Somewhere in the Celestial Palace, Commander Du approached the throne, where a tall, handsome man sat.
Standing on both sides of Commander Du in the room were ten other individuals, each of them a Squad Commanders for Heaven's Mandate. Since there were thirteen squads in total, two commanders were missing.
The commander for the Elite Squad, which was a regular occurrence, and the commander of the Sixth Squad, who was killed in action recently and hadn't been replaced yet.
"Now, tell me everything that happened and why you decided to retreat," said the Celestial Emperor.
Commander Du lowered his head in shame as he recalled the events that happened between Yuan and his Second Squad.
"When we arrived at the location, the Sixth Squad was gone, and the only person waiting for us there was an unknown man with only a cultivation at the True Immortal realm. We questioned him about the Sixth Squad's situation, and he implied that he had killed them all."
