Chapter 140: Planning Slaughter City
"Shi Heng!"
"Subordinate is here." Shi Heng rode forward to speak.
"I command you to take the Nightmare Legion and assist the Slaughter Legion in exterminating the Refining Qi Guild," Yang Chen instructed.
"Yes, Leader," Shi Heng replied respectfully.
"Thank you, Leader," Endless Slaughter said reassuringly.
"Celestial Calculator Senior, just in case, I ask you to go along as well," Yang Chen said for precaution.
"Alright," Celestial Calculator nodded in agreement.
"Two hours later, the Listening Wind Tower will celebrate your victory!" Yang Chen commanded.
"Yes, Leader. Should we bring back the corpses from the Demon Lord Realm?" Shi Heng inquired.
"Bring them back," Yang Chen nodded.
"Understood, Leader." Shi Heng acknowledged and then left with the Slaughter Legion led by Endless Slaughter, taking along four hundred thousand Nightmare Iron Riders.
"Did the remaining Saint of Combat experts in Slaughter City not join any forces?" Yang Chen asked.
"There are only three Saint of Combat in total in Slaughter City: Sheng Wuyou, Wu Tianxin, and Emotional Words of Sorrow," Lin Mu Yu replied.
"Three Saint of Combat. Having three is already quite good," Yang Chen remarked.
"Yang Chen, these three Saint of Combat committed serious crimes in a certain dynasty and cannot be pardoned, so they cannot leave Slaughter City at will," Lin Mu Yu reminded.
"What are they doing here then?"
"The City of Slaughter is located in the wilderness, where trade can be conducted with the demon race. At the same time, there are many other ancient races in the wilderness, which has led to the City of Slaughter being left unmanaged. As for what they do here, I do not know. The reason I guard this place is to prevent war from breaking out and destroying the City of Slaughter, the place where I had my first date and meeting with him," Lin Mu Yu analyzed.
"Please rest assured, Master. I am confident that at most only the Heavenly Continent will invade; otherwise, no one from any continent would care about the City of Slaughter," Yang Chen said confidently.
"Oh? You are so confident? Well, as your master, I have no reason not to believe you. Moreover, with your Shadow Kill Legion's current formation, as long as a certain dynasty does not launch a full-scale attack, you should be able to retreat safely," Lin Mu Yu said.
"Master, the current dynasties probably do not have forces stronger than mine, with two hundred thousand troops!" Yang Chen said confidently.
"Arrogant! Do you think an empire only has a mere two hundred thousand troops? A slaughter legion has seventy thousand soldiers; an empire can barely compare with that! Let me tell you, an empire must have at least ten million troops. Moreover, no emperor would reveal their full strength. Just look at Fan Ying Tian of the Jia Shi Dynasty; he has three hundred thousand private soldiers, and Chitianba also has three hundred thousand private soldiers. Adding the two hundred thousand on the surface gives a total of eight hundred thousand! This does not even account for the armies guarding various cities or the three lords. Fan Ying Tian and Chitianba together possess ten million troops! Therefore, a rebellion by three lords is just a joke. Even if two more lords recruit soldiers, they would only have five hundred thousand troops at most; it remains a farce!" Lin Mu Yu analyzed.
"I understand now; thank you for your guidance, Master. In a year's time, my Shadow Kill Legion should reach nearly five hundred thousand and then assist the two lords in overthrowing the Jia Shi Dynasty; it shouldn't be too difficult," Yang Chen said.
"Yang Chen, do not underestimate any empire. If an empire lacks sufficient foundation, how can it withstand pressure from all sides? If the Meteorological Sect had strength, would they not attack the Jia Shi Dynasty? The Meteorological Sect has nine Fighting Saints; Qixing Sect and Tian You Sect must also have this level of strength. However, no matter what they do, they cannot compete with the Jia Shi Dynasty and are currently being hunted down like ordinary stray dogs by them. I estimate that any dynasty should have around thirty Fighting Saints or so, and this number will only increase," Lin Mu Yu said.
"Thank you, Master! Perhaps due to smooth sailing these past years, I have lost sight of the situation. Today’s insights from you have awakened me from my arrogance," Yang Chen said respectfully.
"Alright, as long as you understand that is enough. I do not wish to do anything else; once I fulfill my promise, I will seek out Life Sovereign to avenge my husband!" Lin Mu Yu said coldly.
"Master, I've said it before; I will take revenge for my master's death. You can rest assured," Yang Chen said firmly.
"If you grow to a satisfactory level within ten years, I will leave it to you," Lin Mu Yu said before turning to leave.
"Elders, you may go rest now; it can be said that this vast City of Slaughter is ours now; feel free," Yang Chen smiled.
"Yes, you go ahead and busy yourself; we won't trouble you," they replied before leaving in pairs. At that moment, two men and two women hurriedly stepped out from the crowd and quickly approached Yang Chen respectfully.
"Young Master." "Young Master." Xiao Wu and her husband along with Xiao Jun and Tian Ling were walking briskly towards him.
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Jun, Tianxin, Tian Ling, how have you been recently?" Yang Chen asked.
"Thanks to Young Master’s blessings, everything is well. Previously there were so many seniors around; we did not dare come to greet Young Master," Xiao Wu said.
"It's alright; I still need to thank you properly. Without you all, the Shadow Kill Yongbing Legion wouldn't have been able to stand firm," Yang Chen smiled.
"This is what I should do," Xiao Wu and the others nodded quietly.
Yang Chen nodded and said, "I’m glad you think this way; at least you haven't forgotten your roots. When are you getting married? I will officiate your wedding."
"Well, we haven't decided yet. Young Master, if we finalize it, we will definitely let you know," Xiao Jun said, blushing.
"That's up to you, but don't let the girl get pregnant before the wedding; otherwise, the people from the Celestial Maiden Sacred Land won't be pleased," Yang Chen said with a smile. Upon hearing "Celestial Maiden Sacred Land," Tianxin and Tianling's faces turned pale.
"Hehe, you don't need to worry. I have an agreement with your Saintess Tian Mingyue; they won't hold it against you. Rest assured, and when you get married, I can’t guarantee anything else, but Tian Mingyue will definitely attend your wedding," Yang Chen said confidently.
Immediately, the eyes of the two sisters, Tianxin, lit up as they exclaimed, "Really? Young Master, you're not lying to us?"
"How could I lie to you? Don't worry; I promise! Now go prepare a bit. When Shiheng and Shajiang return, we will get ready for the Feast. This time we should stay in the City of Slaughter for several months before heading deep into the wilderness to hunt magical beasts," Yang Chen said.
"Yes, Young Master." The four quietly withdrew. Half an hour later, Shiheng and Shajiang returned.
"Report to the Chief: The Alchemy Guild's branch in the City of Slaughter has a total of four thousand eight hundred twenty-one people, all dead with no survivors. Please give instructions!" Shajiang said coldly.
"Thank you for your hard work. Go rest for a while; tonight the whole city is booked at Listening Wind Tower waiting for you," Yang Chen said softly.
"Yes, Chief." After that, Shajiang led the soldiers of the Slaughter Legion away.
