"What's going on?" Xiao Zhixing crawled out of the tent, while the others stood ready.

Eagle Two darted out to investigate.

Just then, several scouts who had been on guard outside came running up carrying someone on their backs. "Your Highness, enemy attack! General Bai is seriously injured!"

Ying Er quickly took the person and put a healing pill into Bai Zhixian's mouth.

"Zhongning, Zhongning Yixiantian is in danger..." Bai Zhixian managed to say these words before collapsing completely.

At that moment, several figures came chasing after them.

White plum blossoms and black plum blossoms met each other and engaged in battle.

Xiao Zhixing ordered, "All generals, listen to my command! Extinguish the torches, wrap the horses' hooves in cloth, and return to Yixiantian!"

Those people were quickly killed by Bai Mei and Mo Mei. They seemed not to have expected that there were actually experts here.

Fortunately, this place wasn't far from the narrow pass, and only an hour or so had passed by the time they got back there.

Xiao Zhixing signaled everyone to take cover, and she leaped to the top of a tree to check by the moonlight.

All that could be seen were more than a dozen thick ropes, each as thick as an arm, hanging from a thousand-meter-high cliff, from which men in black slid down one after another.

Below, the narrow gate that blocked the narrow passage opened wide, and one by one, soldiers from the northern frontier emerged from within, silently lining up to await those who would follow.

Xiao Zhixing jumped down and explained the situation in a low voice.

Shi Jiaowu asked, "Should we kill them?"

"No, wait until they're all here."

They waited for more than an hour, and the moon was about to set.

Five thousand people arrived, and after they assembled, they did not linger but headed west.

Bai Mei went to check on the Ningzhou border soldiers lying on the ground. "Fortunately, my subordinates know the antidote for the poison they used, so these more than one hundred people can still be saved."

Xiao Zhixing nodded, "Leave two people to help with the antidote, the rest of you follow me to catch up."

Among those people are several Heavenly Realm experts. If they were to actually go to Xining Pass and catch the Mu family army off guard, the consequences would be unimaginable.

They ran ahead while the other side secretly pursued them. At dawn, the other side stopped, and after passing through, they left the mountains and entered the northwestern grassland and desert area.

It's difficult to hide one's tracks.

The other side understood this, so they changed into Dasheng people's clothes and planned to split up and carry out a stealthy raid.

Xiao Zhixing then stopped hiding his intentions, "Guests from afar, what are you trying to do by sneaking into my Great Sheng like this?"

The leader of the men in black's expression changed slightly. "Defend against the enemy!"

Seeing that Xiao Zhixing had only brought a little over a thousand people with him, he breathed a sigh of relief. Without saying a word to her, he waved his hand, and more than a dozen men in black rushed over.

The five thousand men also began their attack.

Xiao Zhixing smiled, "Good day."

Hidden in the shadows of the trees, Shi Jiaowu and her eight companions leaped out, each facing off against a Heavenly Rank cultivator in a fierce battle.

"How could this be?!" the leader exclaimed in surprise, there were actually eight Heavenly Rank experts.

How is that possible? There are only a handful of such people in the entire Great Sheng Heavenly Rank.

That's why they dared to arrogantly lead several fake Heavenly Rank cultivators to raid Xining Pass from Yixiantian.

His relaxed expression instantly turned cold, his icy gaze fixed on Xiao Zhixing. "Who are you?"

Wow, the news that she has eight giant guards hasn't reached the Northern Frontier yet? That's incredibly slow!

Fortunately, someone on the other side knew. Another deputy's expression changed drastically as he exclaimed, "General, it's...it's Xiao Zhixing!!"

Xiao Zhixing waved his hand, and Eagle One and Eagle Two pounced on them.

The leader's face was grim; another Heavenly Realm expert!

When he realized that the person in front of him was Xiao Zhixing, he understood that his mission was unlikely to be completed, and it was questionable whether he could return unscathed.

Xiao Zhixing, leaning on his longsword, watched Ying Yi and the leader fight and laughed, "It is indeed me. Don't you think I'm too lucky? I just casually made a trip to Ningzhou to see off a friend, and I actually stumbled upon your conspiracy."

She said, infuriatingly, "Wouldn't your Northern Frontier Emperor Yelü Ge be so angry that he dies young if he found out about this?"

The leader was terrified when he and Ying Yi fought to a draw, because he knew that Xiao Zhixing was the real top-tier expert at the Heavenly Rank.

Ying Yi's offensive was too fierce, and he couldn't concentrate on answering Xiao Zhixing's sarcasm. He could only listen to her leisurely chattering away, which made him restless and irritable.

"Last year, I killed Xiao Kui so badly that he was terrified. Today, you are bringing me more merits. Oh, it's like God is giving us food."

"How come there are only five thousand people?" She deliberately curled her lips in disdain. "When have I ever killed more than ten thousand? Five thousand is not even enough to fill my teeth."

Enraged, the leader seized the opportunity to shout, "We have five thousand men, why should we be afraid of your one thousand?"

Xiao Zhixing's expression remained unchanged. "Is that so? Alas, what a coincidence, it seems I have more than just this many people!"

As soon as he finished speaking, with a whoosh, startled birds took flight, and like ghosts, nearly ten thousand members of the Xiao family army appeared from all directions.

"This humble general, Wei Zhao, greets Your Highness. All ten thousand members of the Xiao family army have arrived and have successfully completed their mission."

Xiao Zhixing waved with a smile, "Get up. You've arrived just in time. How is Changyukou?"

Wei Zhao is Xiao Bei's adopted son and is now a young general in the Xiao family army.

Wei Zhao laughed and said, "We were also very lucky. We accidentally encountered four thousand enemy troops from the northern frontier at Changyukou, and they have all been annihilated. Ten thousand brothers are defending the northern border of Mengzhou. General Liu has no objection."

When the Northern Frontier attacked the garrison at Changyukou, due to the negligence of the Mengzhou border troops, the enemy successfully captured the pass and four thousand men crossed over.

However, they were also "lucky" enough to run into Xiao's army of 10,000 who were chasing the bandits, and were naturally wiped out.

Taking advantage of the situation, Xiao Jiajun seized control of the border of Mengzhou. Liu Yufeng's troops made a mistake in guarding the pass, and he was implicated and embarrassed, so naturally he dared not complain.

This actually happened a few days ago, and Xiao Zhixing knew it too. She said that on purpose to provoke the leader.
