I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 250 - 15: Catastrophic Disaster Shakes the World

In the end, King Chu Mi Ying died, and the Chu Kingdom was destroyed, but the waters of Dongting flooded Danyang, plunging the entire Great Han Dynasty into great chaos.

Ultimately, who won and who lost, Lu Chengfeng couldn’t see clearly, but he realized the immense danger looming.

"Liu Wu is likely the reincarnation of the Red Dragon; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to elevate his strength to such a terrifying level in such a short time. His cultivation surpasses mine despite my advantages; if he’s not the True Dragon reincarnated, it would be truly bizarre."

"The Immortal behind Liu Wu originally intended to unify the South with his hand, and then Liu Wu would inevitably advance rapidly to reclaim his True Dragon body, marching to the foothills of Yun Cang Mountain."

"And Xiang Qingchi, on the other hand, is the reincarnation of the Cyan Dragon. If not for my appearance, Youdu would have undoubtedly swept through the Northern Lands with dominion, and when Xiang Qingchi returns, he would become something similar to Liu Wu."

"The two of them, one in the south, one in the north, each holding half the realm."

"And the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect is in the Central State. Behind them, there is possibly also an Immortal."

"With the Southern situation temporarily paused, the North is likely to become the focus of their conflicts next."

"Previously, the old monk chose me as a pawn to counter Xiang Qingchi, while grasping the remnant soul of the Red Dragon to restrain the South."

"If I accepted the White Lotus, then I would become akin to King Chu Mi Ying... And now that person would be... Zhu Yuxian!"

Lu Chengfeng thought of this and was startled, realizing that perhaps the Northern conflict had silently begun without his noticing.

"Xiang Qingchi suddenly blocking the gate, and blocking it for months, my Primordial Spirit warned me of a very strong sense of crisis, yet I still couldn’t detect the source of the threat."

"Could it be that those behind the scenes have already made their move?"

He furrowed his brow, "The old monk placed a bet on Zhu Yuxian, and he will certainly act this time, clashing through Zhu Yuxian with the forces behind Xiang Qingchi."

"The Southern war’s critical point lies in the battle between King Chu Mi Ying and the Han Crown Prince Liu Wu. Mi Ying is clearly not Liu Wu’s match; the deeper confrontation behind this lies in Dongting Lake."

"So if those behind the scenes were to act at Yun Cang Mountain, where would they choose as their entry point?"

Although Lu Chengfeng hadn’t refined much of the Immortal’s gifts, he began to try viewing from an Immortal’s perspective how to plan and place pieces on the board.

"There are no large rivers or lakes near Yun Cang Mountain, only mountain ranges, of course... and the suppressed Red Dragon beneath the mountains..."

"What will they do?"

"Red Dragon... could it be fire?"

Lu Chengfeng pondered hard, still unable to come up with a clear train of thought.

"Red Dragon, mountain ranges, water, fire..."

He took a deep breath, "Regardless of the plans those behind the scenes have, they need to proceed through Xiang Qingchi; she is an extremely crucial piece on the board."

"As long as I can successfully wield the Love Token technique on her, I can completely reverse the current situation."

"I must seize time quickly; mastering the Kun Roc Wings is imperative, and the sooner, the better."

Lu Chengfeng settled his mind, no longer concerning himself with the external storm, dedicating all his energy to magic and cultivation.

A month later, to quell the escalating internal and external chaos of the Great Han Dynasty, King Han had no choice but to order the removal of Liu Wu from the position of Crown Prince, appointing him as Prince of Danyang, responsible for saving the people, quelling disasters, and cleansing sins.

The South was united, but expansion had to cease, granting Central State and the Northern Lands a rare reprieve.

With winter gradually passing, spring arrived, all things revived, and the climate began to warm.

The snow on Yun Cang Mountain also gradually melted away.

Meanwhile, Lu Chengfeng spent the entire winter under the Trapped Dragon Abyss.
