This Colonel is truly unfathomable; the battle at Tianxiong Pass has just ended, yet he slew countless demons, spanning the vast distance from south to north.

As if he had three heads and six arms!

This has left some troublemakers on edge, fearing their secrets will be exposed and dreading the thunderous sound of hooves outside their doors, trembling anxiously.

Now, the Ninth Mountain’s prestige is more glorious than ever; the city residents hold great respect for the Ninth Mountain, while those who withdrew regret deeply.

Withdrawing means they’ll never have another chance.

Consider the corpses of those over a hundred Heavenly Pass demons, they are treasures that could not be imagined; the demon flesh will surely cultivate countless strong warriors, benefiting the soldiers of the Ninth Mountain!

"Everyone leaves; you were given a chance, so who can you blame!"

Gao Yu glanced at their expressions, swung his cloak, and vanished from the spot.

At this time, within the Ninth Mountain Military Camp, the troop led by Lu Ming trotted straight across the training field to the base of the Commander’s Platform.

"Whoa....."

Lu Ming pulled up his reins, his horse neighed loudly, raising its front hooves, stopping abruptly, then he swiftly dismounted, climbing the Commander’s Platform straight to the tower behind.

With his movement, two figures emerged sequentially from the tower, both dressed in red armor, none other than Liu Qing and Yun Tiansheng.

Lu Ming quickly approached them to join.

"Why the urgent call for me to return, what’s happened?"

"Behind the Ancestor Mountain in Taiping County, a mountain appeared out of nowhere, shrouded in mist and inaccessible. It’s said the locals saw a crimson-colored large bird a few days ago appear suddenly above the mountain and dive in!"

"According to the locals’ description, it bears some resemblance to the divine bird the General mentioned at General Mountain, and the dates of appearance match up, one before the other!"

Lu Ming moved swiftly, with serious eyes, inquiring why the two hurried to call him back, and detailing his findings from Taiping County investigations.

Back when the General left Jingguan City, astonishing celestial phenomena erupted three hundred miles west at General Mountain, with a crimson fire bird resembling the legendary Heaven and Earth True Spirit Fire Wind. After the General resolved matters at General Mountain, messengers from Tianxiong Pass arrived informing of his departure. Before leaving, he instructed them to continue seeking the fire bird’s trail along General Mountain.

Later, more than eight hundred miles southeast at Taiping County, troops reported locals seeing a similar large bird charging into the newly appeared mountain!

This newly appeared mountain was heard of when following the General’s orders to investigate celestial changes. Outside Taiping County lies the Ancestor Mountain, which saw strange celestial formations shortly after a snowfall descended, resembling a mirage, leading to an unfamiliar mountain suddenly manifesting in the void behind the Ancestor Mountain!

This is the origin of the matter!

Lu Ming hence personally led troops to investigate, blocked information, and upon arrival found the mirage quite bizarre, including mist swirling around the Ancestor Mountain, causing those stepping into it to feel like they were trapped in endless loops.

Only when he was about to delve further did Yun Tiansheng urgently summon him back to the Ninth Mountain.

"Leave this matter for now!"

"No matter how big it is, it cannot be bigger than the General’s!"

"Let’s head to the mountain first!"

Liu Qing spoke up, then started ascension.

"Has the General returned?" Lu Ming followed suit, with his dark broad face showing a hint of excitement; the General was their anchor.

"Tiansheng, speak!" Liu Qing frowned.

Lu Ming also frowned, sensing an odd atmosphere, unconsciously glancing toward Yun Tiansheng.

Yun Tiansheng remained calm, faced Lu Ming’s inquisitive glance, and began explaining the current circumstances, concluding:

"The General’s whereabouts are unknown now, likely remaining within the Ten Thousand Mountains."

"Given that near four days have passed since the General went missing, if he opened a breach in the teleportation route during that battle and ended up outside Ten Thousand Mountains, his divine skills should have brought him back by now, yet there’s still no news. Hence, we can only brace for the worst!"

Lu Ming, upon hearing this, furrowed his brow deeply.

"You mean we can confirm through the General’s contracted demon that his life isn’t threatened currently, only it seems he’s located possibly in Ten Thousand Mountains?"

"Correct!" Yun Tiansheng nodded.

Lu Ming’s mind partially eased, then his eyes flickered, recalling something:

"Did you both forget something?"

Liu Qing and Yun Tiansheng almost spoke in unison, "What is it?"

"I recall then when the General was severely injured on the Demon Battlefield repelling the Great Martial Vault Demon, recuperating at Fulong Ridge, some sect elders were aiding his recovery. Someone from our Ninth Mountain played a crucial role: the elder who accompanied the General from Qingshan County, Tiansheng, do you remember when the General’s Primordial Spirit was unrestored, this elder through a sculpture manifested a clone for you to chant and slay enemies?"

"This elder evidently possesses considerable cultivation but holds no position within the military. After the troops returned from the battlefield, post passing Chuanzhong Pass, this elder vanished from the camp."

"I believe this elder could be a breakthrough; perhaps we should seek him."

He doesn’t suddenly recall, rather the elder’s presence within the camp seemed peculiar; some matters felt strange, yet even as the closest three under Chen Yuan, they knew little of this elder’s identity.

Listening to his words, Liu Qing and Yun Tiansheng showed peculiar looks, their eyes filled with contemplation.

Yun Tiansheng realized, recalling someone who might provide clarity on this puzzle.

"Considering that the elder followed the General from Qingshan County together."

"The person we are about to visit might offer answers."

"A word of advice: this individual holds significance for the General."

"Let’s go!"

Saying this, their pace accelerated, heading for the snow-covered summit of the Ninth Mountain.

Lu Ming felt bewildered and quickly followed.

It wasn’t long before the trio bypassed prohibitions, reaching the mountaintop, going toward the backyard of the Ninth Mountain Colonel Hall.

Passing maids and armored soldiers saw them swiftly stepping aside and saluting.

The trio moved swiftly, through winding bridges toward the backyard of the Colonel Hall.

Before entering, their ears caught sword qi slicing through the air..

Upon stepping through the archway, the trio of Cavalry Captains saw a woman in red dress amidst the swirling snow, holding a green peak, sword light fierce, with closer inspection shows each tiny falling snow slashed in half where the sword passes!

The red dress stood out in the white snow with bold grace!

Sensing newcomers, the lady in red swiftly sheathed her sword and stood erect, sweeping her energetic brows and eyes over.

"Military Officer Lian!"

"This is Liu Piaoqi, this is Lu Piaoqi."

"We three come to pay respects to the elder!"

With that, Yun Tiansheng stepped forward slightly bowing to Lian Nichang.

Lian Nichang had seen the two others in Qingshan County before, nodded slightly, "Follow me!"
