Many children, many blessings; the twelve ancestral witches forced marriages throughout the primordi

The hotpot feast lasted until midnight. The ancestral witches, their bellies full, went back to sleep, burping contentedly. The female immortals also returned to their rooms to rest.

Lin Xuan didn't rest immediately; instead, he went to his study alone. He sat in a large armchair, poured himself a cup of enlightenment tea, and planned to review the day's battle.

Having suffered such a great loss today, that old codger Jieyin probably won't dare to act so openly again anytime soon. However, on the main battlefield in Xiqi, that good-for-nothing Nangong Shi is suffering defeat after defeat, and those guys from the Chan Sect are definitely getting restless. Lin Xuan pondered this in his heart while drinking tea.

Just then, the system's familiar mechanical notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.

Ding! The system has detected an unexpected event on the Xiqi battlefield.

Warning: Ju Liusun, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, secretly sent his disciple Tu Xingsun to infiltrate the front lines of the Shang Dynasty after the defeat of the Western Zhou general Nangong Shi.

Target locked: Deng Chanyu, the foremost female general of the Shang Dynasty. Tu Xingsun, carrying the acquired spiritual treasure, the Immortal Binding Rope, intends to use his earth-traveling technique to ambush Deng Chanyu, forcibly abduct her, and force her into marriage.

A new side quest is triggered: Intercept Tu Xingsun and rescue Deng Chanyu.

Task Rewards: Earth Element Law Enlightenment Fragment x1, Top-Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure Immortal Binding Rope (Divine Thought Erasing Version).

Upon hearing this suggestion, Lin Xuan slammed his teacup heavily onto the table.

"You bastard Juliusun! You can't win a war, so you resort to these underhanded tactics!" Lin Xuan sneered, his eyes turning icy cold.

He knew what kind of person Tu Xingsun was. That shorty looked like a potato, yet he was incredibly lecherous. In the original story, this shorty used the Immortal Binding Rope and Earth-Walking Technique to forcibly take Deng Chanyu as his own. Deng Chanyu was a famous beauty in the Shang Dynasty, and she was also a rare military talent, capable of hitting her target with five-colored stones with perfect accuracy.

Now that Lin Xuan had transmigrated here, how could he possibly stand by and watch such a disgusting thing happen?

Deng Chanyu is a general of my Great Shang Dynasty. Who do you think you are, Tu Xingsun, to dare to touch my people? Lin Xuan stood up and stretched his limbs. He felt that he had been watching his children fight at home for the past few days, and his bones were practically rusting. This trip to the front lines would be a good opportunity to loosen up his muscles.

Lin Xuan didn't disturb the rest of the family. He walked out of the study, went to the courtyard, and snapped his fingers into the air.

Soon, a dark figure darted out from the shadows and knelt on one knee before Lin Xuan. This was a scout from the Witch Clan whom Lin Xuan had secretly trained.

"My lord, what are your orders?" the scout asked respectfully.

"Go and fetch Lin Wu. Tell him to bring his God-Slaying Spear and come with me to work," Lin Xuan ordered.

The scout acknowledged the order and withdrew. A short while later, Lin Wu excitedly ran over, carrying the black, aura-shrouded, god-slaying spear. He was feeling quite frustrated, having not gotten a chance to fight outside Chaoge City that day.

"Father! Is there another battle? Who are they going to kill?" Lin Wu shouted.

Lin Xuan slapped the back of his head: "Keep your voice down, don't wake your mother and the others. This time we're going to the front lines in Xiqi to capture a short guy. That fellow knows earth-walking magic; he's incredibly slippery, burrowing around in the ground."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wu grinned: "Can burrow into the ground? That's great. My slaying spear just needs a target. Don't worry, Dad, as long as he dares to show his face, I'll pin him to the ground with one shot."

Lin Xuan nodded: Okay, come with me. Remember, we're going to rescue someone this time, don't kill them right away. That short guy has a rope, it's a good thing, we need to get it first.

Under the cover of night, the father and son transformed into two streaks of light and flew directly towards the front lines of Xiqi.
