Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Gao Shoushan Became A War Prisoner

"You! How could you do that?" Gao Shoushan asked in pain.

"How do you think I did that?" Bai Tingfeng asked.

Then Gao Shoushan remembered something. He heard a rumour about a talented alchemist joining the Liuyin Empire’s military. He never thought that having such an alchemist would create much difference.

"You... can never defeat the Yue Kingdom." Gao Shoushan said.

Bai Tingfeng laughed. "I will make sure to let you be there to see your kingdom getting ruined."

Bai Tingfeng did not have any sympathy for Gao Shoushan and Yue Kingdom.

"Humph! We still have many soldiers. We are not going to lose to your empire." Gao Shoushan stated.

"Yeah... Yeah..." Bai Tingfeng knocked off him.

Gao Shoushan lost consciousness. Bai Xiang told them to leave a few soldiers as war prisoners. They would be used later.

After the battle was finished, Bai Xiang looked around for his daughter. He wanted to see if his daughter was injured.

The moment his eye laid on his daughter, he rushed over. Other soldiers were surprised to see Bai Xiang rush over to the alchemist.

"Are you okay? Do you have any injury?" Bai Xiang asked in worry.

"Answering Your Excellency, I am fine." Bai Xifeng answered it properly since they were still in public.

The soldiers felt that their General Bai treasured the alchemist seeing him worried like that about Bai Xifeng’s wellbeing.

"Let’s leave this place and stay somewhere else. We will proceed to the Yue Kingdom tomorrow morning." Bai Xiang gave the order.

They could not stay here with human corpses lying around. The beasts could come over and eat the corpses.

After making the camp, the soldiers started the head counting. To their surprise, none of their soldiers were missing. Meaning none of them died in this battle.

They were only injured in some places but not fatal injuries. It would be healed by the elixirs and with the pharmacist’s help.

Even Bai Xiang and several high-ranking soldiers were surprised about this.

....

The messenger rushed over to Yue Kingdom’s military camp. Zhang Tao and several military officers were inside the tent when the messenger rushed over.

"General Zhang, it is bad news. Our soldiers lost in the battle." The messenger reported what he had seen in today’s battle.

"What?" Zhang Tao stood up. He could not believe the news. "All of them?"

"I believe several soldiers were caught by the Liuyin Empire." The messenger stated.

"Then, how about deputy commander Gao?" An officer asked.

That was the emperor’s nephew. If he was dead, it would be over for them too.

"I believe he is still alive. He had been caught by Bai Tingfeng." The messenger stated.

"What? How did Bai Tingfeng manage to catch deputy commander Gao? He is a Middle Rank Cold Core Realm cultivator while Bai Tingfeng is just a Low Rank Cold Core Realm cultivator. Bai Tingfeng probably has someone to help him catch Deputy Commander Gao." Another officer clenched his fist.

"It is not true. Bai Tingfeng was fighting with Deputy Commander Gao alone. And I believe that Bai Tingfeng already achieved the High Rank Cold Core Realm." The messenger said again.

This time, everyone was silent. Their expressions were very dreadful.

"From what I know, Bai Tingfeng was just a Low-Rank Cold Core Realm cultivator. How did he manage to achieve that in a short period?" An officer asked.

"I think it must have something to do with the rumour?"

"What rumour?"

"The rumour where they found a talented alchemist. The alchemist probably created a pill that helped him to achieve his current strength. He probably has something with Bai Xiang’s breakthrough to Nascent Soul Realm as well." Zhang Tao said.

"If that’s the case, it will not be a good end to us." Han Yongrui, the Lieutenant General said.

"Bai Xiang, where did he find that monster?" Zhang Tao sighed.

He needed to report this to the emperor. He did not know how the emperor would react when he knew that his nephew was in the enemy’s hands.

The alchemist that they had mentioned was eating at the moment. Bai Xifeng knew that they were in the middle of the war, so, the quality of the food was not as good as before.

Well, to be honest, the cultivators don’t need to eat but Bai Xifeng was eating to satisfy her stomach. She managed to eat after a thorough inspection by her father.

Her father asked her hundreds of times if she was injured or not. Bai Xifeng hopelessly answered it with an answer ’no’ until her father was satisfied.

Bai Xiang was with Bai Tingfeng staying in front of Gao Shoushan. Gao Shoushan had already regained his consciousness at this moment.

Gao Shoushan tried to escape when he gained consciousness earlier. However, he realized that he could not move his hands and legs due to being tied by a rope that had a paper attached to it.

It was given by Bai Xifeng. Bai Xifeng told them that the cultivators could not break this rope if they had been tied to it. It seemed to be true.

Bai Xifeng used her runes to strengthen the rope so that even a powerful cultivator could not break this rope. When she was writing this rune, she even coughed out some blood. She was lucky that neither her father nor her brother saw her coughing out some blood. Otherwise, they would be worried sick for her.
