Even now, even though Yelü Shouxuan had just narrowly escaped death at the hands of Wang Dazhao, he couldn't bring himself to hate Wang Dazhao.

Setting aside personal identities and positions, Yelu Shenxuan had a heroic and chivalrous side.

He held more respect than anger for Wang Da Zhai.

The two sides are at odds simply because of their different nationalities and identities, each holding onto their own beliefs.

To Yelü Shenxuan, the living Wang Da zhi was an enemy, a mortal danger who could kill his soldiers at any time, and he had to be killed.

But the deceased Wang Dazhao was a worthy opponent.

To put it simply, Wang Da zhi's loyalty is extremely rare on the grasslands that value strength above all else. This is precisely what Yelu Shenxuan, the future master of the grasslands, desperately needs.

As the biggest beneficiary, he desperately hoped that all the soldiers under his command would be as loyal and righteous as Wang Da zhi, rather than worshipping strength and following whoever was stronger.

"Prince!"

A trusted general approached Yelü Shenxuan, his voice hushed with excitement, "Wu Ban shan has now entered the range of our sharpshooters."

His meaning was clear.

Yelü Shenxuan's face was expressionless, and he ignored him.

That trusted general said urgently, “Prince, this is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity!”

Yelü Shenxuan suddenly turned his head, glared at him with icy eyes, and said, "If one day you die on the battlefield, do you hope to be left to rot in the wilderness or to have someone bury you"

The confidant was stunned and speechless.

Yelü Shenxuan then said, "Wu Bianshan is nothing to worry about, but Wang Da zhi is worthy of respect."

"Let no one lay a hand on him. Let him carry the body away."

"This is respect for the enemy, and also respect for ourselves."

Yelü Shenxuan's orders were never disobeyed by the Liao army.

Tens of thousands watched in silence as Wu Ban Shan walked forward, knelt down and picked up Wang Da Zhai's body, then walked back to the Qin army.

During this process, Yelv Shenxuan stared intently at Li Chen.

He was somewhat regretful at this time.

If Li Chen were to make a show of it now, and stepped forward to move Wang Da zhao's body instead of Wu Ban shan, he would definitely not hesitate to order Li Chen killed.

Wu Ban Shan is not a concern, but Li Chen... is worth Yelu Shen Xuan risking everything.

But there was no "if" and no "but."

When Wu Banshan returned with Wang Da Zhai's body, Li Chen gave Yelu Shen Xuan a long, meaningful look.

From the fact that Yelu Shenxuan did not order an attack, Li Chen felt a certain gratitude towards Yelu Shenxuan.

But that's all there is to it.

This doesn't prevent them from wanting to kill each other.

"Retreat."

Li Chen ordered the army to retreat.

Yelü Shenxuan stared hard at Li Chen's retreating figure, his eyes filled with struggle and hesitation.

He hesitated before a choice.

Is it about pursuing or giving up

If pursued, a large army would have to be sent out of the pass, marching straight into Gansu and Shaanxi provinces.

Thus, it was a national war against the mighty Qin.

And if they gave up this time, then Yueya Pass would have been won, and his unparalleled achievement would be in hand.

But... if this extraordinary achievement could be further enhanced by the addition of Li Chen, then it would truly be perfect.

Yelü Shenxuan had always been decisive in his actions, never hesitating so much when faced with a problem.

But faced with such a great temptation and huge risk, Yelü Shenxuan was somewhat hesitant.

If they were to enter the pass, the Liao army would face a frenzied counterattack from the Qin army. They had no preparations or battle plans, and rashly sending troops would be a very unwise move.

It wouldn't do for him, Yelu Shenxuan, to just give up like this.

This is like letting a tiger return to the mountain.

He knew Li Chen too well, and it was this very knowledge that filled him with fear.

Fearing that Li Chen would continue to develop, he would surely become a major threat to him and the entire Liao Kingdom.ould be in charge of educating the princes and princesses. However, things have been busy since the start of the year, so I haven't gotten around to it yet. Now that Zhao Wang has some free time, we c...
