Chapter 168 Mulan's Power
Mulan Qingqing remained silent, knowing that she was overthinking it. There were many things that could not be replaced by the title of her fiancé.
Tang Zhen asked another question, "I heard that you have already collected more than 60,000 Insect Crystals. Is that true?"
Regarding this question, Mai Zhanzhang was a little puzzled, but he nodded politely on the surface and said, "This must be true. It was obtained through real fights and looting, at the cost of nearly a thousand people. The gains from each fight were seen and counted by everyone. This cannot be faked. It is impossible that all the opponents we fought with and were slaughtered by us helped to fake it, right?"
Wan Daoxuan, who sent out the undercover agent, also nodded and said, "Indeed, there is no need to doubt whether the Insect Crystal is real or not."
Tang Zhen stroked his chin and said, "I know it's hard to fake it, but I'm just wondering, the last time we boasted that we got more than 60,000 Insect Crystals, they actually got them. I think it's a coincidence. I remember when we started, so many people spent so much effort and only got a few thousand, but they got more than 60,000 in just ten days."
Li Shanshan sighed, "This is not difficult to understand. There are a lot of insect crystals in the Moon Sea. Many people have risked their lives to fish them out of the Moon Sea. The current number is definitely not on the same level as before. Some sects that are still circling around the Moon Sea have gained a lot of crystals and have become rich."
That made sense, and several people nodded slightly.
Director Mai Zhan also said: "Yes, I think that's the truth."
Mulan Qingqing was concerned about something else, so she asked, "You've been under Wang Sheng's command for so long, what do you think of this man?"
What she wanted to know had nothing to do with relationships between men and women.
However, after these words were spoken, several men looked at them strangely. This was different for their fiancés. They really cared about them.
Director Mai Zhan thought for a moment and said, “To be honest, it’s hard to judge his character, but in terms of ability, he seems to be beyond most people.
Some of the things he did seemed simple, but not everyone could do them. For example, leading thousands of troops to attack with high tempo and precision is no joke. If you give me a group of spies to do it, I don’t think I can do it, and I definitely can’t do it as well as he does.”
Several people nodded slightly after listening to this. They had discussed this aspect before and were amazed at the high accuracy of Wang Sheng's planning. He could make several raids a day and fight for more than ten days without any mistakes. It was impossible not to sigh in admiration.
"There was also the simple drill at the beginning. It seemed simple, but now looking back, it was simply a stroke of genius. Without that resolute drill, there would have been no success in the subsequent battles.
I have also experienced the chaos and wrangling during the large-scale mobilization of troops and horses before the two sides separated. Wang Sheng's simple exercise easily solved many problems of disorder. No matter whether it was a day battle or a night battle, he could command the troops to advance and retreat in an orderly manner with just some simple gestures and lights.
At that time, for that exercise, he secretly killed more than 20 people. We were very dissatisfied at the time. Now looking back, no one blames him. We all think that the exercise was absolutely necessary, and we all think he was a truly far-sighted person.
We can imagine that before the actual battle, even if he explained the effect to us, we probably wouldn't listen. We might think that he, a gigolo, doesn't know anything. Now, everyone is really convinced, otherwise he would have been hard to suppress the previous military remonstration with just a few words. "
Several people fell silent.
"Miss Mulan, how can I put it? I dare not judge his character, but in terms of his ability, I think your fiancé does not disgrace you. He is indeed extraordinary and worthy of you."
When these last words were spoken, Mulan Qingqing was stunned, but Guan Yingjie on the side suddenly looked at him coldly.
When Wan Daoxuan heard this, he almost subconsciously looked at Guan Yingjie's reaction and broke out in a sweat on the spot. "Brother Mai, Brother Mai, why do you have to meddle in other people's family affairs instead of just saying something else? You've got nothing better to do."
He quickly interrupted and said, "Okay, that's it, Brother Mai, I'll take you back."
The Longwu Sect is a sect within his sphere of influence in Lingxiao Mountain, and Chief Mai Zhan is working for him, so he must come forward to protect it.
Director Mai Zhan did not realize the problem. He bowed to everyone and said goodbye. Then he turned around and left with Wan Daoxuan.
Mulan Qingqing fell into a state of melancholy, and recalled Wang Sheng's words at the beginning. He boasted that a group of rabble could become a powerful army in his hands. Now it seems that it is true.
There were some things she originally didn't want to admit, but now her determination has begun to waver. She realized that she might indeed be inferior to others in terms of her own abilities.
Realizing this made her feel very uncomfortable.
Li Shanshan broke the silence and said, "Mulan, the conference is only a few days away, it's time for us to take action!"
Mulan Qingqing, who had come to her senses, also felt ambitious. She nodded and said, "Okay!"
That night, thousands of troops here entered a state of preparation.
The next day, based on the information from the spies, Mulan Qingqing gave an order and several troops distributed around the Moon Sea moved one after another and moved towards the same location.
Their target is the people of Jizhou, whose number of troops is second only to that of Xuanzhou. The other side has nearly two thousand people. Although it is a force assembled from multiple forces in Jizhou, it should not be underestimated.
The Xuanzhou troops led by Su Yuanzong had long since set their sights on this fat sheep and had been keeping a close eye on it. They had already made the decision that once they took action, the first battle would be to target the fattest one.
As the Xuanzhou troops deliberately spread threats, the Jizhou troops immediately became nervous. The troops that had been separated into several groups quickly gathered together, but this played into the hands of the Xuanzhou troops, giving them the opportunity to complete the encirclement in one fell swoop.
This can be considered as learning from Wang Sheng and others. It is boring to play one by one, so just take them all in one go.
As soon as the encirclement was completed, Mulan Qingqing gave an order, and Xuanzhou's strongest elite troops rushed to one point at the same time. The moment the two sides saw each other, a brutal fight began.
In front of the mirror image of the royal capital, everyone is paying close attention.
From the moment Xuanzhou's elite troops began to be mobilized, all parties realized that the action was about to begin. So Xuanzhou's Lord Chi Rang would take targeted measures every once in a while. Sure enough, it had begun!
Judging from the overall battle situation in the mirror image, Chi Rang frowned. It seemed unwise for three or four thousand people to besiege two thousand people. If the siege was not carried out with a number several times that of the enemy, it could hardly be considered a siege because it was difficult to complete.
The Lord of Jizhou, who was present at the scene, rushed over after hearing the news. Upon seeing this, he slapped the armrest of the chair and started cursing at Chi Rang, but the latter turned a deaf ear to him.
The elite offensive force organized by Xuanzhou was indeed extraordinary. The moment the two collided, it was like one tide overturning another tide, and the situation became one-sided in an instant.
Wan Daoxuan and others also led the charge, and Lian Guan Yingjie also rushed into the battle formation at the first opportunity, specializing in sniping masters. This was not available in the previous tactics. Earlier, Su Yuanzong just circumvented the enemy's formation.
It was also Mulan Qingqing's request, saying that the besiegers were too few in number and that a single move would overthrow the enemy's morale.
The effect was indeed obvious. The reputation of Xuanzhou, led by Su Yuanzong, and the overwhelming momentum they displayed instantly destroyed the morale of Jizhou's troops.
"Hand over the Insect Crystal and I won't kill you!"
"Hand over the Insect Crystal and I won't kill you!"
There were waves of threatening slogans.
No one would shout "surrender and you won't be killed". In such a situation, people from the sect cannot surrender. Surrendering will bring shame to the entire sect, and they will hardly escape death if they get out.
Seeing that the defeat was irreversible, someone rode the Wind Scale with a bulging black bag into the sky, intending to escape.
However, there was already a great god waiting in the sky, standing in the air with his hands behind his back, his clothes as white as snow, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, it was the cold and icy Mulan Qingqing.
But she swept her cold eyes, let go of her hand and flicked her fingers to draw the sword. The long sword came out of the sheath with a clear sound and suddenly shot towards the target. The speed was so fast that it turned into a stream of light in an instant. With one sword, she broke the spinning wind scales in mid-air, and the scales fell in chaos.
Those who had lost the power to fly were terrified when they saw Mulan Qingqing taking action personally, and they quickly fell to the ground.
But he saw the sharp sword light turned and shot towards him again. He twisted his body and barely dodged it. The sword paused in mid-air and suddenly shot back.
In front of the mirror, countless people gasped. In their eyes, they only saw sword lights rapidly shooting back and forth in the air from different angles, attacking one person non-stop, and soon the sky was stained with the blood of the person being attacked.
The sword pierced through the man's chest, and several figures with silver light stabbed him with swords and held his trembling body in the air.
The sword light bounced back from the air and returned directly into the scabbard on Mulan's waist with a swish. She floated in the air without moving a step.
Several silver-glowing figures drew their swords, and amid splattering blood, they dismembered the man in mid-air with their swords. A silver-glowing figure holding those bulging black bags flew into the air and stood behind Mulan Qingqing, like a fantasy attendant.
The rest of the Silver Light people suddenly disappeared, and then suddenly reappeared from time to time. Whenever someone tried to escape, a Silver Light assassin would instantly appear beside him and kill him unexpectedly. The deceased didn't even know where his opponent was before he died.
He carried out assassinations in quick succession, killing more than a hundred people in just a dozen breaths, teaching those who did not believe in evil what terror was.
Although Mulan Qingqing, who was floating in the air and ignoring the earth, did not move, she was worth thousands of soldiers and frightened countless people below.
With her own strength, she forced no one on the battlefield to dare to flee in the air, and they could only face the enemy force that was twice their number and charge forward to break through.
The prestige of Shengshenzhou's largest sect was fully displayed at this moment, and countless people were frightened in front of the mirror.
Su Yuanzong's elder Ji Qinghe nodded with satisfaction.
The disciples on both sides looked around at everyone, feeling proud. They felt that the face they had lost because of Chao Zhilin's murder was now back.
Chi Rang, the master of Xuanzhou on the best stand mountain, stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly, smiling and said: "No wonder you dare to launch a siege with such a small number of people. It turns out that you have cultivated to such a level. You are extremely talented. Mulan has given birth to a good daughter today."
He is satisfied.
The Lord of Jizhou looked unhappy as he witnessed the massacre of Jizhou's people but was powerless to do anything about it.
Young Master Nan in the next stand stared at the mirror image, clenched his fists, and his face became even uglier, as if he had lost his parents.
