“Father asked me to convey his gratitude to you for your efforts,” Bai Yu continued, her expression serious. “He said that without your assistance, we might have faced a much greater loss.”
Bai Feng nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. “I’m just glad everyone is safe. The Heavenly Demon Army has been relentless lately.”
“Indeed,” Bai Yu replied, her eyes narrowing in thought. “We need to come up with a solid strategy to deal with them in the future. Their attacks are growing more daring.”
Bai Feng agreed, “Let’s gather everyone and discuss our next steps. We can’t let our guard down.”
As they moved towards the command tent, Bai Yu added, “Also, I think we should consider reinforcing the defenses around the outskirts of the city. It would give us an extra layer of protection.”
“That’s a good idea,” Bai Feng replied. “We’ll bring it up in the meeting.”
With a shared determination, they stepped into the tent, ready to formulate a plan to ensure the safety of the Skyward Military City and its inhabitants.
Hearing this, Tan Yun and the others could easily guess the fierce battle that had taken place at Skyward Military City, given that Bai Cheng Divine King and the three commanders were severely wounded.
At this moment, Bai Feng inquired, “Seventh Sister, what about our Bai Family Army’s casualties?”
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu's expression dimmed, and she sighed, “The losses were heavy. Our Bai Family Army now only has over eight billion left, while the Mu Family Army that assisted us lost less than ten billion.”
After a pause, Bai Yu added, “But don’t worry, Sixth Brother. During this period, the other seventy-nine strongholds remained solid as a rock. The casualties among the outerworldly heavenly demons have exceeded four trillion.”
“Additionally, the Celestial Master sent messengers to inform Father that the two Divine Realms, Shiyuan and Chaos, also achieved victory.”
“And the outerworldly heavenly demons have suffered a great blow this time. The Demon Lord has ordered a retreat, so it’s likely that the outerworldly heavenly demon army will not invade for a long time.”
After listening, Bai Feng and everyone present let out a sigh of relief.
Then, Bai Yu flew down to the forest and approached Mu Pingchuan, clasping her fists as she said, “My father asked me to represent him and thank you.”
“Please tell your uncle that this time, the Skyward Military City was able to survive the crisis thanks to the strong support of the Mu Family Army.”
Mu Pingchuan returned the gesture, saying, “I will pass on your words to my uncle.”
As he spoke, Mu Pingchuan turned to the great divine general Bai Feng and said, “Since there’s no longer a problem at Skyward Military City, I’ll return to Wooden Beacon Military City. Until we meet again!”
Bai Feng clasped his fists and replied, “Until we meet again, take care!”
“Mm.” Mu Pingchuan nodded and turned to look at Xuan Yuan Rou, Xuan Yuan Ling Er, and Xuan Yuan Chang Feng, who were standing next to Tan Yun. “You can also join Jing Yun and head to Skyward Military City.”
Xuan Yuan Rou glanced at Tan Yun and shook her head, saying, “I still decided to return to Wooden Beacon Military City.”
Tan Yun said nothing; he respected Xuan Yuan Rou's decision.
“Rou'er, pay attention to your safety. I wish you a safe journey,” Tan Yun said, looking at Xuan Yuan Rou with deep affection.
Xuan Yuan Rou nodded, “You too.”
At that moment, Xuan Yuan Ling Er thought of Chu Xiaosa and turned to Bai Yu, respectfully asking, “Senior, may I ask if the Mu Family Army in Skyward Military City has all left?”
“Yes, they have all left,” Bai Yu replied, then looked at Tan Yun, “You are Jing Yun, right?”
“Yes, senior,” Tan Yun answered.
“I often hear my father mention you,” Bai Yu said with a smile. “Oh, right, your brother named Chu Xiaosa asked me to tell you that he returned to Wooden Beacon Military City first and will come find you at Skyward Military City when he has a chance.”
