Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City-Chapter 1262 - 1260: Heavenly Clan Military Camp!

The conversation abruptly shifted.

Lin Fan focused intently, his expression suddenly turning serious.

"I have something to do before leaving."

He glanced over at the overwhelming Xuan Clan army and said calmly.

"What else needs to be done?" Emperor Jade asked, somewhat surprised.

Lin Fan remained silent, letting out a long sigh.

...

The Heavenly Clan Army camp.

Inside the general's tent erupted a thunderous roar.

"What?! Rest for three days?! Who said that, who gave that order?! We're on the brink of annihilating the Xuan Clan army, and now you want to rest? What sense does that make? We absolutely can't rest, we must seize their current vulnerability and strike them down, tomorrow we attack with full force!"

The one roaring was General Dongmen Yuanwu of the Heavenly Clan, a towering figure built like an ox, his muscles so solidly bulging they nearly split his clothes.

Hearing the report from his subordinate, he angrily twitched his eyes, slapped the table, and erupted in fury.

He couldn't comprehend who would give such an order, allowing victory to slip away.

Only an idiot would do that!

For crying out loud.

He was fuming, boiling with rage, fiercely glaring at the shivering messenger before him.

"It… it… it was the Clan Leader's order…" The messenger stammered, his face pale with fright.

"The Clan Leader? How could the Clan Leader give such a foolish order? The Xuan Clan is within our grasp, and now we're just supposed to rest for three days for no reason, letting them recover? Impossible!" Dongmen Yuanwu waved his massive hand, flatly refusing to believe it.

"This… this truly… truly is the Clan Leader's exact words…" The messenger kept his head down, terrified, fearing that Dongmen Yuanwu would take his anger out on him, which would cost him his life.

He never thought passing on a message would be such a dangerous task.

Dongmen Yuanwu's eyes bulged in fury, steam practically coming out of his ears, his face filled with rage.

"General, the Clan Leader must have had some considerations to give such an order. If you don't comply, that would be defying orders… you might lose your head." The Deputy General Xu Qi said placidly.

Though he didn't quite know the reason, he was sure the messenger wouldn't falsely relay the Clan Leader's message.

Since Clan Leader Dongmen Buju gave this order, there must be a reason.

Even though Dongmen Yuanwu was related to the Clan Leader, defying orders was a grave offense, even his family couldn't save him.

"Please, General, think it over first and don't act impulsively."

While Xu Qi's reasoning was valid, it was unacceptable to Dongmen Yuanwu.

Which general wouldn't want to achieve victory?

But with victory so close, having to give it up without reason made him unwilling to accept it.

And,

being hindered by his own, his fury had nowhere to vent.

His facial muscles twitched, and he took a swift step, kicking the messenger out of the tent.

"Get out!"

"Ah—"

A scream echoed as the messenger disappeared outside the tent.

Ironically, it was a relief for him, at least his life was spared.

Suddenly.

The strategist Ji Nan, who had been silent, furrowed his brow and abruptly said, "I heard a noble guest arrived from the Main City, not sure if this is related to him."

"Who?! Who dares to obstruct me!" Dongmen Yuanwu roared furiously, his expression terrifying.

"I heard it's Zhu Qilue from the Five Elements Realm, his father is Zhu Sui, the Clan Leader of the Five Elements Fire Clan." Ji Nan said slowly.

"The Five Elements Realm..."

Dongmen Yuanwu's expression changed drastically, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

He never expected to hear the name of the Five Elements Realm.

Instantly, his heart filled with fear and dread.

Those three words alone awakened his deepest fear, which spread throughout his body.

Moments ago, filled with righteous fury and anger, he suddenly became much calmer, his face full of surprise and shock.

"People from the Five Elements Realm?"

Even his voice softened, slightly trembling.

"Yes."

Ji Nan nodded, answering with composure.

"How... how could it be people from the Five Elements Realm? What… what does this have to do with them?" Dongmen Yuanwu asked anxiously, his face ashen.

"Apparently, Zhu Qilue broke into the Xuan Clan army alone today, killed nearly 200,000 people, and clashed with someone named Lin Fan. He agreed to give Lin Fan three days to consider, and for him to come to the Heavenly Clan Main City alone to duel. Hence, the Clan Leader ordered a three-day truce."

"So that's how it is..."

The rage in Dongmen Yuanwu's heart instantly vanished without a trace.

He initially thought it was some dumb suggestion from within the Heavenly Clan that made Dongmen Buju issue the foolish order.

But unexpectedly, the real order came from the people of the Five Elements Realm.

He simply couldn't afford to provoke them.

Even ten Dongmen Yuanwus combined couldn't take on the people of the Five Elements Realm.

His fear and trepidation of the Five Elements Realm quelled his anger instantly.

Moreover,

Ji Nan's words made his scalp tingle, his hands and feet cold.

Though outwardly he remained composed, inwardly he was completely astonished.

Alone, killing 200,000 enemies.

Is… is that even human?

Moreover.

Being from the Five Elements Realm, they're certainly not like ordinary people from the Sumeru Continent.

To think he had nearly a million soldiers, and in days only managed to kill about 400,000 enemies.

Yet Zhu Qilue did it in just a day, no, half a day.

Alone, he wiped out nearly 200,000 enemies.

That terrifying strength.

Incredible.

How could he not be afraid, not be in awe?

Suddenly.

A question popped into Dongmen Yuanwu's head, he furrowed his brow and asked, "You just said Zhu Qilue went to the Xuan Clan army, who did he fight with?"

"Lin Fan," Strategist Ji Nan stated flatly.

"Why did Zhu Qilue go to the Xuan Clan army?"

"Apparently… to eliminate the Xuan Clan army for us, clearing the path for advancement." Ji Nan thought for a moment, then replied.

"That doesn't make sense!" Dongmen Yuanwu shouted anxiously, clapping his hands, spreading them wide. "He's clearing the path but then returned? And gave a three-day deadline? What's he doing, showing off?"

"Well…" Ji Nan couldn't answer this question either, falling silent.

The Deputy General Xu Qi suddenly chimed in, "Could it be because of Lin Fan?"

"Lin Fan… that name sounds familiar, has someone mentioned it?" Dongmen Yuanwu rubbed his chin, frowning in thought.

Suddenly!

The three of them brightened up at once, raising their heads simultaneously, exclaiming in unison, "Ling Wudeng!"

"Exactly, Lin Fan is the guy who killed Ling Wudeng, it's him!" Deputy General Xu Qi exclaimed excitedly.

"So… what that means is, Lin Fan managed to fend off Zhu Qilue, securing the Xuan Clan army?" Ji Nan's complexion changed slightly, questioning in doubt.

Dongmen Yuanwu froze, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! How could that be, don't you know the strength of the Five Elements Realm? Even a young brat like Zhu Qilue is a monster in the Sumeru Continent. How could he possibly be defeated by Lin Fan, yes Lin Fan killed Ling Wudeng, but Zhu Qilue and Ling Wudeng are on different levels. Most likely Zhu Qilue had a stomach ache or something, that's why they agreed on three days. But I am curious to see this Lin Fan who managed to kill Ling Wudeng."

As he spoke,

a messenger rushed inside the tent, kneeling on one knee: "General, there's a ruffian named Lin Fan requesting to see you!"
