The Red Flame Army was still in the city, and by Hou Yuxiao's side, there were not only Chu Kuangren and Lu Kangping, these two Sub-Saints of the Martial Dao, but also at least ten other mighty figures, including Hou Yucheng, Hou Yujie, members of the Lu Family, and Jiangbei Alliance, even dozens of Yinyang Boundary experts and hundreds of Yuan Dan Realm martial artists.

It was definitely unwise to act against Hou Yuxiao at this moment!

Wanyan Jun knew it himself, but he just couldn't swallow his anger.

He, a grand Pingcheng King, one of the six kings of Great Jin, had two million troops at his command when retreating from Dongyuan Path, plus another two million from the four Hou moved from the Capital Region Path, making a total of four million troops, yet he was toyed with by Hou Yuxiao like this.

Reinforcements to Dongyuan Path were false, attacking Lincang City was false, attacking Hulao Pass was false, until half an hour ago, when a regular martial artist, captured by Zuoqiuyuan, the defender of Hulao Pass, was interrogated to reveal his identity as a member of Lu Family's Hurricane Heavenly Army, only then did Wanyan Jun realize.

Those two million soldiers charging towards Hulao Pass were all Lu Family's Hurricane Heavenly Army, and Hou Clan's two million Red Flame Army stayed put within the Lincang Path. Their real target was the capital city.

The capital city is in trouble, the capital city is in trouble...

Once the thought emerged in Wanyan Jun's mind, he immediately realized the great trouble ahead, but he still held a glimmer of hope, rushing to the capital city with Zuoqiuyuan, King Yongwei, King Yucheng, hoping he was wrong, thinking Hou Yuxiao couldn't possibly be this bold.

As they approached the capital city, the piercing bloody aura facing him made Wanyan Jun suddenly understand everything. Seeing Jiang Yuyun sitting on the dragon throne and rewarding officials grandly, his heart sank into despair and he understood what a huge mistake he had committed.

The capital city is lost, and at this critical juncture.

Jizhou is not pacified, and Emperor Yuliang's side is still in the midst of battle.

Hexi is won, however, it's not yet at the point of crushing the alliance army.

While the Fenling Emperor's attack on Liangzhou progressed most, the counterattack from Demon Derivation Holy Sect was relentless.

Losing the capital city at this time by Great Jin would indisputably boost the morale of millions of soldiers and people from alliance states dramatically, and the previous continuously climbing morale of Great Jin would revert, which is fatal for the Great Jin soldiers fighting against the alliance army.

Whether it's Hexi, Dongyuan Path, or Liangzhou, three battlefields of millions in scale, rarely has dispersed forces; most of the time, morale decides the victory.

More critically, to whom the capital city falls, it's not okay, but it's precisely fallen to Hou Yuxiao, and Hou Yuxiao just happened to have Jiang Yuyun in hand...

The restoration of Great Yu, the anti-Jin tide across the states will inevitably surge fiercely.

Why did Great Jin commence a three-front war after last year's New Moon Festival ends?

Certainly, it was because Great Jin possessed the strength, yet conceding this strength could have avoided simultaneous three-front conflicts; even being so dominant, there's still considerable pressure, progressively securing one battle line at a time would no doubt be more prudent.

The reason for engaging in a three-front war was to show the world that Great Jin is strong enough to crush three sides, creating the effect of suppressing the global anti-Jin tide.

People are never afraid of things that aren't much different from themselves; encountering those clearly stronger, they'll muster courage to stand against them by rallying others, but facing unrivaled power they cannot ever surpass, they'll lack much resistance courage.

The three-front war of Great Jin indeed yielded notable results.

The five Holy Lands of the Righteous Path in Yangzhou vowed against Jin, and many did respond, yet most were forces of the five states of the Righteous Path. Other states' responses were negligible, which accounts for the overwhelming press Great Jin's three-front war brought the world.

Countless martial artist forces, including even some heavenly and earth-level forces, still observed, swayed between alliance and Great Jin, and among these forces, at least eighty percent held affection for the Great Yu Dynasty.

Not mentioning martial artist forces, talking about loose cultivators, those with feelings toward Great Yu are at least over ninety percent, since during the earlier Great Yu Divine Dynasty, the strategy endorsed was suppressing martial artist forces and increasing the status of loose cultivators.

People of the world all miss the Great Yu Divine Dynasty.

This statement is no lie!

Once the news of Great Yu's restoration spreads.

To Great Jin, it's fatal.

And all of this was caused by being deceived by Hou Yuxiao.

Millions of troops were led by the nose by those two hundred thousand Red Flame Army in Hexi, foolishly drifting from Jiuhua Dao to Lincang Dao, then rushing towards Hulao Pass, right now the army has just left Hulao Pass, frantically heading towards the capital city...

Guilt, humiliation, anger...Various emotions pressed heavily on his heart, making Wanyan Jun lose total control, ignoring the hundred thousand Red Flame Army below and the many experts surrounding Hou Yuxiao, under countless eyes, he struck out at him.

An eight-thousand feet Illusion City Wu Ling phantom expanded behind him, Wanyan Jun's figure instantly changed to a brass color, becoming like an enraged brass demon statue, diving down towards Hou Yuxiao in mid-air.

Boom...

The formidable aura tore through the space, making the whole capital city land tremble inexplicably, illustrating how intense Wanyan Jun's anger was at that moment.

"Bold!"

Hundreds of thousands of Red Flame Army shouted angrily in unison, thousands of Martial Dao experts released their aura accordingly, and even Chu Kuangren and Lu Kangping blasted their presence, with so many surrounding Hou Yuxiao, if they still let Wanyan Jun break through, they might as well not exist.
