Chapter 124: A Year of Truce
"I understand, should we forcibly capture them?" Heavenly Gift asked.
"No! If we forcibly capture them, we will bear the stigma of being villains, rather than righteous warriors, which would greatly harm our future plans," Yang Chen directly rejected.
"Yes, I understand," Heavenly Gift said respectfully.
"Alright, you can go back now. Sometimes you need to come out and let people know of your existence, but don't get involved with Zhang Gao," Yang Chen reminded.
"Yes, I take my leave," Heavenly Gift said respectfully, then slowly walked out of the Galaxy City Lord's residence. Yang Chen reflected on what Heavenly Gift had just said for a moment, then stood up and found the Galaxy City Lord, saying, "The mission to reinforce Galaxy City has been completed, and I will be leaving now."
"Ah, oh, this, which... Shadow Kill Camp Camp Leader, have a safe journey," the Galaxy City Lord said excitedly. Happiness came too suddenly for him to know how to respond, but he was exceptionally pleased to finally send off this formidable figure.
"Oh? The Galaxy City Lord is so happy? Well, that's understandable. Since I'm leaving again, I would like to ask the Galaxy City Lord for something," Yang Chen said calmly, then took out a Blood Token from the Demon God Ring.
"Ah, if Camp Leader Yang wants anything, just say it. I will definitely provide whatever I can," the Galaxy City Lord quickly replied upon seeing the Blood Token in Yang Chen's hand.
"You two come with me," Yang Chen said to Tianya and Tianguang behind the Galaxy City Lord.
"Ah, Camp Leader Yang, that might not be good. Can we... can we exchange for something else?" the Galaxy City Lord hurriedly said.
"I came here risking my life to assist you and didn't ask for anything in return except for you two. Are you refusing even that? Do you not take me seriously?" Yang Chen coldly questioned.
"No, no! How could I dare? Don't be angry! Let's discuss this properly," the Galaxy City Lord panicked. Tianya and Tianguang were his right-hand men; without them, who would strategize for him in the future?
"Camp Leader Yang, a gentleman does not force others into difficulty. I currently do not wish to leave Galaxy City. If one day I decide to leave here, I will definitely come to join you first. How about that?" Tianya interjected to defuse the situation.
"Don't tell me about coming at the first opportunity. Whether you come with me today or not, I'm taking you away regardless. Even if it's just a corpse," Yang Chen said coldly.
"Then please kill me, Camp Leader Yang, so that others won't say I've been unfaithful," Tianya replied defiantly.
"Oh, so that's why. City Lord, I want to take Tianya and Tianguang with me. Do you have any objections?" Yang Chen lazily asked, tossing the Heavenly Kill Order in front of Galaxy City Lord.
"Shiheng, come in and help the City Lord make a decision." Seeing Galaxy City Lord hesitating, Yang Chen called out loudly towards the Lobby.
"Yes, Young Master." A figure in black appeared before them: "City Lord, have you made your decision?"
"I've made my decision, I've made my decision. Tianya, Tianguang, our Galaxy City is small; you should go out and explore with Yang Camp Leader. When you become successful, don't forget your brother," said Galaxy City Lord, sweating profusely.
"Sigh." Tianya sighed and looked at Galaxy City Lord with disappointment, saying, "Alright, I will not forget the kindness of the City Lord."
"That's great, very good," Galaxy City Lord said with relief.
"City Lord, the Heavenly Kill Order cannot kill a city lord! You are already considered a civil official, holding the position of city lord and ranked as a first-class minister; the Heavenly Kill Order cannot reach you," Tianya shook his head helplessly and then said to Tianguang, "Brother, let's go. This city lord's vision is too small and narrow."
"Everything depends on brother's decision," Tianguang said.
"Yang Camp Leader, I cannot let Tianya and Tianguang go with you. If you have the ability, then kill me!" Upon hearing that the Heavenly Kill Order could not harm him, Galaxy City Lord immediately shouted. Hearing this, Tianya and Tianguang shook their heads in disappointment and stopped looking at Galaxy City Lord.
"Even if I kill you, no one above can blame me. Last night at midnight, Zhang Gao sent a Demon Lord to attack the city; unfortunately, Galaxy City Lord was sacrificed. Moreover, as long as I don't kill you but just incapacitate you, no one can blame me! Do you want to try?" Yang Chen said coldly.
Under Yang Chen's strong intimidation, he took Tianya and Tianguang away and then organized his troops—over fifteen thousand people, including three thousand Nightmare Iron Cavalry, all headed towards Lake City. As they approached Lake City, they learned that the Empire had already sent someone to take over and there was a new city lord. However, the arrival of Yang Chen did not cause any resentment from the city lord of Lake City.
After learning that Lake City already had a city lord, Yang Chen did not allow all soldiers to enter together but instead brought three thousand Nightmare Iron Cavalry. This scene made others envious. Upon entering Lake City, over three thousand people directly rode towards the city lord's mansion; along the way, the guards of Lake City, upon seeing the emblem of Shadow Kill, did not stop them.
At the mansion of the city lord of Lake City, "Inform your city lord that it's Shadow Kill Camp Camp Leader, Yang Chen, here to see him," said Yang Chen to the soldier guarding the entrance.
"Lord Yang, the city lord has instructed that if it is you coming, there is no need for an announcement; you may enter directly," a soldier replied.
Yang Chen chuckled and said, "This Zhu Wei knows how to treat people well." He then dismounted from his wolf and told a soldier, "Lead the way."
"Yes, my lord."
"You are all waiting here," Yang Chen said to the Three Thousand Iron Riders behind him.
"Yes, Leader." Then Yang Chen, along with Shi Heng and Lin Tingting, was led by a soldier to meet the Lord of Lake City, Zhu Wei.
"Ha ha, Brother Yang." Zhu Wei had already been waiting in the Reception Room upon learning that Yang Chen was coming.
"Brother Zhu," Yang Chen replied with a smile.
"I always hear Grandfather talk about how brave Brother Yang is. I never believed it until today when I saw it for myself. Grandfather must have been holding back some details, ha ha," Zhu Wei laughed. Indeed, Zhu Wei was the grandson of Zhu Jiang; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to take charge of the war-torn Lake City at the Nine-Star Dou Huang Realm.
"Zhu Jiang has passed away," Yang Chen said with a smile.
"Brother Yang is being modest. No one can easily make the Heavenly Maiden Sanctuary suffer losses, especially not when four Demon Lords are missing from Zhang Gaojun Camp! Zhang Gao is no longer a concern now. In seven days, the Two Princes and the other two Lords will pressure Zhang Gao," Zhu Wei intentionally revealed to Yang Chen.
"Oh? Is Red Dragon Brother not participating?" Yang Chen asked.
"Crimson Dragon? Oh, he has no reputation and no soldiers under his command," Zhu Wei said with a laugh.
"Ha ha, so that's how it is. Brother Zhu, do you know if there are any instructions from above?" Yang Chen inquired.
"There are no instructions; the Empire's Soldiers will rest for a year," Zhu Wei replied.
