Special War God

Chapter 189 If Love Lasts Forever

Those words were still echoing in her ears. Just a few days later, Xu Dejing told her that Wu Chengjie was captured by dark forces and the Great Yellow Emperor was missing. How could she not think of Xia Zhongnan?

Xu Dejing had been paying attention to the changes in Xu Qian's expression. Seeing her eyes flickering, he seemed to have guessed something and immediately asked, "Qian'er, do you think he did it?"

Xu Qian replied: "What is father talking about? How could he have the strength to do such a thing?"

Although she had some doubts in her heart, how could she confess them in front of Xu Dejing?

Xu Qin couldn't help asking, "Father, who are you talking about?"

Xu Dejing replied: "Who else could it be? Of course it's Xia Zhongnan! He kidnapped Wu Chengjie and fought against the Great Yellow Emperor. Even if it was the Western Church that took action, I can't think of such a motive. Only he is the most likely one, and only he can do this!"

Xia Zhongnan had visited Xu's courtyard before, and Wu Chengjie came to provoke him, claiming that he wanted to take Xu Qian as a concubine. Xia Zhongnan saw all of this. In addition, Xia Zhongnan mentioned the "best of both worlds" strategy and asked him to handle it, so Xu Dejing suspected Xia Zhongnan was related to this matter from the beginning.

Xu Qin said: "Xia Zhongnan? He did tell Qian'er to wait for his news. Could it be that he has put it into action so soon?"

Xu Dejing asked: "Have you already met Xia Zhongnan?"

Xu Qin did not dare to hide it and replied: "My second uncle had just sent us here and he came..."

Xu Dejing asked anxiously: "What did he reveal to you?"

Xu Qin replied: "I told him that three royal families favored Qian'er at the same time, and Qian'er had made it clear that her entanglement with the royal family made it impossible for her to marry him. However, he said, 'What does the royal family mean? As long as Qian'er really wants to marry me, I will personally remove all obstacles.'"

Xu Dejing whispered, "Did he really say that?"

These words sounded more like a soliloquy. Xu Qin and Xu Qian did not respond, while Xu Dejing fell into deep thought.

Xu Qin couldn't help but let out a sigh, while Xu Qian was immersed in the time she spent with Xia Zhongnan.

After being abandoned by Lang Zhengfeng, the Thirteenth Army fell into despair, but Xia Zhongnan did not give in. He led 10,000 soldiers to face Kou Zhanyong's army of hundreds of thousands. Facing the indestructible Beiming Pass, he bravely broke into the Khan Army camp and planned with Marshal Baru to break through the fortress. When Lang Zhengfeng was besieged in the mysterious ruins of the Immortal Palace, he stepped forward and went deep into dozens of Huanxu period monks to rescue Lang Zhengfeng...

These memories flashed through her mind like a picture scroll, and comparing them with the current situation, she became more convinced that all this was the work of Xia Zhongnan.

Although the Wu royal family is strong and seemingly invincible, how could Xia Zhongnan be someone who fears a strong enemy?

At this moment, she missed Xia Zhongnan very much and longed to see him. She leaned on his chest and told him to be careful...

She had thousands of words in her heart that she wanted to tell Xia Zhongnan.

However, at this moment she did not dare to make any move, nor did she dare to show her complicated emotions in front of Xu Dejing.

She was afraid that Xu Dejing would do something bad to Xia Zhongnan.

Previously, Xu Dejing had betrothed her to Wu Chengkui without her consent, which had deeply hurt her heart.

But how could she understand Xu Dejing's difficulties and considerations?

Xu Dejing always put her first, but as the governor of a state, he could not do many things according to his will.

Fifteen more days passed like this.

There is still no news from the Great Emperor and Crown Prince Chengjie.

The imperial guards and city guards searched the entire city of Wudu but found nothing.

The atmosphere in Wudu City had unconsciously become much more relaxed.

Because everyone was exhausted by this incident, they gradually relaxed.

After all, it was impossible for everyone to continue to be consumed by this far-reaching mystery.

On this day, Xu Dejing came to the Four Emperors' Palace to resign.

As the ruler of Chifang Province, he cannot stay in Wudu for long and must go back to deal with the accumulated affairs.

The Four Emperors still received him in the study.

When the two met, Xu Dejing bowed first: "Greetings, Your Highness!"

The four emperors seemed to be in a bad mood and waved their hands: "De Jing, sit down!"

Xu Dejing sat down at the bottom and continued, "Your Highness, what do you think should be done with my daughter's engagement with Prince Chengkui?"

The Fourth Prince said in a deep voice: "Dejing, you need to calm down. This matter is unusual. It is unwise to hold a wedding at this time. Let's discuss the marriage between Chongkui and Qian'er after the rumors have died down."

Xu Dejing responded: "I understand, but I have been staying in Wudu and have not returned to Chifang for a long time..."

The fourth uncle consoled him, "Dejing, go back to Chifang without worry. I will take care of the follow-up matters."

Xu Dejing replied: "Then Dejing will go back and pack his bags immediately and leave tomorrow. Goodbye!"

After leaving the Fourth Prince's residence, Xu Dejing sighed inwardly. Although this meeting was as usual, he sensed the Fourth Prince's subtle estrangement, which prompted him to decide to leave Wudu as soon as possible.

The next day, three carriages of the Xu family left Wudu and set off for a distant port.

When Xia Zhongnan learned the news, he silently saw the carriage off from a hidden place in the Wentian Fairyland, but he could not show up to avoid attracting unnecessary attention. He could only watch the carriage leave from afar on the street.

Xu Qian looked through the car curtain at Xia Zhongnan, who was standing alone in the crowd, and tears fell silently.

After this separation, the two of them went their separate ways. When will they meet again?

Can he really fulfill his promise and clear the obstacles in their way?

The carriage galloped out of Wudu and rushed towards the harbor outside the city.

On the way, a woman stopped the carriage. Xu Qian recognized her as Tu Shan Fang'er and invited her to get in.

Xu Qian asked, "Fang'er, does Xiaofei have anything for you to tell me?"

Tu Shan Fang'er blinked and smiled, "My elder brother asked me to bring you a gift and a word of advice." Then he handed her a small porcelain bottle.

Xu Qian took it and opened it. She saw a brown pill lying in the bottle and asked doubtfully, "Is it a pill?"

Tu Shan Fang'er explained: "This is the 'Breaking Realm Returning to Void Pill'. When you have completed the Spiritual Transformation, take this pill and your chances of breaking through the Returning to Void realm will increase by 50%."

Hearing this, Xu Qian closed the bottle cap and pushed it back to Tu Shan Fang'er: "The most important thing is that he breaks through to the void as soon as possible. Only when he is stronger, we...we will have a chance. Let him use this pill himself."

Tu Shan Fang'er insisted: "Believe in your elder brother. Will he be unable to break through to the Return to Void? He hopes that you will concentrate on cultivation after returning to Chi Fang and break through as soon as possible. He also wants me to tell you one thing: 'If love lasts forever, it doesn't matter if we are together day and night.'"

Tu Shan Fang'er left. Xu Qian chewed over these words, tears welling up in her eyes again.

She has decided that after returning to Chifang, she will devote all her energy to cultivation and enter the realm of Return to Void as soon as possible.

With the top-grade Yuanshi and the "Breakthrough and Return to Void Pill" in her hands, she believed that it would not take long for her to become a Return to Void cultivator.

At that time, flying across the sky and earth, distance was no longer an obstacle preventing them from being together.

After Xu Qian left, Xia Zhongnan also began to prepare to leave Wudu.

Liu Dabazi is the new governor of the state, and there are a lot of complicated affairs waiting for him to solve in Xiuzhou...

This time, he gathered all the third-level fantasy beasts and the intelligent beast Bai Ze that he could control, stationed them in the misty Qiyun Mountain, and instructed his companions in the Zhen Hall to build a huge Taotie barrier in the mountain under Bai Ze's command.

He was determined to start a real fantasy showdown with the Wu Kingdom's royal family and would not allow Xu Qian to fall into Wu Chengjie's evil clutches.

When everything was ready, he immediately declared war on Wu Chengjie, and then planned to lure the great prince Wu Huaizu to Mount Qiyun.

The first step went as smoothly as expected, and the second step also went smoothly.

Perhaps the great prince was too confident in himself, or perhaps he did not want the family dispute to be exposed, so he did not inform anyone and went straight to Qiyun Mountain alone. He also burned Xia Zhongnan's letter to ashes, leaving no clues for people to track, so that Xia Zhongnan's formation and strength deployed in Qiyun Mountain could not be used.

You know, Xia Zhongnan originally planned to confront the forces of the great princes head-on here.

Although Qiyun Mountain could not withstand the powerful force of the entire Wu Kingdom court, Xia Zhongnan's layout in the dark was enough to severely damage the first batch of enemies that arrived.

Afterwards, he will take the beasts and flee to Fengqi Mountain, which is the second retreat route reserved by Xia Zhongnan. During this period, Bai Ze has transformed Fengqi Mountain into a hiding place for beasts. The core area is full of secret formations with both offensive and defensive capabilities. With more than a hundred beasts lurking in it, it is enough to become a nightmare for the Wu Kingdom Dynasty.

The only unknown was that he had not seen the true power of the Hedao monks. However, he still had a third way out.

It was a passage connecting the remains of the fairyland and filled with ancient secret formations. Feng Yunzi was not only a cultivator at the peak of the Hedao realm, but also a master of formations. Even if he died in it, Xia Zhongnan believed that Wu Longhai would never return once he entered the passage.

To sum up, these are the reasons why Xia Zhongnan dared to challenge the royal family of the Wu Kingdom.

The smooth progress of the first and second battles, coupled with the disappearance of Wu Huaizu and Wu Chengjie, temporarily stopped the court from mentioning the marriage, and Xu Qian's problem was temporarily resolved. Therefore, Xia Zhongnan did not need to fall into the trap.

At this moment, a head-on confrontation would be the most disadvantageous to him, and he would only resort to it when it was absolutely necessary. Because his own strength and the forces he could mobilize were increasing every day, the later the tough battle could break out, the more chances he would have of winning.

After leaving Wudu, Tushan Fanger led Xia Zhongnan to fly directly to Qiyun Mountain. On the way, they met Bai Ze and nine other strange beasts who were waiting. These strange beasts were all transformed into human forms, and it was difficult for non-high-level cultivators to detect their true appearance.

Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Kylin, Qiongqi, Pegasus, and Black Tortoise transformed into handsome young men, while Suzaku, Huangcheng, and Chongming Bird transformed into beautiful women. Only Bai Ze transformed into an old man with a Taoist heart and white hair and beard...

Alien creatures stepped into the world dominated by humans and quickly integrated into the new environment, but there were still unique talent differences between the races in the ability to change their form.

For example, the fox demon clan has an outstanding ability to transform into human form. They can change freely at the second level. When they reach the third level, even high-level cultivators of the human race cannot detect their flaws. Most alien species need to wait until the third level to master the transformation.
