Chapter 737: Chapter 313: Long Time No See, Little Prince

The three of them traveled by Sword Flight.

They set off from Wolf Valley Pass and reached the national border in less than half a day.

The two armies were in a standoff, both sides on high alert. In the distance, cultivators were locked in magical combat in the sky.

The soldiers of both armies watched without blinking.

Chu Lingguang did not see any sign of Andenuk.

The man wasn’t always on the front lines. He only appeared when a cultivator from Great Yuan specifically challenged him. Usually, he stayed in the rear, and sightings of him were rare.

In recent years, Andenuk had become a legend.

His Heavenly Mirror seemed like a Divine Artifact, leaving countless cultivators feeling suffocated.

Some even considered Andenuk the number one expert below the Foundation Establishment Realm. No one dared to provoke him lightly.

"BOOM!"

At that moment, a battle between a Great Yuan Cultivator and a Turkic Cultivator was in full swing.

The Great Yuan Cultivator had the head of a human and the tail of a snake.

Apparently, when awakening his Spiritual Root, he had snatched a strange vine from a Snake Demon, which was how he had ended up with his half-human, half-demon appearance.

This form, having merged with the power of a Demon Beast, actually provided a great advantage in combat.

And this Great Yuan Cultivator was a prime example.

When the Turkic Cultivator blocked his Magical Treasure and Flying Sword, the snake tail unexpectedly shot out a venomous barb, striking his opponent in the chest and knocking him out of the sky.

"BANG!"

The Turkic Cultivator crashed to the ground.

"HAHAHA!"

"Well done!"

The morale of the Great Yuan Soldiers surged. They had been desperate for a victory.

Although the half-human, half-snake cultivator had only defeated an opponent at the fifth layer of Qi Refining—his own cultivation level—the victory was incredibly significant.

Beaming, he flew back from the sky.

The Turkic Cultivators didn’t give chase. There were rules to cultivator duels; if they wanted to fight him in succession, they needed his consent.

The half-human, half-snake cultivator knew he didn’t have the strength to challenge a second Turkic Cultivator. Besides, his victory had mainly been due to the unexpected venomous barb from his snake tail.

A trick that worked once wouldn’t work a second time.

It was wise to retreat while he could.

"You bastards, who dares to come up next?"

A Turkic Cultivator wielding a Golden Wheel flew into the sky and shouted toward the Great Yuan Cultivators.

"Your grandpa is here to teach you a lesson."

A Great Yuan Cultivator who was at the same Cultivation Realm and could control three Flying Swords simultaneously shot up into the sky, engaging the cultivator with the Golden Wheel.

It seemed the duels at the national border never ceased.

Chu Lingguang and the other two watched quietly from a distance. In the end, the Golden Wheel cultivator won a decisive victory. He stood in the air, laughing wildly, "Who else will come and fight me?"

"I will."

Xuanyuan Jinkang sped over.

He saw that the Golden Wheel cultivator’s strength was comparable to his own—both were at the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refining Realm. Stepping onto his Flying Sword, he shot across the sky above the heads of the Great Yuan Soldiers.

"It’s Chu Lingguang."

It was then that Du Wushuang, standing below, spotted Chu Lingguang and Li Qiushui in the air.

"Let’s go down!"

Chu Lingguang led Li Qiushui down into the military camp.

The Golden Wheel cultivator was also at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining, but unfortunately, he had used up too much Spiritual Power. Moreover, his Spirit Root Level was inferior to Xuanyuan Jinkang’s, and his Magic Techniques were no match for those of Yuanchu Mountain. Victory was assured for Xuanyuan Jinkang.

"You’re finally here."

Du Juan was also in the camp.

After not seeing them for several years, he saw that both her and Du Wushuang’s cultivation had progressed significantly. They had already reached the third layer of the Qi Refining Realm.

"Fifth Brother!"

The four from Mo Shan were in the camp as well.

Seeing Chu Lingguang, all four of them looked very happy.

"Four Big Brothers, Commandery Princess, Mr. Du!"

Chu Lingguang greeted everyone one by one.

"We’ve been waiting for you."

Mr. Du was very excited.

He knew that Chu Lingguang had trained at the Profound Celestial Sect and had awakened a Dual Spiritual Root. Moreover, it hadn’t been activated by some strange object; he naturally possessed a Spirit Root Constitution.

Even before leaving Celestial Sea, he had caught the Court’s attention. Now that he had returned with Li Qiushui, many had heard stories from her about what he had done in Great Qin.

They knew Chu Lingguang was powerful and might be able to defeat Andenuk.

"My apologies. I just finished my period of mourning."

Chu Lingguang said apologetically.

"You’re too kind."

Mr. Du said with a deliberate smile.

A short while later, Xuanyuan Jinkang returned with a Golden Wheel.

Just as Chu Lingguang had expected, the Golden Wheel cultivator was no match for Xuanyuan Jinkang. Xuanyuan Jinkang had cut off one of his arms and snatched one of his Golden Wheels.

Having had a rare chance to show off, Xuanyuan Jinkang wanted to keep fighting. But Chu Lingguang sensed trouble and called him back with a voice transmission. Only then did Xuanyuan Jinkang relent, hastily returning to the Great Yuan camp.

"Mr. Du, please help me contact Andenuk. Tell him that I, Chu Lingguang, have come for him."

Chu Lingguang said.

"Excellent."

This was the moment Mr. Du had been waiting for.

He immediately sent someone to inform the Turkic side. Though the two armies were in a standoff, there had been no large-scale conflicts in recent years aside from the cultivator duels. The two sides often communicated through letters or by sending envoys back and forth.

Mr. Du had been waiting for a long time. He immediately dispatched Du Wushuang to enter the Turkic military camp and deliver a letter of challenge to Andenuk.

Ever since Li Qiushui, a disciple of the Profound Celestial Sect, was defeated by Andenuk, very few cultivators from Great Yuan had dared to challenge him.

Because every loss dealt a blow to the morale of Great Yuan’s cultivators.

Coupled with the fact that Andenuk was simply too powerful, everyone avoided him like the plague. So when Great Yuan sent over the letter of challenge, it was the Turkic side that got excited first.

If they could just win a few more battles, the morale on the Great Yuan side would collapse. Then, their entire army could swarm forward, and Great Yuan’s defenses would quickly crumble. Perhaps more than half their territory would be lost within a few months.
