Chapter 473: Three Generals' Predicament

Grain Route.

A stone sphere suddenly emerged from the ground, cackling loudly: "You brats of the Two Stakes Nation, your Lord Old Man in the Stone has arrived, hahaha."

"Run! It's Old Monster in the Stone!""He's attacking the grain transport team again!""You go on, I will stop him." The leader of the grain transport team was a Nascent Soul cultivator, who spurred his horse to meet Old Monster in the Stone.

The two clashed in a dazzling display, golden fire surging and burning a large expanse of forest.

Old Monster in the Stone's demonic might was formidable. The Nascent Soul cultivator lost his mount and was severely wounded but refused to retreat, fully demonstrating the military might of the Two Stakes Nation. He fought on until reinforcements arrived.

Old Monster in the Stone said: "So it's Tang Yan? A mere early Nascent Soul with such combat prowess, not bad, I'll remember you."

After uttering these words of mutual respect, Old Monster in the Stone retreated underground, voluntarily withdrawing.

His Earth遁术 (遁术 - escape technique) was exceedingly potent. The Nascent Soul cultivators who arrived as reinforcements could only gaze upon the vast mountainous terrain with helpless sighs.

Thus, by the time of the second grain and stipend distribution, Mu Lan still had not received any supplies.

"Good, good, good!" Mu Lan laughed in extreme anger, her eyes filled with mockery.

And this time, to prevent her from causing a scene at the military grain depot, Sun Gan, Shuang Jing, and others were all present.

The former, with a cold countenance, reprimanded Mu Lan, stating that as a soldier, she must obey military rules and follow orders, speaking with great righteousness.

The latter, with a smile on his face, spoke gently and persuasively, asking Mu Lan to endure a little longer, to understand the nation's difficulties. As the sole heir of General Mu's mansion, she should set an example and show a willingness to sacrifice.

Mu Lan, being only at the Golden Core stage, with most of her combat strength relying on the Crimson Flower Camp, was no match for the Nascent Soul level Sun Gan and Shuang Jing. She could only grit her teeth, clench her fists, and rush out of the city.

Bearing deep guilt, she returned to the Crimson Flower Camp, only to see the soldiers throughout the camp overjoyed.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that a large batch of grain and stipends had been delivered.

"Where did this military stipend come from?" Mu Lan was both surprised and curious. Upon asking, she learned it was the doing of the Three Generals Camp.

"Nonsense, Liu, Guan, and Zhang of the Three Generals Camp are penniless. Who else could it be? It can only be Young Master Ning." Zhang Zhongyi transmitted his divine sense to Mu Lan.

"Ning Zhuo—" Mu Lan naturally knew the backgrounds of Liu, Guan, and Zhang, and knew that Zhang Zhongyi's words were true.

Her face involuntarily showed a complex expression, and she felt bewildered: "Since he won't cultivate jointly with me, why would he treat me like this?"

Zhang Zhongyi sighed: "Young Master Ning Zhuo has already told me the reason, it's General Liu Er."

"He fell in love with General Mu at first sight. At this time, he cannot bear to see the General in distress and the Crimson Flower Camp in a dangerous situation, so he generously extended a helping hand."

Mu Lan immediately frowned: "This half-human half-demon's improper intentions are still alive, it's truly loathsome!"

Zhang Zhongyi quickly advised: "General, we must still prioritize the overall situation. This batch of military supplies came at a crucial time, it's the lifeline for everyone in our Crimson Flower Camp. If you, because of personal likes and dislikes, implicate the entire army again—"

Mu Lan sighed deeply: "Alas! Uncle Zhang, rest assured, how could I be so thoughtless?"

The Golden Halberd Army was stationed within the city of Azure Forest Immortal City.

General's Mansion.

A teacup was violently smashed onto the floor, instantly shattering into pieces.

Sun Gan, who had thrown the teacup, was practically fuming with rage: "What is this Liu Er thinking?"

"A mere half-human half-demon, and he dares to covet the seal of the Supreme General? He simply doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

"What 'fell in love with Mu Lan at first sight'? Who can he fool with that?"

"Utterly shameless!"

It was one thing for Shuang Jing to become his competitor.

Sun Gan acknowledged Shuang Jing's identity and status, and recognized the latter as a formidable opponent.

But what was this Liu Er?

A mere mixed-blood, and he dares to participate in the competition!?

Sun Gan felt he had been insulted.

Just as he was contemplating how to retaliate against Liu Er, a subordinate reported that Lord Shuang Jing, the commander of the White Jade Camp, had personally come to visit.

Sun Gan was slightly taken aback, then immediately understood that Shuang Jing must also have learned the news that the Three Generals Camp had intervened and resolved the predicament of the Crimson Flower Camp.

"Invite him to the reception hall." Sun Gan ordered, and immediately tidied his attire.

Soon, he moved to the reception hall and met Shuang Jing.

Shuang Jing wore a smile, but his tone was like ice: "General Sun, I have come this time without wasting words, it is for the Three Generals Camp."

"I usually see Liu Er with the appearance of an honest man, but I didn't expect him to be so sinister and cunning. He actually wants to steal the seal of the Supreme General right before both our eyes!"

"He, a half-human half-demon, an outsider, actually dares to have designs on Mu Lan. He is simply foolish to the extreme."

"You and I should join forces and give him and the Three Generals Camp a good lesson, let him know that foolishness comes at a price!"

Sun Gan did not hesitate, immediately agreeing: "Agreed!"

Thus, the two parties formed a private alliance.

That afternoon.

The cultivators of the Three Generals Camp who had entered the city to make purchases and slightly replenish military supplies were robbed.

Not only were the purchased goods lost, but three lives were also lost.

Liu Er was enraged upon hearing this, and immediately went to the Immortal City to seek the City Lord and apprehend the true culprits.

In the evening, the Golden Halberd Army suddenly marched out of the city for training, and happened to brush past the marching team of the Three Generals Camp who were also out for training. "What are you looking at?"

"Looking at you, so what!?"

"You little punk! Get him!"

A clash began with a childish opening.

Zhang Hei tried his best to maintain order.

A Golden Core general from the Golden Halberd Army insulted him and his entire family.

Zhang Hei was furious, picked up his Black Serpent Spear, and launched an attack.

The Golden Core general clashed with Zhang Hei, initially evenly matched. As Zhang Hei gradually increased his strength, he suddenly withdrew his hand,

Allowing the Black Serpent Spear to pierce through his body.

Zhang Hei was stunned.

The other Golden Core cultivators of the Golden Halberd Army seized the opportunity to rescue their severely wounded comrade.

Zhang Hei realized something was amiss. Just as he was about to speak, Sun Gan suddenly appeared and directly attacked.

He was of the Nascent Soul level, and the Golden Halberd Army was well-trained and well-equipped, incomparable to Zhang Hei and the Three Generals Camp. Although Zhang Hei resisted with all his might, the outcome was already decided from the start.

Zhang Hei was apprehended by Sun Gan.

After the Golden Halberd Army's plot succeeded, they immediately returned to the city.

Three Generals Camp.

"What?!" Guan Hong's face turned red with anger upon hearing the soldiers who had fled back to the camp weeping and hearing that his third brother, Zhang Hei, was captured.

He instinctively stood up and took out his Blood Dragon Blade.

But after stepping out of the tent, he forced himself to calm down: "This is bad!"

"At this time, Big Brother is in the City Lord's Mansion, and Third Brother has already been imprisoned by Sun Gan. If I go in anger, I will certainly not be Sun Gan's opponent, and the outcome is grim. I'm afraid I will implicate Big Brother, making him have one more person to rescue in the future."

"Endure for now, wait—"

The next moment, a white light burst forth, almost blinding Guan Hong.

An assassin!

Guan Hong instinctively blocked.

His right arm was pierced, and a large piece of flesh was instantly cut off, exposing the pale arm bone.

Blood Dragon Blade roared!

The next moment, blood light filled the sky.

The assassin let out a muffled groan. After being hit, he disappeared.

Leaving Guan Hong half-kneeling on the ground, propping himself up with the Blood Dragon Blade, his face filled with shock and anger.

"Despicable!"

"These guys—"

"Bad!"

"I was attacked here, what about the Strategist?"
