You were driven out of the capital at the start, and you ask me why I rebelled?

Chapter 391 Bet

Murong Haoxuan knew that keeping his men on the battlefield would only increase casualties, so he didn't hesitate and immediately ordered the army to withdraw.

After receiving the order, the Qin army, which was fighting the sea creatures, had some doubts, but did not hesitate at all and withdrew from the battlefield one after another.

When the sea creatures saw that the humans they had been fighting had retreated, they immediately set out to pursue them and try to catch the drowning dogs.

Gui Jiao noticed that although these humans had retreated, they did not show any panic during the retreat, which did not seem like they were no match for them.

Fearing a trap, he immediately ordered the sea creatures to cease their pursuit.

"Boss, why did we stop the pursuit?! Those humans are clearly on the verge of collapse from our attack. If we had pressed our advantage, we could have wiped them out..."

A sea creature with a shark's head came to Turtle Pride's side and said with a puzzled look on its face.

He was carrying two serrated knives, from which blood was still dripping, clearly indicating that many Qin soldiers had just died by his blade.

"Although these humans have retreated, they retreated in an orderly manner, not like a rout. If we pursue them, we'll likely be ambushed. Moreover, most of our soldiers cannot stray too far from the sea, otherwise their fighting strength will be greatly reduced..."

Gui Jiao said in a deep voice.

His green skin was covered with a layer of water stains. Not only him, but most of the sea creatures were the same. They could not leave the sea, otherwise their strength would be severely reduced, and in severe cases, their lives would be endangered.

Of course, if one is powerful enough, these effects can be ignored.

However, it's definitely not pleasant.

"Shalin, go and investigate yourself to find out what these humans are up to. Report back immediately if you find anything..."

For some reason, Gui Jiao had a bad feeling; he sensed that something big was about to happen.

Still worried, he sent the shark-headed demon from earlier to investigate.

Sharlin was a cultivator at the Void Refinement Realm. According to what they had learned over this period of time, the highest cultivation level among the humans on the other side was only at the Void Refinement Realm. Even if they encountered danger and were defeated, they could still run back.

"Here!"

Sha Lin immediately accepted the order and chased after the retreating Qin army without any attempt to conceal his presence.

In his view, those humans posed no threat at all.

He swaggered after the Qin army, occasionally launching an attack, and then burst into wild laughter.

"hateful!"

A powerful figure from the Qin Dynasty, unable to tolerate his arrogant demeanor, immediately challenged him to a duel.

However, the people next to him stopped him.

"Ignore him for now. Since he wants to go, let him go! He'll get what's coming to him later..."

Unlike ordinary soldiers, these generals knew a lot, including why Murong Haoxuan had ordered them to retreat.

The generals couldn't help but laugh at the thought of the terror of those armies.

Hopefully, this sea creature will remain as arrogant as it is now.

The Qin army advanced all the way and soon arrived at the place where Cheng Yaojin and his men were.

However, at this moment, there were only the three of them; the Qin army was not present.

"General!"

Several generals arrived and respectfully bowed to the three men.

"Alright! Take the soldiers to rest! We don't need you here anymore..."

Murong Haoxuan nodded and spoke to the generals.

"Here!"

These generals had no objections and led the army directly towards the rear camp.

At this moment, Sha Lin also noticed Cheng Yaojin and the other two.

He stopped and looked at the three people. Among them, he could only tell that Murong Haoxuan was a cultivator at the Refinement Realm, but he couldn't tell anything about the other two.

He frowned, looked at Cheng Yaojin and the other two, and shouted, "Are you the commanders of these armies?"

Murong Haoxuan looked at Cheng Yaojin and the other man, wanting to see how they would deal with this sea creature.

Cheng Yaojin completely ignored Sha Lin, instead chatting with Chang Yuchun without even glancing at him.

Sha Lin felt offended. He was, after all, a Void Refinement Realm expert. Wasn't their behavior a bit too disrespectful to him?

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and the serrated knife in his hand trembled slightly.

"Humans, you will pay the price for your arrogance..."

After saying that, he disappeared from the spot and reappeared in front of Cheng Yaojin and the other two.

He brought the serrated knife down on Cheng Yaojin's head. He had disliked this simpleton for a while, so he decided to make an example of him now!

When Cheng Yaojin saw that Sha Lin had chosen him as his target, he immediately looked displeased. Did Sha Lin look like someone who was easy to bully?

A mere Void Refinement Realm cultivator dared to attack him.

Thinking of the bet he had just made with Chang Yuchun, Cheng Yaojin became furious.

Cheng Yaojin slightly raised his hand, then gently lowered it.

Sha Lin's eyes widened in shock. He realized he couldn't move and could only watch helplessly as Cheng Yaojin's slap grew larger and larger in his eyes.

Bang~~

Sha Lin's body was directly smashed into a bloody mist. Cheng Yaojin waved his hand dismissively, dispelling the bloody mist.

"Hahaha! General Cheng, it seems I've won this bet. Remember, you've lost two jars of Bailing Wine to me. Give them to me when we get back!"

Chang Yuchun, who was standing nearby, burst into laughter upon seeing this.

He had just made a bet with Cheng Yaojin, betting on who the sea creature would attack first, with the stake being two jars of Bailing wine.

Cheng Yaojin said with a gloomy face, "I know, I know!"

The Hundred Spirits Brew was the spirit wine that Ying Chen used when he hosted Huangfu Sixuan and others in Yaori City.

This spirit wine is extremely precious and is only available to the royal family. Apart from daily rewards, it is only given as a reward to generals of the Great Qin after they have rendered meritorious service.

However, Cheng Yaojin didn't achieve many merits to begin with, so he didn't have much of his Bailing wine.

Moreover, this is not just a spiritual wine, but also an honor.

The generals of the Qin Dynasty took great pride in whoever obtained the most Bailing Wine.

Now that he has lost two jars to Chang Yuchun, how could Cheng Yaojin not feel heartbroken?

"Hahaha! Don't be upset. After you complete this mission, do you think the Emperor won't reward you?"

Chang Yuchun put his arm around Cheng Yaojin's neck and said with a grin.

"Hmph! I'll let it slide this time. Business is more important. As the commander-in-chief, I now order you to immediately lead the army to attack those sea creatures. If you fail to annihilate them, I will certainly report to the Emperor and have you punished for dereliction of duty..."

Cheng Yaojin slapped Chang Yuchun's hand away and said with a stern face, "Of course, this is just a joke. We will not really punish Chang Yuchun. Moreover, with their strength, annihilating all these sea creatures would be a piece of cake."

When Chang Yuchun saw Cheng Yaojin's face change so quickly, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth. If he weren't currently serving under Cheng Yaojin, he would have kicked him a couple of times already.

Hmph! I don't believe you won't fall into my hands someday.

"Here!"

Despite harboring resentment, Chang Yuchun still accepted the order.

Otherwise, it would truly be considered disobedience, and the Emperor would indeed punish them.
