Northwest Military Camp
Ji Wushuang transferred all the soldiers in the surrounding area to the Northwest military camp to strengthen troop deployment and soldier training in preparation for the upcoming battle.
Assassination Pavilion
Duan Yang, Huangfu Hua, Zhang Huaien, and Ying sat in the courtyard drinking tea. In previous years, Huangfu Hua and Duan Yang had been traveling around.
By chance, he met Ying and Zhang Huaien, who were out on business. The group spent some time together, got along very well, and became friends.
After that, Huangfu Hua would often go to the Assassination Pavilion to sit and chat with Zhang Huaien.
As the group was chatting, Hu Da walked in and told Ying about what the Assassination Pavilion had learned about the appearance of immortals in the desert and that the desert was gathering troops to prepare for an attack on the northwest border.
Huangfu Hua asked in confusion, "An immortal has appeared in the desert. What's going on? Is he the Holy Son?"
Hu Da: "He should not be the Holy Son. There are no signs of the Holy Son's appearance back then. However, I heard that this person can stand in the air above the Southern Garden King's villa. He is dressed in white, has an otherworldly air, and is surrounded by golden light. He should not be an ordinary person."
Zhang Huaien: "In that case, wouldn't it be very difficult for the dynasty to resist attacks from the desert?"
Huangfu Hua said worriedly, "That must be the case."
Duan Yang and Ying exchanged a glance and reached a consensus to go and find out what was going on.
After learning of their intentions, Huangfu Hua insisted on going along as well. What was originally a trip for just the two of them ended up being a trip for all four of them.
Shortly after Ying set off, Hu Da gathered a group of assassins from the Assassination Pavilion and followed closely behind, heading towards the northwest border.
Tianfo Temple
Wu Wang glanced in the direction of the desert, then called Kong Jue. The two quickly packed their things and set off for the northwest border.
Divine Doctor Valley
Gu Jixuan also received a letter from Mu Chengyu and packed her things to prepare to go to the Northwest military camp.
Just as they left the valley, they encountered Tao Wuqing, who was returning from gathering herbs. Upon learning that Gu Jixuan was going to the Northwest military camp, Tao Wuqing disregarded any advice and insisted on going with him.
Two months later
Northwest border
The two armies faced off.
In the desert, Mo Zhantian led over a hundred soldiers who had practiced body-refining techniques, standing at the forefront, followed by the desert's main fighting force and one-third of the soldiers belonging to the Mobei Anxin pro-peace faction.
On the Dynasty's side, Mu Chengyu stood at the front, accompanied by the taciturn young general Ji Wushuang, clad in armor. Behind them stood Duan Yang, Ying, and a group of assassins from the Assassin's Pavilion, numbering about several dozen. Following them were the Dynasty's soldiers.
Mo Zhantian raised his right hand and gave a command, leading more than a hundred elite soldiers who had cultivated body-refining techniques to charge out.
Mu Chengyu and Mo Zhantian clashed, while over a hundred warriors who had cultivated body-refining techniques fought against Ji Wushuang, Duan Yang, and a group of assassins from the Assassin's Pavilion.
One-third of the soldiers in the desert, belonging to the peace-loving faction of the northern desert, had no intention of fighting. They were taking advantage of the chaos on the battlefield, and some even secretly covered the dynasty's soldiers.
The battlefield was in chaos, and soldiers on both sides were wounded.
The soldiers who fought in the desert were mainly trying to seize the rich lands of the dynasty. On the battlefield, they left some room for maneuver and did not kill their opponents after severely wounding them.
This created a strange phenomenon: the two sides were fighting fiercely on the battlefield, but neither side tacitly agreed to kill the other.
Sima Huan didn't say anything when he saw this. He had planned all this just to seize the dragon energy and faith power of the dragon vein. He didn't care about the life and death of a bunch of ants.
Huangfu Hua and Zhang Huaien were helping the Divine Doctor Valley's fellow disciples Gu Jixuan and Tao Wuqing treat the wounded. There were quite a few wounded soldiers, and the group was very busy going in and out.
Wilderness Continent
It took Mu Qing and Murong Yu three days to travel from the top of the snow mountain back to the Mountain Stone Tribe.
Since the emotional turmoil that day atop the snow-capped mountain, Mu Qing has been restless for the past three days, and the primordial power swirling in its dantian has become increasingly agitated.
As soon as they arrived at the two people's courtyard, the power of origin surged. Mu Qing instinctively reached out and grabbed Murong Yu's arm beside her. Then, the blue-green color enveloped the two of them and they disappeared into the Mountain Stone Tribe.
