Chapter 662: Chapter 662: Expanding the Jade Cauldron Kingdom

"I’m fine, there’s no way this guy could have hurt me."

Wang Yilin confidently declared with her chest puffed out.

To anyone unaware, they might think that Ning Yue was defeated by her.

"Quit your nonsense and quickly deal with these enemies."

Zhao Rushi glanced at Wang Yilin disdainfully before she commanded the City Defense Army behind her to attack the remaining soldiers of the Shuanghan Royal Family.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yilin and Hua Lianxin nodded in response, swords in hand, and transformed into a hurricane, slashing into the vast army of the Shuanghan Royal Family.

With Ning Yue slain by Hua Lianxin, the great army of the Shuanghan Royal Family became like a headless dragon; facing the attack of the Jade Cauldron Sect, they could only flee in disarray.

At that moment, Hua Lianxin released a powerful frigid aura, instantly freezing the Shuanghan army before her.

The soldiers stood like fixed targets, simply at the mercy of the Jade Cauldron Sect’s attacks.

The soldiers of the Shuanghan Royal Family, seeing they had no power to resist, began to beg for mercy, a sign they could only surrender.

Xu San also found himself surrounded by ice spikes, unable to escape Hua Lianxin’s attack. Faced with a hopeless situation, Xu San begged for mercy, now devoid of his earlier arrogance.

However, Hua Lianxin showed no mercy and with one stroke of her sword, she ended Xu San’s life.

Zhao Rushi and Wang Yilin silently thought to themselves that Xu San brought this upon himself.

Though Xu San was a Direct Disciple of Hong Yanbing, if Hong Yanbing knew of Xu San’s betrayal, it’s doubtful that he would have continued to protect the traitor and might have even personally purged him.

"What should we do with these guys?"

Lian Tianxing stood with his sword in front of the Shuanghan Royal Family’s army.

Guarding the city was his responsibility. Although he was a disciple of Xu Ma’an, he also had his own opinions.

These people had committed a capital offense by attacking Cloud Sky City at such a time.

But since Zhao Rushi was his master’s uncle, Lian Tianxing still chose to ask for her opinion.

If Zhao Rushi was livid over the offense caused by Xu San and others, commanding him to execute all the soldiers of the Shuanghan Royal Family on the spot, Lian Tianxing would not hesitate.

"I’ve always just focused on Alchemy matters; the rules in the military differ from those in our Jade Cauldron Sect. Handle them as you see fit."

Zhao Rushi spoke indifferently, and did not take out her frustrations on the Shuanghan Royal Family soldiers.

If Zhao Rushi was truly angry, it was directed towards Xu San.

Now that Xu San was dead, Zhao Rushi naturally would not hold onto her anger.

Besides, as this was a military affair, it was improper for Zhao Rushi to intervene too much.

"Alright, then let’s wait for His Majesty’s decision when the time comes."

Lian Tianxing nodded in agreement, deciding to set aside these matters for now and commanded the people to temporarily detain the captives for Lin Chen to make a final judgment later.

...

After the front lines had calmed following the battle, Lin Chen spent a day reorganizing the troops and treating the injured.

Early the next morning, Lin Chen led the army in a direct assault on Zhangyang Country’s forces.

An end must be put to Zhangyang Country’s aggression against Cloud Sky City.

Otherwise, even if Red Soul Hall did not pose a threat to the Jade Cauldron Sect, Cloud Sky City would continually face trouble from Zhangyang Country.

Therefore, Lin Chen decided to take the offensive.

Armed with Heaven-grade Treasures and the Cultivation of the Heavenly Human Realm, the human-shaped puppets made the army of Zhangyang Country stationed at their base incapable of resisting the Jade Cauldron Kingdom’s assault.

Zhangyang Country had only seven Heavenly Human Realm warriors left, including Li Chu.

Under Lin Chen’s command, these seven Heavenly Human Realm warriors did not pose a significant threat.

In the battle, Li Chu was gravely injured by Lin Chen and then abandoned Zhangyang Country’s army, using various methods to escape.

Another Heavenly Human Realm warrior managed to escape, but this was intentionally allowed by Lin Chen.

The remaining Zhangyang Country Heavenly Human Realm warriors were all eliminated by Lin Chen and his allies.

As for the army of Zhangyang Country, it suffered heavy losses during the resistance, and the surviving soldiers scattered and fled.

Lin Chen then left some of the Jade Cauldron Sect’s troops stationed at the border, while he himself led the rest of the army back to Cloud Sky City.

"Your Majesty, why don’t we pursue the victory and annihilate Zhangyang Country’s entire army?"

Luo Yu was full of doubts and asked Lin Chen.

After all, they had an overwhelming advantage at that time, and by continuing the pursuit, they could have completely wiped out all the troops sent by Zhangyang Country.

Lin Chen shook his head lightly; he naturally had his reasons for doing so.

Although Luo Yu and the others did not understand, Lin Chen knew that Zhangyang Country was backed by the Red Soul Hall.

If the Jade Cauldron Kingdom displayed excessive strength, completely annihilating Zhangyang Country’s army would surely alert the Red Soul Hall.

But merely repelling Zhangyang Country without total destruction was a different matter entirely.

Lin Chen did not keep his thoughts to himself and shared his reasoning with Luo Yu, Xu Ning, and others.

Their reply was, "Your Majesty is wise."

Lin Chen just waved his hand in response, not considering this to be particularly insightful but rather a means of survival.

The strength of Jade Cauldron Kingdom was still weak; compared to Super Powers like the Formation Sect, Divine Flame Alliance, and Red Soul Hall, the Jade Cauldron Kingdom could be easily defeated at any time.

After returning to Cloud Sky City with the army, Lian Tianxing immediately reported to Lin Chen the betrayal of Xu San and his collusion with the Shuanghan Royal Family.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen instantly led his army to the Shuanghan Royal Family.

Now, if the Jade Cauldron Kingdom did not provoke trouble, the Shuanghan Royal Family seemed intent on causing trouble themselves.

Lin Chen had been worried about where to expand and strengthen the Jade Cauldron Kingdom and here the Shuanghan Royal Family was, presenting themselves as an opportunity.
