Li Cunxu trembled all over.

He remembered his father telling him these things, and even hinting that he should be careful of the Bad Commander.

He didn't take it seriously then, but now he realizes how terrifying the Bad Commander is.

Many years ago, the Bad Commander actually foresaw that he had the ambition to become emperor!

"Father..."

Li Cunxu was filled with remorse.

He originally thought that his father suppressed him and promoted Li Siyuan in order to maintain a balance of power.

Only now do we realize that Li Siyuan was merely a target pushed to the forefront, and that his father suppressed him in order to protect him.

"I've lost, I've lost..."

Disheartened, Li Cunxu admitted his defeat to Qin Chuan.

"If the conditions were equal, you might not necessarily lose."

Qin Chuan looked at Li Cunxu and shook his head slightly.

He had a huge advantage in this battle.

Their troop strength, intelligence, and even personal combat power are all superior to Li Cunxu's.

What chance did Li Cunxu have of winning?

"There has never been a war in which both sides were evenly matched; once you lose, you lose..."

Li Cunxu looked up to the sky and sighed:

"Although I lost the battle against you, I am satisfied. It's just a pity that I didn't get to fight that young marshal!"

"actually……"

Qin Chuan paused slightly after hearing this before saying:

"I am the young marshal."

Li Cunxu was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter:

"I see, I see, I see..."

At that moment, he understood many things.

The Grand Preceptor of the Great Liang Dynasty is Qin Chuan.

The young marshal is Qin Chuan.

Presumably, that villain Tian Anxing is also Qin Chuan; otherwise, how could Jing Xinmo possibly obey his orders?

The three greatest heroes of our time are actually one person!

What regrets could Li Cunxu have if he lost to someone like that?

"I have one last question."

Li Cunxu gradually calmed down. He looked at Qin Chuan and asked:

"Are you really going to support that good-for-nothing?"

The "waste" he referred to was not Zhu Youzhen, but Li Xingyun.

In his view, it was the greatest regret in the world that Qin Chuan, with his talent, was assigned to assist Li Xingyun.

"It doesn't matter who I assist; what I want is a world of harmony and a return to prosperity."

Qin Chuan did not answer the question directly.

But Li Cunxu understood the unspoken meaning in his words.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Li Cunxu drew his long sword, held it to his neck, and laughed loudly, saying in a theatrical tone:

"Qin Chuan, I, Li Cunxu, offer my head as a congratulatory gift, wishing you to unify the world and usher in a golden age!"

After the song ended, the long sword flashed, and a head flew through the air.

"We swear to follow Your Highness to the death!"

The general who had previously questioned Jing Xinmo raised his broadsword and led Li Cunxu's personal guards in a desperate charge against the Liang army, which outnumbered them ten to one.

Qin Chuan showed no mercy and waved his hand to order the Liang army archers to fire in unison.

For these soldiers who swore allegiance to Li Cunxu, dying on the front lines was their best fate.

After several rounds of arrow rain, thousands more corpses lay beneath the walls of Bianzhou.

They were all shot in the front, and none of them died with their backs to the ground.

Qin Chuan walked through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, picked up Li Cunxu's head, and put it back in its original place.

Not long after, in the Hidden Soldiers Valley, a thousand miles away.

Yuan Tiangang stood with his hands behind his back in front of the Hidden Weapon Pavilion, gazing into the distance.

The cloaked figure with a face covered in bandages approached him from behind and said respectfully:

"General, a letter from Jingxinmo reports that the young general has won a great victory in the Battle of Bianzhou. Li Cunxu committed suicide at the foot of the city, and his body has been returned to Prince Li Keyong of Jin by the young general."

Yuan Tiangang nodded slightly, seemingly without much reaction.

"The arrangements for the Qianling Mausoleum have also been made."

The cloaked man continued:

"At this time, the whole world knows that Li Xingyun will take the Longquan Sword to Qianling to search for the Longquan Treasure."

"As I said before, people will dare to do anything if there is profit to be made! Tell Qin Chuan that anyone who enters Qianling will be killed!"

Yuan Tiangang gave a soft snort, his killing intent boundless.

"After obtaining the Dragon Spring Treasure Box..."

The cloaked figure hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"There is something in this world called the Blood-Weeping Record, which allows one to exchange the blood of others for one's own."

Yuan Tiangang said calmly:

"Once you obtain Li Xingyun's dragon blood, the Dragon Spring Treasure Box, the Dragon Spring Sword, the Dragon Spring Treasure, and even the throne, they will all be yours."

"That blood-soaked record is..."

The cloaked man wanted to ask more questions.

Yuan Tiangang had already vanished from the spot, leaving only his hoarse, low voice echoing:

"One of the four great corpse ancestors of the Xuanming Sect, Hou Qing, whose blood has stained the rivers and mountains."

"The Corpse Ancestor of the Xuanming Sect..."

The cloaked figure seemed lost in thought.

The four great corpse ancestors have disappeared for many years.

The only one who probably knows where they are is Qin Chuan, the Yin Emperor of the Xuanming Sect.

"Go see Qin Chuan and persuade him to help me obtain the dragon blood!"

The cloaked figure couldn't wait any longer and flew out of the Hidden Soldiers Valley, heading towards Luoyang.

At the top of Hidden Soldiers Valley, Yuan Tiangang watched his departing figure, his eyes filled with cold indifference.

Chapter 76 The Fake Li Appears, Yuan Tiangang's Real Concern

Luoyang, the headquarters of the Xuanming Sect.

Inside the council hall, all was silent.

Qin Chuan sat reclining on the throne, propping his head up with his hand, seemingly deep in thought.

Zhong Xiao Kui stood at the bottom of the steps, feeling uneasy.

In the Battle of Bianzhou, this Grand Preceptor truly defeated Li Cunxu within three days.

She lost the bet again.

Upon returning to Luoyang, the Grand Preceptor summoned her to the council hall.

It goes without saying that punishment is to be imposed.

Realizing that she had always misunderstood the Grand Preceptor, Zhong Xiao Kui was less resistant to the punishment.

She was even somewhat relieved that the beautiful Jiang girl named Chi Meng was wandering around other parts of the headquarters.

Otherwise, if others saw her getting spanked, she, Zhong Kui of the Xuanming Sect, would lose all face.

"Your Excellency, I, Xiao Kui, am willing to accept defeat..."

Zhong Xiao Kui knelt down on her own initiative, sticking out her buttocks, her movements much more practiced than last time.

"Lord Zhong Kui, do you really think I'm that psychopath Zhu Youzhen?"

Qin Chuan snapped out of his thoughts and smiled gently.

He made a bet with Zhong Xiao Kui, but it was just a joke.

Zhong Xiao Kui took it seriously, and seemed quite looking forward to it, which shows she does have some unusual fetishes.

"Then you..."

Zhong Xiao Kui got up, her face flushed.

She didn't understand what else this Grand Preceptor could talk to her about besides punishment.

"You probably don't know this yet, but Zhu Youwen gave you to me."

Qin Chuan's casual words were like a thunderbolt to Zhong Xiao Kui.

She had always regarded Ghost King Zhu Youwen as her master, so how could Zhu Youwen just betray her like that?

Zhong Xiao Kui naturally didn't believe it, but she also understood that given Qin Chuan's status, there was no reason for him to deceive her.
