After a brief pause, Ye Feng shouted, "Gongbu Qiuye is a member of the Tree Spirit Clan and has cultivated to the peak of the Divine Travel Realm, making him quite powerful. However, he has a big secret. This secret is related to his title!"
"A title?" Zijing looked at Yefeng with curiosity.
“That’s right. Since appearing in the human kingdom, Gongbu Qiuye has never fought anyone with all his might. The Tree Spirits are very special. They have magic patterns on their bodies and their hair is emerald green. If they fight with all their might, the magic patterns on their bodies will become very obvious, but the most important thing is their hair color.”
"When the Tree Spirits are fighting with all their might, their hair will change from a bright green to a withered yellow, just like spring grass suddenly turning into autumn grass."
"However, Gonpo Qiuye is different. His hair color has never changed like this, so people gave him a nickname - Green-haired Qiuye, meaning that he never uses his full strength and no one can force him to use his full strength."
As Ye Feng finished speaking, his smile grew even brighter.
Gongbu Qiuye's face had already turned red.
Zijing became even more curious and asked, "So why does he never use his full strength? Is he really that powerful that he has never encountered an opponent who can force him to use his full strength? That shouldn't be the case. There are quite a few strong people in our human race, and although the peak of the Divine Travel Realm is also very powerful, it is not considered top-tier."
Ye Feng laughed and said, "Don't rush, I was just about to tell you the secret of why Gongbu Qiuye never uses his full strength. The reason he doesn't use his full strength is actually because..."
Before Ye Feng could finish speaking, Gongbu Qiuye quickly sheathed his slender, long tree spirit sword and stopped him, saying, "Alright, that's enough. I believe you are Luo Tong!"
More than an hour later, Ye Feng led all his members back to the battlefield where they had fought the Crimson Tail Beast.
Rowling has already led her people to examine all the corpses of the Crimson-tailed Beasts, collected all the inner cores of the beasts, and put the more intact corpses of the Crimson-tailed Beasts into her storage ring.
Therefore, only many severed limbs and broken arms remained at the scene.
Seeing that Nightwind had not only brought everyone back safely, but had also captured thirty members of the mysterious squad, Rowling was overjoyed.
But what puzzled Rowling was that one of the members of the mysterious team did not appear to be human, but rather a tree spirit, and that person was not wearing restraint rings, nor were their hands bound.
Night Wind even dismounted and led his horse alongside the Tree Spirit Clan member.
Rowling stepped forward with a puzzled look and asked, "Ancestor, who is this...?"
“Lorraine, let me introduce you. This is my old friend, Gongbu Qiuye of the Tree Spirit Clan. You can just call him Qiuye,” Night Wind said.
"Call me Gongbu!" Gongbu Qiuye said with a stern face.
"Just call me Qiuye," Yefeng said again.
"Call me Gongbu!" Gongbu Qiuye said, emphasizing his words.
“Okay, Qiuye,” Yefeng said with a strange laugh.
In the culture of the Tree Spirits, Gongbu means a brave warrior.
Autumn Leaf, on the other hand, is clearly a name with feminine connotations.
Therefore, Gongbu Qiuye really dislikes being called Qiuye; he prefers to be called Gongbu.
But Night Wind clearly didn't want to do as he wished.
"She is my descendant, named Luo Lin. I also have a descendant named Luo Qing..."
Ye Feng had just finished speaking when Gongbu Qiuye interrupted him: "No need for introductions, I know who she is. Although I left the Hongtian Empire for the Divine Sword Empire a hundred years ago, I have always kept track of the Luo family's situation. I know all the main members of your family very well."
"That's great, that makes things much more convenient," Ye Feng said with a smile.
Rowling forced a smile, extended her slender hand, and said, "Hello, Senior Qiuye."
Since Gombo Akiha and Yoruichi were from the same era, he was naturally a senior, which is why Rowling addressed him that way.
However, Gombu Akiha clearly didn't like being called "senior." As he shook hands with Rowling, he said, "Don't call me 'senior,' just call me 'sir.' Also, don't call me Gombu, just call me Akiha!"
"Alright, you said it yourself, Rowling, did you hear me clearly?" Night Wind laughed.
“I heard you clearly, Ancestor,” Rowling said, suppressing a laugh.
Gongbu Qiuye then realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and immediately became furious, his handsome face contorting in anger.
“Prepare a horse for him,” Night Wind said.
“No need, no horse can run as fast as me,” Gongbu Qiuye waved his hand.
“Just follow my orders. Don’t forget you used to be my subordinate. Do you want to disobey me? Do you want to be taught a lesson like you were seven hundred years ago?” Ye Feng said maliciously, glancing at Gongbu Qiuye’s green hair.
Gongbu Qiuye immediately looked nervous, and even subconsciously raised her hand to protect her hair.
Suppressing a laugh, Rowling led a horse over to Gonpo Akiha, and Gonpo Akiha and Yefeng mounted their horses and returned to Silla City.
The main force had just returned to Silla City when the two commoners, at the behest of the night wind, ran about cheering.
"Everyone, come quick! The Crimson-Tailed Beasts have been completely annihilated by our Silla Castle infantry legion!"
"These red-tailed beasts were not powerful at all; they were wiped out almost without any resistance!"
"You didn't see how amazing the battle was back then. The new infantry legion's explosive bullets were as dense as a torrential downpour, and those Crimson-Tailed Beasts didn't even have a chance to run over and launch an attack!"
These two civilians, who had previously been terrified and howling in fear, are now beaming with joy and radiant with health, creating a stark contrast between their previous appearance and their current state.
Moreover, the corpses of those red-tailed beasts are the best means of persuasion!
The commoners and serfs of Silla City who had gathered there cheered and spread the news with great joy!
The previous heavy and panicked atmosphere was swept away and replaced by a festive joy!
Seeing the radiant faces and spirited demeanor of these commoners, Gongbu Qiuye's face showed deep surprise.
“These commoners and serfs all look quite robust, and their mental state is also very good,” Gombo Qiuye said.
Gongbu Qiuye wasn't flattering him; he was telling the truth.
Over the past few hundred years, Gongbu Qiuye has been traveling through various cities of the human race, visiting many places.
But in his eyes, the commoners and serfs in every city were basically the same.
They were emaciated and their eyes were dull and lifeless. They didn't look like living people at all, but rather like walking corpses, like shells whose souls had been taken away.
