Si Hong stood atop the devastated cliff, his golden-purple robe stained with blood and riddled with cracks. His eyes, once serene and dignified, were now filled only with endless exhaustion and bone-chilling coldness.
Gazing at the ruined mine, littered with corpses, and his remaining elite troops, their pained cries filling the air, helpless to defend themselves, he heavily raised his hand and wearily issued a military order.
“All troops cease fire, retreat to the border, and rest in place.”
On the other side, Xuan Zhe, leaning against his broken war spear, knelt amidst the ruins of his shattered formation, his blood and qi in disarray and his spiritual power dwindling.
Witnessing his countless kin fall in pools of blood on their homeland, his eyes were red and his heart broken, yet he could only grit his teeth and swallow all his grief, then solemnly ordered the troops to retreat.
The bloody battle, instigated by false betrayal and deliberate provocation, ended abruptly with both sides suffering immense losses and severe damage.
Both armies retreated to their respective borders, maintaining defensive positions, but neither had the strength or the confidence to initiate war again.
The entire Wanyan mine had been reduced to a silent and tragic blood-red ruin.
After the war, to investigate the whole story, tally the casualties and losses, and uncover the truth of the war’s beginning, Si Hong and Xuan Shen, their injuries having subsided, agreed to meet in neutral airspace, each leading a team to jointly investigate the entire battlefield.
However, as the investigation deepened, bizarre phenomena that sent chills down everyone on both sides began to slowly emerge.
On the battlefield, there were countless corpses and a massive death toll, yet the bodies of most high-level cultivators were completely empty.
The fallen Grand Luo cultivators, the mid-level commanders, and the elite soldiers had intact bodies but scattered souls. Their personal storage rings, divine birth weapons, merit crystals, and cultivation resources had all vanished without a trace.
Even the cultivators who were on the verge of death, severely injured, and ultimately exhausted and perished, all their accumulated precious resources and cultivation treasures were meticulously sifted through and swept clean.
Conversely, the corpses of the low-level cultivators showed no signs of having been tampered with or plundered; they remained intact.
Such a precise and professional method of scavenging, targeting only high-level resources and avoiding low-level scraps, was clearly not the work of chaotic soldiers on the battlefield.
This was no random looting; it was obvious someone had deliberately scoured the battlefield, taking advantage of the chaos to reap the benefits!
Xuan Shen walked among the blood-red ruins, his fingertips brushing against the neatly plundered corpse of a Xuanqiu Daluo cultivator. The old body suddenly stiffened.
A surge of understanding suddenly struck his mind, instantly dispelling all remaining hope and doubt.
