The many Grandmasters of the Creation Realm all headed towards the Baoxue Empire.
Uther was determined to gather all the Creation Realm experts to capture the King of the Secret Realm...
Unfortunately, he missed a crucial point.
The identity of the King of the Secret Realm made his so-called flawless plan instantly riddled with flaws.
At this mont.
Xu Lingjun had also returned to the Imperial Capital, bringing Wang Qingya back with him.
After all, the Secret Realm would beco the main battlefield, and Li Jingjun was different—she was also a warrior and would naturally accompany Xu Lingjun to fight on the front lines.
But Wang Qingya’s presence would only distract Xu Lingjun.
Wang Qingya clearly understood this too... knowing that staying in the rear would provide Xu Lingjun with the greatest support.
Xu Lingjun didn’t linger long in the villa; even when facing Su Huanqing, whom he hadn’t seen for several days, he only had ti to give her a hug.
Then he hurriedly left again...
"It feels like Xiaojun is getting busier and busier."
Su Huanqing felt a bit lancholic, or perhaps pitying.
She sighed softly, "I still rember the first ti I saw him, the bright light in his eyes... it felt like he wanted to challenge the entire world, yet now I only see him rushing around every day, worrying about sothing."
"It’s the price of growth, I suppose."
Wang Qingya said softly, "He used to be just a child, so he didn’t have to think about anything. Now that he’s grown up, he has to think about everything... even his father can no longer help him much, he’s left to rely on himself."
anwhile.
Within the Imperial Palace.
"Thank you, Commander in Chief Xu!"
Han Qingxue stared fixedly at Xu Lingjun, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
He was the person she once admired and also the one she had once sched against...
Yet now, in just a few short years.
His status was so high that it even surpassed hers as a Princess, reaching the point where he could influence Great Xia with a single word.
At the very least, her father Han Xu Yang had once said to her...
Xu Lingjun was a pillar of the nation, the spiritual backbone of the Polar Star Battlefield.
The current Great Xia Empire’s royal succession was no longer decided by him, Han Xu Yang.
Whoever could gain Xu Lingjun’s support could gain the throne.
Unfortunately...
He was never hers.
The friendship of n... was sothing she could never understand.
She didn’t understand why, despite her beauty, purity, and thoughtfulness, he preferred to play with her brother.
Although now it didn’t matter whether she understood or not.
She still couldn’t help but feel grateful... she hadn’t expected Xu Lingjun to rember her.
Even after completely cutting off her dreams of the throne, he had given her considerable compensation.
Xu Lingjun smiled and said, "I just think, with three-quarters of the Baoxue Empire’s land now part of the Great Xia Empire’s territory... Of course, officially half of it belongs to the Secret Realm, but we all know what’s really going on—this land needs a proper administrator, right? Princess, as a mber of the imperial clan, whether in identity or status, you’re certainly trustworthy to inherit the Baoxue Empire."
Han Qingxue understood Xu Lingjun’s aning.
To be appointed as a Prince, to beco the Sovereign of the Baoxue Empire... or rather, a vassal state.
Besides having a superior title,
In fact, the real power of this vassal state’s Sovereign was almost identical to that of a Sovereign.
This clearly satisfied Han Qingxue’s desires...
Of course, due to the proximity to the Secret Realm, apart from being a Sovereign, she might also have to accommodate Xu Lingjun... because he’ll be close to her by then?
She was montarily unsure whether her happiness was because her long-held wish had been fulfilled or because she was closer to him.
anwhile, Han Xu Yang was left speechless.
Xu Lingjun ca this ti to discuss with him the aftermath of the Baoxue Empire’s destruction.
Heaven knows...
The mighty Baoxue Empire, and you’re already thinking about dividing the spoils before the war has even started?
Han Xu Yang suddenly felt a bit sorry for Uther.
So full of ambition, yet it all becos a dowry for others... he might be the only Grandmaster of the Creation Realm who doesn’t get the Immortal Tao Technique.
Thanks to him, all the cultivators of the Creation Realm will be able to receive it.
"Hasn’t it already started, this war..."
Xu Lingjun was rather calm, and said blandly, "As it stands, the victor could be anyone but not the Baoxue Empire. Currently, it’s just a question of how high the so-called cost will be."
