Cen Xue knew that Elder Mu Yue definitely had a lot of questions for her. She turned to look at Helian Qi, "Prince Su, can you excuse yourself?"

After he had walked far away, Cen Xue finally spoke up, "Elder Mu Yue, I know that you are worried that I would get hurt, so you didn't let me go. But don't worry, I am fine. I promise you, I will definitely return you a safe and sound phoenix."

"Oh you, do you know how dangerous Red Mountain City is right now? The eighty thousand strong army is gathered outside the city, if there was even the slightest mistake, you and Phoenix would be dead!" Mu Yue was worried, but she had already made up her mind, making it difficult for her.

"I know this better than anyone. This body of mine belongs to the phoenix, so if I am injured, not only me, but the phoenix will be affected as well. But, do you understand my feelings right now? From the moment I opened my eyes last night and felt my heart beating, I had been controlling my emotions, because I was too excited and too happy, and I was able to stand together with my child, my newborn child! " Cen Xue excitedly swallowed her saliva. She had suppressed her emotions for too long, but now that they were released, her heart was in turmoil.

"Alright, alright. I understand your intentions. Go, but you must remember what you promised me. You must return safely. For the sake of the king, for the sake of your child …" Mu Yue knew that she couldn't stop her, so she let her go.

"En, I will definitely return safely!" Cen Xue smiled happily.

Mu Yue reminded Cen Xue repeatedly, afraid that something would happen to her. For safety's sake, let Bai Lu and Qing Song accompany her down the mountain, waiting for the army to arrive at the location of the Helian Zhan. However, Bai Lu and Qing Song were not aware of this secret.

The three of them descended the mountain together, not realizing that there was something wrong with the phoenix in front of them. Whether it was its appearance or voice, it was the phoenix that they recognized.

"Let's wait at the teahouse up ahead. We have to pass through this area. Prince Yu's army will definitely pass through this area." Qing Song pointed to a small teahouse not far away.

Cen Xue looked over. This teahouse seemed to still have her memories. She remembered that when Shi Yan came back from Tuva, he had indeed passed by here.

"Alright, let's wait here." Cen Xue nodded in agreement.

The small teahouse was built on the roadside, so it was the perfect place to wait for the army.

"Boss, bring me a pot of tea." Qing Song shouted.

"Alright." The owner of the teahouse responded enthusiastically.

The three of them found a random table to sit at, drinking tea while waiting. Elder Mu Yue said that within four hours, they would definitely pass through the foot of the Everlasting Mountain.

In front of him was Limitless Mountain. Cen Xue was in the Sacred Moon Sect, and as she looked at the mountain range in front of her, she couldn't help but struggle in her heart. She wanted to take a look at Cen Xue, even if it was just a glance.

However, now that the Red Mountain City soldiers were at hand, he could not delay his trip for the sake of his own selfishness. After considering it over and over again, he decided to not go to the Everlasting Mountain until he had forced the retreat of Tian Ye and Dong Wu's alliance army before heading up the mountain to visit Cen Xue.

Sitting on the horse, his eyes never left the Everlasting Mountain. As he thought about Cen Xue's beautiful and radiant smile, he felt sad.

Cen Xue, Qing Song, and Bai Lu had already been waiting at the teahouse for over two hours, but they had yet to find any trace of the army. This made Bai Lu complain impatiently, "Senior Brother, when are you coming? It's already afternoon!"

"What's there to be anxious about? Elder Mu Yue already said that the army will definitely pass by this place today. Be patient and wait a little longer!" Qing Song poured her a cup of tea, calming her anxious heart.

Cen Xue sat by the side, not speaking. She was worried that she would say something wrong, so it was better to just wait quietly.

"Look, that's Lou Lan's soldier, right?" Cen Xue had just put down her cup of tea when she raised her head to see over ten cavalry soldiers in uniform heading towards them.

Qing Song and Bai Lu both looked in the direction she pointed. It was indeed Lou Lan's cavalry. These ten or so people should be scouting ahead, and since the scouting cavalry was already there, they believed that the army would arrive soon.

When the cavalrymen saw the small teahouse on the roadside, they seemed to have a discussion about it and rode towards the teahouse on their steeds.

"Army lord, are we going to Red Mountain City?" The owner of the teahouse welcomed them warmly, not daring to offend them.

"Right. The city of Redmount is currently under attack. Prince Yu has personally ordered his 60,000 strong army to come here and assist us. We are here to scout the road, and soon, our army will arrive." The leader seemed to have some official position. After dismounting, he sat at the table and casually chatted with the boss.

Qing Song gave the two of them a meaningful glance before walking towards them. "May I ask, sir, when will the army arrive here?"

The leading man looked at the three of them and asked doubtfully, "Who are you? Why are you asking about this?"

Of the three, only Qing Song was a male, Cen Xue and Bai Lu stood behind him.

"I am Qingsong, an admittance disciple of Mister Ghost Valley. Under the orders of my master, I am waiting for Prince Yu's army and will accompany them to Red Mountain City." The pine tree was gentle and refined; it already had a bit of the demeanor of a ghost valley.

"Oh, I've heard of Mr. Gui Gu. Who are the two women behind you?" He looked at Cen Xue and Bai Lu behind him.

"This is my junior sister, Bai Lu. As for this one, she is the Holy Maiden of the Sacred Moon Sect, Miss Phoenix, she is also under the orders of the elders of the sect this time, and is heading to Red Mountain City in total!"

The man nodded, as if understanding.

"Nice to meet you!" The army will arrive in no time at all. At most an hour and at least the time for an incense stick to burn, everyone might as well sit down and wait. " The rest of the ten or so people had already sat down. It seemed that they were also planning to wait here for the army.

"Sure."

The three of them returned to their original positions and waited with the rest of the cavalry.

The time it took for an incense stick to burn had passed. Cen Xue kept staring at the main road, but she kept failing again and again.

"When is this going to happen? We've been sitting here all morning! " Bailu Yi sighed, complaining once again.

"Junior sister, since they say we're almost here, then let's be patient. Let's wait a bit longer." Qingsong looked at her. She was right, the three of them had already been sitting here for the entire morning. If it weren't for her master's instructions, they would have left long ago.

Cen Xue took out some of the rations Elder Mu Yue had prepared and handed it over to them. She calmly said, "Come, eat something. Your interest will soon arrive."

"Thank you, Phoenix." Bailu Yi received the steamed bun from her and thanked her with a smile.

"Stop talking, hurry up and eat." Now that Cen Xue had the status of Phoenix, she had to get used to people calling her Phoenix.

Helian Haoyan led his army forward. When they reached the junction of Everlasting Mountain, he stopped and stared at the mountain path that led up the mountain …

"Cen Xue, wait for me. I'll come see you soon." Helian Jue considered the big picture and gave up the idea of going up the mountain.

The troop's footsteps could be felt from a few hundred feet away as they trembled in the dust. The cavalrymen seemed to have sensed the army's approach and immediately put down their teacups and mounted their horses. "The army is approaching."

Before mounting the horse, the leader of the soldiers did not forget to remind them.

"Let's go …"

The three people of Qingsong's group followed in their footsteps as well.

"Reporting..." Reporting to the Prince, the scouts have brought back three disciples who claim to be Mister Ghost Valley and the Holy Maiden of the Sacred Moon Sect! "

"Bring them up here." He Lian Duo was puzzled as he seemed to have never heard of this matter before.

When the soldiers brought the three up, Helian Jue immediately recognized Phoenix. Previously, when Cen Xue had gotten married, Phoenix had accompanied Elder Mu Yue to live in the palace for a month, so he had some impression of her.

"Greetings, Your Highness!" The three of them said in unison.

"Exempt from the formalities. This King was wondering who it was, so it's the Phoenix." Helian Jue sat on the horse. Other than knowing Phoenix, he had no impression of the other two people.

Cen Xue raised her head. That's right, she was now Phoenix. Looking at the Helian Jue that she had not seen for months on horseback, she could see fatigue and sadness on his face.

"Your Royal Highness, Phoenix, under the orders of Elder Mu Yue, specially with Old mister Gui Gu's two beloved disciples, went down the mountain to help the army eliminate the enemy. Although we cannot go up to the battlefield to kill the enemy, the army does not have any special problems, or the enemy uses some ruthless means, I believe that we can still be of help, I hope that Your Highness can keep us here!" Cen Xue took a step forward and explained the purpose of their visit.

"Good, so you are the beloved disciple of Mr. Gui Gu. With your help, I believe that the death and injury of our army will be greatly reduced!" Helian Jue welcomed them very much.

The Valley of the Ghost's medical skills naturally could not be doubted. Although he did not personally go down the mountain, with his beloved disciple around, he believed that it would be of great help.

"Thank you for your kindness, Prince!"

Along the way, she stayed with Qing Song and Bai Lu, and she rarely had the chance to meet Helian Zhan. She wanted to ask him about the situation of Shi Yan and the kids, but she could not find a suitable excuse to get close to him.

The army had rested for two hours that night. After eating some rations they had brought with them, they rushed towards the Red Mountain City. They were bound to arrive there before noon tomorrow.

Cen Xue's entire journey was very quiet. It seemed like she could only look for an opportunity after arriving at Red Mountain City.

At this moment, Red Mountain City was in an emergency situation because Dong Wu's army had already reunited with Tianjun's army. However, Lou Lan's reinforcements were still on their way, and they had yet to arrive. This caused He Long to become anxious.

Hearing this, the Nangong father and son were crafty and cunning, especially Nangong Jin, who had surpassed the father to outdo the son. Hearing this, the Nangong father and son were crafty and cunning, especially Nangong Jin, who had outshone the father and son.

Sure enough, early in the morning, groups of refugees gathered at the gates of Red Mountain City. They were all begging under the city walls, hoping that they could get into the city.

"General, do you think these people are spies of the enemy?" He Long stood on the city wall, looking down at the hundreds of civilians who had already fled. It was hard for him to tell if it was the enemy's spies or not.

Among these people were old people, women, children, and strong young men. It was certain that some of these people were definitely villagers from the small villages outside the city, but some of them were definitely mixed with the enemy's spies.
