Chapter 238: Chapter 162: Renowned General

Lu Yuan turned to Wu Han. "Have you contacted Zhou He?"

"I have. They’ll be here any minute."

"Good. After I meet with Zhou He, I’ll be leaving. We probably won’t see each other again for about a year. Keep up your training and try to break through to the Divine Origin Realm as soon as you can."

"Yes."

Wu Han acknowledged the command at once.

CLOP! CLOP!

Just then, the sound of urgent hoofbeats rang out as Zhou He and Zhou Hongling came galloping over on their horses.

Hongling was dressed in red Body Armor today, her figure looking even more curvaceous than before.

A simple, antique-looking bracelet on her wrist glinted in the light.

It was, in fact, the very one the Lu Clan had given to Zhou Hongling, which she had worn ever since.

The moment she saw Lu Yuan, a flash of excitement crossed her eyes before vanishing.

She couldn’t stop herself from speaking the moment she reached him. "You’re finally back."

"With you here, of course I had to come back," Lu Yuan said with a gentle smile.

Meanwhile, Zhou He said from the side, "Greetings, Prince Qin. Congratulations on unifying the Three Barbarians and awing the world with your might."

"You joker." Hearing the teasing, Lu Yuan couldn’t resist giving Zhou He a kick on the butt.

Zhou Hongling shot Zhou He a sideways glance, and he shrank back.

Zhou Hongling turned back to Lu Yuan. "I can’t stay for long. The imperial court has been keeping a close watch on the border’s Commanding Generals lately. I suspect they’re preparing for war with Great Qin."

"When the time comes, I’ll lead my troops to rendezvous with you. Be ready to receive us."

Clearly, Zhou Hongling was done waiting.

Lu Yuan looked at her and asked softly, "What about your clan...?"

"I’m a Border Marquis now. The clan abides by my decisions. My father and the others won’t object," Zhou Hongling said solemnly. "When you make your move, remember to send me word."

Lu Yuan nodded. "Understood."

Seeing his agreement, Zhou Hongling seemed to let out a sigh of relief. "Then I’ll be going," she said. "I hope that the next time we meet, there will be no need for goodbyes."

With that, she turned her horse around and rode toward Dayong.

Though their meeting was brief and lacked overt warmth, Lu Yuan could deeply sense Zhou Hongling’s devotion to him.

’That being the case, I can’t let her lose.’

Only when the figures of Zhou Hongling and Zhou He had completely vanished from sight did he finally pull back his gaze and say to Wu Han, "Let’s go."

With that, he turned his horse and rode straight for Great Qin.

「At that very moment」

Outside Dayong’s ancestral temple, the Yong Emperor was already waiting. He seemed to be in a good mood today.

The golden mist swirling around him was far more placid than usual.

CREAK.

Just then, the great doors of the ancestral temple were pushed open. A figure in golden armor strode out, saw the Yong Emperor, and bowed. "Greetings, Brother."

A nearby Eunuch lowered his head and knelt. "Congratulations on emerging from seclusion, Your Highness."

"Haha, Su, you’re out of seclusion! Dayong has gained another Renowned General to safeguard the nation," the Yong Emperor said happily.

The man who had emerged from the ancestral temple was his full-blooded brother, Prince Ze of Dayong, Li Su. Years ago, his cultivation had already reached the Earth Immortal Realm, and he was a Quasi-Renowned General. Since then, he had dedicated himself to studying Military Arrays.

And today, he had finally comprehended his own unique Seventh-Grade Military Array.

It could be said that Li Su was the first person in the entire world to become a Renowned General as an Earth Immortal.

On the battlefield, his power would be absolutely terrifying.

It had to be said, Dayong’s national fortune was truly flourishing.

First, Prince Ze, Li Su, and then the Unparalleled Marquis.

Of course, Lu Yuan himself had once been in Dayong’s service, only to be cast aside.

Nevertheless, this was a testament to Dayong’s strength.
