Demon Lord Tang Dynasty

Inside the large tent, Gao Yi sat cross-legged, a faint light flickering between his brows, his abdomen pulsating, and his breath coming in and out of his nose, a truly mysterious sight.

A thrilling long-distance raid stirred up a storm.

In the end, Gao Yi emerged victorious.

The once-renowned Prince Kao Shan had even lost his personal weapons and the banners of his troops to Gao Yi.

Once this victory is announced, it will surely shake the entire nation.

Of course, for any war, the battles on the battlefield are never everything.

Victory or defeat on the battlefield is an important factor, but it is only the beginning.

Any battle, no matter how small, will have huge aftershocks that extend to both sides.

The same applies to the battles of Baiguan and Wuchuan.

Gao Yi certainly understood this.

However, he didn't focus all his attention on this matter.

Gao Yi has never slacked off in improving his own strength, after all, strength is always the most fundamental thing.

While military strategy and warfare are undeniably destructive, they also come with many limitations.

Just as Gao Yi was focused on his cultivation.

Outside the tent, two people were staring at each other.

However, unlike before, this time the one filled with resentment was not Protector Bai, but Bai Yue'er.

Bai Yue'er's beautiful eyes were fixed on Protector Bai with a cold, piercing light, and a murderous aura was visibly emanating from them.

The white-clad protector, though somewhat pale, was all smiles, clearly in a good mood.

"You brat, why are you staring at me like that?"

The White Protector blew on his beard, and his entire face resembled a blooming chrysanthemum.

"Hehe, what are you complaining about, girl? You may have a little bit of looks, but that's all," Protector Bai said with a smile, fiddling with his fingers.

"It was only because the World-Honored One took pity on you that he bestowed this favor upon you. But what kind of status is the World-Honored One? Do you, a mere girl, dare to dream of becoming a consort?"

Protector Bai glanced at Bai Yue'er disdainfully and sneered, "But don't worry, the World Honored One is merciful. I'll put in a good word for you, and I believe you'll be able to become a servant girl without any problem."

"you……"

Bai Yue'er, who was already seething with anger, could no longer control herself. Her eyes flashed with coldness as she raised her hand to strike at Protector Bai.

"What, you want to fight?"

The White Protector showed no fear whatsoever, not even activating his true energy, but instead moved his face closer forward.

"Come on, hit me, hit me all you want." As he spoke, Protector Bai raised his hand and said, "If you dare to make a move, I dare to fall to the ground. Let me tell you, what I'm holding in my hand is the Buddha's elixir that the World-Honored One repeatedly instructed me to give."

"you……"

Bai Yue'er took several deep breaths in succession, and white steam seemed to rise between her mouth and nose.

After a long while, he forced down his anger and took a few steps back, gritting his teeth.

"Ahhhhhh"

The White Protector couldn't help but let out a satisfied groan.

Ever since Gao Yi seized power, Protector Bai's status has been like Wang Xiaoer celebrating the New Year, getting worse day by day.

Especially Bai Yue'er, who would climb on his head and act all high and mighty, which made him so angry that he almost vomited blood several times.

Now, he has finally achieved his goal and felt incredibly proud.

Bai Yue'er turned her head away, no longer looking at the other person, but her fists remained clenched tightly, so tightly that the veins on her arms even bulged.

However, while Bai Yue'er temporarily avoided the limelight, Protector Bai never knew the meaning of knowing when to stop.

"Right Protector, my injuries have not yet healed, and I am finding it difficult to support this tray in my hands," the White Protector said again.

Yes, Bai Yue'er has now become the Right Protector of the Maitreya Sect.

This is precisely why Protector Bai became increasingly resentful of the other party.

You must know that he is a founding elder of the Maitreya sect, and he had previously followed the World Honored One on numerous missions, risking his life in the process.

In the words of Protector White, we are the Buddha's most trusted confidant. In terms of merit and seniority, why should this brat be on par with him?

"Alright, Yue'er will hold the tray for the Dharma Protector." Bai Yue'er gritted her teeth and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Ahhhhhh"

The White Protector paid no attention to the other party's tone and tilted his head back to let out another satisfying breath.

"Come in..."

Just then, Gao Yi's voice rang out from inside the tent.

The moment the words fell, Protector Bai leaped up from the spot like a rabbit.

With a wave of his right hand, he retrieved the tray that Bai Yue'er had just taken from him.

Without stopping, he entered the tent, slid to his knees, and kowtowed—a series of actions completed in one smooth motion.

"World Honored One, the elixir you instructed me to refine has been completed."

Bai Yue'er's eyes were cold as she stared fiercely at the back of Protector Bai. If her gaze could unleash swords, Protector Bai would have been cleaved into pieces long ago.

"Very well, let's leave it for now..."

Gao Yi could tell from their expressions that they were competing with each other again.

However, Gao Yi didn't pay any attention to it.

Those in positions of power are never worried about discord among their subordinates; on the contrary, they feel uneasy when their subordinates are harmonious and loving towards each other.

Of course, the two people in front of him were far from being able to make Gao Yi uneasy.

The White Protector's abilities are completely transparent.

As for Bai Yue'er, although she wasn't as unreliable as Protector Bai, her abilities were still quite mediocre, and all she could think about was his body.

In terms of ability, neither of them really deserves their current position.

In fact, because of some eccentric geniuses, the White Protector was even more useful to him.

As for Bai Yue'er, well... the Hundred Flowers Scroll never blooms twice, and Gao is not a casual person, especially not the second time.

"World Honored One, after my painstaking research, the quality of this Buddha pill has also improved." After setting down the tray, the White Protector couldn't wait to claim credit.

Gao Yi nodded, casually offering a compliment, and then looked at Bai Yue'er.

"Moon, how's it going on your end? Any movement?"

Before Bai Yue'er could reply, the Protector Bai was startled.

What? This brat has received another mission from the World Honored One? She must have taken advantage of his focus on alchemy to curry favor with the World Honored One. This brat really hasn't given up on ruining him.

Gao Yi was unaware of the White Protector's overthinking.

There was no particular reason for making this arrangement; it was simply because there weren't many people available to use at the moment.

He had long since figured out what kind of person Protector Bai was. To put it simply, he absolutely could not be involved in anything serious. It wasn't that the other party would cause trouble, but rather that his seriousness in doing things was itself a form of sabotage.

On the contrary, Bai Yue'er, although she may not be capable enough, is obedient enough that she will at least not cause too much trouble.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the news has been relayed back. The golden wolf-headed banner has already traveled south from the northern desert and should arrive in the southern desert in a few days. The tribes along the way have already heard the news and have sent people to pay their respects."

"Wh...what? A golden...golden wolf head banner."

Protector Bai had no time to argue with Bai Yue'er anymore; he stared at her with his mouth agape, his face full of shock.
