Chapter 2906 He's back!
He Chunhua was moved.
The Great Demon King? So the eldest son was fighting in two worlds simultaneously?
Even though he couldn't imagine how brutal these battles were, he was still terrified when he heard about them.
He Lingchuan was now a complete stranger to him, and General Hong's words about "twenty years as one day" made him feel that he had never truly understood his eldest son.
Is this still the spoiled brat he watched grow up?
Can a person change so completely, from the inside out?
General Hong glanced out the window: "I'm very busy. Is there anything else?"
The Panlong Army had just returned to the mortal world, the Earth Mother Plains had just ended a great battle, the Nine Nether Emperor was still seriously injured, and the enemies outside had not yet been completely wiped out... There were countless things waiting for her to arrange and handle. The only reason she stayed here to talk to He Chunhua a little longer was because there had been a subtle change in the relationship between him and He Lingchuan.
Her impatience was undisguised, so He Chunhua had no choice but to quickly say:
"There is one more thing, and it is the most important thing! Baling has once again colluded with the Heavenly Demon to plot against Shen Kingdom and Cang Yan, causing the deaths of Chuan'er and Yue'er. I have sworn to avenge this!"
His tone was mournful, and he directly targeted Baling.
And he used the word "again".
Baling has been a lackey of the Heavenly Demon for over two hundred years, and Panlong City has suffered greatly from it, right?
General Hong smiled slightly and directly exposed the truth: "Aren't they Zhao Huanrong and his nephew?"
No wonder He Lingchuan and her biological father had a bad relationship. In their very first conversation, this old man tried to use her and the Dafeng Army as pawns.
One moment he was still grieving the loss of his son, the next he was scheming against the entire Baling Kingdom.
Wasn't she a heroic spirit who had just returned to the mortal realm? How could she even know this? He Chunhua paused, but immediately continued, "The entire nation of Baling reveres the Holy Venerable Lingxu. Zhao Huanrong must have someone behind her. If she succeeds in harming my son this time, she can resolve the crisis in Baling. It's impossible for the King of Baling to be completely unaware!"
He wanted to add, "Back then, Baling also ravaged Panlong City in the same way," but that would be too deliberate.
Too much of a good thing can be bad.
General Hong fell silent, staring at He Chunhua with a half-smile.
This cause and effect is extremely complex, unlike the simple conclusion He Chunhua reached by omitting the beginning and end. If she hadn't been crouching in the large pot and witnessed the entire process, she would never have been able to understand the ins and outs.
But after all, this guy was He Lingchuan's biological father, so she saw through it but didn't say anything, giving him some face.
She didn't respond, and another unbearable silence filled the room.
Just as He Chunhua was thinking about how to smooth things over, General Hong finally spoke:
"Baling should bear some of the consequences. Are you going to send troops to punish him?"
"Exactly!" Having finally gotten a chance to be offered a ladder, He Chunhua nodded vigorously and immediately climbed up it. "Kunlonghu is not far from Balingdu City. I will have Ji Shiyi lead an army of 100,000 to attack Balingdu! General Hong, how about we join forces?"
He had to take the lead in expressing his opinion to show his determination, rather than pushing General Hong and Cang Yan to his side.
"Okay, we'll set off tomorrow morning."
General Hong was so decisive! He Chunhua was overjoyed and was about to reply when he saw General Hong turn around, open the door, and walk out.
Was this legendary war god simply aloof by nature, or did he harbor some resentment towards him? He Chunhua couldn't tell for the moment, but with General Hong and the Panlong Army joining the battle, Baling Kingdom was doomed this time!
General Hong walked out of the house and casually ordered, "All people move into Panlong City. I am leading 50,000 men to attack the capital of Baling Kingdom. We will depart tomorrow morning."
Someone readily agreed and went off to carry out the task.
The return of the Panlong people and soldiers to the human world along with the Great Square Pot was certainly a joyous occasion, but so many people needed a place to settle down. And just then, Panlong City came into being, though not in the Panlong Wasteland, but on the back of the Earth Mother.
People are very familiar with this place, and can even find their original homes in the city, even if the kitchenware is rotten and needs to be bought and furnished again.
Therefore, it was perfectly normal for the people and soldiers of Panlong to settle down on the Earth Mother Plain.
The little stone man popped out from the side, blinked twice, and offered no objection. This was all arranged between General Red and it inside the tower, and it couldn't find any reason to object.
Although adding so many residents is a considerable burden for it, and the Earth Mother prefers quiet, from another perspective, having such a powerful army permanently stationed on the plains is more beneficial than harmful, and the safety factor will increase dramatically. If the plains already had such a garrison, how could the Heavenly Demon's ambush and invasion have succeeded this time?
Upon receiving the order, Hu Min rubbed his hands together repeatedly: "We're going to deal with Baling tomorrow?"
There's a deep-seated blood feud between the people of Panlong and Baling. Don't talk to him about grudges from two hundred years ago being forgotten or that the sins of the past shouldn't be visited upon future generations. In his eyes, hatred is hatred. Since Baling is still serving the Heavenly Demons, then don't blame them for being ruthless!
It's time to settle old scores from two hundred years ago.
Xu Shichu nodded: "The general must have considered that the Earth Mother will need to rest in the Dragon-Trapping Cave for many more days. In the meantime, we have nothing to do anyway."
The door panel hoisted the axe onto his shoulder: "Why don't we just wipe out Baling?"
The people of Baling in this era seem quite incompetent, far inferior to their ancestors.
Why would the door panel know? It's simple: these Baling people were actually fighting a close battle with the Shen army.
Upon hearing this, the newly arrived Immortal Mingke instinctively gave a wry smile. What kind of monsters were those 100,000 banners that the Emperor summoned from the Netherworld?!
At that moment, a white shadow suddenly descended from the sky; it was the Lushan bird, the White-hatted Guest, returning from his aerial patrol.
“Another large army, numbering over 40,000, is approaching from the northeast of Kunlonghu.”
Immortal Mingke frowned: "Another army has arrived? Kunlong Valley has been quite lively lately."
This place is either sparsely populated or a gathering place for various forces.
Ji Shiyi immediately replied, "It must be the Baling Sect's army coming to support the Heavenly Demon!"
The great demons like Jialoutian have already been beheaded, but the Baling Army probably doesn't know yet.
He said bitterly, "The Heavenly Demon and the Heavenly Palace plotted against the Nine Nether Emperor. Baling and Zhao Shuo were accomplices, endangering the lives of our country's Crown Prince and Grandson!"
"Ba Ling has become an accomplice of the Heavenly Demon, and is already courting death." Suddenly, a voice rang out, echoing throughout the city, "He must be eliminated!"
Ji Shiyi turned his head at the sound and saw a man standing outside the pagoda gate, clad in black and gold armor, leaning on a sword. A strong wind blew up his scarlet cloak, making it flutter loudly.
The once bustling South Gate Square suddenly fell silent.
The Red General leaned against the tower gate behind him, arms crossed and turned to the side.
This man's appearance bore a resemblance to Prince Shen, He Chunhua. When his gaze swept over, even Ji Shiyi, a man who had killed countless people, felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively wanted to lower his head.
Compared to the Prince of Shen, he had more of an imperial bearing.
Could this person be...?
The moment his question arose, he heard a flurry of people kneeling down around him, including the seemingly otherworldly Xu Shichu and the immortal Ming Ke.
In the open South Gate Square, thousands of people faced the same direction, and the same person knelt down in unison, saying in unison:
"Welcome back to the mortal realm, Your Majesty!"
The sound shook the heavens, and a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, illuminating the surrounding area.
A dialogue between heaven and man.
