Chapter 3177: Chapter 3152: The Wolf Smoke Rises

A month later, on the Gu Dao between Lingdong and the Miracle Ridge.

"Sorry, for the next month, the Gu Dao on the Miracle Ridge leading from Lingdong to Lingnan will be closed. All warriors must return to Lingdong and can no longer enter the Miracle Ridge!" On the Gu Dao, a multitude of Shenwu Kingdom’s army controlled the checkpoints, blocking all warriors from Lingdong preparing to pass through the Miracle Ridge and into Lingdong.

"Why? You say it’s closed, and it’s closed?"

"Who do you think you are? Do you know who I am? Do you know who my father is?"

"Don’t think that just because you’re wearing a military robe, I can’t touch you. Anger me, and you’ll all die!"

A group of geniuses from Lingdong furiously shouted.

Just then, a soldier’s eyes flashed, holding a spear in his hand, walked up to the warrior, lifted him with one hand and coldly said, "Look closely at the military robe I’m wearing; it belongs to the Imperial Sky Army of Shenwu Kingdom. Don’t think it’s just you. If the Imperial Sky Army wants Lingdong gone, it only takes a morning!"

"Don’t come courting death!"

The soldier threw the shouting man directly away, causing him to fall to the ground in utter disarray.

The soldier continued, "For the coming month, not only is it impossible to pass through the Miracle Ridge into Lingnan, but all sects, families, cities within tens of millions of miles around the Miracle Ridge must migrate away!"

"If you dare to break in, you will be killed without mercy!"

"These are the orders I’ve received!"

"Did you hear me clearly?"

Before the checkpoint, countless warriors from Lingdong saw the Imperial Sky Army in strict formation with eyes flashing, filled with deep apprehension.

Many warriors turned away, leaving the Miracle Ridge and returning to Lingdong.

However, many warriors were unwilling to leave.

Not only is Lingdong evacuating warriors, but Lingnan is as well.

Several major dynasties near Lingnan, the Miracle Ridge, received orders from Shenwu Kingdom and immediately migrated en masse.

With the orders from Shenwu Kingdom in hand, these dynasties had no choice but to obey.

During this month’s time, within tens of millions of miles around the Miracle Ridge, almost all the warriors and cities were evacuated.

On the Miracle Ridge, within the Five Peaks Nine Courts, a spy hurriedly rushed in and said, "Report! Tens of thousands of Blood Fiends have surged from the seventy-fifth breach!"

Bai Xiaoxiao’s complexion tightened, sitting on the Dragon Throne, gently rubbing her forehead with a worried expression.

Below, Chu Jiangliu coldly said, "Order the Chu Family’s Army’s Ninth Brigade to guard the seventy-fifth breach!"

"According to orders!" the spy immediately responded.

Bai Xiaoxiao, sitting on the Dragon Throne, coldly asked, "How many times has it been?"

Chu Jiangliu had not yet replied.

Shang Lang then said, "It has been the three hundred twenty-first time in this month that Blood Fiends have rushed from the sealing! Recently, every day, more than a hundred thousand Blood Fiends burst forth from the sealing!"

Hearing Shang Lang’s words, Bai Xiaoxiao remained silent.

Shang Lang waited for a while, then said, "Your Majesty, it seems the Great Witch Dynasty is sensing our army’s withdrawal from the frontline, so they are showing signs of unrest. Should we send the Imperial Dragon Army back...?"

Before Shang Lang could finish, Bai Xiaoxiao opened her phoenix eyes and coldly asked, "Where is the Sword Prince?"

Chu Jiangliu said, "The Sword Prince traveled to Lingnan half a month ago and has yet to return!"

Bai Xiaoxiao said, "When the Sword Prince returns, notify me immediately. Also, Chu Jiangliu, adjust the military defenses on the Miracle Ridge at once. Upon detecting Blood Fiends breaking from the sealing, eradicate them immediately. Remember not to let the Blood Fiends escape beyond the Miracle Ridge!"

"As for Shenwu Kingdom’s frontier, send orders to let Shenwu Kingdom’s Marquis Tianqing, Marquis Tianwang, Marquis Cloud, and other marquises lead troops to the frontier!"

Bai Xiaoxiao instructed.

"Yes!" Shang Lang responded, hesitated for a moment, but then spoke, "But Your Majesty, an army leaving the territory is not a good thing. Additionally, this time, Shenwu Kingdom has withdrawn nearly two-thirds of its forces, leaving the frontier desolate. If the Great Witch Dynasty senses the situation’s subtlety, the frontier might be in danger."

Chu Jiangliu heard Shang Lang’s words and did not argue, for Chu Jiangliu fully understood.

Shenwu Kingdom’s Imperial Dragon Army, Imperial Sky Army, Dragon Pattern Forbidden Army, and Chu Family’s Army, four elite military units, nearly have two-thirds of their forces around the Miracle Ridge, leaving Shenwu Kingdom’s frontier extremely empty.

For the Great Witch Dynasty, this is the best opportunity to attack Shenwu Kingdom’s frontier.

Bai Xiaoxiao softly said, "I know! But I have no other choice. If the Blood Fiends are not destroyed, once they escape the Miracle Ridge, the rear of Shenwu Kingdom will be massacred by them. Then, Shenwu Kingdom will face the Great Witch Dynasty from the front, with countless Blood Fiends at the back, putting Shenwu Kingdom in imminent danger!"

"Right now, I can only abandon the carriage to save the king!"

"If the Great Witch Dynasty attacks, then let them have some territory!"

"After quelling the Blood Demon Chaos, these territories can be gradually regained!"

"Carry out my instructions as told."

Bai Xiaoxiao softly said.

Shang Lang nodded, "By Your Majesty’s command!"

"Additionally..." Bai Xiaoxiao turned her gaze to Chu Jiangliu and said, "Prince Chu, have the death warriors I instructed you to prepare, ready?"

Chu Jiangliu nodded, "I have prepared them!" ℯ𝕝.

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, "Good."

...

Lingnan!

Tianbao Tower!

Lin Bai sat in the secret chamber, the tea on the table long since cooled.

Lin Bai stood by the window, furrowed brows pondering.

A maid entered at this moment and, with clasped hands, said, "Sword Prince, the talisman you requested, capable of escaping tens of millions of miles instantly, is unavailable at Tianbao Tower. Not only is it unavailable in East Continent’s Tianbao Tower, but even the headquarters in the Central Holy Nation hasn’t any!"

"Such treasures would sell for a sky-high price if they existed!" the maid said.

"Is it unavailable?" Lin Bai’s eyes flashed, face showing some disappointment.

The maid continued, "Sword Prince, although Tianbao Tower does not have the talisman capable of instantaneous escape for tens of millions of miles, there are other talismans available. Would the Sword Prince consider them?"

Lin Bai asked, "What talismans?"

The maid replied, "For example, Thousands of Mile Escape Talisman, Escape Talisman of 100,000 Miles! These two talismans are relatively common, with ample stock at Tianbao Tower; of course, the price is also substantial!"

"There is also the Million Miles Escape Talisman, but such items are extremely rare. Any appearance is quickly snapped up by major powers!"

"Just now, I looked into Tianbao Tower’s stock; the Million Miles Escape Talisman is currently available at the Northern Continent’s Tianbao Tower branch. If the Sword Prince needs it, I can request the Northern Continent’s Tianbao Tower branch to send it over, which would take about two months!"

Lin Bai shook his head silently and said, "Two months is too long!"

"Even with the Escape Talisman of 100,000 Miles, if I crush ten in ten breaths, I can only escape a million miles. This speed is far from sufficient!"

"Is there truly no other way?"

Lin Bai’s complexion tightened, coldly speaking, "There is only one month left! Is there truly no other method or solution to be found?"
