Before setting off with the Seventeenth Prince Avier for Laiyang Pass, Chen Xuan made sure to collect all the rewards he was entitled to. He wanted to avoid a situation where heavy consumption during the upcoming war against the Plague Army would result in him missing out on his due compensation. As for the territories of the fallen lords like Hulagu and Fulin, he would simply have to wait until he returned to Tudor City to take control of them.
After a day of rest and reorganization, Chen Xuan’s unit set out with Avier and the Duke of Wei, while Zhou Boqian followed with the main force. Because the military situation was critical and every moment counted, it was essential for all troops to assemble at Laiyang Pass as quickly as possible.
Halfway there, Chen Xuan found a moment to slip into the Eight-Buddha Pagoda to check on the recovery of the Supreme Evil God. After the great battle, the Supreme Evil God had absorbed even more plague energy, and his withered, lifeless body finally showed signs of returning to life; even his tightly shut eyes seemed to flicker slightly.
