Wait, Ill come too Liu Qing Yan gritted her teeth, staggering to stand up.

Gu Qing Shan turned around, seeing the pain in her eyes, very sincerely said: You cant, I forbid it. Stay right there and heal your wounds

Not minding the disappointed look in her eyes, he went outside the camp alone, stopping at an empty area.

Taking a spirit beast bag, Gu Qing Shan infused it with spirit energy.

A red, flaming fox appeared.

Youre seeing a stranger, the fox immediately started to speak.

Li Chu Chen violated military laws, hes been executed. Right now Im looking for his accomplice, you dont seem to be it, so please go back inside the spirit beast bag Gu Qing Shan said.

Hearing that, the foxs eyes rolled, saying: If hes dead, then Ill be going back to Spirit Beast sect myself

No, youre a spirit beast, you cant run away on your own

Gu Qing Shan continued: I will use the fastest method possible to bring your spirit beast bag back to a cultivator of Spirit Beast sect, so please go back inside

The fox ignored him, turning around to run, saying: Ill go by myself, always having to stay inside the spirit beast bag is really

A cold gleam, the fox suddenly jumped, but was caught up by it and cut into a mist of blood.

Gu Qing Shan threw the spirit beast bag away.

He then let out all the other spirit beasts in the other bags.

A blue-eyes white tiger, together with a few non-fighter spirit beasts, all looking at Gu Qing Shan.

What happened? the blue-eyes white tiger asked.

Its nothing, Im looking for the camps attack culprit, which spirit beasts were originally inside these bag? Gu Qing Shan looked at them and asked.

He was still holding a few spirit beast bags, but they were all empty.

Youll have to ask our master, we all stayed inside our spirit beast bags so we dont know if he took in any new spirit beasts

After saying so, the blue-eyes white tiger looked at the foxs corpse.

It was evaluating Gu Qing Shan, then exchanged looks with the other spirit beasts.

Come, go back to your spirit beast bags Gu Qing Shan couldnt get anything out of them, so he told them straight.

All the spirit beast was silent, and went back to their respective spirit beast bags.

Bai Hai Dong and the female cultivators were staying at the camp, still a bit disorientated. But saw Gu Qing Shan quickly returning.

Gu Qing Shan said heavily: Everyone keeps resting, well resume the march in the morning

Nothing eventful happened on the second day.

As they carefully moved, they quickly made to the camp by noon.

When they arrived, they found the camp to already be full of people.

Very quickly, two guard cultivators came up, bringing them to the Generals tent.

In the tent, a General looked at Gu Qing Shans groups orders, then at their badges.

The General was wearing a blue Daoist robe, hasnt even put on his armor.

You are Gu Qing Shan? the General frowned looking at him.

I am Gu Qing Shan asked.

Do you know who I am?

Looking at your outfit, you must be from Blue Clouds Pass

The General leaned back in his chair, looking at him full of motives.

I am Blue Cloud Pass Wu Xing Wen, responsible for this camps rewards and punishment he said.

Ah? That means youre a Ding Yuan General, correct? Gu Qing Shan asked back, seeming to not understood his intention.

General ranks are split into four, from lowest to highest, namely: You Ji, Ding Yuan, Yong Zhen, Shen Wei.

Before, Gong Sun Zhi was a Ding Yuan General, while Ning Yue Xi wearing the golden armor was a You Ji General.

The only Yong Zhen General that humanity has, unfortunately fell during the last campaign, so the highest ranking officer available at the moment are Ding Yuan Generals.

Gu Qing Shan, I remember you seemed to have done quite a good job at the semester examination Wu Xing Wen stared at him and continued.

Indeed, I killed one of your people, so what do you want to say? Gu Qing Shan was impatient.

If you want to show off then do so, simply trying to scare people without anything solid, you think Im a newbie that doesnt know the world?

Wu Xing Wen got angry, slapping the table and shouted: Your original number doesnt match the amount that arrived at the camp, what is the cause of your delay!?

Delay?

During a march, if he got pinned with a delay tag, hell definitely get punished.

Gu Qing Shan coldly laughed, not having any intention to receive it.

He said: We dont have any delays

Then where are the numbers? Wu Xing Wen pursued.

They died

How did they die?

One of them was KIA by demon beasts, another was executed by me due to military law

Wu Xing Wen swung his hand, ordered: Men, come. Heart Appraisal

Heart Appraisal is a very important part of military questioning.

If cultivators are out battling demons, whenever a cultivator kills another, no matter who it is, they must receive Heart Appraisal.

If the killed party really did violate military laws, then theres no problem, you even get Military Merit for it.

But if the killing was done because of personal grudge, purposefully murder or out of selfishness, then youll pay with your own life.

Very quickly, a cultivator came and sat across from Gu Qing Shan>

His eyes were unnaturally bright, almost like he was looking at your very core.

Speak, Ill determine if its the truth for not the other cultivator said nonchalantly.

Gu Qing Shan understood that he has a Gods Chosen Skill to determine lies and truth, so he recounted the situation in detail.

When the cultivator questioned further, Gu Qing Shan easily answered each one.

Finally, he nodded, reporting to Wu Xing Wen: Its all truth

Wu Xing Wen looked at the cultivator in disappointment and stayed silent.

The cultivator then turned around, saying again: Hes not telling any lies

Wu Xing Wen reluctantly spoke: That idiotic brat called Li Chu Chen, what was he thinking that he would harm his own people

He frowned very deeply, carrying an expression of confusion and tiredness.

He was already no longer thinking about making things hard for Gu Qing Shan. After all, hes still Bai Hua Fairys disciple, if the opportunity arises he doesnt mind taking it, but if he cant then theres no need to force it.

What hes more interested right now is actual business.

Wu Xing Wen muttered: Just what is going on at the frontline lately, so many camps have formation plate failures, even marching had failure, it couldnt all be because of traitors?

If thats the case, then humanity is already in chaos.

The decisive battle is in two days.

But if the situation is true, even without the battle, as soon as this news is confirmed, the entire human alliance would collapse on its own.

This was supposed to be preparation for a once-and-for-all decisive battle, but with a situation like this, would it be appropriate to battle?

Gu Qing Shan stayed silent and didnt interfere.

Wu Xing Wen took Gu Qing Shans badge, pointing at it with his hand and reluctantly said: You caught a traitor, saved your fellow men, 10 Military Merits

Saying so, he threw the badge back.

Taking it, Gu Qing Shan scanned it with his inner sight to see his total Military Merit reaching 115.

He needs 180 Merit to rank up to Zhen Wei Chaplain, so hes 65 Military Merit away.

Go, guide them to where they need to be

Wu Xing Wen decided to just not look at him anymore, waving his hand to 2 cultivators on his side to guide them away.

One of them guided them.

Wu Xing Wen stayed silent, then suddenly sighed.

Senior brother, whats wrong? a guard cultivator asked him in a low voice.

Everyone else has already left, so there were only people from Blue Clouds Pass in this tent.

Wu Xing Wen shook his head, still a bit unwilling.

He sighed, saying: Poor him, youngest brother only joined last year, but now hes already gone

All the cultivators exchanged looks and went silent.

They were all well aware, the General was talking about Lee Chang An, after offending Gu Qing Shan at the semester examination, the one who got beheaded.
