The setting sun is like blood, yellow sand fills the sky!

Hundreds of miles inside the enemy's border, on the western frontier.

A three-month epic battle was nearing its end, the scene resembling a hellscape. Limbs lay scattered, corpses littered the ground, and blood painted half the sky crimson.

A young man in plain clothes, clutching a blood-stained katana, sat on the ground. Not far from him lay a headless corpse.

The young man in plain clothes was named Ling Hao, the supreme commander of the Blood Shadow Legion, and the King of the West!

The headless corpse was that of the enemy's No. 1 Commander, the Mad War God!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

In a moment, five figures flashed from five different directions at incredible speed, appearing beside the young man in the blink of an eye and kneeling on one knee.

Five people were clad in battle armor, their expressions resolute and stern. A palpable aura of bloodshed emanated from them.

"Reporting to the General, the enemy's elite have been completely wiped out!" said the man in armor, bowing respectfully.

He is named Lu Yue, Ling Hao's deputy general!

The remaining four are the four commanders of the Blood Shadow Squad, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.

"Get up, take a break, and return to camp!" Ling Hao lit a cigarette and took a puff.

"Greetings, Duke Shuai!" The five people rose simultaneously.

Beep! Beep!

At this moment, the phone's message notification sounded. Ling Hao took out his phone from his pocket and looked at it. There were two voice messages.

"Daddy, you...why don't you answer me, I...I'm Rui Rui...I sent you so many messages...you...why don't you reply to me..."

“I... I’m so scared, I’ve been locked up by bad people... I can't find my mother...”

The voice belongs to a little girl, and it's clear she's in extreme fear.

"Kid, you sent the wrong message. I'm not your dad. Did you run into a bad guy?"

Ling Hao adjusted his emotions and replied.

This number, I already sent him two messages last night, the content is similar to this one.

But, he was constantly engaged in bloody battles and had no time to deal with this wrong message.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The message came again, and the little girl burst into tears.

"Dad's lying, Mom said... this number is yours, isn't it? You're naughty, Ruirui. Dad doesn't want you anymore?"

"Ruirui is so scared, she...she heard those bad people say that after today, Ruirui will never see Mommy and Daddy again...I'm really scared..."

"Dad probably doesn't know what Ruru looks like yet. I... I took a picture of myself last month for my birthday, I'll send it to Dad right away. Dad has to remember what Ruru looks like."

After the voice message, a photo was sent, of a little girl who looked like she was carved from jade.

At the age of four or five, a pair of big eyes that seem to speak, and a pair of small dimples make them especially adorable.

Boom!

Upon seeing this photo, a wave of murderous intent erupted from Ling Hao like a raging flood!

Destroy heaven and earth, straight to the clouds!

At this moment, the temperature of the surrounding air plummeted to near freezing instantly. The entire space felt as if it were shrouded in oppressive darkness, like a storm cloud looming overhead.

Five young men standing nearby couldn't help but shiver involuntarily, their faces pale with fright.

Having been by the general's side for so long, they had never felt such a level of killing intent!

"Commander, what happened?" Lu Yue asked after taking a deep breath.

Ling Hao didn't answer him, picked up his phone and dialed the little girl's number.

However, a busy tone came through the speaker.

Ling Hao was unwilling to accept this. He tried again, but the situation remained the same.

"Lu Yue, no matter what method you use, I need to get to Dongzhou immediately!" Ling Hao turned to Lu Yue and roared in a low voice, his whole body filled with killing intent.

"Yes sir!" Lu Yue didn't waste any time, taking out his phone and making a call.

"Xuanwu, mobilize all resources and locate this phone number immediately!" Ling Hao then turned to the other four people and gave them the little girl's phone number.

"Yes!" The four of them stood up and saluted, then quickly got to work.

Five minutes later, an SUV sped toward the border line at top speed.

"Marshal, what on earth happened?" In the car, Lu Yue looked at Ling Hao, who was still radiating killing intent in the passenger seat, and asked.

"She really is my daughter!" Ling Hao's voice was icy cold, his eyes bloodshot.

As he spoke, scenes from the past flashed before his eyes.

A life full of hardship, leaving home at a young age and drifting to the East Continent. He was adopted by the head of the Zheng family.

Five years ago, on a night, his adoptive family was murdered. He was stabbed multiple times but luckily escaped and was saved by Qin Yuxin, the eldest daughter of the Qin family.

Qin Yuxin took him to a hotel, and shortly after, he fainted from exhaustion.

Qin Yuxin bought medicine for him to heal his wounds, and it wasn't until two nights later that he recovered a little bit of consciousness.

After waking up, he was overcome with grief and anger, sobbing like a child as he held onto Qin Yuxin.

Qin Yuxin, out of compassion, allowed him to hold her tightly in his arms. She knew Ling Hao needed an outlet for his emotions.

At that time, Ling Hao was half-conscious. What happened afterward, he had no memory of it whatsoever.

The next day, Qin Yuxin was gone, leaving behind a note.

Tell him the one who killed his foster father might find him here soon, and tell him to leave Tozhou immediately and never come back.

And told him that she had taken the dragon-shaped jade pendant he wore, keeping it as a memento.

He originally thought that Qin Yuxin was just a nobleman he met in his life, and he thought in his heart that if there was a chance in the future, he must repay her kindness of saving his life.

The moment he saw the jade pendant in the little girl's hand, everything became clear to him.

Five years ago that night, he did something beastly. He not only hurt Qin Yuxin but also made her pregnant!

What pained him even more was that his own daughter had been reaching out to him for help since yesterday, and he had mistakenly thought it was the wrong message!

"Ruirui is so scared, she...she heard those bad people say that after...after today, Ruirui will never see her mommy and daddy again... I'm really scared..."

Thinking of his daughter's voice filled with despair, his heart was bleeding, an endless agony, wishing he could slap himself hard!

He is not only a bad husband but also a bad father!

"What a Western King, a Shadow Gate Master, all are bullshit!"

Even one's own daughter cannot be protected, what a shame to be a father!

"My general, five of us request to follow you to Dongzhou!"

Half an hour later, the jeep roared into a restricted airport, and Lu Yue led his four generals in a simultaneous shout.

Along the way, they also got a general understanding of what happened. Each one of them was equally filled with murderous intent.

To actually dare to lay a hand on the General's daughter, are they trying to exterminate nine clans?!

"Lu Yue, follow me. The four of you stay behind in the West to handle the aftermath. If anyone disobeys, they will be dealt with by military law!"

Ling Hao said in a low voice, then turned and rushed into the plane. Lu Yue closely followed him.

Two minutes later.

A military jet soared into the sky, streaking across the heavens like a bolt of lightning towards the east.
