The mention of the 'Divine One' made the vice commander unhappy. The rest of the soldiers didn't know what these words meant, but who knew the death of the great general knows this too well. That the soul that is currently residing inside the great general is someone else and most probably the Divine One, these cultivators had been looking for.
He was not afraid of the Divine One from their side to leave. If he had wanted to leave, he could have abandoned them and this fortress and do whatever he wanted after he is a God and no mortal or even cultivators are capable of restraining him.
The righteous cultivators glare at the human soldiers, they couldn't believe that the one they are looking for is on the side of these mortals who were so useless in their eyes. It's no wonder the soldiers in this region are almost fearless. It was not because of their great general, but because of the hidden divine one in their fortress.
