Central command tent.
Mo Liqing stood with his hands behind his back.
His gaze passed over the camp tents and looked toward the vanguard's main tent.
The cyan-gold pillar of light that pierced the night sky and tore through the heavens gradually receded and dissipated.
However, the lingering sharpness between heaven and earth prevented the Shang soldiers patrolling the area from easily approaching the vanguard camp even a step.
Mo Liqing watched quietly for a long time, then slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air filled with deep shock.
"You've gotten stronger again..."
He murmured softly, his eyes filled with an extremely complex expression.
In broad daylight, on the battlefield, Gu Xuan forced Nezha back with a single spear thrust, a feat that was already astonishing.
Only half a night had passed, yet the domineering and terrifying gun intent had been further amplified.
This kind of cultivation speed that completely disregards common sense...
Even Mo Liqing, who had traversed the primordial world for thousands of years and followed Grand Tutor Wen in his campaigns, had never heard of such a thing.
"Da, da, da..."
A series of steady, cold footsteps came from the night.
Mo Liqing's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he turned to look.
A tall figure clad in black armor, carrying a spear in one hand, strode forward.
Mo Liqing was taken aback at first, then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Brother, what brings you here?"
"You've had an epiphany tonight, why don't you quickly go into seclusion for a few days and properly organize what you've gained!"
"Big brother."
Gu Xuan remained calm and spoke directly.
"I need to leave camp for a few days."
"Leaving camp?"
Mo Liqing's smile froze slightly, and his brows furrowed tightly.
When two armies clash, the commander-in-chief sits in the center, while the vanguard general is the sharpest fang of the army.
According to military regulations, a vanguard general who leaves the camp without orders shall be executed!
but......
Mo Liqing slowly raised her head and looked at Gu Xuan.
Since Gu Xuan came in person, there must be a reason why he had to go.
He paused for a moment, then asked directly, "Do you need me to prepare any magical treasures, mounts, or reinforcements for you?"
"When will you be back?"
Gu Xuan looked at Mo Liqing quietly.
After a moment, he gently shook his head and said, "No need to prepare."
"This time we leave the camp only to kill a few people who possess great fortune."
The words fell.
The Void-Piercing Spear hummed and vibrated.
A faint, shimmering cyan-gold gleam flashed.
Mo Liqing's body hair stood on end, and his protective immortal light suddenly activated, but he forcibly suppressed it.
He gave Gu Xuan a deep look, but didn't ask any further questions.
He then turned and walked to the two military sand table in the center of the tent, his thick fingers tapping lightly on the edge.
"A person with great fortune..."
Mo Liqing pondered and said, "There are quite a few of these strange creatures that have emerged out of necessity in Xiqi City."
"But now Nezha is personally overseeing the situation, and Jiang Ziya's Jade Purity Defense Array is located outside the city."
"If we search further afield..."
Before he could finish speaking...
A vibrating buzzing sound suddenly came from the sand table.
Mo Liqing's gaze sharpened, and his voice abruptly stopped.
Gu Xuan looked in the direction of the sound, his brows furrowing slightly as he said, "This is..."
In the northwest corner of the sand table, a thin, hair-like red line quietly lit up!
Like a snake, the red line rose into the sky from the direction of Xiqi, passed through layers of mountains, and stretched straight to the northwest!
Mo Liqing stared at the red line, paused for a moment, then suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter.
"Brother! The opportunity you've been waiting for has come to you!"
He pointed at the red line, grinned, and sneered.
"I knew long ago that Jiang Ziya would be uneasy after your battle with Nezha today!"
"Therefore, before nightfall, I arranged for several teams of scouts to lie in ambush around Xiqi City."
"As soon as a distress talisman is sent from within the city, this sand table sensing array will immediately reveal its location!"
As he spoke, a smug, cold glint flashed in Mo Liqing's eyes.
"I just didn't expect that old man to move so quickly."
"I'm afraid he was terrified when he saw your unparalleled spear technique just now, and couldn't even restrain himself for a whole night!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Gu Xuan didn't speak, quietly watching the direction of the red line.
Mo Liqing stared at the sand table, his expression gradually becoming solemn. "Judging from the direction of this flying talisman, it should be heading towards Zhongnan Mountain."
"Ji Chang had an adopted son named Lei Zhenzi, who became a disciple of Yun Zhongzi of Zhongnan Mountain."
"He was born with a pair of wings that could strike wind and thunder, and not only was his speed unparalleled among true immortals, but he also wielded a golden staff."
"Though not as fierce as Nezha, he is still a true immortal warrior with great fortune!"
At this point, Mo Liqing's tone became slightly harsher, "And they are most adept at aerial surprise attacks."
"If he were to join Xiqi, he and Nezha would become each other's horns..."
Gu Xuan listened to Mo Liqing's analysis.
A barely perceptible glint of light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
The reincarnation of a Heavenly Thunder General!
Its true spirit...
It's more than enough to fill the gap left by the second stage of the source blessing!
Mo Liqing pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Gu Xuan, his tone carrying a mature and serious air.
"Brother, if you want to kill this person with such great fortune, you might as well wait a few more days."
"Zhongnan Mountain is the Daoist site of Yun Zhongzi, and its profound cultural heritage is unfathomable."
"We can wait until Lei Zhenzi receives the flying talisman and gets close to Xiqi territory before looking for an opportunity to kill him in one fell swoop."
What follows.
Mo Liqing didn't finish speaking.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan looked down at the slowly closing crack at the tip of the Void-Breaking Spear.
He recalled Nezha's Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, and the heaven-defying ambition surged within him once more.
If Lei Zhenzi were to join forces with Nezha in Xiqi...
There would be no chance to kill him again!
Wait?
Why wait!
Gu Xuan slowly raised his head.
A pair of dark eyes stared directly at Mo Liqing.
His tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable sharpness.
"No, we won't wait."
"Since he dared to get involved in this mess..."
"I'll just kill him on the way."
Mo Liqing stared intently at Gu Xuan.
After a moment of silence, he slammed his palm heavily on the edge of the sand table, making the wooden table rattle loudly.
"good!"
"If Jiang Ziya dares to send a flying talisman to request reinforcements, my brothers dare to intercept them halfway!"
With a flick of his sleeve, Mo Liqing pulled out a black and gold token engraved with a black bird totem from his bosom and tossed it to Gu Xuan with great decisiveness.
"Take it!"
"I'll take responsibility for leaving the camp!"
Gu Xuan raised his hand and steadily accepted the token.
Mo Liqing stared intently at him, his usual arrogance slightly subdued, and his tone unusually somber.
"But brother, remember this too."
"If Yun Zhongzi intervenes, and the situation cannot be ignored, retreat to camp immediately!"
"When the time comes, I'll call the second brother and the others..."
Mo Liqing sneered, "Even if we have to force it, we'll capture a few unlucky souls with extraordinary luck to make up the numbers!"
Gu Xuan lowered his head.
He glanced at the black and gold token in his palm.
A rare ripple of emotion swept through my heart.
He didn't say anything more, he just nodded slowly.
Then, he turned around decisively, lifted the heavy curtain, and stepped into the boundless night.
……
A moment later.
The heavy gates of the Shang army camp emitted a dull groan as their mechanisms creaked and slowly opened, barely wide enough for a single rider to pass through.
"hiss--!"
Accompanied by a roar like muffled thunder from a true dragon.
With its four hooves treading on raging crimson flames, the East Sea Dragon Horse burst forth from the camp and plunged headlong into the dark mountains in the direction of Zhongnan Mountain.
"Lei Zhenzi..."
"You have the destiny of a celestial general—"
"I'll take it!"
