Chapter 143 Half Moon (7)

Surrounded by demon corpses and trapped in a desperate situation, Asagao swung back and forth, clutching her two flying claws, muttering, "Excuse me! Excuse me! Please be considerate of each other! Please don't eat me, everyone!"

Unfortunately, the demon corpse couldn't understand her speech and reached out to grab her flying claw.

The corpse demon lifted the person up in front of it, and just as it was about to swallow her whole, Asagao quickly untied the rope and jumped down.

Rolling to the ground, Asagao quickly escaped from their feet with her sword in hand.

One giant animal after another tried to trample him flat, and Asagao practically tumbled and crawled forward.

"Help! It would be better if everyone died, why are you getting so arrogant! This is really ugly!"

Asagao felt like she hadn't run for very long when she suddenly bumped into a caterpillar, bounced back instantly, and fell flat on her backside.

She quickly turned around to run around, but found herself surrounded, which frightened her so much that she retreated repeatedly.

"Brothers, why don't you let me go? I'll burn paper money for you in the future!"

Asagao's hand gripping the sword trembled slightly. As the light above her head gradually disappeared, her heart was filled with despair.

She didn't want to die here; her brothers were still waiting for her.

She took out a bow and arrow from her storage bag and aimed it at the top of the caterpillar's head. Before she could even fire, two demon corpses around her suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Before she could even react, she was picked up in a princess carry.

"Miss Asagao, why are you here alone? It's dangerous!"

It's Liang Qi!

Even though Asagao already knew the truth from Wenli, she still couldn't help but feel a chill when she saw Liang Qi.

Liang Qi is indeed here! She was just a general guarding Danli, but now the Feather Spirit Army has been transferred here, which means that the Liang family also knows that they will win this half-month battle.

The Liang family also wanted a share of the profits.

Asagao suppressed her emotions; her immediate priority was to stop General Pei and his men.

Liang Tiantian led her people to fly on their swords and observe the surrounding situation. Unexpectedly, she saw a small figure running around among the group of demon corpses in the distance.

But how could she know that they had people on their side?

Asagao patted Liang Qi's arm, signaling her to let her down.

"Liang Qi, the demon hunter Wen Li, she, she..."

"Has she gotten into trouble again?"

Asagao nodded repeatedly, tugging at Liang Qi's sleeve and saying, "She said if you don't go, she'll just run away, ruining our plan! But we've already set up the formation halfway, I can't just let her get away!"

"She said she wants you to go and replace her, or she'll run away immediately. And now she's been cursing at people, which is throwing our morale into disarray!"

"After all, you, General Liang, are her cousin. You have to keep an eye on her. Don't let such a rotten apple spoil the Wen family and implicate your aunt."

Liang Tiantian frowned and said, "I know, I'll go over and deal with her."

She had said long ago that although Wen Li was talented, she was completely uncontrollable, and letting her participate would easily lead to accidents, but who knew that His Highness would not change her.

Liang Tiantian wasn't surprised at all by this sudden outburst. She always only cared about herself and never concerned herself with the life or death of others.

"I'll send someone to take you to the camp. You should rest well. I'll handle Wen Li's situation."

Asagao quickly grabbed her hand and said, "No need, I have something to discuss with General Pei right now."

"Liang Qi, hurry, have someone take me to General Pei. I need to go around Yueban, which will take a lot of time."

Liang Tiantian: "What do you want with Pei Kuang?"

Chaoyan looked at her without saying a word, and Liang Tiantian had no choice but to send someone to take Chaoyan there.

She gave a few instructions to the others, cursed Wen Li in her heart, and flew towards Yueban.

Chaoyan patted the Feather Spirit Army general in front of her: "Hurry up and go! Didn't your general say that you have to listen to me now?"

The general who was riding a sword scoffed, "A piece of trash with no spiritual roots dares to order me around. You'd better behave yourself, or I'll throw you off right now."

"you!"

Asagao looked at the gloomy sky and thought about the next batch of northern cavalry entering the city, she could only swallow her anger.

Those Feather Spirit Army people are so annoying!

It would be best if all of them lost their spiritual roots one day, then they would know who the grandfather and who the grandson are!

*

Above the city of Crescent Moon, layers of dark clouds had gathered, plunging the entire city into darkness. For a moment, it was impossible to distinguish between day and night.

The golden sunlight shone on the soldiers' faces, bathing the desolate and barren land in golden light.

it's time.

Pei Kuang looked at the map that had just been delivered to him, which showed the route that Dai Qin had planned. The circled area should be the Ghost King's hiding place.

Pei Kuang handed the map to his deputy, Lin Hu took it, split it into several pieces, and distributed them to the generals of the other battalions.

Pei Kuang pulled on the horse's reins, turning towards the ten thousand soldiers behind him.

"Once we enter the city, choose the path with fewer demons and monsters, and go to relieve the previous batch of brothers as quickly as possible, understand?"

"understand!"

At this moment, a soldier asked, "General Pei, do we... do we have a chance to get out alive?"

Pei Kuang looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old. He remembered her; she had exceptional talent for cultivation and was originally supposed to join the Feather Spirit Army. However, he had personally visited her parents under the guise of His Highness the Crown Prince, begging them to let him bring such a young child from home to the battlefield.

The Northern Desert Iron Cavalry is a suicide squad; who would dare let their child go in?

But look at how many children he has swindled over the years by using the name of His Highness the Crown Prince.

"You can survive! As long as you hold out for this day, you can escape from the Danli direction!"

"Perhaps some people have already escaped from this city."

The cultivators in the crowd looked at each other and encouraged one another, while those without spiritual roots did not look too good.

As the sun rose higher, Pei Kuang glanced at Lin Hu, nodded, and led his horse to the front.

"Follow me into the Moonlit Valley, and reclaim our land!"

"Charge into the Moonlit Palace and reclaim our land! Charge into the Moonlit Palace and reclaim our homeland!"

Lin Hu gripped his sword, and with a powerful stride, his horse galloped off.

"drive!"

The soldiers behind him followed closely.

"Wait! Wait a minute!"

Upon hearing the sound, Lin Hu immediately tightened the reins and then raised his hand: "Stop!"

The soldiers underground also recognized Asagao: "It's Asagao! It's General Asagao!"

"Didn't she go inside? How come she's here?"

"Of course, General Asagao must have escaped!"

"But we haven't gone in yet!"

"Yes? Could it be..."

Seeing that everyone had stopped, Asagao finally felt relieved.

She had just arrived at the encampment, only to find out that they had already set off and were waiting outside the city.

Asagao quickly grabbed the Feather Spirit Army soldier and had him fly towards the moon. Luckily, they made it in time.

Before the sword even hit the ground, Chaoyan jumped down and quickly ran to Pei Kuang, kneeling on one knee.

"General! I have something important to report."

Pei Kuang looked down at her and said, "What is it? Speak."

Asagao noticed the scrutinizing and probing gazes around her, stood up and walked up to Pei Kuang.

Pei Kuang leaned down slightly and heard Chao Yan say, "Opening the Gate to the Underworld will cost the lives of my 70,000 Iron Cavalry. The last batch of soldiers was almost completely wiped out, and no one escaped. And behind Moon Half City, there are still a large number of Feather Spirit Army troops stationed."

After Chaoyan finished speaking, she looked at Pei Kuang with a nervous expression, but he remained calm.

"I know."

The unexpected answer left Asagao bewildered, but she quickly came to her senses.

"You knew? You knew all along? Then how..."

Pei Kuang turned his head and stared intently at Chao Yan, lowering his voice to make sure no one else could hear him.

"We are the most suitable candidates, but how did you come to that conclusion?"

Asagao replied irrelevantly, "General, we can't enter the city without knowing the situation! Miss Wen should already be with His Highness, and His Highness might issue an order to evacuate soon. So we can't go and die."

"His Highness would never agree to that. Alright, you must be tired. Go back to your camp and get some rest."

After speaking, Pei Kuang sat up straight and ordered the two people behind him, "Someone, escort Vice General Chaoyan back to camp to rest."

Someone helped Asagao up and pulled her backward, but Asagao just stood there blankly as they pulled her.

She should have guessed it long ago; General Pei couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

General Pei knew, Liang Qi knew, and the Feather Spirit Army knew as well.

No, there's more!

Zhao Sicheng is the only son of the Zhao family. He has always lived in the capital and is protected by countless secret guards. How could the Zhao family possibly let him go to the battlefield?

Wen Mingzhu was truly the apple of the Wen family's eye; she probably hadn't even seen many monsters. Wen Zhi'en was the kind of person who wouldn't act without a reason; he usually maintained a conservative and wait-and-see attitude towards major battles, but this time he actually sent his daughter along.

This is clearly an attempt to climb to the top by stepping on them.

Everyone knows, but they are the ones who don't!

She heard Pei Kuang say to the others, "The plan is going very smoothly. Chao Yan said that many even-numbered battalions of soldiers have already escaped, leaving only odd-numbered battalions inside to wait for us. They can escape as soon as we enter the city."

"Great!"

"Really? How many people are still alive?"

"We can get out of here alive too!"

The soldiers' morale soared, and they encouraged each other, becoming excited once again.

Only Chaoyan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, trembling with anger. She was angry at Pei Kuang's deception, but even more so at his arrogance.

Many of the generals of the Northern Desert Cavalry, including her, had followed him for so many years, yet he did not trust them.

She shoved the hand of the person next to her aside and roared at the man on horseback, "Pei Kuang! You can't lie to them like this!"

"You can't underestimate us like that!"

Pei Kuang roared, "Asagao!"

Chaoyan ignored her and shouted, "Listen up, everyone! This Soul-Repelling Array is not so easy to set up. The key to opening the Gate of the Underworld is to offer 70,000 heroic souls as sacrifices within seven days! And we are the 70,000 heroic souls chosen!"
