"General Lu, now that things here have been dealt with, I will take my junior brother to the imperial capital first. We will meet there later."
Zhang Tianhao saw Cai Wankun returning, and then he took Cai Wankun and flew away. This made Lu Fan stunned in place, and he spoke after a long time.
"Well, can you give me a ride?"
It’s just that Zhang Tianhao didn’t hear it and shook his head. Lu Fan looked at the battlefield again and saw that the soldiers of his Tianling Dynasty had expressions of surviving a disaster on their faces and shouted that the immortal was awesome.
His two confidants walked over quickly, looked at Lu Fan and said excitedly.
"General Lu, did you see what happened just now? It was the immortals who helped us!"
Looking at the excitement of his confidant in front of him, Lu Fan did not say anything in the end. After all, since His Highness chose to leave now, he probably did not want others to know his identity as an immortal for the time being.
So Lu Fan nodded, but his expression was still very serious.
"Although we defeated the Wanfeng Dynasty's army for the first time, it was due to the help of the immortals, not our fault. We still need to work hard to become stronger. Also, be careful. The Wanfeng Dynasty will not give up because of a single failure, so we must be careful."
Upon hearing this, the excitement of the two deputy generals disappeared, and they nodded in agreement with serious expressions.
At this moment on the road, Cai Wankun's heart was filled with excitement. Just from the attack he had just made, his righteous energy had doubled in strength, which meant that his cultivation speed had doubled.
Thinking of this, Cai Wankun looked at Zhang Tianhao and said seriously.
"Brother, if there is a similar situation in the future, please let me take action."
"Um."
Zhang Tianhao nodded solemnly, not knowing what he was thinking. Then he thought of something else, looked at Cai Wankun and asked.
"Junior brother, when you made your move just now, did you notice anything wrong with the soldiers of the Wanfeng Dynasty?"
Hearing this, Cai Wankun thought about it carefully and said seriously.
"I've noticed that the soldiers of the Wanfeng Dynasty seem to possess a power that is completely opposite to my righteous spirit. I think it must be the demonic energy that Master mentioned."
"So I'm afraid there are demonic cultivators within the Wanfeng Dynasty. However, there's no need to worry too much. Judging from the current situation, the demonic cultivators behind the Wanfeng Dynasty won't be that powerful. After all, the strength of those soldiers is at best equivalent to the early stages of Qi Refining."
Zhang Tianhao nodded. In this situation, his junior fellow apprentice could easily handle it, let alone himself. If things really got out of hand, he could ask Senior Qin for help.
However, if Qin Shaolong knew about this, he would probably curse. After all, asking him to attack the demon cultivators in a mere small world is like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito.
Demon Cultivator: I'm fighting a mid-stage Divine Lord? Seriously? I guarantee he'll die.
At the same time, in the forbidden area of the Wanfeng Dynasty, a figure wrapped in thick demonic energy couldn't help but shudder, as if he was being targeted by something.
But he didn't think much about it. Could there be any trouble in this soulless place?
After turning around, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe and with the aura of a superior looking at him, his brows furrowed.
"Emissary, you said that conquering the Tianling Dynasty would allow me to break through to the Golden Core Stage. Is this true?"
"Of course. If you want to break through to the Tianling Dynasty, you can't cultivate in this soulless land unless you rely on the immense power of blood and energy."
The demon cultivator snorted coldly and said that if the person in front of him was not still useful, he would have killed him long ago.
Upon hearing this, the Emperor of the Wanfeng Dynasty, Li Changsheng, looked extremely solemn and nodded.
"I will have my men move faster and take down the Tianling Dynasty within half a month."
"You'd better hurry. We don't have much time left. In five years, the Soulless Land will be cleansed. If you want to leave, you'd better gain the power to match it before then."
After the demon cultivator finished speaking, he disappeared from Li Changsheng's sight without waiting for Li Changsheng to ask any further questions.
After the evil cultivator left, a fierce look flashed across Li Changsheng's brows.
"No matter who you are, if you want to kill me, I will make you suffer even if I die."
"As for you, Zhang Yu, I want to become stronger, so I'm sorry."
After saying that, Li Changsheng waved his sleeves and turned to leave.
Not far away, the demon cultivator silently watched Li Changsheng's receding back and sneered.
"You are nothing more than a puppet. I will send you on your way once I have accomplished my purpose. However, time is running out. In about five years, the upper realm will settle accounts with the Soulless Land. I must break through to the Saint level as soon as possible."
…
"Your Majesty, one hundred thousand troops were defeated on the northwest border, and General Yu was killed in action!"
"Your Majesty, the 70,000-strong army on the southwest border has been defeated, and the army is advancing towards our imperial capital!"
"Your Majesty, we've lost contact with the 50,000-man army on the western border. The battle situation is unknown!"
Listening to his subordinates' anxious reports, Zhang Yu's expression became extremely ugly, and coupled with his white hair, it made people feel pity when they saw him.
The ministers below were now as anxious as ants on a hot pan, and they spoke quickly.
"Your Majesty, we should surrender as soon as possible. With the current strength of our Tianling Dynasty, it is obvious that we are no match for the Wanfeng Dynasty."
"Yes, Your Majesty, surrender is not a bad thing. Given Your Majesty's relationship with the Emperor of the Wanfeng Dynasty, as long as we surrender and give up some territory, our Tianling Dynasty can still survive."
"Your Majesty, the Wanfeng Dynasty seems to be assisted by immortals. Our soldiers are no match for them."
"Shut up, everyone! I haven't even spoken yet, or are you planning to step in and make decisions for me?"
Zhang Yu stood up suddenly, and his voice was like a rolling bell, which made everyone present tremble in their hearts and shut up involuntarily.
After a long time, Zhang Yu sighed and said with helplessness in his tone.
"You can't fail to see, right? Judging from the Wanfeng Dynasty's current posture, it's obvious that they want to annex our Tianling Dynasty. Even if we surrender, I don't think the Wanfeng Dynasty will spare us. We might as well fight to the death and gain a glimmer of hope."
However, after hearing Zhang Yu's words, everyone at the scene did not think that their Tianling Dynasty had a chance of winning. They were all thinking about whether they should just resign and return home. After all, if they stayed here, they would die, but if they resigned, they might not die.
But at this moment, a eunuch came quickly from outside and said excitedly.
"Your Majesty, good news, great news! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not dead and is back now!"
