You Province Secured, You Lian Holy Envoy

"Your Highness, the Imperial Ossuary Zhenyou City has been completed, with a total of eighteen Imperial Ossuary bone towers, not one missing."

"My mother, leading the remaining Zhenyou Cavalry, and General Lü have been pursuing the Great Feng soldiers since last night. The last news we received was at dawn this morning."

"Of the 60,000 defeated troops of the Great Feng, only about 30,000 remain. They are still pursuing and should return tonight or tomorrow morning."

"The army in the city also suffered heavy losses, mainly due to the betrayal of Peng Chang and Luobu, as well as the attack by the Shadow Kill Hall, which led to the initial defeat and significant losses. However, fortunately, His Your Highness came to the rescue, like Divine Weapon, leading our You Province army to victory."

"The remaining army in the city numbers approximately 280,000. Prefect Lu has been working to appease various regions, manage losses, and coordinate affairs in You Province. Recruitment notices have been issued and are currently being issued."

"This is the basic situation of the You Province army at present. The situation has been settled, and the rest is just a matter of gradual recovery after the war."

Inside a refined residence in Zhenyou City, many people were seated in the main hall. After Wang Long finished speaking, many glanced at him, wondering why they hadn't noticed before how blatantly this Shenying Marquis was flattering them.

Chu Xuanao nodded, a hint of heartache in his eyes. Two hundred and eighty thousand men, including the remaining men of his Hanshan Prefecture, a portion of the Bingzhou Wolf Riders in the city, and some local troops. In other words, half of the Youzhou Grand Camp was wiped out in this battle.

There might even be more than that; they were all his Dagan sons and his people!

A sharp glint flashed in Chu Xuanao's eyes.

"The compensation for the fallen soldiers and the money for settling their families must be sufficient. These are heroes who died for their country. Anyone who dares to ask for this money will be killed!"

"After this is over, I will have Zhu Wushi and the others investigate the situation. If anyone dares to embezzle, don't blame me for being ruthless. You all need to pass on this message to your subordinates. You must also keep a close watch on them. If any of their subordinates dare to make a move, I will deal with everyone present here as well. Think carefully."

When Chu Xuanao swept his cold gaze across the entire room, many people felt a tremor in their hearts, hiding their innermost thoughts and echoing his sentiments.

"Your Prince, rest assured, we will thoroughly investigate and supervise this matter, and we will never allow the families of the Dagan heroes to suffer injustice."

After everyone finished speaking, Xue Kong, the deputy director of the Town Martial Division, then reported that he had also arrived.

The head of the Town Martial Division You Province had already gone to Youtai Prefecture and Youquan Prefecture to suppress the evil cults and villains causing trouble in various places. He had not yet returned. After the news of Hanshan Prefecture spread, Xue Kong came to Zhenyou City.

"Your Prince, many of the Shadow Kill Hall' strongholds have been wiped out in recent days. The wanted notices have been issued, and they are already being cleared out. The people of Koudao Mountain are also mostly searching for the remnants of the Shadow Kill Hall in various places. This force can be said to have been destroyed."

"The evil followers throughout You Province went into hiding after the war ended and disappeared without a trace. Those members of the Corpse Immortal Sect, who were indeed active in You Province before, have also vanished. We are currently investigating them."

At this point, Xue Kong paused for a moment and then continued.

"Many members of the Blood Lotus Sect are heading towards the Great Feng. According to news from our spies in the Eastern Border today, after the great defeat, the evil followers of the Blood Lotus Sect are extremely rampant in the Eastern Border of the Great Feng, and some have even openly performed blood sacrifices."

Hearing this, Chu Xuanao didn't care. Anyway, it wasn't something he Dagan. That was something Great Feng Da Feng to worry about, so there was no need to pay attention to it.

Moreover, this is perfectly normal. It's not just the Blood Lotus Sect; all three major evil sects are wanted by countries around the world and have been around for thousands of years. Those guys are opportunistic and fickle, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Besides the top-level combat capabilities, the lower-level personnel travel to various countries, and their keen observation and ability to sense and anticipate danger are all honed through training.

Some people who lack tact and fail to grasp the situation have already had their achievements boosted by the Town Martial Division and the forces of various countries.

Those who have survived until now are all old foxes; what are they waiting for if they don't run away?

After the report, the meeting concluded, and the tone of the Battle of Youzhou was set. The Lu Family, the Shenying Marquis Manor, and even Koudao Mountain had taken the lead in expressing their opinions after the Battle of Youzhou.

Many other forces have submitted, and now he can basically be called king of You Province. The Qin banner will be flown here.

Looking around at the people, Ghost Servant, his Maternal Grandfather Bai Yi, Zhu Wushi and Cheng Shifei were all there. Now was the time to ask that guy. Since the end of the great battle last night, he had been busy with various parties and only now had time to see that guy from the Blood Lotus Sect.

"Bring the person up."

Upon hearing the sound, Li Xunhuan stepped out from behind the screen, with Yu Huo following closely behind. He was not bound hand and foot, and there were no marks or torture on his body. Well, Yu Huo was too busy to keep track of him.

Even so, Yu Huo obediently stepped forward and looked at the main seat. He wore a red official robe with black and gold five-clawed python patterns. He was the only one in You Province who dared to wear such an outfit.

Yu Huo sighed inwardly, "Alas! Prince of Qin, you should have thought of this sooner."

Are all those intelligence operatives in the Blood Lotus Sect incompetent? Otherwise, how could he have fallen to such a state?

Holy Envoy, I'm sorry, I have to betray you again, but I have no choice, I want to live!

Looking around at the crowd, he recognized their portraits; they were all renowned figures. Yu Huo knelt down, performed a deep bow, and respectfully said...

"This Yu Huo servant, Yu Huo, pays his respects to Your Prince. Your Prince's unparalleled talent is truly astonishing, a veritable dragon among men."

Looking at Yu Huo, Chu Xuanao's interest flashed. Li Xunhuan had told him about this guy, so he asked.

"Isn't everyone saying that your Blood Lotus Sect is extremely brutal, indiscriminately killing, heartless, cannibalistic, and a bunch of fearless madmen? How come you, um? You're really from the Blood Lotus Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Huo spoke with a hint of tears in his eyes.

"Your Prince, I joined the Blood Lotus Sect out of necessity, a last resort. Although I have done some bad things, I would never have committed such a heinous act of harming living beings. I hope Your Prince will investigate thoroughly."

Chu Xuanao didn't believe what this guy said. His eyes gradually sharpened, and his tone carried a hint of coldness.

"What is your position in the Blood Lotus Sect? What is the purpose of the Blood Lotus Sect sending you to Zhenyou City this time?"

Seeing the gaze above, sharp as a blade, and the aura slowly emanating from the people around him, Yu Huo hurriedly spoke.

"Your Prince, I am an ordinary elder of the Blood Lotus Sect, under the command of the You Lian Holy Envoy. This time, the Holy Envoy instructed us to come to Zhenyou City to await orders to join forces with another group to break through the Zhenyou City gates."

"I don't know about the others either. I'm just someone who follows orders and does the work; I'm not in charge."

Yu Huo did not hide these messages, nor could he. That Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert was in the courtyard that day, and he did not believe that the expert had not heard them. If a prisoner wanted to live, he would have to behave himself a little.

You need to have information, but you also need to have some value yourself.

Yu Huo finished speaking, Bai Yi stared intently at Yu Huo, exerting a powerful aura on Yu Huo, and spoke.

"The Blood Lotus Sect's You Lian Holy Envoy possesses the cultivation level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, though the exact level is unknown. However, his strength surpasses that of Gu Ji of the Great Feng Lieyang Sect, given his most famous feat being his battle against Gu Ji Lieyang Sect's patriarch."

"Gu Ji was defeated. In fact, if it weren't for the intervention of that person from Suo Hun Cliff, Gu Ji might have died. This matter caused quite a stir back then. Gu Ji was chased for nearly a thousand miles, fleeing all the way. It is said that this You Lian Holy Envoy practiced a darker style of cultivation and was also known as the Nether Shadow."

"This person has been active within the territory of Great Feng for a long time, and this time even people from Great Feng have been transferred here. What does your Blood Lotus Sect want to do?"
