As they walked out of the woods, Furball looked back, still feeling it was all rather unreal.
They thought the other side would have prepared a trap, and that a fierce battle would be inevitable once they went deeper.
No one expected it to end like this.
"Are those guys really after the headless tribe?" Maoqiu asked, frowning, expressing his doubt.
Shangguan Hongyu said, "It's also possible that they're lying to lower our guard."
Maoqiu nodded in agreement.
Maoqiu has no better advice on what to do next; it's up to Bianlang to decide.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "But when we really fight the ghost soldiers, we'll need Qiuqiu's great help."
"Of course I'd be happy to oblige!" Maoqiu laughed.
No matter what, he always said the same thing: he'd do anything Bian Lang asked for.
On the way back to Zhengyi Fortress, Shangguan Hongyu asked Bian Lang if he should tell Kongxin about this.
Bian Lang said, "No need. If the Yin soldiers really want to advance into the Dark Domain, we will stop them."
"Honey, you just love to put on a brave face even when you're not." Shangguan Hongyu covered her mouth and chuckled.
Even though he himself was in dire straits and could barely save himself, he still wanted to protect the headless tribe from calamity.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "The target of the ghost soldiers is not necessarily the headless tribe."
Shangguan Hongyu felt that no matter who their target was, since that guy had said he came for the headless tribe, they could use this as an excuse to win over the headless tribe to fight alongside them.
This idea is good, but Bian Lang doesn't want to use this method.
After all, once on the battlefield, there will be a large number of casualties.
The future of the headless tribe is entirely in their own hands.
Back at Justice Fortress, everything was as usual.
The fact that the celestial realm has not yet made a move will only keep everyone in a state of extreme tension.
Being in this state all the time is undoubtedly fatal.
Bian Lang gathered everyone together and told them to relax and not to feel pressured.
But very few people can actually do this. Most people are still very nervous, which makes it hard for them to sleep and makes them unable to focus on their spiritual practice.
If they remain in this state for a long time, they will perish on their own, no matter what the Heavenly Realm does.
"If only we had informants in the Heavenly Realm," Shangguan Hongyu would often say, looking up at the sky.
If you have informants, you can at least know what's going on in the celestial realm.
The Heavenly Realm said they would send a large army to eliminate Bian Lang, but actually taking action would take a long time.
While those immortals hesitated, many years might have passed in the mortal realm; this is entirely possible.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "Who said we don't have spies in the Heavenly Realm?"
"You mean Yun Rou?" Shangguan Hongyu certainly knew who Bian Lang was talking about.
However, Yun Rou seems to have a very low status in the Heavenly Realm, and her access to information is very limited. Even if she learns some important information, she probably won't be able to pass it on to them in time.
Even the most valuable intelligence will lose its value if it cannot be delivered in time.
Bian Lang said, "We have to trust Yun Rou. She must have a way to send us messages. What we need to do now is relax and focus on our cultivation."
"You should go and tell them that," Shangguan Hongyu sighed.
The ones who are truly anxious are the multi-headed race, and they are also the ones who really need to focus on their cultivation. However, the multi-headed race is not listening to Bian Lang's words right now, and it seems that the only way to calm their minds is to have a great battle with the Heavenly Realm.
Time passed day by day, and not only in the celestial realm, but also among the ghostly soldiers on the other side of the Milky Way, there was no movement.
It is said that before a storm comes a terrifying calm, but this calm has lasted far too long.
At noon that day, a golden light suddenly appeared in the Misty Forest.
The patrolling multi-headed tribe discovered it and tried their best, but they were unable to eliminate the golden light.
The golden light seemed to have eyes, and finally shot straight into Bian Lang's room.
Just as Bian Lang was about to take a short nap, he grabbed the golden light in his hand. When he unfolded it again, the golden light transformed into a line of words that floated directly in front of Bian Lang's eyes.
The next instant, the golden characters vanished without a trace.
Shangguan Hongyu was relaxing by the lake when she saw the golden light enter the Righteous Fortress, so she rushed over.
"Honey, are you alright?" Shangguan Hongyu asked with concern.
If the heavens send treacherous attacks, it's truly impossible to guard against them.
Bian Lang shook his head and smiled, "It's alright, we've received the information we wanted."
"That golden light came from the celestial realm?" Shangguan Hongyu was greatly shocked.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "Yun Rou said that the Heavenly Army will arrive in a month."
"It still takes another month?" Shangguan Hongyu was truly impressed by the efficiency of the Heavenly Realm.
The time Yunrou gave was calculated in human time.
In this month, they can make good preparations and give the celestial army a huge surprise.
Everyone was furious upon hearing this news.
They had been on edge all this time, but the Heavenly Realm was surprisingly in no hurry at all.
This is very likely the Heavenly Realm's purpose: to first release the news and put them in a state of tension and anxiety, and then arrive late, which will undoubtedly greatly exhaust everyone's mental strength.
Judging from everyone's current state, it's clear that the Heavenly Realm's strategy has been very successful.
Fortunately, Yun Rou delivered the message in time, and from this moment on, everyone can rest properly.
A month is enough time to eliminate the fatigue accumulated over the past few days.
Moreover, in Bian Lang's opinion, even if they didn't know when the Heavenly Realm would arrive, they still needed to relax and get some rest.
