After the two escaped alive, Li Xuancang did not pause for even a moment, racing toward Profound Sun Commandery City at top speed.
The soldiers guarding Profound Sun Commandery City were bored out of their minds, chatting idly among themselves.
Suddenly, dust billowed along the horizon, and a figure could vaguely be seen charging toward the city gates.
"Something's wrong. Stay alert, everyone."
All the gate guards were alarmed. They grabbed their weapons and stared fixedly at the approaching figure.
Only after Li Xuancang reached the gates did he stop.
"Peace Prefecture Army Thousand-Man Commander Li Xuancang is here. Take me to see Commander Zhou immediately."
The situation was urgent; every second was precious. Li Xuancang identified himself and demanded to see Zhou Xingzhan at once.
The guards were stunned. Then, a recruit asked, "Do you have an Identity Token?"
The recruit was cautious and wanted to inspect Li Xuancang's Identity Token.
Li Xuancang had gone through two great battles. His clothes were tattered, and he did not even have a single intact garment left. Where could he possibly produce an Identity Token?
At that moment, the Squad Leader guarding the gates hurried forward and recognized Li Xuancang at a glance.
"It's Lord Li. Move aside, quickly."
This man was an old soldier who had survived from the Xuanyang Commandery Army and knew Li Xuancang. He no longer blocked him, instead leading the way ahead.
They went straight to the military camp. After an announcement was made, Li Xuancang soon met Zhou Xingzhan.
"This subordinate pays respects to Lord Zhou."
Seeing his former superior again, Li Xuancang respectfully saluted him.
"Xuancang, how did you end up in such a state?"
Zhou Xingzhan was delighted to see Li Xuancang again, but the sight of his bedraggled appearance left him utterly stunned.
