Chapter 166 Self-Deception
Within the empire, there are still many independent sects that exist. Perhaps the emperor himself has personally arranged for some hidden experts to come and assist them?
In their empire, there are still many unknown hidden sects.
Perhaps the few individuals in front of them are from a certain sect, some unknown powerful individuals. It is normal for them to not understand.
"Seniors, are you experts sent by the hidden sects?"
"Thank you for saving us. If it weren't for your appearance, I think the psychic starship sent by the Falling Star Empire this time would have caught us off guard and defeated us!"
Among the generals, a scar-faced man solemnly bowed.
Judging by his age, he was probably around sixty years old, yet he referred to Chu Qianqiu as a senior and dared not be disrespectful.
Because he understood that many powerful individuals could maintain their youth forever, and often, the stronger they were, the less they could be judged by appearances.
....
Chu Qianqiu glanced at the people present and understood that they had imagined their own identities, but it was also just right.
"Yes, we have come to support you. Where is your current headquarters? We need to inform the prince of some information."
Pretending to be calm and unthreatening, Chu Qianqiu spoke fluently, as if it were true.
Chu Cangxuan was by his son's side and immediately understood what he wanted to do. So, without any explanation, he silently cooperated.
After hearing this, the generals were not surprised or suspicious.
After all, just now, Chu Qianqiu and the others personally killed many powerful individuals from the Falling Star Empire in front of them.
So, if these seniors were not reinforcements sent by the emperor, why would they act so decisively?
"Seniors, this is certainly a small matter."
"Now, the princes are personally overseeing the frontlines and commanding from the rear of the army in the wasteland."
"They should have seen your heroic performance and are waiting for you to meet them."
"However, please show us the Imperial Jade Token for us to inspect. You also have this item, after all, you were invited by the emperor, and the lord will give you the same thing."
General Scar-Face spoke and mentioned an unexpected item.
Chu Cangxuan was taken aback and looked at his son, conveying a message with his eyes, asking if they should take action.
The other side actually requested to inspect the Imperial Jade Token. Did they have it?
It seemed that things were not going smoothly now. Should they take care of these guys first?
"Of course, I have it."
Chu Qianqiu smiled and took out an Imperial Jade Token from his storage ring, then handed it over for inspection.
After General Scar-Face checked it, he handed it back with a respectful expression, allowing Chu Qianqiu and the others to follow him.
"Please follow me, everyone!"
The generals led the way, while Chu Qianqiu and his group followed behind.
Along the way, Chu Cangxuan remained silent, communicating with his son through eye contact, seemingly asking where he got the Imperial Jade Token from.
Chu Qianqiu just smiled mysteriously and used his eyes to answer his father, indicating that Tang Zhao had already arranged everything for him, so there was no need to worry.
....
After a while, they crossed the main battlefield of the border and arrived in a relatively safe desert.
Compared to the previous battlefield filled with corpses, this place was finally a bit more peaceful.
Many newly constructed tents were gathered here.
In the center, three men dressed in silver robes walked out of several giant tents and bowed to the group.
"Are you the reinforcements my father invited? Thank you so much!"
"My father is getting old and he mentioned to us that he hasn't been in contact with some old friends for a long time. Now that we finally see our seniors, we are truly grateful!"
Among the princes, one of them, who seemed to be the leader, politely greeted Chu Qianqiu and the others.
Chu Qianqiu nodded as he listened, surprised at how smoothly things were going. The other party was even leading him on, saving him the trouble of fabricating lies.
Now, he couldn't respond, he could only rely on the other party to speak, otherwise he might reveal his true intentions.
"By the way, seniors, the Falling Star Empire has only sent out their vanguard troops, and the true General of the Nation has not yet been deployed."
"Once their general comes over, it will undoubtedly be a devastating blow to our side."
"Among their generals, there are powerful experts in the Soul Formation realm, whose strength is overwhelming. We can only flee."
"Originally, we planned to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and sneak into the other side of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, where my father set up a killing formation a hundred years ago."
"Once this formation is successfully activated, we can move freely, with our army pressing forward, and the enemy's Soul Formation experts will be suppressed on the spot, causing their cultivation to decline."
"This was supposed to be our advantage, but unfortunately, the enemy reacted quickly and sent out a specially made destructive weapon."
"This starship completely disrupted our original plan, making it impossible for the killing formation to be activated smoothly, and our army was forced to retreat under the bombardment of the starship, suffering heavy casualties."
"Fortunately, several seniors appeared in time and saved our soldiers, allowing us to retreat in time."
"Therefore, I ask the seniors to stay temporarily and continue to lead us in attacking the frontiers!"
"As long as we cross the demonic city above the abyss and successfully reach the other side of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, we can activate the killing formation and achieve the final victory in this battle!"
The prince who was at the forefront spoke passionately and fervently.
The generals present, as well as the elite cultivators waiting around, all raised their arms and cheered, feeling honored to have such powerful seniors join their camp.
Chu Qianqiu nodded after listening, realizing that there was an unexpected surprise in the situation.
It turned out that the reason this declining Rising Sun Empire dared to go to war with the fully powerful Falling Star Empire was because a hundred years ago, the Rising Sun Emperor secretly set up a killing formation in someone else's territory.
As long as this formation was deployed, it could weaken the cultivation of the enemy's powerful experts, and then take advantage of their weakness?
But based on Tang Zhao's account, Chu Qianqiu anticipated the character of this emperor and knew that the formation wouldn't be that simple.
Since it was called a killing formation, wouldn't it be a disgrace if not everyone in the formation was killed?
Presumably, the existence of this formation must have another purpose.
...
"I understand, I will continue to lead you until we reach the center of the killing formation."
"But before that, please hand over the Bloodthirsty Law Weapon entrusted to you by your father, and let me use it."
...
Continuing to cooperate with the other party's performance.
Chu Qianqiu spoke up to ask for the most important item of this trip, avoiding unnecessary complications.
The princes quickly understood what he was referring to and immediately had several generals hand over the item.
"Are you referring to the Bloodbath Demon Flask?"
"This item is indeed the crucial Law Weapon entrusted to us by our father, to be used in critical moments."
"Now that you seniors are here, I want to entrust this item to you, so that this Law Weapon can truly unleash its value."
