Chapter 565 City Lord

A murderous aura soared into the sky, and the sun-piercing armor light intimidated fear.

Thirty gigantic troop carriers rumbled through the skies above Mingzhao City . The murderous Chongming Army surged out from the ships and charged towards the Ghost Army formation. On the main ship, a handsome flag that was twenty zhang tall was fluttered in the wind, embroidered with the word "Du", and a row of small words below it: Heavenly Policy Palace Dance. Beside the handsome flag stood a slightly shorter golden general flag embroidered with the word "Marquis" dancing in the wind. On the other side was the pattern of a saber and a sword.

Only the Golden General enjoyed the privilege of using the Golden General Flag. Throughout Chongming Island, there was only one Golden General, and that was Hou Xin from the Golden General Clan. This time, he actually personally took action.

A bearded old man held a command flag in his hand and looked down like an eagle. A powerful spiritual force covered the entire battlefield. The command flags in the old man's hands were issued one by one. The Chongming Army was in a tight formation, like an unstoppable flood, advancing without hurry or delay, forcing the ghost army to retreat step by step with great momentum.

Cold sweat broke out on Ghost King Lie's palms. At first, he did not look up to the so-called battle generals among human cultivators. This was because Fang Yunshan, the silver battle general of Star State, had never defeated his father before, so much so that he thought that the battle generals were nothing more than this.

Until now, Ghost King Lie had finally realized how terrifying the Golden Battle Generals were. The command of the hundred thousand people was like a finger pointing at an arm's length. From attack to defense, there was no leakage at all. There was not a single flaw to speak of.

"The Golden General is indeed worthy of his reputation!" Ghost Governor Lu Ge sighed.

Ghost King Lie asked in a deep voice, "Lord Lu Ge, if Father Marshal were to face this Hou Xin, what would be his chances of winning?"

Lu Ge pondered for a while before saying, "Marshal Zuo and Hou Xin's armies are at their peak. As long as one side does not make any serious mistakes, it will be extremely difficult for the other side to take advantage of them. The final result will probably be fifty to fifty percent. Whoever has the most troops will have a greater chance of winning. Of course, there are many other factors that affect the outcome, such as geography and timing!"

"Not a single general in the entire Star Continent is his enemy. Even Fang Yunshan died at the hands of Marshal!"

Lu Ge shook his head and said, "Fang Yunshan is only a Silver Warrier , but this Hou Xin is a gold general. In the entire human race, there are only two or three people who have the title of gold general!"

At this time, the ghost army's battle formation had already started to run out. The Chongming army had suppressed the defensive line until it was constantly shrinking. If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before the ghost army retreated. Hearing that the ghost general beside him was constantly in a hurry, Ghost King Lie's expression gradually sank. He asked, "Why hasn't Erosion Zhong's hundred thousand troops arrived yet?"

"Young Marshal, this subordinate has already sent troops to urge Lord Ghost King Halberd. There should be news soon!" A battle general beside him hurriedly said.

Hearing this, Ghost King Lie couldn't help but feel a little relieved!

At this moment, a ghost captain brought a ghost scout over and reported with an ugly expression, "Young Marshal, something is wrong!"

Ghost King Lie's heart sank as he asked, "What happened?"

"A sneak attack by a human cultivator has destroyed the newly built Secluded Path. Lord Erosion Zhong's reinforcements will not be able to arrive!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of all the ghost generals nearby immediately turned ashen. Ghost King Lie was even more so as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He grabbed the scout and coldly said, "What happened? Where is that bastard from the Ghost King Halberd?"

The scout was so scared that his entire body trembled. He said trembling, "An extremely powerful human cultivator secretly sneaked in. He took advantage of everyone's mishap to destroy the Nether Dao and even killed all the craftsmen. Lord Ghost King Halberd was furious and chased after that person. In the end, he lost the battle. He was waiting fifty miles away for the young marshal to fall!"

Ghost King Lie's pair of bloody eyes were filled with killing intent. With a single puke of ghost power, he crushed the scout's neck and angrily scolded the trash several times!

"Young Marshal, what should we do now?" Shedding her gaze, she asked cautiously.

Ghost King Lie raised his head and looked at the fierce battlefield. He clenched his fists tightly. What else could he do? The backup was cut off. Now, he could only retreat.

"Young Marshal, you go first. This subordinate will bring someone to the rear!" A ghost general shouted.

Ghost King Lie gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Retreat!" With that, he led his five thousand personal guards and quickly retreated.

It was really a turn of events. Last time, Ghost King Lie plotted to kill Du Ru'nan 's 100,000 troops and chased them all the way to Chongming Island. This time, it was his turn to be chased like a stray dog.

Du Wu and Hou Xin chased after them until they reached the Realm River. Killing nearly 60,000 ghosts was the greatest victory that Xiuzhe had achieved so far. If not for Shi Zhong's 100,000 Ghost Army arriving in time, even Ghost King Lie would have perished in this great battle.

More than a hundred thousand ghost troops and a hundred thousand Chongming troops were facing each other across the 30,000 mile boundary river.

As soon as Wei An saw Chu Jun, he rushed forward and gave him a bear hug with one hand. He said excitedly, "Chu Jun, you're still alive!"

Chu Jun rewarded Wei An with a hammer and said with a smile, "You really want me to die!"

Zhen Yan smiled as she looked at the two of them and sweetly called out, "Big brother!"

Chu Jun beat Zhen Yan up and down and nodded, "Well, Sister Yan is beautiful again. Looks like Wei An has irrigated you quite well!"

Zhen Yan was originally petite and delicate, but ever since she gave birth to the child, she had become even more plump, her face red, and even more charming.

"Big brother, tease me!" Zhen Yan said shyly.

"Sister Zhen is really better looking than before!" Xiaoxiao interrupted.

Zhen Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed. She smiled and said, "Big Sister Zhen, how can you compare to Xiaoxiao? Xiaoxiao is about to catch up with Sister-in-law Zhao Yu now!"

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao sneaked a glance at someone with joy. Chu Jun couldn't help but laugh in his heart and asked, "Why are you all here?"

Wei An rolled his eyes and said, "At first, when I heard that you won the battle outside Heavenly Arch City, Sister Yan and I were happy for you. But not long after, the news of the First Prince's annihilation spread. We all thought that you were dead, so we decided to follow the palace hall to avenge you and collect your corpse for you."

"Scram your eggs!" Chu Jun couldn't help but laugh and curse. However, his eyes revealed a trace of emotion. Zhen Yan had just given birth when the two couples ran over personally. This kind of friendship really couldn't be said anymore.

Zhen Yan smiled and said, "I knew that Big Brother is capable. He will definitely be fine!"

"Haha, that's what I like to hear!"

Wei An chuckled and suddenly patted his forehead. "Oh right, Miao Kai is here too. That guy thought you were dead, so he killed the ghost race so he called it ruthless. He doesn't know where he is now. He might have already chased after the ghost race's defeated army and crossed the Realm River!"

Chu Jun smiled bitterly as he spread out his hands. He had always believed that the greatest gain from entering the 18th floor last time would be a group of heartfelt friends like Luo Heng and Miao Kai , followed by the advancement of the Blazing Sun Art and the Cold Moon Art.

"Haha, Patriarch Chu, we meet again. Your elegance is even better than before!" One of them walked over with his sleeves fluttering. It was none other than Liu Yong, the Great Policy Qing of the Heavenly Policy Palace, and Dao Zheng Ming was standing beside him.

Chu Jun couldn't help but be a little surprised. He took two steps forward and smiled, "So it's the two Great Policy Secretaries!"

Liu Yong elegantly waved his long sleeve and smiled, "Please meet me at the main hall of the palace. Sect Master, please take a step forward!"

Chu Jun was the only one in the hundred thousand troops of the First Prince who had done everything in his power. Because of this, Chu Jun's contribution was even more eye-catching. The reward this time was already a foregone conclusion.

Chu Jun gave the sect alliance army to Luo Heng temporarily led, and then followed Liu Yong and Dao Zheng Ming on Du Wu's troop ship.

Nearly two years had passed. Du Wu's hair was still short and her body was tightly kicked. There wasn't much change, but her temperament was even more solemn. Her eyebrows were still filled with heroic spirit.

The two of them only greeted each other calmly. Chu Jun did not curry favor with them, and Du Wu did not win them over. The relationship between the two of them was truly incomprehensible to outsiders. After the two greeted each other, Du Wu let Chu Jun sit down and no longer talk to him. Chu Jun did not know what she was looking for, so he could only sit there patiently.

The troop carrier flew in the direction of Mingzhao City , arriving at the sky of Mingzhao City in about two hours. Chu Jun stood by the side of the ship and looked down. He saw that there were already a large number of people waiting below!

The troop carrier slowly landed in the city lord's mansion. Chu Jun and a group of generals followed behind Du Wu and got off the ship. Du Ru'nan and Du Ruhui personally led people to welcome them.

The people beside Du Wu were all from the Heavenly Policy Palace. They were all proud of themselves, and their faces were filled with joy. This time, the first prince was completely annihilated, but the palace hall had a great victory in sending troops. Not only did they solve the trap in Ming Marsh City, they also killed 60,000 to 70,000 ghosts and drove the ghost army back to Star Continent. In this way, the Heavenly Policy Palace would definitely rise in height, suppressing the Eldest Prince's faction.

"Congratulations, Sister Wu!" Du Ruhui stepped forward to congratulate him.

Du Wu nodded calmly and said, "As long as the two brothers are fine!"

Du Ru'nan and Du Ruhui couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed. After all, it was not honorable to lose the battle, and they were chased away like stray dogs. In the end, they still needed their younger sister to save them.

"Where is Old General Hou Xin?" Du Ru'nan said indifferently.

As soon as he spoke, he mentioned Hou Xin. He was merely reminding everyone that this victory was fought by Hou Xin, the golden general, and not by you, Du Wu alone. Du Wu replied indifferently, "The army is stationed near the Jie River. Old General Hou is still in command of the army. Biri will return to Ming Marsh City!"

Chu Jun was not interested in the battle between the Du siblings, so he looked around in boredom.

Everyone followed Du Wu and the others into the main hall. After everyone sat down, Du Wu cut to the chase and said, "City Lord Qi Guang has died in battle. City Lord Ming Mo is now an important stronghold on the frontlines. In order to cooperate with the army, we must immediately set up a new City Lord. This palace has already reported to my father that Chu Jun will temporarily take over the position of City Lord!"

"What!" Du Ru'nan and Du Ruhui couldn't help but blurt out. Chu Jun was even more stunned.

The hall was so quiet that the needles could be heard. After a while, Du Ru'nan frowned and said, "Sister Wu, I'm afraid this isn't appropriate!"
