Clouds swirled around Baiyun Abyss, making it a vast expanse of whiteness.
It was easy to get lost inside.
Several squads of Tang Army scouts cautiously made their way through the dense forest in the mountains.
One of the squads gradually walked into the depths of Baiyun Abyss.
Suddenly, a blood shadow flashed through the dense forest.
This blood shadow attached itself to one of the soldiers, and the other party's figure suddenly paused.
The person in front reacted quickly and turned around.
But his companion behind him had a face as red as blood and a strange smile on his face.
The next moment, a blood mist erupted from his body and quickly enveloped the surroundings, drowning the other Tang Army scouts.
The blood mist fluctuated a few times, then quickly turned into a blood shadow and flew into the depths of Baiyun Abyss.
But just as the shadow took off, a cold light suddenly flashed in the distance.
The swift and fierce saber light instantly arrived in front of the blood shadow.
Blood Shadow cursed inwardly and was forced to put down the person he had just caught.
The other party's saber light was like thunder, surging in succession. It was clearly the middle-aged general who had led the Tang Army into the mountains.
When he heard the Shan Hu Tang disciple mention that there were devil experts in Baiyun Abyss, this person was a little more careful.
Blood Shadow was caught off guard and was caught off guard by the other party's mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
The Old Devil flew into a rage. "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
He turned into a blood mist and was about to counterattack.
The capture of several Tang Army scouts just now had affected his movements, and he had been forced to release them by the other party's saber light.
But now that they were released, they were no longer a hindrance, allowing the Old Devil to fight the enemy with all his might and regain his dignity.
The middle-aged general's expression was calm, and he didn't fight the Old Devil head-on. His saber technique suddenly changed from hard to soft, delaying the battle.
There was a clamor of shouts in the forest.
Led by a young man in armor, many soldiers drew close.
After observing the battle for a while, the young man couldn't help sneering and looking at the Shan Hu Tang Hall Chief next to him.
"He's not that powerful. How can he be as powerful as the blood river that your disciple said?"
The Shan Hu Tang Hall Chief secretly scolded his disciple for misleading him, but on the surface, he smiled and said,
"I'm just a little brat who hasn't seen the world yet. I've let Young Master Du laugh at me. However, the opponent is easier to deal with than expected. We can relax a little."
The armored young man snorted. "I only hope that the miraculous elixir is real and that he isn't just spouting nonsense. Otherwise, I'll definitely tear him apart!"
As he spoke, the young man suddenly raised his hand.
In his hand, a light green jade badge was flashing with light.
The surrounding people immediately smelled a burst of fragrance from the jade token.
Wherever the fragrance went, everyone felt their minds calm down. It was as if their souls had been cleansed, becoming clear inside and out.
Blood Shadow's expression suddenly changed as he fought with the middle-aged general.
"Clear Spirit Jade?!"
To others, the fragrance was refreshing and had many benefits.
But for the Old Devil, it would do more harm than good.
When he came into contact with the fragrance of the Clear Spirit Still Jade, the blood mist that flowed out of his body instantly faded and dissipated.
As the battle progressed, the middle-aged general's saber technique immediately became fierce and fierce again as he aimed for the Old Devil's vital points.
The Old Devil was helpless. A wise man knew better than to fight when the odds were against him.
He feinted and no longer tangled with the middle-aged general. He hurriedly turned into a blood shadow and flew off into the distance.
However, the Old Devil's response was all within the middle-aged general's expectations.
He had already arranged for his soldiers to prepare crossbows.
His own saber technique was limited in strength and only left a direction for the Old Devil to break out of the encirclement.
But when the Old Devil fled, the archers immediately launched a volley of arrows.
A whistling rain of arrows directly covered the Old Devil's path of retreat.
The Old Devil's figure twisted and his entire body seemed to turn into a cloud of mist. Light as a feather, he moved around and tried his best to avoid the numerous arrows.
But under the influence of the fragrance of the Clear Spirit Still Jade, the transformation of his demonic art was disrupted.
Although the blood shadow had fled into the distance and hid in the dense forest mist, there was still a trail of blood on the ground.
"You guys are usually too lax in training. How could you let him escape?" Young Master Du shouted in dissatisfaction.
The middle-aged general said, "If we really had a panacea, his injuries wouldn't be a big problem. But the battle just now already proved that we have a way to deal with him."
Young Master Du called for the others to open up a path as quickly as possible. "The panacea should be ours. I'm just regretting that we might have wasted one on this devil."
"Apart from this devil, the other side might have other experts. We still have to advance steadily and move as a large group."
At the middle-aged general's command, his men and horses went deep into Baiyun Abyss and cut down trees to open a path.
The Shan Hu Tang Hall Chief immediately volunteered to take the place of a scout at the front to scout the way. They followed Blood Shadow's trail of blood all the way down to Chang 'an City.
Blood Shadow fled back into the city in a sorry state. He didn't have time to treat his own injuries as he hurriedly reported to Zhang Dongyun.
"Do you know why you were hit by those arrows?"
Zhang Dongyun's expression was calm, as if he didn't care about the enemy at all.
Affected by his attitude, Blood Shadow also calmed down.
"When I found out that those scouts were soldiers, I should have thought that there might be a large force behind them, or even that was just bait."
Blood Shadow kowtowed. "I was careless and messed up the task Your Majesty gave me. I beg Your Majesty to give me another chance to atone for my sins."
Zhang Dongyun looked at him with a faint smile.
Blood Shadow was seriously injured. How could he atone for his sins?
His old injuries hadn't healed yet, and now he had new injuries. His strength had further declined.
Before he had new injuries, he couldn't take down the Tang Army, let alone now that he had more injuries.
If the Old Demon Blood Shadow wanted to redeem himself through meritorious service and take revenge on that group of Tang soldiers, the way was naturally through Zhang Dongyun, His Majesty, treating his injuries and allowing him to recover his strength.
Feeling Zhang Dongyun's gaze, Blood Shadow felt cold all over.
"Your Majesty is wise! I don't have any other intentions, I just want to atone for my sins. "
The Old Devil was scared out of his wits. "I'll go and settle accounts with those people right now."
As for whether he had the ability to do so, that was another story.
But it was better than angering His Majesty and immediately suffering for it.
Zhang Dongyun stared at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled leisurely.
"It's not impossible to completely heal your injuries."
"Your … Your Majesty?" Blood Shadow trembled with fear.
"However, this may cause you to lose even more," Zhang Dongyun said indifferently.
Blood Shadow was stunned. "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I … I'm too stupid to understand Your Majesty's true meaning."
