Chapter 1950 - 1954: A Two-Pronged Approach

"Twelve Immortal Pills, haha, finally in hand. Fei teacher, thank you very much."

At Murong Feili’s residence, when Qin Tian took the twelve Immortal Pills from Murong Feili, he felt immensely gratified, as Lu Qing and the others’ wish for immortality was finally fulfilled.

"Then I’ll be leaving early tomorrow morning, Fei teacher, let’s meet more in the future. If you want to come to the Demon Clan, contact me anytime, I’ll welcome you with open arms."

Qin Tian said with a cheerful smile to Murong Feili.

Murong Feili looked somewhat reserved, as if holding some unspeakable concerns, giving Qin Tian a faint smile, she said, "That is what you said, if I do come to seek refuge with you, you cannot shut me out."

"How could I? I might refuse anything, but I would never refuse a beauty, especially an Alchemist beauty, haha."

"You really don’t seem like the rumored majestic and renowned Fei’er Marquis Qin."

Seeing Qin Tian’s relaxed and playful demeanor, Murong Feili pursed her lips and said, "I won’t see you off tomorrow, take care on your journey. If you return to the Imperial City... remember to tell me."

...

The next day, Qin Tian quietly left Murong Feili’s residence, disguised as a passerby, intending to leave through the South City Gate.

Along the way, he encountered several people from the Soul Suppressing Hall arresting others, and many guards from the Fourth Prince’s mansion conducting searches and arrests.

Out of curiosity, he inquired about the news, eventually learning that on the night he stole the Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Pill from the Fourth Prince’s mansion, the Fourth Prince was at the Heavenly General’s mansion celebrating the General’s birthday with a group of confidant scholars.

Later, the Fourth Prince learned of assassins at his home, and returned with a large troop, ultimately falling into a stratagem of diverting the tiger from the mountain, and the Heavenly General’s mansion was massacred, with the Fourth Prince losing over a dozen key confidant ministers!

"So the Fourth Prince was tricked that night... haha."

Qin Tian shook his head with a wry smile, remembering his suspicion towards Murong Feili that night.

Murong Feili vehemently denied it, but Qin Tian couldn’t understand whether someone truly overheard his conversation with Murong Feili, or if he was indeed being used by Murong Feili?

If it was the latter, why did Murong Feili use him?

And who were the masters who nearly exterminated the Heavenly General’s mansion? What was their relation to Murong Feili?

Having visited the Imperial City, Qin Tian felt that the waters ran too deep.

The Fourteenth Prince, Qin Tian, couldn’t see through it.

Now, he also couldn’t see through Murong Feili.

However, fortunately, regardless of whether he was used this time, the Fourth Prince suffered a double blow, and this outcome was quite satisfying.

On the way back to the Demon Clan, Qin Tian learned that due to the massacre at the Heavenly General’s mansion in the Imperial City, the Fourth Prince expedited the return of the War God to the Imperial City to take control of the situation.

Before Qin Tian could leave the Tianyuan Dynasty’s territory, the War God was already in the Imperial City.

After returning to the Demon Clan, Qin Tian immediately transferred all his people from the Demon Capital to Black Cloud City.

Since the War God went back and the Fourth Prince encountered significant trouble in the Imperial City, the time was ripe for Qin Tian to reclaim his occupied West State!

Of course, Qin Tian now adopted a dual approach: on the one hand, continuously holding meetings with Zhou Yang and others to discuss the advancement into West State.

On the other hand, Qin Tian instructed Du Qiuniang, Qiao Wenxuan, Murong Fei, and Yin Susu, the women who had some downtime, to find portals within the Demon Clan territory that could transport them back to the city.

Now that the Immortal Pill was obtained, it must be sent back as soon as possible, otherwise, Qin Tian didn’t want to see Lu Qing turn into an old hag the next time he met her.

After reorganizing in the Demon Clan, Qin Tian’s army now had about 320,000 people, with his core Qin Family troops expanded to 500 people.

As the Qin Family troops were still insufficient, Qin Tian continued to have Duan Xiaodao recruit more soldiers, financing this expansion with the Storage Bags filled with Spirit Stones and jewels conveniently taken from the Fourth Prince’s secret chamber.

"Boss, the War God has already returned to the Imperial City with his direct lineage troops. Now, the General left behind in West State is called Zhou Wushuang, a veteran who has followed the War God in battles for many years, leading an elite force of 1,000 soldiers reputed for their formidable combat strength."

Zhou Yang reported the military situation in West State to Qin Tian, "Currently, after the War God and his troops left, West State still has over 300,000 troops, among which at least 50,000 are hastily assembled with relatively weak combat capabilities."

"The West Capital garrison has 200,000 troops, while the remaining 100,000 are distributed along the borderline between West State and the Demon Clan. Their intentions are clear, not worrying about the rear or the Demon Clan, but solely guarding against us."

"Moreover, they are in a position where they can advance or retreat, holding the geographical advantage."

Listening to Zhou Yang’s analysis, Qin Tian said, "If we attack, we have an 80% chance of taking West State, right?"

Sitting on the other side, Zuo Yuanhao said, "Marquis Qin, if we really go all out, West State can definitely be taken. The main issue is how much force we’ll need to take it, how long it will take, and how we’ll handle the aftermath if the Fourth Prince sends the War God to suppress us afterwards. These are the key points of this battle."

"Zuo advisor is right, the key is how to handle the aftermath," Xu Kuan also said.

Che Aijun took a deep breath and said, "Last time our army was disastrously defeated, if we want to take back West State this time, Marquis Qin, I request to be the vanguard!"

Saying this, Che Aijun stood up.

Xu Kuan also rose, joining Che Aijun in a salute, and said in unison, "Please, Marquis Qin, give us a chance to avenge our previous defeat!"

Qin Tian laughed heartily and waved his hand, "No rush, you will get your chance. This time the War God is not around, only a confidant of his, Zhou Wushuang. Hmm, if we take him down, I wonder if the War God would feel the pain."

"Alright, the matter of attacking West State will be decided jointly by Zhou Yang, Zuo Yuanhao, Zhao Lanjin, Xiao Zhuang, and Xu Kuan, regardless of troop deployment, timing, or strategy, you five must reach consensus before taking action."

Qin Tian arranged, "By the way, I’m only giving you 200,000 troops and the True Qi Artillery Troop."

Lin Yu said, "Boss, what about the Qin Family Army?"

Qin Tian smiled slightly, "The Qin Family Army won’t move, and will temporarily continue training under Duan Xiaodao."

The plan to counterattack West State began to be devised among Qin Tian’s confidant brothers.

Qin Tian pondered thoroughly, feeling this task wasn’t particularly difficult, thus he didn’t need to take the helm personally.

Conversely, he wanted to calm down and focus on his cultivation.

Acquired a copy of the "Burning Sky Technique."

In the Dan Tian Qi Sea, a miraculous Divine Elephant Suppressing Heaven Tower appeared.

This counted as a significant encounter, so why couldn’t he advance to the Flying Immortal Realm?
