Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

"Mission accomplished, let's head back and talk more."

First, he made contact with several great free spirits, and then he caught up with those powerful free spirits and grandmasters.

The smile on Li Changqing's face never disappeared.

His group of experts were the same; they all looked incredibly excited.

"Hahaha, I, Old Wang, have never felt so happy in all my years of life."

"Those big gold dogs are probably furious right now, spitting blood, aren't they?"

"They dared to offend the territory of my Great Zhou; all of this is their own fault."

"What are our casualties like?"

Just as everyone was chatting, Li Changqing asked the several Beggar Clan masters a question.

Besides helping on the battlefield, they had another very important responsibility: to tally casualties and battle achievements.

Previously, the Beggars' Sect held a martial arts tournament, but was ambushed by the Heavenly Demon Elder. Li Changqing then instructed the Beggars' Sect to provide compensation to the heroes who tragically perished at that time.

If this happened in another sect, such an undeserved disaster would simply be considered their own bad luck.

When you're out in the world, you're bound to get hurt.

If you're going to venture into the martial world, you must be prepared to die a violent death.

This is also one of the rules of the martial arts world.

But Li Changqing did not do that. He not only had the body returned, but also gave a sum of money as compensation.

Moreover, the Beggars' Sect made a promise.

If their family is bullied in the future, they can seek help from the local branch of the Beggars' Guild.

It might not be able to satisfy them, but the Beggars' Sect will never stand idly by.

This is the responsibility of the Beggars' Sect.

At that time, Li Changqing had already begun to prepare for the reputation of the World Society.

The World Society will become such a force in the future, ensuring that all those who have contributed, bled, and sacrificed for the World Society receive everything they deserve.

Power, martial arts, wealth and glory...

As long as they desire it, put in enough effort, and achieve enough success.

The World Society will satisfy them.

This is also one of the core competitive advantages of the World Alliance.

Now that the World Society has been established, the powerful and skilled individuals present, whether invited by the Prince of Qinghe or by the Golden Dragon Hero, are all here.

As long as they are willing to come, the World Society will be credited with a favor.

If someone is injured, they will help treat them. Even if they can't treat them themselves, they can ask others for help.

If someone unfortunately dies in battle.

The pension provided by the imperial court is from the imperial court, but the Tianxia Hui (World Society) also provides an even more generous pension.

The reason why the Golden Dragon Hero's name card was so useful was largely due to what the Beggars' Sect had done before.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?

This saying applies not only to relationships between men and women, but to all relationships between people.

It was precisely because they felt the personal charm of the Golden Dragon Hero that so many reclusive and carefree masters were inspired by him.

Those people believe in the Golden Dragon Hero not for fame or personal gain.

He did it all for the sake of the soldiers and people of the Great Zhou.

As members of the Great Zhou, they are willing to follow in the footsteps of the Golden Dragon Hero and do their part for the Great Zhou.

"Two of my brothers were ambushed and injured. The others only suffered minor injuries, nothing serious."

Upon hearing the report from his subordinates, Li Changqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had anticipated that there would be losses on this trip.

But fewer casualties are always better.

"Quickly send our two brothers to Beimo City and have the army doctor treat them. After we return, I will report to the Prince and hold a celebration for all the brothers!"

Hearing Li Changqing's heroic words.

A group of heroes from the martial arts world felt they hadn't had enough of a fight.

They could continue fighting the Golden Dog for another eight hundred rounds!

Unlike today, although they participated in the battle, they spent most of their time under the protection of the Golden Dragon Hero. It felt like they just went out for a stroll and accomplished this unparalleled feat.

Amidst the surging emotions within, a peculiar feeling inevitably lingered.

But apart from the Beggars' Sect leader, everyone else was pretty much the same.

They quickly put that peculiar feeling aside.

The group traveled in a grand procession back to Beimo City.

That evening, General Xiao, who was stationed there, couldn't help but frown when he saw the Grandmaster's army return safely.

"Chief Chen, have you not found an opportunity to make a move?"

Even if the Grandmaster army wins a great victory, according to General Xiao's prediction, their losses will not be small.

It's impossible for the same number of people to go to the same place and come back the same way. After a big battle, their clothes must be a little dirty, right?

"General Xiao, please rest assured, eight or nine tenths of the grain has already been burned. What's left is enough to feed them for eight or ten days."

Succeeded?

General Xiao's eyes shone with wild joy.

Who knows how many sleepless nights he had gone through before?

The blood vessels in his eyes were almost forming a web.

An army of 600,000, thousands of grandmasters, and hundreds of powerful and unfettered individuals.

Such terrifying combat power was like a mountain pressing down on them all.

In previous encounters, they were clearly on the defensive and should have had the advantage.

But in the end, they all suffered losses.

The army suffered heavy losses among its grandmasters and wandering masters.

If it weren't for the timely support from the imperial court, they would have breached the city three days ago.

Now, he can finally put his mind at ease.

With only one-tenth of their provisions remaining, the 600,000-strong army had no other way out.

They either fight to the death or retreat.

Now, Prince Qinghe and Hero Jinlong have brought so many helpers.

At the level of grandmasters and unfettered masters, they are already no worse than their opponents, and may even be much stronger.

After all, besides these eight hundred-plus grandmasters and nearly one hundred powerful cultivators, the grandmasters in the army and those sent by the imperial court to provide support were still there.

If we add all these people together, whether in terms of the number of Grandmasters or the number of Great Masters of the Free and Unfettered Realm, we can see a significant difference.

They have all surpassed the Great Jin and the Grassland in every aspect.

These bastards' good days are over. Now they need to consider whether to press their advantage.

General Xiao hesitated for a long time, unable to make up his mind, and decided to discuss it with the Prince of Qinghe.

The nominal leader at the front is Grand Marshal Li Changqing.

"The food and drinks are ready; let's drink until we drop tonight!"

"Thank you for your hospitality, General!"

"It is I who must thank you all. Without you, the Northern Desert City would have been devastated this time. My entire Great Zhou would have been affected as well."

Just as everyone was complimenting each other, someone asked a question with a puzzled look.

"Why didn't Chief Chen burn them all at once?"

Given the circumstances at the time, Li Changqing was fully capable of doing so.

"This is the border, far from the Jin Kingdom and the heart of the grasslands. If we burn all their grain and supplies, they'll have no choice but to fight to the death."

With 600,000 troops cut off from water and food, it was impossible for them to return alive to the grasslands and the Jin Kingdom.
