Shangguan Xi threw his head back and laughed, his laughter echoing in the silent forest.

He sneered, "What a bunch of fools! They dare to go against me and are courting death. Ignore them! Falling behind in this forest means death."

At this time, one of the subordinates couldn't help but ask curiously: "Master, if that's the case, then why don't we follow the army's secret route and instead choose to go through this terrifying forest?"

Shangguan Xi's gaze narrowed slightly, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

He said coldly, "This general sent two groups of people to explore. Although there was no loss in the secret passage, it is too strange. In comparison, the upper part is safer."

The subordinate continued to ask: "But master, we have lost so many people up there, how are we going to explain this to the higher-ups?"

Shangguan Xi turned his head abruptly, staring fiercely at the person in front of him, and said viciously: "This general does not need to explain to anyone! Remember, if it weren't for this general, none of you would be alive. Hahahaha..."

Shangguan Xi's wild laughter resounded throughout the forest. In the silence everywhere, the laughter seemed particularly strange.

Shangguan Qingzheng was filled with rage, gritting his teeth and saying, "How despicable he is that he can still laugh! Murong Bai, I will make him pay the price!"

Murong Bai held Shangguan Qing tightly in his arms and said to her gently, "Qing'er, it's not the right time yet. We need to wait a little longer."

Shangguan Qing nodded obediently, but her eyes were still firm and persistent. She gritted her teeth and stared at Shangguan Xi.

At this moment, Shangguan Xi seemed to notice the strange atmosphere around him. The most important thing was that he always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him from behind.

He immediately said loudly: "This place is really weird, we must leave here as soon as possible."

After saying this, he quickened his pace.

They successfully arrived at a mysterious place in the evening.

When everyone saw the scene before them, they were all stunned with shock.

Shangguan Xi's men opened their mouths in surprise and stared at this place in disbelief.

One of them couldn't help but ask, "General, what on earth is this place? Why is it so beautiful?"

Another person echoed, "Yeah, this place is like heaven!"

Some even said: "I really want to stay here forever and never go out again!"

Shangguan Xi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a wicked smile. He said smugly, "Haha, are you satisfied with this? You really haven't seen the world! However, we still have to find the army quickly!"

After saying that, he continued to lead the team forward.

Everyone in the space was also shocked at this time. Shangguan Qing looked at the three.

"Big Three, what's going on? How did such a beautiful place suddenly appear? It feels completely different from the terrifying primeval forest. It feels like a world from a fairy tale."

The three were also shocked, "Master, send a drone up to take a look!"

There was no danger outside at this time, so Shangguan Qing simply let everyone out. Feeling the beauty here, everyone felt as if they were in another world.

Someone asked, "Princess, are we going to catch up with Guan Xi?"

Shangguan Qing shook his head and decided to figure out the situation here first.

The drone slowly rose, and after reaching an altitude of 10,000 meters, it finally saw the outline of the entire forest.

This place is like the center of the entire terrifying primeval forest, like a bright pearl that illuminates the entire dark and gray primeval forest!

At this time, dusk arrived, the whole center was golden, and wisps of smoke rose from one place.

Shangguan Qing smiled faintly and said firmly, "I found it. We can find the army before Shangguan Xi."

She glanced at Yan Nan's team, and Yan Nan immediately understood.

He bowed respectfully to Murong Bai and Shangguan Qing and suggested, "Your Majesty, Princess, please go ahead. We will continue to keep an eye on Shangguan Xi and the others and observe their actions."

Murong Bai nodded and instructed, "Just follow them closely and make sure their every move is under control. Don't cause any conflict, and be sure to pay attention to your own safety."

Yan Nan nodded to show that he understood, then led the team to quietly follow Shangguan Xi and his group.

Not long after, Shangguan Xi seemed to notice something was wrong. He frowned and asked his subordinates around him in a low voice.

"What's going on? Didn't they say that Team Yannan was trapped in the forest?"

The subordinate was confused and replied helplessly, "General Shangguan, we don't know what happened. How about sending some people to deal with them?"

Shangguan Xi frowned and angrily scolded, "How foolish! They are so numerous, and we only have a few of us. How can we possibly fight them?"

The man was so frightened that he dared not say a word. Shangguan Xi pondered for a moment and said, "Hurry up and hurry. We must find the main force before dark. Once we meet up with the main force, we won't have to fear anyone anymore."

The subordinate was very worried and couldn't help but ask, "Young General, if this happens, won't our treason be exposed?"

Shangguan Xi sneered: "Then we'll see whether the main force will obey my orders or Yan Nan's!"

"But General, the current General Qin was the former deputy general of the Regent!"

The subordinate still had a frown on his face, looking worried.

Shangguan Xi sneered again, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"So what? This general holds the imperial edict personally bestowed by the Emperor! Failure to follow the edict is disobedience, and the only way out is death! I don't care if I kill one more of him!"

When the subordinates heard Shangguan Xi's decisive words, they were still very worried, but seeing Shangguan Xi's confident look, they dared not say anything more. They could only follow Shangguan Xi closely and continue on their journey quietly.

At this time, Shangguan Qing and others had already arrived around the large army and were observing the situation of the large army through the space screen.

The large army in the picture looks quite spectacular, but if you look closely, you can find that some of the soldiers are injured, some are wrapped in bandages, and some are pale, obviously seriously injured.

What's worse is that most of the people seemed to be infected with some disease, coughing constantly, and some even coughed up blood.

Looking at the tragic scene in front of him, Qin Ming's heart was filled with despair and anger.

"What kind of mission is this? Why did the emperor give such an order? Isn't this just sending the soldiers to their deaths?"

He asked through gritted teeth.

Deputy General Jiang beside him also had a worried look on his face and sighed helplessly: "Alas, we were temporarily transferred from Yanmen Pass. Now there are only 50,000 soldiers left in Yanmen Pass. If the Western Xinjiang troops were to attack at this time, we don't know if Yanmen Pass can be defended."
