Just having returned to Xiu Yun City, Murong Liao also heard the news spread by Thousand Fragrance City. His face couldn't help but become gloomy.
"Hmph!"
"This arrogant brat!"
"When we trample over Thousand Fragrance City, I will definitely behead him in front of countless people from Li Yang, to show them how the prided Iron Cavalry of Beiliang will be defeated under my Black Cavalry Army!"
Beside him, Chen Ying's face revealed a fierce look.
The few Spirit Sea Realm experts around also had angry expressions on their faces.
When had their Black Cavalry Army suffered such humiliation before?!
"General, give the order!"
"This matter will eventually reach His Majesty's ears. Now, only by destroying Beiliang can we salvage our Black Cavalry Army's reputation!"
The few Spirit Sea Realm experts requested.
Murong Liao's gaze flickered, then he spoke:
"Send men to deliver a war declaration to Beiliang!"
"Seven days later, at Qingshui Plain, we will fight to the death!"
"Also, spread this news out, I want the people of Li Yang to witness with their own eyes how their prided Beiliang Iron Cavalry will be defeated under my Black Cavalry Army!"
"Yes!"
The few Spirit Sea Realm experts retreated to send men to deliver the war declaration to Thousand Fragrance City.
Murong Liao's eyes were filled with killing intent. Seven days was enough time for him to break through the final bottleneck and become a true Returning Void Realm expert.
Seven days later, he would definitely hang the heads of the king and prince of Beiliang on Beiliang's city gates!
"Hand the affairs of the city to you for these few days."
"General, please be at ease to focus on your secluded cultivation."
Murong Liao instructed Chen Ying, then his figure disappeared from the spot...
...
In the governor's residence of Thousand Fragrance City, Li Luo.
At this moment, he was laughing gleefully.
After the news had spread, his system had been ringing nonstop.
Up till now, he had already earned two million prestige points.
He kept staring at the prestige points in the system with a silly smile on his face.
Looking just like a fool.
Just then, a servant rushed anxiously into the backyard.
"Young master, His Highness has ordered me to ask you to go to the city tower."
Li Luo exited from the system, a smile still on his face.
"What's the matter?"
"Replying to the young master, the south has sent men here, they are already outside the city now."
The servant replied.
"The south? The Black Cavalry Army?"
"Yes..."
Hearing the servant's reply, the smile on Li Luo's face completely disappeared.
Could it be that Murong Liao had already come to attack?
"How many men did the other side bring?"
Li Luo asked.
"Not many, only a troop of a hundred and twenty men."
The servant replied.
Hearing that the other side had only sent a hundred and twenty men, Li Luo couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Then, he immediately headed towards the city tower.
At this moment, his father as well as the five generals Long Ye and the rest were there.
Outside the city, a Spirit Sea Realm expert was riding on a warhorse, with a Black Cavalry Army behind him.
Seeing the leading Spirit Sea Realm expert, Li Luo's brows slightly furrowed.
What was Murong Liao playing at, only sending a single Spirit Sea Realm expert here to die?
"Father, who is this?"
"What did Murong Liao send him here to do?!"
Li Luo asked.
"My son, he is one of the Five Great Generals of Nan Yun, Sun Long under Chen Ying."
"As for what he is here to do, your father has also just arrived."
Li Beixiong said with a laugh.
Then, Li Beixiong made a sign to Long Ye beside him.
Long Ye understood, and shouted at Sun Long below:
"You are Chen Ying's subordinate Sun Long right?!"
"What business do you have coming to my Thousand Fragrance City?!"
Sun Long below looked up at the city wall and saw Li Beixiong and Li Luo.
His expression immediately became gloomy, and he took out an envelope from his bosom.
Spirit power enveloped the envelope, then shot towards Li Beixiong.
"Audacious!"
Long Ye was furious, and prepared to immediately go down to kill Sun Long on the spot.
To actually dare to sneak attack their King!
However, just as Long Ye was angered.
Li Beixiong stopped him, and lightly pinched with two fingers to catch the envelope.
The spirit power attached to the envelope instantly dissipated.
Li Luo saw the words "War Declaration" written on the envelope, and immediately understood the other party's intention.
So the other side was here to deliver a war declaration to them!
Li Beixiong opened the envelope, and the words written on the paper were:
"Seven days later, at Qingshui Plain, we will fight to the death!"
The name signed at the bottom was Murong Liao's three big characters.
Li Luo's gaze flickered, and the place Qingshui Plain immediately came to mind.
Qingshui Plain was a plain dozens of miles outside Thousand Fragrance City.
As a battlefield, it was perfect.
This Murong Liao really knew how to pick a location.
The plain could fully display the cavalry's advantages.
This was also exactly what he hoped for.
Li Beixiong flicked his finger, and the war declaration bizarrely ignited and turned into ashes.
"Go back and tell Murong Liao, seven days later, my Beiliang Iron Cavalry will be waiting for him at Qingshui Plain!"
Li Beixiong's gaze was burning as he muttered.
Seeing that the King of Beiliang had accepted the battle, Sun Long did not reply and led the Black Cavalry Army away.
After Sun Long left, Long Ye and the five generals immediately left the city tower to prepare for the battle to the death with Nan Yun.
After everyone had left, only Li Luo and Li Beixiong remained on the city tower.
"My son, tell your father, do you have any methods to deal with that Murong Liao?"
"Could it be that some Returning Void Realm expert has come to pledge allegiance to you?"
After everyone left, Li Beixiong's imposing manner as the ruler completely disappeared. He rubbed his hands and looked at Li Luo while asking.
"Oh father, didn't you agree so readily just now?"
"What is it, are you afraid now?"
Li Luo rolled his eyes at his father and joked.
"Hahaha... Good lad, of course your father isn't afraid!"
"Your father has fought on battlefields for so many years, who have I been afraid of before?"
"But if Murong Liao really has Returning Void Realm cultivation, your father would have to stake this old life in this battle..."
Speaking of staking his life, a trace of murderous aura flashed in Li Beixiong's eyes.
If his good lad didn't have a plan, they might not necessarily be unable to fight Murong Liao.
And his method of blocking Murong Liao was martial souls!
When the time came, the martial souls gathered by the Beiliang army, empowering on just him alone.
With his cultivation at the peak of Spirit Sea Realm, perhaps he could fight a Returning Void Realm expert.
However, there were also great risks in having martial souls empower just one person.
If he lost, the martial souls would be annihilated.
The entire Beiliang Iron Cavalry might also be destroyed from the backlash.
Thus, on the battlefield, unless there was no other choice, martial souls were generally not used to empower the generals.
How could Li Luo not understand his father's meaning?
He lightly smiled and said:
"Father, just rest assured!"
"Murong Liao will have someone to deal with him, you just have to sit on the warhorse with me and wave your hand."
"Hahahaha..."
"My son, with you saying this, your father is relieved!"
"After destroying this bunch of whelps from Nan Yun, we will immediately attack King Wu."
"According to the information scouted by our spies, it seems like King Jin isn't doing well now, with two-thirds of his territory in Nan prefecture occupied by King Wu."
Li Beixiong said.
Li Luo was slightly surprised.
"Is King Wu really so powerful? I thought the disparity between King Wu and King Jin wasn't big?"
Li Beixiong's expression was serious now as he earnestly replied:
"Normally speaking, the disparity between the two is indeed not big..."
"But according to the information our spies found out, it seems like mysterious experts had appeared on King Wu's side on the battlefield!"
"I suspect those mysterious experts by King Wu's side very likely came from the Shenyu Dynasty."
"It's not impossible, since the former King Qi also colluded with the Nan Yun Dynasty back then right?"
"Hmph... Taking advantage of the internal turmoil in our Li Yang, the surrounding dynasties have finally revealed their wolfish ambitions..."
Li Luo's gaze flickered as he coldly laughed.
