393 Battling Yuan Hong
It was the same as when Zhao Hao led his troops to Mt. Mei.
On Mt. Mei…
The Seven Demons of Mt. Mei had also gathered 3,000 demon soldiers and were coldly looking down at the Shang army.
Jin Dasheng, the water buffalo, said to Yuan Hong, “Boss, what does this Shang General mean? We don’t have any conflicts with them. Since Great Shang has declared war on the Heavenly Court, are they going to attack us as well?”
!!Zhu zizhen, the wild boar, said arrogantly, “Hmph, this General doesn’t know how to appreciate kindness. If he dares to attack the mountain today, we’ll kill him and send him to the Heavenly Court.”
Yang Xian, the wise goat, said while stroking his beard, “Calm down. I don’t think this matter is as simple as you think.”
For a moment, the other six demons all looked at Yang Xian.
Yang Xian pondered for a while and then said, “The war between the Heavenly Court and the Shang dynasty is only a battle between the gods, but it’s still very brutal. We’re not on the side of the Heavenly Court, but we’re not on the Shang side either. I’m sure they are afraid that we’ll join the Heavenly Court, so they sent him here.”
Yang Xian’s words were reasonable, and for a time, the other six also nodded one after another.
Wu Long, the centipede, asked in confusion, “Then what should we do?”
“Mt. Mei has always been the place for us seven brothers. This place is also within the borders of Great Shang. I don’t think there’s a need to make things too difficult for them. However, we should let them see the abilities of us brothers before negotiating with them,” Yang Xian said calmly.
It had to be said that this old goat was quite something. He had even thought of the problem that Zhao Hao had not thought of.
He also knew that he had to fight first to show his strength before talking about anything else.
“Alright, my brothers, bring your demon soldiers and follow me down the mountain to meet the Shang General.”
Yuan Hong, who was sitting at the head of the table, also listened to Yang Xian’s suggestion. He held a stick of water and fire and stepped forward.
The six demons beside him also responded one after another. Then, they led their demon soldiers and followed Yuan Hong down the mountain.
At the foot of Mt. Mei…
Zhao Haogang was ready to lead the army to attack the mountain.
Demonic Qi was rolling on the top of Mt. Mei. Seven Demons, leading thousands of demons, had already come down.
“Prepare to face the enemy.”
Zhao Hao did not panic at all.
After hunting down the gods for the past few days, he had already gained a group of decent soldiers.
Even if he faced some small demons, he would still have the power to fight.
Thousands of soldiers quickly got into formation. Zhao Hao, riding a warhorse, stood in front of the Army.
Soon, Yuan Hong and the other demons arrived near Zhao Hao.
The two sides confronted each other, and the atmosphere was very heavy.
“General, our Mt. Mei has never had any conflicts with the Shang dynasty, let alone massacring the human race. Are you here today to attack us?”
As the wise one among the demons, Yang Xian directly spoke and occupied the moral high ground.
“We had no grudges in the past and have no enmity today. It was your Great Shang that initiated the war and our Mt. Mei is just defending passively.”
If it were an ordinary General, they would have fallen into the old goat’s trap and ordered the attack.
In this way, not only would they lose their sense of justice, but once they lost, they would not even have a place to reason with.
Unfortunately, the person who came was Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao instantly understood the old goat’s words and replied to such a simple plan.
“Greetings, fellow Daoists. I’m the General of Jiepie Pass, and I’ve been ordered to hunt down the rebellious evil gods. When I passed by your precious land today, I found that a few soldiers were missing. Some soldiers said that they had entered Mt. Mei. I wonder if fellow Daoists would do me a favor and release my useless subordinates.”
Once Zhao Hao finished his sentence…
It wasn’t just the Seven Demons of Mt. Mei who were stunned, the soldiers beside Zhao Hao were also dumbfounded!
‘Did someone of us enter Mt. Mei?
‘How many people have gone missing?
‘How come we didn’t know about this!?’
The deputy beside Zhao Hao was about to say something, but he was stopped by Zhao Hao’s gaze.
The problem was immediately handed over to the Seven Demons of Mt. Mei.
Yuan Hong, the eldest brother, looked at his six brothers left and right. His meaning was clear.
‘Which one of you dared to steal their soldiers? Hurry up and let them out. Can’t you see that they’re already here!?’
The other six demons were also staring at each other. They really hadn’t given the order to capture anyone.
Great Shang had declared war on the Heavenly Court, and both sides were at daggers drawn. Only an idiot would provoke Great Shang at this time!
“Big Brother, you know me. I never eat human flesh,” Jin Dasheng said directly.
“Big Brother, you know me. I’ve been in seclusion in my cave dwelling these past few days,” said Dai Li.
“Big Brother…”
The demons expressed their stance that they had never gone down the mountain to capture people.
Yuan Hong’s brows were tightly knitted. He trusted his brothers very much.
Moreover, capturing a human was not a big deal to them. Even if his brothers had captured a few, Yuan Hong would still fight for them.
Yuan Hong immediately replied to Zhao Hao, “General, my brothers and I have never captured your soldiers before. I think your soldiers must have made a mistake. You should go and look elsewhere.”
Mt. Mei was within the borders of Great Shang. Yuan Hong would try his best to avoid fighting with Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao’s expression changed when he heard this.
“How could this be? My soldiers went missing in your Mt. Mei and you want me to look for them elsewhere? Are you trying to take advantage of the fact that Great Shang has no talents and you don’t have to capture them just because you say so? Words are not proof, do you dare to let me enter the mountain and search?”
Zhao Hao’s words instantly made the faces of the Seven Demons of Mt. Mei turn ugly.
Mt. Mei was their lair, and it couldn’t be searched just because someone said so.
Furthermore, it could be that they did not capture any soldiers at all. Even if they did, they would not allow themselves to be mocked by a human in front of their own doors.
“Good, good, good. The Shang dynasty is full of talents. I had no intention to be your enemy, but you humiliated us like this. Today, I will kill you and go to Zhaoge to ask your emperor.”
Yuan Hong was a hot-tempered demon. For the sake of Mt. Mei and his brothers, he tolerated Zhao Hao.
Seeing that Zhao Hao was determined to make things difficult for them, Yuan Hong didn’t say anything more. He immediately flew up and waved his staff toward Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao had been on guard for this.
The moment Yuan Hong charged out, he flew up.
At that moment, Zhao Hao could clearly see Yuan Hong’s cultivation. It was stronger than he had imagined.
‘The peak of the Heaven Immortal realm! Holy sh*t! Is this monkey that fierce!?”
Zhao Hao used his power to create a barrier in front of him, blocking Yuan Hong’s staff.
However, the barrier was also instantly shattered. Zhao Hao’s figure was knocked back several hundred meters by Yuan Hong’s staff.
Blood trickled down the corner of Zhao Hao’s mouth as he said helplessly in his heart, ‘In this world, it was too much of a disadvantage not to have a weapon in hand!’
