Currently, Wu Xiangjun commands hundreds of thousands of troops, which, combined with the more than 300,000 troops of Western Xia, totals six to seven hundred thousand. This does not include the troops led by Zhao Min of the Great Yuan and the armies within the territory of the Great Sui. These are mostly battle-hardened elites, especially the cavalry, whose number could be mobilized in the hundreds of thousands. The Prince of Kaoshan understands that if Wu Xiangjun cannot be found in the short term, his army may very well enter the Great Sui, and once inside, it is uncertain whether they will be willing to leave.

In Wagang Village, Zhai Rang found the events in Luoyang puzzling. He couldn't understand why the Prince of Kaoshan would send tens of thousands of troops into the city just to search for someone, while Wang Shichong and the Dugu clan did nothing to stop them, turning a blind eye to the situation.

"Tell me, what exactly happened in Luoyang? Prince Yang Lin sent 50,000 troops into the city to search for someone, and Wang Shichong and the Dugu clan actually allowed him to enter. This is really not right."

At this moment, a woman dressed in a light yellow dress, with a graceful figure and beautiful features, stepped forward. Zhai Rang, seeing that it was Shen Luoyan, asked, "What is your opinion, Military Advisor Shen?" Shen Luoyan bowed to Zhai Rang and then stated her opinion.

"Chief Zhai, the most important thing right now is to defeat Zhang Xutuo. We can't worry about Luoyang for now. If we don't defeat Zhang Xutuo first, Wagang Village will be in imminent danger." Xu Shiji stood up and echoed—he was Shen Luoyan's fiancé, so naturally he had to stand by her side. "Chief Zhai is right. We must defeat Zhang Xutuo first. Luoyang is heavily fortified now; it would be useless for us to go there."

At this moment, a middle-aged man spoke up:

"I don't think so. Chief, right now everyone in Luoyang is searching for someone. Although we don't know who this person is, they must be extremely important."

"Not only is the Dugu Clan in Luoyang searching for him, but the troops of the Prince of Kaoshan are also searching for him after entering the city. Even major sects of the martial arts world, such as the Yin Kui Sect of the Demonic Sect and the Cihang Jingzhai, are looking for him."

"Although we don't know the person's identity yet, if we find him first, it will be of great benefit to Wagang Village, and we can even use it to plan many things."

"Master Mi is right! Chief, we must find this man."

"Yes, this person must be a key figure in the Sui Dynasty. We must bring him back to Wagang Village."

"It's extraordinary that so many forces are searching at the same time. We can't miss this opportunity."

"Boss, we must send someone to Luoyang immediately to find this person. This may be the opportunity for Wagangzhai to rise again."

Inside the Hall of Righteousness, the military commanders unanimously agreed with Li Mi's proposal. Shen Luoyan's expression darkened slightly; she hadn't expected Li Mi to have so many supporters. Did he have ulterior motives?

She walked into the hall and said solemnly:

"Chief, Master Mi, since you know so many forces and sects are searching for us, do you really think we can find us so easily? Even if we do find us, do you think those forces will let us go? If they join forces to attack, how will Wagang Village resist?"

Li Mi smiled and said, "Military Advisor Shen is overthinking it. As long as we act carefully and don't let them find out, it will be fine."

After a moment's consideration, Zhai Rang felt that Li Mi's words made sense—to achieve great things, one sometimes has to take risks. Besides, he had also become interested in that mysterious figure.

"Alright, Military Advisor Shen, there's no need for further words. This time, I'll trouble Lord Mi to personally lead a group to Luoyang to find out who everyone is looking for. If there's an opportunity, bring him back to Wagang."

"Yes, Boss."

"The boss..."

After speaking, Zhai Rang got up and left, not wanting to hear any more of Shen Luoyan's advice. Zhang Xutuo had been besieging the camp for nearly half a year, and he still needed to concentrate on thinking of a way to defeat the enemy. Li Mi glanced at Shen Luoyan and also turned to leave.

Shen Luoyan watched Zhai Rang's departing figure and sighed softly. She really couldn't understand why Zhai Rang trusted Li Mi so much now—that man clearly had a wicked and malicious nature.

If Zhai Rang continues like this, Wagang Village will likely face great chaos in the future. Li Mi might even seize power, and Zhai Rang's life will be in danger.

Xu Shiji, who was standing nearby, noticed her worry and whispered to her, "Luoyan, don't overthink it. Perhaps Li Erzhang (Second Master Li) has a way to catch that mysterious person quietly."

Shen Luoyan simply replied, "I hope so."

The grasslands, the territory of the Xiongnu.

A carriage moved slowly across the open field. Inside the carriage, Su Qingfeng was fast asleep on the carpet, while Shi Guanyin glared at him with a livid face.

She hadn't expected that this scoundrel would show no fear after his pressure points were released. Although she had bound one of his arms with silken threads to prevent him from escaping, he actually occupied the only place in the carriage where he could lie down, and for three days straight, he did nothing but eat and sleep, living like a pig.

When Shi Guanyin recalled the first night, he actually lay down right next to her, which made her so angry that she wanted to strangle the lecherous man.

"Get up! You lazybones, how long are you going to sleep?"

Su Qingfeng wasn't actually asleep. For the past three days, he had been racking his brains for a way to escape, but without success. The cicada silk, though seemingly delicate and transparent, was exceptionally tough and impossible to break.

However, during their travels over the past few days, he gradually figured out Shi Guanyin's background: she had never been to Fusang, nor had she married Tianfeng Shisilang and had any children. The male concubines she kept in the desert were merely to bewitch Shuimu Yinji. Therefore, it seemed that Shi Guanyin was still a virgin—

No, that's not right. Perhaps she was already taken by that woman, Jellyfish Yin Ji... After all, she was once captured by that pervert.

Hearing Shi Guanyin's shout, Su Qingfeng lazily sat up and stretched his limbs. He was no longer afraid of her; he had heard many threats along the way, but had never seen her actually make a move.

"Li Qi, where are we going?" He looked at the stone Guanyin who was still wearing a veil and laughed, "We're already on the grassland, you should tell me by now, right? There's no one else here, why are you still wearing a veil?"

Recalling the face he had inadvertently lifted her veil to reveal yesterday, Su Qingfeng was still amazed—it was truly the most beautiful face he had ever seen. No wonder the Stone Guanyin in the original story was so narcissistic; with such a face that could bewitch all living beings, she certainly had reason to be proud.

"Shut up!" Shi Guanyin interrupted coldly, "If you say another word, I'll—"

"Kill me, you've said that dozens of times in the last few days." "You bastard, don't think I won't lay a hand on you."

"I understand, you're amazing, you're invincible. Where are we going now? I need to let the women know I'm safe, otherwise they'll worry." Su Qingfeng lifted the carriage curtain and looked out at the boundless grassland, feeling helpless—there was no one around, and it would be difficult to ask for directions.

He figured it was time to leave the Sui Dynasty. Shi Guanyin had carried him for a whole day; heaven knows how far that woman had actually gone. Su Qingfeng was still worried about the unfinished business of the Sui Dynasty: the treasures in Yang Gong's treasury and the Evil Emperor's relic hadn't been retrieved yet. What if they fell into Li Shimin's hands? Wouldn't that be aiding the enemy?

Shi Guanyin glanced coldly out the window: "You can pretend you're already dead. Whether your woman cares or not is none of my business." Su Qingfeng leaned back in the carriage and sighed.

"Li Qi, let's make peace. I didn't understand you before and misunderstood you because of rumors. I apologize. I will never say you are vicious again."

Shi Guanyin was somewhat surprised. This scoundrel had actually backed down? For the past few days, he hadn't given an inch, and had even been putting her down from time to time... Could it be that he wanted to coax her into agreeing so that he would send someone back to report the news?

"Ha, do you think I care what you think? I am a demon, a wicked woman. No need to say more, I will never agree to any of your conditions."

Su Qingfeng was secretly annoyed. This woman was unyielding to both soft and hard tactics; it had been three days already. If he didn't send news of her safety back soon, Luoyang was likely to descend into chaos. His women would surely tear the city apart, and if the Song Dynasty found out, it would be even more troublesome. The more Su Qingfeng thought about it, the more anxious he became.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves approached. Both looked up simultaneously and saw thousands of cavalrymen in the distance, escorting tens of thousands of civilians towards them. Shi Guanyin's gaze turned cold:

"They are Xiongnu cavalry. They captured these people and want to take them back to their tribe."

"Then kill them. There are only a few thousand cavalry here. Li Qi, go and slaughter these beasts." "Who do you think you are, Lord Wu Xiang, to give the order? You don't need to tell me; I'll do it myself."

Shi Guanyin glared at Su Qingfeng, leaped out of the carriage, and rushed towards the Xiongnu cavalry.

Su Qingfeng was overjoyed to see her leave. He glanced at the silken threads in his hand and wanted to escape immediately. But when he saw Li Qi charging through the Xiongnu army, he shook his head—leaving at this moment seemed inappropriate.

Su Qingfeng pondered for a moment, then retrieved the remaining 30,000 Netherworld troops from his system space, first dispatching 10,000 cavalry. He planned to send these cavalry back to Luoyang, the capital of the Sui Dynasty, to deliver the letter he had written beforehand to his women. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about the Yang Gong Treasure in Luoyang falling into Li Shimin's hands, and he could also keep the women in check to prevent them from causing trouble.

"System, deploy 10,000 cavalry five miles away."

"Ding! Ten thousand cavalrymen have been deployed five miles away."

Hearing the system's response, Su Qingfeng felt more at ease. As long as the message could be delivered, he could focus on dealing with the unpredictable Shi Guanyin. If he could win this woman over, he would have another expert at the Celestial Realm by his side.

Thinking of this, Su Qingfeng couldn't help but feel a little excited. However, Shi Guanyin was really hard to fathom. Even now, he still hadn't figured out her temperament, and he didn't even know what she liked or disliked.

At this time, tens of thousands of Han people were being driven by Xiongnu cavalry into the depths of the grasslands, and everyone was already in despair.

Suddenly, a woman in white descended from the sky and instantly killed the Xiongnu cavalry, bringing hope to the Han people. They all wished this fairy would wipe out all the Xiongnu.

"Shoot the arrows! Kill this woman!"

Seeing that she had killed hundreds of cavalrymen in the blink of an eye, a Xiongnu general hurriedly gave an order.

The arrow came hurtling through the air.

Shi Guanyin simply waved her hand, shattering all the incoming arrows. She coldly glanced at the Xiongnu cavalry and unleashed a palm strike from afar.

Boom boom boom!

The palm strike landed like a cannonball, inflicting heavy casualties on the Xiongnu cavalry. Tens of thousands of Han onlookers were stunned, convinced the woman must be a fairy descended from heaven.

Su Qingfeng was also secretly surprised. The gap between the Celestial Realm and the Grandmaster was simply too great. A Grandmaster might be able to be slowly worn down by an army, but a Celestial Realm terrestrial immortal could not be held back by any number of troops—unless the army formed a battle formation, they simply could not do anything to her.

Su Qingfeng drove his carriage to the group of Han people and got out to inquire about the situation. He wanted to know where he was and what countries were nearby.

"Sir, what area is this? What country are you from?"

"Young master, we are all..."

Holy crap, we're already in the Eastern Continent? Where is Shi Guanyin trying to take me? What is this woman trying to do? Does she really want to have me all to herself?
