Chapter 61: Blood Debt Repaid in Blood

  "What's going on, still no news! It's been three days, and three thousand people have been searching along the river, but not a single person has been found alive or dead. A bunch of useless people!"

  In the Ling Gong Grand Hall of the Baihun Department, Hong Zongguan, who was sitting cross-legged and healing his wounds, suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.

  The usually high and mighty Da Ling Gong Bai Ce, the chief of the White Tiger Clan, was now as obedient as a grandson under the stern scolding of Hong Zong Guan.

  Especially with those injuries, it looks even more miserable.

  "Search, continue to search! We must find the person if they're alive, and their body if they're dead! Send out your tribe's Soul Warriors, step onto the surface of the Hun River and search. Don't you know how important this pillar of our nation is to us? How crucial it is?" Manager Hong bellowed.

  Upon hearing this command, the face of Bai Hun Department's Great Spirit Lord Bai Ce suddenly turned into a bitter gourd-like complexion, his voice filled with bitterness: "General Manager, our tribe currently has only ten soul warriors, and they have all been dispatched!"

  "You only have ten Soul Warriors in the White Army? Bai Ce, do you think I'm stupid or are you playing a trick on me?" Just as he was about to continue, General Hong's furious voice suddenly stopped, as if he had remembered something.

  The face of Da Ling Gong Bai Ce was even more bitter, and his voice almost carried a hint of sobbing: "Hong Zong Guan, on the day we attacked Ge Shan Department, our tribe's Soul Warriors suffered heavy losses. Later, Lin E that old thief burned the war soul and used the secret method to detonate the spiritual power...that scene..."

  As Da Ling Gong Bai Ce mentioned the scene three days ago, Hong Zong Guan and Bai Fei Bao's bodies trembled simultaneously, and the scene that seemed like a human hell appeared before their eyes once again.

  Bang!

  At the moment when Lin Ou's spiritual light reached its peak, it suddenly burst open.

  In this pre-dawn sky, there are fireworks-like most dazzling ones.

  But beneath the most dazzling fireworks, there is an indescribable fear that pervades countless people.

  Bai Ce and Bai Fei Bao's roars were completely drowned out by the deafening explosion of fireworks.

  Even among the Baihu people who were led by Baizhan and surrounded the altar, there were a few clever ones, but their cleverness only meant they would die half a breath later than the others.

  The terrifying spiritual force exploded directly in all directions, crushing everything in its path, whether it was trees, rocks or flesh and blood.

  After the dazzling fireworks, it's a ghostly realm that can drive people crazy!

  Those approaching White Bone warriors, even the White Bone Soul Warriors, turned into a rain of flesh in this instant, drifting and fluttering as they fell from the sky.

  At the moment Lin Ou exploded, Bai Ce could only pull Bai Fei Bao back tens of meters, and then enjoy the rain of flesh and blood drifting down from the sky, as if stunned...

  Looking at the scene of carnage and mutilation, General Hong couldn't help but shudder involuntarily.

  The next moment, the chief of the Bai Hun tribe, Bai Fei Bao, suddenly fell to the ground, clutching at the pieces of flesh that had fallen from the sky, and burst into loud wailing... among them were the blood and flesh of his son, relatives, and tribesmen...

  With Lin E's explosion, Bai Hun's troops, who had risen to attack Ge Shan's troops with all their might, lost more than 80%.

  With Lin Ou's explosion, he knew that the strength of Bai Hun's department had suddenly retreated for a hundred years. What was even more cruel was that the pillar of establishing a country, which he had been searching for with great difficulty, still hadn't fallen into his hands.

  At the moment he accepted this tragedy, Baili Zhige's half-black hair turned completely white in an instant, and in that instant, Baili Zhige aged several decades.

  At this moment, a thread of regret crept up Bai Ce's heart like poison, piercing his heart!

  "Lin E is such a scoundrel, ruining my good deed. I must...I must..." With great effort, General Hong shook his head and desperately tried to shake off the scene from three days ago that was like hell, wanting to curse but unable to utter any curses.

  Lin E died, and the entire Ge Shan department moved away, what else can he do?

  Silence, a silence as if dead.

  "Get me a horse ready, the national pillar has not arrived yet, I must hurry back as soon as possible and let the Duke make preparations early!" After a long silence, Hong Zongguan broke the silence first.

  As soon as these words came out, the faces of Bai Ce and Bai Fei Bao changed at the same time, because they heard the meaning of giving up from Hong Zongguan's words, the meaning of abandoning their White Army.

  "Hong Zongguan, we will dispatch more personnel to search for Li Guozhu with all our might. It is possible that he can be found. Please give us a little more time." White Flying Leopard urged.

  The clan leader Bai Fei Bao understood that once the one above gave up on them, the White Swirling Clan would truly have no hope left. From then on, they would have to struggle bitterly for survival like the eight White Swirling Clans of the past.

  Bai Ce's face was gloomy, it had been three days already, and the possibility of finding Jiang Cheng had become extremely slim.

  The most likely scenario is that Jiang Cheng was swallowed by the demonic beast in the Hun River and died directly in the river, and their long-planned national pillar also permanently fell into the Hun River.

  Although he understood the result, Bai Ce still rushed to General Hong and bowed his head: "General Hong, please give us a little more time!"

  Hong Zongguan also saw the meaning of the two, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, even if there is no Liguozhu or any further action in the future, Gong Ye will always need to rely on your White Tiger Troop."

  "Intensify the search, dead or alive, as soon as there's any news, notify me immediately!" With that, General Hong strode away with a painful expression.

  Lin E's self-explosion caused both him and Bai Ce to suffer non-trivial injuries.

  "Cough, cough......" Watching Director Hong leave, Bai Ce couldn't help but let out a light cough: "Fei Bao, continue searching, except for the injured, everyone else search outside. Also, those people who stayed in Ge Shan Department, have them keep a close watch."

  I guess if Jiang Cheng could make it ashore alive, after the storm passes, the first place he would go to must be Ge Mountain Sect.

  "Yes, grandpa!"

  Bai Fei Bao responded with a sound, then took big strides to walk out. As he was about to exit the door, his figure paused and asked: "Ling Gong, are... we wrong?"

  When he asked this question, Bai Fei's heart was bleeding.

  More than twenty Soul Warriors and thousands of brave warriors died in battle, but nothing was gained!

  Looking at the overall situation, it seems that the White Horde has become the biggest loser! Even the Geshan tribe was able to preserve most of its people.

  The old strategist Bai Ce let out a light sigh: "Regardless of right or wrong, what we can do now is to continue persevering! Some roads, once walked... cannot be turned back..."

  After the great war, at the ruins of Geshan Department, behind a stone wall that was burned and destroyed, more than 20 robust Baihun Department warriors were shivering with cold.

  Even with layer upon layer of animal hides from the Katsuragi clan wrapped around him, there was still little warmth on this bitterly cold and windy morning.

  "This damned weather is freezing people to death, Bai Tou, can't you start a fire?" A White Horde tribesman asked two of his relatively well-off clansmen while stomping his feet.

  That person is the leader of the Soul Warriors left behind by Bai Hun, and also one of the few remaining eight-layered Chong En Realm warriors in Bai Hun. Almost all of them are concentrated here.

  The river surface cannot be found, and the Baiguan Department can only focus on the Geshan Department.

  Bai Tou shook his head resolutely: "The clan leader has given a death order, if we can't find Jiang Cheng on the Hun River, then this place will be our tribe's last hope!"

  Two leaders refused, the Bai Hun tribe man sniffled, "That bastard, dead or alive, hurry up and show up, my place is full of ghosts with broken limbs, I won't last a day..."

  He had spoken halfway, and just as he turned his head to glance outside, he suddenly trembled violently, pointing at the figure that had suddenly appeared in the distance, and said with a trembling voice: "A person, a head, there's someone, someone has come!"

  The next moment, everyone suddenly stood up!

  Kashima village was left with only half of the altar, a young man with a backpack, covered in dust and dirt, was sorting through something, occasionally dragging out a recognizable corpse to one side.

  At that moment, a hunter from the White Horde suddenly couldn't help but exclaim: "It's him, it's him, I recognize him, this guy is Jiang Cheng!"

  More than twenty Bai Huang tribespeople suddenly revealed eyes of uncontainable surprise, never expecting that this guy who was related to the tribe's life and death would really be waited for by them.

  "What shall we do? Shall we immediately dispatch someone to inform the tribal elders and the spiritual leader?" a hunter suggested.

  "Reminder? Have you forgotten the order of Ling Gong? Moreover, going to the tribe and coming back, even if it's the fastest, will take at least a day. Who knows if this guy will leave halfway. The chief said that if we can't get the treasure on him, our White Horde will be completely finished from now on!"

  "What's going on? Are you going to besiege him? This guy has once joined forces with Ge Xiong to kill Xiao Ling Gong and crippled Feng Zhan Yuan!"

  "What's the big deal, it's just a warrior with seven layers of Qi! We now have four warriors with eight layers of Qi! Do you think the clan leader would put us four warriors with eight layers of Qi here to watch the wind?"

  After a few sentences of debate, these people suddenly had a decision!

  "Up! You guys surround and shoot arrows, we four will launch a close attack. We must take down this guy! For the tribe!"

  "For the tribe!"

  The moment the roar sounded, more than 20 figures rushed out from behind the stone wall and scattered in a surrounding manner to kill Jiang Cheng.

  Jiang Cheng's figure suddenly paused, and a low, inaudible murmur sounded: "A debt of blood should also be repaid with blood......"
