Princess Shan Yu's expression changed countless times in the short span of a few seconds.
When Fang Zhengzhi had asked about the 50,000 Demons, she had been rather frustrated. However, when Fang Zhengzhi mentioned the Blood Shadow City...
She was rendered speechless.
As a Princess of the Southern Region and the commander of 80,000 elite soldiers, she knew what it meant.
It was a sword!
A sword with the Southern Region's name on it.
It was just waiting for the opportune moment to strike. For the longest time, the Southern Region had concentrated its soldiers in Nan Ling Settlement.
It was to guard against this sword.
However, ever since the Crown Prince had decided to ally himself with the Demons, the citizens became complacent and forgot about this threat.
