Sure enough, on the third day after Jun Lin's abandonment and the old city, the Imperial Court issued a notice asking for and criticizing Jun Lin Yue's abandonment, demanding that he be seized back at the border fortress city as soon as possible.

Jun Lin Yue gritted his teeth as he stared at the imperial edict. The abandonment of the city was only a strategy for the use of troops, and only those with limited experience would find it inappropriate. Of course, in the absence of the Human Emperor, it was best to not know how to handle the situation. It only concerned the prestige and interests of the country.

Moreover, perhaps half a month later, Jun Linyue would have ambushed the main forces of the Unholy Cult and successfully exterminated them. At that time, not only would he be able to take back the border city, he would also be able to take back the jurisdiction of the entire three peaks. Needless to say, the informer was none other than Jun Lengshao.

The moment he thought of Jun Lincer, he realized that he had been gone for a long time. Moreover, after she came back from the demon race, Yun Dai'er had also unknowingly disappeared. This made him somewhat puzzled. However, the moment he thought of it, he focused on studying the terrain and defense methods of the Qingzhou River.

After two days, Frontier City was in a mess. Everywhere the gunfire went, the houses were reduced to ashes, the grass on the ground was covered in thick dust, and even the streets and alleys could no longer be seen.

But there was no way back. All of the buildings were razed to the ground. No one had left the border city during the war. No matter whether they were adults or children, men or women, all died in the flames of war.

People didn't know where the Nether Sect's artillery came from. Although there was a tradition of refining gunpowder in the way of cultivation, but throughout the decades that the Nether Sect had been established in the martial world, they had always won through mystical arts. However, this time, they seemed to be somewhat anxious.

On the other side of the Qingzhou River, Jun Lanyue saw the devastation caused by the gunfire. Smoke rose up, as if it was striking his face.

He clenched his fists. Why does the Nether Sect always target me, Jun Lanyue?

At this moment, a thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately called for his two subordinates. Zhao Lin and Sun Qi accompanied Jun Lanyue in the military market, but they had never used them before. The two of them knelt on the ground, awaiting orders.

"Zhao Lin, Sun Qi, the two of you have followed me for many days. Since my uncle sent you to protect me, then I won't say anything else." "Now that the war is at a loss, we should retreat and abandon the city. Right now, we need you to bring the three elites to sneak into the Nether Sect and assassinate the leader of the Nether Sect. After this is done, I will reward you handsomely."

"Reporting to the marquis …" The two of them glanced at each other, then Zhao Lin said, "Marquis, leave the assassination to us." Since we were young, the two of us have always shared good fortune and bad luck, and we have a tacit understanding of each other. If there's someone else, it might affect us. "

Jun Lanyue nodded and said, "Mm, I am very happy to hear that. However, the terrain of the Nether Sect is very complex. With so many people, I'm afraid you two won't be able to come over. If only you go, will you be able to complete the mission? "

"Master Hou, please be at ease. I promise that I will bring the head of the Nether Sect to meet you!"

The two of them said in unison.

"Very good!" He poured two bowls of wine and said, "But there is one thing. If you are caught... Who's the cause of this? "

"Master Hou, assassinating the leader of the Nether Sect is the wish of us two brothers for so many years. He killed many innocent and harmed many civilians, so he died an early death. This matter has nothing to do with anyone or any organization! that makes us willing to do it on our own. I will die with no regrets! "

"Yes." Jun Lanyue nodded. You are all very smart! "

After they finished talking, the two of them seemed to be burning with anger as they finished the two bowls of strong wine.

"Master Hou, this matter should not be delayed. Let's set off tonight!" Sun Qi was also eager to give it a try.

"Wait a moment." With that, he took out two bamboo tubes from the table and gave them to the two. After the two of them caught it, they looked at each other.

"I believe you know what this is for. There will be someone at the base of the Abyssal Mountain to receive you. After this is done, anyone can release this firework and I will send people to create chaos in front of you. You guys will have to wait for an opportunity to escape. If two of them were placed together, would it be a success? If only one was placed together, would it be a failure? Do you understand? "

"Understood!" the two answered in unison.

"One more thing." Jun Linyue took out an envelope from his chest and said, "If we don't succeed, find a way to leave this letter in the Nether Sect!"

"Yes sir!" After they finished talking, they turned around and left.

Jun Lin took a deep breath, put on his armor, and ordered the entire army to gather, preparing to launch a counterattack against the Netherworld Sect. By the time night fell, Jun Linyue had already led the army and the elite Holy Scale Guards to lurk near the border city of Qingzhou and the three peaks of the main mountain.

The autumn night was very cold, the armor cold, the troops behind her motionless. The Golden Scale Guards were also nearby, but they had taken off the golden armor that symbolized the Great Yang Empire and changed into black armors, hiding in the darkness.

The wind was howling, and his hands and feet were stiff. They awaited the news of Zhao Lin and Sun Qi. However, even though it was already the middle of the night, there was still no movement.

But on the Nether Sect's side, the High Priestess's chamber was completely still. It was as if the main peak had been emptied and no one could be found at all. This made the two of them extremely suspicious. At the same time, a sense of fear filled their hearts. Could it be that they had been discovered?

When people are in a panic, they tend to think the worst. At this moment, their minds were filled with fear. Although his cultivation base was very high, he was still a bit afraid of the Heavy Profound Practitioners Faction that he had never met before.

At this moment, a little girl with two braids appeared in front of the two of them. She was holding a lantern. This little girl was Lin Che.

At this time, Lin Che saw two shadows, so he curiously asked, "Hey, not patrolling in the middle of the night, what are you guys doing?"

The two of them were fixed in the darkness.

The little girl said, "Hurry up and go back. I also want to go back to the Sect Leader, but he won't be able to come back for a while. "Hai."

With that, the girl turned and left. If one listened carefully, one would be able to hear that the little girl Lin Che's voice was a little shaky. It was unknown whether it was because it was too cold or because he was too afraid. However, this voice mostly used the tone of talking to their own people, which made it hard for the two of them to recognize him.

A long time after Lin Che disappeared, the two of them softly spoke, "Is what she said true? Right now, the Sect Leader of the Unholy Cult is not here? "

This was an excellent opportunity. Whether they wanted to retreat or attack, it all depended on the two fireworks in their hands.

But at this moment, Zhao Lin hesitated. The two of them looked at each other in the dark and rushed in the direction where the little girl disappeared.
