Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

However, the Thunder Legion did not use brute force to cut off the retreating main force.

The millions of soldiers, eager to retreat, surged like a vast ocean. While the Thunder Legion could hold them off for a while, the effect was minimal. Therefore, the much more cautious Deputy Legion Commander Shan Gong ordered the Thunder Legion not to directly cut off the torrent, but to attack from the side to disrupt their formation and scavenge some flesh from them!
Meanwhile, the deputy legion commander, Shan Gong, was a divine general who directly opened his divine domain, targeting key nodes in the retreating torrent to attack and kill, slowing down its flow and causing massive damage.

As if they knew they would be ambushed, the retreating force suddenly split up at a certain point. In addition to the main road, retreating troops also began to appear on the streets on both sides, quickly heading towards the west gate.

Because they had no will to fight, the defending troops retreated very quickly.

"Kill!!!" At this moment, Le Jin's battle cry resounded throughout the night sky. Even Lin Mu and the others, who were far away, heard it.

Afterwards, Lin Mu received a report from Le Jin and his team.

One name in particular made Lin Mu incredibly excited: Xu Rong!!

It's like searching high and low without finding it, only to discover it right there where the lights are dim.

"My lord, Wenqian has already held Xu Rong back... Let's hurry over there!" Dian Wei said excitedly.

“It will take us quite a while to get there directly, so let’s wait for Le Jin,” Lin Mu said solemnly.

Sure enough, after a while, a strange call came out.

A system notification then appeared.
"--Ding!"

"--System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, your general Yue Jin has used skill 3 [Soul Chapter] from the [Heaven and Earth Dragon Minister Ranking - Heavenly Cloud Ranking - Shadow of Souls]! You can teleport to his side through the Soul Chapter. Please note that this state requires one natural year to recover before you can establish a Soul Chapter with Yue Jin again."

The Chapter of the Soul!

As soon as Lin Mu had a thought, his figure was enveloped in white light and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ten breaths later, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, and Taishi Ci were also enveloped by a white light.

For Xu Rong's sake, the three strongest generals of the Great Wilderness Territory have all been summoned!
As the feeling of weightlessness disappeared, Dian Wei opened his eyes and sensed two powerful forces battling it out not far away.

As Lin Mu and Dian Wei appeared, one of their auras suddenly became disordered.

Another aura seized the opportunity and struck the former with a single slash, slamming it heavily into a courtyard.

Amidst the swirling dust, a figure, disregarding their disheveled state, scurried away like a cat fleeing for its mouse…

Just as he sped out of the courtyard gate, a burly figure blocked his way, saying calmly, "This road is blocked!"

Just as he was about to turn to another direction, another figure appeared on his left...

"Bang!" Before it was over, a third burly figure suddenly appeared on his right, blocking his escape route!
At this moment, Lin Mu suddenly appeared in mid-air, holding a huge, ancient bronze cauldron in his hand.

"The Liangzhou Cauldron!!!" Xu Rong felt his soul fly away after just one glance.

In order to kill him, Lin Mu actually revealed all his trump cards!
Is it just bad luck, or does Lin Mu hate him to death?!
At that moment, Xu Rong felt as if the air around him had frozen...

"The teleportation items are probably all unusable now... so let's not waste our energy." Xu Rong stretched his right hand out of his pocket, but didn't take anything out.

At that moment, Jia Xu's words flashed through Xu Rong's mind... Hulao Pass is truly a dangerous place...

"Whoosh!!!" Behind him, Le Jin's figure also rushed over, officially blocking Xu Rong's five directions!

There was truly no way out, no way to escape.

Xu Rong knew he was finished; he couldn't struggle at all!

"General Lin Mu, you led an army of 400,000 to charge in. Is your target me? Or Zhang Ji? Or Jia Xu?" Xu Rong asked with a sigh as he watched Lin Mu slowly land beside Dian Wei, the cauldron in his hand radiating a terrifying aura.

He wanted to die with a clear understanding of what was happening...

“That’s right! I look down on people like Fan Chou, Guo Si, and Li Jue!” Lin Mu said frankly.

“But you are different. I’ve had my eye on you for a long time! You are a great general. Turn your back on the darkness and come to the light.” Lin Mu’s tone changed, and his expression became solemn.

The current target is only Xu Rong. As for Jia Xu, he's too cunning; we can't possibly outmaneuver him.

As for Zhang Ji, he seems to be in cahoots with Jia Xu; he's impossible to outmaneuver. Xu Rong, on the other hand, makes more public appearances and has been involved in numerous battles, making him easier to strategize against.

Xu Rong glanced around and gave a bitter laugh. He noticed a crimson stain covering his feet, the source of which was Dian Wei. Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci were both drawing their bows and aiming at him. He might not even have the chance to commit suicide now!

"I surrender!!" Xu Rong wasn't the kind of person who was extremely stubborn or headstrong.

Moreover, even if he drew his sword and committed suicide, there was no chance left...

"Whoosh!!" Dian Wei flashed to Xu Rong's side and seized his spear and sword. Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci moved at the same time, pinning Xu Rong's arms down and rendering him unable to move.

As for Lin Mu, he was quick-witted and nimble, arriving in front of Xu Rong after the three of them and reaching directly into Xu Rong's pocket.

Good heavens, they actually pulled out five things from inside.

One of them was a teleportation scroll, the second was a token, and the third, or rather the remaining three, were brocade pouches of the same style.

"General Lin Mu, is there really no need for this?" Xu Rong gave another wry smile.

"No...it has to be this way. We've been planning for so long, and we're just one step away from success. If something goes wrong at this crucial moment, it will be a disaster." Lin Mu shook his head, his tone grave.

Xu Rongzhen never expected that Lin Mu would value him so much.

It should be noted that Lin Mu only ordered Dian Wei to kill Hua Xiong, a famous and fierce general in Xiliang, and did not capture him.

Given the strength of Lin Mu's generals, they definitely had a chance to capture Hua Xiong. But he didn't do so…

"Phew!! It's done!!" Lin Mu exclaimed excitedly.

Following Gao Shun, another historical general has entered the Great Wilderness territory!
"My lord, the garrison inside Hulao Pass is retreating on a large scale, while also moving supplies and provisions..." Le Jin reported at this moment.

“We should use Xu Rong to…” Le Jin suggested, but Lin Mu interrupted him.

"No need. Our actions already violate the agreement we made with Li Ru for further details, so we can't go too far. Let's leave first and let Shan Gong and the others do their thing. You can just watch from the sidelines," Lin Mu waved his hand and said.

At this moment, his thoughts had already flown back to the Divine Dragon Valley in the Great Wilderness Territory. Only by transporting Xu Rong back and placing him under house arrest could his plan truly be considered complete!
And so, Lin Mu, along with Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, and Taishi Ci, escorted Xu Rong directly towards the direction in which the garrison of Hulao Pass had retreated.

Even though they saw the panicked soldiers struggling to carry supplies along the way, the four of them just glanced at them casually and ignored them.

It took quite a while for the five of them to leave Hulao Pass and run wildly in one direction.

On the second day at noon, the group escorted Xu Rong to a valley shrouded in mist.

Without hesitation, the group plunged into the clouds.

The next moment, a quiet and peaceful village appeared before everyone.

"This...you actually built a subordinate territory near Hulao Pass?" Xu Rong asked in astonishment.

Lin Mu smiled without saying a word.

However, what shocked Xu Rong even more was...

Without lingering, the group greeted the guards stationed in the village and then arrived at a magic array emitting a soft white glow.

A flash of white light, and the group vanished completely from the Sili region!
“A teleportation array? How could a village-level subordinate territory possibly have a teleportation array?” Xu Rong noticed the clue when he was enveloped by that feeling of weightlessness.

Once the teleportation was complete, they started to exclaim in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Dian Wei and the other two smiled slightly, enjoying seeing Xu Rong and the others' astonished expressions, as if they had never seen a giant snake defecate before.

After traveling through the bustling and noisy territory, we finally arrived at a quiet yet heavily guarded cluster of courtyards.

"General Hu Zhen!!!!" Just then, Xu Rong saw a familiar face and exclaimed.

At this moment, Hu Zhen was lying in a rocking chair with someone, drinking wine and looking extremely relaxed.

"Xu Rong!!! You've been captured too?!" Hu Zhen suddenly stood up, his face filled with astonishment.

Although Xu Rong was inferior to him in martial arts and combat prowess, he was a rather refined and scholarly general. Although everyone considered him a pedantic and pedantic general, no one mocked or looked down on him. On the contrary, in some interactions, people thought that Xu Rong was quite steady and had his own ideas.

Now, even the composed Xu Rong has been captured!
Xu Rong glanced at Hu Zhen, gave a bitter smile, and remained silent. Three peak-level Nine-Yuan Divine Generals, and a Dragon Lord wielding the Liangzhou Cauldron, the supreme artifact of China, were all crouching before him, and they'd even used some special, high-end teleportation technique. There was no way he could escape; there was absolutely no way he could escape!
Even Lü Bu didn't receive this kind of treatment...

Upon arriving here, Lin Mu instructed Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci to release Xu Rong. Then, Lin Mu personally led Xu Rong by the hand to a previously uninhabited courtyard, right next to Hu Zhen's residence...

The courtyard was already furnished; you can move in immediately with just your bags.

As soon as Xu Rong entered, he had a strange feeling... Some of the arrangements seemed somewhat familiar to him.

Seeing Xu Rong's expression, Lin Mu chuckled softly, "Wen Ze and the others had a very pleasant conversation with you before, and they also subtly inquired about your hobbies and visited your camp... so they prepared this courtyard early on."

"This courtyard was prepared several years ago!" Lin Mu said meaningfully. (End of Chapter)
