A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality and I Become a God
Chapter Summary
We must investigate as soon as possible before we take any action to be safe." "General Lu, the casualties of our Tianling Dynasty have exceeded 100,000. Looking at the battlefield where the fighting was still going on and at his brothers who had suffered heavy losses, Lu Fan couldn't help but look towards the direction of the capital and speak. However, since His Majesty and the others had already confirmed the Crown Prince's death, Lu Fan questioned Zhang Tianhao immediately upon seeing him.
"Yes, General Lu, the army of the Wanfeng Dynasty has become so powerful that there must be unimaginable forces behind it. We must investigate as soon as possible before we take any action to be safe."
"General Lu, the casualties of our Tianling Dynasty have exceeded 100,000. If this continues, the losses will only become more severe. The best course of action now is to retreat to the city, investigate the situation thoroughly, and then take further action."
Hearing his trusted subordinate's words, Lu Fan felt as if his heart was being torn apart. He gritted his teeth, stood up, and spoke.
"Pass down the order: retreat. I will return and report to His Majesty before making further plans!"
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, two trusted confidants quickly went downstairs. After they left, Lu Fan walked to the front of the tent. Looking at the battlefield where the fighting was still going on and at his brothers who had suffered heavy losses, Lu Fan couldn't help but look towards the direction of the capital and speak.
"Your Majesty, what has happened? Why have we not received any reply for half a month? Could something have gone wrong?"
"General Lu, what exactly happened?"
Just then, a voice entered Lu Fan's ears, causing him to freeze slightly. When he turned around and saw the person behind him, he was startled.
"Who are you? Why are you impersonating the Crown Prince of my Heavenly Spirit Dynasty!"
Lu Fan drew his sword and looked at Zhang Tianhao warily. Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianhao was somewhat surprised, but then he thought of the assassination attempt he had encountered a month ago, and his expression immediately became serious.
He had already anticipated that the Wanfeng Dynasty was about to go to war with their Tianling Dynasty.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Tianhao continued.
"General Lu, I am indeed Zhang Tianhao. A month ago, I was attacked by three members of the Divine Arrow Battalion of the Tianfeng Dynasty. It was my trusted men who risked their lives to save me."
As the story progressed, Zhang Tianhao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Upon hearing this, Lu Fan's brows relaxed slightly. He often met with the Crown Prince and was naturally very familiar with his appearance. However, since His Majesty and the others had already confirmed the Crown Prince's death, Lu Fan questioned Zhang Tianhao immediately upon seeing him.
However, Lu Fan did not completely trust Zhang Tianhao, after all, it was wartime and he did not know if this was a tactic of the Wanfeng Dynasty.
As the Crown Prince of the Tianling Dynasty, Zhang Tianhao naturally knew Lu Fan's concerns, so he spoke with a serious expression.
"General Lu, to be honest, a month ago when I was on the verge of death, I was fortunate enough to join a sect of immortals, which saved my life. Otherwise, I would have already passed away."
"I have returned this time to resolve a major problem for my Heavenly Spirit Dynasty."
Upon hearing this, Lu Fan noticed that his prince's aura was different, and even as a martial arts expert, he could vaguely feel an invisible pressure when he stood in front of the prince.
Looking next to the Crown Prince, there was a grinning young man. Just as Lu Fan was about to say something, Cai Wankun, who was standing next to Zhang Tianhao, spoke up with a serious expression.
"Senior Brother, why waste your breath talking to them? Illegal invasion, stirring up trouble, and harming the people—the Wanfeng Dynasty is an extremely heinous crime. As a disciple of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, I naturally have the duty to handle this matter, so I'll take care of it!"
After Cai Wankun finished speaking, he disappeared from the tent in a flash. Lu Fan, who witnessed this, stood there stunned for a long time before looking at Zhang Tianhao with trembling eyes.
"Your Highness, what is this?"
"General Lu, I am not talking nonsense. My junior brother's strength is more than enough to resist the army of the Wanfeng Dynasty."
And what exactly happened? How is Father Emperor now?
Zhang Tianhao asked in a serious tone. Seeing this, Lu Fan no longer hid anything and told him what had happened over the past month.
The situation was not as Zhang Yu had predicted. Just half a month later, the Wanfeng Dynasty led its army to launch a direct attack on the Tianling Dynasty.
Left with no other choice, Zhang Yu ordered his army to counterattack, but he did not expect that the strength of the Wanfeng Dynasty's army far exceeded their expectations.
Each soldier in the Wanfeng Dynasty's army was capable of fighting ten men, which led to the Tianling Dynasty's repeated defeats despite the similar number of troops on both sides.
Half a month has passed, and the Tianling Dynasty has lost thousands of miles of territory, with its soldiers suffering nearly 100,000 casualties.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianhao's expression turned extremely gloomy. He had not expected the Wanfeng Dynasty to be so cruel, launching a war directly without any prior conflict.
Thinking of something, Lu Fan couldn't help but sigh and say something.
"Your Highness, after learning of your death, His Majesty turned white overnight. Therefore, Your Highness must return to the court as soon as possible. Only by knowing that you are alive can His Majesty regain his strength."
"General Lu, I understand, but the most urgent task is to defeat the Wanfeng Dynasty first. Besides, I have a feeling that there is something else behind the Wanfeng Dynasty."
Zhang Tianhao spoke with a solemn expression and a heavy heart.
After all, the Wanfeng Dynasty was originally about the same strength as their Tianling Dynasty, but now every soldier of the Wanfeng Dynasty can fight ten against one.
Moreover, this was achieved in a short period of time, which made Zhang Tianhao wonder if there were cultivators behind the Wanfeng Dynasty.
Upon hearing this, Lu Fan said in surprise.
"Your Highness, are you suspecting that there are immortals behind the Wanfeng Dynasty?"
"This is still uncertain. Let's wait and see."
Zhang Tianhao shook his head, not taking the power behind the Wanfeng Dynasty seriously. After witnessing his master's supreme power, he clearly realized that his master's strength was definitely not something that his own world could restrain.
Even going up one world level wouldn't work.
"Alright, let's go out first. My junior brother should have taken care of everything by now."
After saying this, Zhang Tianhao turned around and walked out of the tent. Lu Fan quickly followed him.
Lu Fan froze when he saw what was happening outside. Cai Wankun was flying in the air, his figure majestic like a god.
Immediately afterwards, Cai Wankun waved his hand, and countless golden rays surged from his body, falling into the figures fighting on the battlefield. Anything touched by the attack instantly turned into ashes.
Lu Fan had been worried that it might affect the soldiers of their Tianling Dynasty, but upon closer inspection, he saw that without exception, all the figures struck by the golden light were soldiers of the Wanfeng Dynasty.
With Cai Wankun's arrival, the situation instantly turned one-sided. In just a few seconds, all the soldiers of the Wanfeng Dynasty were killed by Cai Wankun, without even a chance to beg for mercy.
The soldiers of the Tianling Dynasty were stunned by what they saw, as if the pause button had been pressed.
