Lin Feng was taken aback by the fat uncle’s impassioned and moving words, and stood there in a daze for quite a while without knowing how to react.

From the Star-Gazing Pavilion, starting as a humble lower division disciple, Lin Feng suffered much bullying and hardship before he reached today. Although he had won many battles, it was the first time he heard someone from the Six Great Sects openly praise him like this.

Lin Feng felt particularly warm inside.

However, facing such exaggerated praise from the fat uncle, Lin Feng still felt it was a bit over the top.

Lin Feng knew this victory was not achieved by him alone. It was the joint effort of a thousand people allied with the more than 7,000 from the Six Great Sects, all working together in harmony.

So he waved his sleeve gently and replied softly to the fat uncle: "I am just an honest person, maintaining the peace of the world and the well-being of the people is my duty. Squad Leader, you have praised me too much."

The fat uncle, seeing Lin Feng so young, yet able to express such righteousness, was deeply moved, his emotions visible.

"The world is blessed to have a hero like you, a blessing to all the people."

Lin Feng bowed indifferently in return.

"Now the strong enemy has retreated, yet they will surely attack again one day. The Six Great Sects have been stationed here for several days. They must be especially fatigued. Why don’t we withdraw to Peace City together and recuperate? When the enemy attacks, we will be ready to defend with all our might."

Lin Feng’s words were logical and wholeheartedly for the benefit of the Six Great Sects. With such a proposal, how could the fat uncle refuse?

However, he was only the leader of a branch, and the Six Great Sects had to follow the decisions of their respective Sect Leaders, reported to Lord Chang Xuan before taking any action.

So he merely replied to Lin Feng: "This matter is significant. I still need to report to the Alliance Hierarch before making any decisions."

An Armored Soldier, seeing Lin Feng defeat the 3,000-strong vanguard dispatched by the 100,000-strong army of the Qingling Realm outside the city, merely chuckled coldly as he stood on the city wall and said:

"Hmph, let you and the Six Great Sects live a few days longer."

At this moment, the bright moon hung high above the city wall, and Lin Feng’s troops had reached beneath the city wall, waiting outside the moat for the city gates to open.

The Armored Soldier personally descended the city to greet them, smiling contentedly.

"Well, General Lin has returned. I have been waiting for a long time."

Greeting Lin Feng, the Armored Soldier immediately turned around and said to the people behind him: "Someone, quickly come and help General Lin with his horse."

Immediately a soldier led Lin Feng’s horse forward, while the Armored Soldier invited Lin Feng to board the carriage and head to the Central Army tent for the celebratory banquet with Chen Lang.

Lin Feng also called Wu Fa, as well as Yuan Hong, and then Qian Yue and Qian Hua.

They all boarded the carriage together; the Armored Soldier was very enthusiastic, warmly greeting Lin Feng and his companions, showing genuine sincerity.

On the carriage, the Armored Soldier said to Lin Feng and the others: "You are all heroes of the Court, allow me to write a report to the Court, so the Emperor can commend you."

Wu Fa waved his hand: "There’s no need for commendations. If the Court really thinks we’re doing well, they should send more troops to support us."

The Armored Soldier kept his cheerful demeanor, slapping his thigh.

"Of course, of course, I’ve already sent an expedited report to the Court, and I believe in a few days, the Court’s army will come and support."

By the way he spoke, it sounded as if it were true.

Actually, the thoughts in the Armored Soldier’s mind were probably beyond even Lin Feng’s guess.

The sky had darkened, and Peace City’s sky was filled with infinite stars, captivating people. Raising their heads to watch the dazzling night sky from the carriage, it resembled a vast starry sky stretching endlessly.

At this moment, Qian Yue sat opposite Qian Hua. Qian Yue looked at the endless starry sky with infinite longing.

Watching Qian Yue stare at the stars, Qian Hua asked him: "Big brother, you’ve watched these stars for so many years, how come you’re not tired of it yet?"

Hearing Qian Hua speak to him, Qian Yue buried his head determinedly and said: "Isn’t there another world beyond the starry sky?"

His tone carried an endless yearning for the vast starry sky.

At this moment, Qian Hua lifted his head as well and gazed at the ceiling of stars. Not fully understanding what Qian Yue said, he still wanted to speak:

"I don’t know how big a star in the sky is, but I know it must be bigger than our Peace City."

After speaking, the two of them burst into laughter.

They rode separately from Lin Feng in two war chariots, with two tall horses pulling in front, very majestic.

Earlier, Chen Lang already issued a decree not allowing citizens to welcome them along the streets within the city. After all, the war had just begun; there was nothing to celebrate yet.

But to boost morale, a banquet was set up in the Central Army tent.

A few delicacies were prepared to entertain Lin Feng and those recognized as heroes.

At this moment, Chen Lang awaited in the Central Army tent when suddenly a servant approached.

The servant, with a red Water Python Headscarf tied on his head, was medium-built, with rough skin and robust physique. His thick arms and calloused fingers indicated years of hard labor.

The servant approached and knelt on one knee, clenching his fists. His voice was firm and strong, filled with energy.
