Zhan Wenwu looked surprised.
He trusted Feng Xiaotian completely. If the other party said they would send someone, then they definitely would.
But if the Divine Blood sent people, how could the front lines have fallen?
Upon hearing the battle report from the front, Feng Xiaotian was also shocked.
He thought that this war, like previous major crises, could be resolved by simply sending some experts.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be so tricky.
"Dad, this time it was my eldest sister leading the team herself, they..."
Feng Wan'er rushed over upon hearing the news, her face filled with anxiety. She knew that her sister, Feng Li, had led the team to the front lines, and now there was no news coming back. It was highly likely that the situation was dire.
Feng Xiaotian clenched his fists tightly, then relaxed them, shaking his head and saying, "Don't worry too much. This time I've sent dozens of Martial Saints, as well as Supreme Elders from various righteous sects. Even if we encounter the so-called Reva, we're not afraid!"
He had heard of those humanoid mechs before, but he hadn't taken them too seriously.
"Dad, don't underestimate them. How about I take another team to meet up with my eldest sister and the others?"
Feng Wan'er volunteered.
"No!"
Feng Xiaotian immediately rejected the idea, "Wan'er, you are still young and have no experience in leading troops. This time, I will go instead!"
"But……"
"No need to say any more!"
Feng Xiaotian shouted loudly.
With his eldest daughter's fate unknown, he didn't want his second daughter to put herself in danger.
"Patriarch Feng, you cannot go!"
At this moment, Zhan Wenwu spoke up, saying, "You are now the Lord of the Divine Bloodline, and I am well aware of the ancestral precepts of the Divine Bloodline: the emperor guards the nation's borders. At this critical moment, neither of us can leave Yandu. Otherwise, if they secretly open a battlefront and attack Yandu, I fear..."
Feng Xiaotian immediately became alert.
That's right, the Divine Bloodline has such an ancestral precept.
What if something happens to Yandu if he leaves?
The foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty lies here. If anything happens to Yandu, he will become a sinner against the divine blood and the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Dad, let me go. Even Hongye was willing to sacrifice herself for the Divine Blood and the Human Emperor. What am I? Now our Divine Blood is depleted, like fallen leaves in autumn. If we continue to be flowers in a greenhouse, how will we face our ancestors when we die!"
Seeing his daughter's firm and resolute gaze, Feng Xiaotian's heart wavered.
After a fierce internal struggle, he finally sighed, "Alright, I'm sending you this time, but remember, your mission is to support your sister, not to fight the enemy head-on!"
"I understand, Dad!"
And so, Feng Wan'er set off.
This time, however, Feng Xiaotian took out a magical artifact from the ancestral hall and gave it to her to protect herself.
This is a red-tasseled spear.
Near-divine artifact!
It is also a clan treasure made from divine blood!
This quasi-divine artifact has remained untouched for over a thousand years since it was enshrined in the ancestral hall.
Feng Wan'er donned a red battle armor and led a group of experts to look back from the city wall, gazing towards the garden within a garden.
In the courtyard, many clansmen came one after another to see Feng Wan'er off.
They all knew that this crisis concerned the fate of the entire Great Xia Dynasty, and even the Divine Bloodline.
The Divine Blood and the Lizardmen are sworn enemies spanning tens of thousands of years. Ten thousand years later, their defeated foe tries to crawl out of the earth and wreak havoc on the world, but the Divine Blood and the Lizardmen will never allow it!
“Our ancestors once drove these reptiles to the earth, and now, as descendants of divine blood, we will surely be able to suppress them once again!”
"Let's go!"
Feng Wan'er roared and led a large group of experts toward the front line.
...
At this moment, far to the southeast, among the hundreds of thousands, a column of soldiers was fleeing at breakneck speed.
Whew! Whew!
A beautiful woman led the group into the mountains.
Everyone was in a sorry state, especially the beautiful woman, whose armor was torn and who had a knife wound at her waist, with her internal organs almost spilling out. After landing with her men, she ordered them to rest and then had someone bring needles and thread to stitch up her wound.
"Sister Li, just bear with it!"
A female healer carefully cleaned Feng Li's wound. Alcohol was spilled on the wound, and even the eldest daughter of the Feng family, who was known as a tough woman, couldn't help but scream.
However, worried that the enemy tracking her might hear her, she quickly bit down on the towel, letting large beads of sweat stream down her cheeks.
Whew! Whew!
Finally, the wound was stitched up, and enduring the searing pain, she stood up and decided to continue her journey.
"Young Miss, your injuries are too severe, you should rest a bit more!"
"Yes, if this continues, you'll die!"
Everyone tried to persuade him.
Feng Li kept shaking her head. "This time we fell into the lizardmen's ambush. The responsibility lies with me. Because of my mistake, the military command was wiped out, all departments were paralyzed, and the city was lost. If I can't get the news back to Yandu, even if I die, I will not be able to escape the blame!"
It turned out that when Feng Li led her people to Haining to provide support, they were ambushed by the lizardmen.
They were caught off guard by dozens of mechs. More than half of the experts were struck by lasers and died on the spot before they could even make a move.
Fortunately, Feng Li reacted in time and did not confront the enemy head-on. Instead, she used her mobility against the many experts of the Divine Blood Sect to maneuver around Nanling.
They have been hiding in the mountains for over ten hours now. Although they have not been captured yet, the enemy's encirclement is getting tighter and tighter.
At Feng Li's insistence, the group continued their escape.
The road north is blocked.
Feng Li glanced at the map, gritted her teeth, pointed to a mountain range, and said, "Go to the Daliang Mountains. If all else fails, we can try to break through from the Qinling Mountains. There are many poisonous creatures and ferocious beasts there, so they probably won't send many troops to surround us!"
Feng Li made a bold decision: to cross the Qinling Mountains.
However, everyone had heard about the treacherousness of the Qinling Mountains.
One of his men hesitated and said, "This is the season when the poisonous haze is most severe, and we have so many wounded..."
Swish swish swish!
Before he could finish speaking, the wounded soldiers stood up one after another.
"Young Miss, we'll stay behind and provide cover!"
"You've led everyone across the Qinling Mountains, you must get the message out!"
"Tell the Emperor that we are not afraid to die, and beg him to protect my divine blood, defend my Great Xia, and drive the lizardmen back underground!"
At the critical moment of life and death, these tough men were fearless, their eyes filled with determination!
Feng Li's vision blurred instantly.
But the next moment, she wiped away her tears, shook her head and said, "My divine blood will not abandon any of my companions. You and I may have different surnames, but we all have the same blood color. We are all descendants of the Human Emperor, brothers and comrades. I will not abandon any of you, even if it means sacrificing my own life!"
"Oh, listen to this! How magnificent! Who says women are inferior to men? We women of divine blood are even more masculine than men!"
A compliment, clearly tinged with mockery, came from afar.
Feng Li's expression froze, and she turned around abruptly to see dozens of mecha figures surrounding them.
The person in the lead, with a mocking expression, was none other than Shi Tingfang!
