"Oh right, what has Zhang Risheng been doing these days?"
"Vice Sect Leader, he's been selling pills and magic treasures at the auction house."
"Selling things?
What's he selling? "
"They sell everything, all kinds of things."
"Forget about him, we'll set off tomorrow morning!"
…
Chen Xian had just left when Zhang Xing's expeditionary army arrived.
"Hmm?
The Vermilion Bird Army has given up and retreated! "
Hei Jiu, who was wearing a commander's uniform, exclaimed.
"It'd be strange if they didn't retreat. They must have received news that Boss has become the leader of the White Tiger Sect."
Bai Qi was also wearing a commander's uniform and was riding on a tall horse with a smug expression.
Huang Ba and Lan Liu nodded their heads at the same time.
They were the four dragons that Zhang Xing had left behind. Black Dragon Hei Jiu, White Dragon Bai Qi, Golden Dragon Huang Ba, and Blue Dragon Lan Liu.
With the Four Dragons leading the army, Zhang Xing was quite assured.
If anything happened, the Four Dragons could summon Zhang Xing and he would be able to return in time.
"Just follow them. When they retreat to the Vermilion Bird Sect headquarters, we'll follow them there.
But now, we should hold a banquet to celebrate the victory of the first battle! "
Hei Jiu laughed and smacked his lips.
"Yes!
That's right, all of you have worked hard, we should reward you! "
Bai Qi chimed in.
"You're right, brothers. Let's get started!"
Huang Ba's eyes lit up as he said impatiently.
They didn't harass the elderly and disabled in the city, nor did they harass the residents who couldn't escape.
All of the spirit beasts and normal livestock reared by the major families and businesses were left behind.
After that, the White Tiger Army swept through all of the delicacies in the entire Stone Peak Castle.
Of course, there was no lack of fine wine.
Led by the four dragons, the foodies were like locusts. Wherever they went, not even a chicken feather was left behind. All the delicious food was eaten by them.
For the next few decades, the name of the glutton Zhang Xing would spread throughout the entire First Heaven.
Who else could take the blame for this if not Zhang Xing?
He was the sect leader and the Grand Marshal of the expeditionary army!
When Zhang Xing found out about this, he felt extremely aggrieved!
However, the facts were there, and he was powerless to reverse the situation. He could only accept it.
While the Four Dragons were eating along the way, Zhang Xing followed Chen Xian's army to Mount Vermillion Bird.
Regardless of whether it was Stonefill Castle or the various cities along the way, the nobles and merchants all carried gold, silver, and treasures as if they were fleeing for their lives. They followed behind the army and arrived at Mount Vermillion Bird.
However, if he wanted to pass through Mount Vermillion Bird, he would have to pay a considerable amount of spirit stones.
This was equivalent to buying his life.
No matter how expensive it was, they had to pay because a large-scale war was about to break out here. If they didn't want to die, they had to pay up obediently.
As for the small merchants and ordinary people who couldn't afford the spirit stones, they were all gathered in the small town at the foot of the mountain.
They didn't know what their fates were, and they could only hope that the Vermilion Bird Sect would be merciful enough to let them pass.
Thankfully, the Vermilion Bird Sect still treated its citizens with some compassion.
After they had ransacked the rich, they let the poor go.
There was no point in keeping them alive. Even if they died, they wouldn't be of any use.
Mount Vermillion Bird was connected to one another, and the entire mountain range was like a wave that stretched between heaven and earth.
The mountain range wasn't very tall, and it was suitable for an army to be stationed there.
Chen Xian knew that ordinary soldiers were no longer of much use, but he couldn't weaken the Vermilion Bird Sect's morale.
He distributed all the soldiers into the mountain range and erected the flags of the various armies on the mountain peaks.
"Come, Zhang Xing!
This was a battle of kings against kings!
After this battle, there will only be one voice in the entire First Heaven. Let's wait and see who it is! "
Chen Xian thought to himself worriedly.
