My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

"I'm just a weak and powerless prince! My dream is to lie around in the Qin Prince's mansion, drinking tea, walking my birds, and playing mahjong every day!"

"You went to seize territory, why did you kidnap me and make me this damn Grand Marshal?! Is there no justice in this world?!"

Li Chen was filled with grief and indignation.

Hearing Li Chen's complaints.

Cheng Yaojin, who was sharpening his axe, stopped what he was doing.

He raised his head, revealing a set of big white teeth, and smiled in a very honest yet shameless way.

"Your Highness, you are mistaken."

Cheng Yaojin ran his thumb along the blade of his axe. "Although our cultivation has improved, what if we encounter some old monster on the other side in a battle, and we can't handle it?"

"It'll be different with you!"

Cheng Yaojin gave Li Chen a thumbs up, "You're our pillar of strength! We'll chop down the small fry, and you'll take on the tough ones!"

"The most crucial thing is..."

Yuchi Gong also came over, chuckling.

"You're really good at confiscating property! You lead the way to treasure troves, and you find them every time."

"Without you here, we've lost our bearings while looting!"

Li Chen rolled his eyes at this.

So these old thugs are treating him like a high-level thug and a treasure-hunting radar!

"Sixteenth brother, stop complaining."

Crown Prince Li Chengqian walked over and patted Li Chen on the shoulder.

His eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light, a stark contrast to his gentle appearance.

"This is the first time our Great Tang Dynasty's cultivation army has truly gone to war."

"Father can't come. If you're not here, who will keep order among these 100,000 troops?"

The prince gave a cold laugh and gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

"Those Turkic barbarians dared to collude with the demons of Tianlang Valley to slaughter the people of my Great Tang! This blood debt must be repaid with the strength of their sects and the heads of their entire families!"

Looking at this group of warmongers who had completely fallen into fanaticism and were unstoppable.

Li Chen slumped back into his chair, utterly exhausted.

"What a tragedy."

"How did the style of the Tang Dynasty get so distorted?"

Li Chen took out a cloth and covered his face, preparing to catch up on some sleep.

With these lunatics around, the enemy on the other side probably won't even have any intact ashes left.

Time passed as the spirit boat sped along.

A day and a night later.

The biting cold wind in the air, mixed with the strong smell of gunpowder and blood, began to seep into the commander's cabin through the gaps in the array.

"Your Highness! The ruins of Dingxiang City lie fifty li ahead!"

The scout in charge of reconnaissance rushed into the cabin and knelt down on one knee to report.

"The enemy's 300,000 iron cavalry, along with several thousand cultivators from Tianlang Valley, are arrayed on the plains outside the city!"

Upon hearing the report.

All the Tang generals in the main cabin froze in their tracks.

next second.

A series of violent fluctuations of spiritual energy, like a volcano about to erupt, exploded inside the cabin.

Cheng Yaojin suddenly stood up, picked up the Xuanhua axe, and stared with his bull-like eyes as wide as copper bells.

"Brothers! We've arrived!"

"Get to work!"

Li Chen also pulled off the cloth covering his face.

He stood up, walked to the bow of the command ship, and looked down at the land in front of him.

The once prosperous border town of the Tang Dynasty has now been reduced to scorched earth.

The city walls collapsed, and flames of war raged across the sky.

And on that vast plain.

The dark, imposing Turkic cavalry resembled a black ocean, stretching as far as the eye could see.

High in the sky behind the cavalry formation.

Thousands of Tianlang Valley cultivators, riding flying swords and wearing animal skin robes, hovered arrogantly in mid-air.

The front of the Sirius Valley camp.

A Golden Core stage elder with a sinister face and a hooked nose stood on a blood-red giant blade.

He looked at the Tang Dynasty's spirit boat fleet slowly approaching from the sky, and instead of showing the slightest fear, he let out an extremely arrogant laugh.

"Hahaha!"

Elder Tianlang unleashed his true energy, his arrogant and provocative voice booming across the plains.

"I thought the Tang Dynasty might send some divine reinforcements!"

"They were nothing more than a rabble floating in the sky, clinging to their mundane shells!"

Elder Tianlang surveyed the Tang fleet with disdain, as if looking at ants.

"Listen up, you cowards of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Hand over your princes and princesses, and offer up your nation's destiny and dragon veins!"

"Perhaps I, this elder, might show mercy and spare your corpses! Otherwise, today I will ensure that you ants die without a burial place!"

This extremely arrogant bark was clearly heard on the Tang Dynasty's command ship.

Quiet.

The deck of the Tang Dynasty ship was unusually quiet.

There was no fear, no retreat.

Yes, there are only active volcanoes that are about to erupt completely.

"Arrogant."

Crown Prince Li Chengqian's face instantly turned extremely gloomy.

He suddenly drew the golden dragon sword from his waist, took a step forward, and his golden sword energy soared into the sky.

"Sixteenth Brother!"

Li Chengqian's eyes were bloodshot as he gritted his teeth and stared at the enemy camp in the distance.

"There's no need for a large-scale military operation."

"Please wait here for a moment."

"I'll lead my men over there right now and forcibly capture one of the enemy's Golden Core generals!"

The prince's voice was filled with chilling cruelty and bloodshed.

"Today, I will use this scoundrel's head to sacrifice to the banner of my Great Tang Dynasty!"

The hook-nosed elder of Sirius Valley stood atop a blood-red giant blade, hovering high in front of the two armies.

His sinister old face was filled with an arrogant and overbearing demeanor.

"Those cowards of the Tang Dynasty!"

The elder with the hooked nose, amplified by his true energy, resounded like thunder across the plains.

"If you dare not fight, then obediently open the city gates and surrender! Kneel before me and beg for mercy, and perhaps I will spare your lives!"

These words were spoken.

The command ship of the Tang Dynasty instantly erupted into chaos.

"Damn it!"

Cheng Yaojin threw the whetstone in his hand to the ground, his eyes blazing with fury.

"That damned vulture is infuriating me! Your Highness, let me go down and chop his dog's head off with an axe!"

"Old Cheng, step back! Let me go!"

Yuchi Gong was also furious, cracking the air with his twin whips.

Crown Prince Li Chengqian, standing at the very front, had a face so dark it could drip water.

As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, how could he have been so insulted by a mere elder of the demonic path?

"Sixteenth Brother!"

Li Chengqian suddenly drew the golden dragon sword from his waist, and the sword emitted a high-pitched dragon roar.

He turned his head and stared at Li Chen with bloodshot eyes.

In a battle between two armies, morale is paramount!

"This old scoundrel is so arrogant. If we don't curb his arrogance, what will become of the might of our Great Tang army?"

"Please wait here a moment!"

Li Chengqian gritted his teeth, his voice filled with intense killing intent.

"I will immediately lead a few Golden Core guards and charge into the enemy ranks! We will capture one of the enemy's Golden Core elders alive, behead him on the spot, and use his blood to consecrate the banner of my Great Tang!"
