Xu Taiping frowned and asked:
"What exactly is it?"
Lin Buyan shook her head and said:
"I'm not entirely sure what this seal key is yet."
She looked up at Xu Taiping and said solemnly:
"When it appears, both my soul and Buyu's should sense it."
As she spoke, Lin Buyan handed Xu Taiping a bracelet.
It was the other Listening Wind Bracelet, and likewise the place where Buyu's soul currently resided.
Xu Taiping took the Listening Wind Bracelet and nodded with utmost solemnity:
"Thank you."
He now had one more reason he absolutely could not lose this battle against the Northern Emperor.
Two months later.
The four armies of the Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, White Tiger, and Azure Dragon launched a full-scale offensive against the Nine Abysses.
"The Human Race hasn't mounted an offensive like this in ten thousand years. It truly has the momentum to end this Heaven-Demon War, which has lasted hundreds of thousands of years, in one stroke."
"Indeed. On every battlefield, our Human Race is holding its own!"
In the Discussion Hall of Heavenly Thunder City, the battle generals of the Demon-Slaying Army's various forces were discussing the Human Race's current war effort.
At that moment, Xu Taiping, Feng Tianxing of the Profound Elixir Palace, Lü Daoxuan, Zhang Tianze, Zhu Huai, Jiang Fu of the Ziyang Sect, Xuanzhi, and the others occupied the seats of honor, while below sat the Third Prince Chu Yinan, Duan Xiaoyu, Yang Hong, Xiahou You, and the veteran generals of the Zhenwu Demon-Slaying Army, among others.
Today, not a single seat in the Council Hall was empty.
Feng Tianxing, seated at the head of the hall, suddenly turned to Xu Taiping beside him:
"Taiping, did you gather us all here today because you received deployment orders from the front?"
