Chapter Two: The Pact Under the Commander of the Wind and Moon Continent

Ye Tianlong walked straight to Wu Xiong Yi's tent. He saw four guards lined up on either side of the tent flap. He mentally transmitted a command to Yu Zhu. Instantly, the four guards, without a sound, seemed to be instantly electrified, shuddering slightly before freezing expressionlessly.

Looking around to make sure no one else was disturbed, Ye Tianlong swiftly lifted the curtain and entered the tent.

Wu Xiong Yi was inside, undressing and removing his armor. Hearing the rustling of the curtain, he didn't stop, probably thinking the guards were bringing some food and drink.

His imposing figure, with its muscular back, long, flowing hair, and the gleaming muscles on his shoulders under the lamplight, was striking. Even without seeing his face, his physique alone was enough to evoke many thoughts. What did his face look like? Was he as fierce as Fan Tong, or as scholarly as Zuo Dao Jin? It was quite a question to ponder!

"Put your things down and leave!" Wu Xiong Yi removed the last piece of his kneecap and said without turning his head.

Ye Tianlong didn't respond. He stopped, still pondering his first impression of this man.

In that moment of hesitation, Wu Xiong Yi suddenly felt a chill, a strange sense of panic flashing through his mind. Instinctively, he grabbed the sword he had just placed on the bed, and with a series of swift movements, the scabbard flew off, and a gleaming blade was already at Ye Tianlong's neck.

Ye Tianlong saw it clearly and had already anticipated the move, but he didn't dodge. However, he secretly applauded Wu Xiong Yi's move.

His gaze fell on Wu Xiong Yi's sword, which was fixed on Ye Tianlong, but the heavy armor made it difficult for him to discern the newcomer's identity.

After a brief standoff, Wu Xiong Yi slowly sheathed the sword and casually tossed it, the sword seemingly with eyes, hanging steadily on the tent wall.

Turning back, he smiled faintly and said, "What friend has come to visit? Let's meet face to face!"

With a few claps, Ye Tianlong clapped his hands and took a few steps forward, laughing loudly, "Haha, as expected of the renowned 'Tiger of Fei Mountain,' your courage is truly extraordinary." Saying this, Ye Tianlong removed his helmet, revealing his entire face.

Wu Xiong Yi returned to the couch and sat down, his sharp eyes scanning Ye Tianlong's face. He suddenly realized, "If I'm not mistaken, you must be the one who led several women to leap down the city wall during the day, disrupting my crossbow formation, right?"

"General, you certainly have a good memory. It is indeed me," Ye Tianlong replied, pulling up a stool and sitting down.

"If I, Wu, were old and blind, I couldn't remember someone with your abilities, wouldn't I be underestimating your skills!" Once Wu Xiong Yi's suspicions were confirmed, he was indeed secretly alarmed. However, as a tiger general who had fought on the battlefield for many years, he didn't show the slightest sign of seriousness on his face.

"Since that's the case, General, you must know the purpose of my visit," Ye Tianlong asked casually, crossing his legs.

"Could you tell me who killed you?" Wu Xiong Yi maintained a smile, his tone utterly calm even as he spoke.

"Hahaha, is that truly what you're thinking, General?" Ye Tianlong simply couldn't believe that Wu Xiong Yi could be so composed and calm in the face of death.

Based on his experience navigating the streets, he knew that most people would deliberately feign generosity to appear tough in life-or-death situations. And often, this was how they could escape with their lives. Therefore, Ye Tianlong, well-versed in this, naturally viewed Wu Xiong Yi this way.

"I, Wu Xiong Yi, have fought on the battlefield for many years, and have encountered countless assassination attempts during our battles. Perhaps it was my fate to survive. This time, in attacking Fast, I am grateful for the grace of my lord. I must either succeed or die trying. Do you think I, Wu Xiong Yi, will even flinch? But today, seeing your extraordinary skills, able to infiltrate my tent so silently, I suppose the soldiers outside have already perished. I only want to know who took my head. Since you refuse to tell me, I, Wu, have nothing more to say. Please, make your move!" Wu Xiong Yi showed no fear. He spoke as if it were a casual conversation, then sat calmly on the couch, his eyes fixed on Ye Tianlong, as if watching how the newcomer would take his head.

While he was speaking, Ye Tianlong secretly used his mind-reading technique to examine his mind. To his own disbelief, the other party remained remarkably calm, though a hint of resentment and regret lingered. He showed no fear whatsoever regarding the imminent danger to his life.

"You know, if I wanted to take your life now, it would be as easy as turning my hand. Are you truly willing to accept that?" Ye Tianlong, having grasped the other's inner thoughts, began to tease him unhurriedly.

"Kill me if you want, why all this nonsense!" Wu Xiong Yi maintained his upright posture, speaking irritably.

Hearing Wu Xiong Yi's fluctuating emotions, Ye Tianlong was secretly pleased. However, remembering the purpose of his trip, he suppressed his playful mood and said sternly, "Aren't you afraid that if I take your head, your hundreds of thousands of troops will scatter, and my Fast army will reclaim the lost territory in one fell swoop, and even take retaliatory action, marching to conquer your homeland?" Unexpectedly, upon hearing

this, Wu Xiong Yi smiled smugly, then glanced at Ye Tianlong with disdain and said, "Since that's the case, why don't you hurry up and make your move, and give it a try?"

"Do you think I'm just talking? Yu Zhu, make your move!" Ye Tianlong's face darkened, and he shouted.

With these words, Wu Xiong Yi was clearly stunned. Wasn't there only this somewhat arrogant man in the tent? Why would he suddenly give an order? Could there be someone else in the tent...?

Before he could continue to speculate, he felt a gust of wind behind his head, and a chilling coldness poured down from above and behind him.

In a flash, he understood. Since the other party had so brazenly infiltrated his tent, how could he be sure there wasn't another force lurking above? It seemed he still hadn't figured out the man before him. In that instant, a profound regret and remorse welled up within him!

He closed his eyes, silently awaiting the swiftness of a blade across his neck. Based on his martial arts skills, from the moment he saw the man leap from the city wall during the day, he knew resistance was futile.

"Hiss..."

A soft whistling sound of a sword brushed past his ears, and he felt a chill on his thick neck. In these last moments, his reason still told him not to cry out and lose his dignity. So, he tightly closed his eyes, waiting for the moment he lost consciousness to arrive quickly.

However, a long time passed, and Wu Xiong Yi did not experience the moment he expected.

Although his eyes were closed, his six senses clearly told him that everything around him was as before; he was still in his familiar bedchamber. He could even feel the faint breath of the arrogant man opposite him, and the undisguised smile on his face.

He slowly opened his eyes, and the scene before him was exactly as he had sensed: Ye Tianlong was sitting with his legs crossed, staring intently at him with a smile. The slight chill on his neck was still there. Recalling the previous scene, his curiosity was piqued, and he immediately turned around to see who was behind him. What he saw

made him gasp in surprise.

Behind him stood a pretty woman in a close-fitting outfit, with willow-leaf eyebrows, large eyes, a thin mouth, and a pointed chin; on her own, she was quite striking. However, when she held that dark sword to her neck, the chilling killing intent emanating from her eyes reminded him that this young lady behind him was not someone to be trifled with. Her ability to sneak into the bedchamber without him even noticing was no less than that of the most famous demon swordsman in the continent's assassination industry (however, he never expected that Yu Zhu was originally a demon swordsman).

"What do you mean?" After calming down again, Wu Xiong Yi looked at Ye Tian Long and asked.

"Why didn't I kill you?" Ye Tian Long changed his posture and continued, "Can you imagine what would have happened if that sword had continued to slide deeper?"

"What do you want? Just say it!" Wu Xiong Yi shifted his body and changed his sitting posture as if the dark sword Yu Zhu didn't exist around his neck.

"Fine, that's straightforward. You know that given the current situation, once the two armies outside start fighting, it will inevitably be a chaotic battle. Regardless of who wins or loses, the final outcome will likely be unprecedentedly tragic, especially for ordinary soldiers who will sacrifice their lives. Are you willing to fight a battle?" For some reason, Ye Tian Long blurted out these words. If he had said these words half a year ago, he would probably have slapped himself a few times. He, Ye Tian Long, had never been the kind of person to have such thoughts for someone unrelated!

"You mean I should withdraw? Do you think that's possible, under these circumstances?" Wu Xiong Yi showed no signs of being subdued, remaining remarkably calm.

"I will order the outer cavalry to retreat first. How about that, can you rest assured now?" Ye Tianlong's words pinpointed Wu Xiong Yi's concerns. Having chosen this method to resolve the stalemate, he was willing to play this game according to these rules.

"Who exactly are you, and why have you chosen this approach?" Wu Xiong Yi countered with a question.

"If I tell you who I am, will you agree to our agreement?"

Ye Tianlong said, waving his hand. Yu Zhu immediately sheathed her sword and flashed back to Ye Tianlong's side, a scene that astonished Wu Xiong Yi even more.

"I need a reasonable explanation. You are well aware that this is a battle between two armies," Wu Xiong Yi said noncommittally.

"As for the reasons, I've already made them very clear before. Of course, I think this consideration is unprecedented in any of my previous battles; this is the first time. As for the deeper reasons, I don't think it's necessary to report them to you, General! As for me, I might as well tell you, General, that I am Ye Tianlong, the new Emperor of Fast." Ye Tianlong spoke the last sentence almost word by word.

"Ye..." A trace of shock flashed across Wu Xiong Yi's face, but he quickly recovered, though his heart was churning like a stormy sea.

How ironic this was! Since he, "Tiger of Feishan," personally led the most elite main force of Chu Yue to invade the southern border of Fast, he had won every battle and conquered every city. But today, the Emperor of the dignified Fast Empire not only charged into the enemy lines repeatedly, but even more shockingly, the ruler of a nation dared to venture into the enemy commander's camp alone. For a seasoned commander-in-chief, this was a soul-crushing insult!

Perhaps some might think that being defeated by Ye Tianlong was not shameful, and might even be an honor. However, for a true general, the sight of the enemy emperor personally leading an expedition, if it could severely demoralize the enemy, would be an unparalleled honor. Moreover, his own command tent was heavily fortified; for the enemy emperor to come and go so

freely—what else could it be but incompetence on his part as commander-in-chief? "Alright, since it is Emperor Fastia himself, I must give him face. I will lift the siege." After some internal deliberation, Wu Xiong Yi readily agreed.

If it could truly resolve the stalemate, he would be happy to accept it. The situation was clear: as he had analyzed earlier, if the two sides clashed head-on, although he was determined to win, it would obviously come at a great cost. This was extremely unwise for a foreign army deep in enemy territory. Furthermore, having just narrowly escaped death, to be honest, he was truly unwilling to give up his life.

"Very well, I believe what you say, General. I will order the withdrawal of the outer cavalry as soon as I return!" Ye Tianlong stood up abruptly, appearing determined to keep his word.

Wu Xiong Yi rose from the couch, walked to Ye Tianlong, and looked him directly in the eye, saying, "Sir, I want to clarify that although you have not taken my life today, you have obtained this agreement. I do not consider this as your mercy. With this stalemate resolved, I will not launch an attack on your side for two days. However, after this, my army and yours will still be at odds. There is no such thing on the battlefield! Of course, if you feel you have suffered a loss and regret it, you can still take my head now!"

"Hmph, General Wu, you can rest assured. Even if you use these words to try and frame me, it doesn't matter. I, Ye Tianlong, keep my word. After this stalemate is resolved, I will definitely fight you on the battlefield. Farewell."

Ye Tianlong laughed heartily, leaving behind a meaningless remark, and slipped out of the tent.

It was already completely dark outside. As soon as Ye Tianlong and Yuzhu left their tent, they immediately quickened their pace. Being in the heart of the enemy camp, they couldn't guarantee that Wu Xiongyi wouldn't take action. If ambushes sprang up everywhere, and they were truly surrounded by thousands of troops, even if their lives weren't in danger, they would likely be exhausted from the fighting. That would be a terrible loss.

However, after passing several tents, they found no movement from the enemy. The two were slightly relieved. It seemed that this "Tiger of Feishan" was indeed no ordinary general; even in a battle between two armies, he was a man of his word and kept his promises!

Nevertheless, the two dared not be careless. Taking advantage of the cover of night, they quickly left the Chu Yue army camp and began their journey back to their own camp!

Huan Yun was extremely anxious in her tent. From the moment Ye Tianlong and Yuzhu left their camp to scout the enemy camp, her heart had been pounding non-stop.

From dusk till nightfall, there was no sign of them. She wondered if Ye Tianlong and his group had succeeded, or if they had fallen into a trap and met with misfortune. With Long Ling'er and Cynthia not around, she had no way of knowing.

What if Ye Tianlong had met with some misfortune? How could she explain this to Princess Qian and the ladies of the capital? Before they set off, Princess Qian had specifically discussed many things with her, a crucial point being to take good care of this man to the best of her ability!

Now, with the situation outside like this, she had never experienced anything like it before. Her mind was already in turmoil, and the safety of the key figures was unknown. What was she to do?

Just as she was anxiously pacing in her tent, Ye Tianlong and Yu Zhu, dressed in a close-fitting outfit, lifted the curtain and entered. Judging from their slightly excited expressions, it seemed their trip had been quite fruitful.

She was momentarily excited, seemingly forgetting something, and quickly stepped forward, her eyes misty as she said, "Your Majesty, you're finally back! I was so worried!"

Ye Tianlong, however, was perceptive. His expression was strange as he said, "Eh, would our Dean of the Heavenly Mystery Research Institute be so worried for me?"

Huan Yun immediately realized what was happening, her face flushing crimson. Standing before Ye Tianlong, she didn't know whether to retreat or stay. Her awkwardness revealed the unique reserve and shyness of a young girl, as charming as a water lily.

Yu Zhu, who was always very knowledgeable about men's ways, smiled slightly, as if enjoying the man's performance of his signature move once again.

She knew that this clever Heavenly Mystery Clan girl would definitely not escape the clutches of a lustful man. The problem was, from the girl's shy expression, it seemed she also harbored different feelings for him. It remained to be seen how they would portray this battlefield romance in the days to come.

"Oh dear, I have to go out." After a while, Huan Yun seemed to have thought of a way to get rid of the awkwardness. She let out a shy cry and tried to slip out of the tent.

"Hahaha, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Let's discuss some serious matters!" Ye Tianlong laughed heartily and walked straight to the tiger-head chair in the tent and sat down.

Huan Yun was affectionately stopped by Yu Zhu, who half-embraced her shoulder and whispered a few words in her ear. The two immediately burst into giggles. Fortunately, there was no one else in the tent at the moment, otherwise they would have been accused of disrespecting their lord and fooling around in the military camp!

"Hmm, what are you whispering about?" The man, who had just suppressed his wicked thoughts, was intrigued again by the sight of the two trembling together and couldn't help but ask.

Before Yu Zhu could answer, Huan Yun, who had finally escaped the embarrassment, immediately replied, "Your Majesty, we weren't saying anything. Your Majesty, you just said you wanted to discuss important matters. Please enlighten us!"

Ye Tianlong didn't intend to let them off so easily, but thinking of the safety of the many soldiers outside, he decided to suppress his wild thoughts for now and make a plan after completely resolving today's stalemate. Anyway, they were always around him; surely he wouldn't be afraid of not having another opportunity in the future?

"Regardless of the reason, you will command these cavalry. I now order all outer cavalry to retreat!" Having made up his mind, Ye Tianlong conveyed his first order to Huanyun with a serious expression.

"Remove the encirclement, Your Majesty, are you sure?" Huanyun clearly did not understand the reason and asked doubtfully.

"I will explain to you later. Now execute the order!" Ye Tianlong immediately seemed to have become a different person, speaking with unparalleled authority.

"Yes, Huanyun obeys!" Although Huanyun agreed verbally, her clear eyes could not hide her doubt. Before leaving the tent, she looked at the silent Yuzhu with confusion.

Turning back, Ye Tianlong said to Yuzhu, "Hurry back to Long'er. Firstly, to convey the order, and secondly, to make preparations. In case that guy changes his mind halfway and launches a surprise attack on them after our army retreats, all our efforts of this day will be wasted."

"Yes, young master, I know what to do!" Yuzhu replied and immediately left the tent.

Ye Tianlong was left alone in the tent, and he began to ponder the possibilities of developing various events in the southern border region in the future...
