Despite having asked this question numerous times and receiving countless affirmative answers, Liu Wudi still harbored doubts. He simply could not believe that his daughter, who had been unable to cultivate since childhood, had miraculously solved the problem that had plagued them for decades during a trip to Shenwu City.

"Really! Really! Dad! I've said it so many times! It's truer than gold and silver!" Liu Wumei looked at her father impatiently. She didn't understand why her father refused to believe that he had recovered.

Liu Wumei reluctantly lifted the veil on her head, revealing her beautiful and extraordinary face. She looked at her father with firm eyes and reaffirmed, "Dad, I'm really fine!"

However, Liu Wudi still seemed to have doubts. He frowned and said to Liu Wumei seriously: "You...you prove it to me!"

Liu Wumei couldn't help but roll her eyes, secretly complaining in her heart, how many times have I said this, why doesn't my father believe it? However, she also knew that her father was so cautious because he cared too much about her.

"Oh! What a trouble!" Liu Wumei said coquettishly, then slowly stretched out her right hand and grasped the air.

In an instant, a terrifying true energy gathered in her palm like a surging wave, and the air around her seemed to tremble slightly because of this powerful force.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Wumei squeezed hard, and the true energy was instantly crushed, making a loud earth-shaking sound, like thunder, deafening.

This scene made Liu Wudi so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He opened his eyes wide and stared at Liu Wumei's hand, his face full of disbelief.

"This...this! Big girl, you are really okay!" After a long while, Liu Wudi came back to his senses. His voice trembled a little and his eyes gradually became moist.

Seeing her father's excited expression, Liu Wumei's heart softened. She walked forward, gently hugged her father, and said softly, "Dad, I'm really fine now. You don't have to worry about me anymore."

Liu Wudi hugged his daughter tightly, feeling the warmth and strength coming from her, and finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

Da! Da! Da! ... The series of horse hoofbeats was like the earth groaning in pain. Just as Liu Wudi was about to say something else, the ground suddenly shook violently, as if the whole world was about to be torn apart.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening sound of horse hooves came like a storm. The sound was like thousands of troops galloping past, so majestic that people couldn't help but be shocked.

"Dad! They're coming! The Youzhou troops are coming! You must hold on! Don't ruin Xingyun's plan!" Liu Wumei's voice sounded particularly urgent in the noisy environment. Her eyes were fixed on the distance, where dust was flying and a huge army was faintly visible, galloping towards them.

Liu Wudi heard his daughter's cry and turned to see the Youzhou army rapidly approaching like a raging torrent. However, his face didn't show the slightest fear, instead revealing a confident smile.

"Got it! Those brats from Youzhou aren't worth my respect. Watch out, not a single one of them will make it past!" Liu Wudi's voice was like a resounding bell, clearly audible across the clamorous battlefield. His words revealed a mixture of contempt for the enemy and absolute confidence in his own strength.

However, when Liu Wudi heard the word "Xingyun" from Liu Wumei's mouth, his expression changed slightly. The name was familiar to him; that was his son-in-law, Liu Wumei's husband. But now, Liu Wumei addressed Li Xingyun so affectionately, which made Liu Wudi feel a surge of mixed emotions.

He recalled that when Li Xingyun was on his way from Southern Xinjiang to Shenwu City, he had sent someone to inform his father-in-law to send troops south to prepare for an emergency. At the time, Liu Wudi didn't think much of it, thinking it was just Li Xingyun's cautious move. But now it seems that things are not that simple.

Liu Wudi naturally couldn't refuse, as he had no other choice. If Li Xingyun lost, Liu Ruyan would surely die, and his own Beiliang would inevitably be liquidated. Therefore, no matter how he considered it, Liu Wudi had to send troops!

Liu Wudi took a deep breath, quickly calmed himself down, then turned to give orders to the generals: "The entire army should form up and prepare to meet the enemy!" Although his voice was not loud, it was full of majesty and decisiveness.

"Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" Numerous Northern Liang generals responded in unison, their voices echoing throughout the battlefield. Immediately afterwards, the 200,000 elite Northern Liang troops swiftly sprang into action. Their well-trained movements were in unison, like a precision machine, methodically deploying their formations.

Just a quarter of an hour later, the iron cavalry from Youzhou surged in like a black torrent, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Liu Wudi. These iron cavalry were so powerful, and the sound of their horses' hooves was like thunder, as if the entire earth was shaking.

However, when the Youzhou Army Marshal saw the 200,000 elite Beiliang soldiers lined up in front of him waiting for battle, his face instantly became solemn and he couldn't help but take a breath.

Youzhou bordered Beiliang. Although the lower-ranking soldiers of the two regions might not know each other, as a leader in the army, he was well aware of these situations! With just one encounter, the Youzhou Army Marshal immediately realized that these 200,000 troops were all the elite of the Beiliang army!

"Haha..." A cold laugh echoed as Liu Wudi, riding a reddish-brown steed, slowly approached the front of the army. Clad in heavy armor, he looked imposing, the spear in his hand gleaming coldly in the sunlight. He looked down at the Grand Marshal of the Youzhou Army across from him, a hint of disdain playing on his lips as he spoke, "You little bastard from Youzhou! You're actually bringing so many troops to Shenwu City. Are you planning a rebellion?"

Liu Wudi's voice resonated like a mighty bell across the empty battlefield, causing pain in the eardrums. His words, though simple, were like a sharp sword, piercing the opponent's vital points.

However, the Grand Marshal of the Youzhou Army was not intimidated by Liu Wudi's aura. With his eyes wide open, he pointed at Liu Wudi's nose and cursed, "Liu Wudi! You're talking nonsense! Stop spitting bloody words at me! We are following the orders of the King of Youzhou and leading our troops into Shenwu City to execute those disloyal and unjust individuals. We have no other intentions!"

His voice was equally loud, responding to Liu Wudi's provocation without showing any weakness. The confrontation between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
