rd rank were not qualified to toast Li Chen directly. For officials below the second rank, Li Chen would only touch his cup of wine lightly, but this was already a great honor.While the Xi dynasty emb...Chapter 1503: It Will Cost Many Lives

"It was not as the prince had thought."

Yuan Shidao saw Yelu Shenxuan's suspicion and took the initiative to explain: "I was stopped by a land immortal on the way there. At first, he spoke kindly and did not mean to attack."

"But the other party was far too strong for me. I didn't realize he was a land immortal until I tried to force my way in, and was then driven back."

"It's just that the other party didn't have any ill intentions, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back."

Yuan Shidao embellished the events to some extent.

After all, this involved Master Brother Wanyan Zhai Dao, so Shi Dao Yuan did not intend to tell everything.

This explanation was sufficient for Yelu Shenxuan.

"I see."

Yelü Shenxuan frowned and said, "Then sir, why would the other party help Li Chen"

Perhaps it was because we were both from Qin, or maybe because we knew each other before. I'm not sure, but what I can confirm is that this Earth Immortal wasn't Li Chen's.

With a gentle nod, Yelü Shenxuan remained composed and said calmly, "Is the Master's injury serious"

Yuan Shi Dao chuckled bitterly: "I'm afraid that in a short time, he will lose his combat effectiveness and need to recuperate for a month or so."

At this, Yelu Shenxuan's mood worsened even further.

As the decisive battle approached, Yuan Shiduo, due to his own rashness and impulsiveness, had lost his combat effectiveness.

At such times, high-level combat power serves as the foundation for his safety, especially when it is known that an opponent possesses a Land Immortal who could strike at any moment.

It's just that Yelu Shenxuan was deeply scheming and didn't show this anger. He knew that saying anything at this time would be useless and would only completely infuriate Yuan Shidao, causing him to be disloyal.

"Well then, sir, please take good care of your health. It's important to stay well and avoid any lingering illnesses that could affect your future."

Yeh Lu Shen Xuan's words warmed Yuan Shi Dao's heart. He cupped his hands and said, "I was indeed rash in this trip. Your Highness not bearing a grudge, I am deeply grateful."

"Alright, you and I are ruler and minister, there's no need for so many polite words. Return to the military camp, discussing the matters of the final battle is what's important."

After Yelu Shenxuan finished speaking, he immediately set off.

At this moment, under the city gate of Yueya Pass, Li Chen sees off Huangji Tian.

Tonight, when I meet with Yelü Shenxuan, I will be certain of one thing.

Li Chen paused his words, and Huangji Tian met his gaze before continuing, "Yelü Shenxuan is going to launch a decisive battle."

Li Chen smiled and said, "You and I went together."

Huangji Tian Leng smiled and said, "With Yelu Shenxuan's personality, if he wasn't determined to take down Yueya Pass completely, he wouldn't come out for a late-night inspection. He feels that he already has the upper hand and won't lose, so he came to inspect his territory in advance."

"After I return, I will immediately reorganize the army."

The last sentence is what Li Chen truly wanted to hear.

"If Your Highness wishes to put on a show, then to deceive Yelu Shenxuan, it must be convincing enough. Just an empty city won't fool him." Huangji Tian reminded.

Li Chen frowned slightly, pondered for a long time, and then said: "It will still take many lives."

Seeing that Li Chen understood, Huangji Tian no longer said anything. He took a step back, bowed to Li Chen, then flipped onto his horse and quickly rode away.

Li Chen stood still, watching the figure of Huangji Tian disappear into the night. He remained motionless for a long time.

Until Wu Qingcang walked up to him and whispered, "Your Highness, the generals strongly object to Your Highness abandoning Yueya Pass."emblingly saying: "Your humble servant, Zheng Baorong, greets His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince."As soon as Zheng Baorong arrived at Guanhai Academy, he was told that the person who would be asking...
