As far as the eye could see, the soldiers who had previously attacked the city were all lying on the ground!
And their highly anticipated 20 Innate Experts were nowhere to be found!
Hulao Pass remained unscathed; the city gates had not been breached. The defending soldiers were still intact, and the Great Wu armys banners fluttered high in the wind, as if nothing had happened.
Crown Prince Xia Tianqiong of Great Xia was dumbfounded!
Great Xias commanders were dumbfounded!
Great Xias soldiers were dumbfounded!
After a while, Xia Tianqiong finally managed to stammer, This whats going on? Can anyone tell me where theyve gone? Where are they?!
An unimaginable foreboding surged within him!
Crown Prince, look over there!
A commander pointed at a spot, shocked, and said, That person seems to be Black Tiger!
Black Tiger Wheres Black Tiger? Xia Tianqiong followed the direction of his finger, gazing intently.
He saw a bloody corpse lying among a heap of bodies, eyes wide open, the expression of death refusing to close them.
Xia Tianqiongs whole body trembled, This is Black Tiger What happened to him?
Crown Prince, it seems hes been killed by someone!
Xia Tianqiong trembled again, Hes a Fifth-Rank Innate Expert, who could have killed him?
Crown Prince, I dont know
At this point, another person pointed at a spot, Crown Prince, look there! It seems to be General Giant Wolf!
Xia Tianqiong looked over immediately and saw another bloody corpse. His chest appeared to have been pierced, blood flowing out, staining the surrounding grass.
Hes Giant Wolf! What happened to him? Xia Tianqiong asked excitedly.
Crown Prince, it seems hes dead too, killed by someone
Impossible! How could this be? How could he have been killed? Xia Tianqiongs face paled, and he roared in anger.
Crown Prince, look over there. It seems to be Master Zimo. It seems hes dead too!
Crown Prince, that body seems to be Sly Foxs
Crown Prince
As one body after another was identified, everyones morale grew increasingly dismal and sorrowful.
Until finally, the bodies of the 20 Innate Experts were all recognized.
Each death was quite horrifying, all of them pierced through the heart by someone else, their faces twisted in a grimace.
Theyre dead Theyre actually all dead! Xia Tianqiongs face turned ashen as paper, his lips trembling. Seated on his high horse, he seemed unsteady, as if he might topple at any moment.
Take care, Your Highness! The commanders all said in unison.
How can I take care of myself? These were my most trusted and beloved generals! Theyre all dead, all of them! Im heartbroken, do you even understand? Xia Tianqiongs eyes were red, and he let out a furious roar.
These were 20 Innate Experts!
Innate Experts, no matter where they were, were not just easily expendable!
Each one was a formidable existence, capable of taking on thousands single-handedly, an unparalleled powerhouse amidst a sea of troops!
Such experts were exceedingly rare; even ten thousand warriors might not produce a single Innate Expert!
He would rather sacrifice 200,000 troops than lose 20 Innate Experts!
Crown Prince Everyone felt equally sorrowful and distressed, unsure of how to console him.
Xia Tianqiong exclaimed emotionally, Tell me, who exactly killed them? I must avenge them! I absolutely cannot let them die in vain!
Everyone shook their heads, sighing, unable to find words to say.
At this point, who else could have killed them?
Isnt it obvious?
Clearly, Crown Prince Xia Tianqiong was a bit confused and incoherent in his anger!
Just then, Night Fragrance, who had returned in triumph to Hulao Pass, waved his hand and called out, Green Hat Prince, have you received the gift I sent you? Twenty corpses, surprising and delightful, arent they?
Xia Tianqiong roared in fury, My trusted and beloved generals you killed them? Tell me, was it you?
Night Fragrance was a bit stunned. After all, they had all collectively participated in the killing. Why was he being solely blamed?
But upon careful consideration, he realized that these 20 individuals did indeed die by his hand.
So, he nodded, fanning himself while wearing a smug grin, Exactly, it was me! Like slaughtering little chickens, one by one, I sent them to meet the King of Hell! Ive never killed so efficiently before, haha!
Xia Tianqiongs eyes turned bloodshot, his chest filled with overwhelming killing intent!
So, youre the ringleader!
The hatred of these fallen generals was beyond reckoning!
Xia Tianqiong pointed his spear at Night Fragrance atop the city gate and shouted, Guards, go kill that madman for me!
Night Fragrance taunted, Come on, come on, do you think Im afraid of you?
Provoked, Xia Tianqiong grew even angrier, Kill him for me! Hurry!
Calm down, Your Highness. We would only be walking to our deaths if we went. He must have unique methods to have killed 20 Innate Experts. Dont act recklessly until we understand.
Your Highness, stay calm, dont be impulsive!
Everyone began to offer advice.
Realizing that he couldnt let his men die in vain, Xia Tianqiong turned to a seemingly ordinary old man standing nearby, and with a touch of respect, said, Elder Black, please help me kill that madman!
This old man was the Grandmaster tasked with protecting the Crown Prince.
Elder Black shook his head, I cant kill him! His lightness technique is exceptional. If he could have been killed, he wouldve been long ago.
Xia Tianqiongs eyes turned crimson. He pointed at Tiger Prison Pass and gritted his teeth, Since we cant kill Night Fragrance, then help me wipe out Great Wus Innate Experts! Eliminate them all, tit for tat!
Elder Blacks expression remained calm as he refused, Crown Prince, your request goes too far! I promise His Majesty to ensure your safety, but I wont get involved in anything else.
But they killed my generals, I need to avenge them!
Elder Blacks demeanor was indifferent, People die, so what? Who in this world can escape death?
Which Innate Expert hadnt emerged from a sea of corpses and bloodshed?
He had long grown indifferent to such matters. These dead people had nothing to do with him, and their deaths wouldnt affect his interests. Why should he avenge their deaths?
Taking action might even be seen as bullying the weak and losing face.
Xia Tianqiongs eyes were filled with disappointment and resentment.
Being respected and revered by the court, these Innate Experts were even out of his fathers control. He couldnt command them at all.
Seeing the plummeting morale of his army and realizing that further battle was inadvisable, Xia Tianqiong said reluctantly, Withdraw! Order the troops to withdraw!
Great Xias army temporarily retreated.
The generals and soldiers of Tiger Prison Pass erupted in cheers, We won! Weve repelled Great Xia!
We won this battle!
What a miracle!
This battle was perilous, and victory was hard-earned! General Zhaos face was flushed with excitement as he loudly proclaimed, Tonight, Ill host a feast to treat you all. We wont return sober!
Thank you, General Zhao! everyone cheered.
During the feast, Night Fragrance, the biggest hero of this operation, received toast after toast, becoming the most radiant figure in the room.
Night Fragrance was so happy, so proud, and so inflated, its beyond words!
He alone killed 20 Innate Experts and scared off 800,000 fierce lions of Great Xia!
This battle was enough to boast about for a lifetime!
After returning to the capital city, he would definitely be idolized by the whole city once again!
Come, lets drink!
Lets drink to our hearts content!
When he returned to his room to rest at night, he ran into Lin Beifan.
Lin Beifan smiled and spread his hands, saying, Night Fragrance, shouldnt you return my little knife now?
Night Fragrance pretended to be tipsy, speaking in a muddled manner, What what are you saying I dont know what youre talking about Im drunk lets talk about it tomorrow!
Since youre drunk, Ill just take it myself! Lin Beifan chuckled and beckoned.
A small knife flew out from Night Fragrances sleeve and landed in Lin Beifans hand. Night Fragrance was suddenly alarmed and reached out, saying, Hey! My knife! My knife
Seeing Lin Beifans ambiguous smile, he gave a wry smile and retracted his hand.
Lin Beifan sneered, It seems youre not drunk! If youre not drunk, then its simple. I have a task for you tonight!
Night Fragrance exploded, A task at this late hour? Ive achieved great merit today. Cant you let me rest? Im a human being, not a beast!
This task can only be entrusted to you! Lin Beifan said, Among us, youre the strongest at level 400, with excellent lightness technique, skilled in disguise and stealth. Who else can I ask? It would be better to finish this battle sooner and go back.
Fine, tell me what the task is! Night Fragrance nonchalantly shook his head.
This task is simple! Lin Beifan whispered, I want you to go into the Great Xia military camp and cause some minor disruptions! Like killing a few Innate Experts, burning supplies, and so on. If you could capture Crown Prince Xia Tianqiong, even better!
Night Fragrances eyes nearly popped out in shock, Is this simple? Are Innate Experts so easy to kill? If they were that easy, they wouldnt be Innate Experts! You want me to burn supplies? Those supplies are heavily guarded. How am I supposed to burn them? And capturing the Crown Prince
Night Fragrance gave Lin Beifan a disgruntled glare, Just say you want me dead!
Lin Beifan was a bit annoyed and pointed to his chest, saying, What are you saying? How could I bear to let you die? How do you see me? Know that Im the one in the entire world who cant bear to see you dead the most!
Night Fragrance felt a bit moved, Lord Prefect, you
Only if youre alive can you continue to help me amass wealth! If you die, wont I lose a source of income?
Night Fragrance exclaimed, Damn!
He had been naively moved just now, but youre still that cunning Lin Beifan!
You want to squeeze me to death, so greedy!
Night Fragrance shivered in anger.
Dont look at me like that. While Im greedy, I have principles. Im always generous to my own people! Heres the deal: if you follow orders and successfully complete all tasks on this mission, Ill give you this small knife!
Lin Beifan pulled out the knife and tossed it back to Night Fragrance. Night Fragrance caught it, his spirits lifting, Really?
Why would I lie to you? You wont lose anything in the end!
Night Fragrance thought for a moment and nodded, Fair enough! A gentlemans word is as good as his bond.
Lin Beifan echoed, A gentlemans word is as good as his bond.
Watching Night Fragrances excited figure leave with the small knife, Lin Beifan chuckled to himself.
I managed to sell you so easily, this feels great!
This little knife, I can get as many as I want, hehe!
