Chen Xuanyang’s expression was unchanged as he explained in a natural manner, “Before this, the guards of Blood Sun Valley fought with this Evil Wolf Army and we lost a few guards.”
“The remaining people returned to Blood Sun Valley and told me that the leader of this Evil Wolf Army is a Grade 5 Black Immortal.”
“I see,”
Xia Qingying’s expression softened as she nodded.
Earlier on, an extremely terrifying guess flashed through her mind. But now, it seemed like she was thinking too much.
“Qingying,”
When Chen Xuanyang saw Xia Qingying frowning in deep thought, he smiled and called out softly, “You haven’t answered my question.”
“From what I know, there are hundreds of people in this Evil Wolf Army. Be it in terms of numbers or combat strength, they are far superior to you guys. How could…”
The scene before him was indeed incomprehensible.
On the battlefield, there were dozens of corpses of the Evil Wolf Army lying everywhere. However, everyone from Snow Wind Ridge was almost completely fine!
Xia Qingying said, “One of my personal guards attacked and killed those bandits of the Evil Wolf Army. He led us to fight back the Evil Wolf Army.”
“Oh?”
Chen Xuanyang’s eyes lit up as he asked, “Your personal guard? Why haven’t I heard you mention him before? What’s his cultivation realm? Grade 5 or 6 Black Immortal?”
Chen Xuanyang asked a few questions in succession.
Xia Qingying frowned slightly.
Right then, Liang Qiu remarked sourly at the side, “Young Master Chen, you’ve overestimated him. He’s only a Grade 4 Black Immortal.”
“Grade 4 Black Immortal?”
A cold glint flashed through Chen Xuanyang’s eyes.
If this person was a Grade 4 Black Immortal, he had not overestimated this person. Instead, he had actually underestimated this person!
Chen Xuanyang looked at Liang Qiu deeply.
He caught the displeasure and jealousy in Liang Qiu’s tone.
Chen Xuanyang cupped his fists towards Liang Qiu. “Commander Liang, you must have played an important role in how Snow Wind Ridge was able to defeat the Evil Wolf Army this time round.”
“N-No,”
Liang Qiu felt flattered and answered hurriedly.
Notwithstanding the fact that Chen Xuanyang was the young master of Blood Sun Valley, it was also an honor for a Grade 6 Black Immortal to praise him as such!
Liang Qiu coughed gently and straightened his back unconsciously. “It’s all thanks to the mistress’s leadership that we were able to defeat the Evil Wolf Army this time round. Naturally, it’s not just one person’s credit for Snow Wind Ridge’s combined efforts.”
Chen Xuanyang asked in a seemingly casual manner, “Who is he? Why haven’t I heard of him before?”
“Hmph!”
Liang Qiu said, “He’s just a lowlife who has just ascended. He’s only been in Snow Wind Ridge for less than a year. He…”
“Cough!”
Liang Qiu was about to continue when he was interrupted by a gentle cough from Xia Qingying.
Xia Qingying cupped her fists towards Chen Xuanyang and smiled. “Thank you for your help this time round, Xuanyang. We have to return to Snow Wind Ridge and inform father about this so that he can make preparations.”
Chen Xuanyang pondered for a moment. “After all, many of the Evil Wolf Army escaped. I’ll be worried if you guys return now.”
“Qingying, follow me back to Blood Sun Valley. Nothing will happen with me escorting you guys.”
Xia Qingying hesitated.
The purpose of her trip to Blood Sun Valley was to exchange for Essence Condensation Pills. If she returned empty-handed, the medicinal farmers in Snow Wind Ridge might be disappointed.
However, she was worried about Snow Wind Ridge.
Chen Xuanyang seemed to have read Xia Qingying’s mind and smiled gently. “Qingying, don’t worry. I can send a Grade 5 Black Immortal under my lead to report to Snow Wind Ridge and have them make preparations.”
“If the bandits truly invade, he can stay in Snow Wind Ridge to help defend.”
Thereafter, before Xia Qingying could reply, Chen Xuanyang glanced sideways and said in a deep voice, “Tan Hong, report everything that happened here to Snow Wind Ridge.”
“Understood, young master!”
A muscular man in black martial arts attire cupped his fists towards Chen Xuanyang and rode his horse towards Snow Wind Ridge.
“Let’s go, Qingying,”
Chen Xuanyang turned slightly and made an inviting gesture.
Xia Qingying frowned slightly and was still hesitant.
Pondering for a moment, she beckoned for two Snow Wind Ridge guards and instructed softly, “The two of you, stay in the vicinity and hide carefully. If you see Guard Su return, take him with you to Blood Sun Valley.”
Xia Qingying was still worried about Su Zimo.
She was not worried about Su Zimo’s safety. However, she thought that if Su Zimo were to return here, he would definitely need someone to guide him.
After all, Su Zimo had never been to Blood Sun Valley.
“Mistress, what if Guard Su doesn’t return?”
A guard muttered softly, “I think what Commander Liang said makes sense. Guard Su might have escaped out of fear of the Evil Wolf Army’s revenge.”
“Don’t think too much!”
Xia Qingying berated in a low voice, “Stay here and guard until he returns! If he doesn’t…”
Pausing for a moment, she continued, “When I return from Blood Sun Valley, I’ll naturally come back for you guys. It’ll just be tougher on the two of you.”
“Understood,”
The two Snow Wind Ridge guards agreed.
After making those arrangements, Xia Qingying turned to Chen Xuanyang and smiled. “Xuanyang, let’s go.”
“Alright,”
Chen Xuanyang nodded slightly and led the army of more than a thousand people from Blood Sun Valley, escorting the hundred-odd people from Snow Wind Ridge towards Blood Sun Valley.
…
After Su Zimo left the line of sight of Xia Qingying and the others, he began to fly through the air. His speed increased exponentially as he chased after the few escaping Evil Wolf Army soldiers!
Since he had already attacked this time round, he would not leave any trouble for himself or Snow Wind Ridge!
He had to kill all of them to prevent future troubles!
Earlier on, Su Zimo could not attack with his full strength in front of everyone from Snow Wind Ridge and did not reveal many of his methods.
Now that the Evil Wolf Army was fleeing in all directions, he would have to wait for them to regroup if he wanted to wipe them out.
Therefore, Su Zimo merely watched the few Grade 4 Black Immortals of the Evil Wolf Army closely and hung back slowly, in no hurry to attack.
He was certain that the Evil Wolf Army must have some means of communication that could gather the survivors who had escaped.
The few Grade 4 Black Immortals of the Evil Wolf Army were extremely wary. As they fled, they changed their routes countless times and even stopped from time to time to check out their surroundings.
True enough!
A long time later, after ensuring that they were out of danger, the few of them stopped in their tracks and took out a talisman from their storage bags. After writing a few words on it, they tore it apart.
The talismans soared into the skies and released a divine light in midair before dissipating rapidly.
The few Grade 4 Black Immortals jumped down from the Black Scale Fiend Wolves with pale expressions and panted slightly, as though they still had lingering fears.
“That person shouldn’t be chasing us,” Someone said.
“Don’t worry, no matter how fast that person is, he can’t compare to the strength of our Black Scale Fiend Wolves. Even if he had chased after us, we should have long lost him.”
Another person said.
