Chapter 576: Lingxiao Army

The two of them were passionately entangled for the entire night.

Mengyun Wulei had long since cultivated the "Divine Maiden's Desire," so after a round of fervent activity, Ye Wushuang also used "Demon Heart Refining" to begin their Dual Cultivation.

Demon Heart Divine Desire was a type of Bedroom Technique. At first, Mengyun Wulei was too inhibited to try its many embarrassing positions, afraid that Ye Wushuang would think her a wanton woman!

However, as their Dual Cultivation progressed, she cast aside her shyness and pride, losing herself in the experience. She strove to match Ye Wushuang's every move, unhesitatingly complying with even the most shameful positions as long as he desired it.

Afterward, Ye Wushuang stayed at the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop. They had spent the whole night together, and it wasn't until the next day that he learned from Mengyun Wulei that she had already prepared all the necessary funds and resources.

Ye Wushuang hadn't expected this at all.

Thanks to Mengyun Wulei's advance preparations, Ye Wushuang was able to save some time.

With that, he left the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop.

Behind him, the lustful afterglow had yet to fade from Mengyun Wulei's beautiful face. Her jade-like cheeks were flushed red, full of happiness and satisfaction.

Then, a thought struck her, and she called out a reminder, "Now that all the powerhouses of the Celestial Pass are on the move, and you're carrying the Moon God Flower, there's no guarantee a Nirvana Powerhouse won't try to ambush you. I'll have people from the Blood Feather Tower go help you."

The Blood Feather Tower had a significant presence in the Holy City, not just in Nanyang City. Several of its members were even Nirvana Realm powerhouses, and their Assassination Techniques were terrifyingly formidable!

"Not for now," Ye Wushuang said after a moment's thought. "The Blood Feather Tower can serve as a trump card. It's best not to reveal it yet, so our opponents can't figure out our true strength."

"Alright, but you have to be careful. Also, the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop in the Holy City has already transferred most of its funds to King Xiangg City, so you don't need to worry about finances," Mengyun Wulei added.

"Okay. Thank you for your hard work. When all this is over, I'll take you to meet my father." After some thought, Ye Wushuang made her a promise. 'Mengyun Wulei has given so much; I have to give her this promise.'

Instantly, a smile blossomed on Mengyun Wulei's face—a joyful one. Ye Wushuang was willing to take her to meet his father. That was enough to prove he had truly accepted her in his heart!

Ye Wushuang didn't linger on matters of the heart. He turned and left, heading outside.

After leaving the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop, he summoned Elder Demon Bai and the other three, bringing them to Lingxiao Pavilion.

Ye Wushuang trusted these few for the time being and had them lead Lingxiao Pavilion, while he had Feng Jue accompany him.

Feng Jue's Cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds. The awakening of his Saber Demon Body had granted him heaven-defying talent, and with the generous supply of resources from Ye Wushuang, he had already reached the Profound Level.

With Feng Jue in tow, Ye Wushuang headed for the Celestial Wolf Army's barracks.

"Pavilion Master, what are we doing next?"

Feng Jue asked after they had walked for a while.

"Building an army!" Ye Wushuang said lightly. "I'm going to build an army that can conquer the heavens and earth for me, sweeping through all the desolate lands—the Lingxiao Army!"

"The Lingxiao Army?"

Feng Jue murmured, a sudden surge of hot-blooded excitement rushing through his heart.

The Lingxiao Army, meant to conquer the heavens and sweep through all desolate lands. He could tell that Ye Wushuang wasn't just talking; his words were filled with unwavering determination!

Of course, Ye Wushuang didn't tell Feng Jue that he was currently raising the Lingxiao Army in preparation for activating the War Fortress in the future.

Once the resources of the War Fortress were utilized, cultivating an invincible Lingxiao Army would be no problem at all!

However, the prerequisite was that these men had to be one in ten thousand, capable of withstanding the harshest trials. And their test would be war itself!

'It won't be long before the War Fortress can be activated!' Ye Wushuang thought to himself.

As they spoke, the two of them arrived at the Celestial Wolf Army's barracks.

Ye Wushuang had a good impression of this army. Soldiers were iron-blooded, and he had seen with his own eyes how the Celestial Wolf Army had protected the women and children before. He knew it wasn't just for show.

"Brother-in-law!"

Just as Ye Wushuang reached the entrance to the barracks, Guo Yurong appeared at his side.

"Miss Guo, what are you doing here?"

Ye Wushuang was surprised. He hadn't expected Guo Yurong to be here.

"My sister-in-law knew you would be coming to the barracks. She was worried that someone might not recognize you and offend you, so she sent me to smooth the way. I just didn't expect you to arrive so early," Guo Yurong said with a slight smile.

Ye Wushuang nodded. He understood the real reason: she was worried someone might try to put him in his place.

"Since you're here, let's go in together," Ye Wushuang said. Now that Guo Yurong had handed military authority over to him, the Celestial Wolf Army was under his command. If anyone refused to submit, he would just have to beat them into submission.

As they stepped into the barracks, a sky-shattering roar of voices washed over them, like the bellowing of a dragon and a tiger. It threw the very air into chaos, creating Illusions of the two beasts.

An aura of grim, martial killing intent also spread through the air!

Ye Wushuang nodded. The men trained here were all people of firm and powerful character.

"Look! It's the benefactor who defeated the Beastman Army with a single slash!"

Some of the men shouted out the moment they saw Ye Wushuang walk into the barracks.

Among them, some were people Ye Wushuang had saved when he first entered King Xiangg City, while others were relatives of the women and children he had protected.

And some were Celestial Wolf Soldiers!

Those men cupped their fists in gratitude, and some even dropped to one knee, giving him a military salute!

This was a salute generally reserved for generals, or even more important individuals.

"Brothers, please rise!" Ye Wushuang called out.

"Benefactor, you defeated the Beastman Army with a single slash and tore open a Blood Road for us weaklings. You are worthy of this bow."

But some insisted on bowing. And indeed, Ye Wushuang was worthy of it!

They still remembered how Ye Wushuang had cleaved through the Beastman Empire's army with one slash. His single sentence—"Whoever dares to touch a hair on their heads will be annihilated"—had intimidated the thousands-strong Beastman Army.

And under that domineering protection, they had trampled over the corpses of the Beastman Empire's soldiers and charged through the path of death. It had been a heart-pounding experience, and even now, the memory was as clear as day!

"Benefactor, if you have any orders in the future, we will carry them out to the death, without hesitation!"

Thinking of this, the men all roared in unison, shocking some of the onlookers. What kind of person could make this group of soldiers swear such an oath?

"Rise. I did not save you to demand anything in return. Just protect your own families. Don't let them be displaced and fall into the enemy's enslavement," Ye Wushuang said heroically, then turned to leave.

"We will! We will definitely protect our homes!"

The group of soldiers behind him declared firmly, as if responding to a general's command, ready to execute it without a second thought!

This level of determination astonished even Guo Yurong. She couldn't help but give Ye Wushuang another glance, feeling a sense of pride. 'He truly is worthy of being my sister-in-law's husband!'

"Miss Guo, who is in command of this Celestial Wolf Army?" Ye Wushuang asked as they walked.

Guo Yurong replied, "Brother-in-law, are you planning to take command of this army? It's managed by Captain Qian Heng. You just need to say the word to mobilize them."

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang nodded and made his way to Qian Heng's Captain's Camp.

"Miss Guo has arrived!"

Seeing Guo Yurong approach, Captain Qian Heng immediately walked out of his tent with a smile. After all, the Celestial Pass was still under the control of Lady Xiangg.

Lady Xiangg not only possessed stunning beauty but also iron-fisted methods. Even King Mor Luo had to be wary of her.

And since she was Guo Yurong's sister-in-law, one could only imagine Guo Yurong's status!

He walked out with a cheerful grin, but when he saw Ye Wushuang, he clearly froze. An instant later, a thick killing intent flashed in his eyes!

Ye Wushuang caught that flicker of killing intent.

But he didn't understand. 'Why does this man want to kill me?'

"You bastard! I can't believe you dare to come to the barracks. I'll be sure to execute you today!" Qian Heng's expression was grim and hostile.

"Men! These two have infiltrated the barracks! They are spies from the Beastman Empire sent to gather intelligence! Kill them on the spot! Leave no one alive!"

Without another word, Qian Heng roared, slapping them with the crime of being spies and moving to execute Ye Wushuang.

BOOM!

Squad after squad of Celestial Wolf Guards rushed out, surrounding Ye Wushuang and Feng Jue. The sharp points of their long halberds were all aimed at Ye Wushuang.

Instantly, Ye Wushuang's expression turned icy, radiating a chilling aura!
