L.O.S.E 27 - The Inevitable War

ARC 1 - Fall to Rise

Two days after the subjugation of the Seven Colors Pagoda, the situation in the Yang Empire was still not conducive. The news of the war with the Tang Empire became increasingly frequent.

That day Queen Yang invited Xing Zhuo as the representative of the white stream and also Lu Shin Rui as the representative of the neutral stream.

Thanks to Baihu's help, Xing Rou managed to save Xing Zhuo, while Lu Shin Rui was the true Rainy Season Valley Matriarch.

Tang Xia helped Yang Ruan to convince all cultivators to be willing to cooperate with them. Given what Yang Ruan had done to protect the Yang Empire, Xing Zhuo was finally willing to help the Yang Queen as well as Lu Shin Rui.

“Your Majesty the Queen, my daughter Rou Router wants to devote her life to you. If you are pleased, he will be a useful person for you.” Xing Zhuo told Xing Rou's wish to Yang Ruan.

‘So he's the owner of the Lotus Goddess Body? I think we'll be familiar..’ Yang Ruan sat inwardly as he observed before staring at Tang Xia asking for permission.

“From the information I heard, his abilities are very useful Brother Ruan. He will be a great partner.” Tang Xia said softly to Yang Ruan.

“Miss Xing Rou, I welcome you.”

Not only Xing Rou but Lu Shin Rui also dedicated his life to helping Yang Ruan. That same day Xu Kai and Liu Bai's positions were taken over by Xing Rou and Lu Shin Rui.

Then they continued the discussion about the large army of the Tang Empire that had already crossed the border. Currently two thousand Tang Empire troops were heading towards the Xudong mainland and this posed a great threat to the Yang Empire.

“Although all parties have joined, the number of our troops is no more than a thousand. The enemy army is two thousand while we are only five hundred men. This situation is very difficult and unfair.” Xing Zhuo clenched his hands in unexpected that this critical situation would befall the Yang Empire.

“If we manage to defeat them, then the damn emperor will think twice to subdue the Yang Empire. We can use that opportunity to attack them.” Tang Xia spoke up and showed high confidence.

“I won't let their plans go smoothly! I guarantee it!”

Seeing Tang Xia behave like this gave everyone high confidence. The information Zhao Tian brought along also provided an advantage as Emperor Tang had only sent one of their generals.

But everyone did not know except for Lu Shin Rui if the large army of two thousand was led by Emperor Tang's confidant. There was General Song Guan, General Lu Xuhen and Commander Fujun.

Hearing this directly from Lu Shin Rui left everyone shocked. It was Xing Zhuo who knew best of Lu Shin Rui's unique abilities because he had led Lotus Mountain for decades.

The thirty-five-year-old woman has the unique ability to talk to animals. This is what made Lu Shin Rui managed to prevent the destruction of the Rainy Season Valley by bringing many of its members to flee during the coup.

Xing Rou who heard this was shocked and thought Lu Shin Rui had the same ability as her.

‘Can Lady Lu see a future like mine? Her words were true as they were.’ Xing Rou said inwardly.

“The enemy exerted his greatest ability and there was one person whose ability was far above the three confidants of Emperor Tang. I intend to scout him further, but the terrible aura he unleashed made me unable to act any further than this.” Lu Shin Rui explained.

Yang Ruan who heard this was also unable to say much. Yang Ruan just faced Shu En right back and had the right solution for all of this.

‘One person this woman is referring to I think she is a member of the Black Dragon Path.’ Tang Xia bathed and clenched his hands recalling his past.

It still flashed clearly in Tang Xia's mind about the one-sided slaughter that the Black Dragon Road had carried out to the cultivators of the Tang Empire.

While the Yang Empire was holding a meeting, the large army of two thousand was resting on the border between the Yang Empire and the Tang Empire.

All the officers were seen gathering and discussing something. One of them seemed to have a great influence and intimidated the higher-ups.

“I joined this squad because I wanted to ensure your success! We have already heard the two cultivators who destroyed the Seven Color Pagoda! My job is to face them!” said the man who was holding a whip.

The man holding the whip was Gao Lu Ma and was a member of the Black Dragon Path. His ability was above the generals of the Tang Empire and he was a Celestial Realm Cultivator who approached the God Realm.

“We will not disappoint the expectations of His Majesty Tang and Mr Long, Senior Gao Lu Ma!” The visible figure of the middle-aged man who was none other than Commander Fujun saluted.

“General Song, what about the surveillance squad we sent? Are they back?” ask Commander Fujun to the person next to him.

“Commander, they have returned and brought surprising information.” General Song Guan said that troops numbering around a dozen people were standing guard in Xudong.

“Do they intend to face two thousand troops with tens of people only?!” General Lu Xuhen responded.

“No, in my eyes they kind of tell us all if they've figured out our plan. I was already suspicious when the slave shipment did not come and especially in Xudong there were no residents. My hunch says the Seven Color Pagoda betrayed.” General Song Guan explained what was on his mind.

“I agree with you, General Song. Tomorrow we will continue our journey and teach them a lesson for having dared to betray the trust of His Majesty Tang!” Commander Fujun smiled coldly while holding his beloved spear.

War is also inevitable. In the next few hours the battle in the Xudong region will take place.
