“Go ahead, rest for now,” letting go of his woman as he says that, “I’m going to discuss the matters of this evening with First Elder, I won’t disturb you.”


  Staring up to the man’s gaze, Bai Yan eventually nodded and allowed her man to give a peck on the forehead before their separation.

  ……..

  In the study, several elders had already been waiting for their king when he arrived on scene.

  “Majesty,” they arch their fists in respect as the man took a seat on the main chair.

  “First Elder, give me the report to this ancient battlefield.”


  “Yes Sire,” taking a step forward, the senior goes over what he knows. “The enemy troops stationed at the battlefield are all Celestial Rank warriors, most are Bottom Divine with a few that has barely stepped into the Middle Divine stage.”


  Gently tapping the table over this information: “And what about the treasure lost in the ancient battlefield, do you have any information regarding those?”


  “We’re unable to locate any relics so far because our people still haven’t been able to examine the region, but we are able to confirm there are a lot of rare medicinal herbs growing on the land. The soil there is rich with nutrient so it’s quite abundant.”


  Squinting his eyes: “Herbs? That’s good, very good, I can take those and give it to my wife for use. In any case, this ancient battlefield will be mine!”


  First Elder’s mouth twitched at that statement. He could already guess why their king specifically picked the ancient battlefield as the first stage for the invasion – it’s probably for the herbs and treasures to give to the queen!

  “Also, go pick several powerful demons out there to protect my wife.” Di Cang still doesn’t feel completely at ease for leaving so he wants to make an insurance.

  “Yes, Sire.” First Elder arches his fist in compliance.

  Even after all these years, the king’s love for the queen is still deep into the bone, no one can match….

  A moment later, Di Cang speaks again, “This battle on the ancient battlefield, First Elder, you don’t need to participate. I will bring ten other Bottom Divines with me and that’s it.”


  Taken aback by the order, the senior promptly protested: “But why Sire?”


  Sneering coldly: “This battle will inevitably raise the attention of those in the Celestial Realm, I don’t want them to know our full strength so ten is enough!”


  Truth was he alone was more than enough to wipe out the forces stationed at the battlefield. However, he’s not going to waste time mopping up the weaker ones so the ten demons were for that, to handle the ones he couldn’t care less to fight.

  First Elder naturally understood what his king was intending to do and it made perfect sense. It’s never a good idea to reveal all the cards before the final clash.

  “Okay, I’ll make the arrangements.” Not delaying, the senior immediately went out the door to carry out the command and left Third Elder and Fifth Elder exchanging looks among themselves to one side.

  “What are you two still doing here?”


  Shuddering upon the realization of their dismissal, the pair hurriedly cusped their hand: “Yes, Sire.”


  Alone now in the study, Di Cang sat quietly there like he’s brooding over something…..

  Night time.

  This evening was a dark one. Perhaps it’s the raising of the curtain for this great war, but the moon was firmly hidden behind the dark clouds of this night, making it all the more difficult to see anything in the shadows.
