Chapter 32: Yan Wudi

Inside the central military tent, Yan Chuan summoned Master Wenruo, Mo Yuxi, and Yang Zhijiu. Huo Guang stood to the side.

"Well? Do you have a way to seize the Myriad Wonder Demon Lotus?" Yang Zhijiu asked bluntly.

Yan Chuan looked at Master Wenruo and said, "Seeing your composed expression and air of confidence, Master Wenruo, I presume you have already figured it out?"

"It was something the Saintess Yuxi and I realized together! We were just about to come find you," Master Wenruo replied with immediate courtesy.

"I am not well-versed in geomancy arrays; it was primarily Master Wenruo who devised the method," Mo Yuxi added modestly.

"What? You both have a plan? What is it?" Yang Zhijiu asked, rendered speechless.

"We shall harmonize with the geomancy array, draw upon the energy of the internal dragon vein, and seize the Myriad Wonder Demon Lotus," Master Wenruo explained.

"Harmonize? How?" Yang Zhijiu asked, puzzled.

"This geomancy array draws on the stars to strengthen its power of suppression, but that also provides us with an opportunity. If we can obtain the will of the Army-Breaking Star, we will be recognized by the array. Once that happens, we can channel the energy of the internal dragon vein to retrieve the lotus," Master Wenruo asserted.

"Is that even possible?" Yang Zhijiu asked, surprised.

"Master Wenruo, do you have any interest in the 'Army-Breaking' star?" Yan Chuan asked with a smile.

"My affinity lies with the 'Literary Star.' None of us have designs on the 'Army-Breaking' star. What about you, Young Master Yan?" Master Wenruo asked.

"Me? I have no need for it. However, my First Legion Commander, Huo Guang, could inherit the will of the Army-Breaking star. We have half a month. What do you all think?" Yan Chuan asked.

Beside him, Huo Guang clenched his fists, brimming with excitement.

"Him? Hmph!" Yang Zhijiu looked thoroughly displeased.

"That would be perfect," Master Wenruo nodded.

"Huo Guang is currently at the ninth level of the Strength Realm. Over the next half a month, Lady Mo, as a saintess of the Dazhao Holy Land, you must have abundant resources. Can you help push Huo Guang’s cultivation to the tenth level within these two weeks?" Yan Chuan looked at Mo Yuxi.

"Rest assured, it is only one level of the Strength Realm; leave it to me," Mo Yuxi readily agreed.

"Master Wenruo, your learning is profound. You must be well-versed in triggering the 'First Heavenly Thunder Tribulation' and incorporating the will of the 'Army-Breaking Star.' I shall leave that to you," Yan Chuan said to Master Wenruo.

"It would be my honor," Master Wenruo smiled.

"In that case, let us wait for half a month," Yan Chuan said confidently.

"Agreed," the others nodded.

After everyone had departed, Yang Zhijiu remained in the tent alone.

"Young Master Yang, is there something else?"

Yang Zhijiu looked at Yan Chuan, suppressing the disgust in his heart.

"Young... Young Master Yan!" Yang Zhijiu forced a stiff smile.

"Please, speak your mind, Young Master Yang," Yan Chuan smiled.

"Huo Guang is your subordinate and follows your orders. I would like to ask you for a favor," Yang Zhijiu said with a feigned smile.

"Oh? Do tell, Young Master Yang."

"I want you to help me obtain the 'Myriad Wonder Demon Lotus.' If you succeed, I will reward you handsomely. I could even recommend you to my father and have him accept you as his personal disciple. How about that?" Yang Zhijiu grinned falsely.

"Hahaha, Young Master Yang, you jest. Am I not already helping all of you?" Yan Chuan laughed.

"No, I mean help me obtain it—only me!" Yang Zhijiu urged.

Yan Chuan looked at Yang Zhijiu, his expression carrying a hint of mockery.

"At that time, I cannot say for certain what the outcome will be. If you stay close, Young Master Yang, you will still have a chance to obtain the Myriad Wonder Demon Lotus," Yan Chuan smiled.

"Good, good, good!" Believing Yan Chuan had agreed, Yang Zhijiu was overjoyed.
