We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

Chapter 408: Husband Will Return Soon

In less than two monthsʼ time.

Xiao Mo traveled day and night, leading his great army to the battlefield of Qi Kingdom.

After Xiahou Nan saw that Xiao Mo had arrived, he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. However, Xiahou Nan also knew that since Frost Prince had come, this great war that had extended until now was also time to draw its curtain.

After the entire army rested and reorganized for seven days, Xiao Mo had also thoroughly understood the situation in Qi Kingdom.

Xiao Mo sent flying sword messages to Li Jing and Zhao Guang, telling them they no longer needed to guard the cities and could henceforth lead their great armies to attack Zhao Kingdom.

At the same time, Xiao Mo also led his great army to engage in a frontal confrontation with Qi Kingdom.

This first great battle had no conspiracies or schemes. Everything was open and aboveboard, face-to-face slaughter.

The ”Nation-Stabilizing Great General” Han Qian of Myriad Islands Nation and Gu Fei commanded the allied forces of Qi Kingdom and Myriad Islands Nation, confronting Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo rode his horse and stood before the military formation.

The moment Xiao Mo donned his Asura mask, the other four hundred thousand Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry and one million two hundred thousand Northern Frontier elite heavy armor troops simultaneously donned their masks.
A million Asura iron masks glinted with cold light, and the murderous aura on the battlefield grew increasingly thick.

The eyes exposed beneath the iron masks of the million-strong army all radiated killing intent, as if they would spare no cost to tear and gnaw the enemy to pieces!

”Truly an army of tigers and wolves!”

The Nation-Stabilizing Great General of Myriad Islands Nation, Han Qian, had originally looked down on Qin Kingdomʼs so-called Frost Prince, thinking he was merely built up by the previous Northern Pacification Prince but when he saw the military appearance of the Northern Frontier army, he no longer dared to underestimate them.

”Where is the great army of Qin Kingdom!”

Xiao Moʼs voice spread across the battlefield.

”Here!” The million-strong army shouted in unison, their shouts shaking the heavens.

”Follow me and charge to kill!!”

Xiao Mo pointed his long spear forward and was the first to charge forth. Following closely behind Xiao Mo were the four hundred thousand Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry.

The remaining million Northern Frontier troops, all clad in heavy armor, also charged forward.

The sect cultivators who had enlisted in Qin Kingdom simultaneously charged forth.

”Kill!”

Myriad Islands Nationʼs Nation-Stabilizing Great General Han Qian and Qi Kingdomʼs Great General Gu Fei drew their long swords and pointed forward. The iron cavalry and troops simultaneously charged forth to kill!

On the battlefield, military formations and magical formations had already taken shape.

The collision of iron cavalry, the slaughter between military formations, the bombardment between magical formations, and the paired combat between cultivators.

Soldiers and cultivators fell one by one into pools of blood.

This great battle, Myriad Islands Nation had also invested heavily, deploying all their elite forces.

With the help of Myriad Islands Nationʼs army, Qi Kingdom and Qin Kingdom were evenly matched but as the great battle progressed further, the difference in strength between the two armies and their commanding generals became evident.

After battling for two days, Qin Kingdomʼs great army had already gained sufficient advantage, with the battle line continuously advancing forward.

Both Han Qian and Gu Fei felt something was wrong.

Even though their hearts were unwilling, they could only sound the gong to withdraw troops.

Xiao Mo personally led his great army in pursuit for over twenty li before stopping.

In the days that followed, Xiao Moʼs great army turned from defense to offense and began attacking cities.

The main battle line was still led by Xiao Mo commanding the troops. In addition, Xiao Mo divided into two more routes of soldiers, advancing into Qi Kingdom on three routes in total.

On Zhao Kingdomʼs side, the Qin Kingdom great army led by Li Jing and Zhao Guang also began exerting force, fiercely attacking Zhao Kingdom.

Fang Weiming and Liu Xing led their great army from the original Jin territory into Zhao Kingdomʼs borders, attacking Zhao together with Li Jing and Zhao Guang.

Because Flowing Fire Kingdom and Valley Kingdom dispatched large numbers of demon clan cultivators to support Zhao Kingdom, the battlefield within Zhao Kingdomʼs borders fell into a stalemate, with both sides winning and losing in battles large and small.

After Qi Kingdom continuously lost several great battles, their morale became lower and lower.

Myriad Islands Nation was already hesitating whether they should continue supporting Qi Kingdom.

Although the pie that Qi Kingdom had drawn was indeed good, saying they would share the Ten Thousand Laws Realm together but as things currently stood, even eating a single bite of this pie would not be easy.

And to inspire the court and stabilize the ministers, Xiao Mo frequently transmitted victory reports to the imperial capital.

Qin Siyao also closely monitored the battlefield and personally managed logistics.

Pills, military pay, grain and fodder could all only be delivered early, with no delays permitted. Violators would be executed.

Absolutely nothing could affect the front lines.

Also during this time when Xiao Mo was on campaign, Qin Siyao again went to persuade Zhou Ruoxi to move into the palace and live with her but Zhou Ruoxi still refused.

Qin Siyao knew that her mother-in-law did not like life in the deep palace, and she truly could not force her. However, no matter how busy Qin Siyao was, she would visit her mother-in-law every other day.

Her mother-in-lawʼs health was getting worse and worse. Even after using many methods and consulting many medical sect cultivators, there was no significant improvement but Qin Siyao still did not give up and had people search the realm for medical sect cultivators to come diagnose and treat her mother-in-law.

On this day, Qin Siyao invited the current leader of the medical sect, who was also currently the only medical sect cultivator at the late Immortal realm.

”Physician Li, how is my mother-in-lawʼs health?”

After Li Que walked out from Zhou Ruoxiʼs room, Qin Siyao asked anxiously.

”Alas.”

Li Que stroked his graying beard and shook his head.

”In response to Your Majesty, Madam Zhou is not ill.”

”Not ill?” Qin Siyao was slightly stunned.

”Thatʼs correct. Madam Zhou is not ill, but rather it is ʼfate.ʼ”

Li Que continued to explain.

”Both at the Foundation Building realm, in situations without illness or pain, some cultivators can live two hundred years, while some cultivators can only live one hundred fifty years.

If cultivators are like this, what more of mortals?

Some mortals can live one hundred twenty years and are called paragons of longevity, but some mortals, even without illness, can only live sixty or seventy years.

This is fate.

Also what the Daoists call predetermined destiny.

Madam Zhouʼs qi fortune is now nearly exhausted. Any spiritual medicine will be of no avail.

What this old man can do is prescribe some remedies to make Madam Zhou more comfortable, that is all.”

Hearing Li Queʼs words, Qin Siyao stood frozen in place, tightly gripping her sleeves, staring blankly toward the room.

After a long while, Qin Siyao nodded her head, ”I understand. Thank you, Physician Li.”

”Your Majesty is too kind.”

Li Que bowed respectfully, then turned and went to write the prescription.

After Li Que left, Qin Siyao took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions so she would not show a worried expression, then opened the door and walked into the room, ”Mother, how do you feel?”

”Mother is still well.” Zhou Ruoxi smiled, ”What did that Physician Li say?”

Qin Siyao lowered her beautiful head slightly, but quickly raised it again and smiled, ”That Physician Li said Motherʼs health has no major problems. Physician Li has prescribed a remedy for you. Gradually you will improve.”

Hearing Qin Siyaoʼs words, the corners of Madam Zhouʼs mouth curved up slightly. She simply nodded, ”Mm, I understand.”

Qin Siyao pursed her thin lips, then sat beside her mother-in-law, ”Mother, letʼs not speak of this. Right now, husband is continuously sending victory reports from the battlefield.

Especially in the great battle not long ago, husband comprehended the Dao on the battlefield and entered the Jade Simplicity realm, greatly lifting the morale of the great army.

Let me read this victory report to you.”

Speaking thus, Qin Siyao took out the letter sent from the front lines and read it word by word to her mother-in-law.

Zhou Ruoxi listened attentively, sometimes nodding, sometimes smiling.

After Qin Siyao finished reading, a trace of tenderness flashed through Zhou Ruoxiʼs eyes, ”As long as Moʼer is safe, thatʼs good.”

”Husband is perfectly well. Moreover, husband will very soon destroy Qi Kingdom and Zhao Kingdom and return to the capital to visit you.” Qin Siyao held Zhou Ruoxiʼs small hand and said gently.

”Is that so? Is Moʼer coming back soon?”

Zhou Ruoxi looked out the window and smiled.

”Thatʼs wonderful... Moʼer will return soon...”

”Yes.”

Qin Siyao followed her mother-in-lawʼs line of sight and looked into the distance.

”Husband will return soon...”
