"Sir, this Vermilion Bird City... it’s tough to handle..."

Behind the Three-Eyed God General was a man wearing a blue mask, known among the Divine General’s subordinates as Mr. Tang, the strategist by the Three-Eyed God General’s side.

"Hmm..." For once, a rare solemn expression appeared on the face of the Three-Eyed God General.

City of Four Spirits, hiding in three eras of reincarnation, and within it, countless fire essence great demons have been nurtured, the terrifying force of fire elements can be sensed even outside the city.

It is estimated that they are all being secretly controlled by the Spirit of Vermilion Bird, used to gather fire elements to restore its true form.

To attack such a city head-on, at least half of the forces would be lost. Any calculations made in the midst of it could lead to complete annihilation of the army.

"Mr. Tang, do you think there will be any unexpected events this time?"

"From the intelligence, there shouldn’t be any.

.." Mr. Tang said faintly, "The forces of the Buddha Kingdom and the Demon Realm are both preoccupied with their own affairs, and they can’t reach here. The Demon Realm needs to snatch resources in the North immediately, and the Buddha Kingdom also needs to consolidate Yundu, so it’s unlikely they would take the risk to ambush us here.

The only potential threat might be Chen Qing’s clone, but his troops are being monitored by the Thousand-eyed Divine General, so there should be no opportunity. "

"If that’s the case... we’ll attack the city tomorrow!" declared the Three-Eyed God General, who was known for his decisiveness.

Vermilion Bird City is rich in resources, with an abundance of pure fire essence. Once it falls into our hands, and we use Heaven’s Court’s Golden Crow Great Formation to fortify the Southern Wilderness, the rear will be completely secure, creating an almost invincible position.

In what might be the last campaign, taking the initiative is extremely important.

Mr. Qingyi nodded slightly, but when he looked at the Three-Eyed God General, a trace of inexplicable complexity flashed in his eyes; however, that expression vanished quickly. As the war drums sounded, the entire Vermilion Bird City was instantly in upheaval!

--------------------------------------

"Boss, it seems like a battle might break out over there. Are we really just going to stand here and watch?"

Atop a high point in a valley hundreds of miles away, a young officer beside the Kui Wood Wolf could not help but ask, observing the massive flames rising in the distance.

The intense scent of fire essence made his eyes covet, as elemental essences in later stages are much more valuable than Bai Yu.

If he could get his hands on some, he might even be able to create an avatar and earn a position as a Divine General.

"What else can we do?" Kui Wood Wolf sneered, "The Three-Eyed God General and we have never been on the same side. Being given some leftovers is as good as it gets. You want to compete with his subordinates for credit?"

"Hehe..." The other man scratched his head and laughed foolishly.

"There’s no need to grieve. That Vermilion Bird City isn’t so easily taken," Kui Wood Wolf said coldly, watching the flames in the distance, "That was once the City of Four Spirits. Back when it suppressed Vermilion Bird, how many of us died? Even half of the Venerable Level powerhouses were killed or injured. That peace was fought for with our lives. If it weren’t truly unavoidable this time, the higher-ups wouldn’t touch it at all. "

"The fire essence accumulated over three eras, how many king-level great demons have been nurtured? Do you dare go there to scoop up credit? Don’t you see if you have the life for it..."

"That’s true..." The young officer nodded repeatedly.

The place, Vermilion Bird City, now looks extremely dangerous. If he goes to risk his life, he actually feels quite nervous.

"How safe is it here?" Kui Wood Wolf stretched lazily, "Fence-sit, fence-sit, is there any wind blowing here? Credit may be small, but it’s stable, why risk everything?"

As he spoke, he suddenly felt something off, as his subordinates didn’t seem to be responding to him.

He turned his head in confusion and immediately felt a chill down his spine.

No wonder no one responded, when did this woman arrive?

"You..."

"Oh, looking out so hard you lost your eyes?" a teasing voice rang out, "Is this how you usually stand guard?"

The chilling presence immediately froze Kui Wood Wolf in place, making his entire body rigid.

"My lord... why have you come?"

Damn it, wasn’t Lord Ziwei supposed to personally deal with this woman?

How could she appear here? Did she know something in advance?

Thinking of this, cold sweat dripped down Kui Wood Wolf’s back. Within Heaven’s Court, many looked down upon her wild native status, but everyone knew her combat prowess. At her peak, she could wrestle with the Three-Eyed God General—a solid top Star Official among the Four Spirits!

At such close range, if he dared to do anything, he’d likely lose his head!

"To check on you..." White Tiger said with a grin, "Oh, you haven’t reattached your arm yet? Doesn’t seem like your new master treats you well..."

"Don’t joke around, my lord..." Kui Wood Wolf quickly ingratiated himself, "What new master? My superior has always been you, hasn’t it? Even if the Divine General is of high status, they couldn’t just reattach my arm without your intervention..."

"Is that so?" White Tiger laughed loudly, "Even the Three-Eyed should be that apprehensive of me?"

"The Divine General has always respected you greatly."

"Heh..." White Tiger moved closer, grabbing the stump of Kui Wood Wolf’s arm.

The previously scarred-over arm began to bleed profusely, Kui Wood Wolf gritted his teeth but dared not make a sound.

"You know very well what’s going on. To restore your arm, a lot of essence blood is needed. Right now is precisely when we’re short of essence blood, so they wouldn’t give it to an outsider like you. It’s better to keep it to treat or resupply internal members, isn’t it?"

"Hehe... the Star Official speaks wisely..." Kui Wood Wolf grimaced in pain, but could only forcibly smile.

"They wouldn’t spare a drop of essence blood for you, so why would you think... that once I’m dead, the position of White Tiger would be yours?"

"My lord..." Kui Wood Wolf, hearing this, felt a chill to the core, his hairs standing on end.

"You’d best not make any sudden moves..." White Tiger looked at him coldly, "You know your own level well. You’re the head of the Western Constellations, but your actual skills are far inferior to Kang Jinlong. Kang Jinlong couldn’t withstand three moves against me, so what are you?"

"My lord..." The nascent aggression within Kui Wood Wolf instantly withered away.

What the other said was true. At such proximity, being one-armed, if this woman made a move, he’d die instantly!

"Heaven’s Court wants me dead, but the benefits won’t fall to you. You don’t need to take risks. I’m giving you a path now."

"Please tell me, my lord..."

"Do nothing. Just obediently stay inside the spatial formation. I won’t kill you. Otherwise... even if my location gets exposed, I’ll have no choice but to kill you all."

"Rest assured, my lord. We would never betray you..." Kui Wood Wolf hurriedly vowed.

"Your assurance? It’s as good as a fart." White Tiger sneered, then glanced behind her, where Shen Yuan had already completed drawing the spatial formation.

"Enter. I’m not going to kill you. You should be aware that I’m being hunted. Killing you would expose my location, which isn’t worth it, as long as you cooperate."

"Got it, my lord..." Kui Wood Wolf nodded repeatedly, as long as he could live, anything could be done.

"And one more thing..."

"Please, my lord!"

"Give me the route map of that Three-Eyed guy!"
