Chapter 379: Chapter 379 Decisive Battle at Jinling City

Hearing Zhongshan\'s proclamation, Mr. Corpse frowned slightly. He turned to look at Zhongshan and replied, "Yes."

Mr. Corpse, despite possessing mysterious abilities, was far from the level of a legion commander. Yet Zhongshan had elevated him. The true intentions behind this decision were known only to the cunning minds on the Bronze War Island.

"Prepare the troops and rest. We attack the City of Jinling in one month!" Zhongshan issued his orders once more.

"Yes!" Everyone immediately responded.

Though slightly puzzled, no one dared to defy Zhongshan\'s command.

"Why did Zhongshan suddenly stop? Because of this guy?" Haomeili glanced at Mr. Corpse, her expression cold.

Mr. Corpse remained impassive as he glanced back at Haomeili before turning away without a word.

Seeing Haomeili\'s blunt words, Zhongshan furrowed his brow but showed no signs of anger. He shook his head and said, "This is my decision!"

"Hmph! Stopping just like that, how dull!" Haomeili said directly before turning and leaving.

"Your Majesty, regarding the Yin Yue Dynasty..." Mr. Corpse suddenly turned to Zhongshan.

"No need for you to intervene," Zhongshan interrupted.

"Thank you!" Mr. Corpse nodded gratefully.

Yin Yue Dynasty, Jinling City, Six Paths Study.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~"

In anger, Six Paths slammed his palm down, shattering the desk in front of him. None of his attendants dared to speak up. One seemingly young man at the desk was trembling.

"The Commander of the Fourth Legion? Fine! Fine! Zhongshan, you act quickly!" Six Paths lamented bitterly.

The true origins of Mr. Corpse might be known only to Six Paths in this world. He had unwittingly allowed Mr. Corpse to defect. If he had known earlier, Six Paths would have abandoned the foundation of the Tianlang Island, leading a group of elites and troops into the land of Shenzhou. But now, it was too late.

Zhongshan must be defeated for Mr. Corpse to return.

Glancing around, the attendants, only Du Xiu dared to speak up, "Your Majesty, no matter what, the troops of Great Ru Dynasty have halted their advance. They won\'t invade for at least a month."

Six Paths raised his head, glared fiercely at Du Xiu, then took a deep breath to suppress his anger.

Seeing Six Paths\' expression, Du Xiu felt a sudden tightening in his heart.

"Qiyue!" Six Paths turned to the somewhat timid man beside the desk.

"Father Emperor!" The man immediately responded.

"I asked you to build a good relationship with Xiao Wu. How has your recent interaction with him been?" Six Paths asked in a deep voice.

"Very... very good!" Qiyue replied promptly.

"Hmm, you are the Crown Prince of Yin Yue Dynasty. If the Empress and I are absent, you will be in charge of mobilizing the three armies. Build a good relationship with Xiao Wu and prepare for the decisive battle in a month!" Six Paths exhaled deeply.

"Yes!" Qiyue responded promptly.

One month later.

"Set off!~~~~~~~~~~~~" On the Bronze War Island, Zhongshan shouted loudly.

"Roar!~~~~~~~~~~~~"

Five million troops roared in unison as they marched towards Jinling City.

Their objective: to capture Jinling City, overthrow the Yin Yue Dynasty, and thus dominate the Tianlang Island alone.

The army marched swiftly. Atop the Bronze Battle Island, everyone was full of vigor, preparing for the final showdown.

The Battle for Jinling City!

"Xuanwu, it\'s actually the Xuanwu Clan!" Beside the dragon throne, Yi Yan unexpectedly chuckled.

"So what if it\'s the Xuanwu Clan? The tide has already turned. Even with the Dragon Clan\'s assistance, it\'s impossible to reverse our fate!" Zhongshan said confidently.

"Roar~~~" The small golden dragon on Hao Mei\'s shoulder immediately protested.

Turning his head to glance at the small golden dragon, Zhongshan smiled, "It\'s just an analogy! It\'s not meant to belittle the Dragon Clan."

"But I\'m somewhat worried!" Princess Qianyou suddenly spoke up.

"Oh?" Zhongshan looked towards Qianyou.

"The Xuanwu Clan, Xianxian is of the Wolf Clan\'s origin bloodline, Xiaojin is of the Dragon Clan\'s origin bloodline, and the Xuanwu Clan, it\'s said that twenty years ago, a young Xuanwu with origin bloodline suddenly appeared." Princess Qianyou explained.

"Twenty years ago?" Zhongshan\'s pupils contracted.

"That young Xuanwu in Jinling City is only twenty years old?" Yi Yan furrowed his brows.

"What\'s wrong with being twenty?" Hao Mei asked.

"Being twenty means that this young Xuanwu is very weak, very weak indeed. But they still let him come out confidently, which implies there\'s a very powerful Xuanwu protecting him!" Yinglan pondered for a moment.

"How powerful is this \'very powerful\'?" Hao Mei showed a hint of disdain on her face.

"Don\'t worry, there\'s always a solution. Besides, the Wolf Generals won\'t interfere in our battlefield. Will the experts of the Xuanwu Clan join the battle? Each faction has its own rules." Zhongshan reassured them.

"Alright." Everyone nodded.

With Zhongshan\'s five million army marching for three days and resting briefly before another day\'s journey, they finally arrived at the outskirts of Jinling City. The ultimate battle was about to begin.

In the distance stood a massive city, not as grand as those on the mainland, but its walls towered five hundred meters high. There were no true dragons of imperial fortune circling above Jinling City, nor were there statues of gods as in the Heavenly Capital. However, having become an imperial capital, faint golden fortunes already surged over the imperial city.

With fortunes swirling faintly yet majestically, it exuded an imperial aura. The army of Zhongshan approached from the south of Jinling City, majestic and stirring up clouds of dust. With the Bronze Battle Island behind them, their momentum was unparalleled. They halted their advance from a considerable distance.

On the Bronze Battle Island, Zhongshan, dressed in battle dragon robes, sat coldly on the dragon throne, hands resting on its arms, eyes fixed coldly into the distance.

Atop the southern city tower of Jinling City in the distance.

Liu Dao, draped in dragon robes, stood proudly at the pinnacle of the tower. Several figures stood beside him, all of whom Zhongshan scanned one by one.

To Liu Dao\'s left was a figure cloaked in black, the Empress of Yin Yue Dynasty, whose practice of a certain secret art compelled her to always wear black robes. To his right was a young man holding a small Xuanwu, none other than the Crown Prince of Yin Yue Dynasty, Seven Nights!

Standing beside the Crown Prince was another man with fair complexion.

"Xuanyan, it\'s him!" Princess Qianyou\'s eyes widened.

"Oh?" Zhongshan looked puzzled.

"Beside the Crown Prince, that man, I know him. He once paid homage at the Ancient Holy Capital. A rare Emperor Realm powerhouse of the Xuanwu Clan, Xuanyan. How could it be him?" Princess Qianyou looked worried.

"Emperor Realm? Everyone was startled by Bao Er\'s words. Emperor Realm? Isn\'t that on par with the Great Xuan King? Comparable to Emperor Nalan\'s strength?

"Just like our Wolf Generals, we won\'t intervene, and Xuanyan probably won\'t either," Qingyun Wolf General said.

After Qingyun Wolf General finished speaking, everyone relaxed a bit.

However, the Wolf Generals remained very cautious and protective of Xianxian. They wouldn\'t intervene; their only purpose in joining Zhongshan\'s war was to protect Xianxian. After all, if Xianxian insisted on coming, they could only indulge her on their own territory. If you want to play on our turf, then play. We\'ll protect you.

As everyone watched, Xuanyan looked back at them as well.

As Xuan Yan looked at the Bronze Battle Island, initially he was dismissive. Previously, he had only known of one dynasty that sought to attack the Yin Yue Dynasty, and he held them in utter contempt. However, upon seeing the figures atop it, his brows furrowed.

Princess Qianyou? Princess of the Great Luo Heavenly Dynasty? Holding the position between heaven and earth? Is it her?

And there\'s the Little White Wolf, of the Wolf Clan\'s origin bloodline? The small golden dragon, of the Dragon Clan\'s origin bloodline? Who is the girl standing on the shoulder of the small golden dragon?

Xuanyan was not someone who shied away from trouble. After all, having cultivated to the Emperor Realm, he was a figure who could shake the land with a stomp anywhere on the divine land of Shenzhou. How could such a person be timid? Before coming here, Xuanyan had also scorned Liu Dao. However, upon seeing the people on the Bronze Battle Island, Xuanyan immediately became cautious.

Regardless of whether they would act or not, the dragon and wolf among them were off-limits.

Princess Qianyou? Xuanyan knew well the strength of the Great Luo Heavenly Dynasty\'s military might. Dealing with Princess Qianyou would also require caution regarding the Ancient Divine Techniques. As for the Little White Wolf, it was clear he was here just to watch the show. This was Tianlang Island, and although the Supreme Emperor of the Wolf Clan, Di Xuan Sha, had not come, no one dared provoke his wrath. That guy was as terrifying as the Ancient Divine Techniques, if not more so when enraged. As for the girl with the Dragon Clan\'s origin bloodline, Xuanyan didn\'t know her background, but he didn\'t want to make enemies with the Dragon Palace because of her.

A small dynasty actually presented four figures he needed to be wary of at once? Quite interesting! Xuanyan looked towards the Bronze Battle Island in the distance.

Why did Zhongshan halt the army?

It was because outside Jinling City, nearly a hundred gigantic brown tortoises had appeared, ten of them reaching lengths of fifty meters. Ancient and massive, each tortoise\'s back was covered with numerous bone spikes, looking ferocious.

The gigantic tortoises lay outside Jinling City, coldly staring towards the Bronze Battle Island in the distance.

"The Xuanwu Generals? They\'ve actually joined the battle?" Qingyun Wolf General exclaimed incredulously.

It was no wonder Qingyun Wolf General found it strange. These Xuanwu Generals, with their Emperor Realm strength, were like the Wolf Generals. Unless they were called back or held important positions in the court, they wouldn\'t simply participate in the wars of Yun Chao, even under a treaty. It\'s impossible!

"But they have indeed joined the battle. Just a month? Hmph, what did Liu Dao add to his forces? Turns out it\'s just some tortoises." Zhongshan sneered.

Zhongshan stared directly at Liu Dao in the distance. Liu Dao also stared back at Zhongshan.

Two emperors stood coldly opposed at a considerable distance.
