Chapter 674 Soul Fusion
"General."

When Xiang Hong heard Qi Liyan's promise, the corner of his mouth twitched.

Seeing Xiang Hong's reaction.

Several generals from the Qian Yuan Immortal Dynasty, including Qi Liyan, looked puzzled.

Although Li Rui held a very high position in the Yu Kingdom, it was still only a second-rate immortal dynasty. In their eyes, it was like trying to build a temple in a snail shell.

To be honest, several of them were former princes of second-rate immortal dynasties, or even patriarchs of third-rate immortal dynasties.

Therefore, in their view, this is a good way out.

Xiang Hong chuckled awkwardly: "Lord Li was favored by Prince Xuan'an long ago."

"Oh?"

Qi Liyan raised an eyebrow.

This Prince Xuan'an is one of the top five princes in the Qian Yuan Immortal Dynasty in terms of real power. To be valued by him means one is bound to rise to prominence.

Xiang Hong continued, "Prince Xuan'an promised Lord Li the position of Marquis."

A marquis?!
As soon as these words came out.

Even Qi Liyan was secretly surprised.

King Xuan'an was a man of great stature. Although he was not one to swear by his word, he was a man of absolute authority and would not joke about such a thing.

Moreover, Xiang Hong was a confidant of Prince Xuan'an.

Therefore, it is absolutely true.

Li Rui is currently still a prince in the Kingdom of Yu, which means he was rejected?!
Qi Liyan immediately lost his composure.

Even someone at the late-stage Celestial Realm like him has to wait for seniority to get a marquisate, yet when such a good opportunity was presented to Li Rui, he simply refused.

It's true that comparing yourself to others makes you feel thwarted.

Qi Liyan became interested.

After driving away the enemy from the Burning Heart Immortal Dynasty, he should have returned, but he made an exception and stayed in the Eastern Governor's City for one night, ostensibly to prevent the enemy from launching a surprise attack.

But anyone with eyes can see that.

Qi Liyan had the intention of making friends with him.

Not only Qi Liyan, but also several other generals of the Qian Yuan Immortal Dynasty were like this.

Tacitly.

Li Rui himself proved his Dao through force, making him virtually invincible among his peers. Coupled with his excellent comprehension and innate talent, he will likely remain invincible for a long time.

Furthermore, given his existing relationship with Prince Xuan'an, it was natural for him to want to befriend him.

They are indeed important officials of the Qian Yuan Immortal Dynasty, but they still need friends, don't they? Having more friends means having more options.

Not to mention a friend with such great potential as Li Rui.

Li Rui accepted all comers.

They immediately hosted a banquet to entertain them.

The people of the Qian Yuan Immortal Dynasty valued his potential, and he, in turn, valued their current positions.

Each of them is a key minister of a first-rate immortal dynasty; there will definitely be places where they can seek favors in the future.

Take what you need.

The host is kind, and the guest is willing.

The banquet was naturally very lively.

After several rounds of drinks, Qi Liyan patted his chest and said, "Lord Li, when you come to the Qian Yuan Immortal Dynasty in the future, remember to come and see your old brother. If you come without saying hello, our brotherhood will fade."

"sure."

Don't let Qi Liyan's appearance fool you; he looks much younger than Li Rui.

But in terms of age, it is already five hundred years old.

They're old enough to be ancestors.

Li Rui: "You are all my elder brothers. I hope you will take good care of me in the future. Let me offer you three toasts to thank you all, my dear brothers."

Say it.

It means drinking three cups in a row.

This is a spirit wine made from high-grade spiritual plants; it can intoxicate even celestial beings.

After three cups, their sincerity was evident.

Li Rui's movements were incredibly smooth. Back then, he relied on his age and acted like an old man, but now that he's a junior, he should take advantage of having many good older brothers around him.

Seeing that Li Rui was so sensible.

The smiles on the faces of the Qian Yuan Immortal Clan members widened.

He's a mature and steady young man!

Which older brother wouldn't like such a capable and humble younger brother?

The atmosphere instantly became even more heated.

They drank until dawn before Qi Liyan, still tipsy, led Qian Yuanxian and the others away.

Gazing at a sliver of light on the horizon.

Li Rui smiled and shook his head. Meanwhile...

Lines of small text appeared on the panel.

We're one step closer to receiving the reward!
Li Rui's lips curled up slightly.

But this did not make them lower their guard.

Today's surprise attack is probably just the beginning.

'The Burning Heart Immortal Dynasty is declaring war on all nations.'

The people of the Qian Yuan Immortal Dynasty had already stationed themselves at the Eastern Governor's Mansion, yet they still chose to take action. The intentions behind this were quite extraordinary.

I fear a great war is about to break out.

The next time we see the army of the Burning Heart Immortal Dynasty, it will probably not just be a surprise attack, but a direct frontal battle.

There will definitely be bloodshed and chaos then.

"Li Rui used the Nine Dragons Sealing Heaven Formation to repel four Celestial Realm experts from the Zhennan Army?"

Zhao Ke, the eighth prince of the Burning Heart Immortal Dynasty, frowned.

"Yes, that's what Lord Yuan said in his message, but the other two countries have already succeeded, and this is the essence and blood of their holy emperors."

An old man with a droopy face held two small jade bottles in his hands.

I can see the flow of Qi and essence.

Zhao Ke's expression softened considerably.

Although he suffered a setback in the State of Yu, at least he didn't return empty-handed, and he could at least give an explanation to his maternal grandfather and mother.

"Yu State. Li Rui"

Zhao Ke wrote down the name.

However, he doesn't plan to take action for the time being.

After all, the Burning Heart Immortal Dynasty will soon make a big move, and then we can deal with them all at once.

Zhao Ke said calmly, "Let Yuan Xiangang stay in the south. He can come back whenever he has destroyed the Yu Kingdom."

"Yes."

The old man accepted the order.

Watching the old man leave.

A cold glint appeared on Zhao Ke's lips.

No matter how capable Yuan Xiangang was, he was still a subject. He was a member of the royal family and the emperor. If a subject failed to perform his duties, he should be punished.

Although Yuan Xiangang did not participate in the battle against Yu, he was still responsible for failing to supervise the battle effectively.

He should be punished.

If Yuan Xiangang can truly destroy the Yu Kingdom, he can return and continue to be my good teacher, the Minister of Personnel of the Burning Heart Immortal Dynasty. If he fails, then being a leisurely military governor in the Zhennan Army would also be fine.

It allows a mediocre official to die a peaceful death.

Zhao Ke felt he had been very kind.

Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Since the last time, the Burning Heart Immortal Dynasty has once again fallen into silence.

The Qian Yuan Immortal Dynasty was furious and dispatched a large army to reclaim the southern kingdoms through a passage. The two sides were locked in a standoff, with the imminent threat of a major war.

of course.

These are all temporarily irrelevant to Li Rui.

At this moment, in a room in the Prince's mansion.

A celestial light shimmered around Li Rui.

Look inward at yourself.

Within the Purple Palace, the Dao Embryo figure was facing the sky with its five hearts turned upwards, while a giant phantom in the celestial court looked down from above.

This is a sign of the fusion of the soul and spirit into the embryo, a sign of the middle stage of the celestial-human
