I wonder if Taoist Friend Zhou would be so kind as to personally recount the past events to us, so that we too can gain some understanding of your Divine Skills!”

Without waiting for Zhou Chun to respond, he turned his head towards the soldiers below and said, “Fellow Taoists, colleagues, wouldn’t you agree?”

“Yes, yes, Vice Commander Yue is right, we’re all eager to hear about the Commander’s heroic deeds!”

“Absolutely, Commander, please satisfy everyone’s curiosity and tell us about it!”

“I too am eager to hear about the Commander’s heroic deeds!”

Suddenly, some of Yue Feng’s cronies began to echo and stir up the atmosphere, hoping to heat things up.

Unfortunately, these soldiers of the Heavenly Spirit Legion were all worldly and experienced members of the Cultivation World, not the hot-blooded youths.

Even though they also harbored doubts about the authenticity of Zhou Chun’s military achievements, without any conflict of interest with Zhou Chun at the moment, none were foolish enough to make themselves a pawn for others.

Thus, apart from a few cronies that Yue Feng had previously arranged to make noise, even another Middle Stage Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator and Deputy Commander Cheng Zhiming, was silently observing from the sidelines, with no intention to speak.

This situation left Yue Feng feeling somewhat embarrassed.

In fact, if he had been given more time to operate, relying on his previously accumulated prestige, it wouldn’t have come to this.

Unfortunately, he had received the news just the day before and was so psychologically impacted by it that he had no mood to engage in such collusion.

Only upon learning that Zhou Chun would take office today did he reluctantly contact a few cronies to stir up this situation.

If it had been before joining the military, with his hundreds of years of cultivation, he definitely wouldn’t have reacted so irrationally.

However, after spending over a decade in the army, he had grown accustomed to issuing commands to other Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators and to the feeling of holding great authority over a squad.

Now, to suddenly learn that his position was being usurped by Zhou Chun, a younger junior with Middle Stage Purple Mansion Phase Cultivation Level, and that he was to serve under him as a deputy, was a blow that made it difficult for him to behave rationally.

After all, he was a disciple of a prestigious sect, whose background was certainly no worse than Zhou Chun’s, without any significant faults—it was inconceivable that Zhou Chun’s arrival should replace him and relegate him to a lower position as a deputy!

At this point, the words were out, and the actions were taken. Despite the extremely awkward situation and the feeling of regret blossoming within him, Yue Feng had no choice but to brazen it out.

Seeing that Zhou Chun had not yet spoken, he looked at Zhou Chun again and said, “Taoist Friend Zhou, as all the brothers agree, you wouldn’t want to go against the wishes of the group, would you?”

“Is that so? Do you all really think the same as Vice Commander Yue?”

Zhou Chun finally spoke, but not to Yue Feng. Instead, he looked at the silent soldiers, emphasizing the title “Vice Commander” heavily.

Upon hearing his words, Yue Feng’s expression darkened instantly, and he turned his gaze to the soldiers, his eyes flashing fiercely, although it was unclear towards whom.

Consequently, Zhou Chun’s question was met with a wall of silence.

It was as if these soldiers had all suddenly become mute!

Seeing this, Zhou Chun nodded lightly without changing his expression and said, “Very well, since that’s the case, why doesn’t Vice Commander Yue come up on stage and have a match with me, so I can personally show you how I slew Jiang Zhong!”

With those words, he gestured to the middle-aged looking Yue Feng and said, “Vice Commander Yue, please!”

This response was beyond what Yue Feng had expected.

He stood there, momentarily stunned.

Watching Zhou Chun carefully for a while, with his face changing unpredictably, he finally clenched his teeth and said, “Very well, then Yue will witness Taoist Friend Zhou’s esteemed skills!”

Following this, he flew up to the arena within the camp that was used for the soldiers to spar and practice martial arts, accompanied by Zhou Chun.

Seeing this development, those soldiers who had been mute just a moment ago suddenly perked up with excitement, all rushing over to witness what promised to be an intense battle.

Only after all the soldiers had gathered around the edge of the arena did Zhou Chun look indifferently at Yue Feng and ask, “Vice Commander Yue, are you ready?”

“Come on, let Yue see what you’ve got!”

Yue Feng responded with a deep voice, and as he spoke, he slapped his Storage Pouch at his waist, summoning a crimson gold spear and a fiery-red shield.

Both of these Magic Artifacts were Third Order top-grade items, and when combined with his Late Stage Purple Mansion cultivation, they made his strength within the late phase ranks formidable.

At the same time, Zhou Chun also raised his hand and slapped his Storage Pouch and Spirit Beast Pouch, releasing the Thunder Python Baibai and Stone, while summoning the Golden Rainbow Sword and the Xuangang Bead.

“Two Third Order Demon Beasts!”

Seeing Baibai and Stone suddenly appear on the stage, Yue Feng’s expression changed dramatically, revealing a look of shock.

The details of how Zhou Chun had slain the Corpse Fiend General Jiang Zhong were naturally not disclosed on a large scale, and many of the various tales were deliberately spread by Master Qingwei.

Had Yue Feng known earlier that Zhou Chun possessed two Third Order Demon Beast Spirit Pets, he would never have so rashly and impulsively agreed to a contest with Zhou Chun.
