Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

```

The night was deep and the world was silent.

However, atop the parapets of Heiya City, there were only a few sparse guards on patrol.

But within the city, it was all hustle and bustle, with patrols of soldiers following one wave after another.

Inside the city lord's mansion.

Xiao Yi once again convened Zheng Le, Hou Sailei, and the generals, his voice grave, "Gentlemen, the decisive moment is upon us!"

"Hm?"

"Martial King Your Highness, now that the Great General's life or death is unknown, we..."

The generals wore faces of concern.

Even though they knew that all of this was part of Xiao Yi's strategy, Zheng Le and Hou Sailei were also showing expressions of worry at this moment.

Despite the fact that Xiao Yi's fame as a warrior had spread far and wide over these past few months.

But that was all about his martial arts talent!

As for leading troops into battle, Xiao Yi was completely a novice!

Xiao Yi directly took out the Commander's Seal.

Clang clang clang!

The generals kneeled on the ground one after another.

As soldiers, obeying orders was their sacred duty.

Xiao Yi said in a cold voice, "Hou Sailei, immediately lead fifty thousand troops around Black Mountain. When the beacon smoke rises, charge the enemy's main camp."

"This subordinate obeys the order!"

Hou Sailei responded respectfully.

Xiao Yi continued, "Zheng Le, you lead fifty thousand troops along the concealed pathway of Heartbreak Cliff to launch a surprise attack, also waiting for the beacon smoke as the signal to strike the enemy's main camp."

"Yes!"

Zheng Le respectfully accepted the order.

Xiao Yi turned to the remaining generals, his eyes narrowing with a hint of cold intent, "The rest of the generals will lead the remaining garrison to defend Heiya City with this prince." After a pause, Xiao Yi summoned Yan Ning, "Yan Ning, how is the preparation for the things I had you arrange going?"

Yan Ning, with a face full of excitement and agitation, came forward, holding a storage ring in both hands, and said in a deep voice, "Reporting back to Your Highness, your subordinate has made all the necessary preparations!"

"Good!"

The gleam in Xiao Yi's eyes was sharp as he said gravely, "Lead the Medical Department personnel immediately and distribute these items. Have our own men take precautions... The net is spread, we just wait for the prey to leap into it!"

......

The night was deep and the world was silent.

Thick clouds obscured the stars and moon above.

Rustle rustle!

In the darkness, Tianlan Kingdom's three hundred thousand-strong army quietly approached Heiya City under the command of Li Tenglong and Geng Jie.

"General Geng, I've always had a bad feeling..." Li Tenglong looked at the vast city looming ahead, furrowing his brow and speaking in a hushed tone.

Geng Jie spoke indifferently, "The National Advisor has personally investigated, there will not be any oversight. All you and I need to do is to act according to the National Advisor's plan, besides..." He looked up at the looming city, "If Zhang Baisheng had not met with any mishap, with his cautiousness he would have deployed heavy troops to defend the parapets. The fact that it is loose on the outside but tight on the inside is proof that something has happened to Zhang Baisheng. This approach is just to make us believe that Heiya City is well defended and deter us from rash action!"

"I hope that's the case!"

Li Tenglong hesitated for a moment, but felt that information personally investigated by Ling Wufengyun should not be wrong.

"You wait here, I'll personally ascend the city wall and dispose of these guards. Once I open the city gates, you all can drive straight in!" Geng Jie's eyes glowed brightly in the darkness.

"Be careful, General Geng!" Li Tenglong said solemnly.

Geng Jie laughed heartily, "Even if this is indeed one of Zhang Baisheng's traps, with my skills I can come and go as I please. Just wait for good news from me!"

Whoosh!

Geng Jie led ten elite soldiers, leaping onto the city walls.

```

The few hundred soldiers atop the city walls were easily slaughtered with the assistance of Geng Jie, who was at the peak of the Golden Elixir Realm, and ten elites from the Shentong Realm.

Geng Jie stuck his head out above the city wall and waved the flag in his hand.

Beneath the city.

Li Tenglong clenched his fists, his eyes sparkling with intensity, "It seems I was overly cautious. Now that the defenses on the city walls have been removed, we just need General Geng to open the gates, then we can drive straight in!"

At the same time…

Inside the city.

Geng Jie looked at the corpses of a hundred guards lying in pools of blood, patted his hands, and sneered, "Just wait until we break through Heiya City, then our army can drive straight in and march directly to the capital of Tianqing Kingdom. I will be the first to set foot in the capital of the Tianqing Kingdom, and the position of a duke will be within easy reach, not to mention my name will go down in history!"

"Sorry, but I'm afraid you won't have that chance!"

As Geng Jie was basking in his smugness, a taunting voice emerged like a specter at his ear.

"Who?"

Geng Jie's face changed dramatically as he looked towards the source of the sound.

Explore hidden tales at empire

He saw Xiao Yi, dressed in white, with his arms crossed and an amused expression on his face.

Those cold eyes were like knife blades, causing Geng Jie a chill from deep within his heart. Xiao Yi's appearance had long been known throughout the ten countries of Nanhuang, and Geng Jie recognized him instantly, "Martial King of the Nation Xiao Yi? Not good, it's a trap..."

"Realizing it's a trap now is too late!" Xiao Yi grinned.

"Run!"

Geng Jie bellowed, trying to instruct his men to scatter.

However…

As his voice fell, those ten men didn't move an inch.

While Geng Jie was puzzled...

Bang, bang, bang!

All ten men fell to the ground, each with a bloody hole the size of a fingernail in their foreheads.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

A silver figure stood upon the head of the closest powerful warrior to him, twisting its body with emerald green eyes fixed intently on him.

It was none other than Little Lin!

Through training during this period, as well as countless Golden Cores Xiao Yi had obtained from slaying numerous experts and fed to Little Lin, it had reached the advanced tier of the fifth stage—comparable to the peak of the Golden Elixir Realm. Besides, its speed was incredibly fast, and launching a surprise attack to solve ten elite warriors instantly was easy.

"Li..."

Geng Jie's mouth flew open, trying to send out a message.

But his voice seemed to be choked off.

It stayed stuck in his throat, unable to come out.

His pupils madly contracted, and as he followed the arm that was gripping his throat, he saw Xiao Yi's expressionless face before him, and heard his cold voice echoing in his ear, "Watch with your own eyes how your troops are completely annihilated!"

"Heh, heh heh..."

Geng Jie struggled furiously but could not break free from Xiao Yi's hold, the despair in his eyes spreading like ripples to fill his entire gaze.

A moment later.

Creak!

The city gate opened thunderously.

Li Tenglong, who had been waiting for a long time, gave the order, and 300,000 soldiers swarmed in, flooding into the city like mad.

Thanks to the massive construction of the city gates of Heiya City, this army of 300,000 surged in like a steel torrent, taking only the time of half a stick of incense to all pour into the city. The surroundings were still darkly packed, and everyone could vaguely see Geng Jie standing atop the city wall, hands behind his back, watching everything unfold.

As soon as the army had fully entered the city, the figure of Geng Jie on the city walls disappeared.

Li Tenglong wore a bewildered expression, "Who has seen General Geng?"

The words had barely left his lips.

When a thunderous boom was heard, the city gates slammed shut, and at the same time, a mocking voice rang out, "Are you looking for him?"
