Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The loss of fourteen thousand soldiers was indeed a significant blow to Chengqi. However, it only managed to dent Chengqi’s strength slightly, far from enough to truly overthrow them.

The next move from Chengqi would undoubtedly be a more relentless and aggressive counterattack, driven by both the need to bolster their morale and seek revenge. Therefore, devising a solid countermeasure was imperative. After makeshift quarters were established by various generals,

The deputy general from Gu Chaoyan’s ranks suggested, “General, we could continue to lay in ambush and inflict further damage, potentially targeting tens of thousands.’

It was a show of admiration that this deputy general, like others in the past, was now addressed as “general.”

“No,” Gu Chaoyan immediately rejected the idea.

“Why not?” The surprise was evident on everyone’s faces. Given the magnitude of today’s victory, this approach seemed highly effective. Why wouldn’t it work?

“Chengqi has suffered a major defeat for the first time. They won’t be so eager to pursue us and risk falling into an ambush again. The border city remains vulnerable at any moment. This method is suitable for catching the enemy off guard once, but it’s not sustainable,” Gu Chaoyan explained.

“So, what should we do?” the deputy general inquired, mirroring the doubts of others.

Gu Chaoyan contemplated the next steps.

What was the best course of action?

A surprise ambush was ruled out, and a direct confrontation was beyond Southern Mist’s capabilities.

Well…

“A surprise assault, ” Gu Chaoyan declared with determination.

“How do we go about that?”

“I will handle this personally. To capture the bandits, I’ll apprehend the prince, the king, and the monarch. I’ll abduct their generals, throwing Chengqi into disarray. Then, I’ll leverage my position to negotiate with Chengqi,” Gu Chaoyan said with a confident smile.

“I’m coming with you,” Gu Chaoyan’s assistant asserted directly.

He believed that there was no harm in accompanying the general. In fact, he saw it as an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution.

“No need, I’ll go alone,” Gu Chaoyan replied.

She was well aware of the deputy general’s intentions, and if he joined her, it would disrupt her plans. Besides, she had a distinct strategy in mind and preferred to go solo.

The deputy general looked disappointed but acquiesced, saying, “Very well.” There would be other chances for him to contribute; he could be patient.

“Do you think you can handle it on your own?” inquired the border general.

“I am a Ninth Heaven Warrior; capturing a Chengqi general won’t pose a problem,” Gu Chaoyan replied confidently.

As darkness cloaked the sky,

She set off without delay.

Gu Chaoyan was not merely a Ninth Heaven Warrior; her true cultivation was that of a Martial God. If she concealed her aura carefully, no one in Chengqi’s border city would detect her presence.

Among Chengqi’s ranks, there were four generals at the level of Chengqi warriors. One of them had self-destructed today, leaving only three. Gu Chaoyan intended to capture two of them and leave one behind, ensuring a balance between Southern Mist and Chengqi.

The human heart’s desires were insatiable.

If Southern Mist gained too much dominance over Chengqi, the Emperor of Southern Mist might harbor ambitions of swallowing Chengqi whole. However, Gu Chaoyan did not wish to see unnecessary loss of life.

Her objective was simply to establish a delicate equilibrium between Southern Mist and Chengqi.

Therefore, she embarked on this mission personally.

Her intention was clear: once these two generals were captured, she had no further plans.

With this determination, Gu Chaoyan approached her target directly.

Her keen senses swiftly led her to the source of their aura.

Subsequently, they located the tents of the two generals.

Swiftly and decisively, she incapacitated them and had them discreetly removed from the area..
