The autumn air was thick, and on the mountain path, Ye Yang carried the Azure Soul Sword and Haotian Sword, with a blade of foxtail grass in his mouth, strolling leisurely along the road.
"A little monk goes down the mountain to collect alms, the old monk has instructed not to pick wildflowers below; if you don't pick them, it's a waste..." Ye Yang was so relaxed that he began to sing to himself.
Yun Xiaoxi chuckled, "What does this have to do with anything? Zi Yu, as the Eastern General, you shouldn't be singing such mundane folk songs..."
Ye Yang grinned, "Hey, I'm in a good mood!"
Yan Yao asked, "Brother, why are you in such a good mood?"
"Because I'm going to find Peng Yue!" Ye Yang looked up at the sky and said with a smile, "The first time I met Peng Yue, his strength completely surpassed mine. The second time was in Yan Country's Lower Capital, where I defeated him with all my might. Now that I've stepped into the Starry Sky Sixth Level Intermediate realm, Peng Yue is no longer my opponent. Hmph, this time I must pry that secret from him—how did his Fire God Bloodline awaken?"
"Hmm, where are we going?"
"To the capital of the Wei Kingdom, Daliang City. Hmph, King Wei resides there. Peng Yue, as the Wei State Chancellor, has stationed two hundred thousand troops in Daliang City and is likely plotting against Yanmen County and Hengshan County. This time, I'm just going to gauge the situation and see what Daliang City is really like!"
"Okay, let's go together!"
"Sure!"
...
They flew swiftly and arrived at Daliang City around noon.
Inside the city was bustling with activity; pedestrians were coming and going, merchants entering the city while woodcutters and farmers exited without any hindrance. Undoubtedly, this was an open and prosperous city. At the city gate, a dozen guards in full armor were inspecting passersby, but it was merely a formality.
Ye Yang crossed his arms over his chest and boldly approached. He lifted his battle boots and strode into the city wearing dark red armor and a blood-red Qin General cloak. Yun Xiaoxi and Yan Yao were stunned, secretly wondering if he had lost his mind.
"Stop!"
One guard blocked Ye Yang's path and shouted sternly, "What are you doing? Why are you dressed like a Qin General? Don't you know that the Qin State has already fallen? This is Wei Kingdom territory; you cannot enter freely!"
Ye Yang lowered his head and replied in a deep voice, "I'm just passing through; don't block my way!"
The voice was deep yet powerful, mixed with a hint of pressure, instantly putting a group of guards under significant stress. The guard who asked the question turned pale, nodded, and murmured, "Then... you may enter..."
Ye Yang smiled proudly, and immediately Yun Xiaoxi and Yan Yao were astonished, quickly following him inside.
...
Upon entering the city, Ye Yang did not rush to find Peng Yue. Instead, he inquired with a subordinate within the city and learned about several famous restaurants in Daliang City. He then took the two girls there, ordered a full table of dishes, and after a hearty meal, pulled out a silver ingot from his pocket and asked, "Keeper, may I ask you something?"
The Keeper looked at the silver and beamed with delight. "Guest, please speak! I will surely tell you everything I know!"
"Good. Do you know about the Prime Minister of Wei Kingdom, Peng Yue?"
"Oh, he is also a Divine Weapon of Wei Kingdom, highly valued by King Wei. Who in Daliang City doesn't know of Peng Yue's reputation? Haha, you truly flatter me."
Ye Yang nodded. "I would like to meet General Peng Yue. Do you know how I can find him?"
"Meet General Peng Yue?" The Keeper was slightly taken aback and said, "He is the Chancellor of Wei State; how could just anyone meet him? Guest, who exactly are you? You don't seem like an ordinary person; you're dressed in military attire that looks like it belongs to the former Qin dynasty."
Ye Yang smiled lightly. "Well, I was a Qin General but have since become an exile. Relying on my bravery and skills, I wish to serve General Peng Yue in Wei Kingdom. I wonder how I can find him?"
The Keeper then revealed a knowing smile. "Oh, so it's an old general from Pre-Qin wanting to serve Great Wei. That's wonderful! General Peng Yue is in the palace of Daliang City. He is highly valued by King Wei and has established a War God Temple in the palace. When he is not on campaign, he resides in the War God Temple, which has hundreds of maids and attendants."
Ye Yang displayed a knowing smile as well. The Innkeeper glanced at Yun Xiaoxi and Yan Yao, two stunning beauties beside Ye Yang, raised an eyebrow, indicating that the young man had quite the fortune.
...
After learning about Peng Yue's residence, Ye Yang and the two women left the restaurant.
"Zi Yu, how do you plan to find Peng Yue?" Yun Xiaoxi looked at Ye Yang and smiled lightly. "You aren't really thinking of serving him, are you? Someone like him..."
"How could that be?" Ye Yang glanced toward the palace and laughed. "We'll go directly to the War God Temple and find Peng Yue!"
"Well, how do we get there!"
"Fly! I'm so full, it's just right to go give that Divine Weapon a good beating to digest!"
Yun Xiaoxi: "..."
Yan Yao: "..."
...
Ye Yang stretched his body, and faint starlight danced around him, the glow of Starlight Power. In the next moment, he slightly bent his body like a bow, suddenly pushing off the ground. He soared into the air, flying toward the palace like an immortal.
"Heavens, that person can fly..." a woodcutter exclaimed in shock.
"An immortal!" One of the guards was already trembling.
Yun Xiaoxi and Yan Yao were somewhat speechless but had no choice. The two lovely young girls in long skirts began to dance and, in the next moment, floated up into the sky, disappearing into the horizon. A crowd of Daliang City citizens stared in astonishment, with some even kneeling down, believing that these three were celestial beings descended to earth.
In the air, Ye Yang spotted the ground below. Not far ahead, the palace appeared. On a stone-carved long sword sculpture at the side hall of the palace, three large characters were inscribed: War God Temple!
"We're here!"
He flipped and landed steadily in the square beneath the War God Temple. Not far away, nearly a hundred Daliang City soldiers were training. Upon seeing Ye Yang's arrival, they all showed signs of vigilance, brandishing their halberds and rushing toward him, surrounding Ye Yang at the center while shouting, "You reckless brat, how dare you infiltrate the War God Temple!"
Ye Yang smiled lightly as Pressure descended. The group of Soldiers immediately knelt on the ground, their faces pale. They all realized how incredibly strong this young man was; just a small aura of Pressure rendered these elite Soldiers powerless to resist and made them submit.
"You... who exactly are you?" one Soldier asked in despair.
Ye Yang calmly asked, "Is Peng Yue in the War God Temple?"
"The General is not in the War God Temple; he... he is discussing military matters with Sire in the main hall..."
"Thanks!"
Ye Yang smiled, rose up, and flew out again. Behind him, Yun Xiaoxi and Yan Yao had just landed and were hurriedly on their way, busy as ever.
...
In the main hall, King Wei sat on the throne, holding a scroll. After reading it, he said with great authority, "Yanmen County is like a poisonous thorn piercing between Wei Kingdom and Yan Kingdom. Moreover, Yanmen County is rich in resources and has the unique production site of Azure Obsidian. Possessing Azure Dawn Mountain is equivalent to having the finest weapons forge in the Central Plains. We must seize Yanmen County!"
At the foot of the steps, Divine Weapon Peng Yue, clad in armor, clasped his fists and said, "Sire, as I see it, there are a large number of Qi troops stationed in Yanmen County, along with Starry Sky Warriors Zhang Tianhe, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei guarding it. It would be difficult to attack directly. However, the Azure Steel forged at Bright Moon Platform is to be sent to Linzi City. Instead, we could dispatch light cavalry to intercept the transport of Azure Obsidian on the way between Yanmen County and Hengshan County. This way, we would achieve our goal."
King Wei was overjoyed: "Good! Good! With General Peng Yue's brilliant strategy, our Wei Kingdom will no longer fear the troops of Qi State!"
...
At that moment, there was a loud crash as the roof suddenly shattered. A figure floated down wearing a red cloak and striking armor, carrying two sharp swords—it was Ye Yang.
"Old buddy, are you planning to seize the iron mines?" Ye Yang glared at King Wei and reproached him aggressively.
