“Buzz!”

A golden light broke the barrier of the array in the Eight Array Tactics. Zhuge Liang led the group to greet the expert coming from outside; two figures followed him, one big and one small.

“I've been waiting here for a long time, senior. I've heard so much about you, and I can tell at a glance that you are extraordinary and imposing,” Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

What he said was by no means flattery; it came from the bottom of his heart. Ying Zheng had already changed into his original attire, exuding an invisible Imperatorial Power all over.

Tall and awesome, he conveyed a domineering stance with his eyebrows. He started glancing over as soon as he stepped in, as if he were patrolling his own lands.

“You do know a lot of Tao Laws,” Ying Zheng said slowly.

He had figured out that the Eight Diagram Tactics was composed of eight different Tao Laws, which complemented each other and were varied in combination, showing great power.

Upon hearing his words, Zhege Liang chuckled and said as he waved his feather fan, “Senior Ying Zheng, you're flattering me. It took me a thousand years to merely go this far.”

Ying Zheng squinted and said, “Merely this far? You've already done a good jobIn, considering this era of the late arts. In addition to Gui Guzi, you're the only one who can develop an array to such extent in the past thousand years.”

“Senior, you overpraise me. May I know who this little girl is?” Zhuge Liang pointed at Little Nannan and asked.

“I was saved by uncle and I don't have a name. Little Nannan is my name,” she replied obediently.

“I see. No wonder your return was delayed considerably, senior.”

Zhuge Liang nodded slowly. Just by looking at the little girl, he could guess what Ying Zheng had gone through during this period and what he had done for her.

“I really can't make friends with you warlocks,” Ying Zhang said as he frowned.

By virtue of his strong cultivation base and rich experience, he absolutely could understand the meaning behind Zhuge Liang's words, as well as how he had reckoned in secret.

Zhuge Liang said while laughing, “Haha. As a junior, it would be my great honor if senior, the first emperor, wanted to make friends with me.”

“How can I fight against the disaster if I don't make friends with you, counselor? Just tell me your requirements; all I want is the best countermeasure,” Ying Zheng said with his hands behind his back.

“Wow! Uncle, you're so awesome and know lots of formidable brothers and sisters, even that fantastic grandpa!” The girl climbed onto Ying Zheng's shoulder and cried out in surprise.

“Be quiet,” Ying Zhang said as he knitted his brows.

“Okay!” Little Nannan nodded hard and hung on his neck quietly.

“…”

Everyone became speechless after seeing this, for they deemed that this girl was the only one in the world who would dare to do such things to the Eternal Emperor. She was actually unafraid of him; instead, she climbed on his shoulder and relied heavily on him.

Finding that the people present were looking at him strangely, Ying Zheng coughed and said, “She was abandoned by her parents and has nowhere to go. I'll help her settle down after finishing some affairs.”

“Uncle, I don't want to leave you…” Little Nannan said in pettish voice.

Her whisper was so sweet that everyone's hearts went out to her. If Edward and his spouse were there, they would probably scream to be her parents again.

“Senior, you should be aware that it's inappropriate for me to say more.” Zhuge Liang sighed.

Then he looked at the little girl and said, “As for this child, I believe she will find a good home.”

He looked at the people around after he finished speaking; they clearly understood the meaning of those words. Perhaps the primordial spirits of those seniors would dissipate after this crisis.

They, however, were the only ones who could be trusted. The little girl would have to be looked after by them if the worst consequence came to pass.

“Seniors, we will definitely help Hua Xia turn the corner since we'll be joining efforts this time!” Chu He said resolutely.

“That's right! Hua Xia has existed since the remote ancient times. We'll be able to defend this land once we join forces with our seniors!” Feng Tianming also showed his attitude.

“Brother said that man can conquer nature!” Zhao Changge said with a smile.

His word aroused everybody's fighting spirit. It seemed that Wang Bugui's confident look and his firm profile would emerge in their minds every time they heard those four words.

He could stick to his faith with just those four words, no matter what desperate situation he was in. They had heard Wang Bugui saying this over and over again, creating countless miracles shortly after.

The current “Man can conquer nature” was not only Wang Bugui's Mind Tao, but also the common faith of all the people present.

“At this time, why isn't he here?” Ying Zheng asked.

He had just discovered that Wang Bugui was not here. After he finished speaking, he activated his spirit mind awareness to reach all the entire Eight Diagram Tactics region; he found that guy before anyone answered.

“Has he actually entered such a crucial stage at this moment?” Ying Zheng frowned.

“Perhaps it's part of his fate.” Zhuge Liang raised his head and sighed.

“Fate?” Ying Zheng's brows knitted tightly.

After musing for a moment, he said, “It may be a precious opportunity for him to meditate. If he were exit seclusion, he would probably die in the following disaster!”

“What?!”

Everyone was shocked by hearing that Wang Bugui's life would be in danger if he came out of seclusion in advance!

“Senior, what did you figure out? Zhuge Liang asked as he frowned.

“Even I cannot predict what his real future will be like. The only thing I see is a blurry image, in which he's fighting against a much stronger enemy on a battlefield with much bloodshed.”

“In the end he taps into a strength which surpasses mine during a short period of time, singlehandedly suppressing this disaster at the expense of his life. Even his primordial spirit dissipates.”

“We, however, survive!” Ying Zheng said slowly with his hands behind his back.

Although he had only seen that image after a simple calculation, he felt extremely sad and cruel. He would not allow such a tragedy to happen since he was the stronger one.

As seniors, they were the ones who should take the lead in offering their lives, while potential striplings were supposed to grow up to protect Hua Xia from disappearing for thousands of years.

“I can only reckon that Bugui will be in danger if he exits seclusion in advance, but I didn't expect that he would die!” Zhuge Liang knitted his eyebrows tightly.

“In that case, just stop him from coming out and isolate the place where he's staying. Then, release some of the Tao principles we mastered to trap him,” Blood Demon King proposed.

“That's a great idea. It'll improve his cultivation base and buy us some time.” Zhuge Liang nodded.

“Let's get on with it.” Ying Zhang also agreed.

Then, he injected some unique Tao principles into the golden light, followed by the other three people.

“Erm? What's going on? It'll take much longer for me to get out, now that the number of Tao principles has increased again.” Wang Bugui had already noticed that something was wrong while in seclusion. Some new Tao principles had inexplicably appeared; each of them was powerful and unique, but he was quite familiar with them.

There was a kind of Tao principle among them which was extremely horrifying; it gave off a foreign aura, but it definitely belonged to this plane.

Judging by its supreme power and imperial presence, Wang Bugui was convinced that it was the Emperor Tao Law!

There were two completely different Tao principles next to it.

One was as flexible as a flying dragon; it varied in shape, as if it could kill the enemy's general surrounded by hundreds of thousands of soldiers, while the other one was extremely domineering. It was like a formidable man, who could not only defend his territory alone, but also ward off thousands of troops. There was another kind of Tao principle with an obstinate power; it contained a sense of madness.

Eventually, a really mysterious Tao principle hovered in the air. Except for the Emperor Tao Law, the power it contained was the closest to the natural Taoism's.

Several kinds of Tao principles were integrated, almost forming an almighty Tao principle, which left him an impression of having the might to control everything.

“Is this…?”

Wang Bugui had already guessed whose Tao principle it was, but he couldn't be sure. After all, those seniors didn't need to do him a disservice at this critical moment. Moreover, what they did could only stall him.

Besides, they didn't have a reason to help him. According to those seniors, he should get through that crucial challenge by himself.

“Anyway, the general goal has been determined, although it will be more difficult for me to get out. Since these Tao principles are really powerful, I will take them all!”

Wang Bugui frowned, and did not care too much. The most urgent thing was to improve his strength as soon as possible, for there was a crisis waiting for him outside. He could not drag others down.

“This way, his strength will be greatly improved once he comes out of seclusion,” Blood Demon King said with a chuckle.

“Well, we're about to take action.” Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan.

“I've already made preparations. Please give me the order, Prime Minister!” Zhao Yun said, cupping his fists.

Zhuge Liang slowly nodded and looked at Ying Zheng again. He turned around with his hands on his back and said, “Just tell me whatever it is you're planning. Everyone will follow your orders.”

“How would I dare to order you, senior? All you need to do is to back us up in Juyongguan, where the world's lifeblood lies and where you are the most powerful.” Zhegu Liang shook his head and laughed.

“Okay.” Ying Zheng nodded slowly.

Waving his feather fan, Zhuge Liang turned to look at Lyu Bu and Zhao Yun and said, “Senior Blood Demon King, General Zilong, rush to the Shanhaiguan and Mount Taihang respectively.”

“If I predicted correctly, these two places will be the first to be attacked because they have been critical strategic points since ancient times. Once our enemies will reach the North Plain once they pass through Shanhaiguan.”

“At that time, they can go straight to Yandu City or go all the way south, and only a formidable Greater Power with extraordinary Tao Laws could defend those places by right of his evil aura and strong blood vigor. Therefore, senior Blood Demon King is the best person to defend them along this way.”

“As for Mount Taihang, it is the most vital place in the military force since the Spring and Autumn Period and the only way to get to the Central plains from Shanxi. Those who occupy it will have the initiative; they would be able to attack and defend easily.”

“Only a person who has experience in leading troops can qualify. Zilong, you're thoughtful enough, so I'll send you to guard it.”

“We can't lose those two fortresses in any case! I'll give each of you an Eight Diagram Tactics array with fifty thousand superior Dark Steel Soldiers. Do you have confidence in winning the battle?”

“I will definitely go through fire and water without hesitation! I won't let the enemy cross Mount Taihang as long as I'm alive!” Zhao Yun said resolutely.

“All the enemies are bound to be killed!” Blood Demon King was also filled with a rising fighting desire.

Suddenly, they seemed to have returned to their eventful years. However, this time, they were not fighting for the world or the immortal fate, but defending this land!
