Starting from the martial arts world, Gan became a true master of martial arts.

a few days later.

Daqian, Yizhou, Qianlong City.

The palace was brightly lit, and the war between Yanzhou and Wanzhou also attracted the attention of everyone in Daqian.

In the side hall, Li Yixuan was playing chess with Wei Dan.

The side hall was already filled with ministers.

After making his move, Li Yixuan subconsciously raised his head and glanced outside the hall.

Although Wei Dan made his move, a flash of green light passed by, and the white piece on the chessboard, which was like a dragon, was instantly cut in half.

"Without being indifferent, one cannot clarify his ambition; without being calm, one cannot achieve far-reaching goals. A gentleman should be like this."

Wei Dan picked up a few chess pieces on the board, and the sound floated faintly into Li Yixuan's ears.

Li Yixuan immediately bowed his head, with a guilty look on his face: "I have let you down, sir."

Wei Dan slowly raised his head and looked at the Daqian Dragon Son in front of him calmly, "You seem to be very concerned about the war in Yanzhou and Wanzhou."

Li Yixuan did not argue: "Mr. Wei, since Shangjing City was sealed, Wanzhou has been the last legitimate bloodline of Dayang. As long as the Red Eyebrow Army can destroy Dayang, my Daqian will be the true orthodoxy!"

"Mr. Wei's layout is even more admirable to students. He had laid out a move several years ago, and this move completely determined Dayang's life or death."

Seeing Li Yixuan's excited face, Mr. Wei slowly stood up, put his hands behind his back and glanced outside the hall, and said softly: "Your Highness, where do you think the big prize is?"

Li Yixuan pondered for a moment and said affirmatively: "Of course it was Mr. Wei's grasp of the world situation that turned an idle piece into a sharp blade that stabbed Dayang's heart. It was a great fortune!"

After he finished speaking, Li Yixuan saw Wei Dan gently shook his head, and couldn't help but wonder: "Mr. Wei, is what the student said wrong?"

Wei Dan waved his hand and nodded gently: "At the beginning, Li Yuanzheng had Li Nan escorted to Wanzhou by Gu Chengxuan, and placed Dayang's last hope in Wanzhou. It was a good move."

"However, how could Li Yuanzheng have imagined that the young emperor and the great general who had made outstanding military achievements and held military power were like two young tigers. When the young tigers grow up, they will eat people."

“Whether it’s an idle piece or a sharp blade, the chessboard in my hand is not Kyushu, but the people’s hearts in Kyushu.”

Li Yixuan's eyes sparkled, and he said in a deep voice: "Students are learning!"

The next moment, Wei Dan had disappeared into the side hall.

Li Yixuan stood still and shouted to the outside of the hall: "Announce!"

Not long after, several ministers of Daqian strode in, headed by Zhai Zhixin. After paying their respects to the king, some ministers briefly reported on the latest battle situation between Wanzhou and Yanzhou.

The Wanzhou army, which should have lost its morale, actually "stood up" again after Gu Chengxuan raised his arm and called on them. What no one expected was that Emperor Xiaozong Li Nan actually took to the battlefield himself, which greatly boosted the morale of the defeated Yanzhou army.

After a fierce battle, Shengsheng forced the Red Eyebrow Army to retreat thirty miles.

Gu Chengxuan, the former battlefield god, once again proved his strength with facts.

Soon after, a part of Wanzhou's martial arts sect mysteriously disappeared.

After hearing this, Li Yixuan asked, "The martial arts sect just disappeared right under the noses of all our spies?"

Zhai Zhixin said: "I have ordered people to track down their whereabouts as soon as possible, but in my opinion, the martial arts sects are affiliated with the empire, and it is common for them to choose to hide when the empire declines. There is no need to take it to heart."

The other ministers around also exchanged glances. This kind of thing often happens in the martial arts of Jiuzhou, and many people really don't take it seriously. Li Yixuan nodded: "Our army was defeated in the battle of Jingzhou. Now the situation in Jiuzhou has changed drastically. We can't let go of any disturbance.

All the ministers go back first, Commander Zhai stays!"

As soon as Li Yixuan opened his mouth, the ministers knew that they could no longer make other suggestions today, and they immediately bowed and left.

After everyone left, Li Yixuan asked, "Commander Zhai, is there any news from Zhongzhou?"

"Your Highness, Zhongzhou has been extremely quiet recently. Just a few months ago, Taixuan Sect made a high-profile appearance. All the members of Taixuan Sect moved back to Taixuan Mountain and openly supported the Dragon Whale Army, which also attracted many Zhongzhou martial arts sects to follow."

"As for the Dragon Whale Army, there has been no major movement. The 300,000 Dragon Guards are still stationed at Pantai Pass, and no one knows what they are defending."

"But I heard that Fang Xuan seemed to have fought with some powerful person at Pantai Pass. It was quite a big commotion. Now there has been no news about Fang Xuan for three months."

Zhai Zhixin knew that in Li Yixuan's heart, the inner demon of Fang Xuan had not been eliminated, but had become even more serious after the battle of Jingzhou.

So before entering the palace, he sorted out all the information about Fang Xuan and the Dragon Whale Army in detail.

"Alas," Li Yixuan said with regret, "Although Mr. Wei's move was brilliant, the final battle between Hongmei and Dayang did not involve the Dragon Whale Army, so it was not perfect after all."

"After the battle of Jingzhou, I realized that the once unknown Dragon Whale Army was the ultimate enemy of Daqian. I couldn't sleep all night until this great threat was eliminated!"

"Your Majesty, since the Dragon Whale Army has not made any moves, our Daqian should focus more on training its troops to be prepared for any emergency." Zhai Zhixin advised.

Li Yixuan nodded in agreement, "I'll have to trouble Commander Zhai to take care of the training."

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Fang Xuan didn't know what major event had happened in Jiuzhou.

In the cave.

He never left from beginning to end, still sitting cross-legged on the stone bed full of mysterious patterns in the cave.

He had never expected that the Valkyrie would give him such a great gift, and that it would take such a long time to completely integrate the Samadhi True Fire.

At this moment, he shook his head slightly and said to himself: "No wonder even the Valkyrie is so fond of the Samadhi True Fire. The fusion of the three seemingly ordinary true fires is actually so difficult, but..."

As he spoke, Fang Xuan gently raised his right hand, and with a thought, a scorching temperature instantly filled the entire cave.

At Fang Xuan's fingertips, a cluster of nine-colored flames was gently dancing, emitting an incredibly terrifying destructive power.

“I don’t know what will happen to the blooming Epiphyllum if I use the Samadhi True Fire to perform the Burning Technique!”

Looking at the flames dancing on his fingertips, a hint of anticipation appeared in Fang Xuan's eyes.

Next, he tried to summon the Qiankun Talisman, but found that it was the same as before. Ever since the Valkyrie blocked the heavenly secrets, even the Qiankun Talisman could not be mobilized at will.

On the contrary, after the Samadhi True Fire was completely integrated, Fang Xuan was surprised to find that his seven spirits had been condensed successfully in some way.

After half a year of sitting still, he was finally just one step away from the realm that everyone dreams of.

Once he takes that step, his strength will immediately achieve a qualitative leap. Combined with the Samadhi True Fire, he might even be able to kill the witch god in Shangjing City! (End of this chapter)
