Guo Jing and Yue Fei looked at each other. They did not know if Mei Changge was telling the truth.
But on second thought, there was no need for Mei Changge to lie to them.
“What my lord said is true. It’s only a matter of time before the stargate shatters. I also came from a world that was about to shatter.’
When Xu Chu saw the disbelief on their faces, he could not help but speak again.
When Yue Fei and Guo Jing heard Xu Chu’s words, they could not help but look at Xu Chu.
Looking at the burly Xu Chu, the two of them fell into deep thought.
“That’s right, why would he lie to us? The foreign races have already appeared.
It wouldn’t be impossible for the world to shatter, would it?”
Yue Fei could not help but think. This made him trust Mei Changge’s words even more.
“The foreign races are advancing regardless, and with your current strength, you won’t be able to hold them back for long. General Yue Fei, how about you relinquish your position, and I’ll assist in defending Xiangyang City?”
Xu Chu spoke again. His tone was sharp as if he looked down on Yue Fei.
Mei Changge did not stop Xu Chu because he knew that Xu Chu was provoking
Yue Fei.
He also wanted Yue Fei and Guo Jing to see his true strength.
“Brother Yue.”
Guo Jing’s face was grave. He turned to Yue Fei again as if to confirm something.
Yue Fei could not help but shake his head when Guo Jing called out to him.
“We are grateful for your offer, but Xiangyang City belongs to the Great Song. I, Yue Fei, will never surrender it to the foreign races!”
Yue Fei’s tone was serious. It looked like he was making a promise to Mei Changge, but he was actually making a promise to himself.
He had learned from Guo Jing that the foreign race known as the Ghoul race was formidable. But in his view, the Yue army was not lacking in strength either.
Besides, when he arrived, the Yue army had already gathered and was heading for Xiangyang City.
“I understand General Yue’s feelings. The two of us won’t attack casually.”
Seeing that Yue Fei refused, Mei Changge smiled. He knew that Yue Fei definitely wouldn’t hand over the defense of Xiangyang City to someone he had only known for less than half a day.
Furthermore, despite the absence of the Great Song’s royal family, Yue Fei still regarded himself as a representative of the Great Song.
Guo Jing felt the same way.
“Nonetheless, do not underestimate the power of the foreign races. Additionally, if I am not mistaken, neither of you possesses Transcendent divine arts, correct?”
“Even though you are a Transcendent, you do not possess any Transcendent divine arts. It’s more like pseudo-Transcendence.”
Mei Changge sensed their realms and instantly understood their true strength.
Moreover, there were no signs of Transcendent divine arts on the two of them as if their realms had been forcefully upgraded.
“Transcendent divine arts?”
Yue Fei and Guo Jing were stunned by Mei Changge’s words.
The two of them had just learned from Mei Changge that the Transcendent realm was the same as the Grandmaster realm, but what were the
Transcendent divine arts? The two of them were puzzled for a moment.
“My lord, the Golden Crow Guards have sent a message. They said they have something important to report.”
Before Yue Fei and Guo Jing could ask, Xu Chu suddenly said.
“Oh, in that case, let’s go take a look.”
Mei Changge cast an approving glance at Xu Chu. Then, his expression grew serious as he addressed Yue Fei and Xu Chu, “We have urgent matters to attend to. We will take our leave now.”
After Mei Changge finished speaking, he left the Guo Residence with Xu Chu. Yue Fei and Guo Jing looked at each other again as Mei Changge and Xu Chu left.
“Brother Yue, how true do you think his words are?”
Guo Jing asked solemnly.
From the moment Guo Jia stepped into the Guo Residence, he sensed that he and Yue Fei had become ensnared in an unusual atmosphere.
Coupled with Mei Changge’s shocking news, the two of them could not tell if it was true or not.
“I think there’s an 80% chance that it’s true.”
Yue Fei’s gaze held a profound intensity. For reasons he couldn’t quite explain, he placed his trust in Mei Changge’s words.
“Brother Yue, what do you think the Transcendent divine arts they mentioned Guo Jing asked curiously.
“I’m not entirely certain, but if the Transcendent realm they referred to requires Transcendent divine arts, it could be the distinguishing factor between us and them.”
Yue Fei thought for a moment and could not guess what the Transcendent divine arts Mei Changge mentioned were.
“What about Xiangyang City?”
Guo Jing asked Yue Fei again with a serious expression.
“My Yue army is about to arrive. Even if the Jin people and the foreign races attack, we will definitely be fine for the time being.”
Yue Fei’s tone was filled with confidence. He still believed in the strength of his men.
After all, he had trained them from the ground up and had overcome numerous Jin adversaries on his own.
“Forming an army with martial artists is nearly impossible, but word about the foreign races has already circulated. These individuals can be regarded as a formidable force. Remaining within Xiangyang City is a wise choice.”
“What do you think about this? You take the lead in organizing an alliance among the martial artists. When the occasion arises, you can delegate certain tasks to them.”
Yue Fei’s eyes were filled with contemplation. Since the martial artists were unwilling to form an army, he would let Guo Jing form an alliance.
With the army securing the city, it would be beneficial to assign the martial artists to undertake various other tasks.
“Alright, Brother Yue, I understand!”
Although Guo Jing looked like a simple and honest person, he knew very well what was going on.
“I’ll inspect the garrison in Xiangyang City and assess whether I can transform them into an effective fighting force in a short span. This would make our defense much more formidable.
After Yue Fei finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.
On the other side, after Mei Changge and Xu Chu left, the former smiled.
“Zhong Kang, well done.”
“It’s all because you taught me well, my lord.”
Xu Chu chuckled. The information he had just shared about the Golden Crow Guards was false.
The supposed Transcendent divine arts were merely a trigger they had left behind.
“Since we’re in Xiangyang City, let’s take a look around.”
Mei Changge looked at the antique street with a hint of interest on his face.
Xiangyang City had preserved its antique style completely, standing in stark contrast to the structures Mei Changge had encountered previously.
“By the way, my lord, what do you think of the treasure that killed all the royal family of the Great Song?”
As the two of them strolled in the city, Xu Chu asked curiously.
“Who knows? But if it’s a dragon-shaped white jade, it might not be that simple.”
Mei Changge shook his head slightly and said to Xu Chu.
“In a little while, venture outside the city and dispatch some Golden Crows to inquire about the treasure that fell from the sky a year ago. Do your utmost to secure it.”
“We can also ask about the dragon-shaped white jade.”
When Mei Changge heard Xu Chu’s words, he instructed Xu Chu.
“Yes, my lord.”
Xu Chu nodded and agreed.
At this level-two stargate, in addition to transporting people into Green Lotus Territory, there was also a treasure that had fallen from the sky. These treasures were also of no less than Grade 8 quality. It was not impossible for it to be a Grade 7 treasure either.
Soon, two days passed.
In the past two days, Mei Changge and Xu Chu had been strolling in Xiangyang City as if they had nothing to do.
However, they had been paying attention to the situation in Xiangyang City. Apart from the Golden Crow Guards who had been sent out to gather information, the rest of the Golden Crow Guards had changed their clothes and entered Xiangyang City as well.
As for the Snow Wolf, Mei Changge did not know where it had gone. However, it returned to his side from time to time to ask for more White Jade Lotus Wine.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Mei Changge and Xu Chu were seated in a local inn in Xiangyang City, savoring distinctive delicacies, when the distant sound of drums suddenly filled the air. The sound was so loud that it could be heard anywhere in Xiangyang City.
“My lord, it seems like the Jin people and foreign race are here.”
Xu Chu said with interest.
The sound of the drums could only imply one thing: someone was about to launch an invasion of Xiangyang City.
“Yes, the aura of the foreign races has appeared outside the city.”
Mei Changge nodded slightly, but he still ate the delicacies on the table calmly.
Howl!
A snowy figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere and landed in front of Mei Changge and Xu Chu. It was the Snow Wolf that had been missing for half a day.
“Okay, if you venture out again, make sure to avoid getting captured and turned into a meal for the foreign races.”
Looking at the Snow Wolf, Mei Changge could not help but smile. The Snow Wolf shrank its neck and crouched quietly at Mei Changge’s feet.
At that moment, as the Snow Wolf had been sipping the White Jade Lotus Wine, its snowy fur had taken on a white jade-like sheen. When still, from a distance, it appeared as if a jade-made pub.
Its body had also grown two times larger. When it stood up, it was already at Mei Changge’s knee.
Initially, the Snow Wolf had taken on the appearance of a complete pub, but now, it transformed into an adult wolf.
“My lord, do you want to go to the city wall to take a look?”
A moment later, the two of them almost finished eating the food on the table.
Xu Chu asked Mei Changge curiously.
“Let’s go. We can take a look at the legendary Yue army.”
Mei Changge nodded and then gently nudged the Snow Wolf with his left foot, signaling it to observe the spectacle.
As the two of them stepped out of the inn, they noticed that the streets were sparsely populated. And even if there were people, they seemed to be hastily departing.
Some martial artists even went to the walls of Xiangyang City with swords and sabers in their hands.
“My lord, in the past two days, not only has the Yue army arrived, but Guo Jing has also forged an alliance against the Jin. Do you believe we can contend with the foreign races encircling Xiangyang City?”
Xu Chu asked curiously.
The two of them knew everything about the city over the past two days, including the arrival of the Yue army and Guo Jing’s anti-Jin alliance.
“If it’s just the Jin people, the Yue army alone can deal with them. However, with the addition of the foreign races, it’s hard to say.”
Mei Changge shook his head slightly. It wasn’t that he underestimated the Yue army, but rather because they lacked an understanding of array formations. If they relied solely on their strength in battle, the losses would undoubtedly be substantial.
“My lord, should we make a move then?” Xu Chu asked solemnly..
