Lin Yi replied, "What's dangerous for others may not be dangerous for me."
"Xiao Guichen's actions have actually helped me figure out how to get in and out of the front lines. The node has already been opened, so I can follow the clues."
While he was repairing the node, he also took the opportunity to conduct a preliminary investigation of the entire Tianjun's super formation.
At this point, while I wouldn't say I have complete knowledge, I do have enough authority to access and move freely.
Zhang Baiyu wanted to persuade him further, but seeing that Lin Yi had made up his mind, he ultimately did not insist.
He took a deep breath and nodded emphatically: "I will make the arrangements immediately. Please be careful, sir."
Lin Yi nodded and turned to step into the node.
The headquarters of the Demon Extermination Army.
The endless desert and Gobi are devoid of human habitation year-round.
On the cliff, hundreds of military tents stand side by side, concealed by layers of formations, making them difficult for outsiders to detect, no matter how keen their senses are.
At this moment, the atmosphere was solemn inside a large military tent in the center.
A towering, imposing figure sat in the main seat.
This man had a resolute face and a dignified presence. He simply sat there without saying a word, yet he exuded an imposing aura that inspired awe in everyone.
This man was Shen Wudu, the Grand Commander of the Demon-Slaying Army.
Below, a group of high-ranking members of the Demon Extermination Army were engaged in a heated debate.
"What are we waiting for? Xiao Guichen is dead! With the deputy commander dead in Tianjun, where will our Demon-Slaying Army's reputation be?!"
One of the burly men, with a full beard, slammed his fist on the table and stood up, his voice booming.
"Charge back! Let that so-called Lord of Tianjun know that the Demon-Slaying Army is not to be trifled with!"
"Yes! Let's fight our way back!"
Several young executives echoed this sentiment, and the crowd was filled with excitement.
However, a veteran immediately retorted: "We haven't figured out what happened to Xiao Guichen yet, so we shouldn't act rashly."
"What haven't you figured out yet? The message clearly states that Lin Yi colluded with evil spirits, and Xiao Guichen is waiting for our rescue!"
The burly man with the thick beard slammed his fist on the table and said, "Everyone knows I don't get along with him, but one thing is one thing. No matter what, he's still one of our Demon Extermination Army members!"
The old general shook his head: "Lin Yi is the lord of Tianjun. Why would he collude with evil spirits? This is the front line. If there were any big moves, how could we not have noticed them at all?"
Someone immediately retorted, "What if he really does have that ability? Xiao Guichen wouldn't bring this up for no reason. He must have his reasons for saying it!"
The old general still shook his head: "The duty of our Demon Extermination Army is to defend Tianjun, not to counterattack Tianjun. If we really want to fight our way back, then we will become rebels."
Who will take the blame for this crime?
The entire room fell silent.
The word "rebels" carries too much weight.
Although Xiao Guichen's popularity was average, he was still the deputy commander, which concerned the reputation of the Demon Extermination Army.
Is it worth it to let everyone bear the name of rebels just for the sake of saving face?
Although the Demon Extermination Army is highly independent, it still ultimately needs to rely on the Heavenly County.
Without reinforcements of personnel and supplies from Tianjun, no matter how strong they are, they will eventually be exhausted.
For a time, the situation remained deadlocked inside the military tent.
Shen Wudu remained silent.
As the Grand Commander of the Demon Extermination Army, the undisputed pinnacle of the Demon Extermination Army's combat power, and the God of War in everyone's hearts, he has always been taciturn.
However, once he speaks, it will be the final word.
No matter how fiercely the arguments rage on, a consensus will inevitably be reached instantly. Military orders are absolute, and all that remains is to execute them.
You must execute it whether you understand it or not.
This is the prestige of Shen Wudu.
Suddenly, Shen Wudu's brows twitched slightly, and he slowly said, "No need to argue."
Everyone was taken aback and turned to look at him.
Shen Wudu raised his eyes and glanced at everyone present: "Lin Yi has arrived."
The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.
Deep in the front lines.
Lin Yi flashed out from the node, immediately enveloping himself in the world's will to conceal his aura.
Looking around, all I could see were skeletons.
There were human skeletons, but even more were the remains of demons, mixed together, layer upon layer, exuding an extremely decaying aura.
The sand beneath was soaked through with blood, turning a solidified reddish-black color.
At first glance, it has a visual resemblance to the black soil region.
However, the soil here is beyond description as fertile.
He took out the Tianjun map left by Xiao Guichen, confirmed the direction of the Demon Extermination Army headquarters, and immediately flashed away.
Fifteen minutes later, Lin Yi suddenly stopped.
There is a cave not far ahead.
The entrance was blocked by a huge rock, which was covered with layers of corpses. Without careful investigation, it would be difficult to detect even with divine sense.
"Ok?"
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow slightly. As the world's will swept across the area, he discovered that there were actually dozens of human auras in the cave.
This place is isolated from the Tianjun mainland, and theoretically, no commoners should be able to sneak in.
Unless, these people are the Demon Extermination Army.
However, after seeing what these people looked like, Lin Yi couldn't help but look strange.
They were dressed in rags, their faces were sallow and thin, and they were wrapped in rags and animal skins, huddled together and shivering.
Is this the Demon Extermination Army?
Based on his understanding of the Demon Extermination Army, although he dared not say that every single one of them was a master, the Demon Extermination Army's standard for selecting new recruits was outstanding scions of noble families.
With their abilities, these people would be anything but weak if they survived on the front lines.
It's even less likely that he would act like that.
Lin Yi slipped into the underground cave.
Hearing the commotion, everyone looked up in alarm. Upon seeing Lin Yi, they instinctively huddled together, letting out low sobs.
There was no hope in their eyes, only fear.
It was fear of evil spirits, and fear of the unknown.
Lin Yi didn't speak, but raised his hand and released a soft beam of light.
Only then did everyone get a clear look at him.
One of the veterans, with his tangled hair and beard, trembled as he raised his head, a look of disbelief flashing in his cloudy eyes.
"You...you are human?"
He stared intently at Lin Yi, his voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible.
Lin Yi nodded slightly and looked around the cave. It was less than 20 square meters, but there were 36 people crammed in.
The worst part was that everyone was injured, and several of them even had maggots on their bodies. The entire space reeked of decay and mold, and even with Lin Yi's mental fortitude, he couldn't help but frown.
It's a miracle that these people were able to survive.
It must be said that humans are indeed a tenacious species.
The veteran's eyes reddened, and he struggled to his feet before kneeling on the ground.
The others behind him seemed to wake from a dream, and they all knelt down, sobbing uncontrollably.
"They've come to save us...someone's come to save us..."
The cries were suppressed and miserable, as if they had been accumulating for far too long and had finally found an outlet.
Lin Yi asked, "Who are you? The Demon Extermination Army?"
The sobbing stopped abruptly.
The veteran said tremblingly, "I haven't heard those three words in a long time. We are no longer the Demon Extermination Army; we are just abandoned pawns."
