chapter 24 The corpse is not rotten, facing the green mountains far away

"Upon learning of his offspring's demise, King Charles was furious." "He is currently mobilizing five hundred thousand of King Charles's Army, intending to attack the North King's territory and invade the North King Residence!" James nodded, reporting solemnly. Ellie, who was tidying up the dishes, became flustered. She had heard about the enmity between Liam and King Charles. But upon knowing the Red Dragon Martial Lord's strict order prohibiting internal conflicts among kings, she was somewhat relieved. However. King Charles was still making a move, and he was even mobilizing the King Charles Army on a large scale! If the two kings go to war, how many innocents will suffer. "Heh!" A cold smile appeared on Liam's lips, "King Charles is indeed decisive!" Over the years, the wars between the Red Dragon and the North have been ongoing, with King Charles either being slow to respond or simply making excuses to ignore them. And now, in just a few days, he could mobilize five hundred thousand of King Charles's Army, a great irony indeed. Such disregard for the lives of the Red Dragon's people, unworthy of being a king of the Red Dragon. "Moreover, in the past two days, the Red Dragon's secret guards discovered that many lords of the North King's territory had been approached by King Charles." "Now, all these lords have been dealt with," James continued. "He wants to set his sights on the Red Dragon Mausoleum?" A flash of cold light appeared in Liam's eyes. King Charles's indifference towards the Northern wars and his attempts to win over his vassals clearly showed his intention to encroach upon his territory. And the tomb of the first emperor of the Red Dragon was in his domain. "Hmph!" Leah gently combed her fingers through her hair, like green onions, and said, "Coveting the legacy of the first emperor of the Red Dragon and having Prince Marshall initiate the Red Dragon Martial Gathering, King Charles really has grand ambitions!" The actions of King Charles are not only a contempt for Liam but also a test of the bottom line of the Red Dragon Martial Lord. "Since that's the case." Liam said coldly, "Write a letter, inform King Charles." "If he wants to seek revenge on me, Liam, why such a grand display of force? I will wait for him alone at the Vinfort Mountain Range!" "My king..." James's expression slightly changed. Under the command of the North King, there's Leah, a Heaven Level Alchemist assisting him. In these six years, the pills refined by Leah helped a hundred thousand warriors reach the Earth Martial Realm, known as the Earth Camp. The leaders of the Heaven Camp are led by their four great Heavenly Generals, totaling a thousand warriors. The 300,000-strong North King Army is indeed a gathering of heroes, capable of deterring border threats and repelling external troubles, and certainly able to withstand King Charles' Army. But Liam does not wish for the two armies to go to war, bringing harm to the innocent, preferring to face the furious King Charles alone! "I have long said, the purpose of the North King Army is to protect the Red Dragon of the North." "Moreover, a King Charles is not worthy of my attention," Liam said indifferently. "Brother..." Lucy's face had already turned pale. "Little girl, don't worry." "Your brother is not simple, even if King Charles makes a move, he might not necessarily win," Leah said with a light laugh. The North in these six years. The rise of Liam has been exponentially accelerated. Now at the same Intermediate Transcendence level, why fear King Charles? At this very moment. The 152 counties in the northern part of the Red Dragon, like swept by a hurricane, the governors and city lords are all in a state of panic and unease. Since Prince Marshall's demise, they had a premonition. They never thought this day would come so soon! The 500,000-strong army of King Charles, like gathering dark clouds, is about to attack the North King's territory! During the turmoil in Greene Town. A Greenwings Eagle soared into the sky from the North King Residence, disappearing into the vast sky. As the King of the Skies, the Greenwings Eagle flies extremely fast, crossing several counties in just a few hours. "Vinfort Mountain Range!" Liam stood on the back of the Greenwings Eagle, looking towards the sprawling mountain range ahead. Unlike the Sungarde Sect. This mountain range's scenery is not considered beautiful, possessing a desolate feeling, with one stone mountain standing like a giant, gazing into the North. The Greenwings Eagle dived down with flapping wings. Liam leaped down, landing in front of the stone mountain. The stone mountain, about a hundred meters high, is rugged with rocks and springs flowing through the mountains, a moss-covered bronze gate embedded in the mountain. On the gate, 'The Red Dragon Mausoleum' is engraved. Five hundred years ago. The first emperor of the Red Dragon, who founded the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty, is buried in this mountain. Without the need for an army to guard it, aside from the Warlord who inherits the throne, no one dares to approach this place. "The Six Transformation Creation Technique is too terrifying, what secrets does the Calvin family hold?" "And where does the family artifact come from?" Liam exhaled a turbid breath and pushed open the heavy bronze gate. The inside of the stone mountain was hollowed out, forming a stone cave, with dozens of ever-burning lamps flickering. Liam entered, his gaze sweeping over, and his pupils instantly constricted. In the cave, there was a gray-robed old man with withered white hair, sitting cross-legged in front of a stone tablet. His eyes were closed, his blood dried up, having been dead for many years. "Is this, the first emperor of the Red Dragon?" Liam's face was filled with shock. Even after breaking free from the shackles, the first emperor of the Red Dragon couldn't escape the passage of time. After his passing, his body remained uncorrupted for centuries without being embalmed, showcasing the terrifying nature of a Faerie Realm Expert. "What is that..." Liam looked towards the stele in front of the corpse of the first emperor of the Red Dragon, inhaling sharply in shock. On the stele, the name CALVIN was strikingly inscribed. "Could it be that the corpse of the first emperor of the Red Dragon is paying tribute to me, the Calvin family?" A storm of shock surged in Liam's heart. His guess was not wrong; the Calvin family indeed had a connection with the first emperor of the Red Dragon. If even the first emperor of the Red Dragon did so, not to mention the Red Dragon Martial Lord. However. Why, in all these years, had the Red Dragon Martial Lord never shown favor to the Calvin family? Soon. Liam noticed that under the stele, there was also a jade casket. "If a descendant of the Calvin family comes here, it means that Lord Kylin of the Calvin family has appeared, and I can finally rest assured." "Please, Lord Kylin, consume the spirit elixir." A line of annotation on the jade casket greatly shook Liam's mind. The first emperor of the Red Dragon left this. The first emperor of the Red Dragon knew the ancestral teachings of the Calvin family! The words 'spirit elixir' especially caught Liam's eye with their unusual nature. Alchemists in the world, like Cultivators, were strictly categorized. Yellow, Mysterious, Earth, and Heavenly alchemists corresponded to the Four Realms of the Bitter Sea, and beyond them were the spirit elixir masters. As the name suggested. Spirit elixir masters, with their spiritually attuned skills, could concoct pills that evoke the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, far surpassing Heaven Elixir. The Red Dragon Martial Dynasty's Heaven Level Alchemist currently had only Leah, let alone a spirit elixir master. Liam picked up the jade casket and opened it, instantly greeted by a fragrant aroma that made all his pores relax. "What a powerful surge of spiritual energy!" Liam murmured to himself. After the first emperor of the Red Dragon, the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty had three generations of Warlords, yet no one took this spirit elixir, because it was prepared for Lord Kylin of the Calvin family. Without hesitation, Liam swallowed it. Boom! Upon entering his body, the spirit elixir exploded, unleashing a torrent of spiritual energy that raged like a wild horse. Liam grunted, circulating the Six Transformation Creation Technique. After a short while. The tumult inside him calmed slightly, and the shimmering spiritual energy descended towards his Primordial Sea, causing it to thunder and start expanding. "My cultivation is rapidly increasing!" Liam's eyes shone. With his talent, reaching Grand Transcendence would have taken another year and a half. This spirit elixir significantly shortened that time. "So, the current Red Dragon Martial Lord knows about the origin of the Calvin family!" "It seems I need to meet the Warlord!" As Liam continued to refine the spirit elixir, he didn't discover any other clues and immediately headed towards the bookshelves in the cave. There, martial foundations and techniques were displayed. These were the legacies left by the first emperor of the Red Dragon, which every Warlord would study after succeeding to the throne.
