Ling Tian responded with an 'oh', as though he was not bothered by the 30,000 strong army in front of him. With a warm smile on his face, he looked towards Ling Nineteen and the other three, "It has been hard on the four of you for the past few years."
Ling Nineteen suddenly felt a sour feeling in his heart. As an iron-blooded man who survived a hundred deaths, hot tears almost flowed out of his eyes. Lowering his head, he suppressed the tears and tried his best to speak calmly, "Thank you young noble for your concern. It's nothing much. " While he tried his best to control his emotions, his voice still trembled slightly, revealing his emotional state. Looking at Ling Twenty, Ling Twenty-one, and Ling Twenty-two who were surrounding Ling Tian, their eyes also turned red as they lowered their heads.
A man does not cry easily, because it is not the time for him to be emotional!
A full three years! The four of them had been by Ling Xiao's side for so long and had experienced more than a hundred battles. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they had survived a hundred deaths! These iron-blooded and kind-hearted men were far away from their brothers. They faced the yellow sand and green grass, and the scorching sun in the sky all day long. Before their eyes, there was blood flowing everywhere, and bones and flesh flying everywhere. The hardships and tiredness they had suffered were truly uncountable. However, all of his hardships had vanished into thin air with this simple greeting from Ling Tian. It was as though a warm current had flowed through his heart and everything was as light as a breeze. The only thing he felt in his heart was gratification, satisfaction, and worth! It was truly worth it!
Ling Jian could also see the excitement of the four of them and walked up with a smile. Patting their shoulders, he praised, "Good job! You are indeed the brothers of I, Ling Jian! You are indeed the brothers of young noble! "
"Brother Jian!" The four of them could no longer hold it in and hot tears flowed down their cheeks.
Ling Tian let out a satisfied smile and said, "In these three years, the four of you have indeed gone through a thousand trials and tribulations. My father's military career in Sky Bearing has also come to an end. The four of you can return to the Courtyard and serve under Ling Jian. With the strength you have accumulated through the bloody battles, there is no harm in joining the First Pavilion!"
Ling Tian's words not only affirmed the achievements of Ling Nineteen and the others, but also acknowledged their strength. The First Pavilion now had four more murderous gods! Furthermore, they were the true iron men of the army who had been honed through countless battles! While the First Pavilion's reputation had spread throughout Heavenly Star, the main assassins of the First Pavilion, Ling Jian, Ling Chi, and the other five. While Ling Chen was familiar with the operations of the First Pavilion, she was not from the First Pavilion.. Now that Ling Nineteen and the other three had joined them, their strength would definitely increase!
Ling Jian, Ling Chi, and the others were all overjoyed, surrounding Ling Nineteen and the others to congratulate them. The joy in their hearts was beyond words. As Ling Nineteen and the others heard this, they were so elated that they could not move. It was as though they had turned silly and their mouths were wide open.
Ling Tian smiled and said, "Why? Are you not willing? " As he said that, he shook his head and sighed, "Since you guys are not willing, then I can only take back my orders …"
"No, we are willing! Young noble, we are willing! "Ling Nineteen knelt down in joy," Thank you, young noble! " He knew that when Ling Tian said that they would serve under Ling Jian, it meant that they would be on the same level as Ling Tian and the others, the trusted aides of Ling Chi! Regardless of whether it was their martial arts, trust, or anything else, they would definitely receive a huge boost! To these people who thirsted for strength, this was akin to a huge meat pie falling from the sky! The wonderful feeling was not something that could be described with words. How could they not be happy and excited?
"Young noble …" Ling Jian had a face full of desire as he stretched out his hand towards Ling Tian. "You wouldn't be favoring one over the other, right? That medicine … "
Ling Tian glared at him unhappily. "You know how to be considerate of them, but do you think this young noble doesn't know that? No matter what, we have to go back first. Where would we find the time to raise their cultivation? Can't you see that their blood vessels are not intact at all? If they were to eat it now, their inner Qi would swell and their blood would flow out along with their blood vessels. Are you doing this for their own good or are you trying to take their lives? Hm? "
Ling Jian laughed embarrassedly and scratched his head as he said softly, "Aren't I also anxious …"
Ling Tian glared at him fiercely. "Aren't I even more anxious than you?! You don't seem to have a brain! "
Ling Nineteen and the other three naturally did not know what the two of them were talking about and stared at them in confusion. However, when he saw Ling Chi, Ling Feng, and Ling Yun winking at him, he became even more confused, not knowing what was going on.
Ling Nineteen suddenly thought of the situation they were in and said worriedly, "Young noble, let's wait until we are out of danger before we talk about it. Right now, we have to think of a way to get rid of those three pieces of trash and barge into the Soul Extinguishing Pass to block the entrance to Swallow County! However, with our current strength, it is truly difficult. I have an idea. Why don't we sneak in secretly and kill those three pieces of trash? After that, we can work together from the inside and the outside to rush in. However, this method is much more risky and will take a long time. Our pursuers are getting closer and we might not have enough time. Thus, we cannot delay any longer and have to make a decision as soon as possible. "
Ling Tian and Ling Jian looked at each other and smiled. Ling Jian said, "Nineteen, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore. Young noble has his own plans."
When Ling Nineteen heard Ling Jian say that Ling Tian had other plans, he subconsciously looked at Ling Tian with a questioning gaze.
Ling Tian nodded his head slightly and did not reply. Instead, he looked at the pass through the darkness of the night. From the moment he entered the battle formation to the moment he broke out of the encirclement, a full six hours had passed! The monastery's troops were just one step ahead and one step behind. Even if they needed to organize the troops and prepare their equipment, these things had already been prepared beforehand. They could move together with the army at any time. If Feng Mo and the rest were not able to arrive by now, it would be too inexcusable!
Just as he was deep in thought, flames suddenly shot up into the sky from the direction of Swallow County and intense battle cries could be heard!
Indeed, the Courtyard's troops did not disappoint Ling Tian. They had arrived in time! Ling Tian could imagine that his elite troops did not even have time to rest before they started fighting!
Ling Tian mounted his horse and shouted, "Charge! Work together from the inside and outside and kill our way into the Soul Extinguishing Pass and occupy Swallow County! Then we will have a showdown with the Northern Wei and Western Han! Our army will win and we will be invincible! "Seeing the flames in Swallow County and the battle cries shaking the sky, the Ling army that had only rested for a short while was reinvigorated! Everyone knew that as long as they could return to Swallow County and defend the Soul Extinguishing Pass, their troops would be completely safe! Under the instigation of the strong desire to live, the remaining ten thousand soldiers all roared and charged forward!
The gates of the Soul Extinguishing Pass suddenly opened and a group of soldiers rushed out in a neat formation. Everyone held their swords and stood solemnly. A burly man rode out on his horse and saw Ling Tian and the rest coming over. He immediately got off his horse and knelt on the ground, "Your subordinate Wang Han welcomes the Marshal and Young Master into the pass!"
The three troops shouted in unison, "Welcome the Marshal and Young Master into the pass!"
Ling Tian smiled and jumped off his horse. He helped Wang Han up and patted his shoulder, "You have worked hard!" He waved his hand and shouted, "Enter the pass!"
The remaining soldiers came back alive after nine deaths. Everyone was excited and puffed out their chests like heroes who had returned victorious. They slowly entered the Soul Extinguishing Pass under the warm welcome of the crowd! However, it would still take some time for ten thousand people to enter the city.
At this moment, the thunderous sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer! The pursuers were here!
Wang Han jumped up and got on his horse. His bearded lips curled into a sinister smile, "I will block the pursuers for Young Master!"
"Block the pursuers for Young Master!" Wang Han's three thousand men shouted in unison. They were full of fighting spirit!
Han TieXuan kept urging the troops to march forward. He was afraid that they would miss the opportunity to attack from afar! Finally, he saw that the pursuers were stopped outside the Soul Extinguishing Pass. He could not help but be overjoyed! He almost laughed out loud, "Ling Xiao! Let's see where you can run to now! Today will be your doomsday! "
The smile of pleasant surprise on his face suddenly froze! He was tongue-tied and his eyes were filled with disbelief! Because the gates of the Soul Extinguishing Pass were suddenly opened and Ling Xiao's troops were respectfully welcomed in!
Han TieXuan was tongue-tied for a long time before he finally regained his breath! Seeing that his enemy had escaped from danger, Han TieXuan was so angry that he almost vomited blood!
On the other side, in the shadows, there was clearly an elite troop waiting in formation!
Since things had already come to this, there was nothing he could do. Han TieXuan let out a long sigh and raised the blade in his hand, giving out the order for his troops to set up camp! While he was unwilling to give up just like that, the situation in front of him was no longer something that he could do as he wished! At the very least, before the Northern Wei troops arrived, he could not act rashly! In front of him was a sturdy city, one that he had never been able to take down before!
Furthermore, Han TieXuan had a suspicion in his heart. Why did the Soul Extinguishing Pass allow Ling Xiao to enter so easily? Could it be that the pincer attack on Ling Xiao by the three empires was just a ploy by Sky Bearing to lure the enemy out? Suddenly thinking about how Ling Xiao was able to escape from the encirclement of close to five hundred thousand troops, Han TieXuan's heart trembled and he felt a chill run down his spine. Could it be that the Northern Wei was colluding with Sky Bearing to deal with our Western Han? That would be bad. However, to use over a hundred thousand lives to set up such a trap, wasn't the price too high? Just who was the one scheming against whom?! Just what was going on?
In that moment, Han TieXuan did not know how many unimaginable thoughts flashed through his mind. He only felt that his heart was in a mess and he did not have a single clue!
Within the Soul Extinguishing Pass, it was a mess! The wounds on the bodies of the experienced soldiers of the Ling Army were so severe that even the experienced physicians could not help but be shocked! All of the physicians had already gathered here, but they were still far from being able to satisfy the needs of the injured soldiers! A total of over ten thousand Ling soldiers had returned alive, and not a single one of them was unscathed. Their injuries were definitely not light! An old physician who had followed the army for many years let out a long sigh, saying that he had been in the army for many years and had experienced many intense battles. However, this was the first time he had seen such a bitter battle! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters.
