The Star Luo Empire army retreated quickly, but in the end they still left hundreds of thousands of corpses on the city wall.

But Zhennanguan is definitely not that easy. This time, more than 60,000 defenders lost their lives. The 170,000-strong army now only has 60,000 troops left...

Lu Yuan and Marquis Senluo knew that repelling the Star Luo Empire army would still be of no avail. They had held on to Zhennan Pass for 25 days, and 300,000 people from the Principality of Hel would need to be evacuated later.

In other words, even if it is just to transfer the people of the Principality of Hel, they may not really need to hold on to Zhennan Pass for a month.

To be even more ruthless, most of the people in the Principality of Hull have already evacuated, and it doesn't matter if these 300,000 people don't care.

A more ruthless general would do this. After all, 300,000 people are incapable of fighting, so it is better to retain an army of 60,000 capable of fighting.

But Lu Yuan can be ruthless to soldiers. After all, it is their duty for soldiers to die in battle, but ordinary people are different.

The remaining 300,000 people must be evacuated safely. This is also for the 50,000 young and strong troops who sacrificed their lives to protect their families behind them.

That's right, all the 50,000 temporarily recruited young and middle-aged troops have been sacrificed. They had already sacrificed almost all of them in the previous four days of siege battles.

After today's battle, all of them were killed. Not only them, but also the original defenders of Zhennanguan. Now, of the remaining 60,000 troops in Zhennanguan, 80% of the surviving soldiers are from the Senluo Army. This powerful legion of the Tiandou Empire.

However, no matter what, I finally managed to survive.

All the soldiers in Zhennan Pass sat there for the rest of their lives, gasping for air and covering their wounds.

Only those soul masters who suddenly appeared to help them were still standing. They all withdrew their martial souls, and then looked at the two beautiful figures among them.

"Your Majesty," they said in unison.

"Everyone has worked hard." Yu Youxi said with a smile.

Yu Youxi and Yu Ruoxi also took back their martial souls and soul rings at this moment, and then looked around.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly when he saw this. Ning Rongrong, who was supported by him, looked at Yu Youxi and Yu Ruoxi with some curiosity, "They are..."

"Shenlong Sect, they are also some of my old friends." Lu Yuan said, while injecting part of the arcane energy into Ning Rongrong's body, allowing her to regain some strength.

"The Dragon Sect?" Ning Rongrong was a little confused. She had never heard of such a force on the Douluo Continent. "Why haven't I heard of it?"

Of course she had never heard of it. The Dragon Sect had only been established for less than ten years, and it had been active in the Kingdom of Barak.

In addition, the speed of information dissemination in this era is very low, so it is normal for her not to know about the Shenlong Sect.

"Let me take you to meet my two friends." Lu Yuan said, "Thanks to them, we managed to survive."

After saying that, Ning Rongrong and Lu Yuan walked towards Yu Youxi and Yu Ruoxi.

At the same time, Marquis Senluo also calmed down his breathing a little, and then took the lead to walk in front of the Yu sisters. From the names of the monks from the Dragon Sect, it was obvious that the Yu sisters were the leaders of these soul masters.

"Hello, ladies, I am Illusen, General Senluo of the Tiandou Empire. Thank you for your help. What do you call me?"

"Yu Youxi." Yu Youxi said with a smile.

Yu Ruoxi was a little cold, "Yu Ruoxi."

At this moment, Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong slowly came to Yu Youxi and Yu Ruoxi.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Yu Youxi and Yu Ruoxi looked at the tall man whose face was covered by blue and gold full-body armor, and couldn't help but take a step back in shock from his powerful aura.

Because the shadow armor blocked the transmission of Lu Yuan's voice, and six years had passed, his voice had also completely changed, and it was different from the past.

So for the first time, Yu Youxi and Yu Ruoxi didn't recognize him.

However, Lu Yuan's killing performance and strength on the battlefield just now are obvious to all. Although he is a Contra like Marquis Senluo, it is obvious that this tall man is the most talkative person in Zhennan Guanfang.

but……

The Yu sisters were a little confused when they heard Lu Yuan's words "Long time no see".

Marquis Senluo was also a little surprised. Could it be that these two reinforcement leaders were Lu Yuan's former friends?

No wonder...

His eyes were thoughtful.

"This general...have we met before?" Yu Youxi asked doubtfully

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, but he finally came to his senses and said with a smile, "By the way, I almost forgot."

With a thought in his mind, the shadow armor covering his whole body was immediately lifted, revealing his original face.

"Do you recognize me now?" Lu Yuan looked at the Yu sisters, smiled slightly, and said.

Looking at the familiar yet slightly unfamiliar handsome face that suddenly appeared, Yu Youxi and Yu Ruoxi opened their mouths. They didn't expect that the Lu Yuan they had been trying to find was the one who was wearing blue and gold armor and killing everyone. man.

Yu Ruoxi's eyes almost turned red with excitement. The moment she recognized Lu Yuan, she wanted to rush into his arms.

but……

When she saw the beautiful pink-haired girl next to Lu Yuan, she was stunned for a moment, and her steps that wanted to move forward stopped in place.

"Are you Xiao Yuan's friends?" Ning Rongrong also showed a decent smile at this time and said to Yu Youxi and Yu Ruoxi.

"By the way, let me introduce it to you first." Lu Yuan said with a smile.

He took the lead in reaching out to the Yu sisters and said to Ning Rongrong, "These two are two of the friends I met when I left Tiandou City to travel."

"Young and weak."

Then Lu Yuan introduced Ning Rongrong to the Yu sisters, "This is my fiancée Rongrong."

"Fiancée..." Hearing this, Yu Youxi and Yu Ruoxi both looked at Ning Rongrong with complicated eyes.

"Yes, actually I wanted to invite you to attend our engagement ceremony back then." Lu Yuan said helplessly, "But the situation at that time did not allow it."

The engagement ceremony between him and Ning Rongrong was really not suitable to invite Yu Youxi and Yu Ruoxi.

But he didn't know that even if they were invited, Yu Youxi and Yu Ruoxi wouldn't come.

In fact, Yu Youxi and Yu Ruoxi wanted to stop coming to see Lu Yuan.

In this way, their love for this boy was hidden forever and became their deepest and most precious treasure.

This is good for them and Lu Yuan.

However, when Yu Youxi heard that Lu Yuan was in danger at Zhennanguan, she couldn't help it.

So she called on the monks of the Dragon Sect and asked them to accompany her to guard Zhennang Pass.

The monks of the Shenlong Sect are very cohesive. At the same time, their teachings are to uphold justice, punish evil and promote good, and their three views are very upright.

Defending one's family and country is also a matter of integrity and in line with the three views. Therefore, more than 4,000 monks from the Shenlong Sect responded to Yu Youxi and Yu Ruoxi's call.

There are more than 4,000 monks who are all soul masters. It can be said that the current number of soul masters in Shenlong Sect is a bit scary.

Even a wealthy soul master sect like the Qibao Glazed Sect only has three thousand soul masters.

In fact, this is mainly because the cohesion of the Shenlong Sect is too high, and they are not actually a mature and complete soul master force.

It's just because of the forces gathered together by the low-level soul masters who followed Yu Youxi and Yu Ruoxi and practiced hard.

However, since the teachings of the Shenlong Sect are to punish evil and promote good, uphold justice, and rectify injustice, and most of them are low-level soul masters, wild soul masters without family sect inheritance, their cohesion is quite strong.

Coupled with the two divine dragons, Yu Youxi and Yu Ruoxi, they have indeed benefited a lot.

That's why more than four thousand soul masters responded to Yu Youxi and Yu Ruoxi's call and came to Zhennanguan to protect their families and country.

However, under the selection of Yu Youxi and Yu Ruoxi, only adult monks who are at least Soul Master or above can go to Zhennan Pass to protect their families and country with them.

But even so, they gathered more than 2,100 monks to follow them to Zhennanguan.

And most of them are soul masters at the Soul Sect level, because the Shenlong Sect's secret formulas and penance methods really stand out and allow people to improve their strength quickly.

A few years ago, no one would have thought that most of these soul masters at the soul master level were soul masters or great soul masters.

But after practicing hard with Yu Youxi and Yu Ruoxi, most of them were promoted to Soul Sect or even Soul King within a few years.

However, the most powerful members of the Shenlong Sect are only the two soul emperors, Yu Youxi and Yu Ruoxi. After all, they were born too short ago, and it is not possible for higher-end combat power to appear.

"Then I wish you all the best." Yu Youxi gently grabbed Yu Ruoxi's hand and held her while blessing Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong with a smile.

Her smile was calm, but there was a sense of unreality.

"Thank you." Lu Yuan said with a smile, "At the same time, thank you for coming to support. By the way, why do you want to come here to support?"

"Some refugees from the Principality of Hel fled to us and told us that Zhennan Pass was in danger." Yu Youxi said with a smile.

She paused, then smoothed her long hair around her ears, looked at Lu Yuan and said, "We didn't expect you to be here, we were just thinking... After all, we are all citizens of the Tiandou Empire. If the empire is in trouble, we It’s time to stand up.”

Lu Yuan nodded and said with a smile, "That's such a coincidence...and your idea is very correct. I am very grateful for your help."

"Okay..." He looked at the Zhennan Gate again, "This is not a place to reminisce about the past. Let's go down first and talk about it later. I have to treat everyone well as a thank you."

Yu Youxi smiled and nodded, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. I'll thank you on behalf of everyone."

At this time, Ning Rongrong beside Lu Yuan smiled and said nothing, but just looked at the two sisters Yu Youxi and Yu Ruoxi without anyone noticing.

Her beautiful eyes flickered, and her eyes were full of meaning.

Not far from Tiandou City, the capital of the Tiandou Empire, it is located three hundred miles east of Tiandou City. Behind it is a small village surrounded by mountains.

No one would have thought that the Haotian Sect, once known as the No. 1 sect in the world, is located here and has turned into a dilapidated appearance like a small village.

Of course, this is just a cover-up for the mountain gate.

The real mountain gate is behind the small village, and behind the village is a mountain peak.

Most of the peaks are very steep, and between the mountains there are mountain streams.

If you want to go into the mountains, climbing up and down will undoubtedly cause a lot of consumption.

If defenses were to be deployed on every hilltop, then one would have to pass through one natural chasm after another.

Even if the number of attackers is ten times that of defenders, they may not be able to attack as expected. The terrain is really too dangerous.

At the end of the mountain, reaching a height of 500 meters, there was already clouds and mist.

At the end of this mountain peak, there is an iron cable as thick as an arm, which extends into the distance. Needless to say, it should be connected to another mountain peak. The misty clouds and mist hide it very well. If you don't look carefully, it is really difficult to find it.

Although the iron rope will sway in the air, as long as you have a certain strength and can stabilize your body, you will naturally be able to walk through it.

Even a level 30 soul master can easily do this.

But if there is an enemy attack, then when the first pass cannot withstand the enemy, you can retreat to the second mountain via the iron chain, and then cut off the iron chain. In this way, not only will you have time to buffer, but you can also continue to The second mountain serves as a barrier to defend against incoming enemies.

This design is quite ingenious.

"Is this where the Haotian Sect is hiding?" Xue Beng's eye muscles twitched, then he looked at the deep stream in front of him and took a deep breath.

"Exactly." The leader of the man in black said calmly, "This is exactly the moat set by our Haotian Sect. If someone launches an attack on the top of the mountain, then even a strong man of sixty or seventy levels will be attacked." You may not be able to go up the mountain as you wish!”

There was a hint of pride in his words.

But it can't help but make people a little funny. Wasn't the Haotian Sect forced to retreat to the mainland by the Wuhun Palace?

There's nothing to be proud of.

"Okay, take me to see your sect master quickly." Xue Beng said dissatisfied.

"Wait a minute." The man in black shook his head and said,

The man in black did not move forward in a hurry, but stopped first, took out a noose from his arms, tied one side around his waist, and tied the other side to the iron rope in front of him. The other two men in gray were also doing this. doing the same action.

"Here you go." The leading man in gray threw a similar noose to Xue Beng and a strong Soul Emperor man beside him.

Then the four of them stepped onto the tightrope.

Soon, without any danger, they reached the final fifth peak.

This fifth mountain peak is also the last mountain peak to enter Haotian Sect.

The Haotian Sect, which lives in seclusion, is located on this mountain peak.

Although there are no pavilions or pavilions, looking at it, it is still a castle-like building. The building is completely gray and looks like a part of the mountain, occupying almost the entire top of the mountain.

The huge stone building is like a fortress. The main entrance is five meters high. Although it cannot be compared with the Pope's Palace, this all-stone building looks particularly solid. Above the main entrance, the three large characters carved in stone are vigorous and powerful, with a sense of A majestic and awe-inspiring place that can stand up to the surrounding mountains—Haotian Sect.
