Luan City and a personal guard carried Helian Shan's corpse, Lu Keyu and another personal guard. Using a stretcher, they carried Helian Manqiu into the large tent.

"This lowly general pays his respect to the great general."

Luan Cheng dropped to his knees and dropped down to his knees to kowtow.

What he saw was a pair of eyes that were deep and pitch-black like the night sky. The sky was filled with bright, cold stars, and they were right in front of his eyes. For the first time, he understood what a Stellar Eye was. Those eyes seemed to be able to see through the hearts of humans.

Even within the tent, his glory and majesty shone brilliantly like the sun at high noon. No one dared to look directly at him, and they instantly knelt down and kowtowed to him. A ray of sunlight passed through the tent and shone on his golden armor, the dazzling radiance surpassing even the golden sunlight.

Even Helian Manqiu was intimidated by his glory and majesty. She could not help but slightly lower her eyes, avoiding the light radiating from his body.

There was a moment of silence within the tent as several generals stood upright around him. They all lowered their heads and held their breaths, respectfully bowing their heads to serve.

"Helian Qingyu pays his respects to the great general. Please forgive me for being so heavily injured that I am unable to stand up and pay my respects."

Helian Manqiu leaned against the pillow and the bedding, half lying on the stretcher. She raised her fist and looked at this legendary figure.

His hair was dyed in ink and was not messy at all. A cluster of red dancing on top of his golden helmet held his hair in place. His golden armor shone brightly under the light, looking like the sun, awe-inspiring like a god.

His face was as hard as a rock, his skin was the color of wheat, and his eyebrows were deeply furrowed. The brilliance in his piercing phoenix eyes could move one's soul, and a faintly discernable baleful aura was emitted from his body. A broad shoulder, slender waist, and masculine yet ruthless. His manliness was revealed from under the dazzling golden armor. With a single glance, he had an awe-inspiring presence.

The faint murderous aura that he had tempered over the years was not very obvious, but it was terrifying. It was like a sharp sword that had gone through many battles, sealed in its scabbard but still unable to conceal its sharpness. He had been in the upper class for a long time, leading soldiers to battle on the battlefield.

When she met his gaze, Helian Manqiu's heartbeat suddenly stopped for a split-second, as if something had struck a chord in her heart.

Impossible, it's him!

With her appearance, there was no mistake. She was the person she had been bitterly pursuing for the past several years.

Helian Manqiu's pupils suddenly contracted. She narrowed her eyes. Had that person also come to this world?

Could it be that person?

Thinking about it, the corners of Helian Manqiu's lips curled up slightly. She gave a faint smile like a cloud of smoke: "I have long heard of the great general's fame. I am Helian Qingyu, the son of the Military State's garrison. I have specially come to pay my respects to the Great General. "

"Helian Shan ordered you to come in his place?"

"If not, how would we dare disobey the general's orders?" I am here with my father's body to pay my respects to the great general. "

She turned her head and gestured for Luan City to open the box, revealing the corpse of Helian Shan.

The expressions of the people in the tent changed greatly. Of course, they knew that the Military City's garrison, the Fringe City's general, Helian Mountain. He hadn't thought that Helian Shan would have already been killed in battle. His son had actually brought Helian Mountain's corpse to this place.

"The remains of my father are here. Please examine them. The only reason was that my father was killed in battle. Right now, I am in charge of the military, so I am here to pay my respects to the general."

Gan Zhixuan slowly stood up and walked out from behind the marshal's desk. He walked in front of Helian Shan's corpse, bowed deeply, and knelt down on one knee to kowtow.

"General Helian did not want to meet with the general again, but under such circumstances. We have alerted the general's heroic spirit. Please forgive us General, and allow us to send you on your way. "

When the generals in the tent saw this, they all knelt down on one knee.

"Thank you, General! Please get up!"

Gan Yuxuan personally closed the box. "If you don't want General Helian to die in battle, I'll personally support the general and send him to his grave."

Tears welled up in Luan Cheng's eyes as he bowed, "Thank you for your kindness, General. I can't thank you enough from all over the military state."

"Of course."

Her body was long and elegant, just like a pine tree. She had the unparalleled grace of Ling Shuang and Ao Xue, bathed in blood and surrounded by the wind. She stood up like a golden mountain.

"Helian Qingyu, are you the one in charge of the military state in place of General Helian?"

"Exactly so. That letter was personally written by me."

"When did General Helian die in battle?"

"Yesterday morning."

Gan Yuxuan looked deeply at Helian Manqiu. He could see that she was seriously injured, and her pale face was as white as a water lotus, carrying an indescribable beauty.

In his eyes, she was still a child, a big child.

Naturally, he knew that Helian Shan had twins. He was only fourteen years old.

Was this young man in front of her who was prettier than a woman really the inventor of those sharp weapons? What was she capable of? To be in charge of military affairs at such a tender age?

She was as beautiful as a snow lotus, and there was no trace of fear or panic on her delicate and tender face. Her face was calm and tranquil, giving off a faint sense of confidence and steadiness that was different from that of an ordinary person.

However, it was not the first time that she had seen his reverence and fear. It was as if they had met many times already, and now that she had only come to visit her old friend, her attitude was neither servile nor overbearing.

"Helian Qing requests the great general to submit. I hope the great general will comply. From now on, the warriors of our Army Region will be loyal to the great general!"

Her eyes were shining like amber, like the autumn river under the moonlit night. The sparkling waves were unable to see through her thoughts.

This was the Shuishui Duo Pupil, with eyes as clear as autumn water, eyes as clear as a mountain spring, and eyes as clear as the surface of a lake. It made him momentarily absent-minded. This beautiful youth was able to cause people to secretly sigh in admiration with just a glance, and his gaze didn't want to leave.

Luan Cheng and the rest kneeled on the ground, feeling anxious. They didn't know what Gan Zhixuan would decide.

Gan Yuxuan looked down at Helian Manqiu for a moment. "Last night, those weapons that caused heavy casualties among my men, were you the one who invented them?"

"Yes. It was created in a hurry, and has not yet been able to bring out the maximum effect. If I can improve it again, it will definitely be even more powerful."

"This commander accepts the surrender of the military state." This commander-in-chief accepts the surrender of the military state.

"Thank you, general. I will immediately open the gates and welcome you into the city."

"This marshal will personally escort General Helian's body into the city."

"Great General, I can't thank you enough. Please order your men, we welcome you into the city."

"Dou Ming, gather all three thousand soldiers. Follow me to escort General Helian's body into the city. Bring me the flag. After entering the city, issue a flag on top of the city wall."

"This general obeys."

"Sure, once grandfather enters the city, send someone to the other three sects to inform them that the prefecture lord has already accepted and is requesting them to retreat."

"As you command."

Gan Zhixuan stood up and personally carried Helian Shan's body out of the tent.

Helian Manqiu glanced at Luan City and said, "Luan City, go back first and notify Ding Ziyang to open the city gates and welcome the great general into the city."

"Yes, this general obeys. Great General, this general will take his leave."

Luan City quickly rushed to the east gate and calmed down. They were willing to allow Xuan Fang to surrender, so there was no need for them to bitterly endure.
