Chapter Thirty-One Return

  In the second war zone at the foot of the mountain, more than 500 soldiers came down from the mountains with bloodstains all over their bodies. Although each soldier had a look of fatigue on his face, every one of them carried a strong killing aura, and the leading man was even more so, as if he had just come off the battlefield.

  "Coach, you said Lao Da hasn't come back yet?" Qian Duoduo asked with a puzzled expression.

  Wang Xiong hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "The boss hasn't come back naturally has his own things to attend to. You guys take care of the people and continue training according to the plan the boss left behind. Don't let us lose face when the boss comes back."

  "Yes, instructor." Qian Duoduo and others responded in unison.

  "Captain, General Zhang has sent an order today." Zhang Xiaohu said.

  "What order? What command?" Wang Xiong's face showed a puzzled expression.

  "Liu Shengming's mountain pass has been breached by the Dongguo army, and now three routes of Dongguo troops are marching towards Longhua City. The general ordered us to join the battle in three days."

  "Has the general ordered us to join the battle in three days?" Wang Hu's eyebrows slightly furrowed as he asked.

  "No, instructor, what the general meant was that when the time comes, we will serve as a mobile squad to provide support where there is danger."

  "You go back and report to the general, it's an order we've received."

  "Yes, instructor."

  At this moment, more than 100 kilometers away from Longhua City, a gigantic figure is descending in the midst of a dense forest.

  "Boom!" The ground emitted a faint tremor.

  "Alright, Kayan, you can transform now." Zhang Huaming jumped down from Kayan's enormous body.

  "Yes, master!" Kayan responded with a loud voice. The next moment, after the green light on his massive body's surface disappeared, what appeared before Zhang Huaming's eyes was an approximately eight or nine-year-old little boy wearing only a bellyband, with baby-like skin and an adorable face that made people want to pinch him or give him a few kisses at first sight, absolutely not making anyone think of his true identity.

  "Do you have to look so young?" Zhang Huaming blurted out, but in his heart, he was a little jealous. Damn it, this skin is really too good! What made him even more depressed was that this guy was actually more handsome than himself, how could this be?

  Kaiyan saw Zhang Huaming glare at himself, and immediately showed a wronged expression: "Master, this is my human form. If the master is not satisfied, I will change back to my original body immediately."

  "Alright, alright, forget it. From now on, don't call me master anymore, just call me brother, let's go."

  "Yes, master... brother!" Kaiden was about to respond directly to the owner, but as soon as the word "master" came out of his mouth, he saw that his owner glared at him, so he immediately changed his words and called out.

  "Alright, let's go."

  Zhang Huaming originally thought that after Karyn transformed into a human form, his strength would weaken slightly. Who knew that when this guy moved, he was actually floating in the air, completely flying at high speed. The power of a martial god is indeed the power of a martial god, an unchangeable fact.

  A hundred or so kilometers is indeed a bit of a distance for an ordinary cultivator, but for Zhang Huaming, who has reached the level of Martial King, it's just a short time to arrive.

  After a short while, Zhang Huaming and Karyn arrived at the gate of Longhua City.

  "Huh? What's going on?" Zhang Huaming had just arrived at the city gate when he discovered that something was off. The entrance of the city gate was actually crowded with people, and these people looked like refugees from their clothes and attire. What happened? It's strange.

  Zhang Huaming followed the crowd and walked towards Longhua City, while Karyn was a white tender one. The small white hand tightly grasped the corner of Zhang Huaming's clothes and followed him, probably because he was now in a very tense mood.

  "Adjutant?" A surprised voice rang out, and a general with the insignia of a regimental commander on his chest exclaimed in surprise.

  "Oh! It's Liu Shuaiwei, how did you end up on duty here? And what happened here? Why are there so many refugees?" Zhang Huaming saw the arrival and immediately recognized him as one of Qin Xiao Tian's personal guards, and asked out loud.

  "Adjutant, let's go, first to the general's place, on the way I'll explain the reason." The commander with the surname Liu immediately pulled Zhang Huaming's hand towards the main camp in the city, and began to recount the changes of the past three months.

  "Winter country?" Zhang Huaming's face showed a look of surprise. According to his original idea, Dong Guo wouldn't be so desperate as to launch such a large-scale attack, would he? Having lost an army on the way, how could they still dare to launch another attack? And wasn't there a garrison of two armies stationed at that pass? How could it have been breached in such a short time? What's going on here?

  "Ah, General Liu of Bianzhou was captured by the Mongolians."

  "What's going on?!" Zhang Huaming was shocked, to think that the Liu family wouldn't have mobilized their top experts to protect Liu Shengming. Dongguo, even with three Martial Ancestor realm cultivators, shouldn't have been able to succeed so easily!

  "It seems that I heard General Xia say before, after the defeat of Dongguo last time, Dongguo adjusted three masters to come and assist, and one of them was a super master of Wudao Wang."

  "King of Martial Arts?" Zhang Huaming was shocked again, his face showing a puzzled expression. Was Dongguo really going to fight to the death? They even sent out someone as skilled as the King of Martial Arts?

  "A staff officer Zhang?" A surprised voice rang out, and Wang Hu blinked his eyes, pinched his arm hard, took a deep breath, and confirmed that he was not seeing things. The person in front of him was indeed his staff officer. Without even greeting him, he rushed into the general's tent and shouted loudly: "General, Staff Officer Zhang is back! Staff Officer Zhang is back!"

  "General Zhang?" In the general's tent, Qin Xiao Tian's serious expression was suddenly interrupted by Wang Hu. Just as he was about to get angry, his expression paused for a moment, and then he stood up in surprise, saying: "Wang Hu, what did you say?"

  "General, Advisor Zhang is back! Advisor Zhang is back!" Wang Hu exclaimed with a look of excitement.

  "Good fellow, I knew this kid wouldn't die so easily." Qin Xiao Tian exclaimed excitedly, then strode out of the tent in big steps.

  "I have seen General under your command."

  Qin Xiaotian hastily supported Zhang Huaming, and took the opportunity to give him a bear hug. He patted his back and laughed: "Haha! Good kid, I knew you wouldn't get into trouble that easily."

  "Thanks for your concern, bro." Zhang Huaming smiled and shared this brotherly feeling.

  "Good kid, what exactly happened that day? When I rushed there, I only saw a field of corpses. Later, many more people arrived." Qin Xiao Tian asked with a serious expression after smiling briefly.

  "It's hard to say!" Zhang Huaming probed the air with his mouth, and Yu Yan's stunning face appeared in his mind. He thought to himself: "Where are you now? Are you doing well?"

  Qin Xiaotian saw Zhang Huaming's sad expression and immediately laughed: "Good kid, don't mention these unhappy things. Your brother has already helped you settle down on your aunt's side. You little guy left without a word for more than three months, but this time you're back just in time! Come on, let's go inside and talk."

  "Good."

  After entering the tent, Qin Xiao Tian only discovered that Kai Yan was following behind Zhang Hua Ming, and exclaimed in surprise: "Younger brother, who is this child?"

  "My brother." Zhang Huaming didn't know how to explain it, so he simply gave Karyn a younger brother's name.

  "Little brother?" Qin Xiao Tian's face showed a strange expression as he glanced at Karyn, but he didn't ask again. After all, everyone has their own secrets, and if someone doesn't want to say something, why force them?

  "Little brother, this time we will fight side by side."

  "Older brother, I just learned some information on the way. Is it true that this time Winter Country is coming with all its might? What countermeasures does His Majesty have?"

  Qin Xiao Tian shook his head, with a solemn expression: "Younger brother, this time Xia Guo is facing a great disaster."

  Zhang Huaming heard this sentence and his expression changed slightly: "What does this mean?"

  "Director Zhang, you are unaware that this time our Xia country will face a large-scale attack from Dongguo and Tianguo." Wang Hu suddenly responded.

  "Are Dongguo and Tianguo attacking together?" Zhang Huaming's expression changed slightly.

  "Little brother, if it weren't for this, would Dongguo have sent out that mysterious expert? Bian Guan wouldn't have fallen in just a few days, and Liu Shengming wouldn't have been captured alive." Qin Xiao Tian said with a serious expression.

  Zhang Huaming heard this and smiled: "Then what does Big Brother Qin plan to do?"

  "What plans can we make if Longhua City falls? The Xia State will be trampled and slaughtered by the Winter State." Qin Xiao Tian said with a bitter smile.

  Zhang Huaming saw Qin Xiao Tian's bitter smile, and his heart slightly moved. He smiled and said: "Brother Qin, are you worried about the Martial King of Dong Guo?"

  "En." Qin Xiao Tian nodded slightly.

  "Hehe, actually, Qin Ge doesn't need to worry about it." Zhang Huaming said with a smile.

  "Ah!" Qin Xiao Tian looked at Zhang Hua Ming, who had a smiling expression on his face, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind. He was taken aback and asked: "Younger brother, what do you mean?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "Haha! As expected, if that's the case, then Winter Country's attempt to take down Longhua City this time is simply a pipe dream." Qin Xiao Tian suddenly became delighted.

  Wang Hu and others saw that their general and the adjutant were having an inexplicable conversation, everyone felt confused, and Wang Bao, who was more impatient, spoke up: "General, what are you two talking about? Why can't we understand?"

  "Haha!" Qin Xiao Tian saw his beloved with an inexplicable expression, and he couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Wang Bao, the heavenly secret cannot be revealed."

  "All generals will follow orders."

  "The end will be there."

  "Wang Hu, you lead three battalions to garrison the left gate."

  "Yes, I will follow orders."

  "Wang Shi, Wang Bao, you two each lead three battalions to guard the remaining two gates."

  "Yes, I will follow orders."

  "Hu Tian, Zhang Sheng Mou, how about you two stay with me to guard the main gate?"

  "I will obey your orders."
