Follow the path of Dao from infancy

He knew Li Hao might not remember him, it was just a casual gesture, but he remembered the favor.

As a grandmaster, although he also revered life and death, he was not truly decrepit.

"The strongest young grandmaster in our Dayu Divine Dynasty for a thousand years cannot die here, Master Hao, you go first!"

"Brothers, don't we want to achieve great things? Now is a great opportunity!"

"Let's also take on the wind and snow of this Frontier Pass!"

"I want my name to be carved into Heavenly Gate Pass too!"

In the crowd, many people roared with passion.

Some started to shrink back, quietly moving to the edge of the crowd, ready to find an opportunity to leave with complex emotions.

As people gathered, several flare bombs shot up into the sky from within the crowd, turning into streaks of purple smoke – the signal for the most urgent call for reinforcements during a siege!

When the beacon fires soared, all who saw it rushed to assist!

One call is met, and countless voices unite!

Wan Shan, the Demon King, his face showing a slight change, quickly looked towards the rear of the crowd. He didn't care about these disorganized masses, but he was worried there might be people from the Li Family among them.

After all, behind this little human sprite was the Divine General Mansion.

It seemed unlikely to him that the old generation of the Li Family wouldn't be following and protecting such an extraordinary individual in secret.

Meanwhile, the tide of demons beyond the pass had swept forward, all being groups of demons from the Wanshan District under the command of the Demon King Wan Shan.

As for the Dragon Lord, he had come himself without deploying a large army to standby for battle.

Seeing the demons outside the pass, the people who had rushed here quickly drew their weapons, ready for battle, only to suddenly realize something – where was the city that should have been here?

There were no city walls, no arrays, only an open camp!

The crowd immediately realized something, and beyond the shock in their hearts, they couldn't help but feel the desolate sorrow of a blood-soaked battle.

It turned out that defending the frontier was this bitter!

And yet, this young man, who had startled the entire Dayu, was standing guard alone, silently taking on the burden.

One man to guard the lone city, one man to hold the heavenly pass!

Some who had hesitated and shrunk back now felt ashamed, their martial artist's blood still hot.

Standing at the edge of the nation's territory, they suddenly felt as if they could sense the hardships and tears of their ancestors who had fought to claim this land!

The bloodborne pride passed down through a thousand years seemed to clothe them at this moment.

Today, they were the defenders of this place.

"Kill!!"

Many grandmasters led the charge. Without a city, without arrays, they themselves became the city, the array!

A resounding war cry erupted, among which were young heroes who had come upon hearing the news, seeking glory and the chance to establish a lasting reputation, and they too rushed into the tide of demons, fighting recklessly.

"Master Hao, we are also going,"

Bai Chunhai gave Li Hao a slight bow and then turned solemnly, rushing towards the battlefield at the pass.

Lin Qingfeng nodded slightly to Li Hao, then took to the air, his sword emitting a faint hum as it cleaved through the void.

"I never expected that I would have a day to serve the dynasty,"

Zhou Haitang showed a smile to Li Hao, then turned and charged towards the battlefield.

He had come alone, not bringing disciples or his daughter, anticipating the peril of this battle; he had made sure his daughter and wife were well settled.

Unburdened by concerns, why fear shedding tears and blood?

"Master Hao, you protected the spirits of the Zhao Family, we're indebted to you, and may our strength carve out a path of blood for you!"

"Our Feng Family ancestors' spirits received your protection; though the Feng Family is small, we're eternally grateful!"

"Grandpa Wei's spirit pushed me to join the army. It's great these demons have come!"

"The Yan Family owes a great debt to you. We wish to offer our strength for Heavenly Gate Pass!"

Apart from the grandmasters from Dayue City that Li Hao had saved, there were also many other grandmasters in the crowd, including those from the Fifteen Li Realm.

They had never met Li Hao before, but they had traveled thousands of miles just because Li Hao had defended Dayue City, securing the city's three martial temples and the many heroic spirits within them.

These spirits came from many powerful families and sects; some descendants were fallen, but upon hearing the news, they also rushed here, willing to contribute what little they could!

Beyond that, there were commanding and deputy officers from Dayue City among the crowd, all who had sped over with their troops!

Such was the momentum that formed this vast assembly of people.

Feng Boping and Song Qiumo's auras remained locked on the three Demon Kings, but seeing the many figures that had come to meet Li Hao, they couldn't help feeling a bit of sighs and complexity.

All these people came because of this young man, willing to fight alongside him in life and death!

When the young man set off from the most illustrious and noble Divine General Mansion during the darkest time, many students had competed to bid him farewell.

Now, as this young man sat guarding the snowy frontier pass alone, countless people were willing to rush to his side to join in battle.

Perhaps, this was the natural charisma that this young man carried with him.

"Nothing but trash!"

The Demon King Wan Shan's eyes darkened. He had wanted to use the demon tide to hold Li Hao and the others at bay, to exhaust them. If they took action against the demon tide, they would inevitably expose weaknesses, which they could exploit.

The best outcome would be for the demon tide to completely deplete Li Hao's mysterious state.

But now, his demons were blocked outside the pass, unable to get close to the young man.

"A matter of a slap,"

the Dragon Lord murmured, raising his hand towards the many figures fighting the demons outside the pass.

But as his hand lifted, he felt a killing intent lock onto him – it was Feng Boping and Song Qiumo down below.

Though they were at the end of their strength, they maintained their combat power.
