Chapter 175: Period of calm

Even though they had decided to not hold back against Jian Shen due to the recent news they received, Wan Han chose to no longer send small groups of his army to harass the Yueliang Empire.

Given that Jian Shen would most likely continue to stay near the wall unless someone in the Genesis Realm went there personally everyone else sent there would just be sheep being sent to slaughter.

And if someone in the Genesis Realm was sent to deal with Jian Shen, the chances of his master attacking them wasn't out of the picture.

Due to this, the Taiyang Empire stopped sending soldiers out to regularly launch an attack on the wall.

Learning of this news, Li Qiao who knew that this was all because of Jian Shen and Li Mei felt very that the disrespect he received from them was a small price to pay to achieve this.

Now that neither side was attacking or defending against each other, a weird state of total peace filled the both Empires.

But the truly smart ones knew that this was just the calm before the storm, and it wouldn't be long before the real war started.

As for the one who caused all of this to happen, Jian Shen spent everyday training himself to the limit by repeatedly using the Dance of the Wind God and trying to grasp the most delicate and perfect way of using an Intent of Heaven and Earth.

It was hard in the beginning, but after doing the same thing a few hundred times Jian Shen could now create a pseudo Dance of the Wind God boost while not having to dance.

Unfortunately, the boost only had 75% strength in comparison to the boost achieved by the Dance of the Wind God.

The durations, however, had no limit and could last as long as Jian Shen controlled the Intent of Wind.

Sitting on the wall and watching Jian Shen who was surrounded din terrifying gales which would even split metals into two, Li Mei looked towards the sky and said, "Since you're already here, why not come out?"

The next moment a peal of gentle laughter originated out of nowhere followed by a woman's words.

"You took a shot in the dark, didn't you?"

Nodding her head while looking towards Xiulan who seemed to appear more frequently as the days went by, Li Mei asked, "Which Empire are even you a general of?"

"It's because I still value my duties that I haven't already left the Taiyang Empire."

Sitting beside Li Mei and talking to each other as if they were life long friends when they hadn't even properly introduced themselves to each other, the Flower General began talking about the situation both of their Empires were in.

"Sigh.... It wouldn't be long before the war starts... "

Nodding her head in response, Li Mei looked towards Jian Shen who was still training with a smile and said, "I'm not sure whether it is the two Emperors who are more excited for the war, or him."

Having been looking towards Jian Shen the whole time, Xiulan nodded her head in agreement.

"Even though he looks so excited and is training so enthusiastically, I doubt he'd ask for anything even if he helps the Yueliang Empire win."

"As someone who belongs to the Taiyang Empire, you aren't supposed to say such words right?"

"Huh? I only said 'if he helps', not 'when he helps'. No matter how strong Jian Shen is, in the end he is still a Dharma Realm Cultivator."

Shrugging her shoulders a little, Xiulan continued by saying, "Even though he can jump realms to kill Saint Realm Cultivators, he won't be able to do anything against Genesis Realm Cultivators."

Nodding her head since she agreed, Li Mei spoke with a smile.

"Indeed he won't be able to influence the battle between the Genesis Realm Cultivators. But since we are talking about that, our side has more Genesis Realm Cultivators than your side."

"You've already included the Sect Leaders, haven't you?"

"Oh please, the Sect Leaders joining the fight was something which had been decided even before the war started. If those who came here didn't have any interest in fighting, why are their counterparts holding the fort back at the Sects?"

Not saying anything since even she knew all about this from the beginning, Xiulan looked towards Li Mei who had a smile on her face as if she had already won the war and said, "Wipe that smile off your face girl. You haven't won the war yet."

"Oh... Is a Half-step Genesis Cultivator like you going to make up for the lack of experts on your side?"

Shaking her head, Xiulan said, "I'm not going to say what it is, but we have a trump card which is going to shock you all."

"A trump card?"

Turning in surprise towards the sweat-covered Jian Shen who suddenly appeared behind them, Li Mei who was used to seeing him like this didn't think much about it.

But Xiulan who was seeing how much more handsome Jian Shen was after he just finished his day-long training session, couldn't help but purr a little.

Turning her head away since Jian Shen was looking at her, Xiulan coughed and said, "I need to leave. See you later."

"What's wrong with her?"

"I have an idea. But it's more fun if I don't say anything."

Saying so, Li Mei ignored the sweat on Jian Shen's body and hugged it his while her lips found their target without much trouble.
