I have been a saint in the world for three thousand years

When the emperor heard Qin Mingrui's words, he couldn't help but sit up straight and his eyes lit up.

"What do you mean by that, my dear? Please tell me quickly."

Not only him, but even the ministers in the court who were arguing with each other pricked up their ears.

Some people remained silent, some had burning eyes, and more looked disdainful.

Everyone present knew his reputation. The thunderous means with which he destroyed a million-strong coalition army made everyone tremble in their hearts.

Even if they defeat the Yuan Dynasty on the battlefield, Dao Zun will eventually take action to reverse the situation.

This is a fact that everyone accepts.

"It has been hundreds of years since the founding of Nanhua. The territory under our rule covers tens of thousands of miles, and we have tens of millions of soldiers under our command. All of this was gained through the bloody battles of our predecessors."

"Now the Yuan army is at the border, and a declaration of war has been sent to the capital, which means they are ready to go to war with us at any time."

"I see that the Great Yuan Dynasty has only been established for a few decades. Although it has the signs of a prosperous dynasty, its foundation is still unstable. If we don't take this opportunity to defeat it in one fell swoop, when the Great Yuan Dynasty rises, many surrounding dynasties, including our Nanhua, will be annexed by the Great Yuan Dynasty."

"Besides, all the soldiers and sons of our Nanhua Dynasty have been through many battles. Why should we be afraid of the Yuan army?"

Qin Mingrui held the sword at his waist and spoke proudly.

However, everyone present had an indifferent expression and was completely unmoved.

The Minister of Personnel, who was nearly 70 years old, came out, bowed to Qin Mingrui and said, "I think no one in the court would question the strength of the royal division under General Qin, but did the general miss one person?"

Qin Mingrui narrowed his eyes and smiled with confidence.

"I naturally understand what Lord Li means, then what about the Great Yuan Dao Zun?"

Minister Li drooped his eyelids slightly and did not answer.

In terms of strength alone, Emperor Nanhua was fully confident that he could crush the Yuan Dynasty, but who would have expected that there would be such a monster as the Great Yuan Taoist Master.

Qin Mingrui bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. We only need to focus on the battle with the Yuan army. The Great Yuan Dao Zun will be dealt with by his own people."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an immediate uproar of discussion.

Some were surprised, some cheered, but more were questioning.

Soon, the ministers with different opinions started arguing again, and the whole court was like a vegetable market.

"quiet!"

A loud shout was heard, suppressing the noise.

Everyone only felt a sound of piercing the clouds and splitting the rocks in their ears. Their faces turned extremely pale in the blink of an eye, their eardrums ached, and they could not stand steadily.

Qin Mingrui burst out with the aura of the peak of the Innate Realm, and his roar was like the roar of a lion or a tiger. The terrifying pressure swept across the entire hall, and the dust on the beams fell off.

"There is so much noise in the court, how disgraceful!"

At this moment, the emperor, who had been sitting in silence, spoke.

"Qin Aiqing, you said that the Great Yuan Dao Zun has someone to deal with him. Tell me about it."

For a moment, everyone pricked up their ears, curious about where Qin Mingrui got his confidence from, afraid of missing any details.

Qin Mingrui just shook his head and said, "I don't know the reason, but I can guarantee one thing. If the Great Yuan Daoist Master dares to take action, he will never return!"

"But it is said that the Great Yuan Daoist Master has the power of an immortal. Not only can he survive the thunder tribulation with his physical body, but he can also move mountains by himself. In the battle between the seven dynasties, he brought natural disasters and swept away a million troops. With all these things, how can people not be afraid of him?"

Some officials expressed their concerns.

However, Qin Mingrui could not help laughing at these rumors. He pointed at the official and cursed, "You are a scholar, but you actually believe in such absurd things. There are no immortals in this world. It's just fake news spread by the Yuan Dynasty to build momentum for the Taoist master."

He paused here, as if remembering something, and continued.

"If you want to talk about immortals..."

Having said this he stopped talking again, leaving people to think a lot.

Without waiting for others to continue asking questions, Qin Mingrui knelt on one knee and asked the emperor for instructions.

"Now that war is about to begin, I, a humble servant, am willing to fight for your majesty and die for him. Please, your majesty, draft an order to immediately send troops to fight the Yuan Dynasty!"

As soon as Qin Mingrui finished speaking, the Minister of Personnel took over and begged the emperor to reconsider.

The emperor pondered for a moment, and without issuing any orders, he directly announced the adjournment of the court.

That night, Qin Mingrui stayed in the palace for the first time.

Three days later, the emperor's edict came down, the entire Nanhua Dynasty was mobilized, and countless soldiers rushed to the front line.

...

The twenty-first year of Zhenghe.

August.

It was the height of summer, and the scorching heat was affecting everyone.

Ding Honghua, wearing armor, stood under the shade of a tree and looked into the distance. Everywhere he looked was a huge army.

“It seemed to be around this time of year.”

He murmured quietly.

At this moment, the young general who was delivering the order came running over and knelt on one knee to report the military situation.

"Report! The 300,000-man Ningzhou Army has arrived at the front line. General, please issue the military order!"

Ding Honghua nodded and issued several orders in an orderly manner.

After receiving the order, the young general left quickly and passed the general's order on.

"Father."

A young man about twenty years old walked over slowly.

The young man was tall and handsome, with a handsome face. He was wearing silver armor and a helmet on his head. The silver armor reflected a cold luster in the sunlight.

This man's name is Ding Qian, and he is Ding Honghua's most respected eldest son.

"Qian'er, you're here."

Ding Qian nodded slightly, stood beside Ding Honghua, and looked into the distance together.

This place is located on the border between the Yuan Dynasty and the Nanhua Dynasty.

The endless chevaux de frise and trenches separated the two armies like the boundary between Chu and Han, and they faced each other from afar.

Military tents, chariots, flag towers, iron armor and sharp swords made up this battlefield that stretched for dozens of miles.

Every Yuan soldier had a relaxed expression on his face, as if this war was insignificant to them.

On the other hand, the soldiers of the Nanhua Dynasty frowned, looking into the distance at the Yuan Dynasty camp, then stamped their feet and looked up at the sky, fearing that something terrible was about to happen.

"Qian'er, this is your first time on the battlefield. Are you scared?"

Hearing this, Ding Qian clenched the sword in his hand and it was trembling slightly.

It wasn't fear, it was excitement.

"Father, I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

The young man spoke in a strong voice, showing no fear at all, but instead was eager to try.

Ding Honghua stroked his beard and laughed.

Just as the two dynasties deployed millions of troops on the border, a figure quietly descended on Qingzhou in the territory of the Nanhua Dynasty.

Yan Xiu was wearing a green shirt and flying above the clouds.

Soon, Yan Xiu arrived at the White Moon Valley.

The vast white mist almost enveloped the entire White Moon Valley, making it impossible to get a full view of it.

I learned from Hong Qingtian that this piece of fog is the first level of the protective formation of the Xianyue Holy Land.

"If there is a first level, then there must be a second and third level."

For ordinary warriors, trespassing into the formation of the Yuexian Holy Land is tantamount to suicide.

But to Yan Xiu, the protective formation of the Xianyue Holy Land was no different from a dilapidated building.

No matter how many methods you have, I can break them all with my force.

Yan Xiu stood on the clouds and quickly scanned the entire White Moon Valley with his spiritual sense.

"Let me see the thousand-year heritage of this Holy Land of the Moon."

As he said this, he flipped his right hand and the Heavenly Thunder Fire Fan fell from his sleeve.

He then poured a trace of spiritual energy into the fan and gently waved it towards the misty White Moon Valley.
