The four of them quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain. At this moment, the foot of the mountain had completely turned into a huge lake. Corpses floated on the surface of the lake without any gaps.
Nie Han and the Chu couple were furious when they saw this scene. Lu An's expression was also very solemn. He frowned and leaped onto the surface of the lake.
He quickly stepped on the corpses on the surface of the lake, trying to find if there were any survivors. However, even if he ran to the other side of the lake, he did not find any survivors at all.
There were not just one layer of corpses floating on the surface of the lake, but many layers. Lu An's entire body tensed up when he saw this scene.
Nie Han and the Chu couple looked at the entire lake and trembled. There was no doubt that everyone in the garrison had been wiped out. Not a single person was left alive. They never expected that they, who thought that they had participated in a difficult mission, would be the only four people who survived.
Soon, Lu An returned to the three of them and said in a deep voice, "Although the enemy has broken through here, they probably won't head for the city. However, to be careful, we should still hurry to the city and pass on the news. If this place is lost, it won't be good if the enemy bypasses the city and encircles the other garrisons. "
Hearing Lu An's words, the three of them trembled and looked at Lu An in shock. They knew that Lu An was right, but they could not believe that a young man could be so calm in such a situation.
"You … don't you feel it?" Nie Han's voice was completely stiff as he asked with a trembling voice.
"Yes, but what's next is more important," Lu An said. "It's over now. We have to hurry up and do what's next."
The three of them trembled again when they heard that. They gradually took a deep breath when they heard Lu An's words. Nie Han nodded and said, "Lu An is right. Let's rush back to Guangyu City immediately and tell them about the situation here!"
"Okay!"
However, just as the four of them were about to leave, Lu An's eyes suddenly focused and he turned to look in a certain direction. Lu An's actions also caused the other three to be stunned.
"What's wrong?" Nie Han asked.
Lu An didn't answer. Instead, he rushed out and arrived in front of a big rock on the side of the mountain. The boulder looked ordinary, but Lu An had blasted it away with a single punch!
After the explosion, the bodies of the three people who followed behind also shook. The person inside was none other than Liu Huairen!
"Brother Liu!" Nie Han was overjoyed and hurried to Liu Huairen's side. At this time, Liu Huairen's face was very weak, but when he heard someone's voice, he still tried to open his eyes.
"Brother Nie …" Liu Huairen said weakly.
"Quick, take the pill!" Nie Han quickly took out a pill and fed it to Liu Huairen. If an ordinary person ate this pill, they would quickly recover.
"Don't waste time here," Lu An said in a deep voice. "Let's hurry to Guang Yu City."

Early in the morning, in Guangyu City.
By the time the five of them arrived at Guang Yu City, the sky was already bright. After the five of them reported what had happened, they immediately attracted attention and were received by Guang Yu City's City Lord and the garrison leader.
In the main hall, Liu Huairen and the other four sat in their seats and waited. After a while, the City Lord and the General arrived. The City Lord was a level three Celestial Master, but the General of the garrison was a level five Celestial Master. There were a total of four garrisons outside Guang Yu City, and Liu Huairen was only in charge of one of them. After learning of the incident, the General sat beside the City Lord with a gloomy face.
"What exactly happened?" the General looked at Liu Huairen and the other four and asked coldly.
Liu Huairen got up and recounted what happened last night in full detail. After hearing it, the City Lord and the General's faces turned gloomy. The annihilation of an entire garrison wasn't a small matter. Not only did it increase the pressure on the other three garrisons, but more importantly, it opened up a gap.
"How did this happen? Why didn't anything happen to the other garrisons, but yours?! " The General slammed the table and shouted, "A bunch of trash. You can't even defend well. What else can you do?!"
Hearing the General's words, Liu Huairen, Nie Han, and the Chu couple's faces turned gloomy. However, because the other party was a General and a level five Celestial Master, Liu Huairen didn't flare up. He only gritted his teeth and said, "General, a total of seventy thousand people and the Celestial Master Camp died for the Shangqi Kingdom. Many of them were allied troops from other countries. Isn't the General's words chilling?"
"Chilling? Am I wrong? " The General slammed the table again and stood up. He pointed at Liu Huairen and scolded loudly, "It's already very difficult to defend, and you're still causing trouble for me. Now that the garrison is gone, tell me what to do? Withdraw the troops or transfer them? "
Hearing this, Liu Huairen's face turned gloomy. Withdrawing the troops meant that the line of defense here would disappear. Moreover, this was a decision that even the General couldn't make. He had to report it to the higher-ups. If he transferred people from the other garrisons, the other lines of defense would collapse immediately. Therefore, there was only one solution.
"General, why don't you transfer the garrison of Guang Yu City over?" Liu Huairen said loudly, "There are three hundred thousand troops stationed in Guang Yu City. They haven't moved since the start of the war, and there has never been a battle. So what if you transfer a hundred thousand troops there?"
"Nonsense!" The City Lord suddenly pointed at Nie Han and said hurriedly, "If you transfer people from here, what about Guang Yu City? Are two hundred thousand enough to defend? If this place is lost, what … what should I do?! "
Liu Huairen's face darkened and he shouted, "City Lord, this is a time of war. Countless people have died. Do we have to worry about our own safety in order to win the war? If the gap in the garrison is not blocked, our backyard will be on fire! "
"I said no means no!" The City Lord hurriedly waved his hand and said in a panic, "No one can transfer people from here!"
"Is that so?" Liu Huairen sneered and said, "As far as I know, the army during the war is not under your control, right?"
With that, Liu Huairen turned to look at the General. Now that all the troops and the Heavenly Master Battalion were under the General's command, this General had the final say.
However, the General's face darkened and he said, "No!"
Liu Huairen was stunned and immediately took a step forward and asked, "Why?!"
"No means no. Why are you asking so many questions?!" The General shouted, "I am your superior. You only need to listen to my orders. Do you want to disobey military orders?"
"But …"
"No buts!" The General shouted, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will sentence you to disturbing the morale of the army and punish you according to military law!"
"…"
Liu Huairen looked at the General angrily. It was obvious that this General was in cahoots with the City Lord and was also a person who was afraid of death. If someone really came, he would definitely let others go first and then slip away. Some level five Heavenly Masters cherished themselves too much and did not have the courage of level four Heavenly Masters!
Hearing the General's words, the City Lord heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly smiled and flattered the General. Under the hostile eyes of Nie Han and the Chu couple, the two of them were about to leave.
"This General has a lot of authority."
A sentence rang out without warning, causing everyone in the room to freeze. The General and the City Lord were the same. Nie Han and the other two immediately turned their heads. The person who spoke was none other than Lu An!
"Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of me!" The General's expression was gloomy, as if he was going to attack at any time. "Do you want to die?!"
Liu Huairen wanted to persuade Lu An to apologize, but Nie Han suddenly thought of something and was ecstatic. She hurriedly looked at the General and shouted, "I think you are the one who wants to die! He is the Vice City Lord of Purple Lake City, Lu An. Why aren't you saluting him?! "
Vice City Lord of Purple Lake City?!
Everyone in the room was stunned. Purple Lake City was the alliance leader of the surrounding countries. A level seven Heavenly Master City Lord was also the support of the surrounding countries. It was not an exaggeration to say that the surrounding countries had already become Purple Lake City's vassal countries. If he was really the Vice City Lord of Purple Lake City, his position was probably higher than the King of Shang Qi!
However, when did Purple Lake City have a Vice City Lord? Why didn't he know?
Lu An did not expect Nie Han to suddenly speak. He originally wanted to teach this person a lesson, but since he had already spoken, he did not hide it anymore. He directly took out the token that Yang Mu gave him and raised it in front of everyone.
However, the submission that Lu An imagined did not happen. Instead, everyone's face was blank. This place was very far from Purple Lake City. Everyone had never been to Purple Lake City, let alone a token.
Looking at the token that they had never seen before, the General and the City Lord looked at each other. Then, the General immediately pointed at Lu An and shouted, "Where did this thief come from? How dare you pretend to be the Vice City Lord of Purple Lake City. See if I don't kill you!"
After speaking, the General immediately rushed out and went straight for Lu An. He was too fast, so fast that Nie Han and the Chu couple did not have time to react!
However, Lu An reacted. When the General opened his mouth, he had already closed his eyes. Red pupils appeared, and opened instantly when the General was in front of him!
Austere, cruel, desperate …
A terrifying aura instantly engulfed the General, causing his fist to lose all its strength. At the same time, Lu An stretched out his hand and grabbed the General's wrist, breaking it with force. At the same time, he kicked the General's calf, causing intense pain in his lower body and causing him to kneel on the ground!
Everything happened in an instant. When everyone could see clearly, they were shocked to see the General's broken right arm in Lu An's hand. At the same time, Lu An's foot ruthlessly stepped on the General's head.
Lu An's pair of red eyes made people's hearts palpitate. In front of everyone, he said coldly, "A mere level five Heavenly Master dares to look down on my Purple Lake City?"
