Outside Hangu Pass.
Lin Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, with Tie Dachui standing behind him. The two of them quietly watched Hangu Pass.
Rumble...
About ten minutes later, the nebula storm suddenly stirred and burst forth with dazzling light.
The next second, the storm vanished into thin air, revealing an ancient and weathered city.
"So this nebula storm was actually a large formation..."
Iron Hammer was taken aback and said in surprise, "What an exquisite formation! I thought it was naturally formed before."
The power of this grand formation must be extraordinary!
"It's nothing special."
Lin Xuan smiled dismissively. He could tell that the nebula storm was an array, and it must have been passed down from ancient times.
However, it is not complete.
It was just a remnant of an army.
If it were a complete formation, Lin Xuan might take a closer look, but to be honest, he didn't really care about a broken formation.
With his current mastery of array formations, even if he were in the ancient era, he would definitely be a grandmaster of array formations.
It's just a remnant formation; if he really wanted it, he could destroy it at will.
Entering and exiting is as easy as taking something out of a bag.
The reason they didn't go straight in was simply to give some face to the current garrison commander guarding Hangu Pass.
"They're out!"
A glint flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes as he looked directly at the gate of Hangu Pass.
At that moment, the city gates were opened wide.
A group of people emerged from the city, stepping into the air; it was Yun Heihu and his entourage.
Lin Xuan's gaze swept quickly over everyone, finally landing on Yun Heihu, his pupils narrowing slightly.
This person is very strong.
He was at least stronger than the five powerful figures from the five kingdoms he had killed.
"His strength should be among the strongest of the town's generals, second only to those ancient generals."
Lin Xuan thought to himself.
As expected, those who can guard Hangu Pass are no ordinary people.
"Hahaha...General Lin, we've finally been waiting for you! I am Yun Heihu, the Grand Commander of the Black Tiger Army. General Lin... please come in..."
After Yun Heihu led a group of people out, he immediately burst into laughter and walked towards Lin Xuan and his companion through the air.
He was quite polite in his words, but his eyes were openly scrutinizing Lin Xuan, though Lin Xuan was destined to see nothing.
Lin Xuan's strength was concealed, and his aura was as deep as an abyss.
Trying to see through his strength and level of mastery is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
At least Yun Heihu couldn't do that.
Yun Heihu was also shocked and paid more attention to Lin Xuan. Even he couldn't see through Lin Xuan's strength, which showed that the rumors were true and Lin Xuan's strength was indeed unfathomable.
"The Purple Mansion Realm... My god, even the worst is the Purple Mansion Realm..."
Right at that moment!
Suddenly someone shouted in utter shock, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
It was the lean man behind Yun Heihu, who was looking at the 100,000 Shanhe Army soldiers in front of the Shanhe Ship with an incredulous expression.
His pupils had shrunk to a point; he was utterly shocked.
His exclamation drew everyone's attention, and they all looked towards the soldiers of the Shanhe Army.
The next second!
Everyone, including Yun Heihu, was stunned.
He subconsciously swallowed hard.
"My God, 100,000 soldiers, the worst of whom are at the Purple Mansion Realm, and even the Void Refining Realm and Life and Death Realm make up a third of them."
"This...this is impossible! When did our Great Xia Dynasty produce such a terrifying legion?"
"The Mountain and River Army, they're going to ascend to the heavens!"
"Holy crap, the higher-ups sent this Mountain and River Army here, are they planning to wipe out the demons beyond the pass?!"
"Hehe... You're probably overthinking it. The demons and monsters outside the pass are terrifying. Let alone 100,000 Purple Mansion Realm cultivators, even 100,000 Void Refining Realm cultivators wouldn't be able to do it."
However, with this large army stationed at Hangu Pass, coupled with the formidable formation of Hangu Pass, the situation was much better.
For the foreseeable future, things will be absolutely stable.
"It's ridiculous that I was questioning other people's abilities before. Now it seems that I was just a clown."
...
Behind Yun Heihu, the high-ranking officers of the Black Tiger Army were completely stunned, and they all exclaimed in surprise.
They were all silently swallowing hard.
They were truly terrified. The Mountain and River Army was too strong, with 100,000 soldiers, all of whom were at least at the Purple Mansion Realm.
Such strength is unmatched by any other legion in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
Yun Heihu also opened his mouth in disbelief.
Then, with a wry smile, he looked at Lin Xuan and said, "General Lin, you've really opened my eyes to a whole new world, with surprises galore!"
"Hehe, General Yun, you are too kind. You have truly made great contributions by guarding Hangu Pass all these years."
Lin Xuan chuckled and said, "However, we've come this far now."
You Black Tiger Army can finally get some rest.
"General Yun, enough with the small talk, let's get to the handover!"
"good!"
Yun Heihu nodded, abandoning his last bit of underestimation. His opinion of Lin Xuan rose even higher, and he secretly reminded himself that even if he couldn't be friends with Lin Xuan in the future, he should never provoke this guy.
At such a young age, not only is his own strength unfathomable, but the army he leads is also terrifying.
This is a monster.
Who knows how far he'll go in the future?
It's best not to offend such a monster, lest you die without even knowing how.
"General Lin, since that's the case, let's go into the city!"
Yun Heihu cupped his hands in greeting to Lin Xuan.
"Um!"
Lin Xuan nodded, and without any hesitation, said to Tie Dachui, "Send the order: the army will follow me into the city..."
"Yes, sir!"
Iron Hammer immediately responded loudly.
The next moment!
Lin Xuan, Yun Heihu, and others were the first to enter the city, followed closely by an army of 100,000.
Inside Hangu Pass, there were naturally quite a few people watching this scene. When they learned the true strength of the 100,000-strong Mountain and River Army, they were all equally astonished.
One hundred thousand soldiers, at least at the Purple Mansion Realm.
This is absolutely outrageous!
It should be noted that in other special legions, even in a powerful army like the Black Tiger Army, a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator would be at least a centurion.
Moreover, the 100,000 soldiers of the Mountain and River Army are all at least at the second level of the Purple Mansion Realm, the Palace Creation Realm.
In some weaker legions, this would be the configuration of a centurion or even a captain, but in the Shanhe Army, he was just an ordinary soldier.
"Now, Hangu Pass is safe. With such an elite army, as long as we don't do anything reckless, those demons outside the pass who want to break through the city are simply delusional."
"That's right. With 100,000 Mountain and River Army soldiers, plus my several million regular troops at Hangu Pass, and the defensive formation of Hangu Pass, it's basically impossible for demons and evil spirits to successfully breach the pass."
"Most importantly, these 100,000 Mountain and River Army soldiers are not just for show. Not only are they powerful, but their murderous aura is also astonishing. They are definitely elites who have fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of fire!"
...
At this moment, the entire Hangu Pass was abuzz with excitement.
The name of the Shanhe Army spread throughout the entire Hangu Pass in an instant.
