CHAPTER 363: Bold and Unrestrained, the First Barrier!
Diwu Qingrou had been waiting for Jing Menghun to break through this critical realm on his own. A personal breakthrough is entirely different from being guided by others; it directly affects Jing Menghun's future achievements!
However, today, Jing Menghun still hadn’t made any breakthrough. Diwu Qingrou felt that Chu Yang had been struggling to survive repeatedly from the brink of death, creating miracles time and again, which prompted her to give him a hint.
Yet, upon understanding, Jing Menghun still hesitated and wavered, which left Diwu Qingrou disappointed and she left.
If she were to forcibly bring Jing Menghun into the upper three days in this state, he would probably just be a living corpse.
Diwu Qingrou's judgment of Chu Yang was also extremely precise! In terms of intelligence, strategies, and schemes, Diwu Qingrou surpassed Chu Yang by more than a notch; when it came to political maneuvering, Chu Yang was far behind!
But there was one thing in which Diwu Qingrou could never compare to Chu Yang.
Because Chu Yang had no retreat; he could only move forward, only succeed; once he failed, it would be an irreversible calamity! Therefore, in terms of his obsession with success, Chu Yang was a thousand times more intense than Diwu Qingrou!
He had staked his entire life on it! Every moment, he was walking a tightrope on the edge of a cliff; one misstep would mean irreversible disaster!
Especially since Chu Yang held two great weapons: the experience of being reborn and the Nine Calamity Sword! This was something that no matter how talented Diwu Qingrou was, she could not compare.
But Diwu Qingrou was different.
She had escape routes, and not just one!
Thus, the gap between Diwu Qingrou and Chu Yang also lay in their mental states! Just as Jing Menghun could not break through his timid mindset, Diwu Qingrou could not reach Chu Yang's level!
This time, Diwu Qingrou pursuing Chu Yang was merely an effort on her part; since Chu Yang had already escaped, everything would be left to Jing Menghun and the Golden Horse Knights Hall. As for Diwu Qingrou, her hands were tied with countless affairs, and nothing could be done without her, so she could only rush back to the Xiang Residence to oversee the situation and prepare for battle.
If the same situation occurred with Chu Yang, it would be entirely different: he would definitely chase hundreds of miles to cut Diwu Qingrou down!
Because Chu Yang knew that as long as Diwu Qingrou was alive, the world would fall into his hands! Diwu Qingrou did not have such awareness.
Moreover, Diwu Qingrou was confident that everything was under her control, holding the heaven and earth in her grasp!
If she had known in advance that all her efforts and lifetime's dedication would ultimately be destroyed in Chu Yang's hands, she would have relentlessly pursued him. But the problem was... she didn’t know!
Jing Menghun quickly calmed his chaotic mindset and continually issued commands!
Yet even at this point, he still hadn’t realized that he had made a significant error: in front of the city gate, he only knew someone had impersonated him to leave North City Gate, and in his anger, he slapped the officer guarding the city to death before chasing out.
He was unaware of the matter concerning his jade pendant!
Moreover, this matter was truly baffling; to be honest, even now, Jing Menghun was still confused: to whom had he entrusted his jade pendant?
Diwu Qingrou suggested it might have been the Nine Calamity Sword Master, but that was just a possibility.
He would not have linked the jade pendant to Chu King of Hell, so… this oversight was not too much to criticize...
The net of the Golden Horse Knights Hall was spreading from Zhongzhou City layer by layer to the north.
Jing Menghun focused all his attention on the area thirteen hundred miles north of Zhongzhou! Because this was a continuous mountain forest and also the only path to Iron Cloud; no matter which way one took, it could not be avoided! The Great Zhao Army had four hundred thousand troops gathering here!
