Chapter 123: Turmoil

  Word count: 604538 Recommendation: ???????????????????????????“Is it possible? (..no pop-up ads)”, Leng Di Yao's face revealed a puzzled expression. Because of the sudden disappearance of the entire Hu Yan team, even the last batch of remaining men and horses had vanished. Because in front of Tiger Mountain Valley, Leng Xiao Yao only saw a small portion of the original Hu Yan team soldiers' corpses.

  Bai Mang nodded and said: "It's possible. So far, the Tianlong Kingdom has already beheaded more than a dozen troops that came to rescue the Stone Tiger people."

  "What's with these ten or so troops?" Leng Xiao Yao's eyebrows furrowed. Who exactly were these ten or so cavalry? Could it be that the Ferocious Tiger Troop still had a secret trump card?

  Liu Tian saw Leng Xiao Yao's confusion and explained: "Xiao Yao, do you think that once you join the army, you'll be serving forever?"

  Splash! Leng Xiao's eyes lit up and he asked, "What does Liu mean?"

  "That's right, the ones who came to rescue Shi Hu are definitely soldiers who used to serve in the Meng Hu Tuan. Although they have retired, their feelings for the Meng Hu Tuan must still exist. If I'm not mistaken, those retired soldiers must have heard the news and secretly contacted each other to take action to rescue him. It's just a pity."

  "What a pity?" Leng Xiao Yao didn't quite understand the word "poor" in Liu Tian's mouth.

  "Alas, they are all a group of iron men! Unfortunately, they were born in the wrong place." Bai Mang sighed, and he couldn't help but admire the spirit of the Měng Hǔ Tuán (Fierce Tiger Troop). Although his First Army Group was the strongest military unit in the Southern Dynasty, 20 years ago, he had lost to the Fierce Tiger Troop. He admitted defeat because he lost due to the troop's spirit - their fearless and relentless attack style, their unyielding and continuous advance. Even now, he still remembered it vividly.

  Quietly and silently, the respect for his own grandfather in his heart has been elevated again. As a commander-in-chief, he can be evaluated by his opponents to such an extent, it's truly worth dying for.

  After a moment of cold and leisurely contemplation, he stood up. He cupped his hands and said: "Uncle Bai, Old Liu, I'm going to the northern border, farewell."

  "Xiao Yao, you... did you think that?" Bai Meng reacted instantly to Xiao Yao's thoughts, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

  "Impossible." Liu Tian immediately opposed, "Xiao Yao, although your cultivation is profound. However, the Tian Long Kingdom still has an ace up its sleeve, otherwise your grandfather wouldn't have fallen victim to poisoning. By going there, aren't you just falling into Liu Yan's trap?"

  Wang Qifeng immediately echoed, "Right, Lord Leng, how can you say that Tianlong Kingdom currently has 300,000 troops stationed on the northern border? Even if you kill one by one, you can't finish them off!"

  Her snowy lips moved slightly, seemingly wanting to say something, but then retracted. Her eyes gazed at Leng Xiangyao, a look of anticipation on her face.

  Leng Xiao nodded and said, "Thank you all for your kindness, I have made up my mind."

  Bai Mang stood up, picked up the wine cup on the small table in front of him, and raised it to Leng Xiang: "Xiang, since you've made up your mind, Uncle Bai wishes you a safe journey. If you encounter any difficulties later, don't hesitate to come to me. I'm not bragging, but even if you bring all 300,000 soldiers from the Tianlong Kingdom to my border, I won't bat an eyelid."

  "Dad." Bai Xue heard her father say this and couldn't help but call out.

  Bai Mang glanced at his daughter, and his heart moved slightly. Then he sighed silently in his heart. From the moment she entered the military camp, her eyes had not left Leng Xiao Yao's body. As a father, how could he not see the look on his daughter's face?

  Liu Tian's expression changed slightly, and he finally said helplessly: "Xiaoyao, I have to protect Miss' safety. So I won't be able to accompany you, please forgive me."

  "Liu was being polite." Han Xiang naturally understood that Liu Tian's words were sincere, so he thanked him.

  BOOM!!!!!!! BOOM!!!!!!!!!! BOOM!!!!!!!!!! A loud explosion sounded, and a slight tremor was felt on the ground.

  Leng Xiao Yao and others' faces changed in an instant, the next moment. Everyone appeared outside the military camp, looking up at the northern direction, only to see a red glow illuminating half of the sky in the northern direction.

  "What's going on?" Wang Qifeng grabbed a passing soldier and asked.

  "General, I don't know either." The soldier was apparently intimidated by Wang Qifeng's appearance and stuttered out a sentence.

  Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a look of puzzlement appeared on her face, as if she couldn't understand the flames that had appeared in the sky above the northern country.

  "Magic Crystal Cannon?" Liu Tian said slowly and deliberately.

  "Magic crystal cannon? Has the Northern Kingdom already played its trump card so quickly?" Wang Qifeng's face showed a puzzled expression. He had only received news of Tianlong Kingdom's attack on the Northern Kingdom this afternoon, but by evening, the Northern Kingdom had already brought out its trump card to resist. Was Tianlong Kingdom that strong?

  Bai Mang nodded, then ordered Wang Qifeng: "Qifeng, immediately dispatch the Wind Wing Team to investigate the situation and ensure that the frontline battle situation is reported back in a timely manner."

  "Yes, General." Wang Qifeng knew that if everything went as he wished, the disturbance would be even greater.

  He gazed at the northern sky, which had turned red on one side, with a thoughtful expression on his face. The next moment, a whistling sound came out of his mouth.

  Whoosh! A white shadow appeared, like a ghost. It emerged in the military camp and arrived beside Leng Xiao Yao in an instant, letting out a low growl.

  "Uncle Bai, Old Liu, Miss Bai. I'll take my leave first." Han Qingsong flipped onto his horse and left a sentence behind, not waiting for the crowd to respond. He directly said to the unicorn: "Let's go."

  "Neigh, neigh, neigh." The unicorn received its master's command and set off at a gallop, covering tens of meters in an instant before taking to the air and flying swiftly towards the north.

  "The unicorn is indeed as legendary as its name suggests." Bai Mang's eyes flashed with a hint of envy, for this horse was truly one-of-a-kind, and anyone who laid eyes on it would undoubtedly fall in love with it. And to think that this horse would at least become a Sacred Beast-level magical creature in the future.

  "Grandpa Liu, nothing will happen to him, will it?" Bai Xue's tone was filled with worry.

  Liu Tian saw his young lady's worried expression and a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Young lady, you're worrying too much. Even if Xiang Yao encounters a powerful opponent, with the strength of a unicorn, he can at least protect his life. Moreover, Xiang Yao's cultivation is profound and unfathomable, so please don't worry!"

  "Really?"

  "Alright."

  Bai Xue saw Liu Tian so confident, and her heart that had been hanging in the air also let go, a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.

  The conversation between Bai Xue and Liu Tian all fell into the ears of Bai Meng, who was now filled with mixed emotions - joy that her daughter had finally begun to care for others, but also worry that her daughter might not have a good future. Originally, she thought that if Cold Xiao Yao were to become her son-in-law, it would be a perfect match, but she could see that Cold Xiao Yao was actually...

  Loyal and determined, he would jump into the abyss for his country. So it can be said that he is a good leader, but he is not a good husband.

  "Dad, Uncle Liu, I'm a bit tired. I'll go rest first." Bai Xue slightly bowed to Liu Tian and Bai Meng before turning around like a newly set up tent and walking away, leaving behind a lonely figure on the ground.

  Bai Mang saw this scene. After exchanging a glance with Liu Tian, both of them let out a sigh at the same time.

  "Liu Lao, do you think Xue'er has taken a liking to that carefree young man?" Bai Meng couldn't help but ask for confirmation of what she was thinking in her heart. Since she had been stationed at the border for many years and didn't have much contact with her daughter, she could only turn to Liu Tian, who had always been by Xue'er's side.

  Liu Tian saw Bai Meng's pleading eyes and glared at him, saying: "What? Doesn't Xue Er still have the right to choose the person she likes? I'm warning you, although you're my family head, but if you force Xue Er to marry someone she doesn't want to, no matter what, even if you are the family head, I won't give you face."

  Bai Mang heard Liu Tian's words and a bitter smile appeared on his face: "Liu Lao, what are you talking about? I, Bai Mang, may be useless, but I would never use my daughter's happiness in exchange for some crappy political marriage."

  "You'd better know that if I find out you've secretly arranged a marriage for Xue Er, I'll take her and leave this place immediately, going far, far away."

  Bai Mang saw Liu Tian's expression and felt both angry and depressed. She was angry that Liu Tian would slander herself like this, but she was also depressed because she still didn't know whether Xue Er was her own daughter or her granddaughter. Why did he always speak of himself in such a despicable way?

  "Besides, what's wrong with being carefree? Talking about character, he has character; talking about cultivation, he has cultivation; talking about ability, he has ability. And when it comes to reputation, doesn't Cold Cry's prestige seem to be above yours, Bai Mang?" Liu Tian began to scold Bai Mang.

  "Liu Lao, I didn't mean it that way. It's just that Xiangyang's personality is carefree, and I'm worried that in the future, Xue'er will be neglected." Bai Mang hurriedly explained.

  "Abandoned?" Liu Tian's voice suddenly became louder. His face revealed a look of anger as he said, "You still have the nerve to say this to me? Tell me, after Snow's mother married you, how did you treat her? From Snow's birth until now, how much time have you spent with her? You still have the nerve to say that?"

  Bai Mang saw Liu Tian was about to get angry, so he hastily retreated, saying as he walked away: "There's something going on in our army, Old Liu, you should rest first, we'll talk again tomorrow. We'll talk again tomorrow."

  Liu Lao saw Bai Mang's disheveled appearance and revealed a helpless expression on his face, with a hint of amusement in his tone: "This kid, every time he mentions this matter, runs faster than a beast."

  "Alas!" Liu Tian sighed, his eyes darting towards the military camp where Bai Xue lived. In his heart, he thought: "Miss, if you really choose that carefree kid, don't regret it later because he's a man of the same type as your father."

  Unfortunately, Leng Xiangyao had no idea what was happening behind him at this moment. He was riding a unicorn in the void, flying rapidly, half an hour later. The unicorn landed on a peak of a mountain range.

  "Boom! Boom! Boom!!" The ground shook with continuous explosions, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and the stench of blood occasionally wafted through the air.

  As soon as his feet touched the ground, he felt a surge of soul power rushing from beneath the mountain peak. Clusters of gray shadows seemed to have seen some rare treasure and rushed towards his forehead.

  "How many people have died in the battle below? There are so many souls. " Leng Xiao's heart was filled with shock, because he knew that every small gray bead the size of a thumb represented a life, and the soul power around him was not only tens of thousands, but dense and countless.

  Leng Xianyao didn't have a care in the world, and he didn't bother thinking about these issues. He directly sat down on the ground at the summit of the mountain, crossed his legs, and swiftly activated the Undying Golden Body Technique. He began to extract the Soul Power that had entered into his forehead.

  Always in the cold and carefree brain, that chaotic bead suddenly started to rotate, but the cold and carefree moment was depressed, because every time he extracted 100 units of soul power, unexpectedly 99 units were absorbed by the chaotic bead, leaving only one unit of soul power to reach his dantian. If he cultivates like this, when can he break through to the third layer of the copper body realm?

  "Huh?" Cold Xiao suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, although the power of the soul was absorbed by the Chaos Pearl, after being absorbed, a more refined and powerful soul energy surged out from within the Chaos Pearl into his Dantian. At this moment, the Chaos Pearl seemed like a refining machine. It continuously refined the soul energy extracted from Cold Xiao, and the original soul energy that had been refined to the extreme was now almost imperceptible to the naked eye after being refined again by the Chaos Pearl.

  "Terrible." Leng Xiao Yao suddenly became anxious, originally he still thought that the Hunyuan Pearl was competing for business. So he could absorb the surging soul power without any consideration, but when the Hunyuan Pearl was refined, the impure soul power in his dantian began to reject the refined soul power of the Hunyuan Pearl, one side wanting to enter and the other not allowing it. A struggle ensued in the dantian, while Leng Xiao Yao's meridians were still filled with unrefined soul power.

  "For crying out loud, you're all on the same side, what's with the stalemate?"

  Leng Xiao Yao's mind was anxious and he cursed, the spiritual power of the soul on the meridians saw that Leng Xiao Yao did not absorb them, they were like wild horses without reins, starting to run wildly in his body. Wherever they passed, the meridians in Leng Xiao Yao's body were torn apart one after another.

  And in the dantian, those two opposing forces of soul power seemed to disregard Cold Skye's anxiety. They remained locked together, mutually repelling each other.

  Leng Xiangyao's body surface skin was completely cracked open at this moment. Threads of fresh blood kept squeezing out of his skin, and Leng Xiangyao's facial features were almost squeezed together. However, the skin on his body surface continued to crack. Fresh blood continued to gush out, and in an instant, his entire body was stained red, looking like a dried-up corpse sitting there from afar.

  "Alas!" Leng Xiao Yao silently lamented in his heart, the pain in his body had long since numbed, perhaps due to excessive blood loss. At this moment, he already felt his mind growing cloudy and unclear. A drowsy feeling washed over him, but he knew that if he truly fell asleep, what awaited him would likely be death.

  The second update will be posted around 10 o'clock. There will also be a third update later on.
