The crowd outside the military camp was horrified to see the White Tiger's head, wondering what had happened.
"The White Tiger is dead. Why do you all, as people of the White Dragon Dynasty, risk your lives for the Nine Heavens Dynasty!"
Lu Fan hung the White Tiger's head in the camp, his expression remarkably calm.
Seeing this, everyone present became even more terrified. They could never have imagined that Lu Fan would be so audacious as to break into the military camp and kill the White Tiger.
Having done this, Lu Fan's figure soared into the air and he strode out of the military camp. No one present dared to stop him.
"This is bad! The White Tiger's heir has been attacked, and his head is hanging outside the military camp!"
Grand Tutor Wen was discussing countermeasures with the Five Ghosts when a voice reached them, making their hearts tremble.
"What happened?"
Grand Tutor Wen walked out of the military camp, his face darkening. The White Tiger controlled many experts of the Eighth Prince's Mansion, and his demise would surely cause an uproar.
"It was the consort of the White Dragon Dynasty!"
A general reported, his expression grave.
Upon arriving at the military camp and seeing the White Tiger's head, Grand Tutor Wen's face turned ashen, and he stood rooted to the spot for a long time.
"So they had planned this long ago!"
The Five Ghosts of the Nine Heavens frowned, "Truly the heart of a villain!"
"Since it has come to this, bury him with honor!"
Grand Tutor Wen said coldly, "And appease everyone!"
After Grand Tutor Wen left, dozens of generals within the military camp wore somber expressions.
"Azure Dragon Divine Guard, the heir has been killed, what shall we do!"
"Since it has come to this, everyone should go their separate ways!"
Azure Dragon gave a bitter smile, "It is my fault for failing to protect the master, otherwise it would not have come to this!"
"Azure Dragon Divine Guard, do not blame yourself. The consort is extremely powerful, not someone ordinary can resist!"
A general comforted him, "Most importantly, the Eighth Prince's Mansion's momentum is now gone. Are we truly going to work for the Nine Heavens Dynasty!"
"Everything is as you wish!"
Azure Dragon smiled lightly, "But I will probably leave this place of trouble!"
The generals were stunned, unsure of what to do. At this point, they did not know where to go.
"Big brother, are we really leaving?"
Vermilion Bird asked, a hint of sadness in her voice. How formidable were the Four Great Divine Guards of the Eighth Prince's Mansion in the past, and now they had fallen to such a state.
"Since it has come to this, why linger!"
Azure Dragon said directly, "The heir is dead, and the Prince is deceased!"
Vermilion Bird's body trembled, unable to utter a word.
"Please, Divine Guard, save the million-strong army!"
A general suddenly knelt down, his expression solemn. They knew very well that without a leader, the million-strong army of the Eighth Prince's Mansion would be in mortal danger.
Azure Dragon stood stunned, frowning. With no master, what was the use of this million-strong army?
"It is rumored that the White Xi's heir is still alive. As long as we find the Southern Sea Divine Nun, we can find the heir!"
A general spoke, "If the Divine Guard leads us to find the heir, there will be a glimmer of hope!"
"White Xi's heir?"
Azure Dragon's expression changed. If Bai Xi was truly alive, he naturally could not abandon him.
"Alright, I will lead you to find the heir!"
Azure Dragon nodded, "As for the war between the two dynasties, we will not participate!"
"We are willing to follow the Divine Guard and search for the heir together!"
The generals clasped their fists. They were the most loyal generals of the Eighth Prince's Mansion, and they would not give up easily if there was even a sliver of hope.
Azure Dragon nodded slightly and said, "Gather all troops and withdraw from the battlefield!"
Everyone present nodded. As Azure Dragon left the military camp, he found dozens of figures outside the camp, led by Grand Tutor Wen.
"Azure Dragon Divine Guard, what are you doing?"
"It's Grand Tutor Wen!"
Azure Dragon frowned slightly, and the many generals following him immediately became vigilant. They knew it would not be easy to leave.
"I know the heir is dead, and you are filled with grief, but don't you want revenge?"
Grand Tutor Wen said directly, "In seven days, we will strike directly at the heart of the enemy and capture the White Dragon Dynasty!"
"The heir is already gone, and the Eighth Prince's Mansion will not serve the Nine Heavens Dynasty!"
A general spoke, filled with righteous indignation. But suddenly, he was killed on the spot by an invisible sword qi. Su Dan Novel Network
The other generals were startled and became extremely vigilant. They never expected the Nine Heavens Dynasty to be so overbearing.
"Azure Dragon Divine Guard, think carefully whether to stay or go!"
Grand Tutor Wen sneered, "Don't let things become unpleasant!"
"Are you threatening me?"
Azure Dragon's eyes flashed with coldness, "Even if you can threaten us, can you threaten the million-strong army of the Eighth Prince's Mansion!"
Grand Tutor Wen's expression was indifferent, then he smiled, "As long as you help me seize the White Dragon Dynasty, you can become the ruler of the dynasty, and you will be the new master of the Eighth Prince's Mansion. What do you think?"
"This..."
The generals of the Eighth Prince's Mansion were slightly surprised and looked at Azure Dragon.
"I am merely a servant of the Eighth Prince's Mansion. If even I can become the master of the Eighth Prince's Mansion, wouldn't that be a laughing matter!"
Azure Dragon said coldly, "However, Grand Tutor Wen should think carefully. If you truly intend to fight, the million-strong army of the Eighth Prince's Mansion would rather die than surrender!"
"Are you threatening me!"
Grand Tutor Wen frowned. The reason he had not acted was not because he feared Azure Dragon, but because of the million-strong army of the Eighth Prince's Mansion.
If they were to defect, it would not be good for the Nine Heavens Dynasty.
"I dare not!"
Azure Dragon clasped his fists, "The people of the Eighth Prince's Mansion only wish for a way to live. As for the struggle between dynasties, we do not wish to participate!"
"Grand Tutor Wen, since the Eighth Prince's Mansion does not want the throne, why keep them? Why not let them leave!" the Five Ghosts of the Nine Heavens said.
They knew very well that if the matter escalated, it would surely cause unrest.
"Alright!"
Grand Tutor Wen said coldly, "Take the people of the Eighth Prince's Mansion and get lost!"
Azure Dragon said no more. He then gathered the generals and left the military camp, no longer associating with the Nine Heavens Dynasty.
In the shadows, Lu Fan and Steward Li watched silently, their faces filled with joy. The withdrawal of the Eighth Prince's Mansion was a great boon for the White Dragon Dynasty.
"You brat, you're truly amazing!"
Steward Li smiled lightly, "I thought tonight wouldn't be successful!"
"Steward Li, don't underestimate me!"
Lu Fan chuckled, "Since I've made a move, how can I fail!"
"It seems I was worrying too much!" Steward Li smiled faintly.
"Steward Li is truly unfathomable. You dealt with Grand Tutor Wen and the Five Ghosts of the Nine Heavens single-handedly just now, yet you came and went as you pleased!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "I wonder if Steward Li is a Earth Venerable or a Heaven Venerable?"
Steward Li smiled without revealing anything and did not answer directly.
Meanwhile, in the military camp, Grand Tutor Wen was filled with rage. The matter should have been settled, but he did not expect this to happen!
"Grand Tutor, there is no need to be like this!"
The Five Ghosts of the Nine Heavens said, "Even without the Eighth Prince's Mansion, we are determined to win the White Dragon Dynasty!"
"Easier said than done!"
Grand Tutor Wen shook his head, "The White Dragon Dynasty has many experts. If we were to fight to the death, the Nine Heavens Dynasty would surely be weakened!"
