Across the Dragon River, the Central Sacred Nation had set up camp. Inside the royal tent, a messenger hurried in and reported, "Your Majesty, we just saw a massive shadow rise into the sky from the Divine Martial Nation's camp, accompanied by a dragon's roar. After investigating several times, we believe it was the flood dragon that has been following Lin Bai. It has left the camp and is heading back toward Lingnan Imperial City."
The Sacred Emperor was overjoyed. "Excellent. Going to Lingnan Imperial City and back will take at least a day, even at top speed. Now that Lin Bai is missing that flood dragon, this is a heaven-sent opportunity."
"Prince Yu Qiudi, I intend to launch a night raid on the Divine Martial Nation's camp. What do you think?"
Yu Qiudi sat upon the throne and let out a deep sigh. "It makes no difference. As long as we can find Lin Bai, Lin Duo, and Li Subai and make them hand over the fragments, that is enough."
"As for everything else, make the arrangements yourself."
"Yes." The Sacred Emperor acknowledged him and immediately summoned the Army Marquis.
In the blink of an eye, midnight arrived. Across the Dragon River, banners waved as the mighty army of the Central Sacred Nation crossed the river and charged into the Divine Martial Nation's formation.
Lin Bai was still inside the royal tent arranging the retreat when a messenger rushed in anxiously. "Report! Your Majesty Emperor Xiao, the army of the Central Sacred Nation has crossed the Dragon River and launched a surprise attack on our camp. They are already clashing with the vanguard!"
Lin Bai and Bai Xiaoxiao's expressions tightened. Sure enough, deafening cries of battle rang out from beyond the royal tent.
The commotion was vast and mighty.
