The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 309: Ceasefire, Head to Jiangdong

Upon hearing this, Fang Mu and Zhang Jue instinctively glanced around. They saw corpses strewn across the battlefield, blood flowing like a river. Those once vibrant lives had now turned to cold corpses. A wave of guilt welled up in their hearts.

Among the corpses were students wearing Yellow Turban University uniforms and Xiliang soldiers in combat uniforms, who had long since fallen in pools of dried blood.

Zhang Jue was silent for a moment and then spoke slowly.

"Zuo Ci, I didn't mean to harm innocent people. I just wanted to establish a peaceful and prosperous world where the people could live and work in peace and contentment."

He pointed in the direction of Donghan Academy.

"Are aristocratic schools necessarily so great? Do poor people with no money have no right to go to school? Just because those people were born into a wealthy family, do poor children have to be trampled under their feet their entire lives? God is unfair, so of course we can only fight for it ourselves!"

Zhang Jiao looked at Fang Mu, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"I ask you, when we face injustice, is it wrong for us to resist on our own?"

"Your idea is right, but your approach is wrong."

Zuo Ci said with a sigh.

"Fighting violence with violence will only deepen hatred and lead to endless war. True peace is not achieved through the use of force, but through the unity and kindness of people."

Fang Mu was deeply moved by Zuo Ci's words. He recalled his actions over the past few days. In his efforts to unify the Han Dynasty as quickly as possible and avoid the formation of the Three Kingdoms, he had indeed lost himself.

He looked at Zhang Jue and Zuo Ci, and the hatred in his eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a hint of understanding.

"Zhang Jue, perhaps Senior Zuo Ci is right. Our fight has not benefited anyone."

Fang Mu spoke, his aura rapidly declining, and the demonic energy enveloping him also quickly dissipated.

"Why don't we just stop here and do something together for this troubled world."

Zhang Jue looked at Fang Mu, a hint of hesitation in his eyes. He knew that letting go of the hatred in his heart would not be easy, especially after the tragic situation that had already occurred.

But looking at the tragic scene before him, he had to admit that Zuo Ci and Fang Mu were right. If the two of them continued to fight, not only would they fight to the death, but more innocent people would be killed or injured.

"Okay, since you've said that, let's put aside the grudge between the two of us for now!"

Zhang Jue finally nodded and said.

"But I have one condition. Even if our goals don't conflict, we must work together to establish a rule. My students must not be sacrificed in vain."

"no problem."

Fang Mu agreed without hesitation.

"As long as we can achieve the unification of the Han Dynasty and your demands are not too excessive, the conditions can be negotiated!"

Zuo Ci looked at the two of them and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"It's great that you can figure it out."

he said happily.

"From now on, the two of you will not engage in combat. This is a ceasefire. As for what you two will do to achieve your goals and what rules you will establish, you can discuss this among yourselves later!"

The smoke from the battlefield had not yet completely dissipated, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air.

Zuo Ci stood in the middle of the battlefield, watching the troops from both sides gradually cleaning up the battlefield, feeling a mixture of emotions in his heart.

There was still a trace of fatigue and confusion in Fang Mu's eyes. He looked at the devastated battlefield in front of him. The fallen lives seemed to be silently accusing the cruelty of war.

Then Fang Mu looked at Zuo Ci, and the doubts in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

"Senior Zuo Ci, why did you suddenly leave Xiliang University and travel thousands of miles to come to Yellow Turban University?"

Zuo Ci's gaze became deep and distant. He sighed softly and spoke slowly.

"I came here for two reasons. First, I heard you were fighting here, the flames of war raging, the lives lost. I couldn't bear to watch countless lives disappear, so I hurried here to stop this senseless slaughter."

As he spoke, he glanced at the tragic scene around him, his eyes full of compassion.

"Secondly, it was your friend Xiu. He sent me news via the time-space phone. He told me that Cao Cao and his men had reached a truce with Jiangdong, and that Xiao Qiao had been captured by Ye Siti. Zhou Yu speculated that Sun Shangxiang and Sun Ce were also missing, and most likely hidden by Ye Siti. Xiu, the Five Tiger Generals, and the Jiangdong Strong Debate Group have reached an agreement to defeat Ye Siti, rescue Xiao Qiao, and search for Shangxiang and Sun Ce."

Zhang Jue frowned slightly when he heard this. He was filled with vigilance towards this new crisis. He spoke.

"Who is this Ye Siti? What ability does he have that would warrant an alliance between Cao Cao and the Jiangdong Qiangbian Group?"

Although Zhang Jue had never met Cao Cao and Zhou Yu, from his daily investigations and his understanding of them from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he knew that it was absolutely impossible for them to cooperate. But now that they had achieved cooperation, it was obvious that Ye Siti was very unusual.

Zuo Ci explained solemnly, "Ye Siti is the former Sun Jian. He is from another dimension. After killing the original Sun Jian of this dimension, he impersonated him and lived for so many years! Now he has almost completed his plan. He plans to rebel, become the leader of the Silver Dimension, and then return to his original dimension to seek revenge!"

Zhang Jue looked at Fang Mu with a strange look, and then asked with some doubt.

"This guy named Ye Si...something, I've never heard of him before. Could he be the one you rely on?"

Fang Mu rolled his eyes at him and didn't want to talk to Zhang Jue.

"What does Xiu mean?"

"Xiu wants you to bring your men to Jiangdong to help, because the leader of the Iron Spacetime said that the recent wormhole in the Silver Spacetime is very unstable. He suspects that the Demon Realm might make some big moves. It's already difficult for Xiu and his brothers to deal with Ye Siti, so dealing with the Demon Realm might be a bit more difficult!"

Fang Mu understood what Zuo Ci meant, and stopped talking. He took Han Sui, Zhang Xiu and others with him and asked them to mobilize the troops and march towards Jiangdong.

……

"Zuo Ci, don't go. Tell me, what's going on?"

Zhang Jue grabbed Zuo Ci who was about to leave. He was confused by the conversation between Zuo Ci and Fang Mu just now.

"What's this about Xiu, what's this about Ye Siti? Explain it to me quickly."

Zuo Ci looked helpless and had to explain what had happened to Zhang Jue.

“So and so, like this and like that!”

"I see!"

Zhang Jue clapped his hands, his eyes sparkling.

"So the wormhole was in Jiangdong all along! I couldn't find it no matter how hard I looked. It turns out that guy hid it!"

Zhang Jiao couldn't help but start to plot in his mind. The previous stories often said that traveling to a certain world requires a special node. Could this wormhole in the Silver Time and Space be the node that would allow him to return to the world he originally lived in?
