Lei Huo spoke with a trace of excitement in his voice:
"Great General Huo, we broke through Old Fox Ridge days ago! Taiping Commander-in-Chief even slew the great Demonic General Jingyi with a single slash!"
Huo Xuan was shaken to his core.
Disbelief filled his eyes as he said:
"You actually broke through Old Fox Ridge and slew Demonic General Jingyi... wait!"

Huo Xuan said excitedly:
"Good! Very good!"

Huo Xuan gave a hearty laugh.
"Think nothing of it."
His expression immediately grew solemn again.
