Chapter 213: Chapter 141: Your Majesty, Why Are You Rebelling?

’My current Cultivation speed is already on par with an average Celestial Spirit Root... and yet the Young Master still thinks I’m too slow.’

Wang Xiao said calmly, "Don’t compare yourself to these people; it will only hold you back. You should be comparing yourself to the Immortal Emperors of the Four Great Sacred Lands."

Shangguan Xiyue’s mouth fell slightly open.

’An Immortal Emperor... a being who can conquer an entire realm, dominating the Cultivation Immortality Realm for tens of thousands of years without a rival. How could I possibly compare? Is the Young Master thinking too highly of me?’

Wang Xiao said lightly, "Cultivation Immortality is about this: ’Defy and become immortal; fail and remain mortal.’ If you lack even that much ambition, then what’s the point of cultivating? The *Nether Moon Destruction Technique Record* I passed on to you is a Technique that points directly to the Origin Great Dao. You must properly comprehend its profound meaning. In the future, it might not be impossible for you to become an Immortal Emperor."

A jolt went through Shangguan Xiyue’s heart upon hearing his words, and she clenched her fists.

"Yes, I will work hard!"

In truth, the only reason she cultivated so hard was to avoid being left too far behind by her Young Master.

As long as she could stay by his side, becoming an Immortal Emperor was irrelevant.

Wang Xiao said no more, speaking lightly, "Let’s go. If we win this battle, we can capture the Witchcraft Gu Sovereign and annihilate the Witchcraft Gu Country in one fell swoop!"

Over the past ten years, the clashes between Wenchang Country and the Witchcraft Gu Country had grown increasingly frequent.

Because Wang Xiao had raided several of the Witchcraft Gu Country’s Spiritual Ore mines and Spiritual Fields, he had completely disrupted their strategic deployment.

This had caused the Witchcraft Gu Country to gradually lose ground in their war against Wenchang Country.

After dozens of battles, large and small, the Witchcraft Gu Country’s decline was undeniable, and they were forced into constant retreat.

Even when the Witchcraft Gu Immortal Sect backing the country sent several Human Immortals, it was to no avail.

After all, the Vast Immortal Sect behind Wenchang Country also had Human Immortals.

Therefore, the final outcome of the war between the two nations still rested on the armies led by Peak Body Cultivators.

Furthermore, the Witchcraft Gu Country was not the only nation under the Witchcraft Gu Immortal Sect’s control.

After the Witchcraft Gu Country lost one Spiritual Ore mine and Spiritual Field after another, the Witchcraft Gu Immortal Sect had, in fact, all but abandoned them.

If they could win this battle at Witchcraft Gu Pass, it wouldn’t be difficult to march into the Witchcraft Gu Country, capture the Witchcraft Gu Sovereign, and end the war.

「Before long.」

Wang Xiao and Shangguan Xiyue arrived before the main camp.

The entire camp was a dense, dark sea of people, a full one million strong. The army stretched for countless miles.

A potent aura of blood and vitality surged to the heavens, so thick it was almost tangible.

Even a Cultivator at the Spiritual Embryo Realm would face certain death if they entered such a murderous battle formation.

This was a battle-hardened army, and it had never known defeat.

"Your Highness, the army is assembled and ready to march at any moment!"

Seeing Wang Xiao approach, Xu Zhenshu cupped his fist in a salute.

Over the past ten years, Wang Xiao had led the army on campaign after campaign, winning every battle without a single defeat.

The number of men under his command had grown from an initial five hundred to five thousand, then fifty thousand, and now to a million!

It could be said that Wang Xiao’s current status in the army had already surpassed that of Xu Zhenshu, the Marshal.

Even Xu Zhenshu himself was utterly convinced of Wang Xiao’s abilities and followed his every command.

After all, by following Wang Xiao, not only had his forces been greatly expanded, but his own strength had also reached a new level.

In his decades of military service, he had never fought such a well-supplied war!

Moreover, during his daily Cultivation, a mere word of guidance from Wang Xiao was enough to bring him a moment of great clarity, as if parting the Bright Moon to see the clear sky.

He even vaguely felt that he was about to break through the bottleneck at the Peak of Body Cultivation and reach an unprecedented Realm.

He had finally come to understand that this Ninth Prince was anything but simple.

Naturally, he no longer harbored any thoughts of disloyalty.

"Let’s go! Today, we capture the Witchcraft Gu Sovereign and annihilate the Witchcraft Gu Country!"

"For every enemy killed, a reward of ten taels of silver!"

Wang Xiao waved his arm, his voice carrying for miles.

His powerful presence galvanized every soldier.

In an instant, a roar like a landslide and a tsunami erupted from the army.

"Capture the Witchcraft Gu Sovereign, annihilate the Witchcraft Gu Country!"

"KILL! KILL! KILL!"

TRAMP! TRAMP! TRAMP!

The great army kicked up clouds of dust as it marched towards the capital of the Witchcraft Gu Country.

Just then, a graceful figure flew over, descending from the sky and landing beside Wang Xiao.

The woman was dressed in white robes, unstained by dust. Her aura was somewhat cold, but her eyes curved into a smile.

She looked at Wang Xiao and said, "Lao Jiu, I truly never would have guessed. In just ten short years, you’ve become a force to be reckoned with. You can take the top credit for this annihilation of the Witchcraft Gu Country."

This person was none other than the Sixth Princess, Liu Yuzhen.

For this war to annihilate the Witchcraft Gu Country, the Vast Immortal Sect had naturally sent Cultivators to provide support from the shadows in case of any accidents.

Liu Yuzhen was one of them.

Of course, besides Liu Yuzhen, Wang Xiao also sensed several other powerful fluctuations of Spiritual Power.

’They must be Cultivators at the Human Immortal Realm!’

Wang Xiao said, "I merely contributed a small effort; it’s nothing much. Annihilating the Witchcraft Gu Country this time is mostly thanks to the coordinated efforts of all the officers and soldiers."

Liu Yuzhen replied lightly, "You were just lucky. If it weren’t for that black-robed robber who appeared out of nowhere and plundered most of the Witchcraft Gu Country’s Spiritual Ores and Spiritual Fields, causing the Witchcraft Gu Immortal Sect to abandon them, your wish to annihilate the Witchcraft Gu Country would have been harder than climbing to the heavens."

In her heart, she felt a secret admiration for that black-robed robber.

A single person, risking pursuit by Immortal Kings, had forcefully emptied the Witchcraft Gu Country’s Spiritual Ore mines and Spiritual Fields.

Such courage and daring were rare even in the Cultivation Immortality Realm.

Moreover, it was said their strength was also extraordinary; they had even managed to escape an ambush by two Immortal Kings.
