Elder Gong said calmly, "Since Commander Luo said we were wrong, then we must be wrong, and we will accept any punishment.
After all, the five squads of the reconnaissance army were wiped out during the invasion of the demon army, and Commander Luo will inevitably be held accountable. Finding two scapegoats to share some of the blame will also save face."
Luo Jun's expression turned cold, his eyes fell on Old Gong like a knife, and he laughed, "How dare you rebel against your superiors? You don't know whether you live or die!"
As he finished speaking, a strong hurricane emerged out of nowhere in front of him and flew towards Mr. Gong at a rapid speed.
Caught off guard, Mr. Gong felt as if he was hit in the abdomen by a powerful force. He was then pushed back by the force and hit hard against the confinement formation in the tent.
Old Gong fell to the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood with a painful look on his face, and subconsciously clenched his fists.
Just as Xu Chunniang was about to stand up, Gong Lao stopped her with a look. He said that he had already implicated her enough, and he should bear the consequences of his insubordination alone.
Luo Jun noticed his little move and sneered playfully, "Are you still not convinced?"
He stood up slowly, paced slowly, walked to Mr. Gong and squatted down, stretched out his index finger to lift Mr. Gong's chin and looked at him carefully, clicked his tongue in disdain, and then stood up.
He said casually while using his spiritual energy to condense a stream of water to wash the index finger that had touched him.
"An earthly immortal like you who has practiced for tens of thousands of years thinks you have some status in the lower three heavens, but in my eyes, you are actually nothing. Do you understand?"
Mr. Gong clenched his fists, lowered his head and said nothing.
He had worked hard in the fairy world for many years and had accumulated many connections, but in the face of absolute strength, all these were in vain.
No one would offend a powerful celestial being for his sake.
Reason told him that at this time, going against Luo Jun would only bring trouble upon himself.
But, he was unwilling to bow his head like this!
If someone slaps you on the left cheek, do you have to lick it and offer your right cheek with a smile
Mr. Gong finally raised his head and looked directly at Luo Jun.
"Commander Luo, I also started as a little Qi training cultivator and have come this far step by step. The Immortal Realm is ruled by the Five Emperors. Karma and retribution are inevitable. The cause you sow today will surely become the evil result that will trap you in the future!"
Luo Jun's expression changed slightly, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he stepped on Old Gong's back, "Are you a mere earthly immortal, and you are worthy of being the evil cause that trapped me?"
The crisp sound of broken bones continued to be heard. Old Gong groaned with a pale face. His back was deformed by being stepped on and he lay powerlessly on the ground.
Xu Chunniang could no longer sit still. The immortal energy around her surged and transformed into three ice cones, which stabbed towards Luo Jun's back.
Luo Jun sneered in his heart, a mere human immortal dared to attack him
He didn't even turn his head or even move his feet. It was as if he had eyes behind him. A crack appeared out of nowhere and swallowed the three ice cones without a trace.
Xu Chunniang's eyes narrowed. Luo Jun, a celestial being, was indeed not easy to deal with.
She attacked again, using the power of the law of space to create a long blade, and slashed towards Luo Jun.
Feeling the power of space contained in the long blade, Luo Jun's expression changed slightly. This immortal was not as useless as he thought.
However, this level of attack is still not enough in front of him.
Luo Jun still didn't look back. The crack behind him slowly expanded and swallowed the long blade.
Xu Chunniang controlled the long blade and disappeared at the edge of the crack. The next moment, when the long blade appeared again, it had already approached Luo Jun's lower back.
In an emergency, Luo Jun quickly condensed a water shield to block the long blade in space.
The long blade collided with the water shield and slowly melted away.
Luo Jun finally withdrew his leg from Gong Lao's back, turned around and looked at Xu Chunniang with admiration in his eyes, "You are very good, are you interested in following me?"
"Sorry, not interested."
Seeing that Xu Chunniang rejected him without a second thought, Luo Jun's face darkened slightly, but he quickly returned to normal and looked at her deeply.
"I've read your resume. You've only been in the Immortal Realm for a few years. Your cultivation has improved so quickly. You must have something extraordinary. It's normal for you to be a little arrogant. If you can survive on the battlefield in a year, you might change your mind."
As he said that, he glanced at Old Gong and said, "Since she is quite capable, I will not take your crime of insubordination seriously this time. Take care of yourself."
After Luo Jun left, Old Gong just got up and the earth immortal who was guarding the two of them came in. It was the one who had a conflict with them last night.
He glanced at the two of them in surprise. "Your punishment has come. Considering that this is your first offense, you will only be assigned to the Zuofeng Army. Commander Luo will show some leniency. I hope you will not be ungrateful."
The Zuo Feng Army sounds nice, but in fact it is just an army composed of human immortals and earthly immortals who have made mistakes. They are responsible for exploring the way before the immortal and demon worlds officially fight, and their mortality rate is high.
Previously, when Mr. Gong learned that he was assigned to the reconnaissance army, he was frowning for a long time. But now that he was assigned to the Zuofeng Army, he did not show any surprise at all, and it was obvious that he had faced the reality.
"Let's go. I'll take you to join the Zuofeng Army, and my mission will be accomplished."
After the earthly immortal delivered the verdict, he walked straight out.
During this period, the attacks of the demon army became more frequent. People who were thrown into the Zuofeng Army generally would not survive for more than three months. However, if they could survive in the Zuofeng Army for more than a year, they would often be noticed by a celestial being and promoted to be a confidant.
Therefore, for the immortals who were charged into the Zuofeng Army, dangers are accompanied by opportunities. As long as they can survive a year, the hard days will be over.
This is also the reason why he restrained his attitude towards the two people. If a year later, these two people were lucky enough to leave Zuo Feng’s army alive, maybe they would have another chance to deal with each other.
Xu Chunniang glanced at the deeply sunken back of Mr. Gong, took out a bottle of pills and handed it to him, "This is the pill I bought at the fighting arena, take some."
Old Gong took the pills, poured out two of them and swallowed them. The burning pain on his back was indeed relieved a lot.
The broken spine healed a lot after he took the medicine.
However, the power of laws left by Luo Jun on him was not completely eliminated.
The two followed the earth immortal who was leading the way. As soon as they entered the camp of the Zuofeng Army, they heard a dull horn sound. Then, the earth-shaking sound of war drums rang out. The battle began again, and several figures flew into the sky from the tents.
The face of the earthly immortal who led the way changed slightly, "The camp of the Zuofeng Army is ahead, you should go and report to the Zuofeng commander Zhao Mengdi, the celestial immortal!"
After saying that, he turned around without hesitation and fled in the direction he came from as fast as possible.
