After Mu Qingfeng volunteered to take on the task of guarding the Ten Thousand Mountains, Xuanbing Gujiang's expression immediately improved.
Then, he turned his gaze to the others again and said in a cold voice, "And the Dark Demon Abyss and Hangu Pass."
Who should go to these two places?
No one answered.
Compared to the Ten Thousand Mountains, the Dark Demon Abyss and Hangu Pass are even more dangerous.
No one was confident of success, and naturally no one wanted to take the initiative to guard it, since it was a risky move.
"Is nobody here? Then I'll call on someone."
Xuan Bing's expression turned cold, and a hint of dissatisfaction was in his voice.
Of all these people, only Mu Qingfeng stepped forward. Did everyone else just cower in fear?
This made her very unhappy.
"General Gu, I'll go to Dark Demon Abyss!"
At that moment, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out, attracting everyone's attention.
It turned out to be a beautiful woman in white, with a calm expression and eyes like swords.
"It's Yu Linglong. I never expected her to step forward on her own initiative."
"This is going to be interesting. I've heard that the War God Palace has three major factions that are the most powerful, and Mu Qingfeng and Yu Linglong each represent one of them."
Each of them took control of the Ten Thousand Mountains and the Dark Demon Abyss, and now the remaining Hangu Pass…
"I have a feeling that this is very unusual, that there is some kind of calculation involved."
"Shh...don't talk, just wait and watch the show."
...
Some people whispered among themselves and looked at Yu Linglong.
Lin Xuan sat motionless in his chair, but his mind covered the entire hall, knowing everything everyone was saying.
A sudden glint of light flashed in his eyes, and a strong premonition arose in his heart.
He looked at Mu Qingfeng and Yu Linglong.
These two men have taken on missions from the Ten Thousand Mountains and the Dark Demon Abyss. If he is not mistaken, the forces behind Mu Qingfeng will inevitably push the most dangerous Hangu Pass onto them.
"snort……"
Lin Xuan snorted coldly, a chilling killing intent immediately rising in his heart.
However, he didn't reveal anything. He wanted to see how Mu Qingfeng would push the task of guarding Hangu Pass onto his own shoulders.
Could it be this Ancient General of the Mysterious Ice?
Thinking about it, Lin Xuan's gaze shifted and landed on Xuanbing Ancient General.
"Yu Linglong, the Dark Demon Abyss is fraught with danger. With your strength, going there would be extremely risky. Are you sure you're sure?"
Xuanbing Gujiang glanced at Yu Linglong and asked in a deep voice.
Yu Linglong's strength is actually only average among the many town generals, even slightly inferior to Mu Qingfeng.
However, the danger of the Dark Demon Abyss is greater than that of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Therefore, Yu Linglong's choice to guard the Dark Demon Abyss was fraught with difficulty and danger.
Of course, any town general going to the Dark Demon Abyss would face danger. The reason why Xuanbing Ancient General asked this question was because she had a past with Yu Linglong.
“General Gu, I have made up my mind. The Dark Demon Abyss holds what I desire, and I must go there eventually. Since that’s the case, why not take advantage of this garrison mission to go there, where I can also have the assistance of a large army?”
Yu Linglong nodded, her face resolute.
"In that case, go to the Dark Demon Abyss."
Xuanbing Gu nodded, seeing that Yu Linglong had made up her mind, and said no more.
Instead, he looked at everyone and continued, "The last one, Hangu Pass, who's going to go..."
As he spoke, Xuanbing Gu Jiang's gaze intentionally or unintentionally drifted toward the area where Lin Xuan and Duan Nantian were located.
Although there were quite a few people in the hall, it was generally divided into three main parts.
They represent three factions respectively.
Xuanbing Gujiang looked towards the people of Lin Xuan's faction, and the meaning was already very clear.
The other two factions have mobilized, are you just going to play dead?
"Who will go to Hangu Pass?"
Seeing that no one stepped forward, Xuanbing Gujiang said with a stern face.
Unfortunately, no one moved.
Hangu Pass is the most dangerous of the three places. Even if Xuanbing Gujiang were to go there, it would be extremely dangerous. Who would be willing to step forward voluntarily?
"General Gu, I recommend someone."
Just then, Mu Qingfeng suddenly spoke up: "The newly appointed town general, Lin Xuan, is exceptionally strong and unparalleled in combat power."
Moreover, he possesses the Ancient Sacred Body, making him the most suitable person to guard Hangu Pass…
The moment Mu Qingfeng uttered those words, the scene erupted in uproar.
Everyone turned to look at Mu Qingfeng and Lin Xuan, their eyes gleaming, and whispered among themselves.
"I'd heard long ago that Mu Qingfeng was going to deal with Lin Xuan, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless. He actually sent Lin Xuan to Hangu Pass. Isn't that just sending him to his death?"
“That’s right. Lin Xuan is just a newly appointed garrison commander. How can he possibly defend Hangu Pass?”
"Mu Qingfeng is using someone else to do his dirty work; he's really ruthless."
"Hmph, Mu Qingfeng's plan is going to fail. Lin Xuan may not agree."
"That depends on what General Xuanbing thinks. If General Xuanbing gives the order, Lin Xuan will have to go even if he doesn't want to."
...
Many people whispered among themselves, their gazes toward Lin Xuan varying.
There was jest, sneer, and mockery.
On the contrary, Lin Xuan himself remained calm, showing no sign of joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.
In fact, he sneered inwardly, because he had long guessed that Mu Qingfeng would pull this stunt, and if he was not mistaken, Xuanbing Gu would definitely agree.
From the very beginning, this was a setup.
"Mu Qingfeng, what do you mean by this? Lin Xuan is just a newly promoted garrison commander. You actually sent him to guard Hangu Pass. Are you sending him to his death?"
