The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

If he knew that there was a Core Formation stage demonic cultivator somewhere, he would send two Core Formation Snow Guards to eliminate them.

However, if he sent two Core Formation Snow Guards over and discovered that there was only one Foundation Building stage demonic cultivator there, it would be like killing a chicken with a machete.

There were only so many Snow Guards in the Northern Region, and wasting even a little combat power in this situation would give the demonic cultivators a chance to win.

Moreover, he was not sure what the demonic sects were trying to accomplish by sending so many people to infiltrate the Northern Region.

"..."

Chen Yin closed his eyes and let out a breath. He tried to deduce this matter with the Star Reading Art, but with his cultivation, he was unable to see through the meaning of the stars like the Immortal Matriarch.

He asked the heavens, but the heavens did not respond.

If he asked the people, they were too understaffed to provide him with information.

Just as he was thinking hard, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

A palace maid in a snow-white gauze skirt, holding a parchment scroll, walked up the stairs of the Stargazing Platform and bowed. "Imperial Advisor, Commander of the Heavenly Wind City Snow Guard, Xu Mulan has sent a jade slip."

"Heavenly Wind City..."

Hearing this, Chen Yin's gaze swept across the sand table in front of him and located the Heavenly Wind City at a glance.

Then, he used his spiritual energy to lift a black flag beside him, placing it in the position of the Heavenly Wind City on the sand table.

"Demonic Cultivators have also appeared in the Heavenly Wind City?"

"Yes, according to the jade slip, it's a Nascent Soul demonic cultivator. Commander Xu hopes that Cold Moon City can send a few Snow Guards in the Nascent Soul stage to take him down."

Chen Yin frowned and said directly, "No."

Now, all the cities in the Northern Region wanted Cold Moon City to send them people, but where would Cold Moon City have so many combat forces to mobilize?

There were a total of forty-six Nascent Soul cultivators in the Snow Guard. Except for the seven who stayed in Cold Moon City, the rest had been assigned to guard the immortal cities with important spiritual veins.

Although Heavenly Wind City also occupied a spirit stone vein, its importance was far less than that of the pass and the spiritual vein point of the Frozen River City, for example.

Hearing this, the palace maid was also somewhat helpless. "Imperial Advisor... then, how should I reply to Commander Xu?"

"What is Xu Mulan's current cultivation level?"

"...Late stage of Core Formation."

"Then, let her hold the city for at least four months. After four months, I will send the Snow Guards of the Flowing Snow City as reinforcements."

"Understood..." The maid nodded but did not leave. Instead, she stepped forward and handed over the parchment scroll. "Imperial Advisor, this map was also sent by Commander Xu."

"Map?"

Chen Yin frowned slightly, turned around again, and took the map with his spiritual power, spreading it out in front of him.

He didn't quite understand. What was the purpose of sending a map?

But when he saw the densely packed marks drawn on the map of the Northern Region, especially the places highlighted in red ink, Chen Yin's originally cold face instantly showed a look of astonishment.

Not only did this map clearly mark twelve of the eighteen formation knots of the Northern Region Protective Formation, but it also seemed to mark all the demonic cultivators' hidden lairs.

Chen Yin couldn't believe it, and he quickly looked at the sand table in front of him, comparing its contents with the map.

All the demonic cultivators' locations marked on the sand table were also marked on the map.

Moreover, the map also marked some locations from which he had not received any information yet...

However, this also increased the credibility of this map.

Chen Yin frowned. This map was undoubtedly a timely gift to him, but it also followed the question: Where did Xu Mulan get the information?

"Where did she get this map?"

"According to the jade slip, it was inferred based on information from the black market. It is also said that the demonic cultivators' target is likely to be the main knot of the Northern Region's Protective Formation..."

Inferring the information from the black market?

She had inferred the location of so many demonic cultivators and even the knots of the Northern Region's Protective Formation?

Although Chen Yin was a bit skeptical, this map was proof of Xu Mulan's outstanding ability of collecting intelligence.

He looked at the maid, frowning. "Huh... why is someone with such abilities stationed in a small place like Heavenly Wind City? Xu Mulan... what is her background?"

"Commander Xu is not from an aristocratic family. She has a younger sister in the Qi Refining stage, named Xu Xiyue. The two sisters grew up in Heavenly Wind City. Her scores in the gun test and written test of the Snow Guard were only B-level..."

Chen Yin was even more puzzled when he heard this, but he let it go. "The answer remains the same, let her protect Heavenly Wind City, and she doesn't have to take the initiative to fight that Nascent Soul demonic cultivator."

"Yes, sir..."

After giving the order, Chen Yin picked up the map and summoned his flying sword. He stepped on it and headed toward the Celestial Palace floating under the moon.

...

In the jade-tiled main hall of the Celestial Palace, music was played, and a woman wearing a double dragon crown sat on a wicker chair, lazily propping her cheek with her hands and yawning.

In front of her, dozens of dancers waved their sleeves vigorously, but they didn't seem to arouse her interest at all.

Empress Sun Juehu's gaze slowly shifted from the dancers to the bright moon in the sky. For some reason, she suddenly thought of that old woman, Si Xuanji, and gritted her teeth in anger.

She then remembered that at the Bright Star Sect meeting, Si Xuanji cursed "Idiot!" and then left abruptly in the middle of the debate.

She didn't know why Si Xuanji had left, but this was the first time she saw some frustration and worry on the old woman's face...

Why was she so frustrated?

And who was the old woman worried about?

Who in this world would make her look like that? Who could make her lose her composure?

Who was it?

Thousands of years ago, Si Xuanji broke the moon and killed her master.

She had been thinking about it for a long time, looking for a way to make Si Xuanji pay for her blood debt with blood, but how easy was it to kill Si Xuanji?

However, when she saw Si Xuanji losing composure in the Bright Star Sect at that time, she had a vague feeling that the person who made Si Xuanji so flustered might be the one who could pay for her blood debt with blood.

The more Sun Juehu thought about it, the more curious she became, although she was clueless.

At this moment, a golden flying sword entered the Celestial Palace from the side. Chen Yin walked from the palace gate and came to Sun Juehu, then knelt and respectfully cupped his hands.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Sun Juehu glanced at him with raised eyebrows, and she nodded faintly. Then, she gestured to disperse the dancers. "What's the matter, Imperial Advisor?"
