"Father, since King Wu has made a move against us, we should hasten our steps to unify Liyang!" Li Luo looked at Ji Dong's corpse on the ground, raised his head to gaze at the starry night sky, and murmured.
Ever since his state of mind became enlightened, he no longer had any reservations.
The people of the present Liyang dynasty could no longer withstand the ravages of war.
If this continued, even if Beiliang eventually unified Liyang, what they would inherit would be a Liyang full of wounds and scars.
"Hahaha..."
"Good!"
"My son, your father has been waiting for you to say that!"
"Your father will go raise an army right away!"
When he learned that Li Luo intended to unify Liyang tonight, Li Beixiong was overjoyed.
Li Luo smiled and continued,
"Father, you lead the Beiliang Iron Cavalry straight to the imperial capital. I will have Gao Shun and the Yan Yun Eighteen Riders follow you."
"As for King Wu, leave him to me. I will take Luo Yi and the others straight to King Wu, who is stationed in Nan Prefecture."
"After I defeat King Wu, I will immediately rush to meet up with you."
"Ah?"
"My son, shouldn't you take some troops with you?"
"That old thing King Wu has formidable forces, with millions of soldiers under his command..."
Li Beixiong couldn't help but worry when he heard that his beloved eldest son was going to charge into King Wu's territory with just a handful of men.
"Father, do you think there is anyone in Liyang who can still stand against us?"
Li Luo joked.
Only then did Li Beixiong remember that his beloved eldest son and Luo Yi and the others were all experts at the Returning Void Realm.
Indeed, there was no one in the entire Liyang who could injure them.
He was just being paranoid due to concern.
"Oh my, look at your father's muddled mind!"
"Alright, your father will wait for you in the imperial capital!"
"My son, although your abilities now surpass your father's, still be cautious."
"That old rascal King Wu is crafty!"
Li Beixiong did not forget to admonish him.
Then he turned and excitedly put on his battle robe, summoned the five generals Long Ye and others, and assembled the troops...
Watching his father's fiery back as he left, and recalling his father's meticulous care for him, a warm current flowed through Li Luo's heart.
"Father...don't worry!"
"Liyang will surely become our world, no one can snatch it from us!"
Li Luo smiled faintly, then silently left Thousand Fragrance City with Luo Yi, Zhao Dezhu, Bai Wuchang, and the Earth God, heading straight for Nan Prefecture.
As for Fang Xuanling, Li Luo arranged for him to be by his father's side, to protect him in case of any unexpected events.
Within Thousand Fragrance City, the Beiliang Iron Cavalry surged out like a tidal wave, battle flags fluttering, rushing out of the city gates under Li Beixiong's lead, marching towards the imperial capital.
The mighty momentum shocked countless citizens within the city.
They walked out of their homes one after another, watching the departing Beiliang Iron Cavalry.
"Wow... Why is our Beiliang Iron Cavalry mobilizing again in the dead of night?"
"King Wu must have attacked!"
"Now in our Liyang dynasty, only the Prince and King Wu are left fighting over the realm."
"Sigh... I hope the Prince and the Crown Prince can defeat King Wu soon, overthrow the incompetent court, and end this war..."
"You're right, I definitely support the Prince establishing a new dynasty!"
"Yes, we all support the Prince and the Crown Prince!"
"..."
On top of the city gate, Liu Heng and Liu Lingxi watched the endless stream of iron cavalry rushing out of the city gates.
Liu Lingxi's gaze continuously searched for something among the cavalry.
But that figure she wanted to find still didn't appear even after the entire iron cavalry had left the city gates.
Sensing his daughter's abnormal mood, Liu Heng stroked his beard and joked,
"My daughter!"
"The Crown Prince already left Thousand Fragrance City long ago."
Upon hearing this, Liu Lingxi was startled, and a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.
This fool...
He left without even saying goodbye to me...
She would never forget,
That day, when the Black Cavalry Army was at the city gates,
At that critical moment, Li Luo led 100,000 Beiliang Iron Cavalry, like heavenly soldiers descending, rescuing the countless people of Thousand Fragrance City.
It was from that time,
That Li Luo's godlike heroic spirit was deeply imprinted in her mind, lingering continuously...
Seeing his daughter remain silent, Liu Heng sighed and said,
"Sigh..."
"Since my daughter does not like this marriage arrangement, then next time I see the Prince, I will call off the engagement for him..."
"No..."
Hearing her father wanted to cancel her engagement to Li Luo, even with Liu Lingxi's state of mind, she instantly became agitated.
But Liu Lingxi realized her father was just teasing her.
Her face flushed red as she candidly admitted,
"Father, your daughter does like the Crown Prince!"
"But the Crown Prince seems to have no feelings for your daughter..."
As she spoke, a dim look flashed in Liu Lingxi's eyes.
She didn't know what kind of extraordinary woman it would take to capture the Crown Prince's heart.
Liu Heng sighed, then gazed at the starry sky and slowly said,
"My daughter, the Crown Prince is a hidden dragon about to soar into the heavens, a man with the bearing of an emperor."
"Ordinary beauties cannot enter the Crown Prince's discerning eyes."
"But don't underestimate yourself. With your knowledge and insights, you certainly have the qualifications to become the Crown Prince's worthy wife..."
"It's just that the Crown Prince has interacted with you too little, and does not know you well..."
"After tonight, if the Prince ultimately settles the dust and becomes the ruler of Liyang in one fell swoop, you should go to the imperial capital and spend more time with the Crown Prince..."
"Mm..."
Liu Lingxi looked up at the sea of stars, a worried look flashing in her eyes.
She knew that in Liyang to come, slaughter was destined.
She was well aware of the Crown Prince's formidable strength.
But still couldn't help worrying for his safety.
She silently prayed in her heart for Li Luo...
...
The news of the large-scale mobilization of the Beiliang Iron Cavalry spread throughout Western Province in an instant.
Countless people watched the movements of the Beiliang Iron Cavalry closely.
At the same time, King Wu, stationed in Nan Prefecture, also received news of the Beiliang Iron Cavalry's actions at the first moment.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow.

While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

The False Prince: "Although I am not the biological son, Father and Mother love me more. The throne should be mine!" The Female Lead: "Qin Xiao, you are the Emperor, and I am a commoner. If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well! So this is how you want to play? Facing this twisted world of female-oriented tropes, Qin Xiao grins and raises his hand to unleash—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! I am the Emperor. Why would I bother reasoning with you? Seal the gates! Leave none alive!
