After returning to the residence, Li Xuancang had Nangong Zhan, Wang Xiaoniu, and the others return to the military camp.
He told them to use the beast meat to raise their strength as quickly as possible.
He would soon be promoted to Colonel and would then form his own three thousand Battle Soldiers. Nangong Zhan and the others would be his right-hand men, and they needed sufficient strength to support him.
Afterward, Li Xuancang went to where Shen Qingshan was staying to check on his condition.
Shen Qingshan's injuries had mostly healed, but his cultivation could not be restored.
He remained calm and detached, utterly unaffected by the destruction of his cultivation.
"Lord Li, congratulations on your triumphant return and another extraordinary achievement."
Shen Qingshan smiled faintly as he offered Li Xuancang his congratulations.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shen."
After they spoke for a while, Shen Qingshan said solemnly, "Lord Li, people from the Prison Tiger Bureau have come to fetch me. I must bid you farewell."
The Prison Tiger Bureau had special methods for contacting the sects.
Shen Qingshan had already gotten in touch with his sect. The Prison Tiger Bureau would soon send someone to take him back.
At those words, Li Xuancang felt an inexplicable pang of loss, but he quickly composed himself.
"No feast lasts forever. My promotion ceremony to Colonel will be held in three days. I hope Fellow Daoist Shen can attend it before departing."
Li Xuancang held Shen Qingshan in great affection, admiration, and gratitude. He wanted him to attend his promotion ceremony.
"Lord Li is still so young, yet you are about to become a Colonel. It is truly cause for celebration. I certainly will not be absent."
Shen Qingshan was greatly surprised that Li Xuancang would become a Colonel at such
