Half an hour later.

Lin Xuan, carrying the iron hammer, arrived at the mansion where Lu Zhantian was currently residing.

This is a mansion located in the central area of ​​Shanhaiguan. It is luxurious, ancient, and magnificent. There are very few mansions like this in the entire Shanhaiguan area.

In fact.

This is Lu Zhantian's real residence in Shanhaiguan.

As for the First Army's headquarters, it was just a place where Lu Zhantian used to work.

As one of the generals of Shanhaiguan, Lu Zhantian held a very high position in Shanhaiguan.

It definitely belongs to the first tier.

This can be seen from the mansion where he lives.

"Halt! No loitering in front of the General's residence. Leave immediately..."

Lin Xuan and Tie Dachui had just arrived.

They were actually driven away.

The guards at the mansion gate, with unfriendly expressions, blocked Lin Xuan and Tie Dachui's way.

"How dare you! Do you know who's standing in front of you?"

Iron Hammer roared angrily, "This is Lin Xuan, the commander-in-chief of the First Army! Go and report to your general immediately..."

"Commander-in-Chief of the First Army".

The guard's expression changed; although he had never seen Lin Xuan before.

However, he had heard the name Lin Xuan many times!

According to his buddies, Lin Xuan was a killing star who had killed countless experts at the Purple Mansion Realm.

"So it's Commander Lin... Commander Lin, please wait a moment, I'll go and inform him right away..."

The guard's expression changed drastically. He instinctively bowed to Lin Xuan and then rushed into the mansion.

"So reckless, what kind of behavior is that?"

Just then, a shout came from inside the mansion, and a man strode out.

It was Lu Xuan, Lu Zhantian's personal guard.

"Captain Lu, I..."

Upon seeing Lu Xuan, the guard immediately stopped in his tracks and tried to defend himself.

"Alright, you can go now!"

Lu Xuan waved his hand to stop the guard from speaking, then squinted at Lin Xuan and Tie Dachui.

He chuckled, clasped his hands in a salute to Lin Xuan, and said, "Commander Lin, my lord, General Zhan, requests your presence..."

"Um!"

Lin Xuan nodded, his expression unchanged.

After following Lu Xuan into the mansion, they turned several times and finally arrived at a small courtyard.

I saw Lu Zhantian in the ancient pavilion in the courtyard.

At this moment, he was actually drinking tea with Gu Chen.

After Lin Xuan arrived, Lu Zhantian chuckled and said, "Lin Xuan, you've come at just the right time. Here's some freshly delivered Morning Sun Spirit Tea, have a taste..."

Chaoyang Lingcha (Sunrise Spirit Tea).

Lin Xuan's pupils narrowed slightly as he looked at the teacups on the table between the two.

The tea was clear, with a hint of pale blue.

A fragrant aroma of tea wafts through the air; just a slight inhale is enough to refresh the mind and body.

This tea truly lives up to its name as a spiritual tea, containing immense energy comparable to a top-grade yellow-level elixir.

"Marine Corps General really enjoys himself."

Lin Xuan chuckled coldly: "The tea is excellent, comparable to a Yellow-grade elixir, probably rare in the world, but unfortunately... it's tainted with blood..."

As soon as Lin Xuan said this, Lu Zhantian, Gu Chen, and Lu Xuan's expressions changed simultaneously.

His expression was rather unpleasant.

They naturally understood the meaning behind Lin Xuan's words.

The so-called "tainted with blood" does not mean that there is actually blood on the Chaoyang Spirit Tea, but rather that the Chaoyang Spirit Tea is hard to come by.

Chaoyang Lingcha is made from the tea leaves of an ancient tea tree on Chaoyang Peak in Tianwaitian.

However, Chaoyang Peak is not a good place.

Ferocious beasts roam everywhere.

Moreover, its strength is extremely powerful, not much different from that of the Heavenly Cloud Secret Realm.

Every tea-picking season inevitably results in heavy casualties.

It could be said that the tea that Lu Zhantian and his companion were drinking was made with the lives of many soldiers at Shanhaiguan.

That's why Lin Xuan said that this thing was tainted with blood.

It was actually a satire of Lu Zhantian and his companion, accusing them of profiting from the suffering of others.

No wonder Lu Zhantian and Gu Chen's expressions changed; Lin Xuan was practically slapping them in the face in public, practically calling them out by name.

"Commander Lin, you've gone too far with your words."

Gu Chen frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "This Chaoyang Spirit Tea was not harvested by anyone who forced people to do so."

Moreover...

"The general didn't get it for free; he exchanged it for contribution points."

"Hehe, you didn't actually have anyone forcibly mine it, but you love to drink it! And you have a bunch of sycophantic subordinates."

You say these scumbags who climbed up the ranks by flattering you are doing this to curry favor with you.

Would they go to great lengths to harvest this Morning Sun Spirit Tea?

Lin Xuan sneered, his eyes full of disdain as he looked at Gu Chen, and said, "Using coercion, bribery, and threats, you've used every means possible."

snort……

Do you know that all this rubbish tea leaves...

How many soldiers die each year?

Why don't you go and ask how many of these soldiers volunteered?

As soon as Lin Xuan said this...

Lu Zhantian and Gu Chen both changed color at the same time.

"I...I don't know..."

Gu Chen instinctively wanted to defend himself.

"You dare say you really don't know?"

Lin Xuan's eyes were filled with chilling intent as he angrily rebuked, "Or is it that you don't want to know?"

This rebuke was like a thunderclap from the heavens.

It possesses a captivating and awe-inspiring power that sends chills down one's spine.

Gu Chen, in particular, was the first to be affected, and his mind was clouded, as if he was on the verge of going mad.

His face alternated between pale and bluish.

puff!

The next moment, a strange blush appeared on Gu Chen's face, and then he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
