“How did you know that the Ghost Concubine collaborated with Qing Hun?” Di Zhe asked.

“Mu Lan told me.” Sima You Yue said.

“Seems like the network of the Abyss of Hell on Ghost Realm is better than we expected.” Di Zhe said. “We received this information recently, but because of the current situation, it’s useless to reveal it. And there wasn’t any strong proof.”

“Mu Lan was also being friendly by revealing this information. And it could only hold on this long because he promised to give me three months’ time and promised that Qing Hun wouldn’t attack the Ghost Realm in that period of time, so I could save Mother.” Sima You Yue continued, “But Ghost Concubine is still around, it’s tough.”

“No wonder Qing Hun has been keeping watch outside for over three months without attacking. I thought he had some trick up his sleeves, I didn’t think there was such a thing.” Di Zhe finally understood why the odd occurrence.

“Ghost Concubine actually left it for your Grandfather to deal with as it seemed more appropriate.” Mo Yu said.

“Then we shall let her live for another two days.” Sima You Yue snorted as she wasn’t in a good mood.

“Master, how do we deal with those people?” Di Yi asked from outside.

Initially, Di Zhe and Mo Yu planned to teach them a lesson. However, it couldn’t affect the interest of Soul Region, so they dropped the act in these two days. But since there was a change in the plan, he couldn’t be seen conscious now.

After some planning, all the Princes came in and asked while seeing the physician and Di Zhe who was lying on the bed, “How is General Di?”

“Still the same, sigh.” The physician shook his head as he put on a helpless appearance.

“Is there no other way to get him to wake up? We can’t hold on any longer anymore!”

“Your Highness, what do you mean by you can’t hold on any longer? Are you saying that Qing Hun is breaking through your defensive perimeter?” Mo Yu asked pensively.

“This… not yet, but almost.” That Prince said.

“When will the General wake up?”

“Didn’t you say Di Zhe was useless earlier? You said there was no difference if he was here or not. What changed your mind suddenly that you want him to wake up?” Mo Yu mocked.

“Master Mo Yu, don’t tease us anymore.” The Prince wasn’t angry. On the contrary, he continued in a good temperament, “We didn’t come to realise General Di Zhe’s importance earlier, that was why we didn’t trust him. Now we all know.”

“Really?”

“Of course.”

“Then I shall believe you for once!” Mo Yu spoke as he went beside Di Zhe and fed him a pill and said, “We just got this pill just now and have yet to let him try it. If he could wake up after taking it, we can act in two days. If not, you can just take it as he doesn’t exist!”

The Princes stared at Di Zhe, no one was suspicious of his words. Because they knew although Mo Yu had a big temperament and weird character, he wouldn’t lie.

Who knew that he was exactly lying to them!

Their attention was all on Di Zhe as they wanted to know if he would be conscious.

Please, please, he must wake up!

But one hour passed, two hours passed, and there was no movement from Di Zhe. Half a day passed, and just when they were about to give up hope, Di Zhe’s finger moved slightly. The little change was noticed by all the Princes as they stared at him the whole time.

“He moved!”

“He really moved!”

“He did!”

“That’s great!”

The Princes were excited. There would be hope if he woke up.

Di Zhe opened his eyes drowsily as if he didn’t know where he was.

“General….”

“Your Highness, General is a responsible person. Now that he is awake, he wouldn’t ignore Ghost Realm’s plight. He is still unwell, so it’s better if you let him give him peace for two days.” Mo Yu emphasised on the word ‘peace’.

The Princes knew what he meant. However, he was right. Di Zhe couldn’t get up now.

“We’ll head back then. Hope that General will get well soon, we might not be able to hold for another two days.” The Prince left after he spoke.

After they left, Di Zhe swung himself off the bed with a gloomy face. It made him furious that they had stared at him for such a long time.

“I thought you would make them wait longer.” Mo Yu said faintly.

“You try letting those you dislike, stare at you for so long.” Di Zhe groaned as he looked unhappy.

Also these people weren’t the real enemy, they were neither Ghost Concubine nor Qing Hun’s men, so he needed to hold back on the punishment. Also, it was time for him to wake up from the coma.

“Let’s see if they can hold on for these two days.” Mo Yu felt that he shouldn’t have high expectations of these people.

“Let’s see. I’ll go and look for Little Aunt.” Di Zhe changed his clothes, then went to look for Yu Ke Luo. He went to where they were staying and saw three of them chatting in the pavilion of the courtyard. They had smiles on their faces, looking joyous and harmonious.

Outside of the Immortal Hex City, there were fights everyday and it finally became peaceful.

Qing Hun sat in the barracks with Xiao He and a few commanders.

“Your Honour, we’ve been like this for a month. It’s like scratching an itch and it’s boring! When can we actually attack them?” A tall giant man with a full beard asked impatiently.

The man was Ninth Great Commander Luo. He had the harshest character and loved to go to war and he was on the front line.

He liked real wars and not the bickering type or small fights like this. That was why Qing Hun only allowed him to send out a small portion of troops to fight, and he had been holding back.

“That’s right, Your Honour, we’ve already waited here for two months. What are we exactly waiting for?” Others asked.

“His Honour and Mu Lan had discussed before, he made His Honour promise him to wait for three months.” Xiao He said.

“What? Who is Mu Lan to intervene in our problems? Your Honour, why did you promise him?” Commander Luo shouted unhappily, attracting Xiao He’s rebuke.

“Commander Luo, watch your words!” Xiao He frowned.

Commander Luo didn’t dare to criticise him like before after seeing Xiao He get angry, but he was still unhappy.

“His Honour must have his own reason for that.” Hua Wu Xiang was able to keep his composure.

Qing Hun didn’t want anything to happen internally and didn’t want the morale to slide, “Mu Lan had indirectly saved my life before. I promised him that I’ll bid on one of his requests.”

“He used that request to ask His Honour to wait for three months?” Commander Luo asked.

“That’s right.”

“But, these three months are precious to us. If we missed out on this opportunity for war…”

Qing Hun shook his head, “I want to use this opportunity to return the favour.. It would be better to get the troops out into the Abyss of Hell after. Wouldn’t it be more troublesome if he asked me to retreat after I get the troops out?”
