Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 867 - 8 The End of the War
Chapter 867 -8 The End of the War
The Yin and Yang Scrolls of the Mortal World Lifespan Chart, one was taken into the imperial capital by a spy, serving as the starting point for teleportation to the imperial capital.
The other scroll, which is the departure point for the surprise attack team of cultivators, is located at the main camp on the Two Rivers Plain.
The reason for choosing to depart from the Two Rivers Plain came from Long Long’s strategic foresight:
“If I were the White Tiger Divine General, upon knowing of the imperial capital’s attack, I would have to come to its aid, but I would definitely attempt to seize Yuanjiang City before the rescue.”
“After achieving our goal in the battle for the imperial capital, we must return to the Two Rivers Plain immediately, otherwise, Yuanjiang City might not be spared.”
Therefore, while Qi Yingzhu was still commanding the cultivators in their fierce attack on Yuanjiang City, Long Long had already slipped into Yuanjiang City alone, taking the Yin Scroll of the Mortal World Lifespan Chart, utilizing the scanning ability of the Kunlun Mirror and illusion techniques.
Next, he opened a teleportation channel within the city, and a large number of fierce allied forces’ cultivators rushed out, thus the outcome of the battle had been determined.
After all, the reason why the Qilin and White Tiger allied forces dared to attack Yuanjiang City so boldly was by exploiting the isolated disadvantage of Yuanjiang City’s defenders and the main forces, attempting to divide and annihilate them.
But with the Mortal World Lifespan Chart, a magical treasure that could teleport forces at will, the so-called “divided” situation would crumble on its own, leaving the other side no advantage to speak of.
The realization of this caused the little tigress to nearly grind her teeth in regret.
However, the main reason for this situation was not because she or Lv Yan made any mistakes, but because their opponent played an unexpected trump card… Therefore, Qi Yingzhu had no choice but to contemplate anxiously.
Retreating is definitely necessary, but it cannot be done just by retreating outright; otherwise, with the enemy potentially pouncing on the opportunity, it’s uncertain how many cultivators would be able to get away.
If Master were here, what would he do?
No, Master never intended to continue attacking Yuanjiang City. It was I who insisted on doing so.
That is to say, Master may have anticipated that attacking Yuanjiang City was not a good move, and that we would be trapped in a difficult situation.
It was all because of my stubbornness that…
As Qi Yingzhu was despairing in thought, a clan elder beside her suddenly said:
“Your Highness, now we can only abandon the carriage to save the general.”
“No!” Qi Yingzhu immediately refused, “This is the mistake I made, I cannot have you sacrifice yourselves for my decision!”
“But Your Highness, as you know, this is the only way.”
The Horned Clan elder smiled gently, causing Qi Yingzhu’s eyes to instantly redden: This elder, arranged by the Qilin royal family and who had taken care of her since she was little, though not blood related, was even dearer to her than Lü Ya.
“Don’t…” Qi Yingzhu grabbed her hand, pleading, “Don’t do it over something like this…”
“Your Highness.” The Horned Clan elder held her hand and smiled, “Have you forgotten what the White Tiger Divine General taught you?”
“As a general, you must not exhibit a woman’s compassion.”
“Also, do not hold a grudge against Long Long because of this. Auntie knows what’s in your heart. You and he are simply serving different masters right now, and in the future, it’s not certain that you’ll be enemies…”
On Yuanjiang City’s side, Long Long sat calmly in the city’s military office, directing the allied forces to launch an attack on the opposing side.
The opposing side dispatched a team of Dong Yuan Realm cultivators in an almost suicidal interception, covering the main forces of the allied forces to retreat in batches through the array – after all, they did not possess a magical treasure that could instantly teleport a large number of cultivators.
With this, the victory was set.
Upon reflection, if it were not for providing such a rare treasure and taking command, this long-drawn-out war could have dragged on indefinitely.
Now that I have established such a remarkable feat, the debt of gratitude that the Azure Dragon Clan owes me and Long Hu has been repaid in full.
Next, I must wholeheartedly devise a plan for my strategic retreat!
It took a few more days to wrap things up, and the Qilin-White Tiger alliance forces had been completely driven out of South State; the plains of the two rivers were once again in the hands of the Feathered Clan.
The Feathered Clan courteously thanked the Dragon Clan for their assistance, and then diplomatically escorted them out of the territory… which left the Dragon Clan cultivators feeling quite enraged, as if they had been used and disposed of after crossing the river.
But Long Long knew the nature of the Feathered Clan well; their xenophobia and arrogance were practically etched into their bones, so he wasn’t particularly surprised.
What did surprise him, however, was that Feng Yan actually came to say goodbye.
“You’re really not going to sell that Mortal World Lifetimes Map?” she asked with a beaming smile.
“Not selling it,” Long Long firmly refused, saying, “Even if I wanted to, my clan would not agree to it.”
“Fair enough, after all, its strategic value has been proven in this war,” Feng Yan said with an indifferent chuckle. “Next up is the ceasefire agreement.”
“Can it really be successfully executed?” Long Long expressed strong doubt.
After having been occupied for so long, and being subjected to devastating destruction—places like Yuanjiang City are practically indistinguishable from ruins—given the prideful nature of the Feathered Clan, could they really swallow this bitter pill?
For now, they are only stopping the war and catching their breath because they perceive the Qilin-White Tiger alliance as too strong. If Central State doesn’t quickly defeat North State, they’ll definitely start fighting again.
Confronted with Long Long’s question, Feng Yan merely smiled without a word.
“By the way,” Feng Yan added, “what do you think of the other proposal?”
“What proposal?” Long Long asked, puzzled.
There’s no way he could sell the Mortal World Lifetimes Map, but he was open to considering other items… However, she hadn’t mentioned this before, had she?
“Of course, it’s to marry into our Vermilion Bird Clan,” Feng Yan said with a serious expression.
“Absolutely impossible,” Long Long replied sternly.
“I don’t mind if you bring Long Hu along,” Feng Yan hugged his shoulders and said jokingly, “And even if it’s just the two of us together, you can, you know, swing both ways.”
Long Long actually felt a surge of excitement for a moment, but then he scoffed and said:
“Buy one, get one free, is that it? Don’t even think about it! Keep this up and I’ll report you to the clan leader.”
“Hahaha!” Feng Yan burst into laughter and prepared to leave. “Rejecting such an offer of affection delivered to your door, you really are a useless little man.”
Long Long remained unmoved. After all, if he really did marry into the Vermilion Bird Clan, without the backing of the Azure Dragon Clan, wouldn’t he just become a plaything at their mercy?
Besides, he wasn’t from the Demon Race; he would have to say goodbye to the Eastern Emperor Realm sooner or later.
His aim was Beiming Fanyang! Marrying into the South State would be completely counterproductive to his goals.
After returning to Eastern State, Long Long, as the newly promoted elder of the Dragon Clan, quickly received a warm welcome from everyone in the clan.
Although there wasn’t a ceasefire with Central State yet, anyone with discerning eyes could see that the war wouldn’t last much longer. And as Elder Long Long, who had achieved great feats on the battlefield, he would inevitably become highly popular and influential within the clan sooner or later.

If not to build connections with him now, then when?
Unable to bear the harassment, Long Long could only use the excuse of cultivating in seclusion to hide away in Long Hu’s residence, closing the door to the outside world.
After spending a few days cozied up with the fox, the neglected Beiming Fanyang finally sent a message.
