Chapter 975: Escorting the Spirit! (Second Update)

The next day, light rain began to fall across all of Xuanjing City.

The misty drizzle—who knows for whom it weeps?

News of General Peng Yuan's passing spread swiftly.

In Xuanjing City, generals were no rarity, and the populace seldom paid them much heed.

But this time, General Peng Yuan held an exceptionally high status in the hearts of Xuanjing's people.

Books seen around the city were tied with white ribbons.

Because a People's Hero Monument stood tall.

Carved upon it were the names of heroes from the founding battles of the nation.

Peng Yuan's name was etched prominently, with five or six lines recording his extraordinary feats.

"At the Battle of Hu Yue Mountain, wielding a single broadsword, he eliminated over two hundred enemy invaders!"

"Commanding at Tianmu River, he defeated Yamamoto Ichiro, then considered Bei Country's strongest captain!"

"..."

There were too many to list.
