Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas StudiosChang Pu’s face went rigid at Ji Fengyan’s words while Zhan Fei’s expression darkened.“Don’t lie. I won’t fall for it,” Chang Pu said.Ji Fengyan shrugged, completely nonchalant towards Chang Pu’s hostility.“Just listen on, and you’ll see if I do need you.”Following that, Ji Fengyan looked straight at Zhan Fei. “Do you know why after investing so much efforts and resources, our Kingdom still cannot locate the demons’ lair?”Zhan Fei smirked but remained silent.

Ji Fengyan twisted the corners of her lips slightly before tapping the ground lightly.“The demons’ nests are not on the Plain of Corpses at all, but beneath it.”Everyone, including Chang Pu, was completely dumbstruck by Ji Fengyan’s pronouncement.“Underground? General Ji, are you joking?” Zhan Fei gave a scornful laugh.“Joke? This is no joke. If you don’t believe me, come with me.” Ji Fengyan smiled.Ji Fengyan’s confidence gave rise to a sense of foreboding in Zhan Fei. However, Ji Fengyan had already revealed the location of the demons’ lair, it wouldn’t look right if he tried to stop her now.“Alright, I want to see for myself how General Ji is able to find those nests hidden underground.”Ji Fengyan chuckled and amassed her entire Wolf Smoke Regiment.

Zhan Fei, Yang Shun and Situ Ba also followed. They needed to ensure Ji Fengyan was telling the truth.After exiting the army camp, Yang Shun discreetly sped up his horse to trot beside the leading Ji Fengyan.Ji Fengyan was riding on Bai Ze, and the snow-white dear was exceptionally eye-catching in the crowd.“General Ji, are you really certain?” Yang Shun had deliberately lowered his voice.“Of course.” Ji Fengyan smiled.Yang Shun continued frowning. Ji Fengyan was really betting all her chips on this. If they really discovered something, Zhan Fei’s scheme would come to naught. But if they found nothing, then… Ji Fengyan would be in deep trouble.Zhan Fei would never let go of such a good opportunity to take Ji Fengyan down.Yang Shun shifted his gaze towards the tied-up Chang Pu. He was riding on a horse with Liu Huo, who was keeping a close watch on him. Follow current on storynovel.net

“Of course it would be best if we find it. General Ji must be careful,” Yang Shun said quietly.Ji Fengyan nodded.The group had been traveling for half a day and the sky had already darkened. Torches were lit to dispel the darkness and light up their surroundings.Zhan Fei had been depressed the entire way. He looked with blazing eyes at Ji Fengyan, who was at the head of the group.“General Situ, look at that Ji Fengyan…”Situ Ba shook his head.Zhan Fei could only shut up.Deep into the night, the troops finally stopped. They were already a certain distance away from the army camp. Ji Fengyan had let the group stop at a piece of barren land with not even a piece of vegetation in sight. They were surrounded only by dirt and sand.“General Ji, don’t tell me the demons are right beneath us now?” Zhan Fei dismounted from his horse and looked around. He felt that Ji Fengyan was just stalling for time.Ji Fengyan landed on the ground. She glanced at Zhan Fei but didn’t bother answering him. She immediately instructed her Wolf Smoke Regiment soldiers to inspect within the perimeter she had marked out.
