Two hours later, Ha Chi and Er Ji stood in the air above the Heavenly Moat Ridge and looked around.
"That kid ran pretty fast. Even with our speed, we couldn't catch up to him."
"Yeah, there must be something wrong with that group of people."
The two of them shook their heads and left the Heavenly Moat Ridge.
How could Zhang Xing let them catch up to him?
He climbed up the Heavenly Moat Ridge and looked around to make sure there was no one around. He then put away the dragons and rode Saint One, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the news of the Heavenly Moat Ridge's fall had already reached the White Tiger Sect.
The six guardian elders and dozens of ordinary elders gathered together to discuss how to deal with the upcoming situation.
"Lin Huxiao has failed in his duty. He should be punished!"
"Yes!
He is the highest commander of the Vanguard Battalion. He neglected his duty and was careless. In the end, he led to the complete defeat of our sect! "
"1.6 million disciples!
How tragic! "
"..."
The three factions that opposed Lin Huxiao all started to add insult to injury.
The other two factions were not on good terms with them. They remained silent and remained neutral.
"Alright!
Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. Everyone should focus on the upcoming battle. "
"..."
The six guardian elders' meeting lasted for three days and three nights.
The Vermilion Bird army did not continue to attack the White Tiger Sect's territory.
They were recuperating and waiting for reinforcements.
Now that they had occupied the Heavenly Moat Ridge, there was no need to rush to attack.
As long as the conditions were right, they could attack whenever they wanted to.
Half a month later, Zhang Xing led the group of dragons to the White Tiger Sect's mountain gate in a sorry state.
"Acting Chiliarch Zhang Xing of the Vanguard Battalion requests to enter the sect!"
The White Tiger Sect was currently on high alert.
No one was allowed to enter the sect without permission from the higher-ups.
The news was passed up layer by layer.
The White Tiger Sect's Supreme Council Hall was holding the 19th meeting regarding the recapture of the Heavenly Moat Ridge.
The six leaders argued for eight hours every day.
No one was willing to let their own troops take the lead.
When they heard that 102 people from the Vanguard Battalion had returned alive, they were all very surprised.
"Let them in for training!"
One of the Guardian Elders said.
A moment later, Zhang Xing and the dragons took the emergency wartime teleportation formation and arrived outside the council hall.
Zhang Xing was brought in alone.
After a series of detailed inquiries, all the big shots knew what happened after the Heavenly Moat Ridge was lost.
This news was extremely important to them.
At the very least, they now knew just how many soldiers the Vermillion Bird Army had invested.
After encouraging Zhang Xing, they continued the meeting.
Three days later, in the residence of Elder Shi Tianen, one of the Six Great Guardian Elders.
Zhang Xing stood at the side of the living room with his hands hanging down. Fifty meters above him sat an old man.
The person on the left was Elder Jian.
On the right was a man of similar age to Elder Jian.
Further down, the people sitting on the left and right were all important figures of the Stone Faction.
"Zhang Xing, even though you've been defeated this time, you've still made a great contribution.
His ability to lead troops into battle was unquestionable, and he was also very good at dealing with unexpected situations on the battlefield.
The six of us old men discussed your record.
Although his cultivation realm was not high enough, his ability to command troops made him a talented commander.
The other five Protector Elders suggest that you lead a million troops to take back the Heavenly Moat Ridge.
Although I strongly opposed it, I can't do it alone!
You also know that they are trying to kill you by praising you and using this to attack me, Shi Tianen.
Therefore, I can only lower your position to deputy commander and acting commander.
Do you have anything you want to say? "
Zhang Xing listened quietly. He didn't know how much of Shi Tianen's words were exaggerated.
However, he knew that he had achieved his goal.
