Chapter 341: Valley of Ten Thousand Apes

The army rushed out of the city, galloping madly towards the east.

After running for a while, Xiang Bu\'s expression changed as if he had realized something. He turned back to look at his army and then said to the generals behind him, "Full speed to Moonlight City!"

"Yes!" the generals responded.

Then, Xiang Bu suddenly accelerated, leaving only an afterimage before disappearing from the spot.

"General Xiang is running away on his own," the generals exchanged glances.

"Everyone, the commander only said to head to Moonlight City, not how to get there. Let\'s split up into five groups and take different routes!" a general suggested.

"Agreed!" the generals immediately replied and swiftly split up.

Four hours later...

Xiang Bu was fleeing desperately because Jian Hong had caught up to him. Half an hour ago, Jian Hong had suddenly appeared in front of Xiang Bu, looking at him coldly.

Without Jian Hong making a move, Xiang Bu naturally turned and fled.

Shortly after, Jian Hong appeared again in front of Xiang Bu, and Xiang Bu naturally changed direction to flee.

It seemed like a cat catching a mouse; Jian Hong frightened Xiang Bu into fleeing in all directions.

Gradually, Xiang Bu suddenly realized that Jian Hong wasn\'t playing around but was driving him towards a certain place.

Moonlight City, south of the city.

Jian Hong drove him back here, where he had left the bodies of a million people hanging earlier.

When he saw this, Xiang Bu\'s body hair suddenly rose.

Xiang Bu had previously been puzzled as to why the woman had taken three and a half hours to find herself and saw the city before him.

Jian Hong reached out and carefully examined the memory crystal. Xiang Bu thought of using this opportunity to escape, but suddenly, ten massive earth spikes rose from the ground in a sword-like formation, trapping Xiang Bu in the center.

It was a warning to Xiang Bu!

Xiang Bu waited quietly, not daring to provoke the woman in red any further.

After reviewing the contents of the memory crystal, the woman in red suddenly closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Without opening her eyes, she asked, "Where is Qi Tianhou?"

"Valley of Ten Thousand Apes, it\'s written on the memory crystal. He should still be there. Senior, it\'s not my doing, General Xiao\'s death wasn\'t at my hands!" Xiang Bu hurriedly replied.

"Hoo~"

Jian Hong suddenly opened her eyes, and a strong sword intent emanated from them. With just one glance, Xiang Bu felt a chill all over.

"But you desecrated him," Jian Hong said coldly.

With that said, her sword swiftly thrust towards Xiang Bu.

Seeing the danger, Xiang Bu quickly drew his sword to meet Jian Hong\'s attack.

"Boom!"

From the tip of Jian Hong\'s sword, a huge black sword shadow suddenly appeared, rushing towards Xiang Bu like a unstoppable force, crashing heavily on the city gate not far away.

With a loud bang, the entire southern city gate tower trembled, and under this terrifying strike, the city gate opened with a loud noise.

Too powerful! Xiang Bu wasn\'t even a match for Jian Hong. No, he couldn\'t even block a single strike from her. Split in two, dead to the core. Even Jian Hong\'s strike severed Xiang Bu\'s soul in two. He was thoroughly dead!

After she sheathed her sword, Jian Hong looked towards the sky, sensing the direction. Valley of Ten Thousand Apes?

With a step, a flash of sword light crossed the sky, and Jian Hong\'s figure disappeared without a trace.

Far in the periphery, scouts from various factions lay prone, not daring to breathe.

Who is this woman? Too abnormal! Too powerful!

Zhong Shan, Qian You, A Da, and A Er had originally aimed for Moonlight City to investigate Xiao Wang\'s body. However, they were intercepted midway.

Before a valley, a rugged-looking man bowed respectfully to Princess Qian You.

"Princess, please come inside," the man said to Princess Qian You.

"Yuan Jiang? When did you notice us?" Princess Qian You stared at the man in front of her and asked.

"I was sent by Qi Tianhou to find the princess in Sky City. It just happened that the princess came out that day, and the direction was here, so I\'ve been following since then," the man explained respectfully.

"You\'ve been following us all this time?" Princess Qian You\'s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.

"Please forgive me, I am also acting under Qi Tianhou\'s orders," the man quickly replied.

Princess Qian You glanced at Zhong Shan, who gave her a reassuring look.

"Let\'s go," Princess Qian You frowned.

"Please," Yuan Jiang immediately responded.

Following Yuan Jiang, the four entered the valley.

Within the valley, there were some buildings, mostly crude, but as they ventured deeper, the structures became more refined and even splendid.

Numerous apes and monkeys wielding knives and staves were jumping around, but upon seeing Yuan Jiang leading the four, they naturally kept their distance, not daring to approach.

They continued until they reached the deepest part of the valley. There stood the most magnificent palace! Above the palace plaque, three words were prominently displayed: "Palace of Ten Thousand Apes."

Surrounding the palace were a dozen or so guards wielding sticks, protecting the palace diligently.

However, Zhong Shan noticed something peculiar—they all had ears covered in fur.

Ape Generals? Over a dozen of them? These were all Emperor Realm experts among apes and monkeys!

"Incoming, Qian You!" Qi Tianhou\'s figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the great hall.

Qi Tianhou still adorned himself in proud armor.

Upon stepping out of the hall, Qi Tianhou immediately fixed his gaze on Princess Qian You. Then, he glanced at A Da, A Er, and finally at Zhong Shan. When his eyes met Zhong Shan\'s, Qi Tianhou raised an eyebrow.

"Qian You, come inside," Qi Tianhou said.

Upon hearing Qi Tianhou\'s affectionate address, Princess Qian You furrowed her brow, glancing at Zhong Shan as if afraid of his disapproval. Qi Tianhou, observing this, grew cold momentarily, but in the next moment, that chill turned into a faint smile.

Zhong Shan shook his head, indicating that everything was alright.

"Alright," Princess Qian You nodded.

Together, they entered the grand hall. Inside, a sumptuous feast was laid out.

"Please, everyone, take a seat!" Qi Tianhou gestured from the main seat.

Below were two rows of tables.

On the right side were four seats, occupied by Princess Qian You, Zhong Shan, A Da, and A Er.

On the left were two seats, occupied by two ape generals, one of whom was the guide Yuan Jiang from earlier.

"This is General Yuan Fei," Qi Tianhou pointed to the guide and introduced.

"And this is General Yuan Xin. Not long ago, it was General Yuan Xin who led the hundred apes to capture Xiao Wang," Qi Tianhou said with a smile.

Both ape generals nodded at Princess Qian You, who returned the gesture.

"Lord Dongfang? Marshal Dongfang? The Collapse Plan! The downfall of the Da Yu Dynasty in four years, I admire it!" Qi Tianhou suddenly turned his attention to Zhong Shan.

"Qi Tianhou is too kind. I am ashamed," Zhong Shan replied, feeling increasingly uneasy.

With a wicked smile, Qi Tianhou continued, "There seems to be some misunderstanding between Lord Dongfang and me! Perhaps there was some misunderstanding before I recovered my memories! However, with Qian You here today, regardless of any misunderstandings, let\'s forget about them!"

"Qi Tianhou jests. There is no misunderstanding between us!" Zhong Shan replied quickly. Nevertheless, he grew more vigilant. What was wrong with this Qi Tianhou?

"Hehe, Lord Dongfang is right!" Qi Tianhou chuckled, then waved his hand.

Two wine-pouring maids appeared behind Qi Tianhou—one poured wine for Qi Tianhou, Yuan Fei, and Yuan Xin, while the other poured wine for Princess Qian You, Zhong Shan, A Da, and A Er.

"Gulin, why did you summon us here?" Princess Qian You asked.

"I summoned you here for an important matter to discuss. Let\'s eat and talk. I\'ll toast you all first!" Qi Tianhou raised his wine cup and smiled.

Princess Qian You frowned slightly but still lifted her wine cup. A Da and A Er naturally followed suit.

As Zhong Shan picked up his wine cup, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed, quickly returning to normal. In that moment of contact with the wine cup, Zhong Shan detected something unusual in the wine— the world\'s finest aphrodisiac, Red Phoenix Mist, in its concentrated form! Moreover, the grade of this Red Phoenix Mist was exceptionally high, completely colorless and tasteless.

Most people wouldn\'t notice, but was Zhong Shan an ordinary person? Zhong Shan was the kind of person who knew about such things!
