Although the majority of lethal weapons targeting cultivators had been destroyed, their foundation remained intact.
That's why Ji Changsheng never underestimated Ying Hongye.
In a one-on-one fight, Ying Hongye was no match for Cao Ziming.
However, Ji Changsheng felt much more comfortable leaving his back to Ying Hongye than to Cao Ziming.
Ying Hongye also did not decline.
"Rest assured, it's uncertain outside Sheng Country, but within it, if anything happens to you, Changsheng, I guarantee the Sheng Country Royal Family will be your burial companions."
Ji Changsheng smiled: "Very well, Your Majesty, now lead the way!"
"Should we head to the Imperial Palace now?"
"The essence of warfare is speed."
When it came to private matters, Ji Changsheng had always been extremely efficient.

At the Recuperate Hall within the Sheng Country Imperial Palace,
Ji Changsheng saw the white-faced, barely breathing Emperor of Sheng Country lying on the sickbed.
