Confined to one's home at the start, studied for ten years, and became a saint and ancestor.

Not only was Jialing Pass defended, but it was also directly pushed back.

An unprecedented victory.

The Northern Barbarians were pursued for over a thousand miles, leaving a trail of blood that stained the rivers and even the land red.

Corpses littered the earth and blocked the rivers.

The Northern Barbarians were even driven out of the Northern Liang.

Even more surprisingly, some of the soldiers from the Great Xia who were used to killing went directly into the grasslands.

For the soldiers on the front lines of the Great Xia Dynasty, this was utterly unbelievable, like a dream.

Their original thought was simply to hold the pass; many even believed that Jialing Pass was bound to fall and were already considering escape routes.

But unexpectedly, the situation took such a dramatic turn.

A powerful figure suddenly appeared and, with just one palm strike, caused the Northern Mang army to collapse.

In reality, they didn't know it wasn't just one palm strike.

Furthermore, the extraordinary divine power of the Chaos Meditation Dao, which landed there, played a major role.

That one glance caused them to completely break down, which is why this effect occurred.

Especially the strongmen from the Northern Wilderness, they were all at the very front.

They were most deeply influenced by the Dao of Chaos and Oblivion.

Otherwise, if they had reacted quickly enough and directed the cleanup efforts, even if things had collapsed, it wouldn't have ended up this badly.

But Lu Feifan's gaze shattered their composure, and all they wanted to do was escape, escape as far away as possible.

In their minds, they even forgot about the army.

By the time I remembered it, things had completely collapsed and were beyond repair.

This led to an unprecedented victory for the Great Xia Dynasty.

The news spread at an extremely fast pace.

The world was shaken.

The surrounding countries felt a chill run down their spines.

Everyone witnessed what it truly meant for one person to command an army.

What does it mean to single-handedly influence the course of a nation's war?

Divine Might.

They weren't unaware of the danger.

However, they never knew that Shenwu could be this powerful.

Even if we consider the most brilliant and ambitious founding emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, who was already very strong according to records, he was far from being this monstrous.

This is even more outrageous than the biographical novels they read.

Many people even thought it was a rumor.

This is a rumor used to appease the people, claiming that the Great Xia Dynasty is about to lose the Jialing Pass.

In reality, the Northern Mang army may have already advanced deep into enemy territory.

However, this is just speculation from some insignificant people who have no source of information.

For the larger powers, they all received specific details.

I know this is absolutely true.

In an instant, the alien race that had been causing trouble was terrified.

The suspended door was thus put in a difficult position.

If this is a powerful figure who made the move, it must be related to the Great Xia royal family.

Are they going to rebel or not?

"What should we do? Continue?"

"Should we talk to the royal family and clear up the misunderstanding?"

"This can't go on. A million-strong army of Northern Mang was suppressed by one person. What does that mean? It's rumored that the person is not Shenwu, but an Emperor!"

An emergency meeting was held inside the suspended gate to discuss the news that had been leaked.

After the news was confirmed, many of them panicked.

It was a bolt from the blue.

"Don't panic!"

Just when most people were pessimistic.

The middle-aged man sitting to the left of the sect leader, waving a feather fan, sporting a mustache, wearing a scholar's robe, and with a wise gleam in his eyes, spoke first.

"Strategist, it seems you have a different opinion!"

The Suspended Sect Master's eyes lit up as he looked at the middle-aged man who seemed to have everything under control.

"Sect Leader, everyone, the one who made this move definitely has nothing to do with the Great Xia royal family."

"I can guarantee it!"

The middle-aged scholar spoke with great conviction.

"Why?!"

Below, a man with a full beard frowned in confusion.

"Sect Leader, everyone, think about this carefully. Such a powerful expert cannot be cultivated in a day or two."

“Cultivation is a long process, especially after reaching the Divine Martial Realm. It is simply impossible to reach this level in less than one or two hundred years.”

"In other words, such a powerful expert couldn't have appeared out of thin air. He couldn't have reached this level after only a few years of cultivation!"

"Isn't this a joke?"

"Therefore, if such a powerful person were to appear, there would be clues from the very beginning, and the royal family would not be able to hide it even if they wanted to."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this.

Makes sense.

Instantly, they felt less panicked.

"What if this is a hidden powerhouse within the royal family?"

The bearded man stroked his chin and expressed his doubts.

"That's even more impossible!"

"With such a powerful figure, why would the royal family hide him? Have they lost their minds?"

"Everyone knows how dangerous their situation was before!"

"If there were such a powerful figure, the royal family would have invited him to sweep through the country long ago."

"As for asking us to step forward, and their claim of having a legitimate reason, that's even more ridiculous. The royal family isn't any good either."

"They have the power to seize power. Do they need a reason to do so? Having the power is enough!"

"If they lack strength, they'll ignore any excuses they have. But if they do have strength, they can claim any treasures our disciples acquire from the mountains belong to their royal family. That excuse alone is enough to start a war with us!"

"That's someone who can single-handedly overwhelm the entire Northern Barbarian army."

"If there really were such a powerful figure, the royal family would have already swept across the land, instead of letting their kingdom fall into such chaos?"

As he explained, the eyes of those present grew brighter and brighter.

That makes sense.

"Besides, even if he is royalty."

"We've already done what we've done; there's no turning back now. Trying to explain to the royal family at this point is just a joke."

"In short, if that powerful figure has no connection with the royal family and his attack on Northern Mang was just a spur-of-the-moment decision while passing by, then it has nothing to do with us."

"If he is related to the royal family, whether we continue to rebel or not, we are doomed to die anyway, so we might as well continue, since the outcome is the same anyway."

According to his explanation.

Those standing by the suspended door nodded repeatedly.

Very reasonable.

A sharp glint flashed in the bearded man's eyes, but under these circumstances, it was not appropriate for him to continue questioning him.

After the middle-aged scholar's explanation...

The tense atmosphere surrounding the suspended gate vanished instantly.

No longer feeling heavy-hearted and worried.

The sect leader nodded at the middle-aged scholar.

Indeed, he was right to give the other party a high position.

Although it didn't have a significant impact on the overall battle, it still played a crucial role at a critical moment!

At least, the previously restless public sentiment has been calmed down.

"Sect Leader, we should spread this news as soon as possible and make it widely known."

"And it has to be fast. If possible, we need to launch a major campaign and win it outright. We can't afford to lose!"

Seeing that everyone had regained their composure under his eloquent words, the middle-aged scholar felt somewhat pleased and offered another suggestion.

"Why?"

"Why don't we just spread the word? It's probably not a good idea to start a war at this critical juncture!"

Some people seemed hesitant.

Although they had calmed down a bit, they were still uneasy about causing trouble right now.
