Chapter 2139 - 2143: Night Raid on Demon Capital City

"This... this..."

Hearing Qin Tian's words, Chen Jingsi was stunned on the spot.

"Jin Lin? Jin Lin couldn't possibly... I thought he was a good person. How could he be against you..."

Chen Jingsi couldn't believe it, "Besides, I've heard that he's a family friend of Mu Yunxi's. It shouldn't be the case."

Qin Tian said, "It's precisely because they are family friends that they stabbed us in the back without any defense. I still don't know if Mu Yunxi is alive or dead, but today we are here to regroup forces after the last withdrawal and attack Demon Capital City once again."

"The Demon King and the Jin family father and son are our targets this time."

As Qin Tian spoke, he looked at Immortal Jiu: "Immortal Jiu, this time, I need your strength. We've got traitors, which is very upsetting."

"No problem. Jin Yunzhong and Jin Lin, right? I need to find them. I hate those sinister people who stab in the back the most. This Jin Lin and Jin Yunzhong are indeed perfect candidates for revenge."

Immortal Jiu wrinkled his nose, his face looking extremely displeased, "They stabbed you in the back and even plot to kill me. If I don't take revenge, others will think I, Immortal Jiu, am easy to bully."

With the return of Immortal Jiu, Qin Tian was now more confident in attacking Demon Capital City.

Initially, he began deploying formations before Zhou Yang and others arrived, without using any fancy offensive tactics. Qin Tian prepared to find a breakthrough at the East City Gate.

Meanwhile, at Demon Capital City, the Demon King and Jin Yunzhong already felt Qin Tian's forces approaching. They gathered troops to fortify the East City Gate.

Jin Lin was at a critical stage of cultivation, not returning home at night but only during the day.

Jin Yunzhong was worried, but the Demon King remained calm, relying on the Imperial City's forces for distraction, and with two Elder Council experts stationed, he thought Qin Tian's attack was a fool's errand.

"It seems Demon Capital City is prepared to defend desperately. Ye Kun, let's attack without waiting for Old Zhou."

After thinking, Qin Tian decided to attack immediately. Zhou Yang and his forces would arrive in half a day, allowing reinforcement and strengthening firepower.

Since Demon Capital City chose defense, he wasn't going to hold back.

"King Qin, the strategist Zhou still has half a day. Aren't we waiting for him?"

Ye Kun was also surprised when he heard this, "If we attack like this and Demon Capital City discovers us, they might attack, which would be troublesome for us."

Qin Tian snorted coldly, saying, "If they take the initiative to attack, I'd be delighted. As long as they dare to come out, our fifty thousand troops only need to resist for half a day. Once Zhou Yang's army arrives, it would be as if they opened the city gate to let us in. I want to see if the Demon King and Jin Yunzhong dare to take such a risk."

Ye Kun, after hearing this, felt relieved and said, "Alright, I'll move the troops to prepare for the assault."

Qin Tian said to Lin Yu: "Your True Qi Artillery Troop must cooperate with Ye Kun to make a grand spectacle."

"Understood."

Lin Yu and Ye Kun went to prepare immediately.

Duan Xiaodao asked puzzledly, "Boss, logically, we shouldn't have to rush in these half a day waiting for Old Zhou. Why are you in such a hurry now?"

"Now, seeing our troops concentrate at the East City Gate, Demon Capital City isn't foolish. They'll gather all their soldiers at the East City Gate. By then, our attack will definitely be a bloodbath."

Qin Tian knew Duan Xiaodao would say this, so he showed a mysterious expression and whispered, "Old Four, I'm planning to strike East and attack West."

"Strike East and attack West? Boss, which gate are you planning to attack? Our target is too obvious now. If we move to attack another gate, I'm afraid Demon Capital City will be prepared." Duan Xiaodao thought striking East and attacking West seemed hard to implement.

Qin Tian said, "I didn't say a large-scale assault. Once Ye Kun and Lin Yu attack the East City Gate, you'll take all Qin family troops with me and Immortal Jiu to attack from the South Gate."

"Among the four city gates of Demon Capital City, from what I've seen, the South Gate is the farthest from the East Gate, comparable to the straight-line distance from East Gate to West Gate. This makes it convenient for us to attack. When the East City Gate battle is at its peak, Demon Capital City won't have good intel on our troop movements, so their defenses at the South Gate will be weak, ideal for us to make our move."

As Qin Tian explained, Duan Xiaodao froze on the spot.

"Boss, are you sure... you want to do this?" Duan Xiaodao looked at Qin Tian speechless.

Qin Tian said, "What's wrong?"

Duan Xiaodao replied, "Boss, with two thousand troops, attacking the South Gate... how is this possible..."

"Why not? All Qin family troops are Small Immortal Realm experts. Without the hindrance of True Qi Arrow Rain and other hidden weapons, they have the capability to leap over Demon Capital City's gate towers."

"Boss, when we attack the city, how could there be no hindrance? Not to mention True Qi Arrow Rain, it could be enough to make us suffer. Climbing the gate towers would be too difficult."

Duan Xiaodao thought Qin Tian seemed insane for proposing such a plan. It seemed entirely impossible to him, yet Qin Tian appeared confident...

"The plan looks risky, but don't forget, I and Immortal Jiu will personally lead."

Seeing Duan Xiaodao's skeptical eyes, Qin Tian reassured him.

Upon hearing this, Duan Xiaodao nodded: "Alright, Boss, I'll do whatever you say."

Qin Tian immediately informed Immortal Jiu of his plan.

Immortal Jiu seemed indifferent to Qin Tian's plan, merely saying, "Let me know when you depart. I'll enjoy a pot of wine first."

In the dead of night, Ye Kun and Lin Yu had already started the attack on Demon Capital City's East City Gate, following Qin Tian's orders to create a big show, shaking the earth and sky.

While Demon Capital City responded to Ye Kun and others' assault, Qin Tian, Immortal Jiu, and Duan Xiaodao, with two thousand Qin family troops, withdrew to a distant forest, making their way to the South City Gate.

Over an hour later, they arrived at a small grove outside the South City Gate, with about a kilometer of open ground between the grove and Demon Capital City.

At this moment, at the South City Gate, over ten city guard soldiers could be seen on the gate towers. Besides them, everything was silent. Meanwhile, outside the South City Gate, Qin Tian could see the eastern sky lit by artillery fire and True Qi Bomb explosions, glowing white as snow.

"Immortal Jiu, we will lead the way on the gate towers to open a path. Only then can we conquer the South Gate. What do you think? Let's act swiftly when the time comes." Qin Tian said to Immortal Jiu.
