Chapter 336: A Letter to the People of Daliang: Fight, Fight, Fight

Inside the formation.

After Zhuang Xianrong entered, flames immediately attacked him, but they were quickly blown away by the gale force around Zhuang Xianrong's body.

"It has actually turned into a sea of fire!"

Whoosh!

Zhuang Xianrong's figure turned into a stream of light and moved forward in the sea of fire, but stopped after three hours. With his strength, he couldn't withstand it any further.

"Lihuo has actually started to wake up. What happened here?"

Zhuang Xianrong's expression was very ugly. Although Lin Chen was number one on the Heaven Ranking of the Hidden Dragon List and comparable to a Seventh-Rank martial artist, he was simply not qualified in front of Lihuo. The reason the Duke agreed to let Lin Chen in was because he knew that with Lin Chen's strength, there wouldn't be any mistakes.

To put it bluntly, Lin Chen couldn't even get close to the magma river, let alone wake up the Lihuo hidden beneath the abyss.

But now the magma in the river had surged, forming a sea of fire. This was a sign of Lihuo waking up. He really couldn't think of how Lin Chen could disturb Lihuo and make it wake up.

Unless Lin Chen jumped into the abyss!

If Lin Chen was really stupid enough to jump into the abyss, he couldn't have cultivated to the Seventh-Rank realm and become number one on the Heaven Ranking.

Three hours later, Zhuang Xianrong walked out of the crack.

"How is it?"

Fang Funan saw Zhuang Xianrong return alone, his face was a bit ugly, but there was still a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"My lord, inside is a sea of fire, there is no trace of anyone. Lihuo should have woken up, and Lin Chen is likely in great danger."

Although no one wanted to accept this result, Zhuang Xianrong still stated his judgment truthfully.

Even he, a Second-Rank martial artist, couldn't withstand this flame, let alone Lin Chen.

"I want to go down myself."

Fang Funan's body trembled, and the men on the side hurriedly said: "Duke, you cannot!"

"My lord, Lihuo won't wake up for no reason. Have you ever thought that there might be a conspiracy here? If you go down now, what if there is a change at the border?"

Zhuang Xianrong's analysis made Fang Funan's old eyes flash with brilliance: "You mean to say that this matter is related to the Southern Nan Nan Sha San Dao?"

"The formation has two entrances. I don't believe Lin Chen could wake up Lihuo. The problem is highly likely to be on the side of the Southern Nan Nan Sha San Dao."

Hearing Zhuang Xianrong's analysis, Fang Funan also calmed down: "The Southern Nan Nan Sha San Dao don't have this courage, and if Lihuo wakes up, the Southern Nan Nan Sha San Dao will suffer the same fate... But if the Han Kingdom is involved, it might not be the case."

"If the Han Kingdom is involved, then you cannot go down even more. The military camp needs you to sit in command."

The morale of a military camp with the Duke sitting in command is completely different from one without. Without the Duke, the military camp lacks a backbone.

Fang Funan's expression kept changing. Lin Chen's life and death inside were unknown, but thinking of the Han Kingdom's involvement and Daliang's southern border...

"I understand, but I will just go down for a walk and won't have any big problems. Don't try to persuade me anymore. Xianrong, return to the military camp now and keep an eye on every move of the Southern Nan Nan Sha San Dao."

Fang Funan's expression was firm. He finally decided to go down himself. Zhuang Xianrong saw the Duke's expression and knew he couldn't persuade him.

Southern Nan Nan Sha San Dao.

Four old men also stood in front of a jade stele, three of whom had very ugly expressions.

"Lord Qi, didn't you say this matter was foolproof? Why is it out of control inside now?"

"The three island masters, don't worry. This is just a precursor to Lihuo waking up. If you want to talk about worry, it should be me, after all, there are four martial artists from my Han Kingdom who haven't come out yet."

Hearing this, the three island masters of the Southern Nan Nan Sha San Dao curled their lips in their hearts. A Sixth-Rank martial artist and three Seventh-Rank martial artists meant nothing to the Han Kingdom. Qi Tai didn't care about them at all, and it was even possible that the Han Kingdom didn't expect them to come back alive.

"Lord Qi, don't forget, what you promised was that after Lihuo wakes up, it will only spread toward the Daliang border, and will not spread toward our Southern Nan Nan Sha San Dao." Qi Tai stroked his beard and smiled: "Do the two island masters still not believe our country? And even if the worst situation really happens, our country's National Teacher has already promised to choose a piece of land in the Han Kingdom for you to bring people to live in. And once Daliang is destroyed, you three will be responsible for governing it. Compared to the small Southern Nan Nan Sha San Dao, can't the vast Daliang satisfy you?"

The three island masters looked at each other. The reason they cooperated with the Han Kingdom was because of this promise made by the Han Kingdom's National Teacher.

In their view, Daliang was by no means an enemy of the Han Kingdom, and the Zheng Kingdom had also joined forces with the Han Kingdom. And they helped the Han Kingdom disrupt Daliang's south. Once the Han Kingdom destroyed Daliang, the entire Daliang territory would belong to them.

Even if Lihuo burned down several provinces in Daliang's south, leaving them as scorched earth unfit for living, the remaining territory would still be hundreds of times larger than the Southern Nan Nan Sha San Dao.

"It had better be so."

Qi Tai heard this and knew that the attitude of the two island masters had softened, so he smiled slightly: "Just in case, you three can arrange for some relatives to go to the Han Kingdom first, and our Han Kingdom will arrange martial artists to escort them along the way."

The Southern Nan Nan Sha San Dao had already boarded the ship and there was no turning back. At this time, even if he proposed not to care about the safety of the Southern Nan Nan Sha San Dao and let Lihuo rage, could these three island masters not allow it?

This "just in case" was just to save the last bit of face for these three island masters and not to pierce this layer of window paper.

The three island masters left. Qi Tai looked at the gap under the jade stele, feeling the heat wave constantly erupting inside, and the smile on his face disappeared.

According to the National Teacher's plan, Zang Qing and the other four couldn't all die inside; at least Zang Qing should be able to come back to report.

Was there a change inside?

Or did the National Teacher underestimate the power of Lihuo waking up?

Hopefully, it was the latter.

The next day.

Daliang Northern Border, Pingyao City.

The Northern Army, which had just destroyed the demon race, was setting up camp in an orderly manner.

Suddenly, wolf smoke rose from the high city wall.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

The next moment, the drums of the military camp sounded, and all the soldiers assembled immediately.

One hundred thousand troops from the Han Kingdom were attacking the city from the south.

Xiao Yaojin stood beside his father, holding a long spear, looking coldly at the vast army advancing on the distant ice plain horizon.

The Northern Border doesn't just suppress demons; it also suppresses the Han Kingdom.

Lingxiao City.

Thousands of ships appeared in the sea area outside Lingxiao City.

Thousands of ships hung different flags, and each flag hung a totem of a demon beast.

Zheng Kingdom, the powerful colluding with the demon race.

Fifty thousand martial artists possessing demon beast bloodlines killed toward Lingxiao City from the sea area.

Daliang, just a few days apart, the third twelve-toll bell rang across the country.

An hour after the bell rang, all the people of Daliang received the edict issued by the current Emperor: "A Letter to the People of the Whole Country."

The national war officially began.
