In just a blink of an eye, the remaining 2,000 or so strange beasts all rushed into the canyon and disappeared among the vaguely undulating mountains.
Mu Hanyan looked towards the distance, where the beast's roar came from.
Although she didn't see the other party this time, Mu Hanyan was sure that it was the underworld beast that confronted her last night.
This underworld beast was indeed powerful. It once again dissolved the divine power of the beast god inherited from the Aolai beast, and also destroyed her plan to tame sword pets for everyone.
But fortunately, it must have suffered a lot of damage last night and was unable to suppress the power of the Beast God. It only rescued those strange beasts.
Behind him, Luo Pengcheng and the soldiers accompanying him drew their swords and cheered loudly.
Ahead, at Beining Pass, the soldiers who fought bravely in the bloody battle shouted in unison, tears of excitement flowing from their eyes.
Qu Fengting also shed tears as he looked at Mu Hanyan's heroic figure. He was right about Mu Hanyan. As long as she was there, any miracle could happen.
The fifth prince also stared at Mu Hanyan for a long time. It took him a while to come to his senses. He dragged his legs, which felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and personally opened the city gate for Mu Hanyan.
On the other side, at Qingyang Pass, although the strange beasts had not yet fled, their morale was greatly reduced by fear. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers guarding Qingyang Pass filed out one after another, broke into the encirclement, and joined forces with Tan Taixuan and others.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the strange beasts had no intention of fighting any longer and quickly withdrew from the battlefield and fled into the Longyan Mountains.
The two teams were welcomed into Beining Pass and Qingyang Pass almost at the same time, but the atmosphere was completely different.
In this battle, except for Hua Yue and Tang Bufan who suffered minor injuries when they initially fought against the Angry Dragon Beast that was comparable to a tenth-level greatswordsman, the rest of Mu Hanyan's team were unharmed. They killed thousands of strange beasts and entered Beining Pass as victors.
Tan Taixuan's team had lost over two hundred members of the noble families, and the number of injured was multiplied. Many of them were killed by alien beasts that were weaker than them. If Mu Hanyan and the others hadn't won a resounding victory, which had severely demoralized the alien beasts and made them lose their will to fight, it would have been questionable whether they could have broken through the encirclement.
Even at the end, they only managed to hold on thanks to the support of the soldiers at Qingyang Pass, and dozens of soldiers guarding the pass died in the battlefield to save them.
It turned out that they came to rescue Qingyang Pass, but in the end they relied on Qingyang Pass to save their lives. In addition, in order to save them, dozens of soldiers lost their lives in vain.
It's so embarrassing. It's really embarrassing.
Until they entered the checkpoint, Tan Taixuan and the so-called elites of the five major families were too embarrassed to raise their heads, let alone look at Mu Hanyan and others.
The soldiers guarding the pass were naturally unhappy to see their colleagues die in such a senseless and tragic death. They welcomed Tan Taixuan and others into the pass, exchanged a few symbolic courtesies and said some insincere words of gratitude, and then there was no more sound. The atmosphere was so depressing that those children from aristocratic families were almost too embarrassed to stay.
In stark contrast to Qingyang Pass, Mu Hanyan and the others were greeted with thunderous cheers as soon as they entered Beining Pass. All the soldiers defending the city and the civilians responsible for the construction and logistics of the pass gathered on both sides of the narrow road. Many people even knelt on the ground with tears of gratitude.
"Hurry up, how can this junior accept such a great gift? Hurry up." Mu Hanyan was not used to the feeling of being worshipped by everyone, and hurriedly helped up an old man who was kneeling in the front.
"If it weren't for you, sir, leading people to rescue us this time, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Beining Pass would have died without a burial place. You are worthy of this gift, sir." The old man bowed deeply to Mu Hanyan before standing up.
The other people also followed suit and then came forward with respectful eyes, holding cups of clean water.
It can be seen that the people of Beining Pass have had a hard time even though they have held out until now. They are all ragged and skinny. Apart from this bowl of water, they have nothing decent to offer to express their gratitude.
"Thank you." Mu Hanyan took the chipped earthenware bowl and drank the water in one gulp. Although it was just a bowl of water, it contained the simple affection of the soldiers and civilians at Beining Pass, sweeter than fine wine.
"Brother Qu, you drink some water too." At this time, a timid voice sounded beside him.
A young girl came to Qu Fengting holding some clear water. Although she was dressed simply like other people in the pass, her shy look was quite touching.
Qu Fengting glanced at him, took the bowl from her hand and took a sip, then walked to Mu Hanyan and quickly drew out the long sword with many gaps at his waist.
"Brother Qu, what are you doing?" The girl was shocked.
The others were also shocked and looked over in confusion. They weren't worried that Qu Fengting would harm Mu Hanyan. They had all witnessed Mu Hanyan's strength with their own eyes. Not only one Qu Fengting, but even ten Qu Fengtings wouldn't be able to threaten him.
"Young Master Mu, I've said before, as long as you save Beining Pass and my master, I will die as a token of gratitude to the world." Qu Fengting said while half-kneeling on the ground. Looking at his determined eyes, it was clear that he was not just talking.
"What? No!" The girl was so scared that her hand shook and the ceramic bowl broke into pieces.
Mu Hanyan showed a barely perceptible smile at the corner of her mouth and looked at Qu Fengting without saying a word.
"Sir...sir, I don't know how Brother Qu offended you. Please spare his life, okay?" the girl pleaded. It was obvious that the girl was naturally weak, and begging Mu Hanyan like this had taken all her courage.
"Lan Xiu, I haven't offended Young Master Mu. I did something wrong in the past and killed too many people. If Young Master Mu hadn't shown mercy, I would have died long ago. Now that Young Master Mu is helping me, Beining Pass has no worries anymore. It's time for me to pay the price for the wrong things I have done." Qu Fengting shook his head, his eyes filled with deep regret.
