The swallow was also drawn over by the commotion here. Upon understanding the situation, her face turned extremely grim.
“Sir, I apologize. I should have stayed by the Major General’s side at all times.”
The swallow trembled. Had Ye Kunlun not left contingencies in advance, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Ye Kunlun looked at Sasha, her eyes bloodshot and her face exhausted, knowing she had stayed by Nalan Mingyue’s side day and night.
After finally going back to rest for a while, it gave Sun Ning the opportunity to strike.
“You’ve been quite tired these past few days. Go back and rest.”
Ye Kunlun did not blame the swallow. “Nalan Mingyue should wake up soon. I have something to tell her.”
The swallow nodded. With Ye Kunlun here, she felt a thousand times at ease.
At six in the morning.
Nalan Mingyue slowly woke up. The first thing she saw was Ye Kunlun sitting by the bed, his eyes closed in rest.
Having spent two days and two nights setting up formations without rest, even though Ye Kunlun was already in the Spirit Condensation realm, he felt a trace of fatigue.
He took this opportunity to briefly close his eyes and rest, adjusting his state.
The faint light fell on Ye Kunlun’s thick, dark eyelashes, like the ultimate work of art meticulously crafted by a master artist.
Nalan Mingyue stared at Ye Kunlun, feeling for the first time that he looked so handsome.
Ye Kunlun seemed to sense her gaze and opened his eyes, meeting Nalan Mingyue’s. “You’re awake?”
Nalan Mingyue’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly averted her gaze from Ye Kunlun and softly hummed in response.
“Is there anything else that feels uncomfortable?” Ye Kunlun asked calmly.
“How long was I unconscious?” Nalan Mingyue adjusted her emotions and tried to sit up.
Ye Kunlun reached out and helped her.
“Two days and two nights.”
“You saved me again.” Nalan Mingyue knew that Sasha’s blade had struck her heart. If not for Ye Kunlun, she would have long since passed into the netherworld.
“You took a blow for me, I couldn’t just watch you die.”
Ye Kunlun stood up, looking out at the soldiers training on the training ground, “I need you to do something.”
Nalan Mingyue did not stand on ceremony. “What is it?”
“Within three hours, evacuate the residents of several towns along the border between the barbarian tribes and Huaxia.”
“Have them retreat one hundred li south with the Northern Frontier Army!”
Hearing Ye Kunlun’s words, Nalan Mingyue’s heart jolted.
She knew Ye Kunlun was about to make a major move.
Evacuating civilians was one thing, but for the Northern Frontier Army to retreat one hundred li required the approval of the Shanhe Tai.
However, Nalan Mingyue remembered that Ye Kunlun possessed the Shanhe Pendant, so she said no more.
She knew Ye Kunlun had the authority to do so!
Nalan Mingyue was curious about what Ye Kunlun intended to do, but she suppressed her curiosity.
She knew Ye Kunlun had his reasons for acting.
“Three hours is indeed a bit rushed.”
Nalan Mingyue spoke, implicitly agreeing to Ye Kunlun’s command. “I’ll go communicate with Elder Wei now!”
Saying this, Nalan Mingyue got out of bed.
If it were any other woman, having been unconscious for two days and recovering from severe injuries, she might not even be able to get out of bed.
Fortunately, Nalan Mingyue already had strong physical fitness, and Ye Kunlun had been nourishing her body with spiritual energy for the past two days.
This made Nalan Mingyue not only feel no fatigue but also feel a more concentrated power filling her dantian than ever before.
“Take this!”
Ye Kunlun handed the Shanhe Pendant to Nalan Mingyue. “You only have three hours. If you don’t complete the retreat within three hours, the entire Northern Frontier Army could be engulfed by the power of misfortune. You know what the consequences would be then!”
Upon hearing Ye Kunlun’s words, Nalan Mingyue’s expression grew serious.
“Alright, I will definitely accomplish it!”
—
Soon, the entire Northern Frontier Army was mobilized, even dividing into multiple units to head to the border towns to evacuate the civilians.
Ye Kunlun did not participate in the specific matters, as he trusted Nalan Mingyue to handle them well.
He returned directly to Kanda Town.
Yan Shuo, upon finally seeing Ye Kunlun, rushed forward. “Boss, where have you been these past two days? I’ve been looking everywhere for you…”
“What is it?” Ye Kunlun dodged Yan Shuo with a flash and raised his eyebrows as he looked at him. “Is there news?”
Yan Shuo nodded vigorously, like a pecking chicken, and then eagerly spoke, “That divine weapon is hidden among the barbarian tribes. That’s the news from our Shuoshu Pavilion yesterday.”
Ye Kunlun was not surprised by this result.
“Boss, that divine weapon is hidden among the barbarian tribes, but their defenses are extremely strict.” Yan Shuo looked troubled. “Furthermore, according to our Shuoshu Pavilion’s intelligence, that divine weapon is hidden within their temple.”
“Hmm?” Ye Kunlun showed a hint of doubt.
He had entered the barbarian temple twice and had not found the divine weapon ranked first on the Divine Weapon Scroll.
However, he had not explored the temple completely, so it was normal to have missed something.
“I’ll take you to the barbarian temple, and you can search!”
Ye Kunlun said directly.
Yan Shuo shivered, showing a strong survival instinct. “Ahem, Boss, that’s the barbarian territory. I can’t withstand the power of misfortune.”
“If you don’t go today, you won’t have another chance,” Ye Kunlun said with a cold laugh. “Let’s go!”
With that, Ye Kunlun grabbed Yan Shuo.
Before Yan Shuo could react, his vision blurred, and he was no longer in the inn.
“Aaaaah!”
In the blink of an eye, appearing in mid-air, Yan Shuo cried out.
“I, I’m flying…”
He was excited, but before he could finish speaking, his body plummeted rapidly!
Aaaaah—
Yan Shuo almost screamed his throat raw, scared to tears and snot.
The next second, they landed on the ground.
Yan Shuo’s cries abruptly stopped.
“Boss, Boss…” Yan Shuo panted, looking utterly shaken. “Where… where are we?”
“The barbarian territory.”
Ye Kunlun looked towards the temple in the distance. “That black building is the barbarian temple. Find it, you only have one hour!”
“Ah? One hour? No… wait, the barbarian temple!”
Yan Shuo finally came to his senses. His fat jiggled as he trembled. He had actually arrived in the barbarian territory.
“Don’t worry, there’s no power of misfortune for now, but after one hour, I can’t guarantee it!”
Ye Kunlun looked at Yan Shuo calmly.
He knew Yan Shuo came from Shuoshu Pavilion, and if Shuoshu Pavilion dared to claim their ability to find things was second in the world, no one would dare claim to be first!
Yan Shuo would definitely have a way to find the divine weapon hidden in the temple.
Ye Kunlun stepped towards the temple.
Although Yan Shuo was a little scared, he had no choice but to follow Ye Kunlun.
At the same time, Ye Kunlun directly transmitted a message to Kui, asking him to lead the barbarian people to retreat to the Huaxia border.
There, Nalan Mingyue would arrange for people to settle them.
Soon, the two entered the temple.
“You can search slowly. We’ll meet at the temple entrance after one hour!”
With that said, Ye Kunlun directly entered the temple space through the altar.
“I thought you had changed your mind!”
Ye Kunlun appeared, and Black God also formed his figure on the ancient tree. “You brought someone else?”
Black God’s voice was full of caution.
Ye Kunlun hummed and said calmly, “He’s going to help me find something. What, are you scared?”
“Heh.” Black God sneered. “Just a humble mouse.”
Ye Kunlun’s lips curved into a smile. “Are you ready? If you’re ready, I’m going to break the formation!”
