Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

Cao Yanbing, too lazy to say anything more to Cao Cao, turned around and waved his hand, "Here, take this back. I don't want my body to be possessed by some demon one day..."

"Heh, Cao Yanbing, do you think you can get rid of its influence by not using the Dragon Core?"

Cao Cao snorted coldly, "From the moment you grasped the Dragon Core, your spirits were inextricably linked, and this connection cannot be severed at will!"

He sighed, turned around, and said, "I, Cao Mengde, don't have the habit of taking back what I give away. You'll still need its power in the future!"

Cao Yanbing stopped and glanced back at Cao Cao. "You said that the Dragon Core is the essence of the Ten Kings of Hell. The more frequently I use it, the stronger my bond with the Ten Kings of Hell will become..."

"If I'm not mistaken, the reason you're negotiating with me is because you can't forcibly take over my body right now; you can only gradually erode it through the dragon core."

“Once the erosion reaches a certain level, you won’t be sitting here talking to me like this anymore, right?”

Cao Cao was silent for a moment, then his face suddenly turned cold. "Cao Yanbing, do you think you're so smart?"

He slammed his hands on the table, "You've gotten to where you are today entirely thanks to me, Cao Mengde!"

"Do you think Xu Chu and the others will still obey your orders if I give the first command?"

"At that time, without the help of your guardian spirit, you will find it difficult to gain a foothold in the underworld. Once your enemies come knocking, you will be unable to protect anything..."

"Old man, are you in a hurry?"

Cao Yanbing sized up Cao Cao, revealing an expression that said, "It seems Xia Ling was right, you really do have ulterior motives towards me!"

"However, old man, don't forget what you said..."

"Ning to teach me to bear the people of the world, and to quit teaching the people of the world to bear me!"

Cao Cao's face darkened further upon hearing Cao Yanbing read those words aloud; he had probably already guessed what Cao Yanbing wanted to say.

“Old man, I, Cao Yanbing, cannot do something that harms myself for the benefit of others. You can take back my power, and I will respect the generals’ choices.”

"In short, even if my path to becoming king and hegemon falls apart, I, Cao Yanbing, will not let anyone take over my body and reap the rewards!"

After saying that, Cao Yanbing left the Ten Kings of Hell without looking back, leaving only Cao Cao with a face so gloomy it could drip water.

Cao Cao hated Xia Ling to death at this moment. If she hadn't spoken out of turn, Cao Yanbing wouldn't have realized something was wrong so quickly, and his plan would have proceeded smoothly.

He didn't believe that Cao Yanbing could suppress his ambition and refrain from using the power of the Flame God.

People!

Once you reach that position, you can't just stop whenever you want. Sooner or later, that kid will come back begging to you!

Cao Yanbing received news of Li Moxuan's return as soon as his consciousness returned to his body. When he arrived, he found that in addition to Li Moxuan, Xiang Kunlun was also seriously injured.

He carefully sensed the aura emanating from Xiang Kunlun and was surprised to find that the incredibly domineering spiritual power on him had disappeared, as had the aura of his guardian spirit.

Could it be that Xiang Kunlun's guardian spirit, Xiang Yu, died after encountering special circumstances?

At this moment, Xiang Kunlun paid no attention to Cao Yanbing; his gaze was fixed on Liu Yuchan, who was breathing weakly on the bed.

At this moment, Liu Yuchan was surrounded by the Seven Star Life-Sustaining Array, which consisted of seven Seven Star Lamps, and Zhuge Liang was constantly observing Liu Yuchan's physical condition.

"Liu Yuchan!"

Anxious, Xiang Kunlun was about to step forward when Zhuge Liang stopped him, saying, "Don't do anything rash. If the light goes out, Liu Yuchan will be powerless to save the situation..."

Xiang Kunlun understood what he meant. He gritted his teeth, stopped in his tracks, and asked coldly, "Who did this?"

"Iron Soldier..."

As soon as Zhuge Liang finished speaking, one of the seven lamps in the Seven Star Life-Sustaining Formation went out, and Liu Yuchan took the opportunity to suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.

This……

Zhuge Liang frowned. With the three lamps that had been extinguished earlier, only three Seven Star Lamps remained.

At this rate, if a way to stabilize Liu Yuchan's injuries cannot be found soon, Liu Yuchan may not even survive tonight.

"Hey, what's going on?"

Li Moxuan asked Cao Yanbing, "Even if the two of you with your Martial God Bodies can't defeat Tie Zu, you should be able to stall for time, right?"

Cao Yanbing shook his head. "That guy is stronger than I thought..."

From Tie Zu, Cao Yanbing understood for the first time the gap between divine martial spirits and human martial spirits; they were simply not even in the same league.

Even though both he and Liu Yuchan were Martial God Bodies who had unleashed their full power, they were utterly vulnerable in the face of the Divine Martial Spirit.

It seems the Iron Pawn is still too overpowered...

Li Moxuan stepped forward, past the extinguished Seven Star Lamp, "Let me see what's going on..."

Seeing that Zhuge Liang did not stop him, Li Moxuan grabbed Liu Yuchan's wrist and channeled his spiritual energy into Liu Yuchan's body to sense his condition.

Just as Li Moxuan's spiritual power entered Liu Yuchan's body, a powerful sword aura filled with killing intent slashed out, seemingly trying to strike Li Moxuan in the direction of the spiritual power.

Fortunately, Li Mo released his grip in time, preventing the sword energy from flowing into his body through the spiritual energy...

Seeing this, Xiang Kunlun hurriedly asked, "How is he? Is there any hope?"

Li Moxuan shook his head slightly and sighed, "Given his current physical condition, he definitely won't live to see dawn tomorrow, and all I can do is try to wake him up from his coma..."

He walked over to Xiang Kunlun, placed his hand on his shoulder and patted him, "Take advantage of the time we still have tonight and say goodbye to him properly!"

After saying that, Li Moxuan turned and walked out of the room, afraid that he would lose his composure if he stayed any longer.

Although the sword energy left by Tie Zu was very powerful, it was not enough in front of Li Moxuan. As long as the power of the Void Divine Pearl was used, Liu Yuchan's physical condition could be reversed to the state before the battle.

The reason he chose to only temporarily conceal it from Xiang Kunlun was because he understood that people only learn to cherish things after they have lost them.

Take Bei Luoshimen, for example. After losing his daughter Bai Shuier, he realized what was most important to him. He left the special forces and came to Zhenhun Street to find the spirit she had become.

The same applies to Xiang Kunlun; perhaps this life-or-death separation will allow him to truly let go of his ambitions...

Chapter 196: Why don't you give it a try?

"Cao Yanbing, what are you doing here?"

In a corridor, Xia Ling found Cao Yanbing leaning against the corridor railing with his arms crossed.

"Xia Ling, do you think that could be your long-lost sister?"

elder sister?

Xia Ling followed Cao Yanbing's gaze and saw Xi He sitting alone in the pavilion not far away. Her face immediately darkened. "Cao Yanbing, you're a pervert! You were spying on someone!"

"Where did I peep? I wasn't hiding..."

"Hurry up! Honglian sent a message with a spiritual message; we've been looking for you for ages!"

"Don't pull me..."

Xia Ling dragged Cao Yanbing away, and Xi He naturally noticed this scene, a faint smile appearing on her face.

How are you feeling?

A voice came from behind Xihe. Without turning around, Xihe knew it was Li Moxuan. She pursed her lips and said, "I already said I'm not Xia Ling anymore, so what feelings could I possibly have?"

I just found it quite interesting...

"What are you thinking about? I'm asking if you've adapted to life in this world..."

Upon hearing this, Xihe's expression turned slightly embarrassed. "Ahem, it's very good. Everyone is very kind to me, and I've already adapted to life here..."

"If that's really the case, would you be sitting here alone?"

Li Moxuan sat down next to her, leaning back in his chair. "If you have something on your mind, just say it. It's not good to keep it bottled up inside..."

Xihe was silent for a moment, then parted her pink lips slightly, "I'm just a little confused about the meaning of my existence..."

That's it?

Li Moxuan shook his head and shrugged. "That's simple. You exist solely for me, don't you?"

She is the complete form that she created by combining Jin Lingzi and Xia Ling, so there's nothing wrong with saying that.

"Existed for you?"

Xihe frowned slightly, turned her head to look at Li Moxuan, crossed her arms, and looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Speaking of which, someone promised to treat me to a meal, but they still haven't kept their word..."

"Cough cough..."

Li Moxuan coughed lightly, "I just didn't have time. It's not like I couldn't afford to ask you..."

"I do not care!"

Xihe stood up, hands on her hips, and said angrily, "I want to eat, right now! Otherwise... otherwise I'll go on strike!"

"Okay, okay, okay..."

Li Moxuan had no choice but to stand up. "I know a restaurant near Shuiyun Street. Let's invite Shui'er and the others to go together!"

"Okay, let's go quickly!"

Xihe grabbed Li Moxuan's wrist and pulled him away. Even though she had advanced in cultivation, she was still a foodie. She just didn't know if the restaurant's food reserves were enough for her to eat her fill.

"Idiot, you're going the wrong way!"

"Oh……"

……

Shuiyun Street, inside a temporary guest room.

"What? The Greedy Camp has already started a war with the Hall of Heroes?"

After hearing Honglian's words, Cao Yanbing felt a bit overwhelmed, as he had just witnessed Xiang Kunlun being brought back by Li Moxuan.

The leader of the Hall of Heroes was rescued by the leader of the Greedy Camp, and then the Greedy Camp went to attack the Soul Town controlled by the Hall of Heroes.

"Yes! Didn't you receive the message?"

Guo Xiaoyao's voice came through the spirit message, "Our current information is that the Greedy Camp has mobilized nearly a million troops to attack the area controlled by the Hall of Heroes from three sides..."

"I wonder if Xiang Kunlun will personally get involved. If he fights Li Moxuan, it will definitely be a sight to behold! He might even be able to make a fortune from this opportunity!"

"It's too late..."

Yan Fengzha spoke quietly, "Xiang Kunlun is currently in Shuiyun Street, and he is seriously injured, having lost an arm. He was brought back by Li Moxuan..."

"What? The battle is over?"
