Third time in Martial Emperor City, it was different from before. Due to the pressure from the Eastern Ying Japanese slaves army, the whole city was very depressed and filled with a chilling aura.

Martial Emperor City guards in black armor, as well as Yan army soldiers, were seen everywhere. Although there were still many people in the usually bustling inner city, there was still some difference after all.

Jiang He represented Chen Yuan, and was now second only to Ye Xiangnan in Martial Emperor City. He held the East City token, and a quarter of the Martial Emperor City area was under his control.

There was no one to stop them along the way.

Wherever they went, people saluted them.

Under Jiang He's introduction, he had basically straightened out the current situation. Ye Xiangnan, as the strongest existence, guarded the central hub and controlled all dispatch.

Jiang He guarded the most important East Gate, and he was the most respected in the East District, controlling half of the Martial Emperor City's formations. Feng Jiuge was in charge of the West Gate, mastering the West City's formations.

The Lord of the Ascension Tower and several Refinement God Realm cultivators guarded the North Gate, and another Yang God True Monarch of Martial Emperor City guarded the West Gate.

All four could control the formations and stood at the forefront.

There were nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses in the city now, almost all of them elites. Most of them were the accumulation of Martial Emperor City over the years, and their strength was more terrifying than that of the Yan army.

The main reason for the previous defeat was that the Eastern Ying came too suddenly. Even though they were prepared, they could not stop the immortal from Eastern Ying after all.

His strength was terrifying.

Several top True Monarchs joined forces with the formations, but they were not his opponents. If Lu Chengfeng had not helped from behind, they would have been injured...

Ye Xiangnan's location was not the Immortal Mountain, but directly in the City Lord's Mansion. Without needing to report, the two entered directly. Many officials of Martial Emperor City were extremely busy.

Martial Emperor City did not belong to the imperial court. In fact, it was more independent than the two Kings of the North and South. The City Lord, Ye Xiangnan, had a status in the city no less than that of an emperor.

In order to better control everything, officials were naturally assigned to manage.

Traversing some areas within the City Lord's Mansion, in a short while, the two arrived outside the City Lord's Mansion's council hall. The guards outside the hall had not yet reported.

Ye Xiangnan sensed a trace of the power of rules deliberately released by Chen Yuan, and instantly appeared in front of the two, a hint of relief on his solemn face.

Finally... he's here!

His master went to Lanzhou to guard against the Buddha's attack. Now, he was the strongest in Martial Emperor City. Facing the Eastern Ying immortal outside, even though he was respected as the number one in the world, he had no confidence in his heart.

After all, his title of number one in the world was a bit watery...

It was not obtained through fighting, but because Chen Yuan broke through the sixth realm, he filled the position in order. He did not have the ability to defy the heavens and cut down immortals like the previous two Heaven Ranking firsts.

Therefore, before Chen Yuan arrived at Martial Emperor City, he seemed calm, with everything under control, but in fact he was very panicked.

"King Yan!"

Ye Xiangnan took the lead in cupping his hands in salute.

Not to mention that Chen Yuan's cultivation realm was stronger than him, their positions were already unequal. According to the previous agreement, there would be a battle between them, and the winner would be king.

But now, the gambling battle was no longer necessary. The Yan army under his command had already entered Martial Emperor City. In other words, he was now basically under Chen Yuan's command.

It was just that he had not been officially appointed yet.

"City Lord Ye..."

Chen Yuan returned the salute.

The people behind Ye Xiangnan also saluted Chen Yuan, including a very familiar face, dressed in white, with an extraordinary appearance, and always wearing a smile on his face.

It was none other than Ye Chenbai, the former Lord of the Ascension Tower in Nanling Prefecture.

The two had a good relationship before, and could be considered friends. However, as Chen Yuan's cultivation and status rose, the two were no longer equal.

Even without saying anything, there would be a class divide between them.

Naturally, there were fewer contacts.

"Brother Chenbai, it's been a long time."

Chen Yuan greeted with a smile.

"King Yan."

Ye Chenbai hurriedly cupped his hands. He was well aware of his status. Even though he was valued by Ye Xiangnan and was only one step away from the Dan Realm, the gap between him and Chen Yuan was too great.

Even the ancestor Ye Xiangnan could only bow down, so if he showed too much pride, where would he put Ye Xiangnan?

Ye Xiangnan chuckled, with a glint in his eyes.

As early as when Chen Yuan was on the rise, he casually arranged for Ye Chenbai, a collateral descendant, to be by his side, and now he brought him along to guide him, just to get closer to him.

"King Yan, please."

Ye Xiangnan gestured for Chen Yuan to go first.

Chen Yuan just smiled and did not decline too much. He stepped into the council hall, which was filled with several seats. Chen Yuan originally wanted to sit below, so as not to overstep his position.

After all, strictly speaking, Martial Emperor City was still an ally, and he had to give Ye Xiangnan face.

But Ye Xiangnan was unwilling to do so. Seeing that Chen Yuan intended to sit down, he immediately stepped forward and asked Chen Yuan to sit in the top seat.

"This..."

"King Yan's strength and status are far higher than Ye's. Now, we should naturally take King Yan as the leader. Otherwise, we will not be able to convince the public."

"Well, then I won't decline."

"Hehe, King Yan, please."

Chen Yuan stepped up the steps, turned around, and sat on the first seat similar to a dragon chair. As soon as he sat down, the others seemed to have received a signal and sat down one after another.

Ye Xiangnan was on the lower left, Jiang He was on the lower right, and the rest of the Refinement God and Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators sat accordingly. However, a seat was still left.

It was reserved for Feng Jiuge.

Although she could only surrender due to her defeat, after all, she was once the master of a palace and a Yang God Realm existence. It was impossible to really regard her as a subordinate who could be summoned at will.

"This time, City Lord Ye has finally achieved his wish and ascended to the top of the Heaven Ranking. I haven't had time to congratulate you yet." Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was a bit solemn, Chen Yuan made a joke.

His joke also dissolved the tension of the current siege by the Eastern Ying, and many people breathed a sigh of relief. If the main general was not stable, the subordinates would naturally be more fearful.

If the main general regarded the opponent as nothing, it could instead increase confidence.

After all, Chen Yuan had never been defeated since entering the martial world, and he had fought all the way to his current position, becoming the King Yan admired by all, and countless people respected him.

"King Yan, don't make fun of Ye. Compared to King Yan, Ye is really..." Ye Xiangnan shook his head with a wry smile, not knowing what to say.

Thinking back to their first meeting, Chen Yuan was just a Tongxuan Realm martial artist. It was only when he won the first place in the Hidden Dragon Ranking that he valued him somewhat.

But at that time, he didn't take it to heart.

Now... the situation was reversed, and he, who used to be high above, had to humble himself, which was really hard to say.

"Hahaha, City Lord Ye is too modest. To be honest, when Chen first entered the martial world, he took City Lord Ye as an example, and now he has finally caught up."

"King Yan is a genius, Ye can't compare..."

After a round of mutual flattery, Feng Jiuge finally arrived late. After entering the hall, she saw the young man sitting in the top seat at a glance.

The past was still vivid in her mind, but Feng Jiuge was expressionless, cupping her hands and saying:

"Subordinate greets King Yan."

"Fellow Daoist Feng, sit."

"Thank you, King Yan."

Feng Jiuge nodded slightly and sat in a position similar to Jiang He's, staring straight ahead. It wasn't that she had any opinion on Chen Yuan.

It was mainly because the previous matter was too humiliating. She volunteered to be his concubine, but was rejected, probably because she couldn't compare to the so-called Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Palace. Feng Jiuge was actually very aggrieved.

But today was different from the past, and she didn't dare to act rashly.

"Since Fellow Daoist Feng has also arrived, let's talk about business."

Chen Yuan changed the topic, and the atmosphere in the hall changed accordingly, and they all looked at Chen Yuan.

"I've just arrived, City Lord Ye, please tell me what's going on outside."

"Okay." Ye Xiangnan nodded, pondered for a moment, and said:

"This time, the Eastern Ying launched a large-scale invasion, with as many as hundreds of thousands of people, all of whom are elite martial artists. Most of the essence of Eastern Ying is now gathered in the East Sea.

There are hundreds of Dan Realm grandmasters, more than twenty Transformation Yang Realm True Men, and as for Yang God True Monarchs, according to the information from the Ascension Tower, there are no less than a palmful.

In addition, there is also an immortal from the Yagyu clan, who broke through the joint efforts of Ye and Fellow Daoist Feng and Fellow Daoist Jiang, and is also the greatest threat this time.

Now, the four major city gates in the southeast, northwest, are guarded by Eastern Ying powerhouses, but the immortal from the Yagyu clan is nowhere to be seen. Therefore, Ye is not sure which side he is hiding in..."

After Ye Xiangnan finished speaking, Chen Yuan said lightly:

"Only one immortal?"

"It seems to be so at the moment. As for whether there are other immortals hiding, it is still unknown."

"Da... da..."

Chen Yuan's fingers tapped on the table, his mind constantly thinking.

Although Eastern Ying was called an overseas barbarian land, it was not advisable to underestimate them because of this. He didn't know how many immortals Eastern Ying had gathered this time.

But he had a premonition that Eastern Ying definitely had more than one.

As for whether they had come, it was impossible to determine.

"How are your injuries?"

Chen Yuan looked at Ye Xiangnan, Jiang He, and Feng Jiuge.

"It's not a big problem, it doesn't affect the action." Ye Xiangnan shook his head.

"It doesn't matter."

"It's okay."

Feng Jiuge shook her head.

"Does King Yan have any plans?" Hearing this, Ye Xiangnan's eyes lit up slightly. He believed that with Chen Yuan's consistent style, he would not fight unprepared battles.

Chen Yuan suddenly smiled and shook his head:

"What plans are needed? As long as you can still fight, stop those Yang God True Monarchs and Transformation Yang Realm True Men from Eastern Ying, no plans are needed.

As for that immortal, leave it to me."

If the strength was insufficient, various plans were naturally needed to eliminate some of the gap between the two sides, but to be honest, Chen Yuan didn't like this very much.

That was just a last resort.

Now, his strength was enough, and he didn't need any plans at all. He could just push through directly.

After his breakthrough, he felt that he could deal with the top Human Immortals with Three Flowers Gathered at the Crown, but he hadn't found anyone to test it yet. The Eastern Ying immortal was his whetstone.

Even if the other party had plans, he was not a vegetarian either. Who didn't have some trump cards?

Once the imprint of the Great Ancestor was released, gods would be killed if they blocked, and Buddhas would be destroyed if they blocked.

This was also his confidence in switching positions with Lu Chengfeng, feeling that he could solve this trouble in a short time and then go to support other defense lines.

Chen Yuan's confident words immediately made the atmosphere in the hall stagnant, and their pupils were full of shock, sensing a strong confidence.

If it were someone else, they would naturally scoff at it.

Who do you think you are, capable of defying the heavens and cutting down immortals?

But when the person speaking was Chen Yuan, according to his past record, it seemed... nothing was impossible. The one from Eastern Ying was an immortal, and King Yan was also an immortal.

Although he had just entered the sixth realm, there were not no immortals who had died in his hands.

On the contrary, they felt more at ease.

Ye Xiangnan opened his mouth, and remained silent for a moment:

"King Yan is mighty."

"Good."

Jiang He nodded.

"Since everyone has no objection, then City Lord Ye will represent us and send a message to the Eastern Ying, saying that I, King Yan, have personally arrived at Martial Emperor City, and will fight the immortal of the Yagyu clan of Eastern Ying tomorrow.

If you have the guts, fight me, if you don't, get out of the Central Plains!"

"How can the Central Plains and Divine Continent allow Japanese slaves to trample on it!"

Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, word by word.

"Understood!"

Ye Xiangnan's face straightened, and he cupped his hands and clasped his fists.

Jiang He had a smile on his face. Such an overbearing Chen Yuan was the Chen Yuan he had always supported. Feng Jiuge pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Pass down King Yan's order, Martial Emperor City, prepare for battle!"

Ye Xiangnan waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice.

"Understood."

"This subordinate obeys!"

"This subordinate obeys!"

......

Liangzhou, outside Jianmen Pass.

Three figures stood in the void. From left to right, they were King of Northern Liang, Wei Jinfeng, the demon monk Moro, and the Old Celestial Master of Wudang Mountain. The three stood in a row, with solemn expressions.

"The flames of war have ignited on the grassland. The Wangting Allied Forces are less than five hundred miles away from Jianmen Pass. This time... it's dangerous!" Wei Jinfeng's expression was solemn. He finally understood Chen Yuan's words about being careful of the movements on the grassland.

It really... came!

He had caught up with a battle that had not been seen for hundreds of years.

This was a disaster for the people of Liangzhou, but it was also a blessing for him, a king with a different surname who was determined to guard the border of the Central Plains. As a soldier, he should naturally die on the battlefield, fighting bloody battles.

"The three major Wangting have all come out, and the grassland has become one. This is something that happened thousands of years ago. Now, it's really somewhat similar. I only hope that King Yan can save the Central Plains like the Chu Taizu."

The Old Celestial Master said in a deep voice.

"No matter what, we can't let the grassland army enter the Central Plains." Moro said softly.

"Hehe, that's natural. My Wudang Mountain is not built for nothing."

"Has the benefactor prepared the formations here?"

"Fellow Daoist Moro, rest assured. From the moment I received the sound transmission, I used the foundation of Wudang Mountain, and I will definitely make these barbarians stumble badly."

The Old Celestial Master's face was cold, and he snorted softly.

"That's good."

Moro nodded.

"I just don't know when King Yan will arrive." Wei Jinfeng said casually with a solemn expression.

"After the Martial Emperor City is finished and the Eastern Ying are driven out, he will definitely come here. Benefactor Wei, rest assured, we have reinforcements."

"Hehehe... I naturally trust King Yan's promise. I only hope that he doesn't come too late..." This time, the pressure was several times greater than before, so he couldn't help but be cautious.
