Three days later!
Inside Shanhaiguan, some people finally couldn't sit still and started to panic.
In the past three days, they have received many reports saying that the demons have retreated in a great hurry, as if something major had happened in their rear.
Once this news reached them, and combined with Lin Xuan's report, many people had to admit that Lin Xuan might have indeed broken into the heart of the demonic territory and captured the floating city.
"Damn it... that little bastard Lin Xuan may very well have actually broken into the heart of the demonic territory, severely injured the demons, and captured that floating city."
"It is true that there is a floating city in the heart of the demonic realm. Although it is a secret, I once guarded Hangu Pass and obtained some scattered information. At the time, I thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems to be true. The demonic forces are using that floating city to continuously bring in troops to invade our world."
"If that's the case, then we're in big trouble. Lin Xuan has made such a great contribution, he's bound to rise to power and become unstoppable. That's not a good thing for us."
"Sigh... Now all I can do is take it one step at a time. I regret what I did back then!"
...
Many people are regretting it and sighing.
Because they realized that they had made a bad move.
Offending Lin Xuan was their biggest mistake. Many of them already regretted it and were thinking about whether to repair their relationship with Lin Xuan.
Meanwhile, the day after Lin Xuan's report was sent back to Shanhaiguan, a million-strong army, led by an ancient general, left Shanhaiguan and headed straight for Hangu Pass.
Meanwhile, inside the floating city.
The central place was transformed into a mountain-sized vessel called the Mountain and River Ship.
"My lord, this is a message from Shanhaiguan..." Chu Lingkong strode into Lin Xuan's office and handed him a jade slip.
"Um……"
Lin Xuan nodded slightly, and with a thought, the jade slip flew out of Chu Lingkong's hand and hovered in front of him.
With a thought, the contents of the jade slip were read at lightning speed.
Instantly, Lin Xuan's pupils narrowed, and a cold killing intent appeared on his face. His voice was like ice: "These old bastards who hold positions without doing their jobs actually don't believe that we have taken over the floating city."
Do you really think I don't know what they're thinking?
They're afraid. They're afraid that we'll really take the floating city, achieve tremendous success, and become unstoppable.
That's why they pretended to be confused and even tried to use evil spirits to destroy us.
Very good!
When I return to Shanhaiguan, I will definitely settle accounts with them properly..."
"My lord, does that mean Shanhaiguan didn't send reinforcements?" Chu Lingkong's pupils shrank, and he asked hurriedly.
"No, that's not it. We have reinforcements. There are many factions at the top, and only one of them is targeting us."
Lin Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "Someone has brought troops over. They are Tianyuan Ancient Generals, and they should be from Duan Nantian's faction."
He brought with him a million-strong army.
In addition, there were 30 million regular troops who set off after them, but the regular troops were slower, and by the time they arrived, it would be too late.
Even whether Tianyuan Gujiang can catch up is a question. This battle depends on ourselves…
"Sir, you must have thought of these things from the beginning!"
Chu Lingkong glanced at Lin Xuan and said cautiously, "You deliberately sent a message back just to test him..."
"That's right, I just wanted to test their reaction."
Lin Xuan chuckled: "The journey from Shanhaiguan to this floating city is so long. If we wait for them to come and support us, then we won't need to fight this battle."
I just want to see how those old guys react.
Sure enough, they didn't disappoint! As disgusting as ever.
Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't place his hopes on the people at Shanhaiguan. The reason he still had Su Changfeng submit a report was twofold: firstly, to go through the formality, and secondly, to test the reaction of the people at Shanhaiguan.
As it turns out, there is no hope in a group of old fogies who hold positions without doing any work.
However, this is for the best.
The fact that these people did this gave him an opportunity to cause trouble later.
When he returns to Shanhaiguan next time, he will definitely take action against these people. Otherwise, he won't be Lin Xuan anymore. Moreover, Lin Xuan believes that day is not far away.
"My lord, rumors are circulating that Japan has completely fallen. What should we do next? Should we continue to hold Hangu Pass and not come out?"
At this moment, Chu Lingkong suddenly asked a question.
Lin Xuan was taken aback, and squinted at Chu Lingkong. He wasn't stupid, so he naturally understood the meaning behind Chu Lingkong's words.
Holding Hangu Pass and refusing to come out is tantamount to holding military power for oneself.
Chu Lingkong asked this question to see what Lin Xuan was really thinking.
Clearly, this wasn't just Chu Lingkong's thought, but the thought of everyone in the Shanhe Army; they wanted to know Lin Xuan's attitude.
"I want Hangu Pass, but... I won't stay there forever."
Lin Xuan chuckled: "Japan has fallen. The rest of the world will be busy. Invasion by demons and monsters is inevitable."
We could indeed sit back at Hangu Pass and watch the tigers fight from the sidelines.
But have you ever thought about it? So many soldiers of the Shanhe Army have families and friends all in China.
"The same goes for you. If we don't go back, we'll definitely regret it in the future..."
Chu Lingkong fell silent.
Lin Xuan is right. If they don't go back, they will definitely regret it.
After all, they cannot be so detached from worldly affairs that they abandon their relatives and friends. If evil spirits invade, the whole world will be in chaos.
