Chapter 555: Speechless

Speechless . . .

Cha Eun Xiao found himself subjected to a barrage of questions from his Uncle Steward, Song Jue. These incessant inquiries probed his recent accomplishments and his sources of power. n)-o--V/-e))l)-B).I--n

"How did you make such remarkable progress?"

"You've cured me! Explain how you did it."

"Where did you find such a multitude of assassins? Did you engage in some reckless activities?"

Cha Eun Xiao felt exasperated by the relentless interrogation from Song Jue. It seemed he had divulged too much information during a moment of anger, and now he was grappling with the consequences of his forthrightness.

He stammered and fumbled for words. "Well, you see... before that... it's because of something... I was just... um... well..."

Song Jue was left utterly bewildered. "What in the world are you saying?"

In a bid to escape this uncomfortable inquisition, Cha Eun Xiao hastily made his exit.

"You just wait, kid! You'll find yourself back in my clutches one way or another," Song Jue warned with frustration.

The following days brought immense joy to Cha Eun Xiao. He spent his time with Bing-Er, sharing light-hearted conversations, practicing martial arts, holding hands, engaging in affectionate kisses, and more...

During the day, Wan Zhenghao prepared to disburse the rewards to the assassins. Simultaneously, he made arrangements for the upcoming auction.

Feng Monarch had informed him that the next auction would yield returns of at least two hundred and fifty million silver, effectively recouping half of the amount spent on bounties. Wan Zhenghao was thrilled and highly motivated by this news, as he had expended significant resources.

Moreover, Feng Monarch had assured him that after the next auction, he would receive the coveted Weight Losing Dan. This revelation moved Wan Zhenghao to tears.

Finally, Cha Eun Xiao already had the Weight Losing Dan in his possession at the supreme level. Brother Egg had absorbed various medicinal materials from the Wood Space, treasures from the previous auction, materials from Master Bai, and medicines from Lord Ling. It had skillfully crafted an array of supreme dan beads, including the coveted Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan and the elusive Weight Losing Dan.

However, Boss Wan required the gradual transformation offered by the Weight Losing Dan to maintain his hefty appearance. A sudden and drastic change in physique would raise questions and cause problems for Ling-Bao Hall. So, Cha Eun Xiao kept the Weight Losing Dan securely within the Wood Space.

In the past few days, Cha Eun Xiao not only oversaw affairs within Ling-Bao Hall but also maintained a keen interest in the ongoing frontline battles. Several unusual occurrences had altered the course of the war over the past year, and these peculiar events were attributed to the heavens.

For many, these events seemed divine in nature—actions only gods could perform. The explanations ranged from divine intervention to supernatural forces, as the extraordinary nature of these events defied rational explanation.

The first extraordinary occurrence left everyone astounded. As the battle raged on and the Kingdom of Chen faced dire straits, a colossal mountain seemingly fell from the heavens, obstructing the enemy's advance. This unanticipated natural barrier struck terror into the hearts of both kingdoms.

The second remarkable event, while more comprehensible, was no less awe-inspiring. A sudden, torrential rainstorm saved the Kingdom of Chen from near-certain defeat on both its eastern and western fronts. Even the enemy forces found themselves baffled by the inexplicable intervention of the weather.

On the Kingdom of Chen's side, Cha Nantian, the illustrious general, viewed the rainstorm with mixed feelings. While it undoubtedly preserved his army, the downpour had dashed his long-held plans to eradicate the Grassland Wolf.

The third peculiar occurrence further added to the chaos. Prince Hua-Yang, Su Dingguo, withdrew from the southern battlefront to reinforce the eastern forces. General Zhan Qianshan, leading the enemy's eastern army, understood the threat that Su Dingguo posed. To ensure victory, he pressed on relentlessly, leaving a trail of death and destruction in his wake.

The Kingdom of Chen's eastern troops were well aware of Prince Hua-Yang's impending arrival, but under the relentless onslaught of War God Zhan Qianshan, they were on the verge of capitulation. At the critical moment when defeat seemed inevitable, nature delivered another twist.

A deluge, covering the entire Land of Han-Yang, transformed Zhan Qianshan's camp into an aquatic landscape, with the army marooned on numerous isolated highlands. This sudden and unrelenting rainstorm created insurmountable obstacles for the troops. Ordinary soldiers risked drowning, let alone crossing vast expanses of water to engage in combat.

Zhan Qianshan, who had been an invincible warrior, lay stricken with illness as if the heavens themselves had intervened. The succession of rainstorms had dealt a severe blow to his plans.

It was an uncanny sequence of events, raising questions about the Kingdom of Chen's divine favor. War God Zhan Qianshan, who had never placed faith in gods or spirits, shouted his incredulity to the heavens. He was left dumbfounded by this capricious turn of fate.

In an ironic twist, Prince Hua-Yang Su Dingguo's advance was abruptly halted just three hundred miles from the battlefield, as his troops could proceed no further without rest. Forcing them into battle under such conditions would spell certain defeat. Yet, the unexpected rainstorm altered the entire landscape.

As the waters receded, Zhan Qianshan was still eager to fight, but now he faced a rejuvenated and well-rested Prince Hua-Yang and his formidable Iron Troops. It was no longer the same army he had once contended with.
