Among the vast territory of Shenwu Kingdom, only the southern border is close to Dayue Kingdom.
There are two checkpoints on the southern border, one is the Nanning Pass at the forefront, which is the first point of the Dayue Kingdom's attack.
After passing Nanning Pass, you are entering the southern border of Shenwu Kingdom.
The second level is Jiayue Pass.
After passing Jiayue Pass, you can go directly to the Imperial Capital.
Jiayue Pass is the last pass in the southern border. If it is broken through by the Dayue Kingdom, the army of the Dayue Kingdom will go straight to the imperial capital.
By then it will no longer be a dispute. If it is not handled properly, the Shenwu Kingdom may be destroyed by the Dayue Kingdom.
Therefore, the current war situation in the southern border is not very optimistic.
And now the army of Dayue Kingdom has broken through Nanning Pass and is rampaging through the southern territory, massacring cities and plundering various cultivation resources.
The Big Moon Kingdom's expedition to the Shenwu Kingdom can be said to be the biggest war between the Shenwu Kingdom and the Big Moon Kingdom in hundreds of years.
The journey from Lingjian Sect to Jiayuguan is not far.
After Lin Bai picked up a fast horse from the Lingjian Sect, it only took him three days to reach Jiayuguan.
The next night.
Lin Bai's horse came to a dense forest.
"Calculating the distance, we should be able to reach Jiayuguan tomorrow morning."
Lin Bai looked at the sky and saw that it was very late.
The horse on the side had been galloping for two consecutive days, and it had consumed a lot of energy, with a look of exhaustion on its face.
Lin Bai smiled slightly and said, "Since you are tired, let's take a rest."
Lin Bai patted the horse's back and said lightly.
"I don't know what the situation is like at Jiayuguan."
Lin Bai said with some worry.
A fire was lit in the forest, and Lin Bai sat down, but the horse had already fallen to the ground from exhaustion and fell asleep.
Lin Bai took out the letter written to him by the eldest princess Bai Xiaoxiao from his storage bag, especially when he saw the sentence "Lin Bai, I need you" on the third letter.
This sentence made Lin Bai feel that Bai Xiaoxiao must be in a desperate situation.
Otherwise, with Bai Xiaoxiao's strong temper, she would never say such a thing.
"I'll be here soon." Lin Bai held the envelope and said firmly.
Swish swish!
At this moment, suddenly there was a sound of trampling leaves in the forest.
Lin Bai suddenly became alert. With a sweep of his palm, he extinguished the fire in front of him. He immediately stood up and looked into the dark forest.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
At this moment, sharp arrows shot through the air in the forest.
With a bang, a figure flew out of the darkness and landed at Lin Bai's feet.
This was a man in black. He saw Lin Bai and shouted to Lin Bai: "Save me, just me!"
Lin Bai asked: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The man in black said: "I am the Sirius Legion of the Shenwu Kingdom. On the order of the eldest princess, I went to the imperial capital to ask for help. I didn't want to be ambushed just after I left Yueyue Pass. There were eight of us, and now I am the only one left.
Alive."
"You went to ask for help." Lin Bai hurriedly helped the man up.
call out!
Suddenly at this moment, a sharp arrow flew out of the darkness and shot directly into the man's back.
Lin Bai's eyes were as bright as lightning, and he quickly reached out to grab the sharp arrow and firmly grasped it in his hand.
"They want to kill me, but they won't let us ask for help." The man in black suddenly exclaimed when he saw Lin Bai grabbing the sharp arrow.
"Who are they?" Lin Bai asked curiously.
"I don't know, I don't know, they seem to know our whereabouts. As soon as we move, they will immediately notice it." The man in black said quietly.
"It's okay, you have a good rest here and I'll go take a look."
Lin Bai helped the man in black up and leaned against the tree trunk.
Suddenly, Lin Bai's eyes looked into the dark forest.
"Sword Intent!"
Lin Bai closed his eyes, and the sword intent spread out immediately, covering the entire forest.
The sword intent clung to every leaf, allowing Lin Bai to clearly feel all the people lurking in the dark in the forest.
"There are twenty-five people in total, all of whom are at the first level of Tianwu Realm."
"Hmph, I really want to see who wants to intercept the eldest princess's messenger for help!"
Lin Bai took a step forward and rushed into the dark forest.
The messenger who asked for help hurriedly shouted to Lin Bai: "Young hero, be careful, these people are not easy to deal with."
brush!
Lin Bai rushed into the forest, and his speed immediately increased, like a beast in the dark, looking for their prey!
"Huh? Strange, where did that kid go?"
In the dark, an attacker exclaimed, and he watched helplessly as Lin Bai disappeared from in front of him.
"Are you looking for me?"
Just when he was extremely surprised, Lin Bai's cold voice sounded in his ears.
The man's face changed drastically, his eyes widened, and when he turned around to look, he happened to see Lin Bai's cold cheek.
"die!"
When this person discovered Lin Bai, he immediately rushed out angrily and struck Lin Bai on the chest.
"Who are you, and why do you want to assassinate the eldest princess's messenger for help?" Lin Bai asked coldly.
"Hmph, go to hell and ask the King of Hell." The man sneered and charged away at Lin Bai.
Lin Bai's eyes changed, and there was a hint of cold murderous intent in his eyes.
With one slash of the sword, a sword light that penetrated the sky and the earth struck.
The man was knocked away and hit a big tree.
"Tell me, who sent you here?" Lin Bai put the tip of his sword against the man's throat and asked.
"Kill me, I won't even tell you until you die." The man said stubbornly.
Lin Bai sneered and said, "I won't let you die so easily."
Immediately, Lin Bai walked up to this person.
"What do you want to do?" the man exclaimed.
Lin Bai smiled coldly.
"Search for souls!"
Lin Bai struck down angrily with his palm, pressing it on the attacker's head.
This person is at the first level of Tianwu Realm. How could he be Lin Bai's opponent?
As the soul search unfolded, the memories in this person's mind flashed past Lin Bai's eyes in an instant.
Soon, Lin Bai found this person's identity information.
"Zhang Shui, under the command of Zhan Ying of the Qi Family Army of the Shenwu Kingdom, is the tenth commander of the reconnaissance battalion!"
Lin Bai let go of the attacker and chopped off his head with a sword.
"Sure enough, Prince Qi was up to something and assassinated all the messengers sent by the eldest princess to ask for help. No wonder the eldest princess kept asking for help from the imperial capital but failed to get any support."
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Lin Bai's mouth, and he immediately scanned the entire forest. There were still more than twenty attackers swimming around.
Needless to say, these people should all be members of the Qi Family Army.
"Since you are all members of the Qi Family Army, then go to hell."
Lin Bai's body skills were like lightning, and he started teaching them quickly in the forest.
"Sir, are you okay?"
"Sir?"
Many attackers realized that they had not heard Zhang Shui's instructions and immediately screamed.
Puff! Puff!
Ahhhhh——
At this time, icy sword lights flashed through the dark forest, followed by screams.
The messenger looking for help saw the sword light flashing continuously in the forest, with a look of horror on his face.
After the sound of the film, Lin Bai slowly walked out of the darkness.
The messenger asked for help hurriedly: "Young hero, are you okay? Where are the attackers?"
"Don't worry, everything has been resolved."
"Can you still ride your horse now?"
Lin Bai asked the messenger asking for help.
The envoy for help said: "No problem, even if I die, I will send the secret letter to the imperial capital. Otherwise, once Jiayue Pass is lost, the Shenwu Kingdom will be in danger."
Lin Bai said: "That's good. You ride my horse to the imperial capital. You must see His Majesty, give him the secret letter, and ask him to quickly send troops to support Jianyue Pass."
"And I will go to Jiayue Pass now to help the princess defend it."
The envoy for help said: "Thank you so much, young hero, for your help. This place is not very far from the imperial capital. I will arrive in four days as quickly as possible. I will meet your majesty then."
"I believe the reinforcements will arrive at Jiayuguan within ten days."
"Ten days..." Lin Bai narrowed his eyes, feeling that these ten days might not be so easy to pass.
