"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.
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ... "Hypnosis? Oh, it succeeded, my dear Master." "Only this time, it's my turn to hypnotize you."
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
