Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 968 - 403: Lu Jin’an of Wandao Sect Has Been Waiting for You!_3

"I have sent a letter before, but those people from the Shenmiao Dynasty also know that Lu Jin'an is in Luo'an. Although I don't know through which channel they found out, they clearly intend to benefit like a fisherman profiting off others." A shadow flickered in Li Xuanzhen's eyes, "Therefore, they absolutely won't cooperate with us in the attack, and might even help Lu Jin'an, who is half-dead by exhaustion."

"So, do we still need to assign people to watch the army of the Shenmiao Dynasty? But I've heard that their army is also over a million strong, right?"

"No need to pay attention." Li Xuanzhen slightly clenched his hands, "We must take down Lu Jin'an in one go, giving him no chance to breathe... Our marching speed is much faster than that of the Shenmiao Dynasty's army. Moreover, no one from Yunkong Mountain has reached the Shenmiao Dynasty, and even if there are, it's already too late now!"

Wei Dongyang nodded and asked, "How much longer until we reach that desolate place?"

"Less than half a day." Li Xuanzhen's eyelids slightly drooped, "Moving an army of 1.7 million is indeed quite troublesome."

"Alright, call us when we get there." Wei Dongyang closed his eyes, "Just arrived here and already being dragged into besieging Lu Jin'an, I need a good rest first."

"Hmm."

Eastern Dynasty, East Luo State, Hechang City.

Emperor Yuanhua looked at Lü Xuesong, the solemn-faced State Preceptor, and spoke quietly, "He's really not a Divine Envoy?"

"No." Lü Xuesong took a deep breath and crushed the letter in his hand into powder. Just thinking about how he was deceived by Lu Jin'an, who pretended to be a Divine Envoy, filled his chest with inexplicable gloom.

At that time, Lu Jin'an was right in front of him, clearly within reach to capture for an achievement, yet now he couldn't even see a trace of him.

But depressing as it was, Lü Xuesong couldn't understand why Lu Jin'an would so ostentatiously expose his location?

Especially to not flee after exposure... what exactly is he planning?

Lu Jin'an shouldn't have forgotten that this is not an outside world where he can casually wipe out thousands with just a spell.

Lü Xuesong couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking. No matter what Lu Jin'an was planning, this time he had to be controlled.

"Then..." Emperor Yuanhua pondered and said, "Should the plan continue?"

"Continue." Lü Xuesong looked at Emperor Yuanhua, "Besides him pretending to be a Divine Envoy, everything else he said was true."

Emperor Yuanhua nodded, "I see Li Xuanzhen's letter also asked about how they learned of Lu Jin'an's whereabouts, should we tell him..."

"No need!" Lü Xuesong directly interrupted Emperor Yuanhua, joking aside, if it got known by the Upper Realm that he was played around by Lu Jin'an, let alone the embarrassment, his life would be at stake.

How could such a thing be known to others?

Hmm... I must find an opportunity to alter Emperor Yuanhua's memory.

With this thought, Lü Xuesong stood up and continued speaking, "Your Majesty, it's time to break camp. Li Xuanzhen should have already surrounded Lu Jin'an by now, let's act according to the plan... it's the yellow sparrow at the rear!"

Emperor Yuanhua nodded, but suddenly asked, "Will the million-strong army really obediently attack Lu Jin'an without any doubt?"

Lü Xuesong turned back to glance at Emperor Yuanhua, letting out a cold laugh, "You are all just 'slaves' to the Gods, where is the reason for slaves to rebel? Whether it is I or Li Xuanzhen, we are the true Heavenly Shepherds.

Your Majesty, prepare to cross the river, beyond Longjiang is Luo'an."

Lü Xuesong strode out, while Emperor Yuanhua remained silent.

······

What was once known to be even more prosperous than Shengjing, East Capital Luo'an City is now desolate and silent.

Inside the gate tower of Changxia Gate on the west side of Luo'an City, Zhiyu sat on a bench, happily swinging her slender legs. Her two little bare feet were white and crystalline, with toes as cute as tender lotus buds, and her toenails had a faint pink tint, like ten little petals blooming.

With each movement of her tender feet, Zhiyu happily stuffed the cake in her hand into her mouth, then proceeded to lick the cream off her lips and fingers clean.

"Master, the cake is the best!"

"If you like it, have more." Lu Jin'an smiled warmly at her, "You need to eat well to have the strength to fight."

"Mhm!" Zhiyu nodded vigorously, then tilted her head and asked, "Doesn't Master want any?"

"I'm not hungry." As Lu Jin'an spoke, he placed the recently wiped long spear on the table and reached out to touch Zhiyu's head, "You have it for me."

"Okay~" Zhiyu retraced her neck and nodded with a playful, arched brow, "So when are we fighting?"

"Hmm... it should be about time when you finish eating."

"Alright~"

Zhiyu took another piece of cake from the table to eat, while Lu Jin'an gazed into the rain-soaked outside through the open door.

He could clearly hear the sound of hooves and the clamor of armor rubbing together from all directions, judging from the slight vibration of the city wall, the number of people exceeded a million.

Indeed, the Upper Realm's actions this time were quite prudent, but unfortunately...

"Master, Zhiyu's all done!"

Zhiyu's voice pulled Lu Jin'an's thoughts back, he turned his head to see the little girl propping herself on the bench, stretching out her two tender little feet, "Master, help Zhiyu put on her shoes~"

Lu Jin'an smiled, directly hugging Zhiyu into his arms, helped her put on her shoes and socks, then pinched her cheek, "Then we shall... prepare to welcome our guests."

"Okay~"

Zhiyu spread her arms joyfully and ran out, climbing up the city wall to look at the vast crowd below, her heterochromatic eyes widening in awe.

"Master, there are so many people~ It's my first time seeing so many people~"

Lu Jin'an walked out slowly and lightly, landing atop the city wall, with his hands behind his back, overlooking the million-strong army surrounding the entire Luo'an City.

"The black clouds press against the city, threatening to destroy it..."

"Oh?"

Zhiyu couldn't understand what her master was saying, but she thought that her master, standing straight and with hands behind his back, looked so handsome at the moment~

Thus, the little girl also stood on the city wall, imitating Lu Jin'an by putting her little hands behind her back, overlooking the army miles below.

Despite the army's vast numbers, Lu Jin'an directly looked towards the central army, at Li Xuanzhen and the 15 Upper Realm cultivators brimming with qi and blood.

He raised his hand and slowly removed the Asura mask from his face, revealing his calm, usual expression.

His black robe flapped noisily in the wind and rain, yet not a drop sullied him.

"Lu Jin'an of the Wandao Sect, has been awaiting your arrival!"
