"Let me tell you another piece of news. A month ago, a bloody battle broke out at Horizon Pass on Chu's frontier..."
"The Northern Region martial artists tried to sneak into Horizon Pass, but they were discovered."
What!!
What Qian Hen had said was truly shocking enough to leave no stone unturned.
Even Lin Bai's pupils unconsciously widened, revealing deep astonishment.
A month ago, Northern Region martial artists had tried to sneak into Horizon Pass. After being discovered, they had fought a bloody battle with the frontier army?... Lin Bai's eyes shifted. How had he not heard the slightest news?
"Is that for real?" Lin Bai was clearly not the only one who refused to believe it. Meng Qinxian immediately voiced his doubts. "How come we haven't heard a thing? Forget news—we didn't even sense the slightest disturbance."
Nie Shang also rather agreed with Meng Qinxian's doubts. "A bloody battle on the frontier is absolutely no small matter. How come there hasn't been any news in the imperial capital?"
Qian Hen said, "The imperial family deliberately suppressed the matter and prevented the news from leaking out."
Lu Qingjun asked, "Then how did Brother Qian find out?"
Yi Song paused again before continuing, "Besides... if Chu expends too much strength in the Northern Region, I'm afraid it'll arouse the covetousness of the other three territories in the Eastern Region."
"The three Army Kings have already led their troops to the frontier." The Qian family said, "Moreover, the other Army Kings have also begun expanding their military preparations. It seems they're preparing for an immortal battle."
After hearing Qian Hen's explanation, Lin Bai and the others understood the whole chain of events.
If the Northern Region martial artists dealt with Chu, then the next target would be the Seven Nights Divine Sect.
