"Looks like my physical fitness isn't strong enough. I couldn't hold on for more than a few minutes while deducting. If I could hold on for a while longer, I might be able to find the reason why I couldn't hold off the beast tide."
However, there were still some gains from the deduction this time.
For example, letting him know that black iron refined gold couldn't change battle's outcome.
Apart from that, they would find an even greater challenge from the strange beasts.
Those strange beasts with elemental abilities were truly too terrifying.
Even if He Chuan were to go up personally, he might not be able to defeat them easily.
"Looks like I can't put my energy into creating new equipment. I have to prioritize guarding against stronger strange beasts."
The new army of awakened ones already had the means to continuously increase their strength.
The only thing missing was an expert who could oversee the entire battlefield.
As long as they helped them get rid of those strange beasts that they couldn't deal with, it wouldn't be impossible to guard against the beast tide.
He Chuan was the perfect candidate.
The cultivation speed of the Tyrannical True Cultivation Manual was much faster than the guiding technique.
With the knowledge he had learned in his previous life, he had rapit progress.
Almost every day, he could make his strength increase in stages.
As long as he had two more days, it wouldn't be a problem for him to break through to level three.
However, Glory City might not be able to enjoy two more days of peace.
"Time... I have to buy more time."
He Chuan closed his eyes and felt carefully.
The earth seemed to be wailing under the trampling of the beasts.
It seemed that some of the mutated beasts that had escaped their homeland in the Gobi Desert due to the avalanche had already rushed to the border of Glory City.
He didn't know how many of them there were.
No scouts could bring him any specific information.
He could only rely on the sharp senses of the awakened ones to judge all of this.
Although the error was immense, this was the only method he could rely on.
The beast tide was about to arrive.
It wouldn't be later than in the afternoon.
The beast tide that was more than ten days ahead of schedule gave him almost no time to develop.
It was said that plans could not keep up with changes, it now seemed that this was indeed the case.
With his current strength, he could barely resist the beast tide.
However, it was not completely hopeless.
He Chuan was not discouraged because of this.
Although the result of the deduction was the destruction of Glory City.
But that was only one of the tendencies of the future.
Now, as long as he did not continue the research of black iron refined gold to make equipment, it was very likely that he could change that outcome.
He had to hurry up and cultivate!
He Chuan took a deep breath and continued to read the contents of the Tyrannical True Cultivation Manual.
He was about to cultivate.
However, someone knocked on the door.
"Your Highness, something has happened."
It was Xu Ke's voice.
He Chuan pushed open the door and looked at the heavy expression on Xu Ke's face. With a thought, he asked.
"Is the Azure Dragon Legion back?"
Xu Ke was startled. "Your Highness, how did you know?"
"I guessed."
He Chuan chuckled. "Bring me there."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Xu Ke brought He Chuan to the West Gate of Glory City.
As soon as they stepped onto the city tower, they saw a large group of people kneeling outside the city.
Lin Cheng was confronting the Azure Dragon Marshal with a sullen expression.
"You still have the face to come and beg the City Lord?"
"Back then, when you instigated the entire army, did you think that we didn't know what you were thinking?"
"Now that you're being chased by the beast tide, you want to advance and retreat together with Glory City?"
"You really are shameless!"
Below, the Azure Dragon Marshal snorted coldly.
"Lin Cheng, who are you? How dare you talk to me like that?"
"How dare you offend your superiors Do you know which military law you've violated?"
At this moment, He Chuan and Xu Ke walked to Lin Cheng's side one after the other.
Lin Cheng hurriedly saluted. Even ignoring the Azure Dragon Marshal.
Although the Azure Dragon Marshal was very unhappy, he still saluted him.
"The guilty Marshal greets the City Lord."
He Chuan looked at him calmly.
"You are no longer a Marshal of Glory City. Don't you feel embarrassed to call yourself that?"
The Azure Dragon Marshal knew that He Chuan would say this, so he explained the situation directly.
"Your Highness, you should know that the Crown Prince currently sees you as a thorn in his flesh."
"What he fears the most is that you will rise again. One day, when you return to the capital, you will snatch back the position of heir to the throne."
"As early as a month ago, I received a secret letter."
"The Crown Prince asked me to use the power in my hands to infiltrate the higher-ups of the officials."
"When you arrive, when the Beast Tide arrives, think of a way to take away the resources and the main army."
"I'm just a border general. How would I dare to go against the Crown Prince?"
"Betraying you, betraying Glory City, is also a helpless act."
After finishing his words, many people present frowned.
Lin Cheng and Lin Ya kept silent. This was a fight for the imperial power. They simply could not interrupt and did not dare to interrupt.
Xu Ke's gaze became unusually deep.
It was as if he was analyzing the reliability of the Azure Dragon Marshal'swords.
A few seconds later, he moved closer to He Chuan and reminded him.
"Your Highness, this person can not be trusted. If the Crown Prince requests it, then he must have prepared a way out of Glory City. Why would he be forced to come to us by the beast tide?"
He Chuan looked at him with appreciation. This chief of staff was quite skilled.
However, after the Azure Dragon Marshal heard this, he still answered calmly.
"To tell you the truth, I am now the Crown Prince's abandoned chess. In order to silence me, he accused the entire Azure Dragon Legion of being a rebel army. Now, we really no way out."
The Azure Dragon Marshal's face was full of sincerity. "Your Highness, I know that I deserve to die for my sins and am willing to accept all punishment. However, the 20,000 soldiers of the Azure Dragon Legion are innocent! Please show mercy and give them a way out!"
Oh!
Hearing this, He Chuan was immediately amused.
This Azure Dragon Marshal was really not stupid.
He even knew how to employ in moral blackmail!

The Azure Dragon Marshal's words were very interesting.
On the surface, it seemed like he was taking all the blame and asking He Chuan to forgive the others.
But in reality, it was a disguised threat.
Everyone knew that since He Chuan came to glory city, he did most the things to care for the people and think for everyone.
In Xu Ke's eyes, this City Lord was wise, strategic, farsighted, and knew the big picture.
In Lin Cheng's eyes, this City Lord was generous, capable, and powerful.
In the eyes of the people, this prince of the royal family was their savior, the light of hope to save them.
When people looked at him from different angles, their final impression would be different.
However, he never put on airs in a high position. His kindness and integrity were the only consensuses in everyone's hearts.
The Azure Dragon Marshal was using this point to borrow the 'opinions' of the people to force He Chuan to nod his head and agree to let them take refuge in the city.
You are a good City Lord. You can't just watch as the tens of thousands of soldiers of Glory City were swallowed up by the beast tide, right?
Do you still want your character set up?
If you do, let us enter the city!
This move wasn't very brilliant. The Azure Dragon Marshal believed that most of the higher-ups of Glory City could see through it.
In fact, they could even guess what he would do next!
Plead for the Azure Dragon Legion and stop the City Lord from punishing him!
But what could he do even if they knew?
What could the City Lord do then?
In order to prevent the morale of the army from being unstable, he had to put it on hold for now and let him continue to be the Azure Dragon Commander!
This was a dilemma between advance and retreat.
It was a pure conspiracy.
Even if they knew his plan, they still had to step on it!
Glory City's defense was currently empty, and they lacked a workforce. No matter the reason, it was impossible for them to remain unmoved in the face of 20,000 reinforcements!
Azure Dragon Marshal couldn't help but feel a little smug when he thought of this.
He felt that the plan this time was flawless.
Not only did he consider Glory City's city defense strength, but he also thoroughly analyzed He Chuan's character and used such a statement that he couldn't reject.
But who would have thought.
The scene of He Chuan frowning did not appear in his imagination.
This youth still maintained his originally calm smile.
In fact, there was even a hint of playfulness in the gaze he was looking at him with!
What did this mean?
The Azure Dragon Marshal could not understand.
In the next moment, He Chuan cleared his doubts.
The City Lord waved his hand.
Instantly, countless figures flew out from behind the city wall and landed on the city wall.
They only stood there for a brief moment, but the murderous aura emanating from their bodies already made everyone feel an extremely terrifying pressure!
This temperament could only be honed after a life and death battle.
Moreover, it was linked to strength!
If one was randomly picked, the entire Azure Dragon Legion wouldn't be able to find anyone who could contend against them.
Not even the Azure Dragon Marshal himself!
"Awakened?"
He was dumbfounded. "That's impossible. How could there be awakened in Glory City? Even if they're pseudo awakened, there can be so many of them!"
"Then I have to thank you." He Chuan smiled. "If you hadn't gone to the Wuji Dojo to stir up trouble, I wouldn't have gained so much."
As He Chuan spoke, his voice paused, and his gaze suddenly became sharp, "The Azure Dragon Legion, from the Marshal to the soldiers, have committed many crimes in Glory City? If I let you in, not to mention that I won't agree, but the people in the city won't agree!"
The Azure Dragon Marshal's face suddenly became somewhat embarrassed. "City Lord, don't blame me for not warning you. The beast tide is about to arrive. If you don't accept the Azure Dragon Legion, will you be able to defend Glory City?"
"If 10,000 awakened ones can't defend the city, what's the use of having 20,000 ordinary soldiers?"
He Chuan was expressionless. "If you want to live, answer my question honestly."
The Marshal of the Azure Dragon Legion gritted his teeth. After thinking about it, he felt that his life was more important. In the end, he swallowed his anger. "Alright, go ahead!"
"How many methods did the crown prince use to kill me?"
"I don't know."
"You better tell me the truth."
He Chuan narrowed his eyes. The deductive system told him that the expression on the Azure Dragon Marshal's face was unnatural. There was a high chance that he was lying.
"Then you have to promise me that the Azure Dragon Legion and I can enter the city to recuperate." The Azure Dragon Marshal blurted out.
He Chuan snorted coldly. "You don't have the right to make demands on me, much less teach me how to do things. If you don't want to tell me, then just get lost. Don't be a hindrance here."
The Azure Dragon Marshal couldn't help but fall silent.
The sudden change had caught him by surprise.
He didn't expect that the scheme he was so proud of would actually be so fragile.
He didn't expect that this young lad, He Chuan, would actually be able to hold the power of speech with just a few words.
Not only did he expose the loopholes in his scheme, he even easily controlled him.
This meticulous observation and judgment were genuinely terrifying.
Only then did Green Dragon Marshal realize what a terrifying opponent he was facing.
In the blink of an eye, the table had been turned and he had to make a tough decision.
Should he say it or not?
Actually, whether he said it or not, it wouldn't cause any more trouble for him.
The Crown Prince wouldn't take revenge on him at this time.
But if he told him everything, wouldn't he be of no more use to He Chuan?
Then how could he enter the city?
But he didn't have any more choices.
The Azure Dragon Marshal decided to take a gamble in the end.
He bet that He Chuan was a kind person.
He couldn't bear to see 20,000 people drowned in the beast tide and exposed to the wilderness.
At that moment, he told him everything he knew.
He Chuan listened carefully, using the deductive system to judge every word.
After confirming what the other party said was true, he could not help but complain.
"Your heart is truly black!"
The Azure Dragon Marshal urged at this time.
"City Lord, can you let us into the city now?"
Unexpectedly, He Chuan shook his head gently.
The Azure Dragon Marshal was instantly furious. "F*ck, I've already told you everything you want to know. Now you want to go back on your word?"
Xu Ke could not help but retort, "His Highness did not say that he would let you enter the city. Can you stop imagining things?"
The Azure Dragon Marshal clenched his fists. His anger had already gone to his head. He had already forgotten about the beast tide and his life.
His only thought was to attack the city!
Ten thousand awakened ones, right?
I have twenty thousand soldiers. Even if all of them die, I will still bite off a piece of your flesh!
"Soldiers!" The Azure Dragon Marshal shouted, "Even if you die, you will still held your heads up. Today, you are being bullied to such an extent. Can you bear it! ?"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The battle cries shook the sky.
This wave of morale-raising was very effective.
Right at this moment, the cries of beasts rang out.
The sounds here startled the approaching beasts.
The members of the Azure Dragon Legion immediately became nervous.
The soldiers at the back turned around one after another, looking at the Dark Forest in panic.
He Chuan suddenly raised his hand.
Majestic spiritual energy circled and condensed above his head, becoming denser and denser, so much so that it turned from transparent to a water-green gas with substance.
In an instant.
With a bang, it burned into a blazing red color again.
The fire clouds burned in the sky above the city, covering the sky and outshining the sun. All of a sudden, everyone present was shocked.
Green Dragon Marshal's eyes were filled with shock.
How could this kid be so powerful?
He Chuan stood in the air with an indifferent expression.
"The beast tide is coming. Everyone, get ready to fight!"
"Green Dragon Marshal, if you want to live, let your subordinates fight together."
"If you want to escape, go ahead."
Green Dragon Marshal gritted his teeth.
Damn it.
The beast tide had already rushed up to his butt, how could he escape!

No matter how unwilling the Azure Dragon Marshal was.
He could only order all the soldiers to get into formation and maintain full vigilance in order to deal with the next beast tide.
Soon, the sounds from the forest got closer and closer.
After five heavy breaths.
The first wave of the beast tide appeared before everyone's eyes.
It was a group of well-built canine-type strange beasts, similar to hyenas in some ways. There were several hundred of them.
He Chuan narrowed his eyes and observed.
It seemed that the beast tide that was affected by the natural disaster had also arrived in batches.
The relatively fast low-level strange beasts were too close to the front, so they were the first to arrive here.
In that case, it wouldn't be so difficult to deal with them.
But this was only for the new army of the awakened ones.
The Azure Dragon Legion, which was leaning against the city wall, was miserable beyond words.
In an instant, a hole was torn open.
Even as a low-level strange beast, the hyena's sharp claws, with the addition of powerful strength, could easily break the armor and shields of the soldiers of the Azure Dragon Legion.
Those basic weapons, which were even inferior to the black-scaled element, had no deterrent force in front of them at all.
Using the body of an ordinary person to resist the beast tide.
And without the protection of the city walls, they would only become cannon fodder in this battle.
If it weren't for a part of the spirit cultivators who had awakened their innate abilities to rush to the battlefield, the first wave of strange beasts might have been able to wipe out these 20,000 soldiers.
The fire clouds above their heads kept raining down deadly flames, crazily harvesting the lives of the hyenas.
Although He Chuan was only a level two awakened, his performance was more dazzling than all the other spiritual cultivators combined.
The Tyrannical True Cultivation Manual was too powerful.
In this world of beginner-entry spiritual energy recovery, this cultivation technique blessed by the heavenly Dao was the best.
In addition, He Chuan's control and use of inner qi were very meticulous. If it was changed into spiritual energy, it would not be much different.
Therefore, among the second-level awakened, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was the strongest.
"Sir is so strong."
Xu Ke stood at the side and could only stare.
He had also taken the Hanshi Powder, but he was just an ordinary martial cultivator, which greatly disappointed him who wanted to become a spirit cultivator.
Facing this kind of battlefield, he could only be a salted fish who knew how to cheer others. He didn't do anything.
Lin Cheng was the same.
As the higher-ups of the army, they could not go down and charge into battle.
Otherwise, if anything happened to them, it would be an irreversible blow to their morale.
On the other hand, military advisor Lin Ya seemed to be blessed by the heavens.
She stood out among the tens of thousands of people and became one of the spiritual cultivators.
The innate ability was plant affinity. She could use spiritual energy to increase the growth rate of plants.
At first, she was a little disappointed. She felt that this was a useless ability.
However, He Chuan told her very clearly that there were no trash abilities. There were only awakened ones who didn't know how to use their abilities.
In his opinion, as long as one cultivated plant affinity to a certain level, they could control plants and let them fight for themselves. It was somewhat similar to a beast tamer.
In the future, when he became a level six or seven awakened, wouldn't it be amazing and interesting to directly scatter beans into soldiers and command a group of small plants to charge into battle?
Only then did Lin Ya's worry turn into joy. She could do one more thing every day and cultivate diligently.
However, right now, she was unable to help. She could only sit in the center of the city and analyze the battle situation.
On the side of the new army of the awakened ones, quite a number of martial cultivators rushed out of the city through the small gates, killing the enemies outside. They forcibly helped the Azure Dragon Legion, which was about to collapse stabilize the situation.
Under the dual efforts of the spirit cultivators controlling the battlefield and the martial cultivators killing the enemies, the first wave of the beast tide was cleaned up not long after, and they managed to defend the city safely.
The Azure Dragon Marshal hurriedly took this opportunity to get people to count the casualties.
Not long after, He Chuan heard a terrifying number.
Five thousand!
The Azure Dragon Marshal had lost a quarter of his men just to face less than a thousand small-sized strange beasts.
It was hard to imagine what would have happened if Glory City had no awakened ones now.
So many people had died.
The smell of blood would definitely stimulate more strange beasts to attack.
Now, they had to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible and collect the beast's meat and crystals.
The Azure Dragon Marshal also made a request at this time.
Co-defense was fine, but they had to move into Glory City.
Otherwise, the losses would be too great. When the second wave arrived, they would all be wiped out.
He Chuan directly ignored them.
He had originally wanted to take care of the Azure Dragon Legion.
These people hadn't done anything good when they were in Glory City.
Moreover, Azure Dragon Marshal had harmed him first. No matter what, he wouldn't let them off.
,m Seeing He Chuan's attitude, Azure Dragon Marshal immediately understood that he had really come to the end of the road.
If he wanted to survive, he had to rely on himself!
At that moment, he didn't hesitate anymore.
He directly gave the order to abandon the wounded. Everyone took off their bloodstained clothes and went around Glory City, intending to leave from the other side.
This was the right choice.
The smell of blood continued to attract the attention of the strange beasts, leaving Glory City's people with no time to care about anything else. They had no way of splitting up their troops to chase after them.
"You're really ruthless. You're even willing to give up on your own subordinates now."
Lin Cheng clenched his fists. Abandoning a chariot to protect the commander was something that he absolutely couldn't do.
"Humph!" Azure Dragon Marshal shouted across the air. "Don't make sarcastic remarks here! If it weren't for you guys forcing me, I wouldn't have gone to this extent. If I can't stand it anymore, I can just leave them!"
"Despicable scoundrel!"
Xu Ke couldn't help but curse.
The Azure Dragon Marshal still didn't forget to set a trap for them.
If Glory City didn't take in these injured soldiers at this time.
If word got out in the future, everyone in the world would definitely think that City Lord He Chuan was a cold-blooded and heartless person.
If that happened, he would lose the hearts of the people, and he would never be able to become the heir to the throne.
As he watched the Azure Dragon Legion gradually move further and further away, Lin Cheng couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Sir, what should we do? Should we chase after them?"
"There's no need. I suddenly thought of a way to save Glory City."
He Chuan only smiled slightly. "Let the bait go further away."
As he spoke, he raised his hands high.
A rain of fire rained down from the sky.
All the corpses and blood were turned into ashes under the high temperature and finally turned into a charred stench that even the strange beasts loathed.

Outside the city, the wounded soldiers of the Azure Dragon Legion looked at the flames on the ground from afar, not daring to approach.
He Chuan had given them sufficient time to react when he attacked.
If they wanted to live, they had to leave the hundred-meter radius of Glory City.
Hearing the continuous sounds of strange beasts in the mountain forest.
These people really had no choice but to flee in all directions.
Seeing this scene, Lin Cheng sighed softly.
"Strange beasts are bloodthirsty. I'm afraid these people won't be able to run far."
Xu Ke looked at him. "Mashal Lin, you're not going to start being sentimental again, are you?"
"After all, they're all soldiers of the empire. Although the Azure Dragon Marshal and I don't get along, but..."
Lin Cheng gradually came to a realization. Having a compassionate heart wasn't bad, but it wasn't necessarily a good thing in this chaotic world. Thus, he shook his head and said, "Sigh, forget it. It's good as long as we can survive the beast tide."
Xu Ke thought for a moment and said, "These scents disperse very quickly. They can only delay the arrival of the second wave of the beast tide. Your Highness, what should we do?"
"Take the opportunity to kill the Azure Dragon Legion Marshal."
He Chuan looked into the distance. "Once he dies, the Azure Dragon Legion will become headless flies. When that time comes, the target of the beast tide will not be just us."
Xu Ke was startled. "Your Highness, you want the entire Azure Dragon Legion to use their lives to delay time for us?"
"Yes." He Chuan's gaze was firm. "Choose 300 awakened new soldiers. I will personally pursue and kill them!"
Lin Cheng and Xu Ke looked at each other in surprise.
This was the first time they had seen He Chuan use such a ruthless method. It was very different from his usual gentle and refined appearance. It made them very uncomfortable.
However, there was nothing that couldn't be done. The crimes that the Azure Dragon Marshal had committed in the past few years, both in the open and in the dark, were enough to make him die a few times.
Very soon, the chasing troops were assembled.
Each of them was the best among the second-level awakened of the new army.
However, the Azure Dragon Legion still had more than 10,000 people.
It was still a little challenging to assassinate Azure Dragon Marshal.
In order to reduce casualties and avoid being discovered by the other party first, all of them changed into night clothes.
They chased out first and waited until nighttime before attacking together!
The speed of the awakened ones was far faster than ordinary people.
Moreover, the Azure Dragon Legion was afraid of being scattered by the beast tide, so they didn't dare to split into small groups and chose to march in a group.
This way, it was effortless to find them.
He Chuan brought 300 awakened ones and used the foresight of the deductive system to avoid the increasingly dense area of exotic beasts.
But the Azure Dragon Legion wasn't so lucky.
There were too many of them.
After setting up a defensive formation, every step they took would send a flock of birds flying.
Many strange beasts were already watching them in the dark.
In the evening, they launched a wave of attacks in tacit understanding.
The battle cries shook the sky for a moment, so much so that even the strange beasts in the distance were attracted over.
"All the heavy shield 100-man regiments, go and block the strange beasts that are charging at us. The hatchet men, cooperate with us to kill them. Let's get rid of them first!"
Azure Dragon Marshal gave the order from the center of the battlefield. "Archers, prepare the rockets. Burn down the forest on the west side. Don't let those strange beasts come over!"
A few troops moved quickly.
Soon, the strange beasts that were surrounded by the heavy shield soldiers could no longer kill as fiercely as they had when they first entered the battlefield.
Although the shields the Azure Dragon Legion provided couldn't block a few attacks from the strange beasts, they had the advantage in numbers. If one of them couldn't hold on any longer, their teammates would immediately replace them.
While exhausting the exotic beasts' stamina, there were also hatchet men attacking from the flanks.
Not long after, the strange beasts actually became riddled with wounds under this kind of tactical system.
However, it was still a little difficult to kill them truly.
"Looks like the Azure Dragon Legion's luck today is a little bad."
Just as the battle situation was tense.
He Chuan moved.
He brought a few hundred awakened ones and turned into a sharp arrow, piercing straight into the Azure Dragon Legion's defense gap.
In just a few seconds, they had rushed to the center of the battlefield and destroyed more than ten hundred-man regiments in a row.
They didn't even have time to warn the others.
Just as the Azure Dragon Legion Marshal sensed that something was wrong.
He turned his head and saw a figure shrouded in flames.
The next moment.
He lost consciousness.
His head separated from his body, and fell to the ground with a bang.
The adjutants around him were all dumbfounded.
Before they could react, they saw the assailant quickly retreat and run out of the battlefield.
"Enemy Attack! Enemy Attack! There's an assassin!"
"Sir... is dead..."
"The Marshal is dead! !"
Panicked shouts rang out one after another.
It immediately caused the originally orderly battlefield to become chaotic.
He Chuan secretly observed for a while.
Not long after the news of Azure Dragon Marshal's death spread.
Deserters appeared.
Moreover, the situation was getting worse and worse.
In just a few minutes, the number of people present had been reduced by half.
Apart from those who were entangled by the strange beasts, almost all of them had left this place.
"Many of them are injured. They should be able to attract the beast tide over."
He Chuan achieved his goal. He did not stay in the wilderness any longer and immediately brought his subordinates back to Glory City.
That night, the scouts sent news.
A large group of beast hordes was going around Glory City. They were heading southeast from the forest at the side.
That was the direction where the Azure Dragon Legion was fleeing.
After hearing this news.
Everyone in Glory City smiled as if they had been relieved of a heavy burden.
The City Lord saved their lives again!

Glory City could not withstand the storm.
He Chuan had made a good plan this time, bringing Glory City a precious buffer time.
The beast tide that was triggered more than ten days earlier by the natural disaster had caught everyone by surprise.
If they did not do something, Glory City would definitely fall into this disaster.
However, this strategy could only be used once.
No second Azure Dragon Legion could share the pressure for him again.
If he wanted to avoid the outcome of Glory City's destruction in the deduction, increasing his strength was undoubtedly the most crucial step!
Thus, in the next few days.
He Chuan directly went into seclusion to cultivate.
The Tyrannical True Cultivation Manual was fully circulated, and the efficiency increased tremendously under the Heavenly Dao's blessing.
So much so that on the third day, He Chuan successfully broke through to the third stage awakened.
It wasn't just him.
The awakened ones in the city also began to practice the guiding technique diligently, all working hard to become stronger.
Although the final result wasn't as abnormal as He Chuan breaking through to the third stage, many had made significant progress after absorbing the spiritual crystals.
They believed that as long as they were given another half a month, there would be people who could advance to a higher realm.
However, time did not wait for them.
Glory City had not been peaceful these few days.
A few strange beasts would still attack them on a daily basis.
The number of attacks increased as time passed, making them extremely annoying.
It was obvious that the Azure Dragon Legion, which had been used as bait, was about to be wiped out.
It was estimated that the beast tide would pounce on them soon.
At this moment, He Chuan slowly opened his eyes.
He felt the abnormally abundant spiritual energy in his body, and his heart calmed down a little.
Now, with his strength, he might be able to deal with the strange beasts that had appeared in the deduction.
But it wasn't certain.
After all, he hadn't actually met them before, and it was hard to say who was stronger or weaker.
He had two ways to prove this conjecture.
The first way was to go out of the city and try to find two strange beasts.
This was the simplest and most straightforward way.
The second way was to use the ability to deduce the future.
This 'great deduction technique' could help him find the most likely outcome.
It could save a lot of time.
But He Chuan thought it over carefully and decided to go out of the city.
The energy required for the free deduction technique was too excessive. After the deduction, he might be unconscious for another one or two days.
Moreover, the effect was minimal.
The last deduction lasted only a few minutes.
Now that he had broken through to the third stage, it would at most double the time.
What was the use of this?
The information he obtained was too little. He only knew the ending of the destruction of Glory City. To him, there was no other use other than increasing the pressure.
He might as well forget about this ability and put it aside.
When he cultivated to the seventh stage or the eighth stage of the awakened, or even the ninth stage, he could use it to deduce the world and obtain a higher score.
Using it to save Glory City was an overkill.
He Chuan felt he could do it without using the free deduction technique.
Then, he found Xu Ke and described the scene he saw in the deduction world. He wanted to see if the other party knew the exact location.
Unfortunately, without a landmark as a reference, Xu Ke did not even know the general direction.
He Chuan had no choice but to go out and look for it himself.
In his impression, that ape-like strange beast was especially fierce. So far, he had not encountered an existence more potent than it.
As long as he could get rid of it, he could also prove his strength from the side.
When Xu Ke, Lin Cheng, and the others heard that the City Lord was going out, they were a little worried.
After all, there were more and more strange beasts hiding outside the Glory City. One person's strength was limited.
Now, not to mention finding high-level strange beasts, even getting out of the forest outside the city was a problem.
"Don't worry. I'm not stupid. Why would I take the risk of dying?"
As he spoke, He Chuan decisively showed them the power of a spirit cultivator.
He stood on the city wall and simply spread out his five fingers.
Instantly, spirit energy swept out like a gale, and as it circulated, it burned with a 'bang', turning into a massive fireball.
Under the influence of He Chuan's outstanding fire control ability, countless flaming arrows were condensed and shot toward the strange beasts in the dense forest.
For a time, the wails continued without end. None of the strange beasts could withstand this casual attack.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The City Lord had only been in closed-door cultivation for a few days.
How did he become so fierce?
Xu Ke scratched his head in disbelief and asked in puzzlement, "Your Highness, have you broken through to the fifth stage awakened?"
"How can it be that fast?"
He Chuan chuckled, "It's only the third stage. Didn't I teach you guys how to differentiate the stages before?"
"The standard for a third stage awakened is to kill a medium-sized strange beast that's six to nine meters long one-on-one..." Lin Cheng was stunned as well. "You're too outstanding. Not only did you kill more than one beast, but you're also a few hundred meters away..."
"One day, when you're successful in your cultivation, you'll be able to do it too. I'll look for the strange beasts first. After you clean up those corpses, be on guard. If you encounter a beast tide, shout with your spiritual energy. I'll rush back when I hear you."
With that, He Chuan tapped his right foot lightly and leaped into the sky with the help of the rebound force. Spiritual energy gushed out from his body, turning into a streak of blue light and shooting into the distant horizon.
Seeing this scene...
Everyone was stunned again.
Spirit cultivator...
Were they really that handsome?

In the forest, the cries of beasts were incessant.
He Chuan flew over the seemingly endless forest, his speed increasing to the maximum.
Unfortunately, even though he had roughly checked all the strange beasts within a radius of tens of miles around Glory City within a few minutes, the result was still nothing.
Not to mention those strange beasts that could control the power of elements, he didn't even see one that was more than ten meters long.
After flying for a while more, He Chuan couldn't hold on any longer. He returned to the ground to recuperate.
Although this search was very efficient, it consumed a lot of spiritual energy.
In just a short while, nearly thirty percent of his spiritual energy in had been consumed, which greatly affected his combat power.
He had no choice. In order to avoid any unexpected situations, he could only use his Tyrannical True Cultivation Manual to recover his condition.
When the spiritual Qi in his body was almost full, He Chuan resumed his search.
In the end, he found the corpse of a strange beast not too far away.
He walked up and saw the beast's body was covered with mottled weapon wounds.
The fatal wound was the penetrating wound on its heart, and frost surrounded its fur. It seemed to be the work of a spirit cultivator who could control ice.
He Chuan frowned slightly.
With the beast tide flooding in, how could there still be awakened ones adventuring outside?
It would have been fine if it had been under normal circumstances.
Most of the strange beasts were defending their territory and wouldn't run around.
No matter how loud the fight between you and the strange beasts was, it wouldn't cause other strange beasts to come and join in.
But it was different now.
The strange beasts had long gone into a frenzy.
Unless you killed them instantly, the nearby strange beasts would definitely come and attack them in groups upon hearing the sound.
Judging from the traces left at the scene, it was definitely not the former.
There were quite a number of giant strange beasts' running trails on the ground.
It was evident that this awakened was in trouble.
'Should I go and take a look?'
He Chuan pondered for a while in his heart, but in the end, he decided to follow the tracks.
There were a few footprints on the ground that were unusually large.
It might be the target he was looking for.
Judging from the unmelted frost, the battle should not be over for long.
With his speed, it would be effortless for him to catch up with the beasts.
He Chuan circulated his spiritual energy and rose into the air again.
Not long after, he saw a large group of beasts gathering at the foot of a cliff.
Taking a closer look, the scene was too horrible to look at.
In the center, there was a beautiful girl who was covered in ice crystals.
She was covered in blood, and there were a few wounds on her thighs and chest caused by being pierced by sharp teeth. It seemed that she had died from her serious injuries.
However, the ice crystals were exceptionally tough. The beasts couldn't leave any deep marks even after chewing on them repeatedly, so her corpse could still be preserved for the time being.
The strength of this kind of spiritual energy was probably close to the peak third stage awakened.
Apart from that, there was also a large pile of mutilated corpses being devoured by dozens of small-sized strange beasts. All of them were beyond recognition, and none were spared.
Judging from the weapons scattered on the side, this team of awakened ones should have more than thirty people.
Even they had died here, so the strength of the strange beasts could be clearly seen.
He Chuan then turned his gaze to the strange beasts around him. As expected, he saw a few existences with abnormally strong auras.
There was actually that ape-type strange beast he had met in the deduction back then among them!
"Let me see how powerful you are!"
He immediately made his move without saying a word!
Flames lit up, and the high temperature instantly ignited the entire mountain forest. Raging flames raged along with it.
Countless strange beasts died upon contact, and even the ice crystals wrapped around the young girl melted bit by bit under the terrifying temperature.
In an instant, only a few strange beasts that could control elements were left.
They roared at the sky in unison, using their respective abilities trying to knock He Chuan down from the sky.
He Chuan was prepared for the battle. First, he used the flame barrier to protect his entire body. Then, he took out the demonic Buddhist monk knife he had never used before.
The knife's was shrouded in black qi. Just by holding it in his hand, he could feel the evil power retained within.
He felt it would be a challenging battle for him, so he attacked with his strongest skill.
In the end, the blade slashed down.
The strong wind swept over. Not only did it disperse the attacks of those strange beasts, but the extended blade energy also easily cut through their bodies!
What was going on?
The unrivaled existence in the deductive world was as useless as a piece of paper in front of him?
"Am I too strong?"
He Chuan was greatly surprised. He lowered his head to look at the weapon in his hand. "Or is this demonic knife too powerful?"
"Roar!"
Below him, the ape-like strange beast with its arms and legs chopped off let out an indignant roar.
He Chuan kept away the demonic knife and fought with it, but the result was still the same.
All the strange beasts, including the giant ape, were killed in one move by him. They had no room to fight back at all. They were ridiculously weak.
Could this be the reason for the destruction of Glory City?
Could it be that he had guessed wrong?
He Chuan felt that it wasn't that simple.
He felt he had overlooked some details but couldn't figure out what they were at the moment.
Forget it!
Let's not dwell on this.
He Chuan felt that the core issue was still his strength.
If he was now a ninth stage awakened and had reached the peak of the world, would he still be worried about the beast tide?
There was no need for that!
He immediately burned all the corpses of the beasts and collected all the spirit crystals, preparing to bring them back to Glory City.
After that, there was only the corpse of a young lady whose ice crystals mainly had melted.
Hm?
Wait a minute...
She didn't seem to be dead yet.
When He Chuan got closer, he realized that the young lady's body was still emitting spiritual energy fluctuations.
The ice elemental energy was even healing the wound bit by bit!
However, it seemed to be very slow.
It seemed the girl had used a large amount of spiritual energy to resist the invasion caused by his fire ability in order to maintain the existence of the ice crystals.
Otherwise, if he let her heal herself like this, she might still be able to survive.
This made He Chuan feel a little embarrassed.
If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have died if the beasts lost their patience and dispersed?

"In that case, I better make up for it."
Out of guilt, He Chuan planned to bring the girl back to Glory City.
On the way, he kept using spirit crystals to replenish her spriritual energy, so it didn't worsen the situation.
When he arrived at Glory City, the ice crystals had already recovered to their original thickness.
Very good!
Just as he had expected!
This way, he wouldn't have to bear the psychological burden of harming a human life for nothing.
He Chuan heaved a sigh of relief.
Although he had killed countless people, the ones he had killed were all bad people.
He had a sense of justice and responsibility to back him up.
He had a clear conscience!
Facing such a situation suddenly, he felt a little pressured.
When Xu Ke, Lin Cheng, and the others saw He Chuan had returned so quickly, they were somewhat delighted.
However, when they saw the beautiful girl he had brought with him, their gazes became strange again.
"Your Highness, why did you bring the Princess of the neighboring country here?"
"What? I'm not understand."
He Chuan put down the ice crystal casually. "I met her on the way when looking for the strange beast. I almost killed her, so I brought her back to let her recuperate."
Xu Ke looked at the wounds on the girl's body and scratched his head. "How could you do this to such a beautiful girl?"
"She was already like this when I went there."
He Chuan explained, then said, "No matter who she is, we'll talk about it after the beast Tide is over. Now, find someone to bring her to my residence's guest room to settle her down. You'll go with me to the storehouse."
"Yes, Sir!"
Although the girl's identity was exceptional, He Chuan didn't pay much attention to her.
He was more interested in the statistical report of the storehouse.
After checking, he found that the current stock of resources was mostly beast meat and spirit crystals. It was increasing every day and couldn't be used up.
"If we don't use it, it'll be a bit of a waste."
He Chuan turned to look at Xu Ke. "Is there any way to contact the merchants of Freedom City now?"
"It's very difficult." Xu Ke frowned, "There are too many strange beasts on the road. If we send too few people, it will be impossible to break through. If we send too many people, it will attract a group of beasts. Unless everyone can fly like your highness, otherwise, there is no way to spread the news."
Then there was no other way.
He Chuan shook his head secretly.
To fly, one must have very precise control over one's strength.
And this was the benefit of the Tyrannical True Cultivation Manual. No one else could learn it just because they wanted to.
Unless they were strong or experienced enough.
As for asking the awakened ones to give up the guiding technique and practice the Tyrannical True Cultivation Manual...
This thought has only just appeared when he rejected it.
These people didn't even understand the guiding technique.
How could they possibly learn the Tyrannical True Cultivation Manual?
It wasn't that He Chuan looked down on these people.
Geniuses were truly rare.
There might not even be one in the entire Glory City.
If it couldn't be mass-produced, the idea of delivering goods by air wouldn't be feasible.
It was better to develop steadily.
During the beast tide period, there wasn't much chance for them to spread their wealth. They could talk about it after they got through it.
In any case, the city didn't lack resources for the time being and didn't lack that little bit of extra improvement.
He Chuan then sorted out the spirit crystals he had harvested from this trip and kept the few from the bodies of strange beasts with elemental energy. He brought them back to his mansion to cultivate in seclusion.
He wanted to see what was different about these spirit crystals, so he immediately absorbed them.
He held one in each hand.
Immediately, boundless spiritual energy flowed into his arms through the meridians.
In just a moment, his body felt full.
"Eh?"
He Chuan was astonished. "It can be absorbed and fused directly?"
That was strange.
Didn't the spirit crystals have to be absorbed slowly?
And they couldn't absorb too much at one time.
Otherwise, the violent foreign spiritual energy would go out of control and wreak havoc inside his body.
At that time, he would be injured at most, and at worst, he would die!
Previously, there were already quite a number of awakened ones in the city who wanted to quickly increase their strength to verify this point.
This caused everyone to be cautious when cultivating.
But now...
"Could it be that the spiritual energy of this kind of high grade spirit crystal is gentler?"
He Chuan couldn't figure out the specific reason.
However, this was very good news for him.
As long as the quantity was sufficient, advancing to level four or even level five awakened ones in a short period of time wasn't a problem!
"Looks like I'll have to leave the city frequently."
...
In the following days.
He Chuan's daily tasks were very dull.
He left the city during the day to look for strange beasts, and returned to the city at night to cultivate.
During this period, the beast tide also attacked the city once.
However, the pressure was very normal.
Currently, the number of awakened ones in Glory City has already exceeded 20,000.
Most of them had cultivated to level two.
Their strength was very secure.
They could still fight back and forth against medium-sized strange beasts in groups of three or five.
Defending the city wasn't a problem at all.
However, there were still casualties.
Although martial arts cultivators walked the path of strengthening their bodies and their wounds recovered quickly, they couldn't resist fighting and guarding for resources every day.
If there were too many injuries, they couldn't hold on.
The number of casualties increased. In the blink of an eye, it had become a problem that He Chuan couldn't ignore.
There were not enough medicinal herbs in the city.
"It's really like a house that leaks when it rains."
He Chuan had long expected that the beast tide would bring many problems, but he did not expect it to come so quickly.
The roads between the cities were not open, making it impossible to do business.
Where would he get the medicinal herbs that 20,000 people needed?
He once again felt the deep malice of the reincarnated world towards the reincarnators.
No wonder it was said the higher the difficulty of the world, the harder it was to obtain a high score.
He was still in the initial stage of reincarnation, yet he was unable to deal with such a difficult situation even with deduction system and the rebate as a BUFF.
He could completely imagine how desperate other people would be in such a situation.
What should he do...
He Chuan leaned back in his chair, his index finger slowly tapping on the table surface, continuously deducing in his mind.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and he thought of something!
Medicinal cuisine!
Medicinal ingredients might not be the only ones with medicinal value!
Food could also be used!
There were so many strange beast meat in the storehouse, and their attributes differed. Why couldn't he make use of them?
At that moment, He Chuan directly devoted his entire body and mind to researching medicinal cuisine.
[Beast meat number one has a bitter and sour taste, has a cold nature, and eating them too much may cause diarrhea.]
[Beast meat number two has a spicy taste, has a hot nature, and eating too much of it has the effect of strengthening the meridians. ]
[Beast meat number three...]
Very good!
He could analyze it.
What he needed to do next was to mix the unique characteristics of the strange beast meat of various attributes through a unique cooking method to achieve a better effect.
What He Chuan didn't expect was that his way of thinking was actually incredibly correct, to the point that he had found a way that afternoon!
When he sent his subordinates to the military camp with a large pot of soup made from all kinds of strange beast meat, and supplemented by a small number of herbs and crystals.
Many people looked at him in surprise.
What is wrong with the City Lord today?
Why is he in such a good mood?
Is he cooking for them personally?

The meat of strange beasts was still too unfamiliar to them.
After all, this world of the recovery of spiritual essence was still in its initial stage of development.
For more than ten years, the awakened ones had not even figured out the cultivation method, and their overall strength was still at the middle and low level.
It was already very good that they could defend this small area of the human race. They simply did not have the ability to explore other things.
Not to mention this group of newly awakened ones in front of them.
All the knowledge was taught by He Chuan, the little newbie.
The concept of medicinal cuisine directly impacted their poor sea of knowledge.
When He Chuan explained the effects of medicinal cuisine to them.
Although there was the word 'medicinal' in the name of this thing, its effects weren't as simple as treating illnesses and injuries!
Tempering the body... Consolidating the foundation... Relaxing and expanding the meridians...
As long as it was related to cultivation, it included everything!
The only thing that needed to be done was to modify the cooking materials!
Combining different strange beast meat together!
Using a special cooking method to deal with it!
Everyone was extremely surprised.
Strange beast meat could also increase one's strength?
Becoming stronger just by eating?
The City Lord isn't joking with us, right?
Although He Chuan's prestige in Glory City was increasing day by day and had already reached a point where no one could compare to him.
But this kind of unheard-of effect still made many people suspicious.
But when they saw with their own eyes that each and every one of the martial cultivators whose wounds were more than ten centimeters long recovered within a short few days after taking the medicinal cuisine, leaving only a small scar.
This kind of doubt was completely gone!
For a moment, everyone was discussing this.
"The City Lord is too amazing, right? He has only been in Glory City for a short period of time. Not only did he tidy up the internal affairs of the city, he even trained all of us to become awakened ones. Within a few days, he even developed a medicinal cuisine. Why do I feel that the things he did, if it were me, I might not even be able to do it in ten years?"
"That's not nonsense! His Highness is so talented! How can you and I compare?"
"I really don't understand. His Highness also only had one head and two hands. How can he think of all these?"
"Geniuses are always misunderstood by the world. If His Highness is as bright as the sun and moon, then we are not even considered grass. We are not even on the same level. How can we think of it?"
"You're right..."
Most people in the city agreed with this statement.
They gradually realized the gap between themselves and 'geniuses'.
However, this feeling did not make them depressed.
His Highness was helping them!
They were not enemies!
The more powerful his highness was, the more powerful Glory City would be!
Driven by this thought, their belief in defending Glory City became firmer and firmer!
It was also because of this that He Chuan unexpectedly received a notification from the reincarnation seal.
[The character settings has been slightly reversed! Has stunning talent of controlling the hearts of the people in a city. The number of followers has exceeded to 99%. The life achievements of the 'First Generation Genius' and 'Controlling A Region' have been unlocked. The final rating has been increased sognificantly!]
Finally, there was a wave of relatively substantial gains.
However, He Chuan was not satisfied with this.
He wanted to speed up the process and try to break through himself in this reincarnation, and completely control the application of the great deduction technique.
And the realm and strength were the most crucial part.
After dealing with the aftermath of the wounded in the city, and handing all the medicinal cuisine recipes to Lin Cheng and Xu Ke for safekeeping, he once again went into seclusion.
Gradually, the number of beast tides increased day by day.
From a few hundred to thousands of medium-sized and small-sized beasts to attack.
From the back, tens of thousands of medium-sized beasts attacked the city at the same time.
The scene of ten thousand beasts attacking the city was magnificent.
The martial arts cultivators used their own flesh and blood to defend the city, and people died in the chaotic battle every second.
The beasts were stimulated by the smell of blood and became even more frantic.
Occasionally, there were a few large-scale beasts with special abilities that swept across the battlefield, bringing tremendous pressure to the awakened ones who were defending.
Such existences were difficult to deal with even for the few spirit cultivators in the new army.
Fortunately, He Chuan wasn't in the closed-door cultivation and could help at any time.
Otherwise, Glory City would have been destroyed in the face of such a threat.
"Still a little weak."
He Chuan wasn't too satisfied.
With the double acceleration of the crystal and the medicinal diet, the strength of the newly awakened legion still couldn't increase quickly.
Almost half a month had passed.
Not even a level 3 awakened appeared. It was indeed a little ridiculous.
He didn't know whether it was because it was more difficult to break through in the high-dimensional world or because these people were too lacking in talent.
However, after thinking about it carefully, there was no way to be too harsh on them.
This year was different from the past.
The difficulty of the beast tide this time could be said to be unprecedented.
The natural disaster had driven all the strange beasts in the snow mountain range over.
Even if they had developed for more than ten years, the Freedom City, which was known as an iron wall, might not be able to withstand this crisis.
Not to mention that their Glory City, which had already declined and had just developed not long ago, was already in decline.
"If it's a group battle, the magic cannon should be very useful."
He Chuan suddenly remembered the three strategies Lin Ya had set up.
However, the magic cannon had been aborted because of the beast tide, so it couldn't be produced.
However, it was different now.
He was already a level-three awakened.
He could easily fly very far.
He could go wherever he wanted.
As long as he brought a few precious resources, he could go to other cities to exchange for the blueprint.
The closest one was Freedom City.
It just so happened that He Chuan wanted to meet the Dojo Master of the Wuji Dojo and talk about training issues.
After Lin Cheng and the others learned about it, they didn't have any objections.
They now had full confidence in He Chuan's strength.
They weren't afraid of him encountering any dangers if he went out.
On the contrary.
What they had to worry about was whether or not Glory City could be defended when He Chuan left.
Lin Ya stepped forward at the right time and started to talk about a detail.
The beast tide wasn't endless.
After every wave of the beast tide, there would be a period of buffer time.
As long as they waited for the next wave of the beast tide to end and sent out scouts to investigate, once they encountered a large number of strange beasts and used the smell of blood to lure them to other places, they should be able to ensure a few days of peace in Glory City.
This suggestion was accepted by He Chuan.
Thus, after waiting for two days.
He Chuan directly took action and annihilated a wave of over 10,000 medium-sized strange beasts!
Flames blotted out the sky and covered the earth.
Spirit energy turbulence swept through the entire area!
Under his unparalleled strength, there was no strange beast that could resist at all.
The people in Glory City were all stunned.
Even though it wasn't the first time they had seen He Chuan take action.
But every time they saw such a scene, they would still be deeply shocked.
Too strong!
So strong that it was exaggerated!
They even felt that if the City Lord were to compete with them, he would be able to destroy the entire Glory City with the same casual move!
After that, He Chuan packed up his luggage.
He brought all the high-grade spirit crystals with him.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard the City Lord Manor's maid rushing over to report that the girl who had been frozen in the ice had awoken.
He thought about it and decided to turn back to take a look. He planned to ask the girl if she wanted to stay in Glory City for a few days.
Not to mention anything else, he could feel much more at ease with such a third-stage spiritual cultivator guarding the city.
In the end.
When He Chuan saw her.
The girl's remarks were astonishing.
The first sentence stunned him.
"The Ninth Princess of the Xu Kingdom, Su Wan, greets husband."

This girl called Su Wan had already changed into a light-colored long dress. She was extremely beautiful, and her temperament was gentle and pure. She was like a lotus flower that was untainted by mud.
Coupled with the sickly pallor on her face, one could not help but want to take good care of her.
Such a beautiful woman introduced herself in such a gentle voice and even called him husband...
Most men would not be able to withstand it!
But what kind of storm had He Chuan not seen before?
He just felt that it was a little strange and asked bluntly, "Miss, you have mistaken me for someone else, right?"
Su Wan shook her head gently, "I heard from others that it was you, this gentleman, who saved me. As the old saying goes, a life-saving grace should be repaid with one's body. Wan 'Er has no way to repay it. She is willing to serve Young Master by his side in the future, accompanying him until the black hair turn white."
These words sounded reasonable, but the tone was not right. It was light and emotionless. It was obvious that it was done on purpose.
"As expected of a princess. Her words are quite artistic."
He Chuan chuckled. He had already seen through the other party's thoughts. He said, "I don't need you to repay me with your body, nor do I need you to repay me. I just need you to make a deal with me."
Su Wan's eyes were as clear as water, "Young Master, please speak."
"Help me defend the city for a few days. After the beast tide passes, I'll send you back to Xu Country. How about it?"
"..."
Hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared on Su Wan's face. "That's it?"
"Of course." He Chuan glanced at her, "What else if not this?"
Su Wan was silent.
Although she had just woken up, she was not completely unaware of the time she had been frozen.
From the beginning when He Chuan appeared on the cliff, he displayed his might and destroyed the beast tide.
Then, he hugged her and sized her up... She knew everything when he brought her back to the mansion in the city.
Su Wan originally thought that the young man in front of her had taken a fancy to her looks, so he sent someone to take good care of her. He even spent a big amount of rare spirit crystals to nourish her lost spirit energy.
Since she was in a foreign country, a strong dragon could not suppress a local snake, so she took the initiative to cater to him on the surface.
She was prepared to take the opportunity to escape when the time was right.
In the end, this youth had let her go just like this?
To be honest, she was somewhat unable to fathom He Chuan's thoughts.
She did not know if this youth was playing hard to get, or if he was sincere.
He Chuan's expression was natural, and he knew what she was thinking. "Don't worry, I have no feelings for you. No matter what, I was once a Crown Prince. If I want to get you, there's no need for such a trick."
Su Wan was stunned, "... Crown Prince? You Are... He Chuan?"
"Yes."
Hearing the affirmative answer, Su Wan's heart was finally relieved.
She had long heard that there was a Crown Prince called He Chuan in the Wu Kingdom. He was wise, kind, and loved by the people.
But... How did he end up guarding such a small border town?
Out of curiosity, she asked.
He Chuan answered simply.
When she learned that He Chuan had been demoted, Su Wan let out a soft sigh. Her expression was complicated, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"How did you come to the Wu Kingdom? And you were surrounded by so many beasts?" He Chuan asked.
"I went to get betrothed. It was just that I happened to run into a beast tide riot. In order to avoid the beast tide, we got lost in the forest. We ran for a long time but couldn't find the main road."
"Betrothed?" He Chuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "With the Wu Kingdom?"
"No."
Su Wan was a little depressed. "The Xu Kingdom was fighting with the enemy kingdom. A natural disaster suddenly occurred, which led to 800,000 soldiers being trapped in the valley. The enemy kingdom took the opportunity to kill them. The main forces of the Xu Kingdom were exhausted, so they could only choose to cut off their land and make peace to avoid the war..."
At this point, she smiled self-deprecatingly, "Who would be willing to be the sacrifice of politics? But among my Emperor Father's 17 daughters, my Concubine Mother died a long time ago, and I'm the only one who has no maternal family to protect me. So what if I'm unwilling?"
He Chuan understood now. It seemed that the impact of this natural disaster was very great. Perhaps it would change the world's structure to a certain extent.
Recalling what happened to Jiang Wenyue, he felt that he had to be on guard.
He turned his gaze and looked at the girl in front of him again.
"In that case, are you unable to return to the Xu Kingdom?"
"Yes..."
Su Wan buried her head and two clear tears fell at her feet. She felt indescribably sad.
"If you don't have any ideas and don't have anywhere to go, for the time being, you can stay in Glory City for a while. You can leave whenever you want, and Freedom City isn't far from here."
He Chuan's gaze was deep. He had a bold idea in his heart. "If you feel indignant and want to take revenge on your Emperor Father and Xu Country, I can help you."
This time, He Chuan's words were even more shocking, directly stunned Su Wan.
"Do you... know what you're talking about..." There was a look of disbelief on her face, as if she had never expected He Chuan to say such a thing.
"Of course, I know. Why? You don't believe me?"
He Chuan raised one hand, and the flame rose immediately. The terrifying high temperature swept through the entire room, and many wooden things emitted a burning smell.
He looked down at Su Wan and said word by word, "Maybe one day, I will do the same thing. In this world, the strong prey on the weak. If you want to control your own future, you have to control the future of others first!"
"I. . ."
Su Wan's heart was a little flustered, "But... no matter what, that's my Emperor Father..."
"I didn't ask you to kill him." He Chuan smiled faintly. "There are many ways to subvert the regime, and there are many ways to protect yourself. However, it depends on whether you want to live on your knees or not."
Su Wan bit her red lips. "I will think about it for a while more..."
"You're free to do so."
He Chuan walked out of the room, "I want to make a trip to the Freedom City. It's okay as long as you can make a choice before I return."
Su Wan did not say anything.
"Oh, that's right."
Before he left, He Chuan turned around and threw the Tyrannical True Cultivation Manual to her. "It is not enough to help me defend Glory City with your current level. You need to improve yourself."
Su Wan took it and watched He Chuan leave in confusion.
Then, she flipped to the first page.
The contents made her eyes widen.
"How could there be such a perfect cultivation technique..."

He Chuan left Glory City without bumping into anyone else.
According to his plan.
Su Wan should be able to comprehend the profound mysteries of the Tyrannical True Cultivation Manual soon after she obtained it.
After all... A person like her who could break through to level three of the awakened one at such a young age must be quite talented.
She would be entrusted with the responsibility of protecting Glory City for the time being.
As for whether the other party would secretly take away the Tyrannical True Cultivation Manual and spread it in Xu Country...
He Chuan did not have such concerns at all.
Anyway, with the rebate BUFF, all losses would bring him even greater gains.
You want to run away with it?
I would be more than happy to!
However, after such a short encounter.
He Chuan felt that Su Wan was not such a person.
He could see that this girl was very opinionated. She was meticulous and knew when to advance and retreat.
She should be able to imagine that the best outcome of bringing the Tyrannical True Cultivation Manual back to Xu Country would only be to get rid of the betrothal.
However, she will still live under the control of the imperial power.
If such a thing happened again one day, she would still become a political victim without any background.
Smart people knew how to change.
Now that the opportunity was right in front of them, who would ignore it?
He Chuan smiled confidently.
He had revealed his trump card in front of Su Wan to convince her that he had the ability.
As long as Su Wan agreed, he would support her and step by step reach the peak of Xu State's power.
At that time, he would be in control of the resources in her hands. By then, it would be much more convenient for him to do anything.
Especially the rebellion!
With the help of other countries' forces, the success rate would be much higher.
To be honest, He Chuan did not want to waste his energy on this aspect.
However, the Crown Prince in the imperial court who always wanted him dead was really annoying.
If he did not get the words out of the Azure Dragon Marshal's mouth.
He did not know that this big brother would actually set up several schemes to frame him before instigating the Azure Dragon Legion to leave Glory City!
The most vicious one was to have the Azure Dragon Marshal treat him to a meal under the guise of building a relationship with him, and then secretly put aphrodisiacs in the wine.
This was to let his bestiality flare up and have sex with the beautiful woman arranged later.
After the dead of night, the Azure Dragon Marshal would send people to kill the woman and frame him!
In this way, although he, the eighteenth prince, was not sentenced to death because of his noble status, it was inevitable that he would have to bear the blame.
The people will not not tolerate him.
The military camp will look down on him.
He will lose all prestige and become a loner!
At that time, no matter how capable he was, he would not be able to lead Glory City to prosperity, let alone resist the beast tide.
However, for some unknown reason, this method was abandoned by the Crown Prince and he chose another method.
Even so, He Chuan still held a grudge against him.
"You've given me so many gifts. Don't even think about becoming the Crown Prince anymore."
He Chuan narrowed his eyes and flew up into the sky.
It was snowing heavily in the mountains again, and the cries of beasts were incessant. Before he had gone far, he could see a few high-level strange beasts wandering around.
It was estimated that they would become part of the siege soon.
The beast Horde charging at them was getting stronger and stronger.
Along the way, they saw no less than a hundred large-scale strange beasts.
Compared to the previous beast tide, the number had increased by more than three times.
He didn't act rashly.
If he burned them all, it might cause the beast tide to become restless.
If the beast time attacked earlier than expected, it might not be worth it.
Thus, he ran all the way and soon arrived above Freedom City.
At first glance, He Chuan only had one impression in his mind.
Big!
Just the size of Freedom City was enough to crush Glory City.
Moreover, the city walls were filled with heavy cannons and arrow towers. Even the city walls were made of unknown black metal. It looked like a steel city.
This city's defense was more than ten times stronger than Glory City!
The battle cries from below shook the sky.
Unfortunately, they encountered a beast tide.
The abilities of countless awakened ones interweaved with the radiance of the cannonballs, forming an inviolable line of defense.
Medium-and small-sized strange beasts would die upon contact.
Only large-sized strange beasts could withstand the torrent of energy and charge into an area ten meters away from the city wall with great difficulty.
"They're a little fierce. They're all spirit cultivators."
He Chuan didn't show his face in the air.
He silently observed the strength of the city defense of Freedom City.
Most of them were third-stage awakened, accounting for about seven-tenths of the total.
The rest were mostly second-level awakened.
Only a very small number of them had the strength of a fourth-stage.
They were the core of the stabilizing battle line.
Once a super-large strange beast with special abilities broke through the defense line, they would immediately make a move.
However, what made He Chuan more puzzled was that.
These special strange beasts, which he had killed in an instant, were actually fighting back and forth with these fourth-stage spirit cultivators.
Was this a joke?
The quality of the spirit cultivators in Freedom City was so low?
With a thought, He Chuan stealthily stuck to the back of a flying strange beast. When the spirit cultivator below launched an attack, under the cover of the light, the flames lit up in an instant, enveloping it and the strange beast at the same time.
The people below only saw a black shadow that looked like a shooting star falling straight into the city.
Boom!
A private house was destroyed.
A few spiritual cultivators who had hurried over gathered their spirit energy in their hands at the same time, preparing to strike again.
In the end, they saw a youth stand up from the ruins. With one hand, he extinguished the flames on his body while stepping on the charred corpse of the strange beast, muttering something.
"How dare you attack me? Do you not want to live anymore!"
Those people were all shocked.
One of them went forward to take a look. After confirming that the strange beast was dead, he looked at He Chuan and said with a smile, "Little Brother, you're so fierce. You're still fine even after falling from such a high height?"
He Chuan casually waved his hand. "I'm lucky. This beast became my meat cushion."
"You're being modest now, aren't you?" That person laughed. "The battle on the city wall is very urgent. Do you want to go back with us? Or do you want to recuperate your spirit energy first?"
"I can still fight," He Chuan replied.
"Good! Young Man, you are indeed energetic!"
The man immediately led the way. "Let's go. The magic cannons at the east gate don't have enough shells. Let's go and reinforce the defense first!"
Magic cannons!
He Chuan's eyes instantly lit up. It seemed that his trip had not been in vain!
Following the footsteps of these awakened ones, he quickly arrived at the city wall and blended into the defensive camp.
The magic cannon was right next to him. Its entire body was dark purple as if it was made of some kind of crystal.
The cannonballs that were filled were also very strange. They were small, round balls of different colors, and their power was also different.
The deduction system operated in a timely manner.
Soon, a part of the target's data was deduced.
[Magic cannon: Made of magic crystals. After being filled with energy crystal cores, it can release powerful force.]
