One year later.
Lan Chang'an had turned 526 years old, and it had been thirteen years since his return to Great Yuan.
“True Monarch Xiang! The frontlines grow ever more brutal. The imperial family has sent another urgent secret letter, hoping you will take the field.”
Within the cave manor atop Yunlan Peak, the white-haired, white-robed Sect Master Xuefeng bowed deeply, his tone brimming with somber urgency.
“No need to rush.”
Lan Chang'an sat serenely like a fisherman at ease, and replied with a calm voice:
“The old patriarch of the imperial clan, the strongest among them, is nearing the end of his lifespan. It is they who should be anxious. Right now is a fleeting period of peak power for the Great Yu Kingdom. With three known mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators on the surface, they must devour the Great Luo Kingdom.”
At present, Great Yu’s war efforts had stalled, progress inching forward with difficulty. Lan Chang'an was certain that the final chapter had not yet arrived.
The imperial clan had yet to unveil their true trump cards or unleash their most formidable means.
Great Yu's royalty feared the cost of a pyrrhic victory, winning the war but at a loss so great it would cripple the nation. Their strategy aimed to preserve strength by having allies and internal factions do the heavy lifting, exhausting the enemy through attrition.
