After the demon spider crawled out of the soil, he seemed to feel the human breath of Lin Lu and crawled towards him quickly.

Lin Lu immediately burst out with spiritual power, and the demon spider burst out of thin air, splashing out green blood mist!

Jiang Wu was sweating coldly. Lin Lu was a powerful man in the Spirit Transformation Realm and was not afraid of the infection of the demon spider. However, he only had the spirit gathering realm. If he was accidentally bitten by the demon spider... the consequences would be unimaginable!

Lin Lu still doesn't understand.

"The information you sent back last time said that the infected humans will only become demons after death... The soldiers in the camp cannot die out of thin air, right?"

Chu Tian replied affirmatively.

"It's poison! The demon man has transformed these demon spiders. They not only spread plague, but also carry extremely poisons themselves. Once they are bitten, they will undoubtedly die!"

Lin Lu's body trembled violently. The demon man's heart was so cruel that he actually injected the demon spider into the body of a warrior and brought it into the deep valley.

Even if the demons win today, these demons carrying poison will die!

Chu Tian sighed.

"There are demon spiders everywhere in the valley. You can even use the spiritual armor to block the realm of spirit gathering, but the body tempering realm will not work."

Most of the imperial warriors are in the body tempering realm!

Lin Lu understood Chu Tian’s thoughts. Although he was unwilling to give up, he could only make a decision cruelly.

The longer the delay, the greater the loss!

He called a commander and issued a difficult order.

"Announce the entire army to evacuate here and retreat to Tiancang Academy!"

The order was conveyed in the way of gold, and the imperial warriors retreated immediately.

At dawn, Lin Lu had already led his army back thirty miles.

After counting the number of people, Lin Lu felt particularly distressed. There were more soldiers who died last night than the battle in the daytime!

All the remaining troops returned to Tiancang Academy and began to build a new line of defense.

Chu Tian was surprised to find that the runes carved on the buildings in the academy have been activated at this moment.

Looking from the mountain where the college is located to the east and west sides, a light curtain stands high like a city wall with sand in the hundred-mile desert as the boundary.

This light curtain seems weak, but the demonic storm that came out of the demon cave was blocked by all!

To the north of the light curtain, the black sand dances wildly.

South of the light curtain, the wind is calm.

Chu Tian was deeply shocked by these methods. He could see that this light curtain was formed by the interweaving power of thousands of spiritual arrays, which could be called a miracle! Even with his current attainment of talismans, it would not be able to be reproduced after ten years!

"Teaching Yang E said that these spiritual arrays were written by the national teacher, and they were really shocking!"

Unable to help, Chu Tian began to expect to meet the national teacher.

When he returned to the college, Chu Tian met his uncle Chu Ninghan. To his surprise, Chu Ninghan took off his teaching clothes and wore armor.

Chu Ninghan saw Lin Lu beside Chu Tian and stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty has an order, and I will take over the army. Thank you General Lin Lu for your hard work, so let's have a rest for now!"

Lin Lu was seized from power, but he was not upset. This miserable defeat made him feel disheartened and even desperate.

He took out the military talisman hidden in his belt and handed it to Chu Ninghan.

"I know you were the youngest and promising general in the Imperial Army and had a lot of dealings with demons, but this demon tide is a big deal, so don't be careless!"

Chu Ninghan nodded solemnly.

“General Lin

Please rest assured, I will do my best!”

Lin Lu left, his originally tall back was full of fatigue at this moment. His hair turned a few white, as if he had aged twenty years old overnight.

Chu Tian looked at himself curiously, and Chu Ninghan asked with a smile.

"I didn't expect it, did you?"

Chu Tian shook his head first, then nodded.

"Before coming to the college, my mother told me, uncle, you are the most promising general in the empire, but because of her and my father's affairs, you were demoted to the college to teach."

Chu Ninghan explained.

"That's right, Chu Yunlong elopes with Shuang'er, causing trouble in Kyoto. Although I stopped my father's order to destroy the Chu family, his anger must be poured out, otherwise his face as the patriarch would be gone.

His father drove Shuang'er out of the house, and the father and daughter broke up.

And I took the initiative to resign from my post in the army, return the military power, and then come to the college to teach."

Chu Tian's expression was subtle.

"But this is just for others to see, isn't it?"

Chu Ninghan was stunned for a long time, and then couldn't help laughing.

"It's not bad that it's Shuang'er's son, who is as smart as that."

The reason why Chu Tian judged this way was due to the story that Yuchi Hongyan had told him.

Yuchi Hongyan regarded Chu Ningshuang as her idol and envied Chu Ningshuang for her courage to pursue her love and not to be a victim of family marriage.

Chu Ninghan explained.

"The emperors have five major families, and the Qin family is the most powerful in the royal family. The second is my Chu family. Your grandfather is the general of the country and has half of the army of the empire.

Chu Tian, ​​have you heard a saying that your achievements are so great! Originally, the royal family wanted to wait for your grandfather to take back his military power when he grows old, but my Chu family has been in the army for generations. Your grandfather is still in his prime, and I am rising in the army and his reputation is getting higher.

The royal family will never allow the Chu family's reputation to continue to expand, so they try their best to check and balance. One of the ways is marriage!"

Chu Ninghan paused for a moment and said with a wry smile.

"Your grandfather has many sons, but your daughter is only your mother. Your Majesty has no princess of the right age, so he decided to let a prince marry your mother."

Chu Tian was silent, and Yuchi Hongyan once said that his mother was the imperial capital who left the marriage, but she did not want to escape the marriage contract of the royal family.

"So, my mother would still flee against the order?"

Chu Ninghan shook his head.

"If there is a clear order, let alone your Chu family, even the entire Baichuan City will be burned to pieces by the anger of the royal family.

Your Majesty is willing to marry, but you still have to take into account your grandfather's ideas, so you just mentioned a few words in private, and did not make a marriage contract or issue an order.

Your mother is unwilling to do so, but your grandfather has no choice. If he refuses, Your Majesty will feel resentful. By then, when the royal family restrains the Chu family, the methods will not be as gentle as marriage.

Later, your father took your mother to elope, and your grandfather simply followed the situation. First, the father and daughter broke up, expelled your mother from the family, and then asked me to take the initiative to take the military affairs and show my attitude.

There is no engagement or decree, and the royal family's face is not damaged, and His Majesty who achieves his goal will no longer pursue the investigation."

Chu Tian asked.

"Uncle, you chose to teach in the college for today?"

Chu Ninghan smiled.

"That's right, military power is the foundation of the Chu family's foundation in the empire. After your grandfather's hundred years, he will definitely

Someone must take over the power in his hands, otherwise the Chu family will gradually decline like the Yuchi family.

I chose to teach in the academy because I knew that the demon tide would break out sooner or later. Looking at the entire empire, no general has more experience in dealing with demons than me. Once the demon tide reaches Tiancang Academy, your majesty will have to re-activate me!

The military power he handed over in person was not as easy to take back as before!”
