It was a dark and windy night. A million strong army holding torches marched hastily.
The bright torchlight illuminated the land for miles.
At this time, King Wu was leading the army, marching on the road to the Imperial Capital.
"Halt!"
Just then, King Wu and four other powerful experts from the Shenyu Dynasty suddenly sensed something amiss.
King Wu promptly ordered the army to stop marching.
"Father, what's the matter?"
Zhao Fengyun, riding on a horseback, asked in puzzlement.
King Wu and the four powerful experts from Shenyu did not speak, their eyes narrowed, staring intently at the darkness ahead on the road.
Suddenly, a figure slowly walked out from the darkness.
At the same time, everyone looked up.
Somehow, the bright moon hanging high in the night sky was shrouded by a massive black cloud.
It looked like a cloud, but for some reason, it made everyone feel more like a huge mass of black fog.
"Who's there!"
"Get lost immediately!"
Seeing the figure suddenly appearing ahead and blocking the middle of the road, Zhao Fengyun was startled for a moment and subconsciously shouted harshly.
King Wu and the others looked around with solemn expressions.
For this person to appear here in the nearby barren hills and wild ridges, he must be here for them.
Thus, a tremendous spiritual sense burst out from King Wu and the four powerful Shenyu experts, instantly enveloping the nearby mountains and forests.
Yet they still found nothing.
King Wu turned his gaze to the figure slowly emerging from the darkness ahead, and sent out his spiritual sense towards him.
In his perception, the figure gradually appearing before him had no spiritual power fluctuations at all.
But still, the ever-cautious King Wu involuntarily mobilized the tremendous spiritual power within him.
If this young man made any unusual moves, he would instantly take action to kill him.
"Hehe..."
"King Wu, where are you leading the army to in such a hurry?" A laugh sounded, putting everyone on high alert.
Under everyone's gaze, a very young and handsome youth in white clothes slowly walked out from the darkness.
King Wu circulated his spiritual power, staring intently at the youth who had suddenly appeared before him.
From the youth's words just now, he was obviously here for them.
Although the young man before him behaved bizarrely and had no spiritual power fluctuations at all, the always cautious King Wu still could not let his guard down. His eyes narrowed as he stared intently at the youth.
"Boy, acting so mysteriously, are you looking to die?!"
"Get lost!"
"Otherwise, my horse's hooves will trample over you!"
Seeing that it was just a boy even younger than himself, Zhao Fengyun was instantly furious, not taking the person before him seriously at all.
Just as Zhao Fengyun was about to continue marching, King Wu waved his hand to indicate no rush.
The young man before them was too bizarre, too calm and unperturbed!
Facing their million-strong army, he was still completely nonchalant and unconcerned.
This person must not be ordinary.
"Who are you?"
"Why did you appear here and block this king's path?"
King Wu's gaze condensed slightly as he spoke in a deep voice.
The youth in white smiled casually.
"King Wu, let me introduce myself!"
"I am Li Luo, my father is Li Beixiong!"
"What?!"
"You are the Crown Prince of Beiliang, Li Luo?!"
Hearing the three words Li Beixiong, everyone was greatly shocked.
Zhao Fengyun looked at Li Luo in utter disbelief and exclaimed involuntarily.
He would never have imagined that the young man who had suddenly jumped out to block their path was actually the son of the King of Beiliang!
The Crown Prince of Beiliang!
The soldiers behind King Wu also had solemn expressions now, becoming vigilant.
They kept observing their surroundings, fearing there were ambushing Beiliang cavalry nearby.
When King Wu learned of Li Luo's identity, his pupils also contracted as tremendous power instantly erupted from him.
His spiritual sense, like ripples in water, spread out once more.
After confirming multiple times that there were no Beiliang cavalry nearby, King Wu couldn't help but feel puzzled.
He even somewhat doubted Li Luo's identity.
Everyone knew that Li Beixiong doted on Li Luo extremely, protecting him zealously.
How could he allow Li Luo to appear alone here?!
Although he had seen Li Luo before, that was when he was a child.
He had never seen Li Luo's grown up appearance.
Li Luo seemed to perceive King Wu's doubts.
Indeed, when Li Luo was four or five years old, his father had brought him to the Imperial Capital once to meet the old emperor.
At that time, King Wu had seen him before.
After that, he had been staying in Beiliang City until now.
So King Wu's memories of him were still of his childhood appearance.
Naturally he could not recognize Li Luo now.
However, with the memories of his previous life, Li Luo recognized King Wu at a single glance.
"Hehe..."
"King Wu, there is no need to doubt my identity. More than ten years ago in the Imperial Capital, I remember you holding me before."
"At that time, the previous emperor even rewarded me with a spirit jade."
"It's just that after I returned to Beiliang, I threw that spirit jade to feed the fish..."
Li Luo smiled lightly, as if to remind King Wu.
Upon hearing this, King Wu's pupils instantly contracted.
At this moment, he was certain that the young man before him was Li Luo!
Because he did hold Li Luo before.
And because Li Luo was Li Beixiong's only son, the previous Emperor Qin Yue had indeed rewarded him with a spirit jade back then.
He did not expect that Li Luo would actually still remember it!
After confirming that the person before him was undoubtedly Li Luo, King Wu became even more puzzled!
How could Li Beixiong dare to let Li Luo appear here?!
Was he not afraid that he would hold Li Luo hostage, and threaten Li Beixiong with him?!
Or could it be...
Li Beixiong was already lying in ambush nearby...
King Wu pondered for a moment, staring at Li Luo and said solemnly:
"I heard that your father king has already led his army straight to the Imperial Capital. Why are you here?"
Everyone's gaze converged on Li Luo.
Li Luo smiled and still had a carefree look. He then said:
"I, the Crown Prince, appeared here of course to borrow something from you, King Wu."
"Oh?"
"Borrow something from me?"
"What is it?"
King Wu subconsciously asked.
"Your head!" Li Luo laughed.
Hearing this, King Wu's expression instantly turned gloomy, and a terrifying aura instantly swept towards Li Luo...
