Chapter 483 The Master Arrives

Young Miss…” Ji Lin said, steeling himself.

Ji Wugou nodded: “This meat porridge tastes good, and Chen Fei also said it’s good for healing!”

Ji Cheng and Ji Lin exchanged helpless glances; there was truly nothing they could do to persuade Ji Wugou regarding this matter.

Ji Wugou quickly finished the meat porridge in her bowl, then stood up: “You don’t need to worry about this matter, and don’t let anyone else know! Where is Wuxin?”

“He should arrive this afternoon!” Ji Cheng thought for a moment before replying.

Ji Wugou nodded with satisfaction. Although Chen Fei hadn’t said it explicitly, Ji Wugou could still feel his pressure. Hearing that Wuxin would arrive with people this afternoon, her lips curved slightly, and her mood improved considerably.

Chen Fei walked out of the courtyard gate and, upon seeing Xu Zhenping, said in a deep voice, “What is it?”

“Reporting, Lord Chen, we completed the arrest of the Demon Cultivators last night, and the Dark Guards also apprehended everyone on Military Advisor Ma’s list!” Xu Zhenping reported, cupping his fists.

They didn’t realize how shocking it was until they started the arrests.

No one in the Zhenbei Army had imagined that Zhenbei City had been infiltrated like a sieve by the Yao Race! What made them even more furious and fearful was finding Yao Race spies within the Zhenbei Army itself!

Chen Fei didn’t speak but instead tilted his head and glanced at him.

Xu Zhenping quickly said, “Military Advisor Ma’s intention is for you to personally go and check on the Dark Guards’ situation.”

Chen Fei nodded: “Alright, take me there!”

These Dark Guards should be the same kind of demons as Lang Wei! Their identity is indeed quite awkward; neither humans nor the Yao Race are willing to acknowledge their existence.

Under Xu Zhenping’s lead, Chen Fei quickly entered the Zhenbei Army’s prison.

At this moment, Ma Shuo’s hair was streaked with gray. To have aged so much in just one night showed the extent of the blow he suffered from King Zhenbei’s death.

Seeing Chen Fei enter, Ma Shuo quickly stood up: “Lord Chen!”

Chen Fei didn’t dwell on their address. With a major battle imminent, if there was no central figure, these people were bound to be a scattered mess!

Chen Fei looked into the prison. One after another, demons with profound Qi but instinctively hiding in the shadows appeared before him.

Sensing Chen Fei’s arrival, the demons inside raised their heads, their eyes filled with curiosity, doubt, anger, and cruelty.

Facing such complex gazes, Chen Fei’s expression remained calm: “I believe you know why you’ve been arrested! I’m not interested in pursuing what you’ve done. I’ll give you a way out!”

“A way out?” A low, hoarse voice sounded.

Chen Fei glanced at the speaker, whose upper body was covered in black fur, revealing half of an aged face.

“The Yao Race army is about to invade. As long as you perform exceptionally and earn battle merits, I will let you leave after the Yao Race retreats!” Chen Fei said in a deep voice.

“Do you think we’ll believe you?” As soon as Chen Fei’s words fell, a scoff immediately sounded.

Chen Fei looked up and then raised his hand. The person who had just spoken was instantly sent flying, slamming heavily into the wall.

The surrounding demons instinctively dodged, then looked at Chen Fei with apprehension.

“You have no right to bargain with me! I’ll ask you only one question: fight to kill, or die!” Chen Fei’s voice was indifferent.

The old demon who had just asked the question raised his head, looking calmly at Chen Fei, and said, “I agree!”

“What’s your name?” Chen Fei could tell that this old demon held considerable prestige among these demons, which was why he asked for his name.

“Mochen!” the Old Man said.

“Good! Then these people will be under your command. My demands are not high: as long as Zhenbei City can be defended, all of you who survive can leave!” Chen Fei finished, his eyes suddenly turning cold: “However, if anyone among you dares to betray the Zhenbei Army during the battle, that person will suffer the same fate as this one!”

Chen Fei pointed at the demon on the ground, who was spitting up large mouthfuls of blood.

Although terror was in this person’s eyes, a hint of malice was hidden deep within.

Chen Fei gave him a cold glance, then waved his hand, and Qi Strength directly struck his body, instantly turning it into a mist of blood!

Blood instantly splattered onto the surrounding demons.

“Understand?” Chen Fei looked at Mochen.

Mochen prided himself on having met many important figures, but Chen Fei, so young yet decisive in killing, was truly beyond his expectations! More importantly, Chen Fei’s deterrent power made his gaze instinctively flinch, not daring to meet Chen Fei’s eyes.

“Understood!” Mochen said, his expression somewhat hesitant.

Chen Fei frowned: “If you have something to say, say it!”

“This old man has one more request, I beg Lord for your approval!” Mochen said, hesitating.

“Speak!” Chen Fei looked at him with an indifferent expression.

“Even if we die in battle, it would be an honorable death, but we still have some young children, the old, weak, women, and children at home. I humbly request that Lord allow us to leave together after the war!” Mochen said, steeling himself.

Although his head was bowed, he could still feel Chen Fei’s gaze on him.

After a moment, Chen Fei spoke: “Alright!”

Mochen’s suspended heart suddenly relaxed, and a look of joy appeared on his face: “Thank you, Lord! We will fight to the death!”

Chen Fei did not respond, leading his people out of the prison.

Ma Shuo looked at Chen Fei’s departing back with a lost expression. For a moment, he couldn’t help but think of King Zhenbei!

Mobilizing a large army is not an easy task, and even defending a city involves many complex matters to handle.

For example, the operation of Formations, the supply of spirit stones, the deployment of Magical Artifacts, and so on…

Fortunately, Chen Fei didn’t need to handle these matters; Fang Wei and the others could resolve them themselves. However, these people still instinctively hoped for a powerful individual to be in charge, as it seemed to bring them more peace of mind…

Just as Chen Fei was stationed in the Zhenbei Army, outside Zhenbei City, a procession of vehicles, as if Immortals had descended, arrived in mid-air.

Leading the way were eight Immortal cranes pulling a carriage, suspended in mid-air, surrounded by auspicious clouds.

As the Immortal cranes stretched their necks and let out long cries, their ethereal calls traveled far and wide.

Around the procession was a group of powerful individuals with profound Qi guarding both sides, also surrounded by auspicious clouds, looking completely out of place in the gloomy Northern Wilderness.

“Young Master, Zhenbei City is ahead!” Just as Zhenbei City became visible in the distance, a Martial Artist quickly walked to the front of the carriage and whispered.

Immediately after, the curtain of the carriage was drawn open. Two delicate maidservants knelt on the carriage floor, their slender hands pulling open the curtain, and then a luxuriously dressed young man stepped out.

Upon seeing the gloomy sky of the Northern Wilderness, he couldn’t help but frown: “Is this the Northern Wilderness? It truly is a desolate place!”

“Young Master, we have already informed Ji Cheng and Ji Lin, and they should be arriving soon!” His subordinate quickly said.

Ji Wuxin’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and then he reprimanded, “Nonsense!”

His subordinate was stunned, but Ji Wuxin sighed softly: “My sister has lived in this icy, snowy place for so long; she must have suffered a lot! Let’s not waste time. Tell Ji Cheng and Ji Lin to wait; we’ll go directly!”
