On the day of rebirth, I took my baby to find Jiuqiansui to recognize his relatives

"This is impossible!" he shouted angrily, his voice echoing in the hall.

Jiang Yanwan wasted no time and quickly inserted the Heart of the Northern Wasteland into the groove of the Nether Shield. As she moved, the two artifacts began to resonate and emit a dazzling light. The black protective layer on the Nether Shield gradually faded, revealing its true appearance.

"Success! We did it!" Jiang Yanwan said excitedly.

Upon seeing this, Taoist Tianji immediately cast talismans to strengthen their power and ensure that they would not be counterattacked by the enemy.

At this moment, the priest could no longer remain calm. He waved his scepter wildly, releasing a powerful dark energy, which rushed straight towards Xiao Xiangzi and others.

"I will never let you ruin my plan!" the priest roared at the top of his lungs.

Xiao Xiangzi's eyes focused, and she stepped forward to confront the dark energy head-on. The power of justice in her body reached its peak at this moment, and a blazing sword energy rushed towards the dark energy.

"Disappear!" Xiao Xiangzi shouted angrily, and slashed down with his sword like lightning, splitting the dark energy in half. The priest was instantly blown away, crashing into the stone pillar, and blood spurted out of his mouth.

"This... is impossible..." The priest struggled weakly to get up, but eventually collapsed to the ground.

After seeing this scene, the other Northern Wilderness followers around lost their will to fight, fell to their knees, and trembled.

"It seems we won." Taoist Tianji let out a long sigh and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"These guys no longer have the will to resist." Jiang Yanwan looked around at the pale-faced believers, "The next step is to clean up the remaining forces."

Xiao Xiangzi did not relax his vigilance, his eyes were still sharp: "Don't be careless, there are still unknown dangers lurking in the dark."

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and several soldiers rushed in to report: "General, there are a large number of enemy reinforcements outside. They seem to know the situation here and are swarming in!"

"Oh no, this is a trap!" Xiao Xiangzi said in shock, "Quick, retreat!"

She immediately ordered the soldiers to protect Jiang Yanwan and Taoist Tianji, and bring the Shield of the Underworld and the Heart of the Northern Wilderness back to a safe place.

"Everyone, evacuate immediately, it's too dangerous here!" Xiao Xiangzi ordered decisively, "Deputy General, lead some people to cover the retreat of others!"

"Yes, General!" The deputy general immediately followed the order and led a group of soldiers to block the enemy reinforcements.

Xiao Xiangzi personally led the team to escort Jiang Yanwan and Tianji Taoist to break out. They ran quickly while dodging the enemy's shooting and attacks. During the tense escape, they heard the sounds of fighting and screams from behind from time to time.

"Hold on, we'll be safe soon!" Xiao Xiangzi encouraged everyone while waving his sword to block the incoming enemies.

After a difficult trek, they finally arrived at a hidden valley, where they got a chance to rest for a while.

"General, we have successfully evacuated." A soldier reported, panting.

"Very good." Xiao Xiangzi nodded, "Everyone rest immediately and prepare for the next task."

After Jiang Yanwan recovered some strength, she began to study the two artifacts in her hands. She found that there was a mysterious connection between the Heart of the Northern Wilderness and the Shield of the Netherworld, as if the two were supposed to be one.

"The secrets of these two artifacts are more complicated than we thought." Jiang Yanwan frowned and said, "If we can completely crack their mysteries, perhaps we can find a more powerful power."

"That's right." Tianji Taoist nodded in agreement, "However, we need more clues and time."

Just then, they found that some villagers passing by had heard their conversation, and they were all stunned and whispering.

"Is that General Xiaoxiangzi and her companions? They are fighting against such a powerful enemy!" a villager said in surprise.

"How brave! The general and her companions are simply our patron saints." Another villager said with respect.

"That's right, we have to thank them very much. If it weren't for them, the claws of the Northern Wilderness Cult would have reached us long ago." The villagers talked about it.

Xiao Xiangzi smiled faintly when she heard these discussions. She said to Jiang Yanwan and Tianji Taoist: "It seems that our efforts have not been in vain. At least the people have felt safe."

"We must continue to investigate further and find a way to eliminate the root cause of the evil cult in the Northern Wilderness." Jiang Yanwan said firmly.

Taoist Tianji stroked his beard and smiled: "Don't worry, since we have come this far, we will not give up easily."

A few days later, they received instructions from the Emperor to meet with him at the palace to exchange the latest intelligence and mission progress.

In the palace hall, Huangdi faced Xiaoxiangzi and the other two and asked directly, "How is your research on the Netherworld Shield and the Heart of the Northern Wasteland going?"

Jiang Yanwan bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, there is indeed some connection between these two artifacts, but further in-depth research is needed. We cannot fully unravel the mystery for the time being."

Huangdi nodded: "You have made a great breakthrough, and I am very pleased with this. However, I have received news that the remaining members of the Northern Wilderness Cult have found another hiding place, and there are many forces secretly assisting them."

"Therefore, I have decided to send you to the newly discovered gathering place. You must thoroughly uncover the conspiracy of the Northern Wilderness Sect and wipe out its remaining forces." Huangdi's tone was heavy but full of determination.

Xiao Xiangzi answered firmly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that we will live up to your trust and eradicate all evil."

The atmosphere in the hall was solemn. The mission of the three people was made clear again. They were about to embark on a new adventure and fight for justice and light.

On the way out of the palace, Xiaoxiangzi said to Jiang Yanwan and Tianji Taoist: "We must act quickly and not give the enemy any chance to breathe."

Jiang Yanwan nodded in agreement: "Not only that, we also need to be careful, the tricks of the Northern Wilderness Cult may not be as simple as they seem."

Taoist Tianji smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a plan. We will definitely be able to defeat the enemy."

As they set out on a new adventure, the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted their thoughts. A messenger came hurriedly with an anxious look on his face.

"General Xiaoxiangzi, Miss Jiang Yanwan, Taoist Tianji, it's an emergency, we have new information!" The messenger panted, "We need to discuss the next step immediately!"

Xiao Xiangzi frowned, obviously sensing that things were not simple: "What kind of information is this?"

Jiang Yanwan and Tianji Taoist also looked nervous, waiting for the messenger's reply.

The messenger hurriedly took out a secret letter from his bosom and handed it to Xiaoxiangzi. She quickly unfolded the secret letter and frowned as she read: "According to the report from the spies, the remnants of the Northern Wilderness Cult have discovered another mysterious ancient artifact and have gathered a group of powerful followers. They plan to hold a large-scale memorial ceremony in three days, intending to enhance their power through evil magic."
