Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

They knew that this battle would be extremely brutal.

But when they actually witnessed the "aftermath" of the battlefield, it still exceeded their expectations.

All the soldiers are cleaning up the battlefield and treating the wounded.

Everything was so busy.

All of this is being directed by someone, so Su Li is not needed for the time being.

Su Li did not leave Antenna Valley. He remained standing in the same spot, gazing at the vast sky. No one knew what Su Li was thinking.

Zhao Lingxue and Zhuang Mou learned everything from Wang Meng.

Zhuang Mou looked at Su Li's lonely figure and wanted to go over, but Zhao Lingxue gently pulled her back.

"Senior Zhao?"

Zhuang Mou looked at Zhao Lingxue with a puzzled expression.

Zhao Lingxue didn't answer further, but simply shook her head at Zhuang Mou: "Let's not disturb him for now, let him have some peace and quiet."

......

Another day passed, and the treatment of the wounded in Antenna Valley and the clearing of the battlefield continued.

Su Li was already standing motionless in the air.

At this moment, Su Li was like a statue.

On the night of the following day, Su Li's expression gradually calmed down, and her eyes finally seemed to regain some color.

When the soldiers of Gushen City raised their heads, wanting to see if their general was still motionless.

He discovered that the figure in the air, which resembled a bronze sculpture, had vanished.

......

Su Li strolled slowly through the night sky. The stars in the sky seemed so close to her that she could reach out and grasp the entire starry sky in her palm.

Finally, Su Li stopped at the summit of a mountain.

This mountain peak is actually one of the two peaks on either side of Antenna Valley, and it is very close to Antenna Valley.

Sitting atop the mountain peak, you can even see the torchlight in Antenna Valley.

"sit down."

On a cliff atop the mountain peak, a man sat calmly, his gaze following the direction of Antenna Valley.

Su Li sat down next to him.

This person's entire body emitted a firefly-like glow, and appeared so translucent, like a ghost.

This person is Xuanxiao.

Xuanxiao didn't need any explanation; Su Li already knew Xuanxiao's current state.

At this moment, the clamor is a kind of spiritual entity.

After Qiongqi's death, its remaining power, the blood energy from the battlefield, and Xuanxiao's obsession combined to condense Xuanxiao's remnant soul into its current form.

If nothing unexpected happens, the lingering remnants of the raging spirit will dissipate in just a few days, or perhaps even less.

"What were you doing standing there before? Was there something interesting to see?" Xuanxiao asked Su Li beside him.

Su Li shook her head: "There's nothing to see, I was just thinking about some things."

"Because of the deaths of your two lieutenants?" Xuanxiao asked.

“Yes,” Su Li said without hiding anything, “but not entirely.”

A profound look flashed in Su Li's eyes.

"Let me guess, you feel heartbroken over the death of your subordinates, regardless of your relationship with them, even if they were just ordinary soldiers, you still feel sorrow for them."

At this moment, Xuanxiao actually sounded like a psychologist.

"But Su Li, what were the names of those two deputy generals again, Ma Lin and Hua Mei? Although they died, they died a worthy death."

Marin bought you the last bit of time, allowing you to unleash that sword strike.

The thrush risked its life to keep you alive, so your existence is indeed more valuable.

And the soldiers of Ceres City, their deaths on this magnificent battlefield were their final resting place.

“This is not their destiny.” Su Li shook his head, denying Xuanxiao’s view. “No one’s destiny is to die on the battlefield.”

Su Li stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Antenna Valley: "Among them, there are still many young people, and many of them have not yet married. They could have gone on for much longer."

"If you insist on thinking that way, there's nothing I can do about it."

Xuanxiao gave a bitter laugh.

"But this is the battlefield. You are the victor, and I am the loser. This battle will surely appear in the history books of future generations, but I will be your background."

"You care about this a lot?" Su Li asked.

“Yes, I care a lot.” Xuanxiao nodded. “But, I don’t care anymore.”

"..."

Su Li did not answer.

The two remained silent.

"Su Li, how did you see through the spies I planted?" After a long while, Xuanxiao spoke again, asking the question that had been troubling him.

“I calculated it.” Su Li looked at the starry sky. “You have my information, so you must know that my divination skills are quite famous.”

“I know, the saintess is a pervert.” Xuanxiao said with a smile. “Since that’s the case, then I’ll believe it. I’ll just consider this battle as my bad luck, and that will make me feel better.”

"Mm." Su Li nodded.

Xuanxiao glanced at Su Li: "I'm really leaving. Don't you have any questions?"

Su Li thought for a moment: "Do you think this great battle is necessary?"

Xuanxiao thought for a moment and said, "There's no need for that, but this great battle is bound to happen, so many people will definitely die."

Su Li: "Is this the price of the fusion of the human and demon races?"

"Who knows?" Xuanxiao shrugged.

After the question and answer, the two fell silent again, until Xuanxiao spoke up once more:

"Su Li, do you know about the legendary lost second realm?"

"I know, the fourteenth realm is called the Refining Spirit Realm, and the fifteenth realm is the Harmonizing Dao Realm."

"Yes... the legendary Dao Integration Realm..."

Amidst the clamor of eyes, a longing that doesn't belong to oneself flashes by.

"I've heard that once you reach the Dao Integration Realm, you can control life and death and establish laws. Do you think that's true?"

"Who knows?"

"Yeah, who knows..."

The cold night wind gently swept across the mountaintop, fading away with the final sound.

At the summit, only Su Li remained, gazing into the distance into the darkness.

Chapter 792 Counterattack! (4000 words)

After the Battle of Antenna Valley, the first army of Ceresin Castle won.

However, overall, it can only be described as a Pyrrhic victory.

Of the original 507,500 soldiers of Valley God City, only 235,469 remain.

The Wan Jian Army, which originally numbered over nine thousand, was reduced to only six thousand two hundred!

This major battle resulted in a sharp reduction in troop strength on the northwest front of Qianlingzhou.

However, there was no way to replenish troops elsewhere.

The current troop strength is very tight.

After Su Li returned to Valley God City, many of his lieutenants expressed their concern for him, as he hadn't spoken for many days and had remained silent.

Su Li said that she was fine, but she just needed to calm down after that big battle.

After restoring everything in Valley God City, Su Li summoned all the soldiers and held a grand funeral in Antenna Valley!

Tombstones stand on the mountain peaks on both sides of Antenna Valley.

"salute!"

At Su Li's command, all the surviving soldiers in this great battle bowed deeply to the mountain peak to the left of Antenna Valley.

Tens of thousands of people bowed in unison, like a human wave, creating an incredibly grand scene.

Not only his own soldiers, but Su Li also buried the demon army's soldiers on another mountain peak.

Su Li did not know the names of these demon soldiers, but simply erected a blank stone tablet.

Although the Xuanxiao Army was their mortal enemy, not a single member of the Xuanxiao Army retreated; they all died on this battlefield.

These demon soldiers are also real soldiers.

Unfortunately, the two sides are enemies.

And it was after this day that Antenna Valley got a new name, namely, Wanbei Valley.

The name "Wanbeigu" was not given by Su Li.

Even Su Li didn't know where the name Wanbei Valley came from.

But after that day, more and more people started calling it that.

And then, after who knows how many years...

This Valley of Ten Thousand Steles, where countless corpses are buried, has become a very famous tourist attraction. Whether human or demon, people come here to place their own bouquet of flowers.

In a mountain peak near Wanbei Valley.

There are also two statues standing there.

Two statues sat on the edge of a cliff, these two former mortal enemies were actually chatting together.

As for the content of their conversations, later generations only learned about it in history textbooks.

"In that great battle hundreds of thousands of years ago, there was never a victor in Wanbei Valley."

A middle school history teacher said this to his students.

......

After reorganizing the army, Su Li launched a counterattack on the northwest front of Qianling Prefecture!

On the northwestern front of Qianlingzhou, Xuanxiao did indeed capture fifty-six cities and seven passes.

However, for the sake of the expedition, Xuanxiao only deployed the most basic troops to guard the pass; the demon army guarding a pass was at most ten thousand men.

Most of them are between three and four thousand people.

On the other hand, the defending troops had no chance of winning against Su Li's army.

The Demon Kingdom is also very clever.

Rather than letting those soldiers stay in the city, becoming Su Li's military achievements, sacrificing themselves in vain, and ultimately losing the city.

It would be better to withdraw all these demon troops and abandon the city altogether.

These demon troops, when gathered together, constitute an army of over 200,000, a considerable fighting force.

As a result, Su Li's army recovered all the lost cities in the northwest without lifting a finger.

After the recapture, Su Li did not immediately launch an attack on the White Island army.

Su Li chose to rest and recuperate.

The army of Ceres is now extremely exhausted and needs to rest!

Meanwhile, Xia Liuliu, far away in the capital, was also greatly surprised when she learned that Su Li had annihilated Xuanxiao's army in fifteen days and recovered all the cities and passes on the northwest front.
