Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System-Chapter 873 - 528: Searching for Lu Yang_2

"General, the Han forces are already deploying extensively. If we don’t curb them soon, our Great Zhou will surely be defeated. General, we must dispatch our troops!" A silver-armored young officer appeared flustered, his face full of entreaty.

The Great General was none other than Tie Man, whose current alias was Tie Mu!

Lately, some friction had begun between Great Zhou and the Han.

In terms of strength, Great Zhou was actually somewhat inferior to the Han.

Now, the Han army was about to step into our borders, while the Great Zhou army remained inactive.

This had the multitude of officers terribly anxious.

However, the one currently in command of the Great Zhou army was this General Tie.

Rumor had it that he was immensely powerful and extraordinarily strategic.

In just a few millennia, he had risen from being an imperial guard general to the current position of Marshal of the Guard.

He was said to be the fastest-promoted general in the history of Great Zhou.

"Do not panic! Great Zhou is our home ground. If we lose our heads, we’ll disrupt our own formations, making it even harder to contend with the Han. Then, our Great Zhou will lose endless territories, a consequence we cannot accept," Tie Man said calmly.

"Reporting to the Great General, the Han army is less than a hundred thousand miles from our camp!" A soldier rushed in to report.

This was the primordial world, where both nations commanded immortal soldiers.

The weakest of the immortal soldiers were of the Profound Immortal realm,

A distance of a hundred thousand miles could be covered within a few breaths.

Moreover, crucially, during the Han invasion, some unknown deal with the Tang had diverted much of Great Zhou’s forces, leaving it with less than a million troops to defend.

The Han, on the other hand, had sent three million soldiers!

A threefold disparity was hard to compensate for, even with home-field advantage.

Under such overwhelming pressure from the Han, the odds of winning seemed hopeless.

"Wait a bit longer!" Tie Mu remained unfazed.

"The Han army is now less than fifty thousand miles from us!" someone else reported.

"Wait a bit longer!" Tie Mu repeated.

The advising officers were nearly driven to a frenzy.

What was the General’s intention?

Though the chance of victory with a million against three million was slim, there was still a sliver of hope.

Sitting and waiting would mean certain doom!

"Great General, the Han army is less than ten thousand miles away." Another report came in.

"General, we can’t..." the officers began, their voices overlapping.

"Deploy the troops!" Tie Man suddenly rose and tossed out the command flag.

"At your command!!"

The officers, feeling a huge weight lifted, hurried off to intercept the enemy.

This battle waged for nearly a century, and in the end, Great Zhou emerged victorious.

Not just the Han, but even the soldiers and officers of Great Zhou found it hard to believe.

In the command tent, the officers stood again in front of Tie Man.

"The Han attacked with three million immortal soldiers. I delayed continually to gauge the resolve of these troops. Moreover, before their arrival, I had laid various mechanisms that would only activate when they were within range," Tie Man explained solemnly.

When it came to troop deployment and formations, he wasn’t particularly skilled.

But his strength permitted certain tactics!

The officers of Great Zhou felt a sudden revelation.

They were filled with admiration for Tie Man.

The Great General truly had farsighted vision.

"In this battle, all of you have made significant contributions. Upon my return to the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, I will request merits for each of you," Tie Man proclaimed loudly.

His own power, a Reverend!

The supreme with two thousand five hundred Dao Divine Patterns.

Such an existence was considered top-tier even now!

To him, these scenes were like child’s play.

Indeed, it was child’s play.

The struggle of millions, the life and death of millions did not weigh heavily on his mind.

Over the years, he had strived hard to blend into the primordial world.

Climbing to the rank of Great General of Great Zhou was meant to use the fortune of Great Zhou to conceal himself.

Now, his goal had been achieved.

Yet, regarding his next move, Tie Man felt uncertain.

Returning to the outer realms seemed improbable.

Earlier, Feather Reverend and the others suggested meeting up, and he agreed but did not go.

Fear of death!

Feather Reverend and the others might indeed make a move against him.

Better to live ignominiously than die gloriously. Besides, with the Iron Forest Domain gone, who could still have control over him?

Furthermore, recently, his Compass had started malfunctioning, likely tampered with by those from the outer realm.

Not only that, Tie Man even feared continuing to hold onto the Compass, lest those from the outer realm find and kill him through it.

Now, Tie Man has only one wish, to live!

At the same time, Shen Gongbao was still by Tie Man’s side.

And Shen Gongbao is now Tie Man’s trusted and capable subordinate, one of Tie Man’s most trusted individuals.

Many of the Great Zhou soldiers envied Shen Gongbao, thinking that he was lucky.

However, in the midst of the jubilation in the Great Zhou army camp.

Suddenly, an incomparably powerful pressure descended from the sky.

At this moment, almost all the generals of the Great Zhou felt that their cultivation and strength were greatly suppressed.

Immediately afterwards, several figures descended.

When they saw those figures, the Great Zhou generals did not dare to be careless, everyone respectfully said.

"Greetings to the emissary of the Hall of Valiant Spirits!"

Leading them, was actually a familiar face.

Ke Zhenyu!

One of those who competed for the Primordial Destiny.

Now Ke Zhenyu has obtained great enlightenment and entered the Saint stage.

His identity remains the same, a human envoy.

Patrolling the human immortal dynasty, possessing the power of life and death over the human realm.

Even the lord of the immortal dynasty must show respect.

What puzzled the generals was, why did the human envoy of the Hall of Valiant Spirits come?

After all, without significant reason, the envoy would not descend.

Moreover, every time the envoy descended, it was accompanied by a bloody storm!

Just as everyone was confused, Ke Zhenyu spoke.

"Tie Mu! You have interfered with the affairs of the human immortal dynasty, committing the greatest taboo of the Primordial realm. Please come with us!"

Everyone was shocked.

The human envoy came for the Great General?

"Envoy, you must be mistaken! We were merely engaging in normal competition and battle with the Great Han, how could we have violated the greatest taboo of the Primordial realm?"

Everyone was puzzled.

The main issue was, the envoy mentioned the greatest taboo, indicating that the offense committed by the Great General was severe, and the consequences could be too grave for the Great Zhou to bear!

"Envoy, please clarify!" Tie Man said in a deep voice.

At this moment, he was also greatly shocked.

Could it be, they were discovered?

But it shouldn’t be!

He had observed the rules and laws in the Primordial realm for many years, never daring to transgress even slightly, controlling his own strength at the Saint stage, fearing he might accidentally expose himself.

He believed he had hidden well.

Could it be because of other matters?

Regardless, he had to make preparations.

At this moment, another voice rang out.

"Tie Man, as an outsider of the domain, coming to our Primordial realm, you ought to report it!"

At this moment, a figure in white appeared, looking gentle and refined, holding a Jade Ruyi in hand.

At first glance, he gave a very upright, elegant impression, making a good first impression!

"Greetings to Yuanshi Tianzun!" Ke Zhenyu saluted.

The figure in white was Yuan Shi.

After observing the evolution of the River of Time, Yuan Shi along with Tong Tian managed to break through their powers.

Though not as powerful as Laozi, these two had just broken through with 2600 Dao Divine Patterns, nearly 2700 Dao Divine Patterns.

Upon hearing Ke Zhenyu and others addressing him, the Great Zhou people were astonished.

Yuanshi Tianzun?

Tie Man?

A revered identity?

Infiltrating the Primordial realm?

They were baffled, not knowing what was happening.

Before they could react, Tie Man swiftly captured Shen Gongbao to his side, then fled at the fastest speed.

His strength was around 2500 Dao Divine Patterns.

But Tie Man was cautious, having made numerous arrangements around himself, and extensive setups within Great Zhou.

At the moment Tie Man fled, an array rose and enveloped Yuan Shi.

In the next moment, Yuan Shi’s elegant white robe was stained black by Demonic Qi, surrounded by divine patterns, losing his gentle and refined demeanor.

With his black hair scattered, he appeared slightly crazed.

However, Tie Man’s formation was not entirely useless, at least it delayed Yuan Shi for the duration of a breath.

A breath passed in an instant, yet in the duel between masters, a breath was crucially important.
