Mo Zhantian was so engrossed in watching the two fighting in mid-air that he didn't hear what Gu Li was saying at all. He only vaguely heard the word "retreat," and immediately shouted, "All soldiers, listen up! Retreat to camp immediately!"
Then, without turning around, he said to Guli beside him, "You go back too, go with them, hurry up..."
Gu Li stared at Mo Zhantian in disbelief and explained, "No...no...that's not what I meant."
Gu Li said wearily, "What he meant was not to tell the soldiers to retreat. He clearly wanted to take advantage of the dynasty's small population to launch an attack and take them down in one fell swoop."
Mo Zhantian interrupted him impatiently, saying, "Alright, alright, don't bother me. I'm busy watching the battle."
Gu Li looked behind him and saw that all the ordinary soldiers had already withdrawn, leaving only a hundred or so soldiers who had practiced body-refining techniques.
Clearly, the hundred or so people weren't focused on the battle; they were all staring intently at the two combatants not far away, marveling at their performance.
Gu Li: "......"
Rear of the battlefield
Huangfu Hua had been keeping a close eye on the battlefield. When he saw a large number of soldiers returning, he went up to ask why. He learned that a mysterious man in blue robes was fighting against an immortal from the desert. The wounded soldiers were being cared for by the uninjured soldiers, and no one had died.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but his curiosity was piqued again, and he decided to go to the battlefield to take a look. After thinking for a moment, he decided to go to the tent first to get some medicine to take with him, thinking, "In case Duanyang and the others get injured, I can use it on them."
Inside the tent
25 minutes ago
Just as Mu Qing was channeling his energy to set up a protective barrier, Tao Wuqing, who was preparing medicine in the tent, suddenly felt her blood and qi boiling. The herbs she was holding accidentally fell to the ground. Without bothering to pick up the herbs, Tao Wuqing clutched her chest with her right hand and murmured in a daze, "Clan members, are they our ancestors?"
A strange bitterness welled up in my heart, and tears welled up in my eyes.
Seeing this, Gu Jixuan walked over worriedly and asked with concern, "Wuqing, you..."
Tao Wuqing remained silent, turned around and hugged Gu Jixuan, burying her head in his shoulder and sobbing.
The crying gradually grew from soft sobs to loud wailing.
Gu Jixuan was at a loss, gently comforting her, "Don't cry, don't cry..."
She reached out and gently patted Tao Wuqing's back, letting him lie on her body and cry.
Upon seeing this, Huangfu Hua, who had come in to fetch the medicine, coughed lightly and said to Gu Jixuan in a serious tone, "Jixuan, what's wrong with you? How did you make that heartless boy cry?"
After speaking, she stared intently at the two of them, her eyes blazing with gossip. Tao Wuqing, upon hearing this, indeed stopped crying, quickly released her grip on Gu Jixuan, hastily wiped away her tears, and explained anxiously, "Senior Huangfu, no...no...my senior brother didn't, it was me..."
Huangfu Hua listened calmly with his hands behind his back, then waved his hand dismissively and said meaningfully, "You don't need to say anything, you don't need to say anything, I understand, I know everything..." After saying that, he took some medicine to stop the bleeding and treat the wound, and left.
As soon as he stepped out of the tent, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, and then happily ran towards the battlefield.
Tao Wuqing said somewhat embarrassedly, "Senior brother, I'm sorry, I caused you to be misunderstood."
Gu Jixuan took out a handkerchief from her bosom, gently wiped away the tears on his face, then patted his shoulder reassuringly and said gently, "It's alright, Senior Huangfu was just teasing you, don't take it to heart."
Gu Jixuan looked at Tao Wuqing with some concern and asked, "Wuqing, just now you..."
Upon hearing this, Tao Wuqing seemed to remember something, grabbed Gu Jixuan's hand and ran out of the tent. They ran all the way out of the camp and met Huangfu Hua, who was on his way to the battlefield. The three of them then went to the battlefield together.
The three quickly arrived at the battlefield and saw two figures fighting in the air.
