Yi City, the northwest border of Qin State.

  This is a dead city in the gap. To its left lies the Tuo State, which has been at odds with Qin for generations. On its right side is the ferocious Qinling Mountains. At night, you can hear the roar of beasts from within the Qinling Mountains.

  Tucheng and Qinling, with Weicheng sandwiched in between. The Mu family army stationed here not only needs to pay attention to the changes in Qinling, but also needs to be constantly vigilant for any anomalies in Tucheng.

  Such a military stronghold, however, became a desolate place due to Qin Huang's suspicion.

  Here, there are no ordinary people, most of them are exiled convicts who serve as military slaves in the Mu family army.

  In Yicheng, all life resources rely on the continuous supply of basic living materials from Ludoumu Prefecture. This is a place that is the fiefdom of the Mu family.

  When Mu Qingge first knew that her family's fief was such a ghostly place, she really wanted to pat the emperor's head and ask: "Emperor Xiao, how dare you?"

  Also thanks to Muxiong being a tolerant person, he endured it for over ten or twenty years.

  Others have fiefs, all of which scrape off the people's fat and oil to become rich. What about our household? Not only can't we collect more taxes from the fief, but we also have to put money into it.

  In the city of Yi, there is no urban market, only military barracks and fortresses.

  On the steep mountain wall near Qinling, the stronghold built on the mountain is the city master's mansion. It is also the command center of the Mu Family Army.

  To the west of Wubao, you can see the mountains and rivers of Tuguo. To the right, outside the winding city walls, is the beast domain of Qinling, which humans dare not approach.

  At this moment, the entire city of Yi is filled with the roars and howls of countless beasts. The air is thick with the smell of blood. Inside and outside the city walls, the ground is stained with blood, severed limbs and flesh scattered everywhere.

  Flames and bloodstains complement each other, turning the city into a human hell.

  Billowing smoke and flames of war, a loud bugle call suddenly sounded, echoing in the sky above the city.

  It's unclear how many times the beast tide has launched an attack, but it's slowly receding. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, the Mu family soldiers in the city are holding their damaged weapons and sitting on the cold ground leaning against the city wall to rest.

  The logistics team of cooks carried a bamboo basket between two people and distributed the cooked buns one by one.

  However, what was distributed into the hands of the warriors were not complete pancakes. They were split in half, with each person getting only one half.

  Looking at the still palm-sized pancake in their hands, some soldiers swallowed it down with a strong sense of anger. Others clenched their fists around the pancake, letting it merge with the bloodstains on their palms.

  They fought bravely on the front line but couldn't even fill their bellies.

  What's going on here!

  They were filled with anger, frustration, and sadness, each with their own negative emotions, coming in waves. If it weren't for the figure of the person they admired standing there, they would have given up long ago.

  Suddenly, on the battlefield which had become quiet due to a ceasefire, the sound of horseshoes echoed.

  This caused the weary, hungry Mochizuki army to all get up and crowd on the castle walls, looking outwards. These were the messengers' horses, their hope.

  Under the high city wall, a dusty messenger soldier dismounted and rushed towards the city gate, heading in the direction of the mountain pass fort.

  Thousands of soldiers from Mu's army stood silently, seeing him off with hope in their eyes.

  "Report!"

  The herald shouted all the way and entered the command center of the army in the castle.

  Mu Xiong, who was studying tactics, suddenly looked up and gazed at the messenger who had rushed in from outside the main gate. Due to his large movement, the armor on his body collided, making a metallic sound.

  "How?" Mu Xiong asked quietly. But his tired eyes revealed the tension in his heart at this moment.

  The messenger pressed his lips tightly, raised his head, and his red eyes were filled with guilt and self-blame. To Shang Muxiong's hopeful eyes, he said indignantly: "General, they are going to drive us to death!"

  "What exactly happened?" Mu Xiong's eyes narrowed and he hastily asked.

  The deputy generals wearing Mu's armor around him also poured their tense emotions onto the messenger.

  The messenger's lips trembled uncontrollably, his chest pounding like a drum.

  His bruised hands clenched into fists, facing Mu Xiong's inquiry, he choked and said: "The subordinate was ordered to urge the military rations, but the result was that there was no grain. However, the subordinate clearly saw that everyone in Hancheng was rich and had plenty of food. Helpless, the subordinate went to General Han Yu for help, but General Han Yu said that his own military needs were not enough, and without an imperial order, he dared not lend privately."

  "What about Commander Han?" Mu Xiong asked in a stern voice. A fierce anger was already hidden in his tiger-like eyes.

  It's not just him, but also the deputy generals on his left and right, who all have a fierce look on their faces, as if they can't wait to rush to other cities to plunder grain.

  "General Han?" The messenger's face was even more indignant: "I've gone to ask him many times, but he keeps putting it off. Every time he says he's busy preparing and tells us to wait a few more days, persist for a few more days. I don't believe him, so I secretly followed him, only to discover that every day he's indulging in pleasure and not making any preparations for military rations at all. I was furious, went to find him again, but he beat me with twenty large boards and chased me out."

  "Bastard!"

  "Bastard!"

  "This son of a turtle!"

  The messenger's words nearly caused the deputy generals to go berserk.

  Mo Xiong's face was gloomy, his lips tightly pursed into a line, without saying a word.

  "General, let's send a message to Miss Rong! If we drag on like this, our 500,000 soldiers will all die here!" A deputy general implored.

  Muxiong sighed and shook his head: "I sent a message to Ludu long ago, but there has been no response. Not only did the Emperor not respond, but even Lianrong didn't either."

  "What?!"

  "How could this be!"

  "Then isn't our ancestral city becoming an isolated city?!"

  The crowd will be shocked.

  "How can we fight without military supplies?" Some people have already begun to lose heart.

  Muxiong took a deep breath, suppressing the raging anger in his chest. His sharp eyes said, "We must fight! If we lose, what will happen to the millions of people behind us? Our Muxiong army is not for anything else, but only for the sake of our great Qin people!"

  Muxiong's words left all the generals silent.

  They are resentful in their hearts, filled with anger. But what can they do? They are all iron-clad men of the Mu family army, how can they not care about the lives of the people behind them?

  When Wei City falls, there will be no more cities in the northwest of Qin that can stop the beasts. Moreover, if Wei City falls and the Mu Family Army is destroyed, the Tuo Guo, which has been eyeing Qin, will also take advantage of the situation to invade.

  "Your Majesty, how can you not see through it?! I, your old minister, have never had a disloyal heart, why are you still so full of suspicion?!" Mu Xiong silently raised his head, the hot tears in his eyes could only be swallowed into his heart.

  Waaah——!

  The clarion call of battle rings out once more.

  This urgent horn is a signal for the beast tide to launch another attack.

  Mu Xiong's heart skipped a beat, he gathered his complex emotions and led the generals out of the room, standing on the city wall where wolf smoke was rolling.

  Roar!

  Roar!

  Ahhhooooo!

  Aaaaah!

  Ten thousand beasts rush about, a multitude of beasts roar, as if the earth itself is shaking.

  In the midst of Qinling, there are mindless beasts and spiritual beasts with certain thoughts. At this moment, the Mu family army standing on the city wall cannot distinguish which ones are beasts and which ones are spiritual beasts.

  All they saw was the crazy beast tribe attacking. Those ferocious, swift and powerful beasts were all bloodthirsty, wanting to break through the walls of the city of Yi and enter the territory of Qin to carry out brutal slaughter.

  "Defend——!"

  On the city wall, the sound of orders was constantly ringing out.

  The exhausted and starving Mochizuki army, relying on their strong willpower, barely stood up, numbly holding the almost scrapped weapons in their hands, and started fighting.

  The arrow has lost its head, the bowstring is broken, and the steel knife has a gap. The hot pot with boiling oil has dried up, and all the boulders have been thrown down.

  Arrows exhausted, provisions depleted, these four words summed up the predicament of the Mu family army at this moment.

  At this time, outside the already ruined city walls, there were countless beast tribes' armies, constantly launching attacks.

  "General, let's charge down and fight these beasts to the death!" Next to Mu Xiong, a deputy general's eyes were already filled with hot tears. He couldn't bear to see his soldiers being torn apart by the beast's claws, turning into a blur of blood and flesh.

  What's the combination? How does it combine?

  Mo Xiong's face was tense, his lips pursed tightly together.

  What if he was a high-ranking Blue Boundary? He still couldn't withstand the countless beast tribes. Moreover, among the beast tribes, the level of spiritual beasts was equivalent to that of humans. Who could know how many powerful beast tribe experts were hidden in this endless tide of beasts?

  Once he opens the city gate and leads the crowd out, there is only one outcome: the annihilation of the Mu family army and the peril of the Qin state.

  Now, the only thing that can be done is to hold on to the city wall and defend against the beast tribe's attack. Someone must be sent to urge the general to bring grain and grass, supplement the combat power, and maybe they can survive this disaster. Otherwise, these people will die without a burial!

  "Come in!" Mu Xiong suddenly shouted.

  Immediately, an orderly appeared and knelt on one knee before him.

  Mochi's eyes were fixed intently on the battlefield below the city wall, and the constant shocks caused by the beast tribe's impact on the city wall did not make him move a single bit.

  He said in a low voice: "Send me continuous envoys to urge the grain and grass in the rear. If anyone blocks, behead them without pardon!" After finishing speaking, he took out his own token arrow and threw it to the envoy soldier.

  The orderly immediately withdrew, and soon a team of orderlies rode hastily towards the nearby city of Hanzhong on fast horses.

  Hancheng is the most prosperous city closest to Yicheng, and the imperial court's inspector is also there. Muxiong watched as the messenger left, he didn't believe that the governor of Hancheng wouldn't understand what it means by "when lips are gone, teeth get cold".

  If Ye City is finished, how can Han City survive alone?

  Pin all hopes on the messenger, Mu Xiong led the deputy general back to the command room to discuss countermeasures for delaying time.

  A clever woman cannot cook without rice.

  With their arrows exhausted and provisions depleted, what means do the weary Mu Family Troops have to drag out time under the beast tribe's sharp claws, waiting for the arrival of military supplies?

  "Two days, at least two days." This was the minimum round-trip time from Yicheng to Hancheng. If the messenger's trip was successful, it would take at least two days for him to bring back grain and fodder to Yicheng. Mu Xiong stated the required time.

  However, all the generals fell silent.

  Two days? Don't even mention two days, they probably don't know if they can make it through two watches.

  "General, our soldiers have been fighting for days on end and haven't had a decent meal in three days. Their weapons are no longer usable, if we continue like this, it'll be nothing but exchanging lives for time."

  Mu Xiong painfully closed his eyes. How could he not know this principle?

  But there is no way and must think of a way.

  Mù Xióng's lips trembled with sobs, he had spent his life on horseback, experiencing countless battles. This time, however, was the most suffocating, and the one that pained him the most in his heart.

  He didn't lose to his opponent, but to the country he was loyal to.

  "Report! General Zhen and General Qiu request an audience, sir!" The orderly suddenly came to report.

  Mù Xióng suddenly opened his eyes: "Pass on." But in his heart, he had some doubts. Weren't these two severely injured during yesterday's battle?

  Two generals with blood-stained white bandages on their arms and legs strode in quickly.

  Mu Xiong hastily got up to greet them: "You two aren't taking good care of your injuries, what are you doing here?"

  Zhen General and Qiu General looked at each other, calmly saluting Mu Xiong with a fist.

  General Zhen said: "Old General, I have a plan to delay time."

  Mu Xiong's eyes lit up and he excitedly asked: "Oh? What method is it? Quickly tell me."

  General Zhen smiled slightly: "My plan is to gather all the seriously injured soldiers, led by us two, open the city gate and fight a decisive battle with the beast tribe outside the city."

  "What did you say? No way!" Mu Xiong was shocked and refused.

  How can he send his own soldiers to their deaths?

  The other deputy generals bit their lips and fell silent, with tears already blurring their eyes.

  General Qiu also smiled calmly: "Old General, we've followed you for over a decade, what haven't we seen in life and death? This time, it's the life-and-death crisis of our Mu Family Army. If sacrificing us can bring about a glimmer of hope, why hesitate? Moreover, our army has run out of medicine, even if we don't go, after delaying for a few more days, we'll all become useless people. Rather than that, let our brothers go out with a bang."

  "No! Wait a bit longer. I've already sent someone to rush the military supplies and medicine. You won't be in trouble!" Mu Xiong said, suppressing the sorrow in his heart.

  General Zhen laughed loudly: "Old General, this is not our brothers' idea. It's the idea of all the brothers lying in the medical camp. We've been lying there for days, listening to the bloody battles of our brothers on the front line, feeling ashamed! Just let us do something more for our Mu Family Army."

  Mù Xióng tightly pursed his lips, without a word.

  His tightly clenched jaws had long since gone numb with pain.

  ……

  On the official road leading to Yi City, dust filled the air as Mu Qing Ge rushed forward with her personal guard, not daring to stop for a moment.

  "Little Master, in a few more hours, we will arrive at Yicheng." A familiar guard beside him said to Mu Qingge.

  Mo Qingge's face was tense as she nodded slowly.

  Suddenly, there was the sound of horseshoes in front.

  As soon as they entered the Qin's camp, someone immediately rode out to greet them. This well-trained and highly reactive response surprised Qin Yiyao, who had been following along the way.

  "Little Master, it's Mo Yang and his men." The guard immediately said to Mu Qing Ge after seeing the arrivals.

  Mo Yang led a few people to scout ahead and now they're back, but what happened?

  Mu Qing's eyes sank slightly, and he immediately spurred his horse forward to meet him.

  "Little Master!" Moyang reined in his horse before Mu Qingge, his handsome face as cold as ice: "We found the corpse of a messenger from the Mu family army up ahead."

  Mu Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness as she said in a chilly tone, "Leave."

  In an instant, several hundred people rushed towards the place where the body was found.

  Did something go wrong after all?

  Qin Yiyao was startled in her heart and looked at Mu Qingge's back with some worry, hurrying to catch up.

  Soon, Mu Qing saw the corpses of the Mo family's military order messengers that Mo Yang had mentioned. On the official road, seven or eight bodies wearing the Mo family's military order messenger uniforms were lying horizontally and vertically.

  They experienced fierce battles before they died.

  However, there was no corpse of the opponent. It can be seen that the assassin's strength is higher than theirs.

  Who would dare to lay hands on Mu Jiajun's messenger?

  Mu Qingge dismounted and walked over to the corpses, squatting down to search them carefully.

  The miserable state of the corpses let Mu Qingge know that the battle situation in Yue City was not good, and those neat wounds also made her have some evaluation of the enemy in her heart.

  "Little Master!" Mo Yang suddenly shouted.

  Mu Qingge stood up and turned around, just in time to see Moyang hurrying towards him with something in his hand.

  Naturally, Mu Qing's gaze fell on the object in his hand.

  The iron was cast, with a sharp arrowhead on top, and the word "Mù" was written on it. "Young master, this is the old public's token arrow. It seems that something big has happened in Yì City. Otherwise, the old public wouldn't have given his token arrow to the messenger to bring out."

  Mù Qīng Gē took over Mò Yáng's token arrow and grasped it tightly in his palm. He turned around and mounted his horse: "Let's go."

  Several hundred light cavalry set out for Yizhou again. At the end of the procession, a few people stayed behind to bury those messengers from the Mu family army.

  ……

  The city walls are winding under the city, where Qinling meets, after several days of killing, it has been soaked in blood.

  Outside the city walls, 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers with varying injuries, under the leadership of General Zhen and General Qiu, formed a phalanx, becoming a human wall to block the beast tribe's attack.

  A hundred meters away, countless beasts slowly stepped forward. The tens of thousands of remaining soldiers standing outside the city were nothing more than a delicious meal in their eyes.

  General Zhen drew his steel sword and held it high towards the sky. He laughed heartily, saying: "Brothers, when we fight against humans, even if we die, we can still leave our bodies intact. But fighting against these beasts, I'm afraid that after we die, we won't be able to distinguish ourselves from them. Well! Since these beasts dare to devour us, we brothers will make them burst with full bellies, and when we arrive at the underworld, we'll have a great battle of three hundred rounds!"

  "Hoo-ah!"

  Zhen's words stirred up the morale of his troops.

  The morale of tens of thousands of remaining soldiers gathered together also shook the sky above the city.

  Muxiong stood on the city wall, gazing out at all of this, his heart aching with an unutterable pain. His hand grasping the city wall had turned the hard stone into powder. A dazzling blue light swirled around his palm.

  The morale of Mu Jiajun's army seems to have enraged the beasts.

  Their eyes gleamed with ferocity, their sharp teeth bared, they let out a fierce howl and charged towards the several tens of thousands of remaining soldiers.

  Ten thousand beasts charged forward, and amidst the beast tide, faintly visible were flashes of red, orange, green, blue, and other colors.

  When he saw those lights, Mu Xiong's eyes were filled with despair.

  He knew that these tens of thousands of soldiers would never come back.

  "Brothers, charge!" General Qiu and General Zhen raised their steel knives high and led the crowd in a charge towards the beasts, engaging in an unprecedented white-blade battle with them.

  Humans and beasts clashed together, the chaotic battlefield allowed this side of the city wall to greatly reduce pressure.

  However, all the Mu family soldiers standing on the city wall were filled with grief and indignation, their hearts burning with a fierce beast that constantly roared, their blood-red eyes full of hatred staring at the beasts that had torn their brothers to pieces and swallowed them whole.

  The crowd of generals stood around Mu Xiong, witnessing all this with their own eyes.

  They would have liked to jump down themselves and fight it out with those beasts.

  Everyone had their hands on the hilt of the waist sword, shining with various lights.

  "Old General, let's fight it out!" A soldier shouted at Mu Xiong.

  "Ahhhhh! Let me go too! Waaahhhh..."

  "These beasts — beasts!"

  "General, we request your order, let us fight alongside our brothers below!"

  Soldiers, each with tears streaming down their faces, the fierce anger in their chests had already burned away all their rationality. At this moment, they didn't want to care about the common people anymore, didn't want to continue struggling on, only wanting to jump off the city wall and fight shoulder-to-shoulder with their comrades.

  "General Lao......" The deputy officer closest to Mu Xiong held back tears in his eyes and turned to look at him.

  Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and stretched out his hand in shock towards Mu Xiong, shouting: "General! What's wrong with you?"

  His majestic and powerful body, like steel, stood tall. At this moment, it became unsteady. He raised his hand to block the deputy's outstretched hand and wiped away the fresh blood oozing from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

  He was not injured but vomited blood due to heartache.

  Let him watch his own soldiers go to their deaths, just to delay the time for those who are still alive. This pain is far more painful than torturing him, thousands of times, tens of thousands of times.

  Unable to bear it any longer, Mu Xiong let out a 'pu' sound, and fresh blood spurted out of his mouth, spraying into the air.

  "Grandpa!"

  A cold and urgent voice suddenly came, making Mu Xiong's eyes widen, turning to look at the red-clothed boy rushing towards the city wall.

  He narrowed his eyes and shouted: "What are you doing here!"

  Mù Qīng Gē pressed her lips together and didn't speak, in her clear eyes there was only the bloodstain left on Mù Xióng's mouth corner.

  Behind her followed Qin Yiyao, and five hundred imperial guards. The soldiers of the city also followed behind, he wanted to report, but his speed was no match for the young master.

  "Grandpa!" Mu Qingge instantly arrived by Mu Xiong's side and supported him.

  "What are you doing here?" Mu Xiong asked with a stern tone and a hint of anger in his eyes.

  "I've come to see my grandfather." Mu Qing Ge replied calmly.

  "Ah!" Mu Xiong's heart skipped a beat. At this moment, he also saw Qin Yiyao following behind, and suddenly felt a blackout, with an overwhelming urge to rush forward.

  "Get out of here! Get out of here! Scram back where you came from!" Mu Xiong cursed fiercely.

  But Mu Qing Ge has come, how can he easily return?

  She turned her gaze towards the battlefield outside the city walls. When those defeated soldiers came into view, her clear eyes suddenly contracted, filled with shock.

  "They... they..." Qin Yiyao also saw this scene, and muttered in disbelief.

  It seems to be shocked by the real battlefield, and also seems to ask why those who are fighting bloody battles below are all crippled soldiers.

  The deputy general who first discovered Mu Xiong's mistake explained voluntarily: "Mu's army has been fighting bloody battles in Yicheng for several days, and the military grain and grass have long been empty. The supply was delayed, and the wounds of these generals could not be treated. In order to delay time for us and wait for supplies, these warriors volunteered to leave the city and exchange their lives." By the end, he was already choked with sobs and unable to speak.

  "How could this be?" Qin Yiyao covered her lips with both hands, and tears quickly welled up in her shocked eyes.

  She thought she was in the imperial family and could know the cruelty of war. But when she saw it with her own eyes, she was still shocked by the Mu Family Army and moved by those selfless wounded soldiers.

  "Why hasn't the military supply arrived?" Mu Qing's voice was extremely low and cold.

  Another sneered, "We don't know how many messengers we've sent out, but the replies all say there's no grain. This is clearly someone intentionally making things difficult, wanting to use these beasts' hands to wipe out our Mu Family Army."

  In Mu Qing's clear eyes, a cold glint was even more evident.

  Behind her, the Imperial Guard who followed her had already been stirred up by the bloody battlefield in front of them.

  As soon as Mu Qing's order was given, they dared to jump into the midst of the beasts and slaughter these animals!

  "Before General Zhen and General Qiu left the city, the old general had already sent a messenger with an order to demand grain. This time, I wonder who else dares to make trouble!" The deputy general slapped his palm on the city wall in anger, as if venting his hatred.

  When she heard his words, Mu Qingge's eyes flashed, and the token arrow in her arms was not taken out.

  "Song, take the princess and leave immediately." Mu Xiong suddenly said to Mu Qing Ge. His eyes were filled with determination: "After you return, find your aunt at once, and leave Qin Country forever, never to come back again."

  His words were transmitted in a low voice, and only Mu Qingge could hear them.

  Mù Qīng Gē looked at him, the determination in his eyes made her heart ache. She didn't know if it was her own emotions or the remnants of her past life. However, no matter what, since she had come here, she would never let Mù Xióng get into any trouble.

  She slightly raised the corner of her lips and said to Mu Xiong, "Grandfather, those soldiers under the city wall are all good men. You can bear to let them go to their deaths, but Qing Ge cannot."

  As soon as she finished speaking, she instantly broke free from Mu Xiong's control, jumped onto the city wall and leaped down.

  Everyone only saw a figure in red clothes, like a poppy flower of stunning beauty in the color of blood, falling gently from the sky...

  "Song Er——!" was the first reaction of Mu Xiong.

  He stretched out his long arm, seemingly wanting to grab Mu Qing's sleeve and pull her up, but unfortunately, only air slipped through his fingers.

  Bang bang bang!

  The sound of Mu Xiong's voice had not yet dissipated, and the five hundred imperial guards who came with Mu Qingge also jumped onto the wall one after another, chasing after Mu Qingge's footsteps without hesitation.

  Suddenly, on the city wall of Yi Cheng, a orange-yellow light flashed and fell abruptly, entering the battlefield.

  "Protect Young Master!" Mo Yang shouted. Five hundred and one people immediately surrounded Mu Qing Ge, protecting her tightly.

  The city wall was already shocked.

  Among them, Mu Xiong was the most shocking.

  The five hundred people brought by Mu Qingge, others didn't know, but he was the clearest. Three months ago, these people were all in the Red Realm, now they are actually all in the Orange Yellow Realm!

  This... this...

  Qin Yiyao woke up from her shock and looked at the seductive figure under the city wall. She gritted her teeth and also jumped down.

  "Princess!" Mu Xiong grasped at air again in shock.

  He almost lost it right there!

  "General, what shall we do?" asked the deputy general beside him.

  Can't help but say, Mu Qing's action of jumping down the city wall made them admire. However, they also didn't forget that Young Master was not allowed to cultivate. He just jumped down like this, wasn't he delivering food to the beasts?

  However, they forgot that Mu Qingge was the first to jump down and landed safely on the ground.

  Mu Xiong had not yet spoken when he heard Mu Qing's high-pitched voice coming from below the city wall: "Protect my ass! Follow Lord Husband and charge in to rescue people!"

  Little rabbit!

  Mo Xiong's eyes were wide with excitement.

  He fell on the city wall, just as reason was being consumed by emotion and he was about to recklessly order the opening of the gate to save people, when he suddenly calmed down.

  Damn it! Has he gone blind?!

  He actually saw a bright green light bursting out of his own grandson's body. That green light, in the blood-red world, was particularly striking.

  He couldn't believe it, so he rubbed his eyes and looked at Mu Qing again, only to see that the green light on her body was not decreasing but increasing. That's a solid Green Boundary Initial Stage!

  "Green Boundary! The young master is actually a Green Boundary expert!"

  "My goodness! Am I dreaming?"

  "Hahaha! Young Master is actually a Green Boundary expert. With such talent, who dares to call him trash again?"

  "Little Master!"

  "Little Master! Little Master!"

  On the city wall, the Mo family army reacted and suddenly shouted in unison. It seemed that it was their glory!

  "He... how..." Qin Yiyao was stunned by the green light in front of her.

  She looked incredulously in Mu Qing's direction, shocked to the point of forgetting where she was.

  He's actually a Green Realm? I'm just a mid-stage Yellow Realm and yet I thought of protecting him. How laughable. A sense of despair rose from the bottom of Qin Yiyao's heart. At this moment, she forgot about Mu Qingge's useless body and also forgot to ask her why she suddenly became a high-ranking Green Realm expert. She just felt that she was so ridiculous and unnecessary here.

  Whoa——!

  Warm and pungent blood splattered in front of Qin Yiyao, startling her awake.

  She raised her eyes and found Mu Qing Ge right in front of her.

  "The latter coldly said: 'Standing there without making a move, are you trying to die?'"

  Although the words were cold, Qin Yiyao felt a warmth in her heart. The beast corpse that had fallen at her feet was already split in two. 'He still cares about me, so he can take action in time, right?' This realization calmed Qin Yiyao down, and with a wave of her long sword radiating yellow light, she swept the light towards the beast claw that was sneaking up behind Mu Qingge.

  In an instant, the beast's claws shattered, and hot blood splattered on Mu Qingge's back, like a bloody rain. Amidst the cruelty, there was a beauty that was as deadly as poison, stunning to behold.

  Qin Yiyao's eyes flashed with astonishment, but she quickly reined in her emotions amidst the sounds of slaughter all around.

  She grasped her long sword and instinctively guarded Mu Qing's back, shielding her from the attacks coming from behind.

  That unspoken understanding made Mu Qing's eyes move slightly, flashing a hint of tacit agreement, and the green light in his hand moved again.

  Mochi is a Green Realm, but she also knows various killing techniques.

  Almost every time he strikes, he reaps a life.

  Behind her, there was also Qin Yiyao's cover, and the two cooperated to instantly kill a bloody path. Her 500 personal guards, led by Mo Yang, were divided into units of 100 people each, and launched a pincer attack from five angles, like a drill bit, drilling into the battlefield, tearing apart the chaotic battlefield.

  Fierce and swift reaction speed, unhesitating execution, left Mu Xiong on the city wall in shock.

  He couldn't believe that in just three months, his grandson, who was considered a good-for-nothing and a spoiled brat by everyone, had turned ordinary soldiers into such an elite force.

  And what's with their mysterious and magical weapons?

  Sharp-eyed Muxiong had already seen the magical weapon that had achieved great success on the battlefield, and without exception, they all came from the fivefold guard of Mucheng.

  In an instant, the surviving remnants were already gathered behind the 500 Imperial Guards.

  A gleam flashed in Mu Xiong's eyes, he raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Open the city gate and let our brothers come in!" At the same time, he also drew out his own sword, jumped onto the city wall, and directly leaped down to join the battlefield.

  His grandson was bravely fighting in front, how could his grandfather hide in the city like a turtle with its head shrunk back?

  Murong didn't give the order to attack outside the city, he just jumped out alone, representing himself rather than the entire Murong army.

  Then he jumped down with his biggest head, how could others bear it?

  Almost at the same time Mu Xiong jumped down, those deputy generals also drew their swords and jumped down. The soldiers guarding the city opened the city gate to receive the wounded soldiers while joining the battlefield.

  In an instant, the forced defense turned into an active offense.

  The fervent song of Mu Qing ignited the frenzy in the hearts of all the Mu family soldiers. They charged into the battlefield like a storm, forgetting that their weapons had dulled and could no longer cut through flesh, forgetting that they had not eaten a full meal for several days.

  When knives can't cut through, they use their teeth.

  The Mo family army, having abandoned their steel blades, disregarded their own flesh and blood, using their teeth to savagely tear the skin and flesh from the bodies of the beastmen.

  It's a brutal fight.

  Here, there is no longer a distinction between humans and beasts, only victory or defeat!

  Mo Qingyu's song grew more mournful, her eyes increasingly calm. Before she had arrived, she had learned from Mu Lianrong that this beast tide seemed not to be simple. After arriving here, what she saw with her own eyes made her feel even more so.

  These beastmen are like they want to recklessly charge into the city of Yi.

  What is it that's driving them so crazy?

  And how can she calm down this riot?

  Kill all the beast tribes? This is simply impossible. In Qinling, there are at least tens of millions of beast tribes. Let alone her small Green Realm, even if one day she becomes a strong Purple Realm cultivator, and these beast tribes line up for her to kill, it would take hundreds or thousands of years to finish killing them all.

  Mochizuki's song was like a sharp knife, directly inserted into the center of the beast group.

  Qin Yiyao was already feeling a bit strained, but still used all her strength to protect Mu Qingge's back.

  Five hundred imperial guards closely followed her, clearing a path around her.

  The surviving remnants have been incorporated into the city. Mu Xiong shattered a yellow boundary spirit beast with one palm, raised his head and looked up, but found that red-clothed figure in the distance.

  He was startled and immediately shouted: "Ge Er come back——!"

  The sound entered Mu Qing's ears, and she heard it, but couldn't pull herself away.

  This time, she was taking advantage of the sorrow in the hearts of the Mu family's army. As the saying goes, a grieving soldier will always win! Looking at the remnants of the city below, they had already been suffocating with pent-up fire in their hearts for a moment of respite.

  So under her vigorous efforts, she would burst out with astonishing fighting strength.

  However, if we retreat now, the beast tide will return soon. Whether we can muster up the strength to fight again at that time is hard to say.

  She didn't forget that Mu's army hadn't eaten for several days and had no effective weapons.

  And she had not forgotten that the messenger sent by Muxiong had long been dead. The token arrow representing Muxiong was still tucked in her bosom, and there would be no reinforcements coming.

  So this time, she must scare off these beasts and make them dare not approach the city of Yi for a short period of time.

  In the depths of her eyes, a resolute color emerged.

  The singer's movements were even faster than before.

  "Light song, we can't go any deeper." A anxious voice came from beside Qin Yiyao's ear.

  For the first time, such a high-intensity battle had left this princess's arms numb and her body stained with countless bloodstains. The once aloof ice queen now seemed more like a goddess of slaughter.

  Mo Qing stopped in his tracks and shouted: "Mo Yang!"

  Mo Yang turned around and killed a lone wolf with one slash of his sword before quickly arriving at Mu Qing's side.

  "Take the princess and retreat, all of you." Mu Qing Ge ordered in a cold tone.

  Mo Yang was taken aback and didn't immediately agree.

  Qin Yiyao was also shocked and grabbed her arm, shouting: "What are you going to do?"

  Mo Qing looked at her calmly and asked, "Are you willing to believe me?"

  Qin Yiyao was stunned, those clear eyes made her unable to refuse. At that moment, she felt that as long as it was Mu Qingge who said the words and made the promise, they would definitely come true.

  She nodded subconsciously.

  Mo Qing's lips curled up slightly as he said faintly, "If you're willing to trust me, then follow them and leave. What I'm going to do next, you'll find inconvenient to watch."

  Qin Yiyao relaxed her arms around Mu Qingge.

  "Mo Qing!" Mu Qing shouted.

  Mo Yang pursed his lips and pulled Qin Yiyao back.

  To follow Mu Qing Ge, the first and foremost condition is to learn absolute obedience.

  Five hundred Imperial Guards retreated in shock, leaving only Mu Qingge alone among the beasts, continuing to fight.

  The beasts covered, Mu Xiong saw that the Imperial Guard was retreating and thought that Mu Qing Ge was also among them. His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, gradually let go.

  At this time, all beasts are raging and venting their anger on those who are still killing each other in the center.

  The red-clad enchantress, fierce as fire, radiant as the sun. Her slender hands dance in the air, calmly reaping lives.

  After making sure that Mo Yang, Qin Yi Yao and the others had walked far away, Mu Qing Ge suddenly pulled back. The corners of her mouth curled up into a seductive and sinister smile: "Let's give them something shocking."

  As soon as her voice fell, she swung out with both hands, and her ten fingers fluttered quickly. With her hands as swords, she stirred up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and a mysterious and terrifying aura descended from the sky, as if summoned by her...

  Rumble, rumble, rumble!

  Suddenly, thunder rumbled and echoed through the sky above the city.

  The thunder made Mu Xiong look up.

  At this time, Mo Yang and others had already retreated back to the city gate.

  Murong Xiong quickly searched for Murong Qing's figure in the crowd, but found none.

  "Mo Yang, where is your master?" Mu Xiong asked directly, grabbing Mo Yang.

  Mo Yang's face looked unpleasant as he turned his head towards the beast group: "Young Master ordered us to return first."

  "What!" Mu Xiong's eyes widened in shock, and he almost choked Mo Yang to death.

  At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened. The originally clear sky was covered by dark clouds, which were so low that they seemed to be about to fall to the ground.

  This strange phenomenon made all the Mo family soldiers forget their actions and look up at the sky, including Mu Xiong.

  The beasts in the pack also gradually calmed down, but they all surrounded Mu Qingge and did not retreat.

  Suddenly, more and more beast tribes walked out from different directions, their bodies all faintly glowing with a blue-green light. Some of the blue lights had even turned purple.

  Low-level spirit beasts and wild beasts began to retreat. Those left behind were all spirit beasts that transcended the boundary of Mu Qing Ge.

  Their cold and ruthless eyes were all staring tightly at Mu Qingge.

  Vibrant red clothes like blood became the only reflection in their pupils.

  Flesh-covered fangs, sharp claws, and a ferocious aura surrounded Mu Qingge tightly.

  Mo Qingxue sneered inwardly, never expecting herself to attract so many big shots.

  In the dark clouds, lightning flashes intermittently.

  It seems that the power has been accumulated long ago, and it only waits for Mu Qing's order to descend from the sky.

  Suddenly, Mu Qing felt a gust of wind brush past her ear, and a tall figure in black appeared before her.

  "It's you!" Mu Qing's eyes narrowed. She recognized this person, the one who was by the demon's side, the one who had appeared in the imperial palace before.

  Gu Yanzhou looked at Mu Qingge with a headache, feeling the violent aura of the thunder at the horizon, and said in a low voice: "The Holy Master asked me to stay behind and secretly protect you. With your current abilities, even if you triggered the Thousand Thunder Decision, you would lose all your strength and be unable to resist. Your current realm is not enough to defeat all the spiritual beasts here with the Thousand Thunder Decision. At that time, you will become their food in their mouths. I'll take you away first."

  Mu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly as she shook her head in refusal: "I won't go."

  Gu Ya frowned and said in a low voice: "You're using your life to make a joke."

  "Isn't it because of you? Just wait until I'm exhausted, then take me away again, won't that do?" Mu Qing Ge suddenly raised the corner of his lips and smiled.

  Alone on the precipice, without words.

  Mochou Ge's stubbornness made him feel powerless.

  But what can he do?

  So he could only vent his frustration on the beasts in the forest.

  He suddenly appeared, making some of the spiritual beasts wary. However, he suddenly went on a killing spree, enraging the beasts, who charged at him recklessly, wanting to tear him apart.

  With the solitary cliff facing the attention of the beasts, Mu Qing's pressure suddenly decreased. She concentrated her mind, and the green spiritual energy in her hand was like a thin gauze covering.

  Rumble, rumble, rumble!

  The thunder fell, Mu Qingge looked up, her black hair flying.

  "Qian Lei Jue——!"

  As soon as her voice fell, countless small snakes of electricity fell from the dark clouds and smashed into the beast group.

  Roar!

  Aaaaahhhh!!!

  The herd of animals struck by lightning let out painful cries, some didn't even have time to make a sound before dying instantly.

  This stunning scene shocked the humans on this side of the city wall.

  In that apocalyptic scene, their eyes were all fixed on that figure in fiery red clothes.

  After a blow, Mu Qingge's face suddenly turned pale and bloodless. His lips also lost their color.

  Gu Ya suddenly appeared beside her, reminding her with his mouth, but his eyes couldn't hide the surprise: "You've exhausted your strength by launching such a large-scale Thousand Thunderbolt Technique, you can't make another move. I'll take you away!"

  Mù Qīng Gē slowly shook her head, her tightly pursed lips speaking in a low voice: "I can still come again!" Not giving this group of beasts a chance to catch their breath, how would they give up attacking the city?

  As soon as her voice fell, she gathered up the remaining spiritual energy in her body and launched a high-level heavenly martial art - Thousand Thunderbolt Technique!

  The electric snake fell suddenly, but its scale was much smaller than the first time.

  Mu Qing's eyes still had a lingering chill, her hands were wrapped in electricity, and she clenched her fists to strike out.

  Having lost her spiritual power, she still had special abilities! She didn't believe that she couldn't intimidate this group of beasts!

  ……

  Deep in Qinling, the central region.

  It should have been a paradise for beasts, but now there isn't even one spiritual beast in sight, nor is there any sign of their presence.

  Deep in a cave, a surprised "huh?" suddenly came through.

  "What's wrong?"

  "That voice suddenly said: 'In this Lower Realm's third-rate country region, there is actually someone who possesses a Heavenly-level martial skill.'"

  "What's so strange about that? Although top-notch martial skills are rare here, they're not unheard of. Maybe it was just a coincidence." The voice said nonchalantly.

  Suddenly, he said again: "No! I seem to have smelled the scent of spiritual root."

  "What are you kidding me? This broken place will have a spiritual root? I know your nose for treasure is useful, but let's not delay. Drive the beasts away, if we delay too long, we might attract attention from other parties. By then, who knows if this treasure will still belong to us two or not."

  The sound faded away.

  On the edge of Qinling, outside the city of Yi, Mu Qingge exerted her last bit of strength to kill a spirit beast of the same rank as hers, and then her entire body went limp and fell.

  The beasts have fallen into a panic, yet they still charge towards Mu Qingge.

  It seems that only by killing the person in front of them can they dispel their fear.

  Gu Lanyue was also entangled by many spiritual beasts at this moment and couldn't rush over in time.

  In the midst of crisis, Mu Qingge only felt waves of murderous intent rushing towards him, almost as if he was about to be hacked to pieces a thousand times over!

  Just as she was about to touch the ground, she suddenly fell into a warm embrace.

  That warm feeling was like the first sunlight shining brightly, its dazzling white light enveloping her, and no one could hurt her.

  "Little Song, you're being naughty again!" The familiar voice and fragrance wafted into her ears.

  For some reason, after hearing this voice, Mu Qing Ge suddenly felt relaxed all over and fell asleep peacefully in his arms...
