Zhang San, please behave yourself!-Chapter 824 - 760: I Am Chi You!

On the seventh day after the Julong Pass garrison sallied out, Li Shangfa was completely numb.

"Deputy Chief Zhang, we’ve already conquered eleven countries in the Western Regions in this period, isn’t it time to head back?"

Although it had been only seven days, during this time, Zhang San and the others still encountered some kings who, due to timely retreats, did not suffer much loss in their troops.

These kings, relying on their relatively intact armies, not only refused to surrender when Zhang San’s forces approached but some even arrogantly stood on their city walls and taunted Zhang San’s troops.

However, without exception, such countries were directly breached by Zhang San, with the assistance of the soldiers of Julong Pass, under the protection of the three guardian gods of the army.

Thus, in just a short seven days, Zhang San and his men wiped out eleven countries in the Western Regions.

Of course, countries like the Former Che Shi Nation, now the Latter Che Shi Nation, which establihed a new king, were not counted.

"There are a total of thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, and we have only received letters of surrender from twenty-four. The remaining twelve countries are at a considerable distance and it might take half a month to take them down."

Li Shangfa felt that Zhang San seemed not to have listened to a word he said.

"Deputy Chief Zhang, after all, I am the commander of Julong Pass. Now that I’ve taken everyone away, what if something happens there?"

Hearing this, Zhang San couldn’t help but laugh, glanced towards the western sunset, and asked, "If we capture all thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, there will be no enemies to approach Julong Pass."

At this point, Zhang San couldn’t help but recall the third senior brother Wang Bo, who was still in Julong Pass, and the Ying Zhao tribe in the northern woods outside the pass.

Even if something did happen, with them there, there was actually nothing to worry about.

"Besides, any potential problems won’t occur until the third day of April; we still have more than half a month. No need to worry."

Li Shangfa didn’t know why it was only the third day of April that something might happen.

Nor did he understand what exactly Zhang San meant by ’something happening’.

Either way, throughout this journey, although he often felt anxious, he indeed experienced the tension and thrill of being with a renowned general.

After all, in history, any general capable of conquering eleven nations in just seven days was truly exceptional!

Initially, he thought that the Battle of Julong Pass would be enough to secure his place in history. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

But now, it seemed that the Battle of Julong Pass was just a part of the larger "Western Regions Extinction War"!

So, follow Zhang San!

After all, he could never achieve such remarkable results solely by himself.

Just then, Zhang San seemed to notice a red light in the distance.

"General Li, from now on, you will lead the battles together with Wang Ziteng."

Saying this, Zhang San removed the Imperial Sword from his waist and handed it to Wang Ziteng.

"I’ve encountered an old acquaintance and need to check it out."

Saying this, Zhang San patted the black warhorse under him.

This warhorse was Hei Li Jing.

When the 280,000 troops of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions arrived west of Julong Pass previously, Li Jing had specifically come over to assist.

Then, Li Jing took Zhang San and headed off into the distance, while Li Shangfa and Wang Ziteng led 8,000 soldiers further west.

After walking a bit, Li Jing asked curiously, "Why leave the main troop, is there something else that needs to be done?"

Zhang San smiled and nodded, saying, "Indeed, there’s something to be done, after all, it’s rare to meet an old friend here. Wouldn’t you agree?"

As Zhang San finished speaking, on a dry and twisted tree in the sunset, dyed red by the sunlight, the red color seemed to move suddenly, swirling around the branches, eventually transforming into a humanoid figure in a red robe, sitting on the branches — a member of the Demon Clan.

"Chyiou Flag, long time no see!"

When Zhang San looked towards the sunset, he sensed a familiar demon qi.

Although the figure was hidden within the glow of the sunset, Zhang San applied a Triple Combat Talisman to his eyes, noting the presence of Chyiou Flag in the distance.

Zhang San knew that the Chyiou Flag was a relatively ancient demon within the All Things Path, surviving to this day.

The last time, through the Secret Realm’s display, it was not hard to see that this Chyiou Flag had certain strengths and was also very clever.

Yet at this moment, this guy’s presence here aroused Zhang San’s curiosity.

"Ah, Deputy Chief Zhang from the Town Demon Office! It’s indeed been a long time. Why not accompany the Tiger Demon brother?"

Zhang San smiled and said, "He’s still at Julong Pass. What’s up? Is your Chyiou Flag seeking Hu for something?"

The Chyiou Flag laughed lightly, waving his hand, saying, "Nothing much, being one of the Twelve Superior Demons, I plan to make his acquaintance. Even if not close, it’s good to be familiar. Hahaha..."

As the Chyiou Flag feigned laughter, his gaze began to drift towards the now distant army.

Zhang San roughly understood what this was about.

"Friend Chyiou Flag, I wonder if you came to this place because there’s some treasure here?"

"Exactly!"

The Chyiou Flag, who had just been looking towards the distant army direction, now and decisively denied with certainty.

Zhang San smiled slightly.

He knew there must be something valuable nearby.

Otherwise, the Chyiou Flag would not seem so anxious.

"Speaking of which, I just saw the Three Lizard Brothers within your human race’s army. Won’t it be too risky for just the three of them to follow the army like that?"

Zhang San laughed aloud, saying, "Indeed, I hadn’t considered this, thank you for reminding me, friend Chyiou Flag. I wonder if you would be willing to secretly watch over the Three Brothers for me? Rest assured, once you escort them safely back to Julong Pass after the war, there will surely be a reward for you."

Upon hearing this, the Chyiou Flag couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

After all, throughout Longyou Road, all the demons believed that whoever could take down these three brothers had the opportunity to rise to become a supreme demon.

This is also why, for so many years, even though many from the Demon Clan knew these three brothers were superior demons, they still chose to act against them.

But Chyiou Flag is not foolish, in fact, he’s quite clever.

He knows that these three brothers have a good relationship with the Thousand-Eyed Rat King, and secretly, they also have very good ties with Niu Mo.

If the pursuit is unsuccessful, naturally, it’s fine.

After all, despite being pursued for such a long time by so many from the Demon Clan, the three brothers have never retaliated.

If the pursuit is successful, naturally, that’s fine too.

Once they’ve been killed, there’s nothing to be afraid of.

It’s just worrisome if one or two of the brothers die, leaving one alive.

At that point, if they leverage their relationship to get Niu Mo or the Thousand-Eyed Rat King to strike back, that would be troublesome.

Therefore, unless he is confident in taking out all three, Chyiou Flag will not act rashly.

Chyiou Flag thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Forget it. I’ll rest here for a while and then keep wandering around."

Zhang San smiled and nodded.

"Speaking of which, I followed the army here, and I’m a bit tired too. Why not take a good rest here? How about you tell me about the local customs and culture, Chyiou Flag, my friend?"

Chyiou Flag furrowed his brows and said coldly, "No, thanks. Deputy Chief Zhang, as the dignified Deputy Chief of the Town Demon Office, don’t you have your own important duties?"

Zhang San chuckled and said, "I truly don’t have any important duties."

Upon hearing this, Chyiou Flag realized that Zhang San might have discovered something, which is why he was unwilling to leave.

But since he finally found that guy, if that guy is nearing the end, he’ll deliver the fatal blow!

The achievement of killing a superior demon, enough to replace his position!

"Deputy Chief Zhang, how about we make a deal? I know the North Wind Wolf King has some movements. I’ll tell you the specifics, and then you leave, how about that?"

Zhang San knew there was no reason for Chyiou Flag to suddenly appear in this wilderness.

So, there must be something important.

And with the years Chyiou Flag has persisted, he couldn’t possibly outlast me, so there must be some treasure about to emerge.

"No deal. I already know the information you’re talking about. And I also know what’s about to appear next."

Upon hearing this, Chyiou Flag was greatly shocked.

How does Zhang San know!?

Wrong!

He’s tricking me!

Wait a minute...

If Zhang San realized from the beginning that I’m actually here waiting for that thing, then why did he invite me to secretly protect the Three Lizard Brothers?

He’s deceiving me!

He’s definitely tricking me!

At this thought, Chyiou Flag realized that there really might not be any mighty figures protecting the Three Lizard Brothers.

Sure, slaying the three of them poses risks, but with his own power, compared to theirs, crushing them isn’t a problem.

With this thought, Chyiou Flag chuckled, cupped his hands towards Zhang San, and said, "I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first."

After speaking, Chyiou Flag transformed into a ray of red light, sprinting towards the direction where Li Shangfa and Wang Ziteng had left.

At this moment, Li Jing, in human form, glanced into the distance curiously, "Why did you tell him that Hu was at Julong Pass? Aren’t Hu and Silly Roe Deer secretly guarding behind the army?"

Zhang San chuckled and said, "I certainly know that. It’s just..."

Before Zhang San could finish, he noticed that beneath the withered and twisted tree where Chyiou Flag previously stayed, a Secret Realm gate had appeared.

Only, this door wasn’t very large, and the light emanating from it didn’t spread far.

Clearly, it’s not a very big Secret Realm.

But there should be something good.

"Let’s go! Let’s take a look inside!"

Zhang San found that the Longyou Road really is a treasure trove.

He had never seen a Secret Realm while on Chuan-Yu Road, Capital Region Road, and Longyun Path.

Even the one seen over in Tujue was fake.

It’s only been a short time since coming to Longyou Road, and already he’s seen two.

However, just as Zhang San entered the Secret Realm, he immediately sensed something amiss.

"Li Jing, don’t come in! Notify Baili Niezhen and Hu and Roe Deer to come help after dealing with Chyiou Flag!"

The next moment, Zhang San was directly sucked into the Secret Realm door.

Inside the Secret Realm, all Zhang San could see was a vast expanse of blood-red dust and a towering figure.

"I don’t know how many years I’ve been trapped here. Finally, someone comes, huh?"

Zhang San watched as the figure slowly turned, sensing immense danger and overwhelming killing intent.

"Who are you?"

"I am Chi You!"
