The remaining one layperson was the strongest among these three, as he was in the Middle Stage of Gang Condensing Realm.
He was once a general of the Liang Kingdom, and after its downfall, he submitted to Li Xuanji.
He instructed these three to explore the items within the valley for him.
"First, do not go deep into the valley; outside the valley, see if you can disperse the thick fog, and then set fire to burn the trees in the valley to see what happens."
Li Xuanji feared he wouldn't survive if he went himself, so he didn't dare to command at the site and could only share his ideas with these three.
These three listened and agreed, then left the Imperial Palace.
...
Half a day later, these three brought a troop of a thousand soldiers and arrived before the valley once again.
Residents from small towns near the valley saw the arrival of another army and couldn't help pointing and whispering.
"They're back again!"
"Aren't they afraid of dying?"
