Not long after the four elders left, Chief Song He also returned and reported the situation to Ji Tianxing.
He looked travel-worn and was in a sorry state. The bloodstains on his body had yet to dry.
When he reported the situation to Ji Tianxing, he also had an awkward expression.
"Reporting to Lord Kenshin, I've found out that there are close to five hundred scouts and spies within a radius of a hundred thousand miles outside the grotto-heaven.
Even though my subordinates and two thousand disciples tried our best to capture and kill those scouts and spies, they were simply too alert. When they saw that the situation wasn't good, they scattered and escaped.
In the end, my subordinates and disciples only killed over two hundred and captured over thirty.
The remaining two hundred or so scouts and informants all scattered and fled.
However, I've already sent the disciples who are best at tracking to follow two batches of people … "
No wonder Chief Song He felt awkward and didn't have the face to face Ji Tianxing.
From what he said, if Ji Tianxing insisted on capturing the escaping assassins of the Hidden Death Squad, he would also lead his troops to chase after them.
However, all of this was within Ji Tianxing's expectations.
Ji Tianxing didn't blame him and just waved his hand. "Those scouts and spies should be the elite assassins of the Hidden Death Squad under Commander Minghe.
They don't participate in head-on battles and are best at hiding, assassinating, and gathering information.
Unless I make a move personally, none of you will be able to catch all of them in one fell swoop.
Alright, you don't have to blame yourself. Quickly arrange for the disciples to rest and heal their injuries.
The captured assassins have to be guarded strictly and don't let them commit suicide.
When you're done with the affairs of the clan, arrange for people to interrogate those assassins and see if you can get any useful information. "
Chief Song He was still worried and hesitated for a moment before asking, "But, Lord Kenshin … those assassins of the Hidden Death Squad might leak the information if they escape back to Youdu."
Ji Tianxing said with an indifferent expression, "Marshal Blood Prison was killed and the army of eighteen thousand was wiped out. This news was supposed to be released so that the entire Reincarnation Island would know.
Other than that, what information could those assassins of the Hidden Death Squad leak?
They did not enter the Ancient Pine Paradise, nor did they enter the great array, so they did not see me. "
Seeing that Ji Tianxing did not mind this matter and that what he said made sense, Patriarch Song He felt relieved and relaxed.
He bowed to Ji Tianxing, then took his leave.
Next, he not only had to arrange for the injured soldiers to go back and treat their wounds, but he also had to send people to watch over the captives and interrogate them with torture.
Most importantly, Ancient Pine Paradise's great defensive array had been blasted open by the Blood Hell Marshal's army. It had to be repaired as soon as possible.
In order to repair the formation, Patriarch Song He had to do it himself. Many elders, deacons, and disciples had to work together.
In everyone's opinion, the Kenshin side had obtained a complete victory in this battle, wiping out the Blood Hell Marshal's army.
As the main force, the Pine Crane race naturally achieved the greatest merit and obtained the greatest honor.
However, in reality, the Pine Crane Race had also paid an enormous price for this.
Of the four thousand soldiers who survived, more than one thousand four hundred were captives who had surrendered. Only about two thousand eight hundred were disciples of the Pine Crane Tribe.
In other words, the Pine Crane race had already lost 1,200 disciples in the previous two battles!
These two battles were only the beginning of the Rebel Alliance's conquest of Reincarnation Island.
There would definitely be many more battles in the next few months.
Patriarch Song He did not know how many more Pine Crane disciples would have to be sacrificed.
However, since he had made the choice to follow the Kenshin against the Styx Marshal and the Blood Hell Marshal.
No matter how great the price he had to pay or how many disciples he had to sacrifice, he would walk down this path unswervingly!
…
A day later, Ancient Pine Paradise returned to peace.
The four elders in charge of counting the spoils of war finally completed their task with the help of dozens of disciples.
Cultivation resources worth hundreds of trillion were placed in dozens of spatial rings and presented to Ji Tianxing.
Ji Tianxing temporarily accepted these spoils of war, but he had no intention of using them.
He planned to keep these spoils of war and distribute them to the five clans according to their merits after the battle.
At this time, the Pine Crane disciples and the captives who were more seriously injured entered a state of healing.
Patriarch Song He did not have time to heal his injuries. He quickly gathered a few elders and ten attendants who were less seriously injured. He led thousands of disciples and began to repair the defense formation of the paradise.
In addition, there were two elders and eight attendants who were in charge of guarding and interrogating the dozens of captured assassins of the Hidden Death Group.
The news that the Blood Prison Marshal had been beheaded, and the eighteen thousand soldiers and four thousand soldiers that had been temporarily gathered had all been killed in the Ancient Pine Paradise had also been released by the five clans.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. There was nothing for Ji Tianxing to worry about.
He stayed in a quiet house and meditated for an entire day.
Seeing that Patriarch Song He had taken care of all the affairs, he entered the Jiutian Ten Absolutes Pagoda at ease and went to the distorted space to cultivate.
He first checked the Blood Hell Marshal's spatial ring and sorted out the cultivation resources and wealth inside.
Next, he spent a few days refining the fragments of the Blood Hell Marshal's godhead and absorbing his memories.
Speaking of which, the two Pine Crane elders had interrogated the dozens of assassins of the Hidden Death Group through torture. He had obtained more secrets from refining the fragments of the Blood Hell Marshal's godhead.
As one of the people in power on Reincarnation Island, the Blood Hell Marshal knew it like the back of his hand.
After Ji Tianxing refined his memories, not only did he obtain a lot of confidential information, but all the doubts he had before had also completely disappeared.
Even the plan that Commander Minghe and the Blood Hell Marshal had agreed on, the military strength, and the situation of the defenses in Youdu were all clear to Ji Tianxing.
After all, Commander Minghe was in charge of Youdu and was mainly in charge of commanding.
As for the deployment of military strength, the Blood Hell Marshal was always in charge.
In this way, Ji Tianxing knew which parts of Youdu's defenses were strong, which parts were weak, and where there were ambushes!
Other than that, he also knew some secrets about the God Of The Underworld through the Blood Hell Marshal's memories.
Of course, the Blood Hell Marshal was a valiant general that the God Of The Underworld trusted and thought highly of, which was why he was allowed to guard Reincarnation Island.
However, the Blood Hell Marshal knew very little about the enigma of the gray fog in the outer realm.
Even in the past thousand years, the Blood Hell Marshal had been curious about those secrets and had also asked the God Of The Underworld.
However, the God Of The Underworld only gave a simple explanation and emphasized the importance of the mystery of the gray fog. He didn't reveal the real secrets.
In comparison, the Blood Hell Marshal's understanding of the mystery of the gray fog was actually less than that of Ji Tianxing.
