We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real? Chapter 350: Our Jin Kingdom Is Willing to Lend the Second Prince a Hand!

Two days afterward, Qin Siyao departed from Yanmen Pass. Though reluctance filled her heart to the brim, her venture out this time had never gained the Qin Kingdom’s ruler’s approval from the start. Should she fail to head back, the ruler might explode in fury.

Furthermore, Qin Siyao sensed that, as a woman, lingering in the army barracks was simply unsuitable.

Thus, after pondering repeatedly, Qin Siyao had no option but to depart submissively alongside Huasheng.

Qin Siyao’s exit brought the Northern Frontier army’s launch date ever nearer.

All setups for troop recovery, restructuring, and supply stocking stood fully ready.

Beyond that, the Northern Frontier army integrated numerous capitulated troops.

Such surrendered fighters got dispersed and spread into assorted battalions.

Dispersing them guaranteed that, while the forces stayed intact, these men would charge foes under Qin Kingdom battle-hardened elites’ command; yet bunched up, their fidelity hung in doubt, and stray notions would surely sprout.

Eight days on, the Northern Frontier army pressed toward Yuetong Pass.

Hence, the Yuetong Pass commander facing the Northern Frontier army merited no concern whatsoever, especially since the refreshed troops were plump, rested after prolonged regrouping, and brimmed with spirit from seizing southern lands.

The Yuetong Pass leader grasped his own limits well.

As the Northern Frontier army assaulted, he merely sealed the gates and hunkered down, refusing battle; yet alas, within under half a month, Yuetong Pass crumbled before the Northern Frontier onslaught.

With Zhei Kingdom’s Yuetong Pass toppled, the realm lay utterly exposed to the Northern Frontier army.

Per the initial strategy, Xiao Shi aimed to split the Northern Frontier army into five divisions, thrusting straight at the Zhei Kingdom capital via five paths. Still, Xiao Shi pondered over assigning which frontline to which general for the push.

After all, Xiao Mo, Fang Weiming, Zhang Kui, and the rest commanded troops in vastly differing styles, facing varied city defenders and forces.

Following a full day’s deliberation, the plan settled: Xiao Shi would spearhead from true north toward the Zhei Kingdom capital. Hot-blooded leaders like Zhang Kui and Yue Lie flanked him as aides, obeying Huang Sifan and Fang Weiming in every affair.

The cautious Liu Xing and Xiao Mo took wing positions beside the core force, shouldering duties to conquer cities and shield the heart from raids.

On the eve of departure, Xiao Mo learned that Xiao Manor’s firstborn young master had quitted Tao Mountain Sect and neared the Northern Frontier army base to aid them.

This tidings thrilled Xiao Yishe deeply.

Lately, Xiao Yishe found himself sidelined entirely. Meanwhile, Xiao Mo’s rank in the Northern Frontier army soared steadily, fueling his inner resentment.

Now, with his blood kin arriving at the Northern Frontier army, he yearned for elder brother’s support.

His elder sibling was a cultivation prodigy, hitting mid-stage Nascent Soul before fifty, even serving as the Tao Mountain Sect Sect Master’s personal disciple!

To Xiao Yishe, Big Brother could surely oust Xiao Mo from his army post.

Xiao Mo dismissed it entirely.

In his mind, regardless of arrivals, he’d focus solely on waging war. Others’ presence changed nothing for him.

At first light on the third morn post-Yuetong Pass conquest, Xiao Mo’s forces stood arrayed and primed, awaiting the mao hour’s midpoint to march.

Merely a quarter-hour shy of launch, Xiao Yishe got dispatched to convey orders to Xiao Mo.

Upon reaching Xiao Mo’s camp outskirts, Xiao Yishe beheld two hundred fifty thousand soldiers in flawless, rigid ranks, awe-inspiringly disciplined. Be they Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry or regular Northern Frontier footmen, all froze statue-still.

"Li Jing, where’s Xiao Mo?" Xiao Yishe queried his old subordinate.

Li Jing cast a cool glance at Xiao Yishe before looking away, snubbing him outright.

Once, Xiao Yishe thought Li Jing slighted him; now, utter disregard!

Humiliation surged in Xiao Yishe, yet as a seasoned commander, Li Jing daunted him from retort. Swallowing it, he bypassed Li Jing to traverse the ranks toward the back tents. But one step in, two fresh, low-rank guards by Li Jing barred him with crossed halberds.

"You dare stop me too?!" Xiao Yishe balled his fists, chest heaving furiously.

"How can outsiders just cut through our formation?" the guard Wang She snapped icily.

"I’m the Northern Pacification Prince’s second young master! Northern Frontier army’s aide general! An outsider?" Xiao Yishe growled through gnashed teeth, but the pair held spears firm, gazes dripping scorn.

"What’s happening?"

As tension peaked, Xiao Mo reined his Snow-Treading Horse up front of the array.

"Reporting to General, Second Young Master Xiao seeks you." Li Jing saluted with clasped fists.

Xiao Mo loomed horseback above, gazing down at Xiao Yishe. "Does Second Brother need something?"

Xiao Yishe gripped his fists harder. "The Northern Pacification Prince sends word via me: Frost Prince’s path holds many sects. Spare those yielding; annihilate the defiant."

"Got it." Xiao Mo nodded, donning his mask to veil his features.

Simultaneously, all fifty thousand Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry donned Asura masks.

The sight shook Xiao Yishe’s soul; he shrank instinctively to the formation’s edge.

These fifty thousand riders seemed reborn as slayer deities.

"Northern Frontier army!" Xiao Mo’s voice boomed via spiritual power.

"This subordinate stands ready!" The Northern Frontier army roared as one, earth-shaking.

"March to war!"

At Xiao Mo’s order, the two hundred fifty thousand warriors surged grandly ahead.

Xiao Yishe gaped at the vast dust storms kicked by the departing host.

The very army once beyond his grasp transformed utterly under Xiao Mo...

"Am I really no match for him?" Xiao Yishe’s nails pierced his palms. "Impossible! I won’t lag behind him!"

…

Qin Kingdom imperial capital.

Second Prince Qin Jingyuan’s study.

Qin Jingyuan served tea to the facing scholar, intoning deliberately, "What brings the Jin Kingdom’s Prime Minister to this Qin Kingdom prince?"

Shortly prior, this scholar visited Second Prince’s estate, passing a missive via guards.

Qin Jingyuan’s perusal revealed Jin Kingdom Prime Minister’s handwritten note plus identity emblem.

The scholar’s lips hooked slyly. "Second Prince, in temperament, ability, and cultivation aptitude, you outshine the First Prince. My lord Prime Minister hears the First Prince amassing Qin Kingdom ruler’s favor, edging toward heirship. Can Second Prince stomach this?"

Qin Jingyuan’s eyes slitted, fixing the man. "Do you grasp your words?"

"Of course." The scholar smirked faintly. "Should Second Prince agree, Jin Kingdom offers full aid!"
