The Baihu Corps, under Ran Tu's command, arrives at Ice Extreme Pass and impresses the local officers with their superior organization and combat readiness. Qin Tian welcomes them, emphasizing cooperation. Later, Qin Tian discusses the rapid development of Ice Extreme Pass with Ran Tu, who is impressed by the progress and Qin Tian's potential. A report on the spoils of war from the recent battle is presented, and Qin Tian plans to travel to the Royal Star.

Royal Star, Eastern Emperor Continent’s Stargate Transit Station.

The silver-white stargate’s light gradually dimmed, and a tall figure stepped out, the golden star on the military uniform’s epaulet sparkling under the lights.

Seeing this, the soldiers guarding the stargate immediately raised their hands, saluting crisply and in unison, "General Qin!"

Qin Tian nodded slightly in return, his gaze scanning the assembled soldiers, and asked, "Has Major General Yang Yuting arrived?"

A soldier in the front row of the team stepped forward: "Reporting to the general, Major General Yang is waiting for you in lounge D26."

"Alright, please lead the way to him."

"Yes!"

Walking through the clean and solemn corridor, Qin Tian quickly arrived at the door of room D26.

He raised his hand and pressed the doorbell, and as the crisp sound fell, the door opened in response.

A man in his early thirties stood behind the door, with a rugged and resolute face, his taut black military uniform accentuating his upright posture.

Upon seeing Qin Tian, he immediately raised his hand in a standard salute.

"General Qin!"

"Major General Yang."

Qin Tian returned the salute, then stepped into the room.

The accompanying soldiers wisely closed the door gently, leaving space for the two men.

"Major General Yang, are you also part of the Seventh Bureau?"

Qin Tian glanced around the room, then looked at Yang Yuting and asked with a smile.

"General, I have been serving in the Seventh Bureau since graduating from the military academy, for fifteen years now," Yang Yuting replied.

Fifteen years.

Qin Tian quietly marveled; this experience was much more extensive than his own.

For someone in their thirties to be promoted to major general, their career had indeed been smooth sailing.

But he understood that, with the intelligence work nature of the Seventh Bureau, early promotions were naturally faster than the frontline troops, but breaking through to major general and becoming a senior officer was far more challenging than in other branches.

He himself had been exceptionally promoted to major general thanks to the great achievement of sealing a spatial portal in the Demon Suppression Abyss, sparing the Azure Wood Star Realm from catastrophe — a special commendation from the military department.

In the absence of special opportunities, Yang Yuting might have to endure many more years before joining the ranks of senior officers.

"Major General Yang, for this mission, what instructions did General Yang Zheng give you?" Qin Tian shifted to the main topic.

Yang Yuting responded seriously, "The leader only told me to escort some important individuals, but their specific identities were not disclosed."

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian’s lips curled into a smile: "It seems General Yang trusts you greatly, to send you alone to escort Tier Seven Beastman royalty."

Tier Seven Beastman royalty!

Yang Yuting’s entire body shook; he hadn’t expected the escort target to be of such magnitude!

Lately, the Empire was negotiating with the Beastman Delegation; could this Beastman royalty be critical to the negotiations between the two nations?

Countless thoughts raced through his mind, and Yang Yuting’s expression became extremely serious in an instant.

"Alright, let me introduce you to them," Qin Tian said, no longer speaking further, waving his large hand.

Buzz—

Slight fluctuations of spatial energy occurred, and suddenly, a dozen figures appeared on the open space in the center of the room, caught within the mirror seal — it was Unol and the accompanying Beastman guards.

Yang Yuting’s gaze was instantly riveted on one of the figures

Svelte, with translucent butterfly wings on his back, and skin faintly veined with frost

This is from the Eternal Ice Silkworm clan!

He quickly glanced over the other Beastmen, noticing they were all in deep comas, eyes tightly shut, faces pale and weak.

"Major General Yang, I’ll leave these Beastmen to you," Qin Tian said, "Rest assured, I have already taken precautions with them, and there is no chance of them waking anytime soon."

Regarding Unol’s situation, he had already communicated with Yang Zheng in advance.

Yang Zheng placed great importance on this matter, not only approving his personal application to escort the detainees to Royal Star but also specially deploying the Seventh Bureau’s capable officer Yang Yuting to send the personnel to the Seventh Bureau’s secret base.

This special mission was precisely what allowed him to exceptionally enter Royal Star.

Otherwise, according to Royal Army regulations, a Guardian Envoy cannot leave their post without a superior’s summons.

"Please rest assured, General! Yang Yuting assures you the task will be completed!"

Yang Yuting solemnly saluted again.

With those words, he crouched down and was the first to press his palm onto Unol.

In the next moment, black crystals slowly welled from his palm, quickly spreading as if they were alive. In just a dozen seconds, they wrapped around Unol’s entire body, transforming into a lifelike black crystal sculpture.

Subsequently, more black crystals flowed from Yang Yuting’s palm, similarly sealing the remaining Beastmen within black crystal.

However, compared to sealing Unol, sealing the other Beastmen was evidently much easier, and the speed was noticeably faster.

Qin Tian sat on the sofa watching this scene, his brows slightly raised.

It’s actually a crystal sealing ability!

No wonder General Yang specifically dispatched Yang Yuting to escort Unol — this sealing method is indeed the optimal choice for escorting high-value targets.

Crystal...

This word acted like a key, instantly unlocking a floodgate of Qin Tian’s memories, bringing back an incident he had long forgotten.

That was when he first entered the Eagle Military Academy, participating in a trial mission organized by the school.

In that mission, he killed several vampires and acquired the Night Demon bloodline through talent synthesis

Aside from that, he also accidentally obtained a piece of amber — within the amber, the essence blood of an Ancient Giant Beast was sealed.

It was also because of this piece of amber that he offended the Wen family, then the ruling family on the continent, leading to a series of events such as the Mist Town incident and the Evil God Sacrifice.

After these events settled down, he tried various methods to break the amber to extract the Ancient Giant Beast’s essence blood, including using spatial abilities to extract it, but all attempts ended in failure.
