"Congratulations to the Young City Lord, your divine skill is complete. In the future, you will certainly rise to great heights, massacre the Wuwen Race, and establish great merits!"

Su Yue stepped out, and Zili quickly praised.

She carefully glanced inside the tent.

As expected.

The ground had already been dried by the heat, still filled with a wonderful scent.

In the Yangxiang Race's mind, the scent of moisture baked by the heat is the world's most pleasant aroma.

Truly terrifying.

Zili sighed once more.

"Continue making the pills."

Su Yue said coldly, his face expressionless.

"As you command!"

Zili was accustomed to Su Yue's domineering nature, she also admired this spirit, for it belonged to someone achieving great things.

"Young City Lord, do you have any plans for transporting the source ores?"

Zili asked.

"Disguise them with garbage trucks, first transport the source ores bit by bit to the garbage station outside the city, then I will personally go to the wild to find source ores, and finally deliver them to the secret location, waiting for Yu Jing City's reinforcements to transport them away.

"My task is to deliver the source ores to the secret location in the wild.

"I have a group of refugees working under me responsible for transporting the trash, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Su Yue briefly explained.

There weren't many other options.

Through Lan Lu, secretly transport the source ores out, then disguise with garbage trucks, smuggling bit by bit.

Then Su Yue himself would sift through the trash, transporting the source ores to the secret place by the cliff.

Although it would be very troublesome, there was no other way.

The city gate was guarded, so they could only use the garbage as a cover.

"It's inappropriate!"

Unexpectedly, Zili shook her head with a frown.

"Hmm?"

Su Yue was taken aback.

"I'm not saying City Lord's plan is inappropriate, but that it's too slow in terms of efficiency.

"A garbage truck needs to be disguised, there's no way to transport much source ore, transporting little by little like this, who knows when it will be done.

"After all, the number of garbage trucks leaving Dianshi City each day is limited, it's too time-consuming."

Zili quickly said.

"What do you suggest?"

Su Yue frowned and asked.

Indeed.

Dividing the source ores into bags, mixing them in with the garbage trucks, the efficiency was astonishingly low.

But Dianshi City had third and fourth-grade guards, the City Defense General was even at the peak of fifth grade, always possibly stepping into sixth grade; there was no way Su Yue could sway the guards.

This was the headache for him.

Furthermore, there were many risks along the way.

The humidity was high in the swamp, the smell of rotten garbage was foul, so the guards generally wouldn't search the garbage.

However, if a maniac decided to inspect, his treacherous plan would be ruined.

"We should find a few rooms in Dianshi City, first use stones to replace the beams, then put the source ores in our warehouse in advance.

"The City Defense General of Dianshi City covertly covets my beauty as well.

"I can seduce him, while he makes his moves, secretly use source-like stones to record, and then threaten him.

"In this way, with the City Defense General's cooperation, we can covertly use large wooden carts overnight to concentrate and deliver the source ores to your secret location.

"If you don't want us to know the location, we can place them nearby, and we'll avoid it.

"Of course, I will not truly be with the City Defense General; I will merely threaten him with his attempted impropriety. And I will claim these source ores are ordinary herbs being smuggled by the Branch Garrison Camp.

"This way, in the cover of night, with the defense's cooperation, we can quickly transport all the source ores out at once, clean and swift."

Zili thought for a moment and said.

"Will the City Defense General listen to you?"

Su Yue's heart pounded fiercely.

A femme fatale indeed.

Truly the most venomous is a woman's heart.

And indeed, a woman's greatest weapon remains her beauty.

It's almost unstoppable.

Even Su Yue was convinced.

A beauty trap, used repeatedly, always unfailing, simply terrifying.

Zhang Wuji's mother was right, Su Yue thought, as a young hero himself, he must beware, he cannot trust women too much.

"Young City Lord, I understand your concerns, you don't want more people to know the plan, right?

"Rest assured, my husband is a Black Banner, a City Defense General cannot afford to offend a seventh-grade.

"Harassing someone else's wife is a grave crime in Dianshi City, a fifth-grade man must fear it.

"Moreover, what I'm having him do isn't anything heinously criminal, just smuggling some herbs; he will definitely agree."

Zili sneered.

Except for this unfathomable Young City Lord Hong Huo, her beauty trap had never failed.

In Dianshi City, if the Garrison Camp wanted to exchange resources with other towns, they had to pay taxes to the City Lord's Mansion.

Another function of the City Gate Guards was to monitor the Camp Generals' smuggling.

The wives of the Camp Generals aiding in smuggling for profit was a perfectly normal reason.

"Hmm, this is also a method.

"Take the source-like stones and go film it as soon as possible.

"Also, handle the warehouse issue; I don't trust Lan Lu's muddled brains."

Su Yue coldly ordered.

Having such a subordinate was like having luck.

Apart from being too scheming, she was flawless.

"I understand, by tomorrow, the warehouse will be ready.

"Also, regarding me seducing the City Defense General, I hope the Young City Lord can keep it a secret, so Lan Lu doesn't get jealous. The one I love most is still Lan Lu."

Zili said bashfully.

"Understood."

Su Yue nodded calmly.

A loose woman's words, you think you deserve love?

"Right, recruiting hands is inconvenient for me, so the labor for transporting the source ores will still need to be your subordinates, Young City Lord.

"Of course, you might need to make a bit of a sacrifice.

"These laborers may need to all be killed after the transportation is done and disposed of in the Fierce Beast Jungle.

"After all, the things we're doing are too extreme, if any word leaks out, it will be detrimental to the Young City Lord.

"Only dead men's mouths can keep the absolute secret."

Zili reminded again.

"That's precisely what I was going to instruct you — once this group of refugees finishes transporting, not a single one should be left alive."

Su Yue said coldly.

At the same time, he admired her.

If this Zili went to the battlefield, who knows how many plots and schemes she might concoct.

Cruel-hearted, cunning.

Terrifying and hateful.

"Very well then, Young City Lord, focus on your cultivation. The pills will be delivered shortly.

"I will handle everything. Before the day of the great battle, I promise to safely deliver the source ores to the location you designate."

Zili saluted charmingly.

...

Time continued to slip away.

There was only one day left until the great war began.

In the past couple of days, Su Yue took some time to wander around the streets.

As expected.

Dianshi City had become much quieter, with the Yangxiang Race at various garrison camps preparing to set out.

Zili's plan was progressing smoothly.

There hadn't been new raw ores in the past days, but under the cover of night, Lan Lu and Zili had already transported the ores to their designated warehouse.

The current ore warehouse appeared to be filled with countless broken stones.

Only a few at the entrance were real ores, just for show.

The process of Zili turning the City Defense General was much smoother than anticipated.

How could the City Defense General have expected Zili to carry a Memory Stone?

His inappropriate actions towards the Camp General's wife had already crossed a major line, the Black Flag could have torn him apart, and even his family would find no peace.

While others fought on the battlefield, he stayed in the city, undermining and cuckolding.

Even among the Yangxiang Race, this was a crime beyond tolerable.

Zili's demands weren't excessive, merely to transport some herbs.

Such smuggling was common for him and not a big issue.

Crucially, Zili also sent him suggestive glances, hinting at rewards after the matter concluded.

The City Defense General was quite tempted.

Of course, like an ancient earth deity named Chen, he despised cameras.

Su Yue continued his calm cultivation, the endless supply of Qi Blood Pills made life wonderfully addictive.

What a pity.

He would soon return to the human race, and there was a slight reluctance in him.

...

Available Duty Points: 51122

1: Sleep Amnesty

2: Cost of Love (Next use, consumes 3200 Duty Points)

3: Save Your Life

4: Humans and Ghosts Differ

5: Sneaky Invisibility

Qi Blood Value: 695

...

On the verge of breaking through 700 cards.

This was the result of Su Yue's efforts during this period, with all 90 energy points activated, even Su Yue felt a tinge of fear.

Where else could such a wondrous place be found, where the subordinates were so considerate?

It's difficult.

To be honest, Su Yue was even a bit unwilling to leave Zili.

Just like Emperor Qianlong couldn't part with He Shen, it was sincere admiration.

Such a sycophant.

...

Night finally fell.

During this time, Su Yue often met with Huangwa and company for chats, thoughtfully gifting them pills several times, and promising that after this war, each would be reinstated in the garrison camps.

This group of refugees regarded Su Yue as their savior, shouting about killing more Wuwen Race members to repay his kindness.

After all, with Su Yue's help, they were spared the three whippings.

Cultivating soldiers for a thousand days, using them for a moment.

Today, Su Yue led the 50 strongest refugees to a warehouse.

Close to 50 wooden carts of herbs was their task for the night.

The ores were already wrapped in beast hides, with the top covered by herbs to deceive the City Defense Army.

Zili donned leather armor and personally escorted them.

Su Yue, acting as a guard, followed behind Zili.

50 wooden carts, an impressive sight, but with the war imminent, supplies frequently went to the front line, arousing no particular suspicion, especially since the city was sparsely populated.

At the city gate, the City Defense General had arranged everything.

The City Defense Army watched the herbs being transported without much notice.

During wartime, it was a known secret that these Camp Generals' families would secretly transport herbs to other cities in exchange for treasures.

But these people were also outrageously brazen.

50 carts of herbs.

It was too much, usually 10 carts would be noteworthy.

However, with the City Defense General's personal assurance, they dared not speak out, lest they mysteriously vanish, for in such a lucrative position, self-preservation was key.

Ultimately, 50 carts of ores were transported to Su Yue's designated location, not far from the cliff.

Zili wisely left first.

The 50 refugees were also startled.

They knew full well, that it couldn't be herbs on those carts.

They were too heavy.

More like cartloads of stones.

But they dared not ask further.

"Everyone, go back."

Su Yue ordered.

Instantly, everyone flattered him, promising not to spread the word or speak out, as long as Su Yue remembered them.

This was essentially a threat.

The refugees weren't foolish, their promise not to speak implied the need for hush money.

"Benefits await everyone."

Su Yue nodded.

Subsequently, the group of refugees cheerfully returned to the city.

As for when Lan Lu and Zili, lying in ambush, would act, that was not for Su Yue to worry about.

Su Yue blinked and jumped down the mountain cliff.

There was his Beast Selection Waist Bag.

Though the waist bag was elastic, it had limits too.

The ores were too heavy, carrying even one-fifth was the waist bag's limit.

Talking about it was quite the hassle.

Su Yue deceived the Yangxiang Race, and now he had to deceive Cangyuan Sixth Camp people too.

He could only claim he overheard a secret deal between Dianshi City and Yu Jing City, and discreetly noted the location, to steal under their noses.

Su Yue even thoughtfully prepared some random marks to make it look more convincing.

Tomorrow, the war would begin.

I'll be in the tunnel, waiting for Jiao Qingyuan to start suppressing the cold air.

Lan Lu and Zili.

Sorry, your Young City Lord, won't be coming back.

As for your footage, perhaps someone will find it after the war.

Wishing you long-lasting love.

...
