Chapter 218 The War Part VIII

Above Flying Artifact

Qiao Xiao sighed softly, and shook her head. "Why did you do that, Little Ying? That guy must have noticed our presence by now."

"But he definitely wouldn't have thought that you were coming with us, Big Sis Xiao." Fan Ying replied as she giggled. "Moreover, I really can't bear to let those Golden-Tailed Scorpion Beasts die in that Mortal Emperor hands."

Fan Jing shook her head, as she knew that her sister cared so much for other living beings, and she would never have the heart to kill them if she didn't have to. "Just let her do it, Big Sis Xiao. He must have thought that it was only me and Ying'er who came to this planet."

"En. That disciple of mine would not have expected that I would come here with you guys." Qiao Xiao said with a chuckle. "Anyway, let those Golden-Tailed Scorpion Beasts retreat, Ying'er. Otherwise this war will last too long."

"Alright." Fan Ying nodded in agreement, as she was also looking forward to meeting Xia Tian, ??she then sent a voice transmission to the Golden-Tailed Scorpion King.

A bit far from pits area

'Hmm? Who are you?' the Golden-Tailed Scorpion Beast then said. 'I can't escape from this place, otherwise that man will hunt us down and slaughter us later.'

'You don't have to think about him, I dare to guarantee the safety of you and your race.' Fan Ying replied to the Golden-Tailed Scorpion King.

After thinking for a while, he finally agreed with Fan Jing, and sent a signal to his race to withdraw. As they retreated, the five tree minions and the tree roots continued to protect them.

'.',

After Fan Ying confirmed that the Golden-Tailed Scorpion Beasts had disappeared from that location, she immediately canceled her technique, the tree minions turned into leaves and disappeared from before Hong Chen along with the tree roots.

"Damn it! Who really controls the tree creatures and tree roots?" Hong Chen cursed loudly, as he wondered in his heart. 'Those tree creatures are very strong, I'm sure their controllers are much stronger than me, but it seems that person doesn't want to get involved in this war, and that person is only protecting the Golden-Tailed Scorpion Beasts.' "What about causality in our army, Brother?"

"Fortunately, we moved quickly, Brother Chen. Otherwise we would have lost a lot of troops because of those scorpions." Hong Li reported, as he breathed a sigh of relief.

Hong Chen nodded to him. "Order them to immediately move to the Zhu Kingdom at full speed!"

"Yes, Brother Chen!"

p After that, they returned to their original position, as they increased their vigilance. But they hadn't walked too long, Hong Chen's front troops had already fallen into the pits that Xia Tian and Chen Luan had prepared beforehand, and so many of them had died from the traps inside.

"What else is going on now!?" Hong Chen roared in fury.

A soldier in a cold sweat reported. "Emperor... Emperor Hong, our front soldiers fell into man-made pits, there were many traps in those pits, and many of our front troops died."

"Damn it!" Hong Chen cursed, then he spread his senses, and he found several Zhu Kingdom soldiers hiding behind the trees, and there were several traps near them. "Die!"

Hong Chen directly attacked those hiding soldiers, they exploded along with all those traps, as soon as Hong Chen's Flames slammed into them.

Xia Tian himself had predicted that Hong Chen wouldn't be caught in by the traps from the side, and he was actually setting up traps on the side only hindering their movement. But at least they had lost quite a number of soldiers to the Golden-Tailed Beast's attacks, as well as the pitfalls.

After that, Hong Chen ordered his troops to follow the road in front of them, and made sure that no other traps were waiting for them. After they confirmed that the road was clear of traps, Hong Chen and his troops immediately rushed towards Zhu Yuhe and her troops.

Zhu Kingdom Army Camp

General Jin, General Mang, and General Wang had also returned to their main camp, they were now just waiting for the arrival of Hong Chen and his main army, before they started the actual war.

Zhu Yuhe looked at the distance, and said. "Even though Hong Chen has lost a lot of his troops, but his main force is still five times more than ours, Sister Xuan."

"Sigh, we predicted this from the start, he rules the entire southern continent after all." Zhou Xuan replied with a low sigh.

Xiang Yin then said. "But I don't think it's a problem for us, Yuhe. As long as you can restrain Hong Chen, then we can take on his troops with ease."

"That's right, Yuhe." Mu Ruxue said, as she appeared before Zhu Yuhe and the others taking them by surprise. "Master has already prepared other things while you were in seclusion, so you just need to focus on dealing with Hong Chen, and leave his troops to us."

"Who are you, Young Miss?" Xia Ling curiously asked, Xiang Yin, Yu Suya, Yu Suyin, and the other generals also looked at Mu Ruxue curiously, only General Jin looked relaxed, because Mu Ruxue was the one helping them in the east.

"Her name is Mu Ruxue, and she is my friend." Zhu Yuhe replied curtly, and she didn't tell them that Xia Tian was her Master.

Mu Ruxue only nodded to them, and she didn't say anything to them about Xia Tian either. But suddenly, two women descended from the sky, and landed in front of them, they were He Shiyun and Chen Luan.

The generals were startled by their arrival, while Xiang Yin and the others were not surprised by their presence, since they already knew about He Shiyun and Chen Luan, but Xia Ling was wondering. 'So Little Tian purposely sent them here?'

"Where is he now, Shiyun?" Zhu Yuhe asked, as she turned to her.

He Shiyun shrugged, and pointed at the distant sky. "He is there, and he is preparing to attack Hong Chen's army."
