90: Chapter 90: Traitor! Dali Crisis

Jiang Xuan's ominous premonition grew stronger. "Many people think I'm dead?"

The city gate General's expression was quite furious. "It was spread by the Eight Great Dynasties, humph, now that I think about it, those guys had ulterior motives!"

"Eight Great Dynasties?" Jiang Xuan was puzzled.

"That's right. Back then, the Eight Great Dynasties surrounding Great Li Dynasty, because you were accepted as a Core Disciple by the Holy Land, all came to our Great Li Dynasty to curry favor, saying they would follow Great Li Dynasty's lead from then on."

"Who knew that these guys suddenly declared war on Great Li Dynasty a month ago, and even spread the news that you had fallen!"

"Since Great Li Dynasty didn't respond to such rumors, for a time, everyone was in a panic, all thinking you were dead. Otherwise, how would the Eight Great Dynasties have the guts to declare war on Great Li Dynasty."

After hearing this, Jiang Xuan pondered. Although there were frictions between the Eight Great Imperial Dynasties and Great Li Dynasty, it wasn't to the point of war. Behind this, someone was likely pulling the strings.

And they spread the news that I was dead. That could only mean the people who hired the Blood Demon Hall to kill me. There's only one explanation: they thought I would surely die under the assassins' attack, and furthermore, having entered Prison City, they were even more convinced that I had no chance of surviving.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan mused, "It's aimed at me? But that shouldn't be. If it's aimed at me, then knowing I'm dead, their goal has already been achieved. Why would they still declare war on Great Li Dynasty?"

Suddenly, Jiang Xuan thought of something, his expression drastically changing. He hastily asked the General beside him, "From where did the Eight Great Dynasties attack Great Li Dynasty?"

"This..."

The city gate General's face slightly changed, his expression evasive, stammering as if he had something difficult to say.

Jiang Xuan's heart sank, his eyes emitting a bone-chilling coldness. He said icily, "Speak!"

"It... it was from, from Donglin Prefecture that the attack was launched."

"Boom!" Hearing these words, Jiang Xuan felt as if he was struck by five bolts of lightning! His face instantly turned pale, and he swayed, almost falling to the ground.

Just then, an overwhelming killing intent permeated the entire city, and the surroundings fell into extreme silence, as if a great terror was about to descend!

The people within the city trembled, the suppression in their hearts making even their breathing difficult.

The city gate General, being the closest, had already knelt on the ground, looking at Jiang Xuan with horror. He saw that Jiang Xuan's eyes were bloodshot, with only chilling killing intent remaining, and sanguine Qi and blood rippled around him, like crimson ribbons floating in the air.

When Jiang Xuan looked over, his expression changed drastically. What kind of eyes were those? Blood-red like an abyss, like a demon returned from the Nine Netherworlds!

"Swish!" A red light flashed, and Jiang Xuan instantly vanished from his spot. Only faint red streaks could be seen in the distance, those were the steps Jiang Xuan took on his path of slaughter.

"Father, Family, you must hold on, wait for my return!"

After Jiang Xuan left, the oppressive atmosphere in the city disappeared. The city gate General stood up from the ground, looking in the direction Jiang Xuan disappeared with lingering fear.

"Lord Jiang Xuan, you are the pride of our Great Li Dynasty. Please, you must live."

If he could, he would also want to fight alongside Jiang Xuan, but he also had a similar task to do; this border needed to be guarded.

In different places, they had their own different battles! But their beliefs were consistent, all for Great Li Dynasty, for their loved ones behind them.

Donglin Prefecture, Tianshui City in the border region of Great Li Dynasty, was densely packed with figures. Looking closely, there were eight different banners and tens of millions of troops standing outside Tianshui City, each person carrying a murderous intent.

Inside Tianshui City, a transparent pillar of light surrounded the entire city. In the Tianshui City Lord's Mansion, King Chu Potian of Great Li Dynasty frowned as he looked at an Old Man beside him. Below were the various Prefecture Lords, as well as the Deans, and then Jiang Yuntian and Qian Li and others.

They all waited quietly, each person's face extremely heavy, and the entire hall felt exceptionally oppressive.

Jiang Yuntian's hands were tightly clenched, his expression nervous as he looked at the Old Man.

Just then, the Old Man opened his eyes, glanced at everyone, and said, "The Holy Land says there's still no news about Jiang Xuan's sequence."

As soon as these words came out, the crowd's faces grew even uglier.

A month had passed since they received the news of Jiang Xuan's demise. Initially, they thought it was just the enemy's trick to disrupt morale, but as time went on, coupled with the Holy Land saying that Jiang Xuan had entered Prison City, their hearts began to develop in a bad direction.

Chu Potian's face was grim. "Jiang Xuan didn't leave a soulCard in the Holy Land?"

The Holy Land Old Man shook his head.

Seeing this, the hall was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. A month ago, the Eight Great Dynasties, like madmen, assembled tens of millions of troops and, led by their respective Kings, attacked Great Li Dynasty's Donglin Prefecture.

At first, with the Emperor Rank Holy Land Elder arranged by Wu Tian in the Jiang Family, the Eight Great Dynasties dared not act rashly. However, just three days ago, six more Emperor Rank experts suddenly appeared within the Eight Great Dynasties.

Fortunately, the Holy Land Elder had made arrangements in advance, setting up a Formation in Tianshui City, which barely managed to withstand the army. Otherwise, the entire Great Li Dynasty would have already been shattered.

I don't think you all need to worry so much. With the demeanor of Jiang Xuan's sequence, he will certainly not fall just like that, and the Holy Land will not let anything happen to him.

The most urgent task at hand is to repel the enemy first. The Holy Land has already dispatched powerful experts here, and we only need to hold on until he arrives.

Everyone nodded. For now, this was the only way. Jiang Yuntian's expression was downcast. "Xuaner, your father believes in you; you must still be alive."

"Rumble!" Suddenly, the entire hall began to shake.

A loud laugh directly pierced through the Formation, coming from outside the heavens, "Hahahaha... A mere turtle shell, and you think it can stop us!"

"Not good!" The Holy Land Elder was greatly alarmed and quickly flew outside the city. The others hurriedly followed.

They saw that in the Void Realm, the originally transparent light shield began to show cracks.

"What's going on? How could the Formation be broken so easily!" The Holy Land Elder was greatly shocked. This was an Emperor Rank Formation; even if an Emperor Rank expert could break it, it shouldn't be so fast.

"Pfft!"

Just then, from behind the crowd, Chu Potian suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward.

A figure flew forward from the astonished gazes of the crowd, looking at the Holy Land Elder and others with a mocking expression.

Chu Potian's face was pale, and he clutched his chest, looking at the person in front of him in disbelief.

"Chu Beixiao, you traitor who bites the hand that feeds him! You actually betrayed Great Li Dynasty!"

The Holy Land Elder's aged face was extremely grim. "I wondered why the great Formation was broken so easily. So, it was because of you!"

Chu Beixiao, of the Great Li Dynasty Imperial Family, Chu Potian's biological younger brother.

Chu Potian's eyes widened in fury! Just now, he was distracted by the cracks in the Formation, which caused him to not pay attention to the movements of those around him.

Looking at the other party's furious appearance, Chu Beixiao sneered, "Hehe, Imperial Brother, you've sat on the throne of Great Li Dynasty long enough."

"Furthermore, look at the current situation. Stubborn resistance is pushing Great Li Dynasty into the abyss. I am saving Great Li Dynasty!"

"Don't worry, after you die, I will lead Great Li Dynasty to a higher level. That Lord has already promised to help me Breakthrough to King Rank, and in the future, help me Breakthrough to Emperor Rank. By then, Great Li Dynasty will become an Imperial Dynasty, and I will surpass all previous Imperial Family Old Ancestors, becoming the first person in history! Hahahahaha..."

Mad, unrestrained laughter spread all around. Chu Potian was heartbroken, "Fool, you fool!"

"Crack." Suddenly, the sound of breaking, like a giant hammer, struck everyone's hearts to the bottom.

"The Formation, it's broken."

"Hehe, Imperial Brother, it's time to go."

Chu Beixiao's sinister laughter came, and then he disappeared from everyone's sight.

In the Void Realm, the laughter of the eight Dynasty Lords spread throughout Tianshui City, "Hahahaha! Everyone, the Formation is broken! Follow this King to flatten Great Li Dynasty!"

And those six Emperor Rank experts fixed their gaze on Jiang Yuntian, killing intent fully revealed in their eyes!
