Chapter 184: Parting Lovebirds

The news of the neighboring battlefield reached Golden Cloud Valley, and then transferred by letter to Wu Qi Mountain, with at least half a year's delay in between.

Being able to receive this letter meant that at that time, Zhao Siyao's life was not in danger.

The letter relayed Zhao Siyao's experience of arriving at the battlefield of Beacon Country for more than a year.

Zhao Siyao was in charge of the logistic defense, and during that time, there was a small encounter, but the overall situation was safe and sound.

The letter was written in a lighthearted manner.

But Lu Chang'an understood that in actual life and death battles, casualties and cruelty are inevitable.

However, a great cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment has far more combat power than those in the middle and early stages, and the survival rate is a bit higher.

The letter also mentioned Zhang Tieshan.

Zhang Tieshan was once chased by a False Pill Realist and escaped.

As for Lin Lu, who was caught in the battlefield of Beacon Kingdom two years ago, no trace of him has been found so far.

Zhao Siyao's speculation was that he was either dead or his corpse was nowhere to be found.

Or he was captured alive by an enemy force and planted forbidden restraints to be used as a slave to labor in dangerous areas such as underground mines and the forbidden land of the abyss.

"Counting up, it's been three or four years since the Liang Clan went on their expedition. Apart from the rapid progress in the early stages, the advancement has been slow since then, and it can only be said to be profitable."

"In the past three years, there have been no twists and turns, as if a pool of stagnant water is calm."

Lu Changan frowned slightly, his heart was vaguely uneasy.

This originated from the sense of smell experienced in the previous two lives.

At certain times, the apparent calmness did not mean true balance and stability.

The Beacon Country's cultivation world is deep and profound, and faced with Liang, a weak country, taking advantage of the situation, it didn't make a strong counterattack.

At the end of the letter, Zhao Tan'er made a suggestion of "hating iron and steel" and said:

"Uncle Lu, you are a man of the world, you are a man of the world. "Uncle Lu, one can be a turtle for a while, but not for a lifetime."

"If I were you, I should bravely follow the master, go to the front line of the battlefield to fight side by side, and live and die together, this life has no regrets. In this way, you will also win a ray of hope for yourself to achieve a real person."

Lu Chang'an was dumbfounded and put away the letter.

He wrote back to Zhao Tan'er, claiming that he was not worthy of Fairy Zhao, and that he did not want to drag his feet on the front line.

At least in the eyes of outsiders, this is self-awareness.

"The Golden Cloud Valley's news channel, being relatively single, makes it difficult to involve the true upper echelons."

Lu Chang'an pondered.

......

A few days later.

He left Wu Qi Mountain and flew south for most of a day, arriving at a law enforcement stronghold of the Li Huo Palace.

Song Wenshu was the deputy head of this stronghold. The head master is a False Pill Realist who rarely cares about specific matters and usually doesn't stay here.

Song Wenshu's background is not bad, and he holds the real power to manage the surrounding area.

In a stone hall in the stronghold of the Fire Palace, Song Wenshu personally received Lu Chang'an.

Lu Chang'an came to the door with a small gift.

It wasn't the first time he had come over, and since the battle of the Black Night Fisherman, the relationship between the two sides had instead grown closer.

Song Wenshu had no idea that the murderer of Senior Brother Zhuo was close at hand.

The status and position of the two existed a class gap in the Immortal Cultivation World. Normally, they belong to different circles and are difficult to integrate.

The reason why the two sides were able to have a friendship was not only Lu Changan's talisman master skills and uncommon strength.

The fact that they were able to talk to each other and keep up with each other's horizons was also an important reason.

Otherwise, the cognitive level is different, a few words are seen through, immediately fall into the inferior.

After chatting for a while, Lu Chang'an brought the topic to the neighboring battlefield.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, who is so leisurely, would actually care about the situation of the war on the frontline."

Song Wenshu was surprised.

"My two Foundation Establishment buddies who have been friends for hundreds of years in the Golden Cloud Valley are now on the battlefield, with very little news......"

Lu Chang'an was prepared and sighed.

As the only YuanYing level power in Liang's cultivation world, LiFire Palace is definitely the dominant player in this war.

One of Song Wenshu's elders is a high-ranking member of the Li Huo Palace and may know some more confidential information. "Fellow Daoist Lu doesn't need to worry. On the frontline battlefield, our side has always had the advantage, and the casualties are lower than the Beacon Kingdom."

Song Wenshu looked confident.

"Furthermore, my Liang clan is not forced to take over the enemy's territory. The focus is on scavenging materials, including scarce strategic resources, gongfu inheritance, and so on."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chang'an realized the Liang Sect's war intent.

Capturing the enemy's territory, and then guarding it, is too costly.

The cost is too high. They want to plunder the land for short-term benefits and to enhance the heritage of their own country.

When conditions permit, they will only take over part of the spiritual vein resources.

"Could it be that I am overthinking this?"

Lu Chang'an understood that if a war was waged purely with the goal of plundering, it would usually not last more than ten years.

......

While the two of them were talking, a cold voice came from outside, vaguely penetrating through the barricade.

"Song Wenshu! Dare you come out for a chat!"

"A late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Departing Flame Palace, is he worried about a challenge from a casual cultivator like Jiang?"

Lu Chang'an felt that voice was a bit familiar.

"Senior Brother Song, Jiang Yichen is here again."

A Foundation Establishment stage law enforcement cultivator walked in quickly and asked Song Wenshu what to do about it.

"Let him go."

Song Wenshu's face was slightly unnatural as he waved his hand.

"I've made fellow Daoist Lu laugh."

Song Wenshu apologized, setting up a layer of enhanced soundproof boundary.

"Jiang Yichen? Fellow Daoist Song has a grudge against him?"

Lu Chang'an was surprised.

Jiang Yichen, from the Jiang Family, one of the seven great families, but was expelled from the family.

This person has extraordinary qualifications and is a dan master, once came to Wu Qi Mountain to compete for the peak master.

He is in love with Shen Bixin, the daughter of Tengxing Chamber of Commerce.

"Just a little misunderstanding."

Song Wenshu smiled bitterly and explained:

"Mister Song and Miss Shen fell in love at first sight, and with the blessing of both elders, they were engaged to be married. However, that fellow Daoist Jiang thought that I had swept in and used dirty tricks."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chang'an couldn't help but be stunned.

Some years ago, he had heard that Shen Bixin's family did not agree with Jiang Yichen and Shen Bixin being together.

Jiang Yichen and Shen Bixin had deep feelings for each other.

Back then, Jiang Yichen had to fight to the death to protect Shen Bixin and sent her to Wu Qi Mountain to save her.

Unexpectedly years later, Shen Bixin was engaged to Song Wenshu.

"Fellow Daoist Song needn't be concerned about this matter if he's a good man and married in the open."

Lu Chang'an was not sure how much of this was going on, and was not in a position to comment on whether it was right or wrong.

"Fellow Daoist Lu and Fellow Daoist Jiang also know each other, have time to help persuade a little. Song is thinking of his fiancée, so he didn't bother with him in general."

Song Wenshu's tone sank slightly as he said this.

"In the future, surely."

Lu Chang'an superficially coped.

That Jiang Yichen wasn't a simple person either, he wouldn't interfere in this matter.

......

Half an hour later.

Lu Chang'an left the stronghold of the Leaving Fire Palace.

Flying out a few hundred miles.

The sound of breaking air came from his side, and a late stage Foundation Establishment recluse approached quickly, intercepting Lu Changan's path.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, what are you doing?"

Lu Chang'an was puzzled and looked at the handsome and feminine purple-robed man with sword brows and starry eyes in front of him.

"Lu Chang'an, I thought you were an uncontested, clean-cut loose cultivator. I didn't expect to be in the company of a despicable person like Song Wenshu."

Jiang Yichen's eyes blossomed into a chilling aura as he coldly rebuked.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, watch your words! Mister Lu is on normal terms with Fellow Daoist Song and doesn't understand what you're talking about."

Lu Chang'an's face was in disbelief, and he said in a deep voice.

Jiang Yichen exuded powerful spiritual pressure, his face flushed with cold fury, staring at Lu Changan's face, as if he wanted to see a break in it.

If Lu Chang'an revealed his face, he might have the intention to strike.

"In order to obtain Bixin, Song Wenshu used dirty tricks to separate our relationship as a third party. In the end, this thief, relying on the background of the Leaving Fire Palace, engaged Bi Xin in marriage......."

Jiang Yichen's pupils were flooded with blood, and his icy tone was filled with indignation.

"Is there any ironclad proof of what Fellow Daoist Jiang said?" Lu Changan insighted that Jiang Yichen's emotions were unstable.

The woman he had loved for decades had become someone else's fiancée. It is impossible for any normal man to be indifferent.

That is to say, Song Wenshu has a deep background and strength.

If it was an ordinary Foundation Cultivator, I'm afraid he would have been killed by Jiang Yichen.

It was rumored that Jiang Yichen had killed his adoptive mother and destroyed his father's cultivation in his early years.

"Although there is no ironclad evidence, Jiang Mou has seen Song Wenshu's ill intentions from various clues. Importantly, Jiang Mou concluded that this person was never genuinely fond of Bixin."

Jiang Yichen said with certainty.

"Well, Fellow Daoist Jiang may have a point."

Lu Chang'an superficially responded.

What happened to Jiang Yichen might be worthy of sympathy, but what was said was also one-sided and mostly subjective.

From the past rumors, it seems that this person is prone to extremes in his temperament.

"Lu mou still have business......"

Lu Chang'an was too lazy to get involved and got up to leave.

"Fellow Daoist Lu wait, Jiang Mou has a favor to ask."

Jiang Yichen reached out to stop Lu Changan.

Whew! Boom!

The powerful mana of the late stage of Foundation Establishment rolled up a swirling wind of flying sand, which was blocked by Lu Changan's body shield.

The depth of Jiang Yuchen's magic power was not inferior to Song Wenshu.

Lu Chang'an's brows stared up, "What is the matter with Fellow Daoist Jiang?"

If not for the friendship in the past, Jiang Yichen's rude behavior, he can be regarded as a robbing cultivator, launching a "self-defense counterattack".

"I hope that Fellow Daoist Lu and Fairy Shifu can make peace and ask Bixin to come out and meet me to clarify the misunderstanding."

Jiang Yichen bowed and pleaded. Jiang Yichen bowed and pleaded.

Lu Changan secretly slandered: Shen Bixin is not even willing to meet you, what's there to clarify?

"What if I refuse?" Lu Chang'an said without moving.

Jiang Yichen straightened his body, his cold star-like deep eyes, sizing him up, confidently saying:

"Fellow Daoist Lu will agree!"

Sleepy and heavy, no more for the night of the 3rd.
