“Even if his army dared to move, with the Young General’s cultivation and divine skills, they might not be able to capture the Young General!”
Wushang was overjoyed to hear Wang Yuan praise him so highly, “Hahaha, elder brother, Little Master Wang Yuan is right, let me go!”
Chen Qing reconsidered several times but ultimately decided against using the Dream Dragon Slaying Skill.
The Water Country had previously used this method to assassinate him, and now using it might be like walking into a trap.
“Uncle Master, may I?”
Li Liufeng thought for a moment, “Let him go. As long as you’re safe, the Water Country wouldn’t dare to openly harm him.”
Chen Qing turned his head and ordered, “Mobilize two hundred Dragon Cavalry to escort Wushang.”
“If he wishes to see me, bring him; if he doesn’t…”
“Do not leave a whole corpse behind.”
Chen Qing sat on the ground, watching as Wushang rode the Qilin, gallantly departing.
“Su Yi, what do you think are our chances of victory, entering the Death Realm to vie for kingship?”

Su Yi hesitated for a moment, “Sixty percent.”
Chen Qing laughed heartily, knowing Su Yi had overestimated.
Even with authority comparable to Gods and Demons, Chen Qing didn’t believe it was sixty percent.
The closer he got to kingship, the more he felt how powerful it truly was.
The Netherworld in the Nine Nether, he still remembered it.
All living beings stepped into death with no way back.
He wondered if Ji Dang faced the same difficulties and obstacles while preparing in Da Yan.
“We are destined to write a truly epic saga with our own blood.”
“I believe there’s a one hundred percent chance of victory.”
“If even I don’t believe we can win, then there’s no point in this war.”
“Prepare to give everything we have.”
Seven days later, Chen Qing received news that Shi Xintie wanted to see him one more time.
Thousands of troops were heading towards Chen Qing, but among them were the two hundred Dragon Cavalry that Wushang had taken.
And on Chen Qing’s side, there were not fewer than two thousand troops.
The moment Shi Xintie saw Chen Qing in person, he panicked and jumped off his horse, running towards Chen Qing.
Chen Qing sat on a wooden chair, positioned on the sunlit side of a hill.
Shi Xintie stumbled his way to Chen Qing, kneeling and saying in panic, “Lord Wei, Lord Wei, I truly have no other intentions!”
Even Chen Qing himself hadn’t expected that his power would reach such heights.
The news of his personal arrival had made Shi Xintie afraid to stir any trouble.
Chen Qing rose angrily, “How can I believe you?”
Shi Xintie said, “Lord Wei, I simply don’t want to enter the Death Realm.”
“I’m not as young as you, my age is catching up with me.”
“As people get older, they yearn for more comfort.”
Chen Qing smiled slightly, “Going to the Death Realm is inevitable for anyone.”
“You have enjoyed the splendor and wealth of being a General of an entire country, and now you tell me you don’t want to go?”
“I know you’re the only one under my command who hasn’t fought beside me on the battlefield, so I can understand some of your thoughts.”
“But among the Generals, Xuan Cuo and Xuan Mang are my brothers, and Lu Shenglong is my most trusted confidant.”
“Even so, among the Generals, I treated you the best, rewarded you the most.”
“No matter what, you shouldn’t defy orders.”
Shi Xintie angrily retorted, “It’s true you treated me the best, but if I hadn’t sided with you back then, would Yan Shiyin have been so resolute in his heart?”
“I deserve all of this!”
Chen Qing stood up, the Dragon Sparrow appearing in his hand, resting his sword while standing.
“I know you’re not convinced, why serve me as your lord instead of raising arms against me to see who the true overlord of Nanli is?”
“Today, I give you this opportunity. You and I shall fight before three thousand soldiers; I will allow you one hand.”
“If you can survive three of my sword strikes, I’ll give you a way to live!”
Shi Xintie glanced at Lu Shenglong, aware of this tale.
In the past, Lu Shenglong had survived three moves from Chen Qing and thus achieved his current status.
Chen Qing turned and placed his left hand behind his back, shouting, “Lu Shenglong, come tie this hand of mine.”
Lu Shenglong obeyed, summoning a Foundation Establishment with the Immortal Rope Gu to bind Chen Qing’s left hand behind him.
Shi Xintie saw Chen Qing was serious, “Lord Wei underestimates me too much!”
Chen Qing reached for his sword, immediately deploying the Fatian Xiangdi, then used the Sumeru Gu, transforming into a one-zhang-high figure.
He held the Dragon Sparrow lightly, and the sky changed, a fierce wind arose.
Black clouds pressed down, the might of the universe weighed on Shi Xintie, making him feel extraordinarily oppressed.
As if the entire world was his enemy, winds and clouds frenzied for ten miles around.
Shi Xintie felt the pressure from Chen Qing growing heavier; he realized Chen Qing was on the verge of reaching the Grandmaster Realm, and he dared not be careless.
His White Bone Dragon Lance appeared in his hand, fully channeling the Spiritual Energy to protect his body.
In an instant, Chen Qing swung his sword, no longer as disorderly as before; this stroke merged with the might of the universe, integrating completely.
This sword had been nurtured in its sheath for a year, becoming the Sword Drawing Skill!
In the past, the second-generation patriarch of Hidden Sword Mountain roamed the world with this sword; today, it sees the light of day again!
The unstoppable sword momentum erupted on Chen Qing’s body.
It was as if the most dazzling sword light from thousands of years ago reappeared in the world; Chen Qing drew his sword, unleashing a single strike.
Though seemingly simple, it contained his peak Sword Intent.
Shi Xintie attempted to block but was suffocated by the sword’s momentum.
He raised his White Bone Dragon Lance to block the strike, only to find the incredibly tenacious lance was severed in two by the sword.
Blood sprayed, and a head fell.
Chen Qing sheathed his sword, the sky clear and calm, and the wind stopped.
Shi Xintie’s expression froze in that final moment.
His eyes were full of confusion and despair.
More than three thousand soldiers stood in shock at the sight before them, with only Chen Qing’s faint words lingering in the air.
“You can’t withstand even a single sword strike, and you think you can contend with me?”
Lu Shenglong’s face was pale, recalling that day, breaking into a cold sweat.
For several tens of breaths, silence reigned until the soldiers’ shouts once again echoed through the heavens and earth, “Lord Wei, divine power is unrivaled!”
“Lord Wei, divine power!”
…
Chen Qing sat back down, commanding, “Order the entire Li Bingwei army to withdraw from the Water Country. In the Jiuli, I do not want the Foundation Establishment of this country.”
“If they are unwilling to follow me, I won’t force them; let them fend for themselves.”
“Leave!”
The foundation of a country was not something he could shake now.
That had to wait until he returned from the Death Realm.
In the carriage on the return journey, Chen Qing and Su Yi sat at a table, dining.
Chen Qing picked up his bowl of rice, eating a piece of green vegetable, “Su Yi, if I lead the army into the Death Realm, who can preside over the mortal realm?”
Su Yi set down his rice bowl, contemplating briefly, “The lady might preside, though it’s unfortunate she lacks the prestige to control the entire situation.”
“In terms of prestige, the Young General carrying the King Gu would surely command respect.”
“However, the Young General’s temper might lead to impulsive actions.”
“If any unfavorable news about us in the Death Realm reaches him, the Young General might lead troops to support us.”
Chen Qing deliberated once more, “The brutality of the Death Realm war is bound to be a one in a million survival, if not absolute death.”
“In such circumstances, to continue drawing troops from Nanli, Xuanping must stay.”
“With her presence, morale can be maintained.”
“Wushang must also stay; only with him can potential troublemakers be deterred.”
“In this case, those who can accompany me into the Death Realm and be independent are few.”
Su Yi said, “It’s an unavoidable situation.”
“We didn’t receive support from those in the Ten Thousand Years Major Sect or from the kings who sit watching.”
“Ensuring the peace in the mortal realm during our journey into the Death Realm is already quite challenging.”
Chen Qing sighed, “Then it depends on whether, in the remaining years, there will emerge any individual talents capable of handling one side.”
Chen Qing reached out, lifting the curtain, looking at the vast land and distant sky.
Presently, the potential for war in Nanli and its heroes had been completely exhausted by him. What remained was to see if Fu Luo, Yao Feng, and Red Lotus could provide him with some surprises.
