Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 1060 - 537: Execution

From afar, one could see a large banner with the striking characters for ’Assistant General’, making it particularly conspicuous. Following was a red flag with a vermilion pennant, embroidered with the character ’Huan’, indicating whose private soldiers they were. Then, to the right and left, one white and one yellow, were the White Banner and Yellow Halberd bestowed by the Emperor’s Throne. Trailing behind were arrays of spirit flags, with wild vitex as poles, depicting the sun, moon, Big Dipper, and ascending dragons, used for directing in military campaigns.

In an instant, the vanguard knights escorted the central army banner on horseback into the camp. At the tip of each long spear were mounted more than a dozen heads, including all the core generals of the Nangong Family, and even the Qilin Fire Phoenix was slain, its blood-soaked head hanging at the saddles of the Iron Cavalry Martial Guards, with even Bado unable to save its life, which was regrettable.

Then the White Banner and Yellow Halberd arrived, and the Assistant General came into Chen Xuantian’s view.

The changes in Huan Tianyuan were not substantial, merely growing a circle of whiskers, with his skin a shade darker, and his waist and arms thicker. He was difficult enough to differentiate from the riders around him, let alone when compared to the generals and mothers of the Nangong family. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Because he was wearing the most common Fish Scale Armor of a guard, covered with a great cloak for rain and dust protection, without gold inlays or silver plating. His cultivation was only at Nascent Soul Realm, far from the Divinity Transformation level. The only difference was a few more chicken feathers in his helmet to distinguish himself from the surrounding generals and officers.

However, even with the naked eye, one could see that he seemed to be enveloped in some kind of aura. Although he was surrounded by a hundred guards, many of whom were larger and more muscled than him, they all subtly lowered their heads and averted their eyes, not daring to ride alongside him.

"Your humble servant pays respects to the General."

"Wang Yuan, you’ve worked hard, and this must be Master Wulian."

Huan Tianyuan dismounted, eschewing the usual ceremony limited by armor, directly clasping his fists in salute,

"This victory is due to your planning; you deserve the highest credit. With your assistance, nothing is unachievable. Please accept my bow."

Chen Xuantian stood still, accepting his bow. Seeing the surrounding soldiers with angry expressions, barely concealing a murderous aura, faintly forming a pincer formation ready to attack in defense, he knew these soldiers were well-trained. He clasped his hands and said,

"Namo Gatling~ This is all thanks to the General’s bravery in battle. How dare this monk take credit? Has that Louguan Temple master been captured yet?"

Huan Tianyuan said regretfully,

"As the Master mentioned, that high expert of Louguan was indeed formidable, breaking through with a powerful magic artifact, slicing through fourteen guardian protectors, seizing Lady Nangong, and breaking out of the encirclement."

"The General needn’t worry, for the monk and Wang Yuan have conspired and have already arranged for backup..."

"Hwah——!" "Boom——!"

Suddenly, two torrents of Yellow Qi soared to the Sky Dome, sweeping sword light horizontally across the horizon, instantly dispersing all the overcast clouds, dyeing the Cangtian with a terrifying bright yellow, accompanied by a suffocating Divine Sense pressure, sweeping across the lake, stirring waves across the thousand-mile expanse of Yun Meng.

In response, the surrounding soldiers without a second thought, formed a turtle shell formation, encircling Huan Tianyuan at the core for protection, all eyes fixed on the two descending Sword Rainbows, revealing a tall and a short figure, one with triangular eyes, the other with a golden fish head, seemingly unremarkable but with cultivation ferocious to an exaggerated degree in their yellow-robed form.

"A mere rural yokel, fortunate not to fail the mission."

"The main culprits have been executed."

Then one tossed and one hurled their heads to the ground, rolling right to Chen Xuantian’s feet.

Chen Xuantian looked down and saw it was Nangong Ou and Master Huang.
