I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

Just as the entire Great Qian Dynasty was about to fall into unprecedented turmoil due to the collapse on two fronts, a powerful and majestic voice, like a stabilizing force, suddenly rang out in the Golden Hall of the Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty need not panic. These petty clowns from the Northern and Western Regions cannot cause any trouble!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man dressed in a purple-gold python robe, with his beard and hair standing on end and his face exuding an imposing aura, strode in from outside the hall.

He carried no weapons, only plain clothes, but the innate, bloodthirsty aura he exuded, honed from countless battles, caused all the civil and military officials in the court to feel a chill run down their spines, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

The person who arrived was none other than the Prince of Kao Shan, the pillar of the Great Qian imperial family who had just been invited out of seclusion by Emperor Qian Lu Tianqian!

"Royal Uncle!"

When Lu Tianqian saw the person who had arrived, a hint of joy finally appeared on his originally gloomy face. He even quickly stepped down from the dragon throne and went forward to greet him personally.

The entire court of civil and military officials knelt down in unison, shouting, "Greetings, Prince Kao Shan!"

The Prince of Kao Shan nodded slightly to Lu Tianqian, then stood imposingly in the center of the hall, his gaze sweeping over the kneeling officials below, and he let out a cold snort.

"Look at you all, so spineless! A mere barbarian tribe and a small Western Region kingdom, and you're all this scared? You've completely disgraced our Great Qian!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority that made everyone feel suffocated.

An old minister, mustering his courage, spoke tremulously: "Your Highness, you are unaware of the truth! The Zhenbei Army and the Xiao Family Army have deserted in the face of battle, leaving the northern border and the western regions wide open. Marquis Weiyuan's 200,000-strong army has been... wiped out once again! The enemy is advancing unimpeded, and our Great Qian is in imminent danger!"

"The Northern Garrison? The Xiao Family Army?" Upon hearing these two names, the Prince of Kao Shan's face revealed an undisguised contempt. "They're nothing but two bunches of useless bastards occupying positions without doing their jobs! Without them, would my Great Qian Empire collapse?"

He paused, then his voice suddenly rose, booming like thunder: "What a joke!"

"Your Majesty!" Prince Kao Shan turned abruptly, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lu Tianqian, and said in a powerful voice, "This old minister had long anticipated this day, and therefore, following the late emperor's secret edict, I secretly trained an army!"

These words shocked everyone present!

Lu Tianqian was also taken aback: "Uncle, what you mean...?"

"This army is called the 'Black Armor Army'!" The King of the Mountain's voice was filled with unparalleled pride and confidence. "Since their formation, they have never shown themselves to the world, nor have they participated in any war. Their sole purpose is to deal with this crisis facing the nation's imminent collapse!"

"Today, it's time to let them draw their swords, which have been hidden for decades, and see blood!"

"This old minister has already given the order for 100,000 Black Armored Soldiers to immediately march to the Northern Border! This will also allow the world to see who truly deserves the title of the Great Qian's foremost army! Those so-called Northern Garrison Army are nothing but a bunch of undeserving charlatans!"

The moment the words fell, a mysterious and terrifying aura, seemingly capable of drawing upon the power of heaven and earth, erupted from the body of the Mountain King!

boom--!

The entire Golden Palace emitted a slight hum under the impact of this aura.

Everyone was pinned to the ground by this oppressive force, their faces filled with horror and disbelief.

Pointing to the Mysterious Realm!

King Kao Shan has actually stepped into the Finger Profound Realm?

"Uncle, you...you've broken through?" Lu Tianqian felt the powerful aura and his eyes shone with wild joy.

The Prince of Kaoshan slowly calmed his aura, but there was no joy on his face. His sharp eyes seemed to pierce through the palace walls and look towards the direction of the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion.

"Chu Tianyuan, in our battle back then, I narrowly lost by half a move and was forced into seclusion. For the past few decades, I have endured hardship and cultivated diligently day and night, finally breaking through the barrier and entering this realm!"

"You claim to be the God of War of the Great Qian Dynasty? I'd like to see how my Black Armor Army, which I've poured half my life's blood into, truly compares to your so-called Northern Garrison Army!"

"Just you wait, you old bastard! The day I return victorious from the North will be the day I reclaim everything I lost and utterly raze your Zhenbei Prince's Mansion to the ground!"

He didn't say these words aloud, but silently recited them in his heart. However, the overwhelming fighting spirit and hatred made the surrounding air scorching.

"Your Majesty, rest assured," the Prince of Kaoshan turned to Lu Tianqian and said loudly, "These mere barbarians are nothing to fear! I await your triumphant return!"

After saying this, he ignored everyone's reaction, flicked his python robe, turned around and strode away from the Golden Palace, leaving behind only shock and ecstasy.

……

Zhenbei Palace.

Just as the Prince of Kao Shan left, a figure slowly appeared outside the tightly closed vermilion gate of the Prince's mansion.

He was a young man dressed in a brocade white robe and holding a folding fan.

He had a handsome face and an extraordinary demeanor, with a faint smile on his face, as if he were not there to seek revenge, but rather a traveler on a spring outing.

He looked up at the plaque hanging above the door, with the four characters "Zhenbei Prince's Mansion" written in a flamboyant style, and gently tapped his palm with his folding fan.

"Is this the place?"

He was none other than Li Xuanyi, the young master of the Taiyi Sect, who had come from afar on his father's orders to avenge his cousin Lu Ling.

"Tsk tsk, what a grand and imposing place." Li Xuanyi looked around at the vast and magnificent royal palace in front of him, his eyes filled with a condescending scrutiny.

He walked up the steps to the gate, neither knocking nor forcing his way in.

He simply extended the hand that held the folding fan and, seemingly casually, flicked it lightly against the heavy vermilion door.

"Thump—!"

A dull, loud bang suddenly rang out!

The gilded bronze gate shattered instantly under that single finger, turning into a shower of wood chips that shot towards the interior of the palace!
