"Call..."

Wisps of smoke rose from Li Mo's body, and the thick, lingering stench of blood filled the air. He exhaled a puff of white breath.

Numerous bloody holes blasted into his body; his meridians had burst open. He had never before allowed the power of the world to remain on his body for such a long time.

Most of the enemy troops had already collapsed and didn't even dare to look back.

However, some of the Calamity Beast keenly sensed his weakness.

He was more than just weak; he felt like his body no longer belonged to him.

The only feeling...

Winter in Southern Border is really cold.

Li Mo lost his balance and leaned backward, but the back of his head didn't feel like it was hitting a hard surface; instead, it felt...

Soft and elastic.

Sensing the brainwaves, Little Li tilted his head back.

It was that face weathered by time, her eyes cold and deep, meeting the sinister gazes amidst the chaos of war.

Despite his expressionless face, he exuded a considerable sense of oppression.

But lying in her arms, the back of his head was indeed warm and soft.

This damn sense of security.

Li Mo blinked, looking tired yet serious:

"Ice Block, you'd rather I just fall to the ground."

Ying Bing reached out and wiped the blood from his face, frowning as she said:

Are you feeling unwell?

"It feels so good, so incredibly good all of a sudden. I'm afraid I might fall asleep without realizing it."

"Then you should go to sleep."

Ying Bing removed the Green Jade Hairpin, letting her smooth, flowing black hair fall down. After all, the jade hairpin was an ordinary object and somewhat fragile.

Li Mo: "...?"

That doesn't make sense.

According to the storybook, the atmosphere had already been built up to this point. Shouldn't they be patting his face, anxiously telling him not to fall asleep, as if afraid he might never open his eyes again?

Well, even if you slap his handsome face until it's swollen, it probably won't stop him from falling asleep.

His jumbled thoughts pulled at his eyelids, making them grow heavier and heavier.

In a daze, he heard the sounds of soldiers charging out of the city gate behind him.

The last thing he saw before he fell asleep was a feather.

Feathers seem to be the most exquisite creations in the world, instantly memorable.

If it were a phoenix's feather, it probably wouldn't be much different.

Southern Pass, the Southern Pacification Prince Mansion.

A figure on horseback, looking travel-worn and anxious, stopped at the door. He rushed over and impatiently pushed open the door.

If an ordinary person had done this, they would have been arrested long ago, but the guards did not stop them.

"Where's my dad?!"

Zhong Zhenyue saw the housekeeper and asked loudly.

"The Prince was summoned back to the Imperial Capital by His Majesty several days ago to report on his duties, and he is no longer in the residence."

The butler wiped his sweat.

"How is that possible?!" Zhong Zhenyue's eyes widened.

The butler sighed and said, "It's absolutely true, how could I dare to lie to you?"

Zhong Zhenyue had the answer in his heart, but he still didn't want to believe it. He rushed into the courtyard where his father lived, only to find a mulberry tree standing alone in the cold wind.

He and Zhong Ling searched everywhere, but he still couldn't find the towering figure he had been looking for.

"Father really left, went to the Imperial Capital?"

Zhong Zhenyue's face gradually turned deathly pale.

"Commander Qu... you lied to us?" Zhong Ling bit her lip until it bled.

Under what circumstances would Qu Sheng lie to them?

Without their father's aid, how can Greenwood City withstand the Calamity Beast and the armies of various tribes?

Whether they can survive seven days is a question!

Zhong Zhenyue dared not think any further.

"Zhenyue, what are you doing?"

"I want to return to Greenwood City and be with Brother Li and the brothers!"

"What's the point of you going back alone? To throw your life away? The most important thing is to catch up with Father and inform him of the military situation in Greenwood City!"

Clear Abyss Sect, Main Peak Hall.

The charcoal crackled and popped, echoing through the hall, making it feel somewhat empty and oppressive.

The elders sat together, and for a moment no one spoke.

"If the Southern Pass falls, the flames of war will surely spread to the Eastern Wasteland Domain, and you all know the reasons why."

"Whether to stay or leave, we need to make a decision together."

Shangguan Wencang broke the silence by puffing on his pipe.

"Our roots are here. Without Clear Abyss, how can we still call ourselves the Clear Abyss Sect?"

Qian Bufan sighed and ate his roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) in a daze.

Purple Sun Prefecture was a fiefdom granted by the imperial court.

It sounds easy to just leave, but if Clear Abyss Sect leaves Purple Sun Prefecture, it can't go elsewhere to establish a sect, because those places are other people's territory.

Unless you go to North Seal or overseas, those places are no longer under your jurisdiction.

This means the sect exists in name only.

"If you ask me, let's fight those Calamity Beasts to the death, even if we die on our own land!"

Elder Han He clenched his fists, extremely angry.

"Old man Han He, I love hearing you say that!"

Shang Wu finished his drink from the gourd and gave a thumbs up.

"When I ascend the throne, I will make you a prince, Elder Qian will become our Crown Prince."

It's clear that the beautiful master has already entered battle mode, immediately unleashing the first move of the King of Brawling of Fighters' ultimate technique.

She truly deserves to be called the inventor of the profound secrets.

One sentence can offend two people.

Qian Bufan: "?"

Han He: "?"

Even if the Great Shang hadn't fallen, it wouldn't have been your turn to be emperor.

"I think we should pack up the important things first, and then observe how things develop over time."

Xue Jing frowned, his face full of worry and anxiety.

But he still reassured everyone, saying:

"Isn't there still the Prince of Southern Pacification? He's a divine general. As long as Greenwood City can hold out for a while until his reinforcements arrive, it can't be the worst outcome."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, but their worries remained.

Their sect's two most precious treasures are still in Greenwood City.

But these two little guys are already far ahead of their peers; surely they can hold out until reinforcements arrive, right?

Well, it certainly won't be the worst outcome...

Just then, a person rushed in in a panic; it was Xiao Qin.

The usually composed Xiao Qin was now panting heavily, his expression a far cry from his usual resolute calm.

"What's wrong? Weren't you supposed to be out training?"

"This disciple spotted a group of people in the Eastern Wasteland Domain! They came from the Southern Border!"

"They're still flying the banner of the Prince of Southern Pacification!"

??!

The elders' expressions immediately changed.

The Prince of Southern Pacification was not in the Southern Border at this time, but appeared in the Eastern Wasteland Domain.

Then... who can save Greenwood City?

Areca palm--

The wine gourd in Shang Wu's hand fell to the ground, and the usually carefree Master of Jade Cluster Peak showed a hint of panic in his eyes.

That foolish boy, he won't stay in Greenwood City and perish with the city, will he?

He wouldn't be that stupid... no...

Shang Wu shook the Concentric Bell vigorously.

But she waited for a long time without hearing a response.

"Shang Wu! Where are you going?"

"He's under my protection. I'd like to see which bastard dares to touch my disciple!"

"No, if you go now, the daylily will be too cold! You're practically giving it away!"

"Junior sister, don't worry. Let's think of a way. No matter what, we must first find out if Xiao Mo and Little Bing are safe, and then find an opportunity to rescue them..."

The main hall at the summit was in a state of chaos for a time.

At the same time.

Heaven Derivation Sect.

Tian Miao climbed the steps, just like yesterday, and reached the summit of this high Star Gazing Platform. Only a very few people, including Master's disciples, are able to ascend to this place.

Before long, she saw her master's stunned figure.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Tian Miao hurriedly went to get the blood-replenishing spirit medicine.

The old woman shook her head and remained silent. Tian Miao, puzzled, leaned closer and saw that her master was holding a piece of Green Vein Jade Slip.

It was clearly written above:

"Li Mo, the Wife-Prospering Fighting Soul, entered the battle with the prowess of a warrior capable of taking on ten thousand men, and amidst the vast army, he slew Han Zhen."

"Cold Fairy Ying Bing used her zither music to assist in the battle, and then transformed into True Phoenix, deterring several high-grade Calamity Beast, killing thousands of Calamity Beasts, and frightening away tens of thousands of enemy troops from various tribes in the Southern Border."

Tian Miao opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

She wondered if she was still half asleep.

Could this be the record of the Hidden Dragon Ranking?

Placing it on Human Ranking or Earth Ranking would probably be too exaggerated!

But Li Mo and Ying Bing's names were clearly there.

How did you do that?

"Master, should we send this to Dragon Gate... and send it out?"

"Unprecedented throughout history, it should naturally extend to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

Tian Miao took the information and became increasingly alarmed as she read it.

This is perhaps the most prestigious achievement in the history of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, considering all the geniuses who have made it onto the list.
