Tens of thousands of Baijing Kingdom warriors were headless dragons, momentarily dazed, standing still in their place.

They never expected that someone as strong as Bai Jianfeng couldn't even block a single sword strike from Xiao Yi.

At the same time...

The ground thundered with vibrations.

Dust and smoke rolled in the distance; banners pierced the sky. It was Gu Junhe leading the eighteen thousand-strong army of Tianqing Kingdom from Babao Pass to assist.

When they saw from afar the congregation of Baijing Kingdom warriors inside the camp, Gu Junhe's expression suddenly changed, "This is bad, Xiao Yi must have been surrounded by them... The lad is too reckless, no matter how strong he is, how can he contend against hundreds of thousands of troops?"

As he thought, Gu Junhe's expression turned increasingly grim.

Whoosh!

He fiercely pulled out his weapon and roared, "Bai Jianfeng, if you dare harm a single hair on Xiao Yi, I swear to explode myself to take you down with me!"

"Kill!"

"Protect the Guardian Martial God..."

In that moment, the entire eighteen-thousand-strong army of Tianqing Kingdom was furious, rushing towards the enemy camp with utmost speed.

However...

When they truly approached the Baijing Kingdom camp, they all froze in shock.

The Baijing Kingdom camp was in shambles, corpses strewn everywhere. The tens of thousands of soldiers, upon seeing their ferocious charge, were shedding their armors and weapons. Some surrendered right there, others fled in complete disarray; where was the ferocity and fierceness they had displayed earlier?

Amidst the crowd, neither Xia Yuan nor Bai Jianfeng, the two Tao Tribulation Realm powerhouses, could be seen.

"What, what's going on?"

"You, you look... Isn't that Xia Yuan's body?"

"Damn... it can't be, can it?"

Everyone felt as if they had been struck by lightning, their faces filled with disbelief.

All of them couldn't help but entertain a wild idea that emerged in their minds.

This idea was even somewhat terrifying!

"It can't be possible, can it?"

"If it's true, then, then haven't we won?"

Boom boom boom!

The eighteen thousand cavalry charged wildly, how could the soldiers of Baijing Kingdom, who had lost their will to fight, be their match?

Like a landslide, defeat was imminent!

A moment later.

Gu Junhe arrived at the central command tent, and Xiao Yi had been waiting there for quite some time. Seeing Gu Junhe arrive, his face broke into a radiant smile, "Dean, congratulations on your grand victory over the Baijing Kingdom's camp!"

"You lad..."

Gu Junhe felt a warmth in his eyes, understanding that Xiao Yi was attributing the credit to him!

He hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Xia Yuan and Bai Jianfeng..."

Xiao Yi nodded his head.

Gu Junhe took a sharp intake of breath and sized up Xiao Yi. After a moment, he shook his head with a wry smile, "Incredible, truly incredible..." A year ago, when he first met Xiao Yi, the latter was just a little guy in the Shentong Realm, and now he stood at a height that even he could hardly reach. "Are the people of the Xiao Family blind? Such a genius, yet they treated him as trash? Even Xiao Tianjiao is no match for Xiao Yi!"

```

Ah!

Gu Junhe exhaled deeply, his gaze complex as he looked at Xiao Yi, "Had I not seen it with my own eyes, I truly could not believe that someone could achieve such terrifying accomplishments within a mere year!"

Xiao Yi shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Just luck!"

"Luck?"

Gu Junhe rolled his eyes, "How come I never have such good luck?"

Xiao Yi spread his hands in a helpless gesture.

Gu Junhe said in a deep voice, "Now that the Baijing Kingdom's power is waning, should we take advantage of our victory and pursue them?"

Xiao Yi shook his head, "We have already conquered Tianlan and Qingyun; it is not advisable to make a move on Baijing and Sihai Kingdoms for now. Let them jump around for a few more days! Moreover...I killed the seventh prince of the Great Jin Kingdom, so at the earliest in one month, and at the latest in three, the Great Jin Kingdom will arrive at our doorsteps. Our priority should be to consolidate our strength and deal with the Great Jin Kingdom!"

Gu Junhe, with a confused expression, asked, "The Great Jin Kingdom?"

That was known as the strongest power among the more than one hundred subordinate countries under the Great Qian Dynasty.

There was even a saying, 'Below the Great Qian, the Great Jin reigns supreme.'

The Great Jin Kingdom had countless powerful warriors, including the Golden Crow Guards who were reputed to be worth ten each and an army said to number five million.

Even if it were just an ordinary army, that was five million people!

After such successive tough battles, the Tianqing Kingdom's army of a million had diminished to about half. Even with three months' respite, dealing with the Great Jin Kingdom would be extremely difficult, or even utterly impossible!

Xiao Yi, on the other hand, smiled and said, "Don't worry, I already have a plan. And this time, while indeed it is a calamity for the Tianqing Kingdom, it is also a big opportunity... If we succeed in overthrowing the Great Jin Kingdom, from then on, it will be 'Below the Great Qian, Tianqing reigns supreme'!"

"Below the Great Qian, Tianqing reigns supreme?"

Gu Junhe's body shook, and he suddenly felt his blood boiling, as if a fierce battle were raging within him.

As a warrior born and bred in the Tianqing Kingdom.

He naturally very much looked forward to witnessing his own country's rise in strength.

If they could truly replace the Great Jin and become the strongest nation under the Great Qian Dynasty, their names would be forever etched in the history of the Tianqing Kingdom.

With this thought in mind.

Gu Junhe nodded vigorously and said, "Although your idea is extremely crazy... if one is not crazy in youth, they are wasting their years. I'll be crazy with you this one time!"

Xiao Yi said, "I am sure you won't be disappointed, Chancellor!"

In his mind, Xiao Yi recalled the medicinal pills previously developed by Xue Bufan. The recipe had been personally given to Xue Bufan by him. Although there had been some mistakes in its development, as long as Xiao Yi took action, it could be perfected. With Xue Bufan, the undead doctor, and Xiao Yi himself working on it, the plan could certainly be executed perfectly.

Once it was possible to elevate tens of thousands of the Tianqing Kingdom's soldiers to match the Golden Crow Guards, who would then dare to compete under the Great Qian Dynasty?

Subsequently...

Gu Junhe took over the tens of thousands of soldiers captured from the Baijing Kingdom, incorporated them into the ranks, and, after handing over the responsibility of guarding Babao Pass to Cheng De, he set off on the road back to the capital with Xiao Yi.

As Xiao Yi and the others left Babao Pass.

In another battlefield of the Tianqing Kingdom, Yu Huaxian led twenty thousand Azure Dragon Guards in support of Jiang Weisheng. They slaughtered their way through, coordinating from inside and outside, and completely routed the tens of thousands of soldiers from the Sihai Kingdom. The tactics of the Azure Dragon Guards and Yu Huaxian were far beyond what the Sihai Kingdom's army could match. Defeat was like a landslide, and, after this battle, Tianqing Kingdom's perilous situation was temporarily averted.

Out of the four kingdoms that had declared war on the Tianqing Kingdom, two had been destroyed.

The remaining Baijing and Sihai Kingdoms had also suffered heavy losses; within their countries, barely a tenth of their forces remained.

At this point, the rulers of Baijing and Sihai Kingdom had no more thoughts of currying favor with Xue Yilou or waging war against the Tianqing Kingdom. They were already planning on how to please the Tianqing Kingdom to avoid the fate of devastation like Tianlan Kingdom and Qingyun Kingdom.

These two kingdoms could no longer stir up any trouble.

Meanwhile...

Xiao Yi, Gu Junhe, Yu Huaxian, Jiang Weisheng, and others had already made their way back to the capital, one after another.
