The scout's words struck Yang Minggui and Xu Mu like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, causing their faces to change dramatically. Xu Mu's reaction was even stronger than Yang Minggui's, as his mighty Innate Spiritual Qi erupted from his body, lifting the reporting soldier's collar from a distance. He roared, "What did you say?!"
The reporting soldier was trembling with fear but still mustered the courage to say, "The... the East Gate has fallen, and bandits have broken into... the city."
"Crack."
The bone handle of the feather fan was directly snapped by Xu Mu, but his expression quickly calmed down. He released the reporting soldier and cupped his hands towards Yang Minggui, saying, "Commander, the situation is dire. The Celestial King Hall might be damaged by the bandits. Please quickly dispatch troops for reinforcements."
Hearing this, Yang Minggui showed a panicked expression. He left some people to guard these laborers and hurriedly led others to rush to the city's aid.
