The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

After Zuo Nian walked lightly out of the magnificent gate of Washington Palace, he narrowed his eyes slightly, looked around, then slowly bent the index finger of his right hand and carefully placed it between his slightly thin lips.

Then he took a deep breath and blew hard on the finger. Suddenly, a sharp and unique whistle sounded through the sky, as if it would penetrate the entire sky.

However, before he lowered his finger from his lips, a dark shadow suddenly streaked across the sky.

Accompanied by the sound of flapping wings, a huge wild goose covered with shiny black feathers swooped down like an arrow and finally landed steadily in front of Zuo Nian.

Seeing this, Zuo Nian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. He lightly lifted his toes, as if an invisible force was holding him up, and his entire body slowly rose into the air.

At the same time, the true energy around his body gathered to the soles of his feet like a tide, forming a faint cyclone, allowing him to move freely in the air.

In this way, Zuo Nian easily moved onto the back of the wild goose.

However, what was surprising was that just as Zuo Nian was about to reach out to touch the goose's back, it suddenly flapped its broad and powerful wings as if it had telepathy.

In an instant, an extremely strong whirlwind suddenly swept up, raising a cloud of sand and dust all over the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the man and the wild goose disappeared into the thick clouds like ghosts, leaving no trace.

Time passed quietly, and before they knew it, they had been flying in the air for a long time.

It was a sunny morning at first, but in the blink of an eye, the sun set and night fell; when the sky was full of twinkling stars, the eastern sky gradually turned pale, and a red sun burst out, illuminating the earth again.

Along the way, they crossed countless mountains, rivers and vast plains.

Everywhere you look along the way, you'll see a vibrant scene: tender green buds are breaking through the soil, gorgeous flowers are about to bloom, and crystal clear dewdrops are gathering more and more on the buds, and finally they can't bear the weight and drip down, wetting the lush green grass below.

However, as they continued to move north, the scenery before them gradually changed.

The once green and vibrant land gradually became barren and desolate, and was replaced by an endless desert area with no grass.

Looking around, all you can see are golden sand dunes and undulating sand waves. Occasionally you can see a few drought-resistant plants growing tenaciously in the wind and sand.

Finally, after a long journey, Zuo Nian saw his destination from afar - the Mu family army's camp.

So he quickly gave an order to the goose below him. After receiving the order, the goose suddenly folded its wings and descended rapidly, rushing towards the ground like a meteor.

A moment later, it landed steadily in front of the Mu family army camp.

In this world where monsters coexist, people have long been accustomed to all kinds of strange creatures.

The soldiers on guard performed their duties day after day. When the unique black goose with flaming eyes appeared in their sight, they just turned their heads slightly and glanced at it lightly.

This black fire goose is obviously not an ordinary goose. It exudes a mysterious and dangerous aura, but for the battle-hardened soldiers, such scenes are already commonplace.

So they quickly looked away and refocused their attention on the front.

At this moment, a figure caught their attention—it was Zuo Nian, a demon catcher who was surrounded by fairy energy.

He was seen walking towards the tent with an upright posture and steady steps. However, the soldiers were not moved by this. They raised their weapons without hesitation, blocked Zuo Nian's way, and shouted in unison.

"This is a military camp, and no unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter!" The voice was loud and firm, revealing unquestionable majesty.

Zuo Nian suddenly pulled his right hand, and the token on his waist that was originally covered tightly by his robe was pulled out in an instant.

He waved his arm, and the token shot forward like a golden lightning, and stopped steadily in mid-air.

When everyone looked closely, they saw that the token was surrounded by a faint golden light, as if it was infused with a mysterious and powerful immortal power.

The light flickered, sometimes like a blazing flame, sometimes like a gurgling spring, which made people look sideways.

Anyone with a little knowledge can recognize at a glance that this is an exclusive token that only a heavenly-level monster catcher can possess.

As expected, when the soldiers on guard saw the token, the expressions on their faces immediately changed 180 degrees.

They were originally a bit wary and arrogant, but at this moment they instantly became extremely respectful.

At this moment, a middle-aged deputy general wearing light armor slowly walked out of the observation tower.

This man had a face full of stubble, looking a bit unkempt and careless.

However, when his calm and deep gaze fell on Zuo Nian's angular face, he first showed a hint of doubt, and then his eyes gradually changed from unfamiliar to familiar, and finally revealed a look of relief and joy after a long separation.

"It's been over three years since we last met. I never thought you'd become a Heavenly Grade Monster Hunter in just three years. To say you're exceptionally gifted is an understatement."

"You are still so fond of joking, Lieutenant General Lin!" Zuo Nian responded expressionlessly.

"You are so serious, kid!" Lieutenant General Lin waved his hand, and the fence in front of the tent was quickly moved away by the soldiers on guard.

Lieutenant General Lin waved to Zuo Nian again and strode down from the pavilion. "Come in and we'll talk!"
