"Generals, this may be our only opportunity to turn the tide and seize the initiative. Who is willing to go to Border City?"
"This General volunteers!"
Kneeling at the table, Xuan Li pondered for a moment, "Zhu Qing, you take five hundred soldiers to Border City. If only Jin Zhi were here now." Xuan Li sighed.
"Indeed, Mu Family Villa is right by Border City, and Misty Mountain is enigmatic, making it an excellent place to evade the enemy."
"This General will take command." Zhu Qing immediately set off with five hundred soldiers.
"Generals, as night falls, quickly account for casualties and prepare to retreat."
"This General obeys!"
Watching the soldiers leave the tent, Xuan Li then called Mel closer. "Mel, I must thank you this time. Come take a look; it seems all of the Black Armored Army is heading towards a single objective. However, they haven't closed in yet, and I can't discern their goal."
"Your Majesty, just watch." Mel picked up a flag marking a location on the map and laid it down. "The intersection of all these flags indicates where this group of Black Armored Army soldiers intends to go!"
"Hurry and show me." Xuan Li also took a flag and began to lay it out along the marching route of the Black Armored Army.
"This is..." The two looked at the map, and the final intersection point was at Heavenly Abyss West Nether.
"Western Desert of Ximing."
"Western Abyss? Their aim isn't Heavenly Xuan. Should we avoid the Black Armored Army and conserve our strength or...?" Xuan Li furrowed his brow. "What do they intend to do?"
"The Western Abyss has been a mysterious place since ancient times; I know nothing about it."
Xuan Li waved his hand, "Forget it, we will march and avoid the Black Armored Army's main route."
"Your Majesty, I think we have no way to retreat. Look, almost all the strongholds have Black Armored Soldiers appearing. Their target may be the Western Abyss, but they are attacking cities during the day and resting at night; they are not just rushing."
"They intend to destroy Heavenly Xuan." Xuan Li folded the map and opened the tent, "Send orders to the entire army to march to the nearby town of Border City and observe from across the river."
"Yes!"
In Border City, chaos reigned.
"We need to hurry; once the sun rises, the Black Armored Army will come." Zhu Qing was helping soldiers transport supplies, and the soldiers who hadn't slept for several nights appeared somewhat exhausted.
The sky was just beginning to brighten, with birds chirping on Misty Mountain. Qing Lian pushed open the bamboo door; today she planned to go down the mountain to buy some daily necessities. "Hehe, stop eating bamboo; we're going out." Qing Lian led Hehe down the mountain path. Hehe seemed restless and kept growling. "What's wrong, Hehe?" Before she finished speaking, Hehe had already run off ahead. Qing Lian looked up and saw a white horse lying on the ground not far ahead. She approached and found a person unconscious on the ground. The armor they wore was scattered about, and their wounds did not appear to be from weapons but rather from some beast's claws.
"Young Master?" Qing Lian crouched down; Hehe lay beside her. "I'll go find someone to save you; I'm willing but powerless."
With a labored cough, the injured person furrowed their brows and opened their eyes.
"Qing Lian?"
Qing Lian's pretty face turned pale as she saw Zhu Qing's somewhat dazed gaze.
"Zhu Qing, what happened to you?"
"It really is you." Zhu Qing managed a faint smile, his desire to survive growing stronger. "Quickly take me up the mountain."
"What happened?" Suppressing many questions, Qing Lian draped Zhu Qing's arm over her shoulder. "Can you still walk?"
"Yes."
It turned out that Zhu Qing had completed the task assigned by the Emperor before dark and was preparing to retreat with the army. However, scouts reported that the Emperor was trapped in a small town near Border City. The only way to save the Emperor was to create an opening. With few soldiers at his disposal, Zhu Qing devised a plan to set fire to the enemy. After ensuring the safe retreat of the civilians, he led five hundred soldiers to set fire behind the Black Armored Army. Under the enemy's counterattack, the entire army was annihilated, but thanks to the rampaging White Steed, they managed to break through the encirclement.
However, the White Steed had been torn apart by Black Armored Army soldiers and had already breathed its last.
"Hehe, help me."
"Ugh."
Hehe actually wanted to say that such a large body was of no use. In the end, Qing Lian still used Hehe, this panda, as a mount and carried Zhu Qing up Misty Mountain. As for the trapped Emperor, he could only fend for himself.
"Your Majesty, we are surrounded," Herald said anxiously. Everyone hoped that the Emperor could come up with a way to lead them to safety.
But the Emperor was also in a state of turmoil, surrounded by cries and wails.
"Your Majesty, for the honor of our empire, we have been torn to pieces. When we are unable to protect you, please take your own life to maintain the dignity of the royal family."
Is it really a complete defeat? Has it come to this? Why has the Black Armored Army, which has always lacked strategy and formation, suddenly become so formidable? Could it be that their leader has appeared? With fearless soldiers and such a clever commander, there is no possibility of victory in this battle.
Heaven wants my demise. This is Xuan Li's conclusion.
"Mu Family Iron Guard, swear to protect the Emperor at all costs." Although Mu Yu had issued orders in this dire situation, the Mu Family's Iron Guard were just ordinary people. Faced with iron-like warriors, they were powerless. Finally, claws broke through the heavy encirclement, and with a sickening sound, an Imperial General beside Xuan Li was disemboweled.
"Your Majesty, run!" In this moment of extreme crisis, Mel stood in front of Xuan Li. "Your Majesty, go to Western Abyss; I will fight for you!" Watching as fierce black-armored soldiers fell before him, Mel was stunned—he hadn't even made a move yet.
"Benefactor! I am late." A cheerful voice rang out as a little girl in a lake-green dress stood among a group of fallen claws, smiling innocently.
"Who are you?"
"I am Azure Sky!"
"Why say so much?" Before the girl could finish her sentence, she was pulled away by the boy dressed in a fiery red cloak.
"You're my father, right? I've come to save you, hm!" The Red-Clad Boy snorted coldly at the Emperor and dragged the girl away.
"Rude." The girl, infuriated, stomped her foot and tried to break free from the boy's grip to run towards her benefactor.
The exhausted Emperor knelt on one knee, his expression more sorrowful than that of Mel, who lay sprawled on the ground. Bathed in the sunset, the ground was littered with corpses.
"Don't be too sad; they have all gone to the Western Abyss, the Eternal Realm. Hmph!" The boy stood with his hands on his hips in front of Xuan Li. "So pathetic, how could I possibly have any blood ties with you?"
"Eternal Realm?" Xuan Li found it hard to comprehend. He didn't pay much attention to the boy's claim of blood ties; how could he possibly have such a big son?
"Stop crying; it's really ugly. He's not dead yet." The Red-Clad Boy messed up the hair of the little girl in green, his attitude extremely unpleasant.
Xuan Li furrowed his brows; this scene felt so familiar.
"Do you feel it’s familiar? Hehe!"
That voice?
"Fallen Heart, have you called him 'father' yet?"
"Father!"
"Did I lie to you? You're not a child without a father."
The Red-Clad Boy lowered his head and glanced at Xuan Li.
"Jinse?" Xuan Li raised her head, the backlight obscuring the woman's appearance, but she could vaguely see a graceful figure, full of allure.
"Let's go, Fallen Heart," the woman said coolly as she turned around.
"Benefactor!!!" Azure Sky cried out loudly, shaking Mel's body. "Ah!!! Another one has fallen. Are they all dead?"
"Take them away." Jinse glanced at the battlefield strewn with corpses. "Delicious!" A black halo emanated from her, slowly enveloping the surroundings. After the dark haze disappeared, there was nothing left but the strong smell of blood in the air. The woman in black shook her head with a smile; who is Jinse? Hehe.
"I have a bad feeling," Fengyin said, leaning on Hibiscus's shoulder. "If your loved ones are gone..."
"What?"
"Then we should go back. I know where they are; bringing them to the real world will keep them safe."
"What are you talking about?"
"You can't go back. You cannot return to the ancient battlefield until you find Pangu the Great's consciousness."
"Peach Yao, I always feel like you're watching us."
Not at night, either.
"Fengyin," Peach Yao said, crossing her arms, "you heartless person, I'm concerned about you. There is no true death on the ancient battlefield; what is called death is merely the transformation of a War Soul. A complete War Soul may split into two or three; there is hope that one day they will find each other again. Of course, there are also powerful War Souls that have never lost themselves throughout countless reincarnations; such individuals are rare. Only a complete War Soul can leave the ancient battlefield, just like you, Hibiscus. This is also why the Goddess chose you."
"Peach Yao, what are you talking about? It's simple, I like him, so I will marry him. Didn't you say I was incomplete? How can I leave?"
"How can you even compare yourself to us?" Peach Yao said, frustrated.
"Honey, let's go. We need to return and save your family."
"We can't go back. I've already said there is no true death; Soft Body's passing is for the return of War Soul."
"This is a reshuffling, a prelude to returning to the ancient battlefield. All those who have died are for the rebirth of the Witch of the Moon. The demon race devours to purify the battlefield, while the Celestial Race uses celestial arts to purify souls. Everything is for the return of the ancient War Soul, so that the undying War Souls from the ancient battlefield can reunite and ultimately break through the ancient battlefield, bringing the reborn ancient War Souls back to the real world, destroying the ancient battlefield and establishing a vast star road to protect the real world. Then the powerful Yingyue will be my substitute; I will go far away. I know all this, Hibiscus, do you understand?"
A hint of sorrow flashed in Hibiscus's eyes. "Where are you going with them?"
"I'm going with them."
"Yin Yin."
"The War Souls have no memories; they only have fighting spirit. Is it worth it to sacrifice so many lives for them? I'm a doctor, and I strongly disapprove of your actions."
Peach Yao sighed. "When the crisis comes, you'll understand that sacrificing a small part of those who have long been dead is right."
"You make me hate myself; I'm not her." Fengyin held Hibiscus tightly. "Let's go; let Grandpa live well here while we fulfill Master’s last wish."
"You cannot return to the ancient battlefield; everyone has already died." Peach Yao shook her head. "You are them; they are you."
