Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"Master! Master! The general's power is back!"

Qi Ningli knelt atop the giant ice dragon's head, her hair disheveled.

Dust still stained her face, but could not hide the wild joy in her eyes; she shouted toward Bai Qi in the destiny array below.

She knew better than anyone what her master had just been doing.

He was gathering all his power and that of his guards, preparing to detonate together and completely destroy the activated planet threatening Fang Hu Xian Zhou.

The price for doing so would be his life and the lives of all his guards, leaving not even bones behind.

Bai Qi's motion of gathering power in his hand suddenly paused.

He slowly raised his head, looked toward the ice dragon in the sky, and at once saw the familiar fox ears atop the ice dragon's head, clearly hearing Qi Ningli's shout.

The corners of his mouth, originally tense, curled into a barely perceptible softness, and the heaviness in his eyes dissipated by more than half.

Bai Qi no longer hesitated, slowly withdrawing his gathered power along with the power on his guards; his tone remained stern, but lacked a few points of decisiveness as he sternly barked:

"Qi Ningli! Why aren't you sending the device yet! What are you talking about!"

"Yes! Yes! Master!"

Qi Ningli's teardrops instantly slid down, dripping onto the ice dragon's head; the cold teardrops concealed extreme joy.

Ignoring her tears, she quickly took out the Fifth Army's token and loudly ordered toward the Shenwu Army below:

"Commander Bai has ordered: launch the device immediately!"

Below, the destiny array around Bai Qi had already quietly vanished.

The guards watched the array dissipate, a hint of regret they could not hide on their faces; one of them muttered in a low voice:

"Sigh~ We could have died heroically in battle, our names enshrined on the Hero's Monument for later generations to revere."

"You're an idiot, can't you see Leader Bai is still here?"

Another guard beside him raised his hand and slapped the back of his head, while giving him a look signaling him not to talk nonsense.

"You're the idiot!"

That guard retorted unhappily, his tone carrying a bit of stubbornness:

"We're almost at that age; rather than humiliatingly falling into demonic yin, I'd rather die on the battlefield and leave a heroic name!"

His words had just finished when a super thick blue laser instantly shot out from Fang Hu Xian Zhou's weapon firing port, carrying the frigid power of the Hunt, straight toward the activated planet at the sky's edge.

The moment the laser struck the activated planet, that strange planet suddenly emitted countless distorted, strange sounds.

There were angry roars, despairing wails, and a trace of barely perceptible gratitude, intertwined, resounding above Fang Hu Xian Zhou.

In just a moment's effort, that activated planet, under the constant erosion of the Hunt's power, crumbled and dissipated bit by bit.

Finally turning into cosmic dust filling the sky, it completely vanished into the starry sky.

Bai Qi raised his head, confirmed the activated planet was completely "dead," with not a trace of power remaining, then slowly turned around, looking at the guards beside him, and ordered in a deep voice:

"The war of Fang Hu Xian Zhou is over."

"Immediately go persuade the remaining enemy army to surrender; if anyone wastes words again, you won't get onto the Hero's Monument, but you will have a share in cleaning the public toilets of the whole Shenwu Xian Zhou!"

"Yes!"

The guards dared not speak further, hurriedly put away the regret on their faces, accepted the order in unison, mounted their horses, and galloped toward the remaining battlefield.

Han Yuan Jun controlled the giant ice dragon, slowly descending; the ice dragon's body, at the moment of landing, gradually became transparent.

Qi Ningli immediately jumped down from the ice dragon's head, lightly landing on the ground; her light armor collided with the ground, emitting a faint sound.

"Master~!"

She quickly ran to Bai Qi's side, embraced his arm in one go, her face full of reliance and joy.

Bai Qi helplessly shook his head, raised his hand, gently rubbed Qi Ningli's hair, no longer stern as before.

Han Yuan Jun withdrew the ice dragon; her figure slowly dissipated like snowflakes, and when she appeared again, she was already standing not far away.

Her jade foot lightly tapped the ground, yet beneath her feet seemed separated by an invisible distance.

As if stepping on cold frost, a faint cold aura surrounded her whole body.

"Commander Bai, please come with me to the Heavenly General Conference."

Han Yuan Jun's tone was light, her voice clear and cold, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, as if the great battle just now had nothing to do with her.

"Mm."

Bai Qi lightly responded, then rubbed Qi Ningli's fox ears again, released her arm, and instructed:

"Go; I have important matters to attend to; take care of your own safety."

Qi Ningli smiled and nodded, her eyes full of obedience, then ran to Bai Qi's dark horse's side and mounted it.

The dark horse sensed that the breath on its back was not its master's; its whole body's muscles tensed, and it subconsciously wanted to launch a backlash to throw Qi Ningli off.

It turned its head, looked at Bai Qi; seeing Bai Qi slightly nod, it reluctantly snorted, slowly moved its hooves, and galloped toward the distance.

Bai Qi and Han Yuan Jun looked at each other, with no extra words; simultaneously activating their projection devices, their figures instantly vanished from Fang Hu Xian Zhou and appeared in the Heavenly General Conference Room.

The two had just appeared when their brows simultaneously furrowed.

Inside the conference room, the atmosphere was so heavy it made one breathless; the air seemed frozen, without the slightest sound.

Fei Xiao, Li Chunxiao, and Mo Du stood neatly beside General Yue Yu, their expressions equally solemn, without the slightest joy of a great victory on their faces.

The battle of Yao Qing Xian Zhou had already been a great victory; moreover, this time it was a true and complete annihilation of the Bai Lang clan.

From now on, in this Huan Yu, there would only be fox people with the orthodox identity of the Xianzhou Alliance, and never again the deformed, deceitful Bai Lang race.

Plus, Fang Hu Xian Zhou returned in triumph, completely destroying the Activated Planet and crushing the flank forces of the Abundance Allied Forces.

Yet these two battle reports, beautiful to the extreme, left all the Heavenly Generals present with stern expressions, not a hint of a smile.

Especially Jing Yuan; at this moment, he was practically like one who had entered a demonic yin body, his surrounding aura cold and piercing to the bone, sitting there in silence.

Fu Xuan, standing beside Jing Yuan, felt that Jing Yuan at this moment was terrifying beyond measure.

"Han Yuan Jun, Bai Qi, you have come."

The Marshal sat in the Zhu Wei seat, speaking in a flat tone, obviously not in the mood.

The Aeon of Destruction meddling was bad enough, but now even Harmony has stepped in; this gave her an endless headache, feeling that the position of Marshal was at an end at a glance.

Bai Qi quickly stepped forward and saluted the Marshal with clasped fists.

Han Yuan Jun merely nodded slightly, counting it as a salute, still wearing that cold and aloof appearance, without a word of extra speech.

Han Yuan Jun keenly sensed that Bai Qi's expression carried a hint of barely noticeable anxiety.

She knew Bai Qi was worried about Xuan Ge's safety, but constrained by his identity, he could not overstep to ask questions, and could only suppress the worry in his heart.

After pondering for a moment, Han Yuan Jun spoke first, breaking the silence in the Hui Yi Shi:

"Everyone, with such a great victory, why do you all wear such expressions?"

She paused, her gaze sweeping over the audience, her tone carrying a hint of confusion:

"Could it be that Shenwu Xian Zhou has fallen? Or that General Shenwei has met with trouble?"

These words were like a fuse, instantly igniting Jing Yuan's suppressed anger.

Jing Yuan stood up; in his golden pupils, crimson was fully revealed, his gaze locking tightly onto Jing Tian standing in the corner, his tone ice-cold, carrying a sky-toppling question:

"Jing Tian Taibu, why do you stand rooted to the spot without saying a word?"

After speaking, his gaze swept over Yao Guang to the side; obviously, he was also waiting for Yao Guang's answer.

Jing Tian lightly sighed, his face full of helplessness and guilt forcibly endured, as if he had aged several hundred years in an instant.

He felt that even if he jumped into the Void, he could not wash clean the sins on his body.

Right from the beginning of the great war, he had performed a divination, and the hexagram showed that the death calamity he had been entangled with for many years had actually vanished into thin air.

At that moment, he knew Xuan Ge had met with trouble.

No need to think to know that Xuan Ge had taken all the cause and effect upon himself, and at the same time, had also drawn away the death calamity cause and effect that originally belonged to him.

This should also be one of the opportunities that drew the attention of the Harmony Aeon Xi Pei.

As for other opportunities, he did not know.

Jing Tian smiled bitterly in his heart; he felt that in this life, meeting Xuan Ge was both a fortune and a misfortune.

The fortune was that Xuan Ge helped Yao Guang cure his illness, able to give Yao Guang a stable expectation;

The misfortune was that he, because of this, indirectly harmed Xuan Ge, causing Xuan Ge to bear countless extremely ominous portents.

"Master?"

Fu Xuan looked at her master Jing Tian's pained and guilty expression, and felt a little panicked in her heart.

A terrible thought rose in her heart:

Could it be that the weird cause and effect on General Shenwei's body was bestowed by her master?

If so, her master would have to bear a grave crime never recorded in the laws of the Xianzhou Alliance.

Compared to this matter, the Yin Yue Rebellion of the past could only be counted as a small firecracker.

Harming a Heavenly General-level figure, and even nearly causing his fall, this sin was comparable to the complete fall of a Xian Zhou, enough to make Jing Tian suffer eternal calamity.

"It was me, exactly."

Jing Tian slowly raised his head, and respectfully clasped his hands toward Jing Yuan.

He then turned to Fei Xiao, Li Chunxiao, Bai Qi, and others, clasping his hands to each one by one, his expression guilty and resolute.

He concealed nothing at all, nor made any excuse at all, his voice heavy, carrying endless guilt:

"It was I who harmed Xuan Ge, causing him to bear countless extremely ominous portents, harming him so that he nearly fell."

As the words fell, the Hui Yi Shi once again fell into dead silence.

Everyone's gaze gathered on Jing Tian, with various expressions.
