Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 959 - 400: The Advantage Is Mine!

A thought flashed through his mind, Dongfang Zhen's eyes flickered with resolve—the Dragon Soul Treasure, he must obtain it!

After watching the armies clash and fight, Dongfang Zhen turned and stepped forward, leading his troops toward where Dongfang Yinghai was headed. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Just halfway there, he suddenly pulled the reins, surprised by the figure standing ahead... the City Lord of Tianwu City, Ming Yuanji!

"Why are you here?"

"By Your Majesty's decree, I've brought the Observatory to assist you."

Ming Yuanji looked expressionlessly at Dongfang Zhen atop his horse: "Your Majesty said, the Southwest Royal Family is at your disposal."

"What about King Qin?" Dongfang Zhen asked while walking, "What's the chance of the Observatory dealing with King Qin?"

"She has become a Martial God and is aided by Emperor Tedi; the Observatory may not be able to contend with her." Ming Yuanji turned around: "Act quickly, your stronghold isn't stable now, don't let the border encounter problems."

Dongfang Zhen nodded and said no more.

Seeing it this way, it wasn't Your Majesty who caused trouble in Hechang City, but who could set his Hechang City ablaze?

...

Entering the city, Dongfang Yinghai looked at the Southwest Royal Family filling the city, a glimmer of greed in his eyes. Honestly, he really wanted to absorb the Dragon Energy of the Royal Family here, but unfortunately, this is the royal family that King Qin wants to protect; he didn't dare touch them.

If he angered King Qin, his life would be at risk.

In the Southern part of the Dynasty now, who could oppose the one who has ascended to Martial God and is blessed by destiny, King Qin?

The thought flashed through his mind, Dongfang Yinghai dismounted with a warm greeting; regardless, he was still one of the highest in rank among this royal family.

'After being on edge so long, finally can…'

Dongfang Yinghai pondered while walking, suddenly feeling the ground start to tremble, the tremors growing stronger over time.

His expression subtly changed, an earth dragon turning over?

The thought barely crossed his mind when panic-stricken voices sounded from the city wall: "It's the Northern Army... it's Prince Ning!"

At these words, all the royal family members in the city turned pale. Dongfang Xinghai immediately mounted and galloped toward another gate, knocking aside royal family disciples blocking the way with a decisive spear.

"I'll go notify King Qin!"

Dongfang Yinghai shouted, his face pale.

Why was Prince Ning here at such a place? How could the Northern Army send so many troops here?

Wasn't he supposed to be clashing fiercely with King Qin on the battlefield!?

Damn it!

Just when King Qin mobilized his army to the battlefield...

Dongfang Yinghai rushed out of the gate but next second, fiercely pulled the reins.

Neigh——

His warhorse raised its front hooves high, despair met Dongfang Yinghai's eyes.

The army besieged the city.

Dongfang Yinghai gritted his teeth, decisively turning back to the city: "All the royal family, to the city wall to face the enemy, King Qin is on his way!"

Tens of thousands of royal family members in the city ultimately weren't ordinary people; all were skilled with the Ten Directions Breathing Technique, although their power varied greatly, with only himself having ascended to Martial Saint. Still... they should be able to hold until King Qin learns the news and rushes over, right?

Dongfang Yinghai deeply regretted now; wasn't it better to follow King Qin charging in the battlefield? Why did he have to run back here?

As these thoughts flashed in his mind, Dongfang Yinghai roared while commanding formations; no one disobeyed him, after all, everyone wanted to survive under Prince Ning's forces, only...

The faint sound of a flute loomed from afar, the Everlasting Song echoing from all directions.

Dongfang Yinghai's spear fell to the ground, his face ashen.

It's over.

...

On the battlefield, Dongfang Xinglan, riding on the Iron Hoof Cloud, slowed down after smashing through the Northern Army's vanguard forces.

Many under her command wanted to achieve merit, and she wouldn't ruin their enthusiasm.

After all, the upcoming routes going north couldn't have her commanding everything.

Once withdrawing with her personal troops from the battlefield, Dongfang Xinglan kept an eye on the battle's situation while awaiting the White Fox's return.

Soon, the White Fox scurried into her embrace, 'anxiously' speaking: "Master, Prince Ning has surrounded the royal family, and there are Observatory inspectors playing the flute, and a middle-aged man in a Dao robe is with Prince Ning."

Dao robe?

Tianwu City's City Lord Ming Yuanji?

Add the Observatory...

This could be quite difficult to handle.

Reflecting upon this, Dongfang Xinglan intentionally showed a somber expression: "Didn't expect Prince Ning had spare forces to attack the royal family, a misjudgment on my part."

"Your Highness, who could predict he'd come all the way here for the royal family?" Hong Ying quickly said: "We can still make it for reinforcement now, the Observatory... I will lead the personal troops to tear down the Observatory!"

"And there's Ming Yuanji." Dongfang Xinglan glanced at Hong Ying: "Two Martial Gods aren't easy to deal with."

Hong Ying fell silent, Dongfang Xinglan chuckled: "No worries, I can hold them for a while, let the White Fox and Iron Hoof Cloud deal with the Observatory, while you eliminate the Northern Army led by Prince Ning, encircle and kill Prince Ning!"

Hong Ying pondered and asked: "Should we redeploy some forces from the battlefield? With just ten thousand personal troops, we can't withstand a Martial God."

"Oh? Confident in dealing with Prince Ning's fifty thousand Northern Army?"

"With Iron Hoof Cloud on our side, their cavalry will only become our assist." Hong Ying laughed: "The advantage lies with Your Highness!"

"Hmm..."

Dongfang Xinglan spurred her horse forward: "Discuss how we're going to kill all those Observatory inspectors as we move, once they're dealt with, the rest won't be an issue."

Hong Ying followed Dongfang Xinglan: "Your Highness, I will lead our forces to inspect the surroundings, and once we find Observatory inspectors, they'll be slain immediately!"

"Have others keep an eye on Chang Shi's army; he likely brought many Observatory inspectors too, be on guard."

"Your subordinate obeys!"

Dongfang Xinglan steadily headed toward the city where the Southwest Royal Family resided, though unclear if her Seven Killings Dao Palace self could withstand the Observatory's 'Everlasting Song', she wouldn't take this risk.

Besides, it wasn't solely humans who could counter the Observatory.

Wild beasts from the mountain could all become her aid under the White Fox's command.

How to utilize these beasts to kill the Observatory inspectors is now the matter to consider.

"Poisonous insects..."

Dongfang Xinglan's eyes brightened, an idea formed.

She looked up at the blazing sun in the sky, clutching the Dragon Blood Pill Lu Jin'an gave her.

Though meant for survival, killing a Martial God counts as surviving too.

Prince Ning still needs to find the Land of Prosperity, best not kill first.

Then Ming Yuanji will have to die.
