Luck taken away? It doesn't matter, I quietly become a god

On the way away from the forbidden area, Rong Shu glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the Shenfeng Army guards stationed in various places heading towards the mountain gate one after another.

problem occurs?

But judging from the calm demeanor of the Shenfeng Army guards, it didn't seem like anything major had happened at the mountain gate.

Rong Shu scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that all the guards of Junque Mountain were gradually gathering towards the mountain gate. This formation... looked a bit like a retreat? Gathering and regrouping?

She turned and followed, wanting to find out what was going on.

"Commander Xiao, you've changed shifts so quickly?" Rong Shu approached the commander of the patrol team.

The commander's surname is Xiao, and he comes from a branch of the Xiao family, one of the six great families. He is related to Xiao Zi'an as a fellow disciple. When this Commander Xiao met Rong Shu, he was very friendly.

Commander Xiao said, "Reporting to the Princess, I have received orders to change shifts. The next patrol team will take over in about an incense stick's time."

Rong Shu: "What happened? The top eight contestants haven't even left yet, why did they switch defenses so early?"

Rong Shu possesses a Divine Wind Token given to him by Di Chuchen, which allows him to mobilize two thousand Divine Wind soldiers at any time.

Although she hadn't used it much, she was still able to learn about the internal workings of the Kamikaze Army's military system thanks to this token.

This is not yet the time for Commander Xiao to lead his patrol team to rotate shifts.

Moreover, the troop rotation began before the next replacement troop had even arrived. Rong Shu did not believe that Commander Xiao would make such a mistake due to this "loophole".

The only explanation is that the "military order" he received was exactly that.

"This humble general also finds it strange. According to the rules, the normal rotation time is three days later, which is after the top eight heroes have received their rewards and left Junque Mountain... We escort the top eight heroes out of the mountain before we can report back," Commander Xiao said.

As the saying goes, one should not trouble two people with the same task.

During the eight finalists' journey into the mountains, the same patrol team was responsible for guarding and escorting them. If any problems arose afterward, the scope of suspicion could be narrowed down, and the patrol team could be held directly accountable.

"Reporting to the commander, all personnel have arrived and are ready to depart at any time!" a Kamikaze soldier reported.

Commander Xiao clasped his hands in greeting to Rong Shu: "Princess, military orders are absolute. This humble general and his men will depart now. The next patrol team will arrive in about half an incense stick's time..."

With his mind racing, Rong Shu asked, "Who is the commander of the next patrol team? Which legion will be drawing personnel from?"

"They're from the 25th Army Corps; the patrol commander's surname is Tian..."

"Commander Tian comes from the Tian family. Although the Tian family has declined and cannot compare with the six great families, the direct line of the Tian family lives in the capital of Shenfeng and has some kinship with the Mu family, the maternal family of the Seventh Prince and the Thirteenth Prince, so they have some support..."

Rong Shu understood the implied meaning in the words.

This Commander Tian is probably an arrogant person who is not easy to deal with.

Rong Shu secretly transmitted his voice: [Thank you for the reminder, Commander Xiao.]

Commander Xiao: [Please don't take these idle words to heart, Princess. You are of noble status and have His Highness the Crown Prince backing you up. That fellow Tian Fen is a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong; he has that much sense...]

After Commander Xiao led his team away from the mountain, Rong Shu's journey back to the back mountain was marked by a profound silence that seemed to have fallen over the entire area.

She passed by Liufang Pagoda on her way, and a gentle breeze blew, causing the ancient bells hanging beside the pagoda to ring out with a clear, crisp sound.

Rong Shu stared at the Liufang Tower for a moment, then heard Lu Zhuo's voice calling out to him.

"Rong Shu...something has happened."

Rong Shu turned around and took a step with the mayfly step, leaving the Liufang Tower behind.

The breeze was still blowing, but the bells on the tower had silently fallen silent...

"What happened?" Rong Shu asked as he appeared in front of Lu Zhuo and the others in the blink of an eye.

Lu Zhuo spoke with a slightly serious expression: "Rong Shu, the Thirteenth Prince, Di Mushan, has disappeared."

Xing Xue: "We've searched everywhere, but we haven't found him. Yan Dongliu, one of the top eight, was the last person to see Di Mushan. He should have gone in the direction of the forbidden area to the west."

There is an array shielding the area near the forbidden zone, which will block the detection of divine sense. If Di Mushan is too close to the forbidden zone, it will be difficult for Xing Xue and the others to detect him.

As the thirteenth prince of the Divine Wind, Di Mushan naturally had a "home advantage" compared to the other eight heroes. Perhaps he took some shortcut and evaded Xing Xue and the others' divine sense detection.

We will definitely find him.

Although there's not much danger in the back mountain, it's still not good to be unable to find anyone for a long time.

"You all keep an eye on the rest of the people first, and then go look for people in other places. I'll go to the forbidden area in the west to look for people," Rong Shu said.

"Well."

"Senior Sister Xingxue, let's split up and search from both sides," Lu Zhuo suggested.

Apart from Rong Shu, only Xing Xue and Lu Zhuo had the spiritual strength of the Nascent Soul stage. With the others grouped together, the six people were separated.
