Chapter 158: Counterattack on the Demonic Army
In the Heavenly Palace, the Emperor of Heaven and Hua Yuchen stood in the center of the hall. On both sides of the hall stood generals in armor, looking majestic and awe-inspiring. A soldier came to report: "Good news!! Good news!" When everyone heard this, their eyes were filled with surprise and joy.
The Emperor of Heaven hurriedly asked: "Speak quickly!"
The soldier said excitedly: "Marshal Luo personally led an army of 100,000 and trapped the enemy's 100,000 troops in the Five Elements Formation in the valley, successfully getting rid of the enemy's sniping. And in this battle, no one was killed or injured on either side!"
All the generals were excited. The Emperor of Heaven was overjoyed and couldn't stop smiling. He patted Hua Yuchen on the shoulder and said, "Chen'er, you must have had great luck in your previous life! Heaven actually arranged for you such a wife who is like the Creator! There has never been such a battle in the history of war, with a complete victory and no casualties on either side of the enemy!"
Hua Yuchen raised the corners of her mouth, her face full of arrogance, and she couldn't help but say: "I really want to be by her side right now, share the joy of victory with her, and celebrate for her!"
The soldier paused, looking embarrassed, and stammered, "It's just..."
Hua Yuchen was shocked to see his hesitant expression and asked in horror, "Just what?"
The soldier said cautiously: "It's just...Marshal Luo...she is in danger!"
When Hua Yuchen heard this, he felt as if his heart was pierced by thousands of sharp blades, and an invisible hand was strangling his throat. He roared in anger, shaking the earth: "What... are you in danger!"
The Emperor of Heaven comforted him and said, "Chen'er, don't get excited! Listen to what he has to say!"
Hua Yuchen shouted angrily: "Hurry up and tell me! If you dare to miss a detail, I will tear your head off!"
The soldier said tremblingly: "When the main generals of the enemy army were fighting with the main generals of our army, they summoned the power of dark doomsday, causing catastrophic destruction, igniting wildfires, and instantly igniting the surrounding environment. Wherever the fire went, it became a wasteland, and the primeval forest was engulfed in raging flames. Marshal Luo heard the screams of animals and rushed into the sea of fire without hesitation by driving the unicorn. The dive was too strong and he didn't... hold on tightly... and fell into the sea of fire..."
Everyone in the hall was so frightened that they dared not breathe after hearing this. They all stared at Hua Yuchen in horror, waiting for him to explode. Hua Yuchen grabbed the soldier's collar, his face was ferocious and terrifying, and the chill made everyone tremble: "What do you mean by falling into the sea of fire? What happened to her..."
The soldier was so frightened that he almost fainted. He said tremblingly: "Your Highness, don't get excited. Marshal Luo is fine..."
After hearing this, everyone felt relieved. The Emperor of Heaven pulled Hua Yuchen's hand that was tightly grasping the soldier's collar and said, "Let him go and let him speak clearly! Don't scare him, or he won't be able to speak clearly!"
Hua Yuchen then let him go. The soldier slumped to the ground, wiped the cold sweat from his head, and continued: "It was Guard Feng who rushed into the sea of fire in time to save Marshal Luo! Therefore, Marshal Luo was not hurt at all, Your Highness, please rest assured!"
When Hua Yuchen heard that Feng Yequn had saved her in time again, his face looked extremely ugly and his brows were furrowed. He suddenly remembered that in the Fairy Garden, Luo Ying couldn't bear to keep the little rabbit he caught for her, so she asked him to accompany her to release it. Thinking of this, he felt extremely sad and asked in a suppressed tone, "Is Marshal Luo sad to see the animals burned to death in the forest?"
The soldier lowered his head and said solemnly, "Yes, Marshal Luo is very sad. She said that all the developments of the war were in her plan, but she didn't consider that these innocent lives in the forest would be affected by the war!"
Upon hearing this, Hua Yuchen clenched her fists, her expression painful, tears in her eyes as she suppressed her anger and said, "I shouldn't have let her go to Shili Bahuang, I shouldn't have let her participate in the war. She is so kind, how could she bear to see these bloody and tragic scenes!"
The Emperor of Heaven anxiously asked the soldier: "Has the wildfire in the primeval forest been put out?"
The soldier looked up at the Emperor and said, "It's out! When Marshal Luo dived into the sea of fire, Guardian Feng used some purification technique to mobilize countless dark energies between heaven and earth to purify the mountain fire."
Hua Yuchen's heart tightened when he heard this, and he thought to himself, "How could he use dark magic?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Yuchen turned around and asked General You: "Are we ready to launch a counterattack against the demon army?"
General You bowed with both hands and reported: "Your Highness, everything is ready. We can launch the general attack on a chosen day!"
Hua Yuchen said coldly: "No need to choose a date! Let's go today! I can't wait any longer! I want to rush to her side and protect her as soon as possible!"
The Emperor was about to persuade him: "There is no rush..."
Hua Yuchen looked at the Emperor of Heaven and said depressedly:
"Father, please don't persuade me!"
He leaned close to the Emperor's ear and lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear, "If you don't hurry up, your daughter-in-law will be kidnapped by someone else!"
The Emperor was shocked: "There is such a thing?"
Hua Yuchen nodded affirmatively, and the Emperor of Heaven said hastily: "We can't wait any longer! Let's go quickly! Make sure to tie up my daughter-in-law!"
Hua Yuchen sighed and said, "When the demon world's hundreds of thousands of troops besieged us in Heaven a few days ago, I should have immediately counterattacked and forced them into the primeval forest to join her 100,000 troops. I wouldn't have let her take such a big risk! I wouldn't have given others the opportunity to get close to her!"
The Emperor of Heaven patted his shoulder and said anxiously: "Hurry up and set off! Be careful on the road!"
Hua Yuchen nodded and walked to the South Gate of Heaven with General You and other generals.
Hundreds of thousands of troops lined up in unison and were on standby. The scene was grand. Hua Yuchen summoned the white dragon, and other generals summoned their respective mounts, and they flew into the clouds together.
The moonlight at night was exceptionally bright. Feng Yequn stood guard outside Luo Ying's camp. Shi Juyi walked out of the darkness, came to his side, and asked tentatively: "Are you..."
Feng Yequn raised his eyes and glanced at him, then said calmly and disdainfully, "Yes!"
Shi Juyi felt a sharp pain in his heart. He remembered that Shao Hanyue once let it slip: "The battle between the two kings hasn't come to a conclusion yet? How can you be more accurate?"
Shi Juyi suppressed his heartache and asked, "Then...does His Highness know your true identity?"
Feng Yequn said coldly: "He will know sooner or later!"
Shi Juyi asked tremblingly: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell him?"
Feng Yequn glanced at him coldly and said, "Do you dare? Do you think he will kill you first? Or me first?"
When Shi Juyi was asked this question, he recalled the night when Feng Yequn discovered his inappropriate behavior towards Luo Ying. It felt like a fishbone stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter a word.
Suddenly, Luo Ying's terrified voice came from the camp: "Don't... don't hurt them..."
Feng Yequn and Shi Juyi opened the curtain at the same time. Feng Yequn glanced at Shi Juyi coldly. Shi Juyi quickly put down her hand. Feng Yequn walked quickly into the camp, sat beside Luo Ying's bed, held her hand tightly, and comforted her, saying, "Don't be afraid! Those are just nightmares! They are all over!"
