Chapter 2138 - 2142: The Return of Immortal Jiu

"Boss, why are we marching rapidly? Now that the big cities of the Demon Clan are left with only the Demon Capital City, we'll capture it sooner or later."

After conquering Demon Spirit City, Qin Tian ordered the troops to abandon Demon Cloud City and Demon Spirit City and directly launch a rapid march to besiege Demon Capital City. Zhou Yang was puzzled.

Qin Tian said, "Our attack on Demon Cloud City and Demon Spirit City was merely to destroy these two cities, ensuring they lack the strength to stab us in the back while we besiege Demon Capital City."

"There are two reasons for the rapid march. First, the Imperial City is currently attacking Tiger City, which may threaten Yueya City. They are taking advantage of our main force attacking the Demon Clan, hence their impudence. So, we must finish the battle quickly and then return to reinforce Yueya City."

"Of course, the second reason is the main one. Didn't Jin Lin invite me to his wedding on September 15? I'm going to make sure he can't get married! I'm going to take Demon Capital City before September 15 and see how he acts up! How he provokes me!"

Zhou Yang said, "But, Boss, you shouldn't get so angry. You see, until now, Jin Lin hasn't produced any evidence proving sister-in-law is in his hands. So, the marriage Jin Lin talks about might be false, just a ruse to lure you to the Demon Capital. Otherwise, he might be marrying another woman."

"Hehe," Qin Tian laughed, looking up at the sky above him, "Love is a light, a green light that makes me uneasy. No matter what, there's no news about Yunxi yet, and I'm nervous, fearing to look up and see the green light above. Do you understand that feeling?"

"Uh..."

Zhou Yang was left speechless by Qin Tian's words, "Boss, you sure have a big heart... I bow to you, alright, a rapid march isn't out of the question after all."

...

When the West State Army attacked the cities of the Demon Clan, due to the strategic contraction of the Demon Clan, there weren't many troops assigned to other cities, so the West State Army encountered almost no resistance and headed straight for the Demon Capital City.

In order to capture the Demon Capital City before September 15, Qin Tian divided the troops into two parts: the vanguard assault army and the two thousand Qin Family army led by Duan Xiaodao, a total of 52,000 people. These two parts moved the fastest, reaching a small town only 50 kilometers from the Demon Capital City in less than two days.

The remaining 150,000 troops, also led by Zhou Yang and Ye Kun, accelerated their pace towards the Demon Capital City.

This time, arriving again at the East City Gate of Demon Capital City, Qin Tian felt a lot of emotions.

"Boss, the old Zhou and the others estimate it will take another day to arrive, and there are less than four days until September 15. Can we capture the Demon Capital City in just over three days?"

Lin Yu was skeptical, saying to Qin Tian, "The people of the Demon Clan are sure to have precautions. I fear it won't be smooth this time."

"Even if it's not smooth, we must make an attempt."

Qin Tian's gaze was firm.

"King Qin, there's someone outside the tent... Look who it is."

A guard officer, with joy on his face, hadn't finished speaking when two figures appeared outside the tent. It was Immortal Jiu and Chen Jingsi!

"You, you've returned? Are you alright!?"

Seeing Immortal Jiu and Chen Jingsi, Qin Tian was a little dazed; they had returned unharmed indeed.

Immortal Jiu pursed his lips, "Where's Jin Yunzhong? Let him come out, I have something to ask him."

Immortal Jiu looked somewhat displeased.

Qin Tian asked, "What's wrong?"

Immortal Jiu said, "That guy tricked us into going to the Demon Tomb, that place is a one-way trip, almost got the two of us killed, what do you think his intentions were?"

Lin Yu said from the side, "Immortal Jiu, Jin Yunzhong and Jin Lin didn't have good intentions, they indeed wanted to kill you, to ensure you couldn't return?"

"Hmm? You knew? You knew and didn't stop us? Made me take a pointless trip, didn't even see the Demon God Wine, and at the entrance of the Demon Tomb, faced a black smoke formation, hehe, if not for this girl's wits, we might not have returned and been trapped inside."

Qin Tian "oh"ed, looking at Chen Jingsi, said, "Little witch, how were you so clever? Didn't expect you could play a role?"

Seeing Immortal Jiu and Chen Jingsi return unharmed, Qin Tian was in a better mood, at least one less worry in his heart.

Chen Jingsi pouted, "Hey, Qin Tian, what do you mean? Hasn't Miss Ben played roles many times? Hmph! I'm not going to stoop to your level."

She continued, "I just felt something was off about the Demon Tomb, then, I calculated with my fingers and told Immortal Jiu that on this trip, we wouldn't find the Demon God Wine. Also, this Demon Tomb seems to have some magic; I couldn't see through what might happen inside, perhaps extremely dangerous... And without smelling any wine, we turned back when almost entering the formation."

"Then why didn't you come back earlier if you didn't enter the Demon Tomb?" Lin Yu asked.

Chen Jingsi pouted, "After leaving the Demon Tomb, we encountered people attempting to ambush us, and also faced attacks from Demon Beasts, which took a lot of time, that's it."

Saying this, Chen Jingsi smiled slightly at Qin Tian, "Luckily, I went this time. Those Demon Beasts attacking us in hordes were so interesting!"

"Cough, cough..."

Being attacked and facing great danger, yet finding it interesting, it seemed only someone as carefree as Chen Jingsi would think that way.

Immortal Jiu looked at Qin Tian, "Why are you all still besieging Demon Capital City without attacking? And why have you moved from Southern City to East City? I went to Southern City and didn't find anyone. This girl calculated with her fingers saying you were nearby, hehe, luckily you're in East City, got any good wine, bring some quickly, quick quick quick…"

"This journey was desolate and barren. I brought too little wine, and finally, upon reaching an inn, they served me fake wine, almost infuriated me to death!"

As soon as Immortal Jiu returned, asking for wine was natural.

Qin Tian curiously asked, "Didn't I give you so much wine, didn't you bring it with you?"

"Oh, you don't understand, storing the wine in a storage bag for a long time affects the taste. I found a place, dug a pit, hehe, buried the fine wine, in West State... hiss, uh, can't tell you where I buried it, you might go looking for my wine."

Qin Tian rolled his eyes. At this moment, Immortal Jiu and Chen Jingsi were completely unaware of the surrounding anomalies, still smiling gleefully...

Qin Tian sent Lin Yu to get wine for Immortal Jiu.

Chen Jingsi finally noticed something unusual and asked Qin Tian, "Qin Tian, where's Sister Mu Yunxi? And what about Jin Lin? Huh, why haven't I seen them?"

"Jin Lin killed many of our people, allied with the Demon King to deal with me."

Qin Tian looked at Chen Jingsi and Immortal Jiu, "The Jin family father and son ambushed us, killed over ten thousand of us. Your Sister Mu Yunxi, now, is missing."
