"Letting a tiger return to the mountain this time will definitely bring endless trouble."
Seeing this, Fang Qingxiao smiled in comfort. "Although Long got away, you still beat him to the brink of death. In the short term, it’ll be hard for him to fully recover.
And now that we’ve established contact through Heavenly Clothes Master Zhan Tianyi, we’ll likely be able to gather our forces soon and launch a counterattack!"
Ling Xiao’s eyes lit up. "You mean, communications are restored?"
Fang Qingxiao said, "Yes. I was able to rush here in time because Yixian Dao used the Star Power Mark to Derive your location, Imperial Envoy Ling, and calculated that you’d encountered a powerful enemy, so they notified me to come over from nearby."
At these words, starlight flickered in Ling Xiao’s eyes. As he tried to connect to the Yixing Plate, he asked Fang Qingxiao, "What’s the situation now?"
"Not great..." Fang Qingxiao said in a low voice. "Right after entering the Inner Realm, the casualties were too heavy. Among them was even the Royal Envoy of Azure Dragon Imperial, Liu Yucheng."
"Hm?!" Ling Xiao suddenly raised his eyes and stared hard at Fang Qingxiao, even forgetting to connect to the Yixing Plate. "Old Liu... has fallen?"
Fang Qingxiao seemed to have anticipated this reaction from Ling Xiao. He sighed inwardly and nodded slightly. "That’s right."
Ling Xiao’s pupils shrank, a hint of daze flashing through his gaze.
All these years, Old Liu had been his right-hand man; most of the miscellaneous affairs in the division were thrown to him to handle...
You could say he was one of the people Ling Xiao was closest to in the division.
And now, he had actually fallen here in the Chaotic Star Inner Realm?...
In this war between the two realms, everyone had mentally prepared themselves. After a short while, Ling Xiao exhaled deeply and forced his emotions back down.
"But there is some good news." Fang Qingxiao spoke slowly. "Su Yuan has already slain one of the Eight Divine Generals—Shijian!"
At first hearing this, a surge of delight rose in Ling Xiao’s eyes. "Truly?!"
Fang Qingxiao laughed. "Truly!"
"Good, good! As expected of Royal Envoy Su!"
The gloom in Ling Xiao’s heart was swept clean, and even his previously pale face flushed with excitement.
Only those who have truly fought a Divine General can understand how terrifying a Divine General’s Strength is!
A Divine Beast Body, a perfectly compatible Soul Card Divine Technique, and rich combat Experience...
Ling Xiao didn’t know how the battle between Su Yuan and Shijian had played out, but it definitely couldn’t have been easy!
Fang Qingxiao was full of admiration as well, with quite a bit of relief and pride mixed in.
Back in the South Sea, Fang Qingxiao had already met Su Yuan and had always thought highly of him, offering no small amount of guidance and help during Su Yuan’s growth. It was no exaggeration to call him a guide.
Now that Su Yuan had claimed the first Divine General kill and achieved a heaven-shaking feat, Fang Qingxiao felt honored and deeply gratified as well!
You have to know, since entering the Inner Realm, the Blue Sea Alliance had taken heavy losses; almost half of its experts had fallen to the Eight Divine Generals.
Su Yuan’s slaying of Shijian was like driving a giant stabilizing nail into the sea for the Blue Sea Alliance.
It let everyone in Blue Sea know that these mysterious and powerful Eight Gray Realm Divine Generals were not invincible!
