Chapter 958 - 415. Three defections, small effort, big impact_2
"Tuoba Zun is here!"
Hou Yuxiao’s face darkened after speaking, nodded to Lu Kangping, and without waiting for Chu Kuangren’s response, immediately flew out of the military tent. Lu Kangping, Hou Yuduan, and Zhao QingXue followed him out.
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Yuwen Qing sneered twice, while Lian Ningxue remained indifferent. Both women also walked out together.
Inside the tent, only the Jiang siblings and four members of the Jiangbei Alliance remained.
"A fine Hou Yuxiao indeed, daring to deceive under the Emperor’s own nose, openly protecting the citizens, yet secretly colluding with the Lu Family, mobilizing five million troops to the north. It seems you have long conspired with the alliance; all those events in Hexi were just mocking the Emperor!"
As they stepped out of the tent, they saw a swirl of black energy in mid-air. Tuoba Zun’s tone was calm, but his face was extremely grim. Standing next to him, Yuan Zhen glared at Hou Yuxiao, equally furious.
The moment they arrived in the north of the river and detected the Hou Clan army’s movements, their hearts chilled halfway. Following the army’s path, they tracked it all the way to Qingyang Prefecture and saw the Lu Family’s three million Hurricane Heavenly Army. Tuoba Zun couldn’t resist his intense emotions and directly released his aura, drawing out Hou Yuxiao.
"Hexi is weak, and this was the last resort. I hope the lord will forgive us."
Hou Yuxiao’s expression was very calm, as Tuoba Zun’s reaction was already anticipated. This was but a clone of Tuoba Zun with only Sub-saint Realm of Martial Arts cultivation. With three million Hurricane Heavenly Army present, along with Lu Kangping and others by his side, he naturally had little fear and calmly offered a polite remark.
Seeing this reaction, the fury in Tuoba Zun’s heart burned even hotter. Although he didn’t think Hou Yuxiao could cause much trouble for Great Jin, this act of deception had undoubtedly tarnished his dignity.
