"What exactly did you do?"
Mo Lihong could hardly believe his eyes, sweating profusely in his urgency.
"Return our treasures to us now!"
Mo Liqing and Mo Lihai were also furious and helplessly roared towards Yu Yuan on the city wall.
Yu Yuan nonchalantly placed the three treasures on the battlements, smiling at the Mo Family Four Generals: "If you are willing to join Linhuan Pass, then I will return all the treasures you've lost."
Upon hearing this, Mo Lihong, Mo Liqing, and Mo Lihai all had flickering eyes, clearly hesitating.
Only Mo Lishou had no hesitation, angrily retorted: "Thinking the four of us brothers would betray? Wishful thinking! We, the Mo Family Four Generals, are deeply indebted to the king's grace and will never betray Great Shang!"
Mo Liqing, Li, and Hai: (°ー°〃)(▼ヘ▼#)(▼へ▼メ)
Easy for you to say!
Seems like you're not the one who had your treasures taken, right?
Mo Lishou, noticing the gazes of his three brothers turning towards him, asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you three elder brothers, why are you all silent?"
"It's nothing…" Mo Liqing reluctantly replied, "We are thinking of ways to deal with him."
"Aren't you surrendering yet?"
Hearing Mo Liqing's words, Long Ji slightly furrowed her brows and once more summoned an Immortal Sword in her hand, with just a light swing, immediately unleashed endless fierce sword light, enveloping the Mo Family Four Generals.
"Swish swish swish!"
Countless sword lights pierced through the air, emitting piercing sounds, furiously stabbing towards the Mo Family Four Generals.
Without their treasures in hand, the Mo Family Four Generals dared not face it lightly and quickly mustered their mana to form a protective barrier.
"Alright, give them a chance."
Yu Yuan stopped Long Ji's pursuit, tired of further idle talk with the Mo Family Four Generals, waved his sleeve and said: "You all go back and think it over, come find me when you have made up your minds."
"Humph, we will come back!"
Mo Lishou said angrily, then was pulled away by Mo Liqing.
The Mo Family Four Generals fled back to their camp in a sorry state.
Huang Feihu, seeing even them defeated, became extremely anxious, "Generals, what should we do now? With such a formidable person guarding Linhuan Pass, our 300,000 troops might hardly advance an inch!"
A deputy general beside him swallowed his saliva, his voice dryly uttered: "Even the Four Generals couldn't stand against him, if that Yu Yuan Immortal turns his wrath on us, I'm afraid just a sneeze from him would turn our 300,000 troops to ashes."
"That's also true."
Mo Lihong, who faced Yu Yuan directly, earnestly nodded and then saw King Wu Cheng, Huang Feihu's gaze turning odd.
He then realized.
On a battlefield, how can one boost the morale of others and diminish one's own prestige?
He quickly added: "But don't worry, if those of us on the Immortal Path take action against mortals, it increases the burden of karma. Slaughtering 300,000 troops—that's a monstrous sin. He wouldn't dare to do it."
"That's right, Marshal need not worry too much."
Mo Liqing seriously said: "Although we were defeated, we figured out that Yu Yuan is indeed restrained by the Vajra Bracelet, and he can't really take action or even use the Spiritual Treasure without suffering backlash from the Dao Fire.
As long as he can't make a move, just those people at Linhuan Pass are really nothing.
I'll go and ask some Dao Xing profound friends to come and help soon; by then, Linhuan Pass will undoubtedly fall!"
Mo Lishou also said: "Eldest brother is right, just so long as we invite more experts to hold back that Yu Yuan, the others are no match for us!
By then, Yu Yuan will only be able to watch as we flatten Linhuan Pass."
Hearing the two speak so surely, Huang Feihu then felt reassured.
"If so, that would be great, then it's all up to you, Generals. If you can capture Linhuan Pass this time, I shall report to the king and ask for your merits."
Mo Lishou, upon hearing this, laughed heartily: "Marshal, just wait for our good news!"
Having said that, he took the lead, rising into the clouds on his horse.
The other three also rode their Tunneling Light, heading in different directions.
After the Mo Family Four Generals went to call for reinforcements, Huang Feihu ordered the army to retreat a hundred miles, to camp on the spot while also commanding the soldiers to chop trees to make ladders.
As a veteran of the battlefield, he always ensured that his soldiers were ready to siege at any moment.
As long as the Mo Family Four Generals could defeat Yu Yuan and those other Immortal experts, he was fully confident in successfully taking Linhuan Pass.
Taking this opportunity, Wen Zhong also took the time to train the soldiers and forge weapons and armor.
Although he lacked Huang Feihu's experience in leading troops in battle, he was deeply respected and loved by the people of Linhuan Pass, possessing enough prestige to train farmers and slaves who had never been on a battlefield into soldiers.
After all, their job now was merely to defend the city walls.
Linhuan Pass, with its tall walls and deep fortifications, was easy to defend but hard to attack; only a small number of soldiers were needed to hold the city walls, capable of resisting an enemy force several times their size.
Meanwhile, in Great Shang, several generals suggested launching an attack to test the realities of Linhuan Pass.
Since they were idle anyway, why not try to attack the city? Whether the city can be taken isn't important; the main purpose is to understand the defensive strength of Linhuan Pass, to prepare for the battles to come.
However, Huang Feihu shook his head, "This move is unwise. The Mo Family Four Generals are not here, and that Yu Yuan Immortal is not easy to deal with. Rashly going forward and being counterattacked by the opponent would be troublesome."
"Marshal is wise."
The junior officer who proposed the plan complimented, then saw Huang Feihu turning his head to gaze towards Linhuan Pass in the distance with a somewhat complex expression.
