Ju Wuba, relying on his outstanding abilities, was appointed as the vanguard and charged towards Kunyang.
Below the city of Kunyang, Ju Wuba's first opponent was Yao Qi. It was truly ironic, as this matter could have taken a turn, but to his surprise, on Ju Wuba's first engagement, he encountered Yao Qi, who spoke utter nonsense.
Before the two armies, Ju Wuba questioned Yao Qi about their enmity and why he had dealt such a fatal blow. However, at that time, Yao Qi had no idea what Ju Wuba was talking about and couldn't understand. He simply replied, "We share a deep, bloody hatred, no need for further words, come and fight!"
This thoughtless remark instantly ignited their hatred. Yao Qi spoke unintentionally, but Ju Wuba heard it with intent, thinking that he and Yao Qi indeed had an irreconcilable hatred. Enraged, Ju Wuba unleashed his attacks and consecutively defeated the four great vanguards of the Han army: Yao Qi, Ma Wu, Cen Peng, and Du Mao. Even when the four joined forces, they were no match for him.
Before the battle formation, the arrogant Ma Wu had no choice but to admit that Ju Wuba was invincible.
The next day, Ju Wuba, who had swept away the four great vanguards of the Han, once again went into battle. By the end of that day, Ju Wuba had defeated over ten Han generals and killed five, forcing Deng Yu to hoist the white flag of non-engagement.
On the third day, the Han camp employed a strategy of surprise attack. Jia Fu directly stormed the enemy encampment four times. Wang Mang's army was powerless to resist. Only the mighty Ju Wuba, with his immense strength, faced him head-on. Ju Wuba, discarding his armor which hindered him, still fought Jia Fu for over a hundred rounds.
Throughout the entire saga, in the early stages, only the invincible Ju Wuba could contend with Jia Fu, the Silver Halberd Demigod and Snow King.
Later, Liu Xiu, in order to defeat Wang Mang and to counter Ju Wuba, deployed a grand military formation called "The Stars Align" to trap Ju Wuba. Liu Xiu learned the truth of the matter and entreated him thrice. At this point, Ju Wuba understood the truth of his family's annihilation. After asking Ma Wu to avenge him, he committed suicide.
Yang Hao closed Ju Wuba's information. The Great Han Immortal Dynasty now possessed experts at the Immortal King level. If the Flying Immortal Sect and the Ancient Sacred Court did not possess Emperor-level Immortal Treasures, Ju Wuba alone would have been enough to sweep through the entire Myriad Ancient Weak Continent.
Alas, every faction's ancestors had produced Immortal Emperors. Relying on the Emperor-level Immortal Treasures of their ancestors, Yang Hao could only proceed with his plans.
"Wei Zhongxian, has Jia Xu sent any word?"
"Reporting to Your Imperial Majesty, Lord Jia Xu has no information to send back yet!" Wei Zhongxian said softly. Jia Xu had infiltrated the Ancient Sacred Court half a month ago. In the eyes of the Ancient Sacred Court, which was desperate for talent and eager to deal with traitors, Jia Xu easily entered the vision of the Ancient Sacred Emperor with his schemes.
Using the alias "Wen He," Jia Xu entered the Ancient Sacred Court, of course, he had also changed his appearance. He boldly predicted the trends of the Myriad Ancient Weak Continent, stating that the destruction of the Crimson Sun Sect was imminent. As expected, the Crimson Sun Sect was the first to be destroyed. This unexpected prediction earned him the high regard of the Ancient Sacred Emperor.
The Ancient Sacred Emperor visited Jia Xu's residence to inquire about strategies for destroying the Flying Immortal Sect and the Profound Sacred Immortal Dynasty. After three personal visits, Jia Xu offered a plan and helped the Ancient Sacred Court successfully repel the combined attacks of the Treasure Profound Immortal Dynasty and the Flying Immortal Sect.
Furthermore, in this battle, he crushed the personal guard army of the Profound Sacred Emperor, devising a poisonous scheme that allowed the Ancient Sacred Emperor to establish a firm foothold with his own strength, earning the allegiance of his father's old subordinates.
For this, the Ancient Sacred Emperor appointed Jia Xu as Prime Minister, in charge of the military and political affairs of the Ancient Sacred Court. Half a month later, the Purple Thunder Sect was annihilated. Upon hearing the news, the Sect Master of the Purple Thunder Sect was greatly alarmed, lost his composure in the imperial court, and repeatedly requested troops to conquer the Great Han Immortal Dynasty, but all were rejected by Jia Xu on the grounds of the Sacred Court's safety.
The Sect Master of the Purple Thunder Sect therefore harbored resentment towards Jia Xu and secretly plotted to mobilize a thousand personal guards to assassinate Jia Xu. However, all of this was within Jia Xu's plan. On that day, he hosted the son of the Ancient Sacred Emperor at his residence to discuss the changing world situation. As a result, the Sect Master of the Purple Thunder Sect accidentally injured the son of the Ancient Sacred Emperor. Enraged, the Ancient Sacred Emperor personally killed the Sect Master of the Purple Thunder Sect and abolished his royal title.
During this assassination attempt, Jia Xu took a sword for the son of the Ancient Sacred Emperor, demonstrating his deep loyalty. He was deeply trusted by the Ancient Sacred Emperor and was directly made a king, with the freedom to enter and exit the imperial palace of the Sacred Court.
In just one month, a human being named Wen He, with his myriad strategies and his dedication to the Sacred Court, became the foremost figure beneath the Ancient Sacred Emperor, second only to the Emperor himself, above ten thousand others.
"Prime Minister Jia, now that you have entered the core of the Ancient Sacred Court's power and are in charge of its military and political affairs, it will still take some time to eliminate the Profound Sacred Immortal Dynasty and the Flying Immortal Sect, and to weaken the Ancient Sacred Court's Emperor in the process."
Yang Hao, upon hearing no news, found it understandable. Jia Xu had just taken charge and needed time to consolidate his position.
"Reporting to Your Imperial Majesty!"
As soon as Yang Hao finished speaking, Mao Xiang, the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, stepped forward and said softly, "Lord Jia's secret report states that the Flying Immortal Sect has allied with the Treasure Profound Immortal Dynasty and launched another army to surprise attack the Ancient Sacred Court. Lord Jia intends to eliminate the Profound Sacred Immortal Dynasty in this battle. If possible, he may acquire an Emperor-level Immortal Treasure from the Ancient Sacred Court!"
"Proceed as you planned, no need to report again!"
After a moment of contemplation, Yang Hao directly gave the order. The situation on the front lines was volatile, and he trusted Jia Xu's ability and vision to handle the Ancient Sacred Court, the Profound Sacred Immortal Dynasty, and the Flying Immortal Sect.
After Wei Zhongxian and Mao Xiang withdrew, Yang Hao looked in the direction Yang Ying had left. More than a month had passed, and he wondered if she had reached the Feng Prefecture realm and how she was living there, if she had suffered any grievances.
What Yang Hao did not know was that Yang Ying had arrived in the Feng Prefecture realm more than half a month ago, nor did he know that Danxue Mountain was currently surrounded by three major forces, its situation unclear, and whether it could withstand the combined assault of these three powers was unknown.
...
"King of Ventilation, if not now, when?"
King Yu Rong, who controlled a million-strong army and condensed their formations, suddenly spoke coldly. With a roar from King Yu Rong, a spatial portal opened directly above the million-strong army of Zhaoyao Palace. A hazy figure gradually materialized, holding a long staff in his hand.
Yet, from this mere flickering shadow, all the observing powerful cultivators turned pale and retreated a thousand zhang, sensing the changes in Danxue Mountain solely with their divine sense.
"King of Ventilation!"
"The foremost general under Emperor Zhaoyao of Zhaoyao Palace!"
"His true form is a macaque. He was enlightened by an unknown Immortal Emperor and cultivated heavenly defying skills. It is said that he fought the phoenix clan's wings for a thousand years without a clear victor!"
"The title 'Ventilation' is his unique technique. His speed is unparalleled among quasi-Emperor realm beings. Even an early-stage Immortal Emperor spent a great deal of effort but could not capture him."
"To escape from the hands of an Immortal Emperor unscathed demonstrates the power of King of Ventilation!"
