Lu Zhen's ears twitched as he had a classical smile on his face, hearing these old n arguing about the sa topic again and again.
"What's the point of the argunt, as in the end, soone has to do it," he mused with hints of annoyance.
"So, what should I do with these old guys…" His face remained expressionless as he looked at the map made with leather from so unknown animal in front of him, featuring various colours. However, the mark of the river was in red, making it highly contrasting with the background.
Basically, the problem was that due to the deep river, these passes to reach the Xia family were challenging. Since it was surrounded on all sides, you couldn't just go around.
The rivers in this world were terrifyingly dangerous places, as their depth could be compared to Lu Zhen's previous world ocean and seas. Although he hadn't asured it, he knew so knowledge of the world, and even though the length was the sa, it would pose a challenge even for military-trained martial artists.
However, that was not the only reason why it was so terrifying. It's because of the terrifying monsters residing in the river. This world followed similar physics to his previous world; as one went deeper, the density beca more terrifying. Just imagining the power of the monsters residing in the river, so might have even reached the first-stage martial realm or even higher.
Disturbing those beasts made Lu Zhen feel a shiver down his back as he broke out in a cold sweat.
So, the river was the most difficult pass to penetrate, and none of these old foxes wanted to attack this pass, even though it was the most vital point of the defence. However, Lu Zhen internally smirked as he thought of sothing.
"I will attack the pass."
A cold tone resounded in the camp, instantly quieting the heated debate as all eyes focused on Lu Zhen now.
"I will attack the pass," Lu Zhen repeated, noting the surprised gaze of all the grand elders.
"This… young master…"
"Although your strength is undeniable, defeating a second-stage martial artist, if sothing were to happen to you…"
Lu Zhen's gaze turned cold when he heard this.
"Although they are old foxes, their martial hearts have already collapsed," he thought internally. Martial artists had to continuously improve themselves ti and again; even with Lu Zhen's cheats, the ti taken to improve was the only thing that had changed. He couldn't just sleep and be lazy all day and expect to improve his realm. He still had to train his martial skills to beco stronger.
Although these old n might have had fierce determination and willpower in the past when they were young, now, enjoying the comforts of their power and position, they had forgotten the most important thing for martial arts progress: the will to constantly face all challenges head-on and fight until they can't till there last breath.
Even when the lights are cut off, and the entire world scorns you as a failure, as long as you can improve yourself, thyself will always win.
But Lu Zhen didn't bla them, as these people were too old, and their reasons were still sensible.
Lu Zhen just kept silent, making the entire room quiet, and the grand elders also tactfully remained silent, seeing the non-responsive Lu Zhen.
The chilling wind blew from outside as the previous debate turned into a shunned silence that engulfed the camp.
"Hahahaha, young master, you are definitely a young hero, but if sothing really happens to you, it will be an even greater loss for the family, the ancestors, and your mother…" the cyan-haired man spoke, sending a shiver down everyone's spine.
If sothing really happened to Lu Zhen, both their wrath wasn't sothing they could handle. Lu Zhen's safety was even more critical than the war; after all, he was the key to their rise in the future.
Lu Zhen frowned when he heard this, remaining still. "I will still attack it. Don't worry, grand elders, you don't have to bear any consequences, as I will contact my mother," he simply stated as he left the camp, his tone was so commanding that made no one to refute him, as they couldn't and didn't dare to.
All the old n looked at the hulking back of Lu Zhen and couldn't help but have reminiscent eyes, rembering their youth. Although they weren't as domineering as Lu Zhen was, as they didn't have the capability to be, they were still all prideful to the bones.
"Sigh, we have gotten old."
All the others nodded their heads with the sa understanding.
"Prepare the horses; we are going to my army."
"Yes, young master," Lu Wi said, confused, as she went to the stable of the camp and saw the two horses there with their nas on it.
The horses differed in appearance; one was robust, with a light gold embroidery, the largest among the others, its muscles protruding out, and its mane large and strong, giving it a majestic look. The other horse was slim, yet it carried a sharp elegance that contrasted the powerful stature of the first horse as it moved with a slender grace.
The mont the slender horse saw Lu Wi, its eyes lit up, and it imdiately went up to her, nuzzling and licking her affectionately. Despite Lu Wi's previous emission of a terrifying killing aura, her eyes softened as she allowed the horse to lick her in return.
She slowly kissed the neck of the horse with a gentle expression, gracefully climbing up onto its back. As Lu Wi took the reins of the other horse, which reluctantly followed.
"Let's go slowly," she lightly kicked, and instantly, the horses started to move.
The elegant horse neighed, jumping with its front hooves, and they proceeded at a moderate pace, neither too slow nor too fast. In no ti, they arrived at the entrance of the command centre camp, where Lu Zhen was sitting in ditation.
