Whoosh!
Within the formation, Wang Chong slowly withdrew his energy and his hands as he gave a long sigh. As the last bit of Brigadier General Saint Martial energy flowed into his body, Wang Chong felt the Stellar Energy in his body roil like a river. His cultivation rose from Saint Martial Tier 1 to Saint Martial Tier 2, and then it soared until it finally stopped at Saint Martial Tier 3.
"This shouldn't be the case. Just what sort of evil art is this?"
A weak voice, as thin as a mosquito's buzz, came from up ahead, tinged with the scent of death. Agudu Lan's body was thin and his hair was sparse, making him look like a mummy. Only a layer of skin remained on his body, giving him a terrifying appearance. But in this state, Agudu Lan was still alive, his eyes still fixed on Wang Chong.
"The Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, the number one evil art of the Central Plains!"
Wang Chong smiled as he stood up, fulfilling Agudu Lan's dying wish.
"Evil art, evil art … so that's how it is!"
Agudu Lan's eyes were dazed, and then the light in his eyes was extinguished like a candle in the wind. Bang! His body slumped to the ground.
"Congratulations to user for killing Agudu Lan and removing another major threat to Qixi. In addition, the Black Wolf Yabgu has died in battle, causing a major event that has changed the course of the Western Turkic Khaganate's history. User is rewarded with 2000 points of Destiny Energy!
"Congratulations to user! User has successfully saved the mission 'The Warhorses of the Tang Dynasty' and avoided the penalty for failure!"
At this moment, the Stone of Destiny's voice sounded in Wang Chong's mind. A smile appeared on Wang Chong's face. Killing Agudu Lan had given him 2000 points of Destiny Energy, and when added to the rewards from before, Wang Chong now had 4670 points of Destiny Energy.
This way, I can go to the Stone of Destiny to exchange for another batch!
Wang Chong thought to himself.
Along the way, Wang Chong had gradually discovered that in order to obtain a large amount of Destiny Energy, the best way was to kill some of the extremely powerful and important figures on the other side. These characters were often related to the fate of the other empires, and from there, they would receive huge rewards for changing history.
"I'll store these Destiny Energy points for now. When I need them in the future, I'll use them to exchange for some very important abilities."
Wang Chong thought.
After his battle with Dayan Mangpoje at the triangular gap, Wang Chong had spent a large amount of Destiny Energy to purchase the Karmic Battle Armor, and he was gradually beginning to taste the sweetness of the Stone of Destiny's rewards. The Stone of Destiny actually had some extremely powerful treasures that played a decisive role in battles between top-notch experts. However, these treasures often cost a lot of points to exchange, but everything was worth it. The more energy points spent, the more powerful the treasure.
"Elder Fang, Elder Du!"
Wang Chong turned his head and glanced at the two Chief Of Wushang. The two understood and began to form seals with their hands, unleashing waves of Stellar Energy. Rumble! The earth trembled as the dust around the Qixi Armory began to disperse. The ground was strewn with corpses and rivers of blood. Not even the darkness of night could conceal the thick stench of blood in the air.
"Marquis, the battle is over. All the Turks have been annihilated. Only four to five hundred managed to escape. We've also captured a few captives. May I ask what we should do next? "
Wang Chong had barely crossed the edge of the formation when a scout captain walked over, his body reeking of blood and spear in hand.
"Forget about those who escaped. There's no need to pursue them. As for the captives, bring them all back. In addition, inform everyone to withdraw. "
Wang Chong indifferently said.
He was still extremely satisfied with the results of this battle. Although the ground in front of the Qixi Armory was littered with corpses, the vast majority of them were Turks and the corpses of the giant wolves. The Wushang cavalry had suffered very few casualties, the majority of them only suffering light injuries.
"Marquis!"
The clopping of hooves could be heard as Xu Keyi rode over on a warhorse.
"The people of the Qixi Protectorate have heard the commotion and are rushing over. Should we go meet with them and hand over our duties?"
Wang Chong followed Xu Keyi's gaze and saw a faint glow of fire in the distance. The fire was moving toward them, accompanied by the clopping of hooves. After so long, the Qixi Protectorate had finally responded. Some people had come to investigate, but from the sound of hooves, not many people had come.
"Forget it. Now's not the time to meet. Inform everyone to quickly leave. As for the armory, there's no need to worry about it for now. Let them handle it. "
"Yes, Marquis!"
… …
Before the people of the Qixi Protectorate could arrive, Wang Chong and his five thousand Wushang cavalry had already left. Not long after they left, a fierce-looking general of the Qixi Protectorate arrived, accompanied by more than two thousand soldiers, torches in hand. The sight of the hellish scene in front of the Qixi Armory caused everyone to grimace. Some of them had long ago turned pale and seemed on the verge of vomiting.
"Too formidable! Look at the insignia on their bodies. Each of them has the image of a wolf's head. This is the insignia of the Turkic warriors. These are all true warriors!"
"If I remember correctly, these people should be the elites of the army, and only the legendary Black Wolf Yabgu can mobilize them. These fellows love ambushes, and the last time they were mobilized, more than a thousand people died in the estate, including quite a few of the generals skilled in battle. I didn't think that they would die here! "
"It's too tragic. Look at their wounds, and there's no second wound. Too powerful! Just who did this? This sort of fighting power is simply terrifying! "
"Fortunately, they came to help us. If they were with the Turks, we would have been dead long ago!"
… …
The sight of the Turks dying so wretchedly made everyone's hearts palpitate in fear. The blood flowing from these people was warm, and it seemed like they had all been slaughtered in a very short amount of time. This sort of fighting power was enough to make one's scalp go numb. Before this, none of them had dared to imagine that Qixi would have such a powerful army.
"Did you get a good look?"
In a place that no one was paying attention to, the fierce-faced Hu general of the Qixi Protectorate said in a low voice, a rather unsightly expression on his face.
"I didn't get a good look, but it's very similar to those people from the Wushang's City of Steel. In Qixi, only they have this sort of strength."
After a few moments of thought, he raised his head and probed, "Milord, they shouldn't be far away.
"Sir, they shouldn't be too far away. Should we chase after them?"
"There's no need!"
After a few moments of thought, the Hu general quickly shook his head.
"In Qixi, that person is a taboo. No one dares to recklessly approach him. It's best if we don't touch this misfortune. Let's quickly clean up this place. "
"Yes, Milord!"
… …
After traveling several hundred li, Wang Chong finally reached Wushang's City of Steel. It was already the Chou Period, and the world was dark and devoid of light. The City of Steel was also deathly still, everyone in a deep slumber. However, Steel Gate's gates were currently open. A charming figure dressed in snow-white clothes rode a large white horse, a smile on the corners of her lips, a sweet smile on her face, as if she was a fairy that descended into the world of mortals, silently waiting at the city gates.
"How was it? My plan wasn't bad, right?"
Seeing Wang Chong leading the way back, Xu Yi-qin's eyes flashed, and she immediately rode forward to greet him, her head slightly raised as she proudly spoke.
"Haha, of course. Don't you know who came up with this plan?"
Wang Chong couldn't help but laugh as he saw Xu Yi-qin's coquettish appearance. The two of them had a tacit understanding that the other was referring to the letter that had tricked Agudu Lan and the Yabgu. The letter truly was fake, but the contents were true. Wang Chong's second brother, Wang Bei, had truly been released from the Imperial Prison, and the Berserker Syndrome in his body had exploded on the street, causing him to crash into the carriage of a princess. However, Wang Bei had not killed the princess, nor had he caused a massive massacre. On the contrary, just as he was about to lose his mind, Wang Bei had suddenly controlled himself.
This had never happened before.
After this matter, Wang Bei had written him a letter, telling him that he would soon arrive in Wushang and help him conquer the Western Regions.
This was definitely the best news Wang Chong had heard in a while.
This letter had already reached Wang Chong's hands a few days ago, but it was later seen by Xu Yi-qin. She used it to confuse Agudu Lan, causing him to lower his guard and send out his troops in advance. Agudu Lan was truly cautious. Even though he had followed Wang Chong and discovered that he had left Qixi and Sand Pass, he had still sent a letter to investigate Wang Chong's second brother, Wang Bei.
Alas, as the devil grew a foot, the dao grew a zhang. No matter how formidable Agudu Lan was, he had still lost to Wang Chong and Xu Qiqin. In the end, he had died in Qixi Armory, all his cultivation going to Wang Chong.
"But don't be careless about this matter. Don't let it be like the triangular gap last time, where your credit was stolen. Make some preparations and write a memorial to the imperial court. We should at least get some credit. "
Xu Yi-qin said.
"Haha, you know that I don't really care about these things, but what you say is reasonable. I'll leave the memorial to you."
Wang Chong smiled and waved his hand behind him. The group quickly passed through the gate and entered the City of Steel.
Flapflap!
A few moments later, a messenger pigeon soared into the night sky, quickly vanishing in the direction of the capital.
… …
The night passed, and in the morning, Wang Chong had just finished a bowl of bird's nest porridge when the door to his room suddenly opened and a figure barged in.
"Marquis, something's happened!"
Xu Keyi shouted the moment he entered the room.
"What's wrong?"
