The wounded soldiers remaining in place glanced into the distance, spanning several miles.
Many had lost arms, legs, or even half their bodies devoured by demons, leaving only half a body groaning on the ground.
Zhen Nan Pass opened wide, while many civilians and military doctors organized to treat the wounded soldiers, carrying them back inside Zhen Nan Pass one by one.
As for those who could not be moved, bodies were gathered on the spot, preparing to bury them in a scenic place with gravestones.
Most of these troops were originally under Nangong Lie, but that was then; this ti, they wielded blades against the demon clan for the Central Plains under his command.
All of them are good sons of South State, worthy of eternal rembrance.
Before marching to battle, Chen Yuan promised all soldiers that those who died in battle would receive double compensation, and their families would be supported by Chen Yuan's Yan King Mansion.
Disabled soldiers would also be enrolled as auxiliary troops, with uncompromised compensation and positions arranged according to circumstances, ensuring these disabled soldiers have sothing to rely on.
All survivors would be honored for their achievents, rewarded doubly, and officially converted from Zhen Nan Army to Yan Army.
This blood-and-fire experience would bring significant changes to Chen Yuan and his followers.
Of course, those are benefits for the future.
Right now, however, a new peril is set to descend.
Chen Yuan never guesses others' intentions with goodwill; during the battle against the demon clan, others dared not openly make troubles due to his threat.
They wished for mutual destruction.
But post-battle, nothing could be certain.
And given his current strength, waging a northern campaign against the Central Plains would be even harder; first, he must deal with Xiang Qianqiu, who will certainly not wait for Chen Yuan to recover.
Chen Yuan's mind was filled with thoughts, his brows tightly furrowed.
Besides visible strengths, there were hidden foundations, like the immortal support promised by Biyou Palace after submitting to Chen Yuan.
But now, they were gone.
Regardless of Shushan's foundation or that of Biyou Palace, both were dissipated because of Chen Yuan's two significant battles, losing the immortal battle prowess was a trendous loss.
"Supre Master?"
Zhao Danqing slowly ca before Chen Yuan in mid-air, asking softly.
"The elder went to pursue Tian Lan Demon God…."
Whether victorious or defeated, he wouldn't return.
Chen Yuan didn't need to say the following sentence; Zhao Danqing understood, simply sighing lightly, his expression complex yet sowhat relieved.
The immortal fall, leaving a strand of Divine Thought for the sect using Secret Technique, was torturous, as their mind wasn't whole, often dazed.
Now they played their last role in the battle against demons, dying a worthy death.
Thus, Zhao Danqing felt sorry for Biyou Palace's foundation loss but also felt joy and relief for the master's liberation.
Looking toward the Southern Border, Zhao Danqing bowed low, murmuring:
"Respectfully send off Supre Master!"
Chen Yuan clasped his fists:
"Respectfully send off the elder."
Jiang He, Ling Xu, Tianxu and others also paid respects, saying in unison:
"Respectfully send off the elder!"
"Respectfully send off the elder!"
...
The true battle was generally over, but for Tian Lan Demon God, it seed like another beginning; he fled desperately, the Biyou Palace immortal behind him burning all he had left to chase.
Vowing to leave him behind entirely lest he becos a problem later.
Since he would die anyway, vanishing in soul and form was nothing.
"Boom!"
The void shattered, rules intertwined.
Where they passed, devastation unfolded; mountains crumbled, all trees destroyed.
The void tore continuously, yet constantly healed.
As they neared the previous Transmission Array's position, a trace of joy flashed in Tian Lan Demon God's eyes, shouting:
"Mo Ying, help !"
.....
A clarification, not a eunuch, just contemplating the conclusion, along with busyness from recent New Year events, leading to slower updates.
Apologies, I'll introduce my cousin another day.
