Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1603 - 1573: Luo Feng Gorge

Yunjing City.

Since the outbreak of large-scale war in the realm battlefield six months ago, the armies of the Long-Life Heavenly Realm and the Blissful Heaven Realm advanced with unstoppable force, sweeping through the realm battlefield.

They almost plundered all the main cities held by the Unharmed Heaven Realm in the battlefield. Only Xuangguang City with Zhen Tian Legion stationed there, Nanning City with the Supreme Sect’s elite Supreme Legion, Beihuang City and Tianming City guarded by the God Slayer Sect and Feather Transformation Sect remain under Unharmed Heaven Realm’s control.

Yunjing City is not far from Xuangguang City.

This is a mandatory passage for the Blissful Heaven Realm’s army to reach Xuangguang City and also a crucial stronghold for Xuangguang City to reach Wuyuan City.

After Blissful Heaven Realm occupied Yunjing City, they stationed the Eighteenth Legion here and sent three masters of the Ninth Layer of the Saint King Realm to guard it.

It is both to cut off the path from Xuangguang City to Wuyuan City and to monitor the Sky Suppressing King and his Zhen Tian Legion.

As soon as the Sky Suppressing King and the Zhen Tian Legion make any move, they will receive information immediately.

Huo Changtian, one of the three Saint Kings stationed at Yunjing City, has reached the Ninth Peak of the Saint King Realm and is also the commander of the Eighteenth Legion.

At this moment.

Within the city lord’s mansion where Huo Changtian resided, the other two Ninth Layer Saint King experts, Ding Zhonghe and Zhou Ziwen, were gathered together.

Zhou Ziwen said in a deep voice, "Old Huo, there’s news from the front that the Zhen Tian Legion at Xuangguang City is making a big move."

"Oh?"

Huo Changtian squinted his eyes, lazily leaning on his wide and comfortable chair, playing with the wine cup in his hand, "What about that old guy, the Sky Suppressing King? Has he returned from the Qingtian Tower?"

"Not at all!"

Zhou Ziwen had a relaxed expression, almost smiling, "According to the spy’s information, that old guy is still in the Qingtian Tower. This time, it’s the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Tao Pavilion, Xiao Yi, causing trouble. It’s said he divided the Zhen Tian Legion into ten direct routes..."

"Ten routes?"

Huo Changtian was taken aback.

Ding Zhonghe also raised an eyebrow: "Interesting, the Zhen Tian Legion is strong, but if it’s really split into ten routes, what waves could it make? Moreover, wouldn’t Xuangguang City become thoroughly vulnerable? Old Huo, this is an opportunity for us, why not take advantage of Xuangguang City’s vulnerability and capture it?"

Huo Changtian shook his head, dousing Ding Zhonghe’s fiery enthusiasm with a bucket of cold water: "The old guy, the Sky Suppressing King, is still in Qingtian Tower. Even if he’s been quiet, if something really happens to Xuangguang City, he will definitely rush back immediately."

Ding Zhonghe opened his mouth, wanting to say that even if the Zhen Tian Legion is dispatched, a single Sky Suppressing King would be unable to support it alone.

But thinking of the terrifying battle records of the Sky Suppressing King in the past, he smiled bitterly in resignation.

Huo Changtian narrowed his eyes, gently rubbing his chin with his fingers, revealing a playful expression: "Although we cannot touch Xuangguang City, we cannot let go of the piece of fat that is the Zhen Tian Legion. If they had continued hiding in Xuangguang City, it would be fine, but now that they dare split into ten routes, I’d regret for a lifetime if I don’t swallow this piece of fat."

Ding Zhonghe said in a deep voice, "Even if the ten camps of the Zhen Tian Legion are separated, an individual camp is not weak. Which one should we target?"

"We don’t have to choose a target!"

Zhou Ziwen said with a strange expression, "According to the message from the spy, that Saint Heir from the Heavenly Tao Pavilion is leading the Judgment Camp towards our Yunjing City!"

"Hmm? Coming for us?"

"How much does he look down on us? This is too much of an insult!"

Huo Changtian snorted coldly, his expression turning sinister: "Then let’s make sure they don’t come back!" He looked at Ding Zhonghe, "Old Ding, gather your men immediately and prepare for battle!"

"Yes!"

Ding Zhonghe nodded solemnly, just about to get up and leave, when Zhou Ziwen stopped him: "Wait a moment!"

"Hmm?"

"Old Zhou, do you have any thoughts?" Huo Changtian asked.

The three of them had worked together for many years and were extremely familiar with each other, with Zhou Ziwen often acting as the brains of their trio.

Zhou Ziwen squinted and said, "Since we know their target is our Yunjing City, why not take the initiative?"

"You mean an ambush?" Huo Changtian’s eyes lit up. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Zhou Ziwen nodded, wisdom gleaming in his eyes as if penetrating the human heart: "Not far from our Yunjing City is Luo Feng Gorge, which they must pass through to reach us. If we station a force on both sides in ambush, along with the Heavenly-Bound Earthly-Trapped Great Formation, we can deliver a decisive blow!"

"Luo Feng Gorge?"

"That indeed is a highly suitable place for an ambush. Old Ding, take a hundred thousand troops to Luo Feng Gorge and set up an ambush. Also, bring Master Wu Chengrong to arrange the Heavenly-Bound Earthly-Trapped Great Formation there." Huo Changtian said.

Zhou Ziwen added, "Old Ding, the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Tao Pavilion is not ordinary, and Tan Huajian of the Judgment Camp is also present. In this ambush, we seek not to annihilate them but rather to withdraw once successful. Be wary of their desperate counterattacks!"

"Don’t worry!"

Ding Zhonghe chuckled, stood up tall, and headed towards the door.

"Old Ding..."

Zhou Ziwen called out abruptly.

"Hmm?"

Ding Zhonghe paused, turned back with a puzzled look at Zhou Ziwen, "What is it?"

Huo Changtian also looked at him in confusion.

Zhou Ziwen hesitated, and watching Ding Zhonghe’s departing figure, he called out again impulsively. Under the two’s confused gazes, Zhou Ziwen said in a deep voice, "Be safe!"

"Hahaha, I thought you were going to say something else! Don’t worry, just wait here for me to come back, and we’ll drink our victory wine together!" Ding Zhonghe laughed heartily and left.

Zhou Ziwen stared blankly at the doorway.

Huo Changtian patted his shoulder and laughed, "Don’t worry, do you still not trust Old Ding’s abilities? Let’s think about how we can swallow that Judgment Camp in one fell swoop after Old Ding succeeds in ambushing at Luo Feng Gorge!"

"Indeed!"

Zhou Ziwen also relaxed into a smile, "You’re right, after all, it’s just a young junior, nothing to worry about!"

"That’s the spirit! I’ve heard that the Saint Heir of Heavenly Tao Pavilion is quite arrogant, and many within the clan are interested in him. I also heard a core True Disciple from Extreme Bliss Heavenly Palace offered five million realm stones to buy him as a slave. If Old Ding captures him alive, we’ll be rich!" Huo Changtian said with a smiled, utterly at ease.

"Five million realm stones?"

Zhou Ziwen’s eyes shone, as realm stones are hard currency in their Blissful Heaven Realm, and even an ordinary Saint King weapon is worth tens of thousands of realm stones.

A offer of five million realm stones is an absolute fortune!

Even the peak of a Saint King realm would be tempted!

"We definitely need to plan carefully to capture Xiao Yi alive..." Zhou Ziwen said in a deep voice.

...

On the road from Xuangguang City to Yunjing City,

A large contingent was rapidly marching towards Yunjing City.

Before long,

They stopped.

In the crowd, wearing golden armor, Tan Huajian said in a deep voice, "Saint Heir, just ahead is Luo Feng Gorge. Once we pass Luo Feng Gorge, Yunjing City is not far! This gorge is a necessary pass to Yunjing City and might have an ambush. Should we send scouts to investigate?"

"No need!"

Xiao Yi smiled faintly, "I said I would capture Yunjing City by myself, wait here while I scout this Luo Feng Gorge!"

Before the words fell.

Xiao Yi turned into a stream of light, rushing towards the Luo Feng Gorge shrouded in mist ahead...
