　　When Eunuch Li heard that Cao Potian had returned, he said, “I didn’t expect Cao Potian to be so efficient in handling affairs. He captured Yan South Pass so quickly. He still has some ability. The king didn’t misjudge the person.”
　　Having said this, Eunuch Li comforted the King of Wei again and said, “Your Majesty, the important thing is the great matter.”
This is not the time to be sad. You must cheer up your spirit and strive to destroy the Great Zhou as soon as possible.
　　“After we capture the Great Zhou, we can take the heads of the Emperor of the Great Zhou and King Wu of the Great Zhou to comfort the spirits of the First Prince and the Fifth Prince in heaven.”
　　The Holy Monk of Ling Mountain also said, “That’s right. Currently, destroying the Great Zhou is the top priority.”
　　“As long as we destroy the Great Zhou and unify the three kingdoms, you will be the overlord of Zhongzhou.”
　　“Your body is still okay now. At that time, you can recruit more concubines and have more sons.”
　　The King of Wei thought to himself, yes, those who achieve great things don’t care about small details.
　　Isn’t it just a few sons who died? Just have more sons later?
　　As for Jin Bingyun…
　　Damn it, when I become the overlord of Zhongzhou, what kind of woman can’t I find？
　　Maybe at that time, Jin Bingyun will look at me with admiration when she sees that I have unified Zhongzhou and come back to find me.
　　“Jin Bingyun, before you ignored me. When you come back again, you will no longer be able to reach me.”
　　”See how I torture you then.”
　　”Hehe~”
　　When the King of Wei thought of this, his sad mood was swept away, and he was high-spirited, exuding the domineering of a king.
　　The Holy Monk of Lingshan glanced at the King of Wei in surprise and thought to himself, “Adjusted his emotions so quickly？”
　　”Could it be that he really listened to my words？”
　　”Damn it, heartless and unjust.”
　　The King of Wei asked the guard, “Where is Cao Potian？”
　　The guard replied, “He just came back and is coming this way to the camp.”
　　”Where are Du Chong and the others？” The King of Wei asked again.
　　The guard said, “Didn’t see Commander Du and the others. Only Cao Potian came back alone.”
　　”Huh？” The King of Wei frowned and said, “Didn’t I say that after taking Yannan Pass, let Du Chong come back and report at the first time. Why didn’t he listen to the order？”
　　Eunuch Li explained beside him, “Your Majesty, you know Du Chong’s character. He is good at fighting and also likes fighting. This old slave thinks that Du Chong must want to go all out and kill into the Great Zhou to expand the territory for Your Majesty.”
　　The King of Wei said in a deep voice, “Doing this is too reckless. The Great Zhou is not the Great Qian. They have a lot of troops. What if Du Chong goes deep alone and encounters a strong enemy？”
　　Eunuch Li smiled and said, “Your Majesty, don’t worry！”
Du Chong has been fighting on the battlefield for many years. He is not only calm and seasoned in handling affairs but also his ability to deploy troops and form battle arrays is second to none in our Great Wei army. He won’t act recklessly.”
　　“He just captured Yannan Pass, and his morale is currently sky-high. If he stops the attack, I’m afraid the soldiers won’t agree either.”
　　“Presumably it won’t be long before the king receives Du Chong’s good news.”
　　The King of Wei nodded and said, “Du Chong has never made a mistake. I’m still very relieved of his ability.”
　　Immediately afterwards, his eyes fell on the face of the guard.
　　“Didn’t you say that Cao Potian has returned？”
　　“Why hasn’t he come in yet？”
　　The guard was also puzzled. Previously outside, he saw Cao Potian standing on a paper boat, flying towards the direction of the camp, so he immediately came in to report.
　　Logically speaking, with Cao Potian’s cultivation base, he should have arrived long ago, but they have been talking inside the camp for a long time. Why hasn’t he come in yet？
　　“Your Majesty, I’ll go out and take a look.” After the guard finished speaking, he was just about to go out when the sound of kneeling came from outside the door.
　　Plop！
　　Immediately afterwards, a deep voice sounded： “Your subordinate Cao Potian requests an audience with the king！”
　　Inside the camp, a smile appeared on the face of the King of Wei.
　　This was the first time since Cao Potian submitted to him that he knelt down for him.
It’s rare that Cao Potian has lowered his stance so much. It seems that he has been awed by my heroic.
　　“I said it, arranging for him and Du Chong to attack Yannan Pass was definitely a wise choice.”
　　The King of Wei was in a great mood and said with a smile： “Holy Monk, let’s go out together to welcome our great hero？”
　　”OK！” The Holy Monk of Lingshan readily agreed.
　　Capturing Yannan Pass, it is getting closer and closer to him completing the plan.
　　Immediately, the King of Wei got up and, with the Holy Monk of Lingshan, Eunuch Li, as well as Jiang Hu and that guard, strode out of the camp.
　　As soon as he came out, the King of Wei saw Cao Potian kneeling outside, his head lying on the ground, looking completely submissive.
　　”Patriarch Cao, please get up quickly.”
　　The King of Wei stepped forward quickly, ready to help Cao Potian up, but unexpectedly, Cao Potian knelt on the ground motionless and said, “Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”
　　The King of Wei smiled and said, “Patriarch Cao, you are a great hero of our Great Wei. What crime do you have？ Get up quickly！”
　　At this time, the Holy Monk of Lingshan found that there was something wrong with Cao Potian. After taking a closer look, his heart trembled.
　　”Cao Potian, where is your cultivation base？” The Holy Monk of Lingshan asked in surprise.
　　Cao Potian then raised his head and said with a pale face, “My cultivation base is gone.”
　　Hearing this, the whole audience was shocked.
　　”What, your cultivation base is gone？” The face of the King of Wei changed. He was still counting on Cao Potian to help him capture cities and expand territories. Unexpectedly, after going to Yannan Pass, Cao Potian lost his cultivation base.
　　Damn it, your cultivation base is gone. Why are you still coming back？
　　Didn’t I keep you and your clansmen because you were a strong person？
　　Now that you have become a useless person, why keep you? Just a waste of food?
The King of Wei had already developed a murderous intention, but in front of so many people, he put on a very distressed appearance and said, “Head of the Cao family, I didn’t expect that in order to help this king capture Yannan Pass, you actually lost your cultivation. This price is too high.”
　　“To be honest, this king would rather not have Yannan Pass and hope that your cultivation is still there.”
　　“Well, after this king unifies Zhongzhou, he will confer you as a foreign surname king, and your position will be second only to the king.”
　　“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Cao Potian kowtowed to express his gratitude.
　　The King of Wei then asked, “What is the situation at Yannan Pass now？ Has Du Chong already led the army across Yannan Pass and killed into the territory of the Great Zhou？”
　　Cao Potian took a deep breath and said, “Reporting to Your Majesty, we… we failed and did not capture Yannan Pass.”
　　The King of Wei thought he had heard wrong and said loudly, “What did you say？ Say it again！”
The others also looked at Cao Potian, somewhat unbelievable.
　　Cao Potian said bitterly, “When I arrived at Yannan Pass, several commanders such as Du Chong had all been killed.”
　　“They died at the hands of Princess Ning’an and Kong Tianxia.”
　　“I originally wanted to avenge Du Chong and the others. Just when I was about to kill Princess Ning’an and Kong Tianxia, who knew that the Master suddenly appeared.”
　　“My cultivation was abolished by the Master. Not only that, the Master also disbanded the 300,000 troops on the spot.”
　　Cao Potian’s words were like a bolt from the blue.
　　Suddenly, the Wei King’s mind went blank, and he pointed at Cao Potian： “You, you—”
　　Pfft！
　　Before he could finish speaking, the Wei King was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground with a “clang”.
