In the Commander's Palace at Tianshi Pass, the lights were still on in the meeting hall.
Lu Baishuang was sitting on the coach's throne, holding her cheek with her hands and closing her eyes to relax.
Ever since Ji Tianxing led the army on the expedition, she has been waiting here for news.
The guards guarding the entrance of the hall looked down the mountain from time to time, looking forward to the triumphant return of the army from outside the pass.
Time passed quietly and the sky became brighter and brighter.
Finally, when a hint of fish belly white appeared on the sky, a messenger guard quickly ran into the hall.
"Lord Holy Emperor, good news! Good news!!"
As soon as the young messenger guard rushed into the hall, he cheered happily, with indescribable excitement and excitement in his tone.
The tranquility of the main hall was broken.
Lu Baishuang suddenly opened her eyes, looked at the messenger guard with burning eyes, and asked in a majestic tone: "Did our army win? How is the battle situation? Report it quickly!"
The messenger guard knelt down respectfully and reported in a sonorous tone: "Reporting to the Holy Emperor, our army has won a great victory and recaptured the Manchuan Valley in one fell swoop!
Our army only killed more than 60,000 people in battle, but annihilated more than 400,000 demon soldiers, leaving only a dozen or so to escape.
Generals Zhao and Chen led 200,000 elite troops to guard Manchuan Valley and handle subsequent defense matters.
The other three generals have already led the army and will be dispatched soon!"
Hearing such a perfect battle report, Lu Baishuang couldn't believe it. She stood up with excitement.
"Great! A great victory in Manchuan Valley. This is definitely the final blow to defeat the demon army!
Ji Tianxing did not disappoint me, he actually achieved such amazing achievements and won so beautifully!
The emperor wants to leave the customs in person to welcome the soldiers back in triumph!"
As her words fell, the guards in the hall knelt down and saluted, shouting congratulations to the Holy Emperor, God bless the White Frost Empire, etc.
…
When the morning sun first rose, Lu Baishuang, dressed in rich attire and the Holy Emperor's phoenix crown, led a mighty guard of honor to the outside of Tianshi Pass.
She sat on the exquisite and luxurious phoenix chariot, looking to the north with a smile, waiting for the soldiers to return in triumph.
On the ground in front of the phoenix chariot, there were more than a dozen white jade tables with rows of wine bottles arranged on them.
Each wine bottle is filled with jade liquid wine. This is a reward for the meritorious soldiers!
About half an hour later, a muffled sound of "rumbling" sounded from the mountains outside the pass.
A mighty army, carrying billowing smoke and dust, galloped from the north.
This army numbered one hundred thousand, and its general was none other than Xie Wen.
At the rear of this army were more than 90,000 soldiers led by Zhong Lin.
Walking at the end were more than 80,000 elite soldiers led by another general.
Although these three armies all looked tired and covered in blood and dust.
But the flag of the army was fluttering, the soldiers were enthusiastic and their morale was like a rainbow.
The army came to Tianshi Pass one after another. When they saw Lu Baishuang's guard of honor, they all knelt down and saluted.
Lu Baishuang stood up and commended the soldiers.
Afterwards, the three generals and dozens of commanders came to the phoenix chariot one after another and drank the celebratory wine given by Lu Baishuang.
Lu Baishuang also announced in public that he would reward every meritorious official and every soldier who participated in the war.
The joyful and lively atmosphere lasted for half an hour.
Finally, the three armies returned to Tianshi Pass one after another to rest and adjust their breathing.
Only Xie Wen and Zhong Lin were left, and they came to Lu Baishuang's side to report the details of last night's battle.
After Lu Baishuang heard this, he frowned and asked doubtfully: "Since we have won a complete victory and the army has been mobilized, why didn't Deputy Commander Ji come back with you?"
Xie Wen and Zhong Lin were stunned for a moment, their expressions a little embarrassed.
"For the record, Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, since the beginning of the war, the last general has not seen Deputy Commander Ji."
"Deputy Commander Ji sneaked into Manchuan Valley alone to create chaos, triggering a devastating explosion that destroyed hundreds of miles in radius.
Because of this, the general and the others successfully entered the Manchuan Valley.
However, Deputy Commander Ji is nowhere to be seen...maybe he has other plans and plans?"
Lu Baishuang's expression changed, her eyes dimmed, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.
"An explosion occurred in Manchuan Valley, destroying a radius of hundreds of miles and killing hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers?
So, this was Deputy Commander Ji's doing...but why was he missing?
Have you carefully cleaned the battlefield? Why don't you search for Ji Tianxing's whereabouts?!"
"This..." Xie Wen and Zhong Lin were immediately speechless. After hesitating for a moment, they opened their mouths to explain.
"The general has always believed that Deputy Commander Ji is strong and will definitely not be in danger."
"Lord Holy Emperor, please be patient. You must also believe in Deputy Commander Ji. With his strength, who can hurt him?
He will definitely return safely, maybe he was just delayed by something."
Xie Wen and Zhong Lin tried to comfort him, but it didn't work.
Lu Baishuang's expression became more solemn. After thinking for a moment, he ordered in a deep voice: "You two, return to Manchuan Valley immediately and find Ji Tianxing no matter what!"
"This..." Xie Wen and Zhong Lin both looked confused, feeling strange in their hearts.
"The Holy Emperor is worried about Deputy Commander Ji's safety. This is human nature, but isn't she too nervous?"
"With the strength of Deputy Commander Ji, he will definitely be safe and sound. Why should the Holy Emperor be in a hurry? Why not wait a little longer?"
Of course, the two of them could only think about these words in their hearts and did not dare to say them out loud.
They both felt that Lu Baishuang seemed to care too much about Ji Tianxing.
"What? You don't want to go?" Seeing that they were silent, Lu Baishuang shouted coldly and with a majestic tone: "Then I will go find him myself!"
After saying that, she waved her robe sleeves expressionlessly, and her figure flew into the sky in a flash.
"Lord Holy Emperor!"
"Lord Holy Emperor, please calm down!"
Xie Wen and Zhong Lin quickly chased after them, but were quickly thrown away by Lu Baishuang.
Lu Baishuang was anxious and worried about Ji Tianxing's safety, so she hurried on with all her strength.
She flew with graceful steps, moving ten miles away with every step she took, and her figure kept flashing in the sky.
Just an hour later, she arrived in the sky above Manchuan Valley.
I saw that in the messy Manchuan Valley, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were busy cleaning the battlefield and rebuilding fortifications.
The abyss with a radius of hundreds of miles in the middle is the most eye-catching and shocking.
Lu Baishuang stared at the abyss for a while, then frowned, a flash of deep worry in his eyes.
"It's the aura of a strong Demon Saint! Only a strong person in the Demon Saint realm can cause such horrific destruction!
Ji Tianxing must have fought against the Demon Saint to leave these traces and aura!
Even though he has outstanding talents and strong strength, he is too young, so this time it is likely that he will be in trouble..."
When she thought of this, Lu Baishuang's face became more and more ugly, and her heart became more and more anxious and worried.
She quickly released her consciousness, covering the entire Manchuan Valley, and meticulously searched for Ji Tianxing's aura.
