"Roar!" A massive Brown Bear, resembling a towering beast, let out a fierce roar as it charged towards the general of the Feng Qian Guo, its mouth dripping with saliva.
This powerful strike forced the general to focus entirely on defense, leaving no time to reprimand others. Meanwhile, the other generals of Feng Qian Guo were also cornered by several other spirit beasts, unable to spare any time to blame anyone else, as their own lives were at stake.
At this moment, Ling Mo Xie, sitting atop the small Peng, felt an unexpected thrill from completing a main quest. His mood improved significantly as he coldly glanced at the Feng Qian Guo generals frantically dodging the attacks from the leading spirit beasts. He urged the small Peng to fly towards the Spirit City; after all, staying in the air was not ideal.
As the small Peng approached Spirit City, ordinary soldiers on the city walls waved their hands and cheered for Ling Mo Xie. Although they were unaware that the beast tide was due to Chen Yan's efforts, they had seen Ling Mo Xie and Xiao Chi eliminate many soldiers from Feng Qian Guo. In their eyes, he was a hero sent by their king.
At this time, Feng Yi Xing stood at the highest point of Spirit City's walls, leisurely watching as the small Peng flew closer. He thought to himself that this flying mount was quite impressive and considered ways to acquire it.
Amidst the soldiers' cheers and Feng Yi Xing's calculations, Ling Mo Xie landed the small Peng on the broad city wall.
After landing, Ling Mo Xie immediately stored the small Peng in his mount space, causing Feng Yi Xing to squint. This kid's pet space is quite large; his cultivation must be decent.
In the cultivation world, practitioners could create pet spaces to store their beasts. However, Ling Mo Xie's pet space provided by his System was incomparable. The size of one's space was limited by their cultivation level. Many who had captured oversized beasts could only carry them around unless they had particularly high cultivation levels.
Feng Yi Xing had never seen Ling Mo Xie before. Therefore, when he landed on the city wall and stored his mount away, his expression remained unchanged as he strode over.
With an imposing demeanor, he scrutinized Ling Mo Xie closely and said from his elevated position, "You are the vanguard of reinforcements sent by His Majesty..."
Given that Ling Mo Xie's group consisted of only two people including Xiao Chi, Feng Yi Xing naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to think they were full reinforcements. Seeing them assist in defeating soldiers from Feng Qian Guo led him to conclude they were scouts sent ahead.
Ling Mo Xie felt displeased by Feng Yi Xing's condescending tone and coldly ignored him.
Seeing Ling Mo Xie's attitude, Feng Yi Xing became irritated. He released his aura and coldly snorted, "What a lack of manners! You don't even salute when you see me?"
Ling Mo Xie frowned; this guy was a general from Outyun Kimdom with cultivation around Separation Period. Under his pressure, Ling Mo Xie found himself immobilized and unable to move.
Although he had reached level 110, he was merely at the early stage of Out-of-Body and still far from Separation Period.
Seeing the main general of the Izumo Kingdom being so rude, Ling Mo Xie glanced at him and said, "Don't treat me like one of your soldiers."
"Hey!" Feng Yixing was amused and said, "What an ungrateful soldier. I am the main general of this battle. Even if you are a general of the reinforcements, you should still show me some respect. Are you really so bold?"
"Exactly, our General Feng is..." At this moment, one of Feng Yixing's bodyguards spoke arrogantly to Ling Mo Xie.
However, before he could finish, Ling Mo Xie narrowed his eyes upon hearing him mention General Feng and asked in a deep voice, "You mean he is from the Feng Family in the capital?"
"That's right! Are you scared now? Our General Feng is a pillar of the Feng Family. You, soldier, really don't know your place!" The bodyguard thought Ling Mo Xie was afraid and spoke proudly.
Hearing his bodyguard's words, Feng Yixing nodded arrogantly.
Ling Mo Xie remained silent and simply gave Feng Yixing a deep look.
Feng Yixing was the first to speak again, "Alright, since you've safely landed in Spirit City, hand over what you have!"
"What do you mean?" Ling Mo Xie frowned and asked Feng Yixing in confusion.
"What else could it be? It’s naturally that giant roc! You soldier wouldn’t be thinking of keeping it for yourself, would you? That belongs to my Izumo Kingdom. Since you've used it, you should return it!"
Feng Yixing glanced at Ling Mo Xie with a stern expression as if he were being very fair-minded.
Upon hearing Feng Yixing's words, Ling Mo Xie suddenly laughed. It seemed that the people from the Feng Family still regarded him as a reinforcement for Izumo Kingdom. However, even as reinforcements, used military equipment should not be returned to him. Looking at Feng Yixing, it appeared he had become greedy!
Seeing Ling Mo Xie's sudden smile, Feng Yixing felt a bit uneasy. He frowned and glared at him, saying, "Someone take this kid away! Ignoring military orders is punishable by death!"
"Haha! Haha!" Hearing Feng Yixing's words, Ling Mo Xie suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard he nearly fell over.
The soldiers on the Surrounding Wall looked at each other, unsure of what to make of the person who had just been regarded as a hero by them but now dared to confront General Feng. They wondered what he was laughing about.
Feng Yixing was also taken aback by Ling Mo Xie's sudden laughter and said sternly, "What are you laughing at?"
Ling Mo Xie finally stopped laughing, wiped the tears of laughter from the corners of his eyes, and replied, "What am I laughing at? I'm laughing at the fact that the Izumo Kingdom has such a General; no wonder they have retreated to this point!"
As he spoke, Ling Mo Xie's voice grew high-pitched and severe.
Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's righteous words, Feng Yixing was momentarily stunned, then became furious and said sharply, "What do you know? Look around! If I hadn't already arranged everything in advance, startling countless Spirit Domain Spirit Beast Monsters and luring them with Special Elixirs, do you think there would be this Beast Tide that hasn't appeared in a thousand years? If it weren't for my design of the Beast Tide, how could Feng Qian Guo have suffered such a great defeat?"
"Hmph! You soldier, do you think that killing a few Feng Qian Guo soldiers on the battlefield makes you remarkable? You are truly a frog in a well; what you see is only your immediate enemy, while I see the overall situation on the battlefield!"
Feng Yixing spoke passionately and pointedly at Ling Mo Xie, concluding, "Otherwise, how could I be a General while you are just a soldier? This is the fundamental difference between us!"
Hearing Feng Yixing's impassioned and highly provocative words, the soldiers on the Spirit City City Wall looked at him with admiration, while their gazes toward Ling Mo Xie were filled with disdain.
Previously, they had regarded Ling Mo Xie as a hero for killing so many Feng Qian Guo soldiers alone on the battlefield. However, their views had completely changed now.
It turned out that all of this had been planned by General Feng. How could the Beast Tide that hadn't appeared in a millennium suddenly show up? It was clear that General Feng had considered everything in advance, knowing that the Izumo Kingdom's military strength and equipment were lacking and intending to use the power of the Beast Tide to drive away Feng Qian Guo's forces.
General Feng was truly impressive; he had managed to keep everyone in the dark. He must have been afraid of leaks!
Indeed, he was a General; he was not someone we soldiers could compare to.
That soldier who dared to defy General Feng was truly ungrateful; did he think that killing a few enemies on the battlefield made him exceptional? If it weren't for General Feng's designed Beast Tide, he would have been dead long ago—he really didn't know what was good for him!
In an instant, the soldiers on the Spirit City City Wall looked at Ling Mo Xie with expressions full of contempt and disdain.
Seeing this situation, Feng Yixing couldn't help but smirk slightly. Did this clueless Soldier really dare to challenge him?
Although he didn't know how the beast tide had come about, that didn't stop Feng Yixing from attributing it to his own merit!
Upon hearing Feng Yixing's shameless words, Xiao Chi, who had a fiery temper, immediately exploded. He threw the candied hawthorn he was holding onto the ground, his small face flushed with anger, and his eyes seemed to spark with flames as he pointed at Feng Yixing and began to scold him.
"You shameless old thief! How dare you take all the credit for yourself? Aren't you afraid that such grand claims will choke you? Why don't you say that the entire Yun Kingdom was established by you, and that all the major sects are just wagging their tails in front of you? Truly shameless bragging!"
Xiao Chi always had snacks in hand, and his favorite was candied hawthorn. The fact that he threw his beloved snack on the ground showed just how furious he was.
At this moment, Ling City had not yet been surrounded by raging flames, which was probably also due to the restraint of Ling Mo Xie and the System.
Originally, Feng Yixing had mostly ignored Xiao Chi, thinking he was just an ordinary child who might have been brought to the battlefield for some special reason or identity. He hadn't seen Xiao Chi's specific actions when Xiao Peng flew far away.
Now, hearing Xiao Chi's merciless scolding, he realized that what Xiao Chi said was true. His face turned red, unsure if it was from shame or anger.
However, looking at Xiao Chi's expression, which appeared somewhat ferocious, he almost instantly gathered his spiritual power and raised his hand to strike at Xiao Chi.
Ling Mo Xie's expression changed. He instinctively cast a binding spell towards Feng Yixing, but due to the vast difference in their levels, it failed.
Just as he was worried, Chen Yan leisurely walked in front of Xiao Chi and lazily shouted. Suddenly, a small fiery red bird flew over from the battle ahead. The bird was entirely red and about the size of a palm. It had previously fought against a general from the Wind Hidden Kingdom during a Separation Period and had gained the upper hand.
