Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these seven days, the topic of the decisive battle between Beiliang and the Black Cavalry Army of Nanyun became more and more heated.
Even the Nanyun Kingdom was stirred up.
"General Murong will definitely avenge Generals Zhang Yuan and Yun Bin!"
"That's right. Beiliang had no sense of honor and conducted a sneak attack from behind. Otherwise, Generals Zhang Yuan and Yun Bin would not have perished."
"Exactly! I hope after General Murong defeats Beiliang, he will bring the King and Crown Prince of Bei Liang back to our Nanyun Kingdom and properly humiliate them..."
"Hehe... After General Murong conquers Liyang Western Province, I will definitely go sightseeing there. I heard there are many beauties!"
"Hahaha... My friend, shall we go together then?"
"Sure..."
"..."
In the imperial court of Nanyun, Emperor Wei Jun sat on the dragon throne with a solemn expression.
Although the commoners of Nanyun all believed their Black Cavalry Army was invincible,
The demise of Zhang Yuan and Yun Bin was just an accident.
But as the Emperor, he naturally understood the capabilities of the Black Cavalry Army, as well as the strength of Zhang Yuan and Yun Bin.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, insiders watch the intricacies.
If just an ambush could annihilate his 150,000 Black Cavalry Army and kill two top-tier Great Yuan Realm generals,
The Black Cavalry Army would have been wiped out long ago when the Shenyu Dynasty invaded back then.
The Iron Cavalry of Beiliang was absolutely not to be underestimated!
There must have been an unknown reason for the demise of Zhang Yuan and the others that night.
It was not as the outside rumors said, that the Crown Prince of Beiliang led 100,000 Black Iron Cavalry to ambush them alone.
Anyone with a brain could tell,
How could a teenager possibly have the strength to kill top-tier Great Yuan Realm experts?
Emperor Wei Jun guessed that the Beiliang King and the expert named Gao Shun must have participated that night!
Only top-tier Great Yuan Realm experts could deal with Zhang Yuan and the other.
As for Return to Void Realm experts, Emperor Wei Jun did not even consider them.
If Beiliang had a Return to Void Realm expert, Liyang would have been unified by Beiliang long ago.
"My lords, who do you think will win in the decisive battle between General Murong and Beiliang today?"
Emperor Wei Jun murmured.
The civil and military officials looked at each other speechlessly, then collectively spoke:
"Your Majesty, General Murong will surely win a complete victory!"
Hearing this, Emperor Wei Jun did not speak. In fact, he also knew in his heart that it was Nanyun who would win.
After all, General Murong Liao had broken through to the half-step Return to Void Realm several years ago.
He became the second strongest person in the entire kingdom.
Only a few people knew about this.
As long as no Return to Void Realm experts appeared, no one under that realm was his match.
But for some reason, he felt a sense of unease in his heart.
"Report..."
"Your Majesty, General Murong and General Chen Ying have led 200,000 Black Cavalry to arrive at Qingshui Plain!"
"The Beiliang King has also led 160,000 Beiliang Iron Cavalry on the way to Qingshui Plain!"
At this time, an eunuch hurriedly ran in and knelt to report the situation that the scouts found out.
Upon hearing that the two armies were about to engage in battle, the civil and military officials began to discuss again.
"Investigate further!"
"Also, General Han, I order you to assemble 1 million troops to stand by at the border. Once General Murong is victorious, you will immediately lead the army to assist General Murong in taking Liyang Western Province!"
Emperor Wei Jun's eyes narrowed as he spoke solemnly to a general among the military officials.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
This general was at the Initial Stage of the Great Yuan Realm. Hearing the holy decree of Emperor Wei Jun, he cupped his fists and left the imperial capital swiftly.
The reason why Emperor Wei Jun did not directly order the 1 million troops to reinforce Murong Liao,
Was very simple.
These 1 million ordinary troops could not gather battle spirits.
Facing the battle spirit gathering Iron Cavalry of Beiliang, these 1 million troops could only serve as cannon fodder.
...
At this moment, on the Qingshui Plain, dark clouds pressed down on the city and fierce winds howled. The battle flags etched with the words "Black Cavalry" fluttered loudly in the wind.
The surging black battle spirit rushed towards the sky, like a hanging cloud from the heavens, hovering above the nine heavens and forming a vast black expanse.
At the forefront of the great army, Murong Liao wore battle robes with restrained aura, making it impossible to see through his cultivation level.
Whereas Chen Ying looked at Murong Liao with absolute reverence.
Just yesterday, their Grand General had successfully taken the final step to become a Return to Void Realm expert!
Now, he couldn't wait for the Beiliang King to arrive.
He seemed to already foresee the scene of the Beiliang King kneeling before them.
"Clip clop!"
Just as Chen Ying was lost in thought, the sound of galloping horses came from the distance beyond the plain, like a raging torrent, creating deafening noise. It stirred up clouds of dust.
Conspicuous within the dust were the battle flags etched with the words "Beiliang".
"They're here!"
On the warhorse, Murong Liao who had his eyes closed in meditation suddenly opened them wide and gazed at the iron-armored warhorses emerging from the rolling dust. His eyes narrowed slightly.
"Finally here!"
An icy killing intent appeared on Chen Ying's face, followed by an excited look.
Behind them, the 200,000 Black Cavalry soldiers gripped their weapons, with anger on each of their faces.
Today, they would definitely defeat the Beiliang Iron Cavalry and clear their name for the Black Cavalry Army!
They, the Black Cavalry Army, were the strongest cavalry!
The battle spirit of the 200,000 Black Cavalry surged wildly in an instant, the heavens and earth changed color.
The massive black battle spirit turned substantial, stirring the firmament once again, lightning flashed as if a storm was coming, creating an oppressive feeling.
In less than a moment, the 160,000 Beiliang Iron Cavalry arrived at the battlefield.
Originally Beiliang had 200,000 troops.
After several battles with the Black Cavalry Army, even the elite Beiliang Iron Cavalry suffered losses.
At this time, in front of the Beiliang Iron Cavalry, Li Luo wore white clothes and sat on a horse.
Whereas Li Beixiong had changed back into his python robes, looking quite like a prince.
Seeing the attire of Li Beixiong and Li Luo, Murong Liao showed a puzzled expression.
Looking at their clothing, they did not seem to be prepared for battle at all.
Murong Liao also noticed that on the warhorse beside Li Luo, there were two Great Yuan Realm experts.
One was impossibly young, at the Mid Stage of the Great Yuan Realm.
The other held a blood spear, at the peak of the Great Yuan Realm.
In his eyes, this peak Great Yuan Realm expert holding the blood spear should be Gao Shun!
Murong Liao guessed right. The blood spear holder was indeed Gao Shun.
As for the other, it was naturally Li Ergou.
Only Li Ergou simply did not enter Murong Liao's eyes.
Just an ant at the Mid Stage of the Great Yuan Realm, posed no threat to him at all.
After scanning the people at the forefront, Murong Liao only noticed Li Beixiong and Gao Shun, two peak Great Yuan Realm experts.
As for the others, he directly ignored them like Li Ergou.
Today, Beiliang would be annihilated by him!
On the warhorse, Li Luo noticed Murong Liao's disdainful expression, and the corners of his mouth curved up slightly.
Disdain?!
You will cry later!

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
