"Someone, send him out of the camp."

Luo Tiange, the commander of the Night King Mansion, threw three Heavenly Position Minister Tokens onto the desk and commanded in a deep voice.

The loss of two Heavenly Persons consecutively had a tremendous impact on the Night King Mansion.

Furthermore, news about the catastrophe at the Moon Worship Sect only worsened his mood.

However, he understood the principle of diplomatic immunity where envoys during wars were not to be harmed.

Soon, a soldier clad in battle armor entered and escorted the elder from the Divine Sword Sect out.

The elder from Divine Sword Sect was curious, had something happened to the Moon Worship Sect?

But he also knew he wouldn’t be privy to military secrets, as the commander of the Night King Mansion would surely keep him in the dark.

Thus, he could only turn and leave the commander’s tent.

After the elder from the Divine Sword Sect had left, Luo Tiange allowed his men to enter.

"What happened to the Moon Worship Sect?"

Luo Tiange asked in a heavy tone.

"Sir, the Holy Daughter of the Moon Worship Sect and the entire half-demon army... were completely annihilated on a mountain path in Moon Wheel County..."

The subordinate hastily reported.

"What did you say? The half-demon army was completely annihilated?"

Luo Tiange stood up instinctively.

This shocking news was even more surprising than the loss of the two Heavenly Persons.

In large-scale battles, the half-demon army played a significant role, even affecting the outcome of the war.

The previous battle at Qishui had already demonstrated the terrible power of the half-demon army.

Even though he had lost two Heavenly Persons, as long as this half-demon army existed, he was confident he could still conquer the Divine Sword Sect.

But now... the half-demon army was completely wiped out?

Everyone present, including all Heavenly Persons and army commanders, was incredulous.

They knew just how formidable this half-demon army from the Moon Worship Sect was.

How could they have been utterly destroyed?

"Could it be that the Martial Arts Army from the Night King Mansion circled behind and ambushed the half-demon army?"

A Heavenly Person couldn’t help but speak out.

That half-demon army was much stronger than a regular Martial Arts Army, and even a Heavenly Person might face great risks confronting it.

Only a combined attack of the Martial Arts Army with a Heavenly Person might have the power to annihilate this half-demon army.

"Sir, according to our scouts... the battle area was not large, bodies were mostly concentrated on the main road, and... all were clearly cut down by the same type of Sword Qi, seemingly without any resistance... Only that Goddess from the Moon Worship Sect, it seems she took poison to kill herself."

The reporting subordinate quickly added.

"Could it be... the Imperial Family dispatched a top-tier Heavenly Person?"

Luo Tiange muttered to himself.

But he felt it was unlikely.

It wasn’t only the Night King Mansion who raised troops; there were several others with even greater momentum... The main force of the Imperial Family was dealing with those... It shouldn’t be possible for them to send a top-tier Heavenly Person here, right?

"Have all the bodies brought back, I want to examine them personally."

Luo Tiange’s eyes flickered coldly as he immediately gave the order.

Now, having lost two Heavenly Persons and with the Moon Worship Sect’s half-demon army completely decimated, this meant that he instantly lost a significant portion of his power.

This was extremely disadvantageous for the upcoming assault on the Divine Sword Sect.

Most importantly... who exactly annihilated the half-demon army?

The possibility of the Night King Mansion’s Martial Arts Army cooperating with a Heavenly Person could almost be ruled out, moreover... such a large mobilization could not have gone unnoticed by the scouts dispatched by the Night King Mansion.

Then it only leaves the Imperial Family sending a top-tier Heavenly Person.

He sighed in his heart, realizing he must seek support from Prince Luo now.

Yet... the Night King Mansion also faced great pressure.

The Night King Mansion was not only confronting the power of the Night King Mansion and the Divine Sword Sect, but the south also faced squeezing from the Imperial Family’s rebellion-suppressing army, and to ensure their own safety, the Fan Royal Mansion in the west also reacted by gathering a large army outside Jing Pass.

Once the Fan Royal Mansion was persuaded by the Imperial Family, the pressure on the Night King Mansion would increase drastically.

Just when everything seemed advantageous, a series of heavy losses suddenly struck, leaving Luo Tiange deeply frustrated.

At this rate, not to mention capturing the Divine Sword Sect and sealing Taicang Pass, the counteroffensive from the Night King Mansion could sweep through at any moment.

He now found himself in a difficult predicament, trapped between advancing and retreating.

.....

After Elder Xu, who was dispatched to deliver items to the Night King Mansion’s grand camp, returned to the Divine Sword Sect, he immediately relayed the news he heard.

"The Moon Worship Sect had an incident?"

Several Heavenly Persons gathered together to analyze this information.

In the previous battle at Qishui, the sudden appearance of the half-demon army was what caused the Night King Mansion’s army to rout.

That half-demon army must have been dispatched by the Moon Worship Sect.

However, with too few clues, they could not derive the true information hidden within this intelligence.

"Could it be possible that the half-demon army suffered a mishap?"

Xiao Wendao suddenly spoke out.

Although he considered this possibility unlikely.

After all, how powerful was the half-demon army?

It couldn’t possibly have suffered an accident so easily.

But he thought of that mysterious powerful individual, if... they encountered the half-demon army, what would the outcome be?

Of course, he did not voice this thought.

"Our spies were sent out, most of whom have lost contact, and there’s no way to know the exact situation... We can only wait until the battle begins to see if that half-demon army will still appear."

Ye Tianren from the Night King Mansion sighed.

Now, outside the Divine Sword Sect, Night King Mansion’s scouts were everywhere.

Thus, the covert battles between spies from both sides were extremely brutal.

At this stage, the Night King Mansion was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of intelligence, unable to gather many pieces of information in a timely manner.

"Ye Tianren, from the Night King Mansion side, how soon can reinforcements be sent?"
