King of Creation Chapter 2263 - 2248: Changes in the Blood River Forbidden Land
Previously on King of Creation...
"Grand Marshal, we’re at the frontlines, in a combat zone where opportunities can vanish in an instant. Implementing such stringent military law isn’t this self-defeating?" After reading the newly added military regulations Ye Zhen brought back, Liuu Feng and Gu Tieqi furrowed their brows deeply.
"His Highness Prince Huan has endorsed, Marshal Huaa agrees, do we have any choice but to implement them?" Ye Zhen blinked his eyes helplessly.
Liuu Feng and Gu Tieqi exchanged glances, speechless for a long time.
"How have our personnel been arranged?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Reporting to the Grand Marshal, the defensive sector has been fully handed over. Except for the militia from Dock Castle, others have followed Marshal Huaa’s orders, returned to Blood River Military City, and are awaiting military instructions," Liuu Feng said.
"Mm, issue the orders. All troops must strictly adhere to these newly added military regulations, and ensure Military Judge Ji Guan doesn’t find any reason, understand?" Ye Zhen firmly looked at Liuu Feng and Gu Tieqi.
"Understood, I’ll personally issue the orders!"
As soon as Fire Swallow Army Marshal Huaa Yong took over Blood River Military City, he adjusted the deployment of major defensive sectors.
The Cairo Fortress and Yang Gate Fortress previously controlled and guarded by Ye Zhen’s Heavenly Wave Army of North Sea, were fully replaced by the Fire Swallow Army’s main force.
Aside from the fifty thousand militia and twenty thousand death slaves stationed at Yang Gate Fortress and Cairo Fortress, each had a deployment of one hundred thousand elite Fire Swallow Army soldiers.
The remaining main forces of the Fire Swallow Army, Heavenly Wave Army of North Sea, and the First Legion of Northern War Zone led by Heu Qi, were all stationed in and around Blood River Military City, under the direction of the Fire Swallow Army Marshal.
Ye Zhen had no particular thoughts about this redeployment arrangement initially.
But after today’s military meeting, it seemed different.
Ye Zhen felt the newly added military regulations by Marquis Kaiyuan Ji Guan, serving as the military judge for Blood River Military City, might be ensuring the secrecy of the mysterious blood light formation beneath the city. However, it might also be aimed at Ye Zhen.
Ji Guan is the dear nephew of Grand Governor Ji Yuan, and Marshal Huaa Yong is the beloved trusted general of Grand Governor Ji Yuan. Even if Ji Guan’s military law can govern the Fire Swallow Army, handling them could be discussed behind closed doors.
So the targeted object of this new military regulation is evident.
Besides Ye Zhen, who else could it be?
As for the Northern War Zone First Legion Marshal Heu Qi, likely suffered Ye Zhen’s disaster.
However, Heu Qi is exceptionally astute; his silence during today’s military meeting basically represents his stance.
If His Highness Prince Huan Ji Ao hadn’t arrived and intervened, given Ye Zhen’s current status and prestige, Huaa Yong wouldn’t easily control him.
Regarding this monkey Marquis Kaiyuan Ji Guan daring to come to this precarious frontline at Blood River Battlefield and target Ye Zhen, if Ye Zhen doesn’t make him gloriously die in battle, it wouldn’t do justice to this crucial battlefield of Blood River Military City.
However, with Prince Huan Ji Ao’s presence and backing, it’s different.
The death of a royal disciple could surely stir up a storm.
Under such circumstances, Ye Zhen has no choice.
He can only honestly execute these newly added military regulations.
Honestly execute them, let’s see what flaws you can find.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhen sighed inwardly again.
The frontline situation of the Human-Demon Battlefield is complex to this extent, encountering the outbreak of the mysterious blood light formation beneath, potentially destabilizing the nation’s foundation when there’s a chance to inherit the throne with Prince Huan Ji Ao and Prince of Political Affairs Ji Yuan, still here targeting opposing factions, truly not a blessing for the Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, for Ye Zhen, unloading the position of Marshal in charge of the Blood River Military City defense line and becoming a marshal of one of the army listening solely to military orders, the heavy burden was immediately lifted.
No longer needing to constantly consider changes in military situations or potential loopholes.
These matters will all fall into the hands of Fire Swallow Army Marshal Huaa Yong to consider from now on.
Phew!
Standing up, exhaling slowly, Ye Zhen spoke to his guards, "Inform Liuu Feng that this commander will make a trip to the location of the blood light formation beneath Blood River, relay any urgent messages."
Ye Zhen’s current military duties, one is as the Marshal of North Sea’s Heavenly Wave Army, listening to orders under Marshal Huaa Yong to assist in defending Blood River Military City’s defense line.
The other is with the status of Left Chief Priest of the Barbarian Spirit Hall, participating in matters of dismantling the mysterious blood light formation beneath Blood River.
The Imperial Decree states clearly, at this moment of leisure, Ye Zhen must make a trip.
Moreover, to speak the truth, Ye Zhen is also very curious, after more than three years, how far has the Ancestor God Temple in their research and break of the mysterious blood light formation beneath Blood River reached?
"Wang Xiaomao, let’s go!"
With a low shout, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten suddenly appeared on Ye Zhen, its form enlarging as it broke through the void and sped afar.
Watching the kitten speed away like lightning, Ye Zhen’s eyes showed a trace of helplessness.
The Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten previously shared Mirage Dragon Pearl space training with Heavenly Patrol Divine General Fengg Jiumo, practicing the Illusory Heart Dao-Questioning Secret Technique, has concluded.
Fengg Jiumo claimed a great harvest, needing certain time to digest and absorb, then attempting to thoroughly break through into Void Hunting King.
But for the kitten, it still hasn’t completely broken through to Dao Realm, remaining at the half-step Dao Realm.
When it can thoroughly break through into Dao Realm is unknown, anyway, short term, there is no hope.
Of course, there are gains; after co-training with Fengg Jiumo using the Illusory Heart Dao-Questioning Secret Technique, the kitten’s flying speed and innate divine ability’s power improved further.
Its void-breaking and space-crossing distance increased from fifty thousand miles to eighty thousand, flying speed also increasing by twenty percent.
Ye Zhen is also helpless for now, only to think of ways slowly in the future to help the kitten break into Dao Realm.
The kitten’s current flying speed is several times faster than Thunderbolt.
But just as it soared skyward from the barracks, it encountered a patrolling squad of black-clad military law soldiers. Seeing the sudden escaping light, the leading military judge issued a thunderous shout.
"Who dares leave the camp without permission, stop!"
Ye Zhen’s gaze swept slightly; the leader was actually a military judge at the late stage of Realm King Realm, which allowed him to discern clearly his figure.
Unexpectedly, Ji Guan’s military law unit has already rapidly strengthened control.
However, their strengthened control is none of Ye Zhen’s concern; he’s not interested in wasting time with them.
With a thought of his Divine Sense, the kitten’s flying speed immediately multiplied.
Before the military judge could catch up, the kitten had carried Ye Zhen away, vanishing without a trace, leaving the pursuing military judge stomping his feet in fury.
"How dare someone defy military law, defy His Highness Prince Huan’s orders, actually disgraceful!"
"But the speed, it’s way too fast, isn’t it? Did anyone see who that was?" The military judge asked his soldiers behind him.
Considering those with such speed, there are only a few in Blood River Military City.
A group of military law soldiers exchanged looks, shaking their heads in confusion. Their cultivation levels limited, the figure was too fast even to discern, not just the flash of light, only a glimpse as it disappeared.
The leading military judge frowned tightly, struggling to recall.
"It seems, the mount was a tiger with wings?" Remembering this detail, the military judge’s eyes suddenly brightened.
With the kitten, which otherwise requires a Dao Realm expert to fly over an hour to reach the entrance of the mysterious blood light formation under Blood River, the kitten arrived in merely a hundred breaths.
This without utilizing Void-Breaking Divine Skills, that would allow instant arrival.
The entrance to the mysterious blood light formation beneath Blood River is now completely under the management of the Sacrificial Guards of the Ancestor God Temple.
After showing his Identity Jade Token as Left Chief Priest of Barbarian Spirit Hall, and presenting the Imperial Decree, Ye Zhen passed unchecked directly to the depth of Blood River Forbidden Land, reaching the location of the mysterious blood light formation.
But with deepening moments, Ye Zhen’s gaze grew increasingly astonished!
The location of the mysterious blood light formation is now completely different compared to three years ago.
The transformation is simply earth-shaking!
