The eldest sister didn't want to bring a burden with her. Madam Jialing, who was not a cultivator, would only slow down their speed because she couldn't enter the talisman formation. People who were not cultivators would be completely separated from that mysterious and wonderful world because they couldn't sense the vitality. If they were forced into the talisman formation, there would be no good end.

This time, Madam Jialing made up her mind. She begged the senior sister with humble words such as "lead the way and help", but the latter was still unmoved. She is not a little girl, how can she be so willful? A mission is a mission, and it is not a good thing to mix too much emotion when performing a mission. Her emotions are left to the students of the academy and peach blossoms, and they are not yet overflowing.

The eldest sister has her own principles, but Ah Zhu is still a little girl who is easily moved. Therefore, this scene happened.

As the sun sets, Xia Xiao spreads his wings, and Ju Mang carries Ah Zhu on his back. The eldest sister floats in the air, with her right pinky finger slightly raised, and Madam Jia Ling is carried through the clouds. The energy shield around her prevents her from feeling any discomfort, and the wind is blocked out, so she cannot sense anything.

Xia Xiao and the other two were fine, but this was Madam Jialing's first time leaving the imperial capital, and it was also her first time traveling in this way. Although the feeling was very subtle, after getting rid of the fear, she was swift and secretly proud of being high above, but she didn't dare to look down, and finally closed her eyes.

At dusk, the clouds in the sky were like fire, shining on the faces of the four people, and some solemnity appeared inadvertently. Especially Ah Zhu, he didn't dare to speak as if he had done something wrong, otherwise he would definitely ask Nan Shang why he wanted to dominate the world, or if there was anything special about Tianmeng Country, as usual.

Ah Zhu felt wronged. She only offered to help the lady because she felt sorry for her. She said that they could go together, but she didn't expect to make the senior sister and Xia Xiao unhappy. In fact, she knew that this was not good, but she didn't know it at the time. She just felt that it was very unfair. The lady loved the prince so much, why did he only care about that woman with black magic?

Take a look at Madam Jialing. She is mature and charming, and she is not ugly. Why is she not likable?

Ah Zhu pouted her lips and suddenly thought of herself and Shu Shuang. She felt that she was pretty good, and her personality was better than Shu Shuang's. Why didn't Xia Xiao like her? She was somewhat confident before, but when she saw Madam Jia Ling, it was like seeing herself, and all her confidence disappeared.

"What are you thinking about? Not saying a word is not like you."

“Upset.”

Ah Zhu still likes chatting with Ju Mang. She has a good first impression of him and thinks he is like a warm-hearted older brother. If Xia Xiao is an introverted person, Ju Mang is as energetic as Ah Zhu.

"Brother Ju Mang, I did something wrong, how can I make up for it?"

"It's just a small matter, don't worry about it. At this speed, it's a bit of a stretch to catch up. But even if we can't catch up, we can still prevent the war from breaking out and solve the prince's problem first."

Ah Zhu bit his lip and became more and more annoyed the more he thought about it.

"I'll apologize later."

Ju Mang listened to her discouraged tone and smiled slightly. It was a small matter, but she should apologize. It was a matter of courtesy.

When the last light of dusk disappeared and night came, the four of them began to rest. Sitting around the fire, they ate something casually. Ah Zhu pulled the eldest sister and Xia Xiao aside and bowed respectfully to apologize. At night, Ah Zhu was brighter than the fire, but the grievance on his little face was heartbreaking.

"I'm sorry, I wasted your time."

"Don't cry, I've thought about it and it's just right to go this way."

Xia Xiao looked at the senior sister. She should not just be comforting Ah Zhu. But it was too late to go there when the war broke out. Although the academy was not a church, it could not just watch the war break out. Peace was always the main color of the Great Wilderness, but this wish was too extravagant.

"Although Xia Xiao saw the prince's black pupils with his own eyes and could judge that he had black energy and magic power in his body, I didn't find anything unusual when I examined him last time. I even focused on Prince Wu's mansion, Prince Wu and the people around him, but still found nothing, which means they have special hidden skills. If they want to start a war, there will definitely be death. The power of the magic will not converge in the face of death, and we can take the opportunity to catch it."

"That makes sense. If they are determined to hide, it will be difficult for us to do anything. But as long as they show a little, we will make sure they can't take it back."

Glancing at his wife who was standing by the fire with her back to him, Xia Xiao said quietly:

"I hope the news of her leaving the imperial capital has not leaked out, and I also hope she really wants to help us."

"From her previous tone, she wouldn't lie to us, right?"

Azhu was not sure, and when he looked at Xia Xiao and the senior sister, the latter nodded.

"I have been observing that there are no wild beasts delivering messages in this sky, and there are no fluctuations of communication arrays along the way."

If only Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu were there, these things would be hard to sense, but the eldest sister's clone could do all these, which made Xia Xiao curious. How high is the realm above the Tao? Standing on the top of the clouds, the scene may be different from that seen when flying into the sky. It is so mysterious, I hope he can feel it soon.

Madam Jialing was used to seeing the expressions of the three people, and knew that they were somewhat reluctant to take her with them. But since this was her first time making such a decision, she would not go back easily after leaving the imperial capital. Therefore, she acted very attentive and rushed to do everything, which made Xia Xiao and the other two feel strange, but they were too embarrassed to refuse, so they let her go.

Madam originally thought that leaving the imperial capital and going to a strange place would require a lot of preparation, so every time before Jing Qi left, she would prepare a lot of things for him. But he never took anything with him, as if he only wanted to go with Jing Xuan. Now she finally understood why, it only took a moment, no wonder he was annoyed with her.

A day later, when the four were still heading towards Yuliu Creek, they were already preparing for war.

The 50,000 troops of Nan Shang were not stationed at the border, but in a remote place, in a mountain three kilometers from the border. The soldiers in the barracks were fully armed, with horses, ready to go.

The terrain here is steep, but the horses stand very steadily, their deep eyes gleaming with deep light, their glossy manes glittering, ready to shuttle among the arrows. The weapons of the cavalry are not the swords at their waists, nor the spears at their backs, but these horses.

For this warlike cavalry army, only the most ferocious horses can get off to a fierce start.

The war horses, who had combat experience, were extremely relaxed at this time. Their muscles were not tense because of the armor on their bodies. Only in this way could they run faster in the next charge. Although they were still three kilometers away from the border, they would die as soon as they reacted without the enemy noticing. And those nervous new horses were full of energy at the beginning, but they would soon be left behind.

The old horse ate grass, and the new horse followed the soldier's gaze to a man with sword-like eyebrows. He stood in the crowd, riding a horse, wearing a black armor, and the black cloak behind him was like the dark night sky that had not yet arrived. The woman next to him was also dressed in the same outfit, but she was slender and did not look bloated in the armor.

Black cavalry is the characteristic of the Nanshang army. Every war begins with these troops known as black lightning. Among them, there are countless practitioners. In the elite army of Nanshang, warriors are as numerous as stray dogs in the imperial capital, and talisman masters can gather a table of wine on the street. But now, they all have to listen to the words of this man with sword eyebrows.

"Everyone, this is our first battle with Tianmeng. The enemy has 100,000 border guards and 358 practitioners. We will launch a charge after the third wave of arrows from the border army. Be prepared for battle. I won't say anything about mobilization. If you don't want the chance to be promoted, then I have nothing to say."

The man behaved extremely coldly, as if he was a cunning man with no morale at all.

They are still hiding in the dense jungle, they cannot see the sun, and they are still hiding. When the charge horn sounds, the dusk light of death will arouse their passion, they will move forward in the sound of horse hooves, the vigorous posture of the old horse and the figure of the prince leading the way will be the best mobilization.

In the distance, the sound of arrows breaking through the wind was obvious, neighing in the air. The sword-browed man rode his horse through the crowd and came to the road. When he left the dense jungle, the light of dusk finally hit his face. Today, dusk will witness their ambitions. Their goal is to break through the border of Tianmeng Country, establish a new garrison, let the Southern Merchants army come in, and start a real declaration of war.

The arm in front of the sword-shaped eyebrows was raised, and the whip at the end of the arm made an arc in the air and hit the horse's butt hard. The warhorse raised its hooves and would not stop until it crushed the enemy's head.

The warhorse galloped, like black lightning streaking across the ground, and quickly followed the road to the border. Jingxuan followed the prince with a pair of sword-like eyebrows and prepared for the fight. This battle was a good opportunity for her. She wanted to use the souls of the dead to repair her own injuries. She had not yet recovered from the injury that Hu Bugui brought her that day.

The two of them walked together, leaving 50,000 soldiers chasing closely behind them, but there was always some distance between them. This was the distance between the general and the soldiers, and also the distance between the superiority and inferiority of the war horses. The people behind wanted to catch up, but they could only get close if they killed enough enemies and gained military merits.

When the 50,000 troops finally reached the broad road, the ground began to tremble more and more violently. When the stones left the ground and the grass was crushed to pieces, the troops on the Nanshang border began the second round of arrow rain. The sky with the color of dusk was inevitably desolate, but under the rain of arrows, there were more deaths. The shadows of the arrows that passed by the ground flashed by, taking away people's souls.

War horses passed by the military camp, the sound of horse hooves shook the sky. The general Zhongwu in the camp used his energy to amplify his own voice and ordered the soldiers to draw their bows, preparing for the third round of shooting.

"The bows in your hands are all good and can never be broken! Use all your strength!"

When the arrows on the bows were aimed at the distant camp, General Zhongwu gave an order. Immediately, a rain of arrows covered the sky again. This was the last time of darkness, because night had fallen, and the whole world was suddenly wiped out of a layer of color.
