My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.
Chapter 315 Ceasefire
Several hours later, Li Xuancang returned to the battlefield.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Li Xuancang return safely.
Li Xuancang has become a pillar of the court, and no mishaps can be tolerated.
Li Xuancang returned empty-handed, which was expected by everyone.
It is very difficult to kill a late-stage Transcendent Realm expert who wants to leave.
The group returned to the main hall to discuss their next steps.
"Yang Yuntian has been severely injured by me. He escaped using a forbidden technique that burns his foundation. It will take him at least a year and a half to recover."
Upon hearing Li Xuancang's words, everyone was shocked, and their hearts raced.
The fact that Li Xuancang was able to force Yang Yuntian to burn his foundation to escape meant that he had been driven into a desperate situation, further amplifying the fearsome aura surrounding Li Xuancang in everyone's minds.
"Now that the rebel army of hundreds of thousands has been buried by the evil cultivators, we should press our advantage and strike at their heart."
Li Xuancang wanted to use swift and decisive measures to completely eliminate the Fu Prince's Mansion.
Zhu Xuanye smiled wryly and spoke helplessly.
"My lord, years of war have exhausted the court and impoverished the people. We no longer have the strength to launch a counterattack."
The constant warfare and smoke of battle over the years have drained the imperial court's coffers.
The people are burdened with taxes far exceeding those of the past, and their resentment is already boiling over, making it impossible for them to survive.
Although victory has been achieved, the imperial court has reached its limit and is powerless to retaliate.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.
They were exhausted, both physically and mentally, and only wanted to end the war; they had no strength left to launch a counterattack.
Even Bi'an Si, who wanted to eliminate the evil cultivators, remained silent and did not utter a word.
Knowing the situation of the Great Yan, a forced counterattack would backfire.
Li Xuancang remained silent, as he had not expected the situation in the court to have deteriorated to this point.
If he were to launch a forced counterattack, the pressure on the battlefield would shift onto the people of Da Yan, a situation he couldn't bear to do.
"Your Highness, gentlemen, the Prince of Fu's mansion has not given up its evil intentions and will surely make a comeback. How do you all plan to deal with it?"
Li Xuancang threw the difficult problem to everyone.
Once the Prince of Fu's mansion catches its breath, it will inevitably attack the defense line again. How will the imperial court deal with that?
Zhu Xuanye seemed to have been prepared for this, and said, "My lord, the royal family has a kind of contract that can bind members of the royal family. I will have Prince Fu sign a ceasefire agreement in exchange for temporary peace."
Li Xuancang nodded slightly, "That's not a bad idea."
A period of peace can give people a chance to breathe and also make them stronger.
Will Prince Fu agree?
This was ultimately just Zhu Xuanye's wishful thinking; the Prince of Fu could refuse.
Zhu Xuanye knew Prince Fu very well and said, "Yang Yuntian is seriously injured, and Prince Fu has lost his right-hand man. He will definitely agree."
Since Zhu Xuanye was so confident, Li Xuancang said no more and left the matter to Zhu Xuanye to handle.
As the crowd dispersed, Zhu Xuanye sent someone to contact Prince Fu.
Half a month later, Prince Fu replied to Zhu Xuanye, and the two signed a ceasefire agreement, agreeing to a three-year truce.
"It's finally over."
After two years of intense fighting, the war has finally come to an end, and many people are overjoyed and relieved.
Even those at the Tongxuan realm, like Duanmu Lei, felt a sense of relief, their tense nerves finally relaxing.
The news quickly reached the imperial court, shaking the entire nation.
"Hahaha, great, the war is finally over."
"If the fighting continues, the imperial court will be dragged down."
"We can finally catch our breath, and the people can rest and recuperate."
"..."
Countless forces cheered and celebrated.
"Reduce the taxes of the people for one year, so that they can recuperate and rebuild their lives."
The emperor immediately ordered that the people be exempted from taxes for a year, allowing them to recover their strength.
"Is it over? Is it really over?"
"Waaaaah, we survived!"
"I want to go home, I miss my parents."
"..."
The soldiers wept with joy, embracing each other and wailing.
Even though the imperial treasury was empty, it was still essential to reward and provide compensation to the fallen soldiers and the surviving soldiers.
The imperial entourage was on its way to bestow rewards. Zhu Xuanye planned to send the soldiers home after the rewards were given, granting them a long rest and vacation.
Just then, people from the Bi'an Division came to see Li Xuancang.
Tao Tianyang got straight to the point, stating his purpose directly.
"Lord Li, we have a favor to ask. We would like to request your assistance in besieging and killing the Six-Eyed Demon."
The war of the Great Yan has ended, but the war of the Bi'an Division has just begun.
The evil cultivators entrenched in Yunzhou and the extremely dangerous Six-Eyed Demon were their targets.
They were eager to vanquish the demon, but lacked the strength to do so, and could only ask Li Xuancang for help.
"We know that this battle is likely to end badly. After this battle, regardless of whether we succeed or fail, the Bi'an Division is willing to offer a low-grade Heaven-level pill and a high-grade Earth-level divine weapon to thank Lord Li."
Tao Tianyang knew that this was a difficult task and was willing to offer his treasure as a reward.
Neither Heaven-grade weapons nor Earth-grade pills were of any concern to Li Xuancang.
"Can."
Li Xuancang agreed to take action not for personal gain.
He admired the actions of the Bi'an Division, and Huang Huayuan and the others would also take action; he couldn't stand idly by.
He also wanted to have a great battle with the Six-Eyed Demon to prove his own limits.
If we could slay the Six-Eyed Demon and rid the world of this scourge, that would be even better.
"Thank you, Lord Li."
Everyone was overjoyed when Li Xuancang agreed to help.
With the participation of the powerful Li Xuancang, even if they cannot kill the Six-Eyed Demon, they can still retreat unscathed.
Subsequently, Li Xuancang went to meet Zhu Xuanye and informed him of the matter.
"My lord, the Six-Eyed Demon is unfathomable; you must not put yourself in danger!"
Upon learning that Li Xuancang had agreed to join forces with Bi'an Si to kill the Six-Eyed Demon, Zhu Xuanye immediately stopped him.
Previously, Bi'an Si had asked him to help, but he refused on the spot. Unexpectedly, Bi'an Si came after Li Xuancang.
The Great Yan Dynasty is in turmoil, and Li Xuancang is the pillar that stabilizes the country. If anything were to happen to him, the Great Yan Dynasty would surely be shaken.
Even for the sake of the Zhu family's empire, Zhu Xuanye must stop Li Xuancang.
"My lord, the Six-Eyed Demon and the Prince of Fu's mansion are in cahoots. If he lays a trap and waits for you and the Bi'an Division to walk right into it, wouldn't you be in grave danger?"
Zhu Xuanye tried his best to persuade Li Xuancang to go.
"Your Highness, rest assured, I'll be right back, nothing will happen."
Li Xuancang was confident in his strength; even in the most dangerous places, he could fight his way out.
He had already promised Bi'an Si, so there was no reason for him to go back on his word.
"this……"
Seeing that Li Xuancang had made up his mind, Zhu Xuanye looked helpless.
His eyes changed, and he made up his mind.
"In that case, I will accompany you, Marquis."
Zhu Xuanye couldn't let Li Xuancang risk his life alone, so he decided to go with him.
Zhu Xuanye's decision caught Li Xuancang off guard and took him by surprise.
"Your Excellency is a pillar of the nation, and I cannot stand by and watch you risk your life."
Zhu Xuanye's words were powerful and resounding, changing Li Xuancang's previous impressions and views of the royal family.
