195: You idiots, all of you should be thrown into prison.

“Retreat!”

With a command, the Ninth Mountain Army sounded the gongs for retreat, and they mounted their horses with a clatter.

Horses neighed loudly, and one Black Armored Soldier after another, in the blurry rain, converged like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, their flags flying high, transforming into streaks of light that swiftly returned to their positions.

“Giddy up!”

“Giddy up!”

“Giddy up!”

“...”

The Ninth Mountain Army shouted loudly, transforming into lines of rain as they followed their This General away.

It seemed the horses neighed a bit more cheerfully!

At the Xiao Estate, the great formation was withdrawn, and the pouring rain fell with a rush, allowing everyone to escape from their suffocating state, taking a deep breath, their hearts churning.

That person, he was the Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General!

What a terrifying Aura!

With just one word, one glance, he made everyone tremble, and the six Heavenly Gate Devils that had been difficult to subdue were annihilated in an instant.

And the hundreds of Heavenly Gate Devils with their monstrous Devilish Qi actually submitted to his command.

At this moment, by a rockery, Xiao Qingzhi leaned against it, her lips stained with blood, her beautiful eyes staring blankly at the sky.

“Young Miss, Young Miss! Wuwu…”

A crying figure stumbled over, kneeling beside her Young Miss.

“It’s all my fault. If you hadn’t pushed me away, you wouldn’t have…”

As she spoke, the maid Xiao Jiu wiped her tears, anxiously checking her Young Miss’s injuries, only to find her Young Miss staring blankly at the sky.

Xiao Jiu knew what her Young Miss was thinking. Who could have imagined that the person her Young Miss was waiting for would appear in such a dramatic way?

That lord sat high in the clouds, and with a mere glance, he seemed to be able to control everyone’s fate.

“Young Miss, that person…”

The little maid hesitated, not finishing her sentence.

But the meaning was clear enough.

“Qingzhi!”

At this moment, a figure darted over. Xiao Yuanshan quickly helped up his youngest daughter, checked her injuries, then his expression darkened, and he quickly transferred True Qi to her.

The remaining two Heavenly Gate also quickly found their concubines and children, cursing the Heavenly Gate Devils.

However, at this moment, a gloomy voice startled everyone.

“A bunch of useless good-for-nothings!”

“You still have the mood to complain here.”

The Local General of the Guard, Gou Zhi, had a gloomy face.

Today, he had never been so humiliated.

First, he struggled to deal with the Heavenly Gate Devils, and then these idiots messed things up, making Ninth Zhonglang see this scene when he rushed back. Didn’t this clearly show his incompetence and loss of control over the situation?

Just now, before leaving, Chen Yuan had given him a deep look, a look that seemed to reflect a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, making his hair stand on end.

He felt killing intent, and at this moment, he also felt killing intent.

These guys simply didn’t understand who this Ninth Zhonglang was; he was someone who had just fought his way back from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood with the Sect Heavenly Gate!

What would this Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General think when he returned from fighting Heavenly Gate Devils outside and saw this scene?

Coupled with the fact that he was already under suspicion.

These guys should have immediately gone to apologize instead of cursing here, not knowing their place.

At this moment, his expression hardened, and he had already made up his mind. He closed his eyes, waved out a streak of light that shot outwards, then suddenly opened his eyes, his voice turning cold:

“Xiao Yuanshan!”

“Wang Tongming!”

“Zhang Kui!”

“And anyone who crashed the great formation today, all of you, to prison!”

“Await your judgment!”

As his words fell, the Xiao Estate immediately erupted in an uproar.

The faces of the two Heavenly Gate from the Zhang family and Wang family changed drastically, and they were about to speak, but Gou Zhi’s eyes sharpened:

“Shut up!”

“What else do you want to say? Do you want to see the heads of your two families roll? You can try.”

“Do you think what just happened is over? Idiots, it’s too late.”

If it weren’t for some lingering sentiment, Gou Zhi wouldn’t have said so much.

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Xiao Yuanshan and the other two with a ruthless intensity.

The three men’s eyes trembled.

They knew that this Zhonglang General, who had originally been on good terms with them, adopting this attitude meant that what they had just done was a big deal.

Their expressions struggled for a moment, but thinking of that overwhelming Aura, their faces quickly turned ashen.

Not long after, the sound of horses came from outside, and a team of Fu Gate soldiers arrived, rushing into the Xiao Estate.

At the Sky Patrol Division’s base, Heavenly Gate Devils roared, thundering onto the training ground, making the entire ground shake.

From the buildings, figures rushed out.

When they saw the Heavenly Gate Devils, their expressions first changed.

Subsequently, shouts arose from all directions, and disciples from the four Sects came forward to greet them.

“Master!”

“Senior Martial Uncle!”

“...”

Chen Yuan and the eight Heavenly Gate descended from the Heavenly Gate Devils.

Chen Yuan whispered, and the leading Bo, from his body, black and white Qi swirled out, encircling him, his body shrinking, and then he was put into Chen Yuan’s sleeve.

The other Heavenly Gate Devils, however, all prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling, completely losing their ferocious demeanor.

“Summon the messenger soldier!”

Chen Yuan summoned a stationed soldier, gave a command, and then called the eight Heavenly Gate into his private courtyard for a meeting, acting decisively.

Soon, in the main hall of the private courtyard, Chen Yuan sat in the main seat, while the other eight sat on either side, all looking tired, but each with an unconcealable excitement in their eyes.

Yes, it was excitement!

A moment later, footsteps were heard from outside.

The messenger soldier, with a red banner on his back, walked in quickly and bowed.

“Your subordinate greets This General!”

“What are This General’s orders?”

“Send a message to Fushi. I’ll dictate, you write.”

“Yes!”

The messenger soldier took out a blank scroll, faintly glowing, from his sleeve, unfurled it in front of him, then pulled out a white jade brush, its tip with a subtle True Qi surging, fluctuating.

Chen Yuan, at this moment, had bright eyes, carefully considered his words, then spoke in a straightforward tone:

“The night before last, This General led Qingyangzi and Daoist Li to break through five counties, confronting the Weiyuan Prefecture Heavenly Gate Devils.”

“The Three Junior General brought the Su Nu Sword Sect… to join us, slaying five more Heavenly Gate, with the remaining three Heavenly Gate Devils fleeing to Weiyuan Prefecture… So, our nine turned to the Southwest, encircled with Chishui Prefecture, and recaptured the four Southwest counties. Now, the east and north sides of Weiyuan, nine counties, have been cleared. For the next step, please Fushi make a decision!”

Chen Yuan briefly explained the battles of the past three days. Last night, they pursued the six fleeing Heavenly Gate Devils, slaying two, capturing one, and the remaining three fled into Weiyuan Prefecture with their Demon Soldiers. Because Weiyuan City was behind, near the Ten Thousand Mountains, Chen Yuan, to be safe, did not go deep, but instead, with the eight, turned towards Chishui Prefecture, passing through several counties on the way. Because the Demon Soldiers in several counties had been transferred, it didn’t take much effort.

In summary, these three days, the process was complicated, and the fighting was a mess.

There were still many loose ends that hadn’t been addressed.

The rest would be for the subordinate army to move out and carry out the mopping-up operation.

However, as Chen Yuan calmly recounted, the messenger soldier listened with bated breath.

The This General had, without a sound, led several Sect Heavenly Gate experts to clear the ten counties outside Weiyuan Prefecture.

He quickly used the Sky Patrol Division’s cipher to rapidly write down this information.

Then, he bowed and stepped forward, respectfully presenting the completed secret letter with both hands.

“This General, please review it!”

Chen Yuan took it, quickly scanned it, nodded, and folded it up.

“Send it out!”

“Yes, your subordinate will depart now!”

As he spoke, the messenger soldier stepped back a few paces, then quickly turned and left the private courtyard.

Not long after, a familiar eagle cry.

A silver light shot up into the sky from the Guang’an Prefecture Sky Patrol Division’s base, heading straight north!

And at this moment, as the first wave of refugees entered Guang’an Prefecture, Guang’an Prefecture erupted in a frenzy.
