At the foot of Dongjiling Mountain.

When the soldiers saw Gu Beichen, their eyes sparkled.

This is their war god prince, who was just struck by lightning but is completely unharmed...

Uh, okay, some minor cuts and bruises.

But this does not affect his heroic image in their hearts.

"The God of War is mighty!"

"May Heaven bless Nanyao!"

Cheers erupted from the crowd, all in unison.

Gu Beichen touched his nose, glanced at Shen Wanwan, then quickly looked away, his ears turning slightly red.

"Alright, all soldiers, listen to my command!"

……

Gu Beichen had just finished handing over the instructions for disposing of the body when the sound of rapid hoofbeats suddenly came from afar.

A man and a horse were galloping towards this direction.

"Da da da!"

"Shut up!"

The soldier, in his early twenties, dismounted, glanced around at the crowd, and strode towards Gu Beichen and the others. But just as he was about to reach them, he paused slightly.

Who is the King of Qin and who is Young Master Xie?

Who is the extra one?

The soldier was dumbfounded; the three men in front of him were all dressed in white and possessed extraordinary bearing.

Although they were slightly different in temperament, he was just a lowly soldier and didn't have the ability to discern identities with keen eyes.

All eyes turned to the newcomer.

He was dressed in the uniform of a Jiangzhou naval soldier and looked nervous.

"Have you discovered any unusual activity in Japan?"

Given the King of Qin's noble status, he would undoubtedly be the first to speak.

The young soldier secretly breathed a sigh of relief and knelt down on one knee to salute Gu Beichen.

"Your Highness, the Japanese warships are approaching our coastline. General Xu instructed me to personally deliver this letter to you."

Gu Beichen and Xie Moxuan exchanged a glance before taking the letter from the soldier. Upon opening it, their expressions changed drastically.

According to the letter, Japanese warships had been stationed outside the warning line in the waters of Nan Yao Kingdom as early as five days prior.

They are now approaching the Southern Yao Kingdom and, based on their speed, will reach the shore this evening.

After reading the contents of the letter, Gu Beichen handed it to Xie Moxuan.

The further Xie Moxuan looked down, the more his heart sank.

Five days prior, the Jiangzhou naval camp had detected the Japanese actions and immediately took countermeasures.

For some reason, the soldiers were not allowed to enter or leave the camp at will.

For three days and three nights, the soldiers wandered around the camp, as if they were in a maze, unable to leave the camp area.

After the strange phenomenon yesterday, everyone in the camp finally came to their senses from their dazed state, but it wasn't until this morning that they were able to enter and leave the camp normally.

The letter mentioned that the leader of the delegation from Japan was Prince Ning, Cang Jinyu.

Cang Jinyu is the second prince of the Japanese Emperor and his only son with the Empress, so his status is naturally different from that of the other princes.

"The Japanese are clearly well-prepared this time. The Grand Preceptor will lead the charge to disrupt our defenses, and then the Prince of Ning of Japan will bring his troops ashore. They can take Jiangzhou without losing a single soldier."

Xie Moxuan looked up at Gu Beichen and continued, "If they follow the same method to capture other cities, they can soon march straight to the capital. But the Imperial Advisor is dead, and now they are launching a large-scale invasion..."

"If I'm not mistaken, the Japanese national advisor is on their ship right now."

Ye Tianlan said calmly, "As for the Prince of Ning of Dongying that you mentioned, he may have already been possessed."

The Imperial Preceptor was unwilling to die, and with a ready-made target for possession, he naturally wouldn't miss it.

Prince Ning is a prince from Japan, and he possesses a dragon aura, making him an excellent candidate for possession.

"Isn't that old man the National Preceptor of Japan? He's even turning against his own people?"

Nangong Wanning couldn't help but take a sip.

"I remember reading in storybooks that the body and soul that have been possessed will have a rejection reaction and it will take a long time to integrate."

"Their combat strength is very weak until the two are fully integrated."

"If we can kill them before they merge, wouldn't the crisis of war between the two countries be resolved?"

Nangong Wanning made a throat-slitting gesture.

The peaceful life that Nan Yaoguo had finally achieved could not be ruined by that old monster.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Ye Tianlan.

"Cousin Ning is right."

"Especially when the soul of a powerful being enters the body of an ordinary person, the time required for complete fusion is even longer."

"The strength will gradually recover to its original level during the integration process."

Ye Tianlan paused slightly, then continued, "His eagerness to attack Nanyao suggests that the Prince of Ning in Dongying might just be a stepping stone for him to possess someone else's body."

Their gazes fell on Gu Beichen, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Having been tempered by the power of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, one's physique is unmatched, let alone by ordinary people. Even among the strong individuals on Jingsi Island, few can rival it.

For the Imperial Advisor, who wanted to possess another body and be reborn, Gu Beichen's body was more attractive than any divine artifact.

The air instantly became still.

Everyone's attention shifted from Ye Tianlan to Gu Beichen.

Is he being targeted by the imperial advisor?

Gu Beichen touched his nose. "Don't worry, I won't let him have his way."

These words were spoken to Shen Wanwan.

Shen Wanwan nodded slightly, but her brows furrowed slightly.

The soldiers standing closer to the soldiers looked extremely grim, their faces showing worry.

Although they couldn't understand the meaning behind Ye Tianlan's words, they could roughly guess that the King of Qin was being watched and was in danger of being replaced at any time.

If they were just ordinary human traffickers, it would be fine, but the other party isn't even human. The prince was recently struck by lightning. If the other party attacks now, can they stop them?

"Your Highness, I have strong yang energy."

A weak voice rang out, and then, it became unstoppable:

“I have a talisman from Lingyin Temple. Before I joined the army, my mother went to Lingyin Temple to pray for it so that our family line would continue.”

“I have an ancestral jade pendant for warding off evil spirits. It was left to me by the great physician Feng when he passed by, as a token of gratitude for my ancestors’ good deeds.”

"I'm still a virgin, I can provide my urine anytime..."

With a formidable enemy at hand, the atmosphere, which should have been serious, suddenly changed.

Gu Beichen glared at the soldiers, annoyed. "We're fighting a war, not ghosts!"

If boy's urine were truly useful, he himself would have some.

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Gu Beichen's gaze fell on Shen Wanwan again, "Wanwan, you stay here..."

Shen Wanwan shook her head, "We can't help with the cleanup here."

"Let's go to the water camp together. Maybe we can be of some use."

Gu Beichen stared into Shen Wanwan's eyes, neither nodding in agreement nor directly refusing.

Xie Moxuan said, "It's good that they come along; more people mean more strength."

He knew why Gu Beichen hesitated.

However, the Japanese national advisor's strange behavior could not be resolved simply by using a child's urine.

If they were to use any other evil magic, they would be completely unable to resist.

"My current strength..."

Meeting Shen Wanwan's worried gaze, Gu Beichen nodded in response to his unfinished words.

Ye Tianlan summoned the Lingxu Sword, "Let's all go up, it'll be faster if we fly there on our swords."
