C393 Gu Hao's Provocation
Half a month later, Lu Lin returned. During this period of time, the Aolai Empire didn't attack again. This disappointed Lin Yun, who was looking forward to it. Initially, he wanted to experience the power of this single-horned Saint Flame Horse, but the fact had disappointed him.
After Lu Lin brought his reinforcements, Lin Yun had no choice but to leave helplessly. The Xu family would invade the Jingyang at any time. The Fengyang was the foundation of the Lin family, and it was much more important than the Nanyang. Therefore, he had to guard it personally.
During the turbulent autumn, especially after learning about the matter of the dragon tomb, he didn't dare to let his guard down. No one knew what kind of great figure or old antique would emerge next. That white fox was the best proof.
He left Nanyang, leaving only Lu Xian, Duobao, and the other two to guard the place. Adding the fifty thousand Black Iron Army brought by Lu Lin, unless the enemy had a large number of Desolate Emperor warriors, they wouldn't be able to take down the Nanyang City.
Judging from the current situation, the probability of a large number of Desolate Emperor warriors appearing wasn't high, so Lin Yun left with a lot of confidence.
However, just as Lin Yun returned to Fengyang City, he received a letter from Aolai Empire. This letter was not sent by anyone. It was from Guu Hao, whom he feared the most.
This Guu Hao was also arrogant. He actually called himself a Great Sovereign. It made people laugh and cry. However, the letter he wrote to Lin Yun infuriated Lin Yun.
The letter said that as long as Lin Yun submitted to him and handed over Tieh Jier and Lu Lin, he would let bygones be bygones. He gave Lin Yun the title of the Northern Dragon King and guarded all the lands north of the Nanyang for generations, and even gave him two million taels of gold.
The meaning of his threat was also very clear. He was reminding Lin Yun, both in the open and in the dark, about the consequences of opposing him.
When Lin Yun read half of the letter, he was shocked into pieces. Needless to say, Guu Hao deliberately increased the pressure on him. Conquering him in the letter was only on the surface, but intimidating him was the truth.
He claimed that his empire had hundreds of millions of troops, hundreds of Emperor level warriors, and countless Spirit Saint warriors. If it wasn't for Lin Yun's understanding of the situation in the Eastern Continent, he might have been fooled by such an exaggerated statement.
After reading the letter, Lin Yun became slightly angry. Immediately, he took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter in one breath.
After he finished writing, he called a Nightingale messenger and said, "This is my personal letter. Take it to Ao Lai City. Think of a way to give it to Guu Hao. As the saying goes, never reciprocate. I want to see how terrifying Guu Hao's anger is! "
"Your subordinate obeys!"
"Yes! Go! Be careful on the way."
After saying that, the messenger respectfully left the room. Lin Yun, on the other hand, laughed evilly. This Guu Hao seemed to have an impatient personality. This was what Lin Yun liked to see the most. This kind of person was actually not difficult to deal with. He had countless ways to defeat Guu Hao, who claimed to be a Great Sovereign.
As such, they spent nearly ten days in peace. Lin family had deployed their forces everywhere. They had been in a state of preparation for war, but the expected attack did not appear. Lin Yun did not dare to be careless. He continued to maintain the high defense of Lin family.
He did not know why Xu family had not launched an attack yet, but Xu family had to win against the Dragon Tomb. They would not give up. It was only a matter of time before they attacked.
The troops were deployed in a tight formation. In the capital city of the south, the Nanyun, a series of angry shouts could be heard from the imperial palace.
On the high dragon throne, Guu Hao looked at the letter in his hand with a gloomy expression. He read the letter while releasing black Qi in anger.
"With your strength, you dare to call yourself a Great Sovereign. Aren't you afraid of making a fool of yourself? If you want me to submit, then bring it on! To be honest, I, Lin Yun, have never regarded you as my opponent. A mere man from the Guu Clan, a race that was able to survive in the secret realm while avoiding disaster. To be honest, you are just a mouse, you can't see the light of day. Do you think you are qualified to order me, Lin Yun? I, Lin Yun, will stay in Fengyang City and wait for your arrival. Do you dare to come? "
This was not a letter, it was simply a letter of challenge! Lin Yun's contemptuous attitude infuriated Guu Hao.
However, although he was extremely angry, he had to admit that Lin Yun's words had hit his vitals. He really did not dare to accept Lin Yun's letter of challenge at this moment.
In that battle back then, he had been seriously injured. Even the Rotten Source that he had painstakingly condensed had no choice but to flee for its life. It could be said that it had directly injured his foundation. In just a few decades, he did not even have half of his strength back then. He was afraid that he couldn't even defeat Lu Lin now, let alone Lin Yun, who was at the height of his power.
He had been in a deep sleep for more than ten years, recovering from his injuries. He had only woken up after two years. Once he woke up, he had already taken control of Aolai Empire, and he was constantly inquiring about Lu Lin and the others.
Lu Lin and the others had indeed found out about it, but he had also found out about Lin Yun's existence. When he recalled the records about Lin Yun in the Aolai Empire, he couldn't help but feel fearful in his heart.
The Fengyang City was in chaos when he was only a teenager, and his name had spread across the entire Loongteng Empire. After that, he had destroyed the Loong family and launched several attacks. He had killed a Spirit Saint warrior with just a Four-Yang Stage cultivation base, and in the Spirit Cultivation Academy of the Loongteng, he had forcefully crossed the Celestial Punishment under the eyes of the public.
One dazzling battle achievement after another was not something that could be accomplished by ordinary geniuses. Only monstrous geniuses could do it.
Lin Yun's rise had allowed Guu Hao to see a true human genius. Most of these people had terrifying trump cards that could save their lives. Therefore, it was impossible for Guu Hao to fight in such a condition.
However, he, Guu Hao, was an extremely proud person. He had always thought that he was the most outstanding person in this world, but now that Lin Yun had provoked him, he felt extremely aggrieved. The anger in his heart was indescribable.
"Pass on my order. Gather a million soldiers at once. I want to flatten Fengyang City!"1
"As you wish, my emperor!"
Following Guu Hao's order, the Aolai Empire actually gathered more than two million troops at the northern border within a few days, causing Lu Lin and the others who were guarding the Nanyang City to feel nervous. They stared at the border all day long, not daring to relax.
On this day, with the sound of a horn, the two million strong army finally attacked.
The leader was actually a Desolate Emperor warrior. His imposing manner was imposing, and he was charging straight ahead, setting off a huge storm!
On the Nanyang's side, after a month of devilish training, thousands of cavalry seemed to have formed a fighting strength. Following Duobao's lead, the cavalry charged out of the city.
The flame of the single-horned holy flame horse was like a sea of fire, and wherever it went, it turned into a golden sea of fire.
In the sky, there were endless screams. The 1000 plus days of cavalry had caused the ground to be covered in shadows, and the momentum of the entire cavalry force had faintly overshadowed the 2 million strong army on the opposite side.
This sort of visual impact caused the enemy commander's pupils to constrict, and he unconsciously shivered.
"Damn it, no wonder the Lin family is so tough. They actually have such a terrifying cavalry. Fortunately, they are not able to mount 10,000 horses. Otherwise, our Aolai Empire really would not be able to do anything to them. Archers, form up!"
"Yes!"
"The target is the enemy cavalry. Shoot the arrows for me... "
Swish, swish, swish...
Following his command, arrows that blotted out the sky and covered the earth shot into the sky, causing the heavens and earth to darken.
However, the Lin family cavalry on the opposite side did not panic. After the leader, Duobao sneered, and his imposing manner suddenly soared.
Following that, the long sword danced chaotically, and a huge red arrowhead appeared.
Like the sky, the arrowhead formed a force that could seize the sky, and swept all the arrows towards the army.
The arrow attack was broken, and the enemy commander staggered, revealing a face full of shock.
At that moment, a world-shaking roar came from behind them. He turned his head to look and almost fainted.
Thousands of Earth Dragon appeared from behind them. It was a disaster.
"Not good, we fell into a trap! Kill our way out from the right!"
Just as the group changed direction, blood suddenly burst out from the other side. Then, Xucao and Luo Shee led tens of thousands of people and charged over.
That imposing manner was so strong that it made people suffocate. It was as if the will of the entire army had merged into one, causing even the Heavenly Dao to retreat.
"What!?" The commander's mind was thrown into chaos. He immediately sat down on the war chariot, dispirited.
