Sure enough, on the third day after Jun Lin's abandonment and the old city, the Imperial Court issued a notice asking for and criticizing Jun Lin Yue's abandonment, demanding that he be seized back at the border fortress city as soon as possible.

Jun Lin Yue gritted his teeth as he stared at the imperial edict. The abandonment of the city was only a strategy for the use of troops, and only those with limited experience would find it inappropriate. Of course, in the absence of the Human Emperor, it was best to not know how to handle the situation. It only concerned the prestige and interests of the country.

Moreover, perhaps half a month later, Jun Linyue would have ambushed the main forces of the Unholy Cult and successfully exterminated them. At that time, not only would he be able to take back the border city, he would also be able to take back the jurisdiction of the entire three peaks. Needless to say, the informer was none other than Jun Lengshao.

The moment he thought of Jun Lincer, he realized that he had been gone for a long time. Moreover, after she came back from the demon race, Yun Dai'er had also unknowingly disappeared. This made him somewhat puzzled. However, the moment he thought of it, he focused on studying the terrain and defense methods of the Qingzhou River.

After two days, Frontier City was in a mess. Everywhere the gunfire went, the houses were reduced to ashes, the grass on the ground was covered in thick dust, and even the streets and alleys could no longer be seen.

But there was no way back. All of the buildings were razed to the ground. No one had left the border city during the war. No matter whether they were adults or children, men or women, all died in the flames of war.

People didn't know where the Nether Sect's artillery came from. Although there was a tradition of refining gunpowder in the way of cultivation, but throughout the decades that the Nether Sect had been established in the martial world, they had always won through mystical arts. However, this time, they seemed to be somewhat anxious.

On the other side of the Qingzhou River, Jun Lanyue saw the devastation caused by the gunfire. Smoke rose up, as if it was striking his face.

He clenched his fists. Why does the Nether Sect always target me, Jun Lanyue?

At this moment, a thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately called for his two subordinates. Zhao Lin and Sun Qi accompanied Jun Lanyue in the military market, but they had never used them before. The two of them knelt on the ground, awaiting orders.

”Zhao Lin, Sun Qi, the two of you have followed me for many days. Since my uncle sent you to protect me, then I won't say anything else.” ”Now that the war is at a loss, we should retreat and abandon the city. Right now, we need you to bring the three elites to sneak into the Nether Sect and assassinate the leader of the Nether Sect. After this is done, I will reward you handsomely.”

”Reporting to the marquis …” The two of them glanced at each other, then Zhao Lin said, ”Marquis, leave the assassination to us.” Since we were young, the two of us have always shared good fortune and bad luck, and we have a tacit understanding of each other. If there's someone else, it might affect us. ”

Jun Lanyue nodded and said, ”Mm, I am very happy to hear that. However, the terrain of the Nether Sect is very complex. With so many people, I'm afraid you two won't be able to come over. If only you go, will you be able to complete the mission? ”

”Master Hou, please be at ease. I promise that I will bring the head of the Nether Sect to meet you!”

The two of them said in unison.

”Very good!” He poured two bowls of wine and said, ”But there is one thing. If you are caught... Who's the cause of this? ”

”Master Hou, assassinating the leader of the Nether Sect is the wish of us two brothers for so many years. He killed many innocent and harmed many civilians, so he died an early death. This matter has nothing to do with anyone or any organization! that makes us willing to do it on our own. I will die with no regrets! ”

”Yes.” Jun Lanyue nodded. You are all very smart! ”

After they finished talking, the two of them seemed to be burning with anger as they finished the two bowls of strong wine.
