In the vast starry sky.
At the edge of the sky, amidst a desolate nebula storm, one could vaguely make out an ancient, vast, and desolate city.
That city was none other than Hangu Pass.
Whoosh whoosh...
A streak of light streaked across the sky and arrived outside the broken nebula storm where Hangu Pass was located in an instant.
It was the Shanhe.
"My lord, Hangu Pass is just ahead."
On the deck, Tie Dachui, standing next to Lin Xuan, said excitedly, "I've heard that Hangu Pass is located in a nebula storm, which is actually a distorted spacetime."
It was like a realm derived from an array.
"Damn it, we're finally here."
Ling Zhan grinned, stretched lazily, and said, "If we don't come soon, my bones will rust."
"Rusty, huh! Don't worry, you'll be busy soon."
Lu Changsheng chuckled and ordered the Shanhe Ship to slow down.
Finally, he stopped outside the nebula storm. Instead of rushing in, he activated his spiritual eyes and looked into the interior of the nebula storm.
A massive ancient city floats in mid-air. Although it is not as large as Shanhaiguan, its area is certainly not small.
The entire city exudes a sense of antiquity and vicissitude.
The mottled marks on the city wall testify to its long history.
Lin Xuan's gaze, however, pierced through the array defense shield that enveloped the entire Hangu Pass, and saw the situation inside the city.
Soldiers were patrolling the city walls, with a post every three steps and a sentry every five steps.
There are still millions of soldiers in the city.
And even more ordinary people, as well as various administrative agencies.
Overall, it is quite similar to Hangu Pass.
The millions of troops, divided into different regions, must have come from different legions.
Hangu Pass was the true front line of the Great Xia Dynasty's defense against evil spirits, so it was impossible for it to be guarded by only one large army.
In fact, as far as Lin Xuan knew, there were currently ten large armies inside Hangu Pass, with a total number of more than three million people.
However, there is only one true core legion.
This is the Black Tiger Army that Lin Xuan is going to relieve this time.
The leader of the Black Tiger Army is General Yun Heihu, a powerful expert at the fifth level of the Celestial Realm. Among the generals, his strength is definitely among the top.
That is, below those ancient generals.
Like the Mountain and River Army, the Black Tiger Army only had 100,000 men.
As for the other millions of troops inside Hangu Pass, they are actually regular legions stationed there year-round.
There was no mention of a rotation of defenders.
In fact, many people were born inside Hangu Pass.
From birth to death, he guarded Hangu Pass.
As for why this was the case, Lin Xuan did not find the answer. Perhaps he would only be able to figure it out after entering Hangu Pass.
"Hangu Pass!"
A sharp glint appeared in Lin Xuan's eyes.
After a while, he stepped off the deck of the Shanhe Ship and walked through the air, step by step towards Hangu Pass.
Behind him, only Iron Hammer followed.
As for Su Changfeng, Ling Zhan, and others, they began to order the reorganization of the army, and all 100,000 soldiers of the Shanhe Army came out of the warships.
They formed a square formation, standing in the void.
"Commander-in-Chief Lin Xuan of the Shanhe Army has come to relieve the troops. General Yun, please open the city gates immediately..."
Lin Xuan focused his energy in his dantian, his voice carrying a profound weight, piercing through the nebula storm and ignoring the defenses of the Hangu Pass formation, exploding within the pass.
In an instant!
The entire Hangu Pass was shaken.
Countless people subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Their expressions varied, and they were all discussing the matter.
"It's time for the rotation of troops again. The Black Tiger Army is about to leave Hangu Pass. I wonder how strong the Mountain and River Army that is coming is?"
"Alas... These are turbulent times. The demons and evil spirits have been seriously interfering with the passes lately. Changing the guards at this time is really not a wise decision."
"Hmph, what does it have to do with us? Anyway, we can't leave Hangu Pass."
"I really don't know how much longer Hangu Pass can hold out."
...
Inside Hangu Pass, various discussions arose.
And at this moment!
In the heart of Hangu Pass, inside a luxurious mansion, sat a man eight feet tall, clad in a suit of jet-black tiger armor, sitting imposingly in a chair.
This person was none other than Yun Heihu.
The commander-in-chief of the Black Tiger Army is also the supreme commander currently guarding Hangu Pass.
As soon as Lin Xuan's voice came, Yun Heihu's eyes lit up with a dazzling light, his gaze sharp as a knife.
A surge of bloodthirsty energy rose like a raging river.
He muttered to himself, "Lin Xuan, he's finally here..."
As he spoke, Yun Heihu stood up from his seat, took a step, and instantly transformed into a streak of light, leaving the mansion.
at the same time!
From all around Hangu Pass, figures also took to the air, following Yun Heihu as they walked out of Hangu Pass.
"Sir, the troop rotation personnel have finally arrived. We can finally leave this awful place."
A lean man followed behind Yun Heihu, a broad smile on his face, and said, "I wonder how strong this Mountain and River Army is."
"The number of times the evil spirits have been attacking the pass has increased significantly recently. We don't know what they're up to. Changing the garrison at this time is really disadvantageous for Hangu Pass."
Another burly man said in a deep voice.
A hint of worry appeared on his dark face.
“Niu Zhenshan, you don’t need to worry about these things. The new town magistrate has his own plans.”
