Chapter 175 The Goddess Descends to Earth, and the Army Kneels in Welcome

The camp at Yanmen Pass was like a pot of boiling water.

"Report! Still no news of the Prince!"

"Report! The scouts sent to provide backup were turned back by the heavy snow!"

Outside the central command tent, Tie Kui paced back and forth in the snow, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, his one-armed hand pounding his thigh.

"Damn it! Damn it! I should have disobeyed orders and gone with them! It's been a whole day and night. If anything happens to the Prince and Princess, I'll slit my throat and beg for forgiveness!"

The other generals also looked dejected. Although they didn't say it, they had all prepared for the worst.

Deep behind enemy lines for 500 miles, and with heavy snow blocking the mountains, even the strongest person couldn't withstand it.

Just when the entire army was filled with anxiety and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

The sentry on the watchtower suddenly let out a terrified scream that went off-key:

"Enemy attack—!!!"

"No...not people! They're...they're wild beasts! So many wild beasts!"

"What?!"

Tie Kui shuddered, drew his sword from his waist, and roared:

"All troops, form ranks! Prepare to meet the enemy!"

"Splash—"

Tens of thousands of troops quickly assembled, bows were strung and swords were drawn.

Tie Kui took the lead and rushed out of the gate, wanting to see what kind of enemy dared to attack at this time.

However, when he rushed out of the camp and saw the scene on the snowy plain ahead...

Clang.

The long sword in his hand slipped limply and fell to the ground.

It wasn't just him.

Behind him, tens of thousands of Dasheng soldiers, who had been on high alert, stood frozen in place, their eyes almost bulging out of their sockets, and some even forgot to breathe.

They witnessed a scene they would never forget, a scene that would overturn all their previous understanding—

Amidst the swirling snow.

A giant wolf, as large as a calf and with snow-white fur, is walking with proud and steady steps through the snow.

On its back.

Seated there was a man as majestic and aloof as a god—Regent Pei Yunjing.

In his arms, he held tightly the woman in tattered red clothes, covered in blood—Princess Tangli.

And behind them...

It was a vast, dark mass of beasts, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Snow wolves, black bears, cheetahs...

Vultures and golden eagles circling in the sky...

This is a sight that could never be found on earth.

This is clearly a myth descending!

"That's... the Wolf King?"

"Your Highness... Your Highness has returned riding a wolf?"

"Your Highness... Your Highness, she..."

The soldiers looked at the woman in red who was unconscious in Pei Yunjing's arms.

At this moment, the bloodstains on her body no longer looked disheveled, but rather like a layer of sacred red makeup.

The Snow Wolf King stopped ten paces in front of the gate.

As it came to a stop.

"boom--"

The vast herd of beasts behind them also stopped in their tracks.

Not a single beast dared to cross the line, not a single beast let out a roar of attack.

They simply lowered their heads in unison, letting out a low, respectful growl, like a farewell, towards the two people on horseback.

"Waaah—"

This low roar, when gathered together, shook the heavens and the earth, and shattered the defenses of everyone present.

"God...goddess..."

Someone, trembling, uttered those two words first.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The sound of weapons hitting the ground filled the air.

Those tough men who shed blood but not tears on the battlefield seemed to have found true faith at this moment. Their knees buckled, and they knelt heavily before the figure riding on the wolf's back.

One person kneels, ten people kneel, ten thousand people kneel...

In the blink of an eye, a dark mass of people knelt down outside Yanmen Pass.

"The goddess has appeared! Heaven blesses Dasheng!"

"The goddess has appeared! Heaven blesses Dasheng!"

The shouts, which started as a jumble of noise, transformed into a unified roar that soared into the sky and resounded throughout the world.

Even at the height of his fame, Pei Yunjing had never received such “divine” worship.

Because it is out of awe for the unknown, and out of submission to miracles.

On the wolf's back, Pei Yunjing looked at the scene of ten thousand soldiers kneeling in worship, without showing the slightest surprise.

He carefully held the pear in his arms, then took a long stride and jumped off the wolf's back.

After landing, he didn't turn around, but simply waved his hand casually behind him with his back to the pack of beasts.

The gesture was like shooing away a swarm of flies, or like telling a subordinate to "step down."

(Actually, it was the lingering power of Tang Li before she fell unconscious, plus the wild beasts had already reached their destination and were supposed to leave anyway.)

But in the eyes of the soldiers, this was the supreme power of the Regent and the Goddess!

Sure enough, with that wave of his hand...

The Snow Wolf King gave Tang Li a deep look, then let out a long howl, and led the vast herd of beasts, turning and rushing towards the boundless snow-capped mountains, disappearing into the wind and snow in the blink of an eye.

It's as if they never existed.

Pei Yunjing ignored the crowd's kneeling and cheering.

He carried the pear tree, trudging through the snow, and strode into the gate.

His steps were steady, but only Tie Kui, who was closest to him, could see that the prince's hands were trembling slightly.

"Your Highness..." Tie Kui knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, wanting to say something.

"Send word to the army doctor."

Pei Yunjing coldly interrupted him, his voice hoarse and tired, yet exuding an unquestionable imperial aura.

Without pausing, he walked straight towards the central command tent, leaving the tens of thousands of soldiers with only a resolute and majestic silhouette:

"Bring the best medicine for wounds."

"besides……"

Pei Yunjing slightly turned his head, his gaze sweeping over the kneeling soldiers, his words ringing out firmly:

"What happened today will be recorded in history."

"My queen is the goddess who protects the nation of Dasheng."
