Jiang Meiyu carefully took out a cultivation pill that exuded rich spiritual energy.
Gently handed it to King Lingquan's mouth.
King Lingquan swallowed it without hesitation.
The pill melted as it entered his throat, transforming into a stream of warm energy that quickly flowed throughout his body.
After a while, the pale face of King Lingquan gradually regained some color.
His frown slowly relaxed and his body felt noticeably better.
At this time, Heili beside him folded his hands respectfully.
He said to King Lingquan with a serious expression:
"Father, the Volcano Clan's massive attack on our Spiritual Spring is likely more than just a simple attempt to seize it. They most likely intend to seize it first and then take over the Salt Lake!"
King Lingquan nodded slightly, expressing his agreement:
"Well, the Volcano Clan has always been ambitious and greedy. They will definitely not be satisfied with just attacking the precious land of Lingquan. They must have a greater conspiracy and intention."
Then, King Lingquan frowned again and added worriedly:
"Furthermore, Chao Tian is a member of the Volcano Royal Family. It is said that his magical powers are unfathomable and difficult to estimate. Add to that the fact that Zi Yue, who came with him, is also quite powerful. The situation we face is quite serious..."
Hearing this, Jiang Meiyu gritted her teeth and said with a guilty look:
"Father, it was my carelessness today that led to this situation. I beg for your punishment. But don't worry, after this lesson, I will not let them gain any advantage in the next battle!"
King Lingquan looked at Jiang Meiyu's determined eyes, nodded and comforted her:
"Yu'er, don't blame yourself. Victory and defeat are common in war. For the time being, you should retreat and rest for a while. Once you've recuperated, we'll take the initiative and attack them. We must not give the enemy any breathing space! After today's fierce battle, our Lingquan soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, over 5,000 dead or wounded. Several places in Lingquan have also suffered varying degrees of damage. It seems that Chaotian is indeed difficult to deal with, but as long as we work together and plan carefully, we will definitely be able to defeat this powerful enemy!"
Heili suddenly broke the silence and said:
"Father, from what I understand, although Chao Tian is a member of the Volcano King's family, he is only respectful to the Volcano King on the surface. Deep down, he harbors ambitions to replace him. In my opinion, we might as well cleverly exploit this weakness and devise a brilliant counter-espionage plan."
Hearing this, Jiang Meiyu couldn't help but look worried. She said anxiously:
"But how could Chaotian trust us so easily? If we end up making things worse, wouldn't that be more trouble than it's worth?"
Hei Li, however, looked confident and responded:
"I will go and meet him in person later. I will definitely find a way to convince him and make him take the bait."
King Lingquan nodded slightly to show his agreement, and at the same time reminded:
"Well, in that case, you can go ahead and give it a try. But remember to be extra careful and don't fall into the enemy's trap."
Jiang Meiyu personally escorted Hei Li out of the palace. She held Hei Li's hand tightly and gave her many instructions:
"My dear husband, this operation is fraught with danger. You must be extremely cautious. If Chao Tian intends to harass you, do not confront him head-on. The best strategy is to return quickly."
Hei Li gazed at Jiang Meiyu affectionately and comforted her gently:
"Don't worry, Yu'er. For you and our child, I will be careful and thorough, and will never put myself in danger."
After saying this, he jumped onto his horse gracefully.
With a wave of the long whip in his hand, the horse galloped away like an arrow.
It disappeared in the vast wilderness in an instant.
Jiang Meiyu stood there quietly.
My eyes always follow the figure that is moving away.
My heart is full of worries and concerns.
"Report... Report to the General!"
A soldier rushed into the tent.
He knelt on one knee and said nervously:
"Salt Lake King Heili is here, and he wants to see you!"
When Chaotian heard this, he couldn't help but feel surprised.
This Heili has always been alone.
Today I came alone to ask for an audience,
It's really puzzling.
However, Chaotian was not afraid.
After all, I have been through many battles,
I've seen all kinds of scenes.
He was just curious about the purpose of Heili's trip.
So he said in a deep voice: "Let him in."
Soon, a tall figure slowly walked into the tent.
This person is none other than the Salt Lake King Heili. His stern face is like an iceberg.
It exudes a chilling majesty.
The volcano soldiers following behind saw this,
They couldn't help but retreat.
Heili walked steadily to Chaotian.
Hold your hands together:
"General Chaotian, I have come here to discuss an important matter with you. I wonder if I can..."
Chaotian understood what Heili meant immediately. He waved his hand decisively, signaling all the surrounding soldiers to leave the tent.
When they were the only two left in the room, Chaotian smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, please take a seat."
Hei Li slowly sat down and said softly:
"General Chaotian is truly a straightforward man! I have actually heard of your legendary tales of bravery and fearlessness long ago. Back when the Volcano King passed on the throne, I was only a child of a few years old. Even so, I sincerely admire your noble character and outstanding military achievements. There was a time when I even firmly believed that you, General Chaotian, would become the next Volcano King, but in the end, the opposite happened..."
