"Luo Si, how do we attack inside?" he asked.
Luo Si frowned and pondered, "Young Master, I previously led the defensive military orders and had just arrived with my troops."
"To become the commander of this campaign against White Paper Immortal City was a fortunate accident, used as a scapegoat, without truly earning their trust."
The implication was that he was also unsure.
Ning Zhuo nodded, his mind slightly moved.
He quietly noticed a small detail, which was that although Luo Si had proactively pledged allegiance, he did not call him ’Lord’ but instead addressed him as ’Young Master.’
Unlike Yuan Dasheng, this proved he still held reservations, many thoughts observing.
"It seems there’s still some distance to go before Luo Si genuinely commits."
"Indeed."
"I’m merely at the Foundation Establishment cultivation level, whereas the opponent is a Nascent Soul great cultivator; whether in leading troops or individual combat prowess, he’s extraordinary!"
Whether in the defensive war of White Paper Immortal City, or just now when Luo Si executed Han Yan, both showcased the terrifying comprehensive strength of this Ghost General, Si Yuan.
To make such a powerful figure submit is not easy.
This distance could be quite long.
Ning Zhuo didn’t delve into this, the urgent task was truly disrupting the century-old plot of the Lord of Wanchuan!
Luo Si further added, "There are two things I need to inform you about, Young Master."
"First, my mission to attack White Paper Immortal City is actually a military order for a blood sacrifice. Whether the losses on White Paper Immortal City’s side or our army’s casualties are both parts of the blood sacrifice."
"The reason I withdrew the troops is that I’ve already achieved the standard for the blood sacrifice."
"Second, my record collection is stored in the City Lord’s Mansion in Wanchuan Immortal City. Sir Han Yan’s threats earlier were not false."
"So, I humbly request the Young Master to command me while I still remain!"
Ning Zhuo’s heart was stirred once more, perceiving the subtlety in interacting with Luo Si.
"This guy thinks a lot just like his title suggests, yet only expresses a portion."
"To converse with such individuals, one must discern the unspoken parts and the true intentions hidden within the dialogue!"
Ning Zhuo understood well.
He had endured in Fire Persimmon Immortal City for over a decade, always pondering over people.
His imagined opponents were the City Lord’s Mansion, several Nascent Soul level entities. Alongside the rather oppressive and harsh survival environment of the Ning Family, these intentions and experiences provided him with profound insights into human nature far exceeding his age.
Without hesitation, he chuckled, openly displaying his disdain towards the Lord of Wanchuan.
"Although the blood sacrifice has been achieved, relying on the Forbidden Army for active defense and summoning your troops for reinforcement proves the Lord of Wanchuan is still far from true success."
"I come bearing the lifespan from the Mortal World, the greatest catastrophe for the Lord of Wanchuan’s attempt to defy destiny!"
"This mission will surely succeed, I will certainly have ample time!"
Ning Zhuo’s gaze was as sharp as electricity, his laughter full of confidence in victory.
He looked at Luo Si again, his gaze seemingly penetrating into the Ghost General’s deepest heart: "Let me tell you one more thing."
"I have detached another part of the military force, their spearhead aimed directly at Wanchuan Immortal City!"
"Earlier acquaintances of yours are my reliable subordinates, on that very path."
"The strength of that army is far superior to ours here, they are ambush troops left by the Ta Su Scholar. Moreover, there is a Main General with outstanding power; individuals like Han Yan might not survive a single round under her."
Luo Si nodded faintly, said nothing more, but his heart stirred.
Ning Zhuo’s intense confidence influenced him.
The key was that Ning Zhuo’s response made him feel greatly at ease!
On one hand, Ning Zhuo’s reply and layout relieved a significant portion of his survival pressure. On the other, his interaction with Ning Zhuo felt very comfortable and effortless!
Ning Zhuo understood his unspoken thoughts, then responded precisely.
At this moment, Luo Si felt — interacting with Ning Zhuo was simply like bathing in the spring breeze!
"Was this an extraordinary random display?"
"After all, he’s so young!"
Upon rushing to the battlefield among the clouds, he received the Divine Sense Transmission from Grey Bone Elder.
Grey Bone Elder directly informed him: he would encounter his destined lord here, don’t hesitate, pledge allegiance immediately. This is Luo Si’s lifetime greatest opportunity and turning point!
Luo Si’s mind churned but his expression remained unchanged, focusing intently on the battlefield.
This observation led him to be deeply drawn to Ning Zhuo.
At that time, Ning Zhuo and Qing Yan were jointly confronting Han Yan, despite being flustered, they performed exceptionally well!
He was only at the Foundation Establishment level, yet possessed such profound realm in Five Elements Magic, and wielded military power so skillfully.
His robust physical body, soul foundation, the aura of simultaneously cultivating three Dantians, it showed his uniqueness and unmatched nature at such a young age!
Even Han Yan silently praised Ning Zhuo’s excellence, forming the intent to kill.
Luo Si grew more excited the more he observed.
How many years had he waited!
This was what Grey Bone Elder had long foretold, he had full trust in Grey Bone Elder.
This is the bright lord, the bright lord, I finally met you!
Luo Si’s inner sentiments surged but he still endured, maintaining a calm facade while making steady moves.
With one strike, it was earth-shattering, overturning the battlefield!
Though such allegiance didn’t match his expectations. He didn’t wish to create a negative impression of being a traitor on the first meeting with his destined lord.
But he had no other choice!
If he didn’t act, the bright lord would be killed by that scoundrel Han Yan.
To minimize the negative impact, Luo Si even called out a manifesto during the battle. He had exhausted his mind for this manifesto!
Of course, outwardly he remained impassive and composed, deep as an abyss.
