Jun Changxiao could have completely subdued Bai Ruihu, but still chose to kill him.
The reason for doing this was to make the Zhenyang Commandery governor understand that Qingyang Commandery couldn’t be annexed so easily.
Not convinced?
Continue sending troops.
Our Tiegu Sect will definitely fight to the end!
With his field artillery and Scatter Beans into Soldiers Qiankun Bag, Sect Leader Jun now had complete confidence and absolutely no fear of secular warfare.
If developing the sect weren’t his primary focus, he’d very likely lead troops to counter-attack Zhenyang Commandery.
Sect Leader Jun’s little schemes were clicking away beautifully.
However, after returning to the sect, Tao Yuan continued confining himself to his room.
This showed that being captured, losing his memories, and joining Tiegu Sect had become a knot in his heart that he couldn’t untangle.
“Creak.”
The door opened.
Jun Changxiao walked in, sat in a chair, crossed his legs and said, “Zhenyang Commandery sent three hundred thousand troops to attack Qingyang City.”
Tao Yuan, facing the wall, remained expressionless.
“The result.”
Jun Changxiao said, “The commanding marshal Bai Ruihu was executed by this Seat, his head has been sent to Zhenyang Commandery, and the White Tiger Legion no longer exists.”
The back-turned Tao Yuan’s form trembled slightly.
After a moment, he released a deep sigh, though his eyes showed little shock.
Over these three months, he’d been living continuously at Tiegu Sect. He not only knew the Wolf Cavalry were brave and skilled in battle, but had also witnessed the sect leader scatter beans to create soldiers.
With such formidable combat power, if deployed on the battlefield, they’d be absolutely unstoppable.
Moreover.
Hall Master Xue was extremely proficient in military tactics.
Though Bai Ruihu’s White Tiger Legion numbered three hundred thousand, attacking the city, they definitely couldn’t gain the advantage.
Jun Changxiao said, “This Seat isn’t showing off to you, but telling you that our Tiegu Sect can defeat such a Zhenyang Commandery army corps—what kind of opponent can we not overcome?”
“……” Tao Yuan remained silent.
Jun Changxiao continued, “The door has always been open. You can leave now—this Seat won’t force anyone.”
Tao Yuan’s eyes filled with complex emotions.
Yes.
The Tiegu Sect’s door had always been open. He could leave without hesitation, but he chose to confine himself in this room—that showed his heart was struggling internally.
These past days.
Tao Yuan admired Xue Rengui immensely and longed to command the Wolf Cavalry!
He didn’t want to leave. He wanted to stay.
But the dignity of being a military man was restraining him, preventing him from making a decision!
Jun Changxiao stood up, looked out the window, and said with soaring heroism, “Stay, follow this Seat to conquer the world, sweep across all eight directions, and establish immortal achievements.”
Tao Yuan’s expression froze, his eyes gradually filling with intense battle intent.
“Your trained soldiers—this Seat has brought them.”
Jun Changxiao said, “They can continue to fight under your command. In the future, the Xingyun Continent’s position of famous general will certainly include you, Tao Yuan.”
“No.”
He said resolutely, “It should resound through the firmament as the—God of War!”
Sect Leader Jun’s skill at persuasion was no joke.
Even Xue Rengui, standing outside, hearing those four words “God of War,” despite having passed the age of hot-bloodedness, was thoroughly ignited once more.
People without dreams.
What difference is there between them and authors who don’t update regularly!
Therefore, Tao Yuan, who’d been caught in a dilemma, suddenly stood up, then turned and gave Jun Changxiao a military salute, his voice like a great bell saying, “Disciple Tao Yuan is willing to follow Sect Leader to conquer the world and establish immortal achievements!”
“Ding! Congratulations Host on completing hidden quest [Bewitching Hearts], gained 1000 contribution points.”
