Meanwhile, Chen Moxuan sat atop Tiger Brother, standing beside the precipice and watching the army swiftly pass below. As the last member of Di Sha Zhan Bu crossed, he furrowed his brow, gazing into the distant mist, his mind swirling with thoughts.
Beside him, Tiger Brother lazily stretched and spoke up. "What’s with that expression? Isn’t returning to the mountain a good thing? Why the frown?"
Chen Moxuan gently shook his head, a hint of doubt flickering in his eyes. "Tiger Brother, I can’t shake the feeling that Master is hiding something from me, or perhaps she doesn’t want me involved in certain matters."
Upon hearing this, Tiger Brother widened his eyes slightly and replied, "What makes you think that? Your Master has always cared for you. Is there anything she could possibly keep from you?"
Chen Moxuan shook his head again. "Master has lived with me for thousands of years; I can read her emotions like an open book. This time, I sense something troubling her."
Seeing Chen Moxuan’s serious demeanor, Tiger Brother couldn’t help but ask, "So what do you plan to do? What’s our next move?"
With determination in his gaze, Chen Moxuan pondered for a moment before speaking slowly. "I am currently dealing with the Blood Emperor, yet Master hasn’t stopped me. This suggests that the Blood Emperor isn’t her top concern."
He continued with a resolute tone, "There must be something more troublesome she’s keeping from me. Therefore, I’ve decided to take action first. I want to unify the Mortal Empire and Holy Land of Yun Miao Sheng Zhou to forge a new Heavenly Court. This way, regardless of what trouble Master is hiding, we will have more strength to face it."
Tiger Brother scratched his head in confusion and asked, "Then why didn’t the Former Emperor establish a Heavenly Court? That way, no matter what happens, we would have a support system."
Chen Moxuan sighed and explained, "Master has been recovering from injuries for some time now. Moreover, to establish a Heavenly Court requires a Kaitian Seal; that is Heaven’s acknowledgment of the Heavenly Court Master. Only the Heavenly Court Master has the authority to confer titles upon the gods."
Tiger Brother scoffed at this notion. "So this power has to be granted by Heaven? That sounds like quite a hassle."
At this remark, Chen Moxuan immediately tapped Tiger Brother on the head to silence him and said with a serious expression.
"Don't speak carelessly. What exactly is heaven? I don't know either.
I do know that my master is very wary of it. She always says that heaven has its own will and should not be easily defied.
Therefore, if we are to establish the Celestial Court, we must first find the Kaitian Seal and gain heaven's approval."
At this point, Chen Moxuan's gaze became resolute; he knew where the Kaitian Seal was located. The problem was that the forces he could currently command, whether military or otherwise, were insufficient for such a monumental task.
"Get ready," Tiger Brother suddenly said. "They are almost at the city gates!"
Hearing this, Chen Moxuan straightened up. Tiger Brother flapped his wings and swiftly flew into the sky above the army.
Below, Chen Feng led the Di Sha Zhan Bu, having arrived outside the Tian Gang Battle Division's stronghold. The Dragon City where the Tian Gang Battle Division was stationed loomed majestically.
The city walls towered into the clouds, constructed from unknown black stones that appeared incredibly sturdy, as if they could withstand any invasion. Intricate runes were carved into the walls, faintly glowing and adding an air of mystery to the fortress.
At this moment, the city gates slowly opened, and an elderly man clad in silver armor stepped out. He was none other than General Long Yunhua of Tian Gang.
The leader of the Northern Dragon Clan was over seventy years old and possessed the strength of a formidable mortal cultivator at the Dao stage. Long Yunhua had a resolute face, his hair and beard completely white, yet his eyes sparkled with an indomitable spirit. Although his figure appeared slightly hunched, each step he took was steady and powerful, as if mountains and rivers trembled with his movement.
This was clearly a display of strength—an intimidation tactic right from their first meeting.
Chen Feng wore a calm smile, showing no sign of disturbance in his eyes. He slowly raised his hand and gently patted his mount's neck before riding forward to look down at Long Yunhua, exuding an air of unhurried confidence.
"Hmph! Chen Feng, you have some nerve! Why do you not dismount and pay your respects upon seeing this general?" Long Yunhua's eyes widened in fury, his voice booming like thunder.
The sound reverberated through the city gates, clearly indicating his extreme dissatisfaction with Chen Feng's disregard.
Chen Feng maintained his smile, stroking the mane of his horse as if soothing a startled steed. After a moment, he finally spoke: "Long General, respect begets respect. I, Chen Feng, have come here for the safety of the Northern Territory, not for personal gain."
"Why did you abandon your post? Are you not putting the Northern Territory in danger?" Long Yunhua shouted.
Abandoning one's post? I believe that once General Long hears what I have to say, he will naturally discern right from wrong. Isn't General Long inviting me in for a chat?
Upon hearing this, Long Yunhua's expression changed slightly, clearly surprised by Chen Feng's audacity, and he retorted, "Do you dare to enter Dragon City? Do you know this is the stronghold of the Tian Gang Battle Division? Anyone who trespasses will be killed without mercy!"
Chen Feng calmly replied with a smirk, "Why wouldn't I dare? I, Chen Feng, have come precisely for the greater good of the Northern Territory. What is there to fear?"
Seeing this, Long Yunhua's lips curled into a meaningful smile. He slowly stepped aside and gestured for Chen Feng to enter, saying, "Alright, you've got guts! If you dare to come in, I want to see what you're up to."
At his words, Chen Feng immediately spurred his horse forward. However, just as he stepped through the gates of Dragon City, several captains from the Tian Gang Battle Division immediately took up defensive positions, their weapons drawn at his throat. The atmosphere instantly became tense.
Yet Chen Feng showed no fear; he raised an eyebrow and countered, "Is this how General Long treats his guests? Though I am not talented, I am also a general of the Di Sha Zhan Bu. Such treatment seems rather inappropriate."
Long Yunhua realized he could not afford to be overly polite. His expression darkened as he ordered the captains to lower their weapons and personally led Chen Feng inside.
However, while this commotion seemed to settle down, everyone knew that war could break out at any moment. The two entered the main hall of Dragon City, where Long Yunhua's face was grim as he asked straightforwardly, "Chen Feng, what exactly do you intend to achieve with this visit? Don't try to placate me with flowery words about discussing important matters!"
Chen Feng met Long Yunhua's gaze steadily and replied firmly, "General Long, my purpose is clear: I aim to unite the Tian Gang Battle Division to resist external enemies and ensure the peace of the Northern Territory."
Upon hearing this, Long Yunhua's anger flared; he slammed his hand on the table and mocked, "Hmph! Chen Feng still tries to sweet-talk me. You have defied orders and led troops into the Azure Wolf Kingdom—this is a grave offense! Just a few days ago, I heard that Prime Minister Su Mingyu led an army here to quell the rebellion. You were fortunate enough to escape becoming a prisoner! To dare step into Dragon City is simply courting death!"
