Above the Serene Gate and the Serene Heart Palace, Ye Yang stood firmly before the Table, holding the Haotian Sword. Behind him were Yun Xiaoxi and Zeng Xuan, while two rows of female disciples from the Serene Gate stood with their swords at the ready, welcoming the esteemed guests.
"Clap, clap, clap..."
With light footsteps, a figure approached, stepping on flames. The Fire Element danced around his battle boots. Clad in formidable armor, it was none other than Peng Yue. In his hand, he held a brilliantly shining longsword. With just one glance, Ye Yang determined that this was a First-Class Divine Weapon. He was surprised to find that Peng Yue's forging skills had reached such heights. In the entire world, aside from Ye Yang himself in the Fire God Clan, Peng Yue was undoubtedly a remarkable talent.
Behind Peng Yue were four guards cloaked in dark attire, each carrying long weapons and wearing grim expressions. Although they appeared to be ordinary guards, Ye Yang, Yun Xiaoxi, and Zeng Xuan—being divine-level experts—could easily discern that these four guards possessed at least Starry Sky Level Three strength!
After the Divine Realm Gate opened, chaos ensued between gods and demons. Not only did Mid-Level Deities and Lesser Deities roam the human realm, but many Starry Sky Experts also appeared in the human world from the divine realm. Undoubtedly, these four guards under Peng Yue were Starry Sky Experts who had flown from the Heavenly Gate to serve Wei Kingdom. Even Mid-Level Deities sought comfort and pleasure in the human world; how much more so for these Starry Sky Experts who lived merely for enjoyment and cultivation.
...
Ye Yang's gaze swept over Peng Yue as he clasped his fists and smiled, "Peng Yue, it's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect that in just over a year, you have already cultivated to Starry Sky Seventh Level. Truly impressive!"
Peng Yue returned the gesture with a bow and chuckled, "Ye Yang, Young Hero, you flatter me. You have already ascended to godhood; what does my mere Starry Sky Seventh Level count for?"
Ye Yang got straight to the point: "I’ve been recuperating at Serene Gate. I didn’t expect you to find out about it and come all this way. You must have important matters to discuss; just say it directly—I haven't eaten yet."
Peng Yue laughed heartily and said, "Ye Yang, Young Hero, you are indeed straightforward. It’s true that you and Miss Zeng Xuan and Miss Yun Xiaoxi teamed up to defeat Zaochi, severely injuring him and causing his cultivation to regress to Lesser Deity level. This news has spread far and wide; everyone praises your skills. How could I not know?"
Ye Yang smiled slightly and replied, "I accept your compliments. Now tell me why you are here."
Peng Yue's expression turned serious as he said solemnly: "Qi King, you control Qi Land while I control Wei Territory. We were originally at peace; however, Xiang Yu is stationed in Central Plains with control over most of Han Kingdom, Song Kingdom, and Wei Kingdom's territories. His troops are well-equipped and have relocated their capital to Peng City with an army of five hundred thousand vassals. He has also allied with Mid-Level Deity Decay Light and appointed twelve Lesser Deities as generals to rampage across the land without rivals."
Ye Yang interjected: "Xiang Yu is invincible? I heard that Liu Bang has a Upper Deity as a general; how can Xiang Yu remain invincible then?"
"Young Hero may not be aware..."
"What do you mean?"
Peng Yue smiled and said, "That Upper Deity is the Asura God from the Ancient Era, created by the balance of yin and yang. The Asura God is incredibly powerful under the moonlight, but during daylight, he can only be as strong as a Mid-Level Deity. Liu Bang appointed Han Xin as the commander, with the Asura God as the vanguard to attack Han Zhong County, but they fell into Xiang Yu's trap and launched a surprise attack on a rainy day. Yu Ji calculated the timing perfectly; when the rain stopped and the sky cleared, the Asura God's strength was greatly diminished. He was severely injured by Decay Light and twelve Lesser Deities. Although Xiang Yu lost five Lesser Deities, the Asura God was left in a weakened state and likely won't be able to fight again for at least half a year. Therefore, Liu Bang's army and Xiang Yu's army are in a stalemate."
Ye Yang said, "It seems this situation has little to do with my Qi State."
"Not at all!"
Peng Yue scoffed and said, "Qi King, I forgot to tell you that Xiang Yu established his capital in Peng City and has already captured Liang City nearby. Under the command of Jiujiang Wang Ying Bu, the Chu Army plundered Liang City, nearly emptying it of food and weapons. They even set fire to the remnants of the Fire God Clan overnight and completely looted the Azure Thunder Merchant Association. Also, that night, Miss Lei Xiaodie was severely injured by Xiang Yu and had to escape back to Linzi to recover."
Ye Yang clenched his fists. "Burning down the Fire God Clan? This... Xiang Yu is too arrogant!"
Peng Yue smiled and said, "Xiang Yu is stationed in Central Plains, using Peng City as his base to attack in all directions. The cities within Qi State such as Eastern Sea County, Jibei Commandery, and Eastern County are all within Xiang Yu's range of attack. Even my Wei Kingdom's Shangdang City and Daliang City are under threat from Xiang Yu's forces. Just imagine, with Xiang Yu calling himself the Overlord, how could he possibly regard you or me? Now that Liu Bang and I have formed an alliance, I hope Qi King will assist us in driving Xiang Yu back to Jiangdong! Come here..."
At Peng Yue's command, two attendants immediately brought out a map made of animal hide and spread it on the floor of Serene Heart Palace. Peng Yue stood on the map with a Sharp Sword in hand, pointing with his Blade as he smiled and said, "If we can drive Xiang Yu back to Jiangdong, then Korea's territory will fall under my Wei Kingdom's control, while Lu State and Shangqiu will be governed by Qi King. Jiangling of Chu and Shouchun will belong to Han Wang Liu Bang. What does Qi King think?"
Ye Yang couldn't help but smile; he hadn't expected Peng Yue to treat Xiang Yu's territory like a cake to be shared among them. After pondering for a moment, Ye Yang replied with a smile, "So what do you need from my Qi State?"
Peng Yue replied eagerly, "Yanmen County has been raided again by Vermilion Bird Knights. Qi King has reclaimed Linzi; countless weapons made from Azure Obsidian are produced daily in the God of Fire Forge. However, these Azure Obsidian weapons have a certain effectiveness against Divine Crystal Energy. In the battle at Han Zhong County, Liu Bang ordered his generals to use Azure Dawn Arrows to kill two Lesser Deities!"
"What? The Azure Dawn Arrow can kill Lesser Deities?" Ye Yang exclaimed in surprise.
Peng Yue nodded. "However, the archer must be a Starry Sky Realm Expert who infuses Starlit True Qi into the Azure Dawn Arrow. These arrows have strong offensive capabilities against Cosmic Armor; after continuous bombardment, those two Lesser Deities' Cosmic Armor shattered and they were ultimately pierced through by countless arrows!"
Ye Yang pondered for a moment: "Are you saying you want me to provide Azure Dawn Arrows and weapons forged from Azure Steel?"
"Yes!"
Peng Yue said: "According to our alliance agreement, Qi King will provide us with one hundred thousand Azure Dawn Arrows and send twenty thousand Vermilion Bird Knights to assist in battle. With our three armies attacking Peng City together, we need not fear that Xiang Yu, this Western Chu Overlord, will not find himself in dire straits. Even Decay Light may not withstand the might of Azure Dawn Arrows."
Ye Yang frowned: "That doesn't seem right; when Da Feng led two Lesser Deities to conquer all of Qi State, we still managed to resist. Why didn't the Azure Dawn Arrows work then?"
Peng Yue couldn't help but smile, "The Starry Sky General under Qi King uses some of his own weapons, while the Azure Dawn Arrows are in the hands of ordinary Soldiers. Without the concentration of Starlit True Qi, how can the Azure Dawn Arrows penetrate Cosmic Armor?"
Ye Yang understood, "Hmm, I see."
Peng Yue was delighted, "So, does this mean that Qi King has agreed to our alliance?"
Ye Yang nodded, "Xiang Yu burned my people, why wouldn't I agree?"
"Great! Let's sign the alliance agreement right away!"
...
Afterward, Ye Yang wrote a letter, ordering Wang Lie to produce fifty thousand Azure Dawn Arrows to be delivered to Peng Yue. The rest of the matters would be discussed after Ye Yang returned to Qi State.
At noon, Peng Yue stayed at Serene Gate for a meal and praised the dishes there endlessly, wishing he could immediately stay at Serene Gate and become a monk.
The Void Technique written by Qin Fang was handed over to Silent as a Cicada. Yun Xiaoxi appointed Silent as the leader of Serene Gate and left behind his Ice Crystal Technique and Mind Method. After that, Yun Xiaoxi returned to Linzi with Ye Yang and Zeng Xuan, where the three Divine-level Experts practiced and sparred together, perhaps making faster progress.
