My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

Looking at the crowd requesting help, Zhu Xuanye looked helpless.

"Gentlemen, the barbarians, the grasslands, and the northern barbarians are all stirring up trouble and eyeing us covetously. The imperial court no longer has the resources to support us."

Zhu Xuanye's words shocked everyone.

With the imperial court unable to send reinforcements, how could they possibly withstand the army from Yunzhou?

Zhu Xuanye's face was full of bitterness and helplessness.

The wall fell and everyone pushed.

The Great Yan Dynasty is declining and on the verge of collapse, with various forces eager to pounce and tear a piece of its flesh.

The Giant Whale Gang and the Spirit Sword Sect are also gathering forces from all sides in the martial arts world, sharpening their knives in preparation for battle.

The Great Yan Dynasty is now riddled with problems, beset by internal and external troubles, and is constantly robbing Peter to pay Paul, making it vulnerable to collapse at any moment.

"How could this happen?"

No one expected the situation to have deteriorated to this extent; it was a sign of impending national demise.

"Gentlemen, please hold on no matter what. As long as we can hold off Yunzhou, we still have a chance."

Of all the threats, Yunzhou is the most deadly.

If they were allowed to break out of Yunzhou, the entire Great Yan region would become a place rampant with evil cultivators, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhu Xuanye's expression was solemn as he bowed to everyone.

"Everyone, this matter concerns the fate of the Great Yan Dynasty. Please support us. I am deeply grateful."

Zhu Xuanye's expression was serious, and his attitude was sincere.

Completely setting aside his dignity as a late-stage Transcendent Realm expert and his identity as a prince of the dynasty, he pleaded with everyone to lend him a hand.

"Your Highness is too kind. We will do our best."

Zhu Xuanye had already pleaded so humbly that no one could refuse.

Li Xuancang had some understanding of the situation in the Great Yan Dynasty, but he was unaware of many secrets and was also unaware that the Great Yan Dynasty was already beyond saving and was on its last legs.

After the Liangzhou army was no longer a menace, the lives of the people of Liangzhou improved considerably.

Ganquan County was no longer invaded by the grasslands and became increasingly prosperous.

"boom!"

Inside the military camp, two powerful auras surged in all directions, alarming many people.

A moment later, the two Ouyang brothers slowly emerged from their secluded retreat.

The two had just broken through and hadn't had time to conceal their aura.

"Greetings, Your Excellency..."

Upon seeing Li Xuancang waiting there, the two immediately bowed to him.

His attitude was respectful, and his eyes were full of gratitude.

Get up!

With both of them breaking through to the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm, Li Xuancang was in high spirits, feeling that his investment of several million taels of silver had not been in vain.

Both of them were exceptionally talented. Despite being ostracized by various forces and lacking resources, they were still able to cultivate to the Qi Refining Realm, which speaks volumes about their innate talent.

After joining Li Xuancang's side, the two received a large amount of resources, and their cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.

Not long ago, Li Xuancang spent more than five million taels of silver to buy a large number of pills for them, enabling the two to break through their cultivation levels.

The two did not disappoint Li Xuancang, both breaking through to the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm.

"Let's go down and stabilize our cultivation level first!"

"yes!"

No sooner had the two left than another violent aura emanated from another location.

Li Xuancang was overjoyed, and his figure vanished instantly.

Bai Meng strode out with his burly body. He was now 2.5 meters tall, like a small giant.

His muscles bulged high, exuding explosive power.

"Greetings, Your Excellency."

Bai Meng was surrounded by fierce qi, and successfully broke through to the Qi Realm.

"Haha, good, very good."

Li Xuancang was overjoyed; today was truly a day of double happiness.

Although Bai Meng has only just broken through to the Gangqi Realm, he possesses innate divine strength, making his combat power comparable to that of someone in the mid-stage of the Gangqi Realm.

With three of his generals breaking through to higher realms, Li Xuancang was in high spirits.

The next period of time was a rare moment of leisure for Li Xuancang.

He held absolute power in Ganquan County, far from the emperor's reach, and no one could control him.

The grassland people dared not invade, and no war broke out.

He spends most of his time with his family and the rest of his time training the army.

His army under his command has undergone a complete transformation, making them capable of matching those battle-hardened elites.

Li Xuancang was also paying close attention to the situation in various parts of the Great Yan so that he could take precautions in advance.

On this day, someone from the Du family came.

"Greetings, Lord Li."

The visitor was Du Xiong, an acquaintance of Li Xuancang.

"Please sit down. What's the rush?"

Du Xiong looked anxious, which gave Li Xuancang the same bad feeling.

Du Xiong did not take a seat, but hurriedly said, "My lord, my uncle Du Tianhao was seriously injured in the battle in Yunzhou and is now critically ill. He needs a treasure containing powerful life force to save his life. The family sent me to ask you for help. Please keep an eye out for such a treasure."

After hearing what Du Xiong said, Li Xuancang's heart sank.

Du Tianhao was a powerful expert in the Tongxuan Realm, yet even he was severely injured and sent back to the Du family. One can imagine how brutal the battlefield was.

"Lord Du was injured while serving the court; is the court simply going to ignore him?"

Although the imperial court is in decline, it is not so bad that it cannot even produce some treasures.

This concerns the life of a Transcendent Realm expert. Is the imperial court just going to sit idly by and do nothing?

Du Xiong looked helpless and told the truth.

"Your Excellency may not know this, but the national treasury is already empty. Resources have been emptied by those powerful families and clans, and after many years, they have been almost completely depleted."

"Neither the imperial court nor the emperor has any treasures that can cure Uncle Tianhao."

The treasure that could cure Du Tianhao was no ordinary item; the imperial court might have been able to provide it during its heyday, but now it was powerless to do so.

Otherwise, the Du family wouldn't have sent Du Xiong to seek help from Li Xuancang.

Li Xuancang is the garrison commander of Ganquan County. There are merchant guilds from all over the world here, and perhaps they can find the treasure that can cure Du Tianhao.

Du Tianhao is the only Transcendent Realm expert in the Du family and the pillar of the family. He must not fall.

Upon learning the situation, Li Xuancang's expression turned solemn, and his mind raced.

Seeing that Li Xuancang did not respond at all, Du Xiong looked anxious, but dared not urge him.

The Du family had exhausted all other options and had no choice but to turn to Li Xuancang, who was their only hope.

"I happen to have a treasure that might be able to heal Lord Du."

Li Xuancang still decided to give the heart of Lieshanjun to the Du family to save Du Tianhao.

Firstly, he was related to the Du family by marriage, and he couldn't just stand by and watch them die.

Secondly, both Du Tianfeng and Du Tianhao had been kind to me; my family had received a lot of protection from Du Tianfeng back in Anzhou.

Even without this marriage, Li Xuancang would still have come to the rescue.

"Lord Li, is this true?"

Upon hearing this, Du Xiong was completely stunned, and asked Li Xuancang for confirmation in a trembling voice.

Li Xuancang nodded slightly. The heart of the Mountain Lord contained the essence of his life. If even that could not cure Du Tianhao, then there would be no cure for Du Tianhao in the world.

"Bang, bang bang bang..."

Du Xiong immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Li Xuancang.

"Thank you, Lord Li, thank you, Lord Li..."

He repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Lord Li.

For a family, prosperity is shared by all, and loss is shared by all.

Du Tianhao's importance to the Du family is self-evident.

Li Xuancang's actions not only saved Du Tianhao, but also the Du family.
