The Crown Prince is dead?

Li Guangyuan couldn’t believe his ears. He was stunned for a moment, then he grabbed onto the soldier’s clothes and shouted, “What did you just say? Who … who died?”

“The Crown Prince is dead!! General! The Crown Prince is dead!!”

The soldier shouted at the top of his lungs.

This roar shocked all the soldiers present!

Everyone stared blankly at the soldier, their faces filled with shock.

When the two countries fought, one country, Crown Prince, died! How shocking was this? If this were to spread out, how terrified would people be?

Logically speaking, the Crown Prince should have been taken hostage by the enemy, but Jiang Country had let the Crown Prince die. What was going on? What does this mean? This probably meant that the Jiang Kingdom no longer needed the Crown Prince as a hostage, right?

The soldiers panicked. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion. The successive defeats and tragic news had completely wiped out their confidence.

They even began to doubt whether they could defeat Jiang Country. Now that the city was occupied, Jiang Country was like a tiger, slowly devouring the land of Han Country. However, Han Country did not do anything and instead expelled the refugees from Han Country.

“You must be lying to me!! How did the Crown Prince die?!”

Li Guangyuan naturally didn’t believe it. He pushed the soldier away and shouted, “Don’t believe it. This is a rumor. Jiang Country must have deliberately sent him here to spread this rumor with the intention of disrupting the morale of the army!”

“General, how dare this subordinate do this? What this subordinate said is true. The people of Jiangsu have already sent people to return Crown Prince’s body. I believe … I believe that Crown Prince’s body will be returned soon …”

“Drag it down, kill it!! Kill it!!”

Li Guangyuan couldn’t believe it at all. Hearing the soldier’s voice, he was more like an enraged lion roaring.

The first few Lingxuan Emperor existences directly stepped forward and raised their swords to slash.

But at this moment, the soldiers shouted again.

“What’s that??”

“Over there… General! Look over there!”

Everyone followed his gaze, only to see a group of people walking towards him in the distant snowstorm.

These people were all wearing gray armor, especially conspicuous in the snowstorm. At a glance, there were about thirty people. In the middle of the group, there was a huge wooden coffin. They carried the coffin and quickly came over. They stopped a hundred meters away from the crowd and unloaded the coffin.

“It’s from Jiang Country!!”

A soldier shouted loudly, and everyone immediately surrounded the twenty plus people like a pot exploding.

These Jiang people were naturally frightened. They hurriedly retreated and shouted, “Stop! Don’t fight! We’re just here to give them away!”

“Giving it to someone? Giving it to who?”

“Let’s take them down first!!”

The soldiers of the Han Kingdom cried out, their faces filled with anger.

Seeing that the situation was critical, the Jiang Country soldiers did not hesitate and immediately lifted the coffin lid.

Clang!

In an instant, everyone’s attention was focused on the coffin.

Inside was an ice-cold corpse, the Crown Prince Jiao She.

His soul had long dissipated, and there was a big hole in his chest. He could see his frozen organs. If he looked closely, he could see that all the blood vessels and Qi channels in his body had been shattered, as if he had been struck by a violent profound energy.

Li Guangyuan pushed the soldiers away and rushed to the coffin. When he saw the people inside, he was stunned.

Not only him, but the other soldiers were also stunned.

Seeing this, how could those soldiers of Jiang Country not seize this opportunity? Everyone coincidentally fled in the direction of Jiang Country.

“Capture them!!”

Li Guangyuan reacted and immediately shouted.

The experts of Lingxuan Emperor immediately attacked, and with a flash of their figures, the twenty plus soldiers of Jiang Country were all captured.

The soldiers of Jiang Country were clearly frightened, their entire bodies trembling as they looked at Li Guangyuan who was walking over in horror.

“How did the Crown Prince die?”

Li Guangyuan walked over and grabbed a soldier from Jiang Country, roaring angrily.

“He… He committed suicide…”

“Impossible!!!”

“Your Crown Prince… did commit suicide. He… was afraid that we would use him as a hostage to threaten your country… so… he committed suicide… We were ordered by the Marshal to… specially return his corpse to you…”

The soldier was so scared that his words were intermittent.

However, the more Li Guangyuan listened, the more irritated and irritated he became.

“Kill!! Kill them all!! Kill them all!!”

He roared, losing his rationality as a general.

“Slow!”

Right at this moment, a low voice came out.

Li Guangyuan looked over, only to see Su Yun walking towards him.

“What are you doing? What? Do you still want to interfere?”

Li Guangyuan clenched his fists and said.

“The two armies are fighting. Don’t you understand this rule? They are only here to return the corpse of the Crown Prince. It’s useless for you to kill them! Besides, they have a lot of information in their mouths. Isn’t it a pity to kill them?”

Said Su Yundan.

“What do you want to do?” Li Guangyuan said angrily.

Su Yun ignored him and directly grabbed the soldier and asked, “Let me ask you, did your Marshal dispose of your Crown Prince’s corpse?”

“This … I don’t know, but Crown Prince Jiao She did die in the Marshal’s barracks. He shattered all his Qi channels and even his soul was self-destructed … When we discovered him, he was already dead.”

“In that case, the Crown Prince’s possessions are most likely in the hands of your Marshal.”

Su Yun rubbed his chin and thought.

The man didn’t say anything.

But Li Guangyuan already knew what Su Yun was asking.

However, he did not stop them. Instead, he sneered and said, “Most likely, if you want to obtain Dragon Ming Pearl, I think you still have to go find Jiang Country!”

Su Yun glanced at him and did not say anything. He directly turned around and fled into the horizon.

Li Guangyuan did not stop him in the slightest. He allowed him to leave. After Su Yun left, he turned around and said to the soldiers beside him, “Capture all of these Jiang people. Besides, the news of Crown Prince’s death is temporarily forbidden to be revealed. I will report it to His Majesty before making a decision!”

“Yes, General.”

“Take the Crown Prince’s corpse back to the city.”

Li Guangyuan said in a hoarse voice.

He believed that the mood of all the soldiers on the scene would not be any more complicated and sour than his. The death of the Crown Prince seemed to be a sign of something. Not only did he not dare to believe it, he also could not believe it.

…

…

After leaving Valley City, Su Yun did not walk far, but lingered at the edge of Valley City.

Although Su Yun did not like Jiao She, his dedication was still quite admirable. However, how serious was the consequences of his death? The entire country would be shocked. The king of the Han Kingdom would also fight to the death with the Jiang Kingdom. At that time, the Jiang Han Realm would truly be in chaos.

After wandering around for a while, Su Yun met a few Ice City rogue cultivators and asked about the route of Jiang Country before heading straight away.

It was better to find out the whereabouts of Dragon Ming Pearl’s component first. Before the war started, one had to lock onto the location first. Otherwise, once the war broke out and the situation became chaotic, it would be difficult to retrieve the component again.

Stepping on the flying sword, Su Yun flew all the way towards Jiang Country.

However, compared to the two countries, Su Yun obviously liked the climate of Jiang Country more. Although there were more rivers and seas here, the temperature was not as cold as that of Han Country.

After jumping over the Ice City, climbing over several high mountains, and crossing two vast plains, Su Yun finally arrived at the border city of Jiang Country: Yang City.

Yang City was located in a valley, surrounded by high mountains. Furthermore, these mountains were covered with barriers and formations. The entire city was like a watchtower, difficult to fall. One had to know that the terrain had little impact on the Spirit Cultivator War. Only the strength of the barrier and the power of the formation seal could determine the victory or defeat of a siege.

Bing Cheng was only stationed in the vanguard forces of Jiang Country, and their large forces were all gathered in Yang Cheng.

Before Su Yun could reach Yang City, he had already smelled the terrifying profound energy spilling out of Yang City.

The soldiers didn’t practice. They just sat cross-legged on the ground and meditated. From afar, they could see soldiers sitting cross-legged all over the mountains, densely packed everywhere.

Su Yun rummaged through his space bag and found the Thousand Transformations Bone Surface that he hadn’t used for a long time before. He transformed into a soldier of the Jiang Country, then used the Saint Imperial Battle Cloak to mask his aura to modify his cultivation, and then swaggered in like this.

The soldier standing guard only glanced at him and did not say anything, much less stop him.

Su Yun walked all the way.

“Hey, which battalion are you from? Don’t you know it’s time to cultivate? Hurry up and meditate for me!”

An officer saw Su Yun walking into the city and immediately became angry, shouting loudly.

“My lord, I sent the corpse of Crown Prince Jiao She from the Frost Kingdom. I have to go back and resume orders for Marshal.” Su Yun said. The person he had transformed was one of the twenty soldiers from Jiang Country.

When the officer heard this, he carefully looked at Su Yun before shouting, “Oh, so it’s you brat … What? You brat is back? Sigh, isn’t there more than twenty brothers going with you? Why did you come back alone?”

“I’ll talk to you about this after I report it to Marshal.”

Su Yun was too lazy to argue with this talkative officer. After saying a word, he directly ran into the city.

However, after taking a few steps, he suddenly realized that he didn’t know the way at all, so he pulled the officer back.

“Motherf*cker, what are you doing?”

“My lord, I’m a little nervous. It’s better for you to follow me to see Marshal.”

“Look at your order! Forget it, come with me.”

The officer snorted and walked forward quickly.

With this officer leading the way, Su Yun’s path was smooth and helpless, straight into Yang City. After walking for about an incense stick of time, the two finally arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion in the center of Yang City.

The officer approached the City Lord’s Mansion and immediately shouted.

“Military report! Urgent report! We have an urgent report to report to Lord Marshal!!”

The guard at the entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion glanced at the two of them and said indifferently, “Wait.”

After saying that, he drilled into the manor.
