0The first rays of the morning sun sprinkled over the top of Crooked City. The city that had been destroyed by the blood and fire was no longer calm. The soldiers were on alert while the auxiliary troops moved the city's defensive equipment non-stop, creating a cacophony that would cause the crumbling city to collapse in the next moment.2

However, after waiting for a long time, the outside of the city was still quiet. The Qin soldiers who should have been attacking the city in great numbers were nowhere to be seen. The vast battlefield was so spacious that it caused people to feel uneasy. The soldiers looked at each other in dismay. They were all curious as to why the Qin soldiers hadn't left their battalions to fight.

Having guarded Crooked City for so long, from the Great General to the ordinary soldiers, they were all very clear that Crooked City could fall at any moment, and the greatest possibility would be today.

But today, the Qin armies did not continue to attack the city. With their own forces unharmed, this was something that would never happen to the Qin soldiers who attacked the city and pulled out the strongholds until they died.

Pang Qi repeatedly confirmed that the Qin Army did not intend to attack and instead adopted a defensive stance. Finally, he could not endure it any longer and laughed maniacally towards the sky from the top of the city wall.

His laughter caused the Jin Jun soldiers to be confused. Some of the officers could faintly guess that Crooked City had been defended, but they could not believe it. Thus, they all went forward to ask.

Pang Qi waved his hand but did not tell them the truth. Instead, he ordered everyone to not slack off and to hurry up and repair the damaged city walls and fortifications in case the Qin Army launched another ferocious attack from time to time.

In his heart, Pang Qi was almost certain that the mysterious expert who appeared two days ago had indeed fulfilled his promise and killed the Qin general, Bai Jian. If not for this, the Qin soldiers definitely wouldn't be in such a state.

Honestly speaking, Pang Qi didn't have much confidence in Cheng Qing's victory. Even if Cheng Qing had displayed extraordinary strength, it was still an utter nonsense for him to be able to obtain the first rank of a general in a million soldiers. No matter how powerful a cultivator was, he would not be able to withstand the combined assault of countless experts in the army by himself.

On the other hand, Pang Qi wasn't worried. Cheng Qing was colluding with Bai Jian to plot against him.

After all, if the Qin wanted to take over Crooked City and invade the heart of the Jin Kingdom, there was no need for schemes or tricks.

Before Pang Qi could regain his composure, the familiar mysterious expert suddenly appeared at the top of the city wall. The other party was standing on the female wall, his clothes fluttering in the wind. There was a cold arrogance in his indifferent expression that did not show on his face. With a wave of his hand, a head flew towards Pang Qi.

"The head is here."

Cheng Qing casually said, his gaze falling onto Pang Qi's face. "Is General Pang ready to keep his promise?"

Pang Qi recognized the white grass and after some inspection, he confirmed that it was not a fake. He was overjoyed and his hands could not help but tremble.

This was the Qin Empire's number one general, and also the head of the continent's number one general! This person led an army to destroy Zhongshan, Zheng, and Xue. He caused the countries of the West Continent to be disheartened, causing countless nobles to be unable to sleep, and caused the Jin Nation to face an unprecedented national crisis!

Now, he only had his head left, and it was still in his hands.

How could this not make Pang Qi excited? How could he not feel as though he was suddenly in a dream?

The latter part of Cheng Qing's sentence caused Pang Qi to recover from his surprise. He smilingly looked at Cheng Qing, and was just about to say something to thank him, when suddenly, he met Cheng Qing's gaze and was startled. Immediately, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
