My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

With the court in charge of upholding the law, the members of the Eternal Council convened again to decide as soon as possible how to deal with the situation ahead.

Everyone knew perfectly well that the Fifth Legion had likely betrayed them, and the army sent to provide support was likely doomed. The fall of Blackrock Fortress was now a foregone conclusion.

Blackrock Fortress is an important barrier for the Divine Dynasty. Once it falls, a gap will be torn in the human border, allowing abyssal monsters to advance unimpeded, making the Divine Dynasty's situation even more difficult.

Inside the Eternal Hall, Dongfang Shenhuo, Hong Xuanji, and others all arrived.

The crowd remained silent, quietly awaiting the arrival of the severe punishment.

Before long, Yan Fa stepped into the main hall with a solemn expression.

"Everyone's here, let's begin!"

Once everyone had arrived, Zhang Mingyang spoke first.

If the territory of the Divine Dynasty falls, the first to be affected will be the Hall of Rule.

They need to find a way to stabilize the situation and appease the angry public.

"The entire Fifth Legion betrayed us; they destroyed the teleportation array, almost wiping out the entire army that went to provide support."

Before anyone else could speak, Yan Fa's stern and authoritative voice rang out in the main hall.

Upon hearing this, everyone's pupils contracted, and they all looked at Yan Fa.

They had anticipated the Fifth Legion's betrayal, but Yan Fa had only just emerged from seclusion, yet he spoke with such certainty, as if he were personally present, that the Fifth Legion had already betrayed them.

Seeing the puzzled crowd, Yan Fa became even more furious.

"Lord Li immediately went to Blackstone Fortress to provide support, turning the tide and saving the army from collapse. He captured two powerful demons at the Cave Heaven Realm and suppressed the rebellious Fifth Legion."

Yan Fa recounted everything that had happened at Blackstone Fortress in one breath, his anger directed at everyone in the hall.

Li Xuancang was fighting desperately at the front, and these people actually dared to covet his sister's treasure; they were utterly inhuman.

"Buzz!"

As soon as Yan Fa finished speaking, everyone's souls exploded and their bodies trembled.

They had prepared for the fall of Blackrock Fortress, but they never expected that Li Xuancang would single-handedly reverse the situation, which was unbelievable to them.

They belatedly realized why Li Xuancang was not in the capital.

"Haha, that's great!"

"Lord Li Ting defended the Black Stone Fortress, and his merits were immense."

"Blackrock Fortress is still in the hands of the Divine Dynasty, which is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune."

"..."

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 202ᴋᴋs.ᴄᴏᴍ]

The fact that Blackrock Fortress had not fallen filled everyone with joy.

As long as Blackrock Fortress stands, they can accept the Fifth Legion's betrayal.

After the initial joy, everyone was utterly shocked.

Li Xuancang not only reversed the situation but also captured two demonic creatures at the Cave Heaven Realm, which seemed like a complete fantasy to them.

They didn't doubt what Yan Fa said; they were just curious about how Li Xuancang had managed to do it.

"Immediately dispatch the Seventh Legion to take over Blackrock Fortress, with 500,000 expeditionary troops assisting the Seventh Legion, and have the Array Hall set up the teleportation array immediately."

Yan Fa ignored the crowd and immediately issued orders.

No one objected; Blackrock Fortress was too important and had to be guarded by the main force.

The news spread quickly, causing a sensation in the capital and spreading like a plague to other parts of the Divine Dynasty.

"What?! The entire Fifth Legion has defected? How is that possible?"

"Is it true that even the elite legions of the Divine Dynasty can betray us?"

"If even the Fifth Legion can betray us, is there any hope left for the Divine Dynasty?"

"..."

The Fifth Army Corps has achieved numerous military exploits and made outstanding contributions.

Even such a main force betrayed them, which shows just how corrupt the Divine Dynasty had become.

The people were utterly dejected and disheartened, seeing no hope whatsoever.

"Judge Li, the main force of the trial court, turned the tide and defended Blackstone Fortress. Truly, heroes emerge from among the young."

"Fortunately, Lord Li Ting held Black Stone Fortress, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"With traitors like the Fifth Legion and pillars like Lord Li, the Divine Dynasty will surely overcome this difficulty."

"..."

Li Xuancang was once again thrust into the spotlight, and everyone praised him.

When the people who had lost all hope heard about Li Xuancang's heroic deeds, they were all shaken and a glimmer of hope arose in their hearts.

As the news spread rapidly, the court officials arrived at Blackstone Fortress and informed Li Xuancang in detail of what had happened in the capital.

"boom!"

Li Xuancang's aura soared to the heavens, causing the stars in the outer realms to tremble, as if they were about to fall at any moment.

Those around him were all terrified, as if they were standing on the edge of an abyss or walking on thin ice, their breath seemingly about to stop.

Li Xuancang withdrew his breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Marshal Qin, the Divine Dynasty's reinforcements will arrive soon. I'm leaving Blackstone Fortress in your care. I'll take my leave now."

Enraged, Li Xuancang immediately left with Su Xinghai and Wei Tianfeng.

"Lord Li..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xuanling's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly tried to stop him.

They were just a bunch of defeated soldiers. Without Li Xuancang and Su Xinghai in charge, how could they possibly withstand the Abyss's attack?

Li Xuancang did not give Qin Xuanling a chance to persuade him, and quickly disappeared into the horizon with Su Xinghai and Wei Tianfeng.

"Damn it, these people are really good for nothing and good for nothing."

Seeing the two people who had vanished without a trace, Qin Xuanling was furious.

While Li Xuancang was away fighting, these people robbed his sister's treasures; they were utterly shameless.

If Blackrock Fortress falls because of this, these people will be the culprits.

"Something big is about to happen."

Everyone's eyes were filled with worry, knowing that Li Xuancang's return would inevitably unleash a bloodbath, further destabilizing the Divine Dynasty.

Li Xuancang and his two companions remained silent, speeding through the void at breakneck speed.

Su Xinghai's eyes were bloodshot, as if they contained mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

He was suppressing his raging anger, intending to take it to the capital and burn it across the heavens and the earth.

The group made no attempt to conceal their presence, flying swiftly over the capital and heading straight into the courtroom.

"It's Li Xuancang, why is he back?"

"The reinforcements have only just set off, why has Li Xuancang already returned?"

"Nonsense! If Blackrock Fortress falls because of this, Li Xuancang's crime will be unforgivable."

"..."

Everyone was both shocked and furious to see Li Xuancang return.

Li Xuancang should be stationed at Black Stone Fortress at this time, waiting for the reinforcements to arrive.

His unauthorized return has left Blackrock Fortress vulnerable, and if the Abyss seizes the opportunity to launch an attack, the fortress could very well fall.

While everyone was furious, Li Xuancang was checking Bai Meng's injuries.

"Xuan Cang, his injuries are too severe, and his foundation has been destroyed. I have done my best."

Yan Fa looked ashamed.

Although he saved Bai Meng's life, Bai Meng was seriously injured and had not woken up for a long time.

"Brother, I will remember everyone who attacked me. You must avenge Bai Meng."

Li Ling'er's phoenix eyes were filled with murderous intent.

She had been enduring it all along, but now that Li Xuancang had returned, she had found someone to rely on and no longer suppressed the murderous intent in her heart.

"It's alright, your brother will definitely get justice for you and Bai Meng."

Li Xuancang looked at Li Ling'er, whose eyes were brimming with tears and filled with guilt, and felt extremely distressed. He gently comforted her.
