Chapter 207 - 300 Essences

The Hongji's leader led the army and attacked the lair of the King Chu, causing them to fall into a panic. They then arranged for the troops to quickly support the few small cities near the Imperial City, forming a half encirclement. Ling Xiao said.

Hearing this, Ye Lvhongji and the few strategists beside him all nodded their heads as if they thought of something.

"Sect Master Ling is still the most considerate of considerations. Like this, we don't need to worry about being intercepted by the King Chu's men. As long as we follow in the opposite direction and my men go to camp, blocking the way, they will only be able to watch as Sect Master Ling runs away." Ye Lvhongji laughed and said.

Ye Lvhongji was very satisfied with Ling Xiao's plan, and the stone in his heart also fell to the ground.

"Sect Master Ling, I'll help you prepare whatever support you need right now." Ye Lvhongji asked.

Ling Xiao shook his head and said: "I just need a detailed map of the vicinity of Imperial City, and I need to clarify the details, and then prepare a fast horse. I must get a good horse, and also prepare all the rations on the road."

"Are you sure you don't need to bring anyone? I also have experienced experts on the battlefield, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to give a hundred and eighty people to you to use. " Ye Lvhongji asked again.

Ling Xiao smiled and said: "If I say there's no need, then there's no need. Do you think I'm deliberately putting on a show? "These three hundred elite warriors are no problem at all."

Seeing that Ling Xiao was not joking, Ye Lvhongji knew that he was being overly worried, and nodded his head: "Ok, I will immediately get people to prepare the things that Sect Master Ling needs."

I am ready, I will set off now, and hope that Ye Lvhongji can catch up quickly, time is not for the people, if King Chu is aware of your movements, he will definitely pay attention to your family, because that will be his last bargaining chip, so we have to be a bit faster, otherwise, it will be very dangerous. Ling Xiao reminded.

Hearing that, Ye Lvhongji muttered to himself for a moment, then nodded and said: "I understand Sect Master Ling's meaning, either we should act together, or we should just not move, if not my family would be in danger because of our unilateral actions."

"It's good that Hongji's leader understands. Although I know your heart is with your family, but you must not forget, you still have countless of people waiting for your rescue. Since you are the monarch, you must not disappoint the people who support you." Ling Xiao said with a serious expression.

"Sect Master Ling must be worried. I will definitely pay attention to my own position." Ye Lvhongji said with a stern expression.

At this time, a roar came from outside the tent. Just from the sound, one could tell it was a good horse.

"Since I have everything prepared, I will not continue to waste time here. Hongji's leader, you should make the necessary arrangements yourself, although I will not save them without your help, just wait for me here." Ling Xiao smiled and said, then turned and walked out of the tent.

Looking at Ling Xiao's calm and composed back, Ye Lvhongji couldn't help but praise him in his heart. In the end, a hero comes out as a youth.

With the map, Ling Xiao could walk much more easily. After all, this was Chidan, not the Central Plains, and the desert was huge. From time to time, he would come across sandstorms that obstructed his field of vision and disturbed his direction.

As for Ye Lvhongji's side, not long after Ling Xiao left, he gave the order to march. There were two different directions, one was to go to the King Chu's lair and attack his capital, the other was to go to the vicinity of the Imperial City to station, to give pressure to the father and son duo in the Imperial City.

The large group advanced forward. Although they were imposing and imposing, in order to be able to lead properly, they had to be at a huge disadvantage in terms of speed, and they were heading to their destination for a prolonged battle, so they had the greatest amount of equipment and reserves. Even if they didn't waste any time, they could only move forward at an extremely slow speed.

However, Ling Xiao was different. When moving alone, his speed was naturally two times faster than when moving with the army.

After arriving at the destination, Ling Xiao did not immediately take action. Instead, he inquired around the nearby small city, discovering that although there were no King Chu armies attacking this place, everyone was extremely cautious and anxious. If they saw a stranger who entered the city, everyone would have been forced to flee.

This caused Ling Xiao, the stranger, to be isolated by the crowd.

Looking at this scene, Ling Xiao knew that he couldn't move alone anymore. He had to wait until Ye Lvhongji's army arrived before he could begin his plan, if not, with his group of unarmed, weak women and children, it would be very easy for them to isolate him. At that time, he would become a very eye-catching target.

Helpless, Ling Xiao could only give up on the thought of continuing to observe the small city. Moreover, this place had not been affected by the King Chu's influence yet, so he was unable to find out why.

After resting for a while, Ling Xiao rode his horse out of the small city and headed towards the unremarkable mountain behind Imperial City.

Although most of the land within Chidan was desert and plains, the Imperial City's location was still pretty good. There were oases all around, and the mountain peak that was occupied by the King Chu turned into a normal looking place.

Using the surrounding terrain and environment, Ling Xiao easily approached the foot of the mountain. After that, he tied his horse to a tree root and decided to take a hike up the mountain.

According to the intelligence provided by Ye Lvhongji, there were quite a few hidden guards on the mountain. Ling Xiao was really curious to find out to what extent these so-called elites were hidden.

Because it was a half-deserted mountain, it was very clear that there was not a single strand of vegetation in many areas, let alone a tree. If they swaggered up the mountain, they would be 100% immediately discovered.

Because of this, it was even more difficult to set up a secret sentry. Without any cover, it would take a very strong camouflage technique to set up a secret sentry. Furthermore, the hidden sentry had to have a very strong willpower to hide without moving.

Perhaps if it was someone else, they would have already been discovered and died without knowing why, but this time, it was Ling Xiao who came. With his perception, there was no way that he would be able to see through the spies, at least not these elites, because Ling Xiao had already gained something from his journey up the mountain.
