C3 Regression

Chapter III: Return

"Li Daniu, your captain is still not back?" In the barracks, a strong man showed his might without getting angry.

As soon as they entered the tent, the loud voice was like thunder, causing all of the people in the tent to turn their heads.

The base was located less than thirty kilometers away from the Barbarian Clan Domain. The entire camp had around ten thousand people, one general, three deputy generals, nine commanders, and more than a hundred Centurion Hai, a total of ten captains.

Each tent could accommodate about five squads of fifty men, with the captain on one side and the soldiers on the other.

This person was Centurion, Lin Yun, Xu Yan. His name was rather elegant, but in reality, he was a fearsome burly man.

His cultivation base was only at the Third Cycle of the Foundation Establishment stage, but to the hundreds of soldiers under his command, he was thoroughly convinced.

Not only was he extremely hot-tempered, he was also extremely protective of his subordinates. However, for the sake of his own soldiers, he was also very proud.

He didn't know why, but the Vice Commander had called him over quite a few times and asked him if his subordinate, Xu Yan, had come back. When he didn't find any traces of Xu Yan, he finally felt that something wasn't right.

Xu Yan was only sixteen years old and he had just been released last year. Although he was young, he still had outstanding talent and was usually a bit muddle-headed, but according to his knowledge, he could not possibly have become a deserter.

If it wasn't so, combined with the Vice Commander's abnormal actions today, he wouldn't have been targeted and killed by someone, right? That was his own people. Although it gave him a slight headache, he could not allow anyone to plot against him.

Liu Yun was a big and tall man, but he was no fool. To be able to reach the peak of Qi Condensation at the age of sixteen, this kind of talent was bound to arouse jealousy.

"Centurion!" Our husband has not returned since he received the order to deliver the letter in the morning. Based on his personality, he must have been lost in the Peace City, right? "Don't worry, you'll definitely be back before dusk." Li Daniu laughed foolishly.

This kind of thing was nothing in his eyes. How could he not know the morals of his husband? He was more like a popinjay who came to experience life, rather than a soldier.

"Come on! If he comes back, tell him to pay me back. " Lin Yun thought for a while with a dark face, then sighed.

Indeed, if that was the case, then Xu Yan might really lose his mind after entering the city. As long as he could return on time before dusk, that would be fine.

But why did he feel that something was wrong? Especially an officer at the level of a vice commander, why would he ask so many questions about the whereabouts of a captain?

"No need, I'm back." Xu Yan dragged his somewhat tired body into the tent with a pale face. Although his injuries had recovered quite a bit, he was still exhausted after some injuries along the way.

"Hmm? "What's wrong with you?" Lin Yun immediately felt that something was wrong, so he quickly replied.

"There were a few robbers on the way, so I was a little too careless. I almost fell into a trap, but luckily, it was settled by me in the end." Xu Yan said casually.

Since he wanted to hide Seventh Prince's identity, then he must not reveal it. He was not afraid of others knowing his identity, and even wished for others to know. That would make it easier to recruit strength, but he could not say those words himself.

Other people would have guessed that it was someone else's ability and would be fine as long as he did not point it out. But if you did not hide it, then it would be a violation of the royal rules and you would lose the right to ascend the throne in an instant.

In the past, Xu Yan wouldn't have cared if he took the throne. In his previous life, he took the initiative to reveal his identity after his Spirit Sea was shattered. The following two years of experiential learning were like a game, depressing to the point of madness.

However, when it came to the third life, he wanted to ascend to the throne and compete with the fourth elder. That way, he wouldn't be able to reveal his identity and would have to follow the rules before he could change the rules.

"Is it serious?" Lin Yun's eyes showed some concern, but his words were still cold.

"Come to my tent tonight! I'll move in with you! We'll talk about it after you've recovered from your injuries. " Looking at Xu Yan's pale face, and even the sight of him crumbling, Lin Yun left behind a sentence and then left the tent.

This person's face was cold, but his heart was warm. It was difficult to get him to give him a good face, but he was well-known for being a good subordinate.

Xu Yan didn't say anything. There was still a large amount of information waiting for him to digest in his head. Obviously, this noisy tent wasn't suitable for cultivation or organizing. Since Lin Yun took the initiative to ask, he naturally couldn't reject his good intentions.

"Captain, what happened to you?" The group of soldiers under Xu Yan started to surround him, showing their concern.

In the eyes of these soldiers, this captain-in-chief was not a dutiful man, but he was equally loyal. His injuries were severe this time, so it was natural that they cared more about him.

Xu Yan explained a few sentences absent-mindedly, told Li Daniu to pick up his blanket and went to Centurion's tent.

As for Centurion and Lin Yun, they would report the situation in the central army headquarters.

He did not know why the Vice Commander was so concerned about a small ten-man commander, but he could not issue an order. Since the Vice Commander wanted him to report to Xu Yan when he returned, he left despite being filled with doubts.

When Lin Yun reported the report, the Vice Commander's originally unfriendly face instantly turned black.

"Pata!"

"A bunch of trash! If there is one more person who is still alive, this commander will definitely dismember his body into ten thousand pieces. " The infuriated Vice Commander immediately smashed his own tea bowl. He thought that his foolproof plan had gone bankrupt just like that.

"That's true! If he is qualified to be the target of Master Four, then he must have some trump card. Earlier, I was reckless, and only sent Foundation Cultivator, and now, he has already alerted us. Frowning, the Vice Commander paced back and forth in the tent and actually didn't have any idea of what to do for a moment.

Zhou Wu was originally just an ordinary soldier. It was because he met Master Four that he was able to break through the Qi Condensation stage and enter the Foundation Establishment stage.

In these ten years, he had already reached the seventh circle of Foundation Establishment and his position as the vice commander was secured. However, Zhou Wu was very clear on the methods of the Fourth Master; if he did not succeed in this task, not only him, but his family would be implicated as well.

"That's right! If the Dark Arrow failed, there would still be a spear! "As long as he hasn't revealed his identity, he will only be one of my soldiers. Since that's the case, wouldn't it be easy to kill him?" Suddenly, Zhou Wu thought of another plan.

Ben's depressed expression immediately lit up. He was clear that if this matter was completed, Master Four would reward him handsomely.

With such a large amount of resources, it was not impossible for him to reach the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
