The fierce battle at Beining Pass was a life-and-death struggle, but in the end, not a single person was lost, not even the reinforcents that arrived later. This outco amazed everyone.
On the contrary, Qingyang Pass, which had been watching from the sidelines, suffered heavy casualties. All of the more than one hundred elite soldiers brought by Dan Tai Xuan from the Holy Court were killed in battle. The Changsun, He, Song, Qu, and Mo families originally had over 1,200 people combined, but fewer than 200 survived the battle, most of whom were severely injured with missing limbs.
Among the Five Great Families, only the Fang Family, led by Fang Zhe, ca out to rescue Mu Hanyan. At that ti, everyone thought they were marching to certain death and would be completely annihilated, but in the end, none of the more than 200 Fang Family disciples even suffered a serious injury.
Such a miracle could only be created by Mu Hanyan.
Comparing the outcos of both sides, everyone held Mu Hanyan in even higher regard, while expressing disdain for Dan Tai Xuan and others. It was bad enough that they were cowards, but their cowardice also cost the lives of hundreds of Qingyang Pass soldiers and civilians. If it weren’t for their high status, the relatives of the deceased might have wished to tear them to pieces.
"By the way, what happened to Qu Fengxing?" Mu Hanyan asked. Qu Fengxing was the Young Master of the Qu Family in the Capital, but Mu Hanyan had only seen Changsun Yi’an and Song Yu, and not Qu Fengxing.
"He’s dead. The first one to die at the hands of the Netherworld Beast was him," Qu Fengting replied flatly.
"My condolences," Mu Hanyan said. Although she had no affection for Qu Fengxing, she still offered so words of comfort since Qu Fengting was a mber of a branch family of the Qu Family and had once been the Young Master.
"I’ve long since been expelled from the Qu family. Beining Pass is my true ho," Qu Fengting said calmly.
Mu Hanyan could see that he had indeed let go of worldly ambitions and had resolved to spend his life at Beining Pass.
"By the way, where is Mo Yanhong?" Besides Qu Fengxing, there was another Young Master among the Great Families who hadn’t shown up. Mu Hanyan even suspected he might have fled the scene when the situation looked dire. If that were the case, he would have no place in the Mo Family, Anyun, or even the entire Holy Court Continent.
"Still missing, perhaps..." Qu Fengting had the sa suspicion.
"Found him, Young Master Mo has been found." At that mont, a Fang Family disciple cleaning the battlefield shouted loudly.
Everyone quickly rushed over, and upon seeing the scene before them, they were filled with a blend of laughter and tears.
Mo Yanhong was lying beneath two Exotic Beasts. His spine was broken, and half of his body was crushed into pulp. He was as dead as could be.
The wounds on the two Exotic Beasts clearly indicated they had died by sword, but Mo Yanhong’s body bore the distinctive large footprints of a Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephant. With a little thought, everyone understood what happened. He had attempted to play dead under the creature’s corpse but overdid it, getting himself stomped by a Red Cloud Gold Armored Elephant that arrived later as reinforcents.
The Young Master of the dignified Mo Family, one of the Eight Great Families of the Capital, didn’t die on the battlefield but t such an absurd end, leaving everyone speechless.
"Hand him over to the Mo Family’s Young Master and let them take him back to the Capital," Mu Hanyan said.
No matter how much disdain she held for Mo Yanhong’s character, she respected Mo Qingkuang and, given that the Mo Family was one of the Eight Great Families, they needed to save face at least for now.
"We don’t know him, perhaps he just looks a bit like our Young Master," a Mo Family disciple sneered at Mo Yanhong’s corpse and walked away coldly.
The other surviving Mo Family disciples also turned away in sha.
