What King Golden Spear was referring to as the Wu Kingdom's attack on the Chu Kingdom twenty years ago was the incident where the Fourth Prince forced the Chu Kingdom princess to marry him.

Twenty years ago, the Fourth Prince fell in love with the Chu Kingdom princess at first sight. He tried every possible means to get engaged to her. Initially, both the Chu Kingdom princess and the Chu Kingdom emperor refused.

This was because, on one hand, the Chu Kingdom princess did not have a good impression of the Fourth Prince, and on the other hand, the Chu Kingdom had a long-standing feud with the Wu Kingdom, so the Chu Kingdom emperor did not want to marry his daughter to the Wu Kingdom.

Being rejected, the Fourth Prince flew into a rage and decided to use force. He led 100,000 Wu Kingdom soldiers and ten Transformation Stage lords to attack the Chu Kingdom's territory, occupying ten counties. Countless Chu Kingdom citizens died in this war.

Seeing the Wu Kingdom's attacks become more and more fierce, even about to reach the Chu Kingdom's imperial capital, the Chu Kingdom emperor had no choice but to agree to marry the Chu Kingdom princess to the Fourth Prince.

This matter was a deep thorn in King Golden Spear's heart. Every time he thought about it, he felt incompetent. Twenty years ago, he watched helplessly as the ten Wu Kingdom lords attacked, causing devastation to the Chu Kingdom, yet he was powerless to do anything.

There was nothing he could do. He was just a Transformation Stage Fifth Level cultivator. What could he do for the Chu Kingdom?

Among the ten lords who attacked the Wu Kingdom twenty years ago, two were at the Transformation Stage Eighth Level. Any one of them could instantly kill King Golden Spear. There was even one at the Transformation Stage Tenth Level, at the same cultivation level as the Chu Kingdom emperor.

That's why King Golden Spear had just made up his mind to exchange his life for Lin Changqing.

From the Chu Kingdom princess's letter, it could be learned that Lin Changqing was an unprecedented genius, even surpassing Qin Wushang in the same realm.

A genius like Lin Changqing would definitely be able to break through to the Void Return Stage.

That's why he said that just now. A Transformation Stage Fifth Level cultivator like him could not save the Chu Kingdom. Only Lin Changqing could!

"Remember, if you don't want the Wu Kingdom's attack on the Chu Kingdom twenty years ago to happen again, if you don't want my Chu Kingdom citizens to die again, then today, we must rescue Lin Changqing. Even if I have to give my life for it, it will be worth it," King Golden Spear said solemnly again.

Hearing this, the two marshals and the young prince were silent. They suddenly didn't know what to say. They also knew about the incident twenty years ago, and they also understood why King Golden Spear wanted to exchange his life for Lin Changqing.

"Father, it is all because your son is unfilial, that I have to watch you go to your death today. If I were also a Transformation Stage cultivator, I would replace you, Father, and directly self-destruct to fight those six Wu Kingdom lords," the young prince said with deep shame. He felt that he was not worthy of being King Golden Spear's son, that he had to watch his old father go to his death today.

He didn't even have the qualifications to die in his father's place. He was only a Nascent Soul Stage Eighth Level cultivator. Even if he self-destructed, he would not be able to do anything to those six Wu Kingdom lords.

This made him feel deeply ashamed.

"Old Marshal, the defense line of Falling Dragon Mountain still needs you to guard it. Today, let me stop those six Wu Kingdom lords. I'll just self-destruct and fight them all," Marshal Chu Ba said. His relationship with King Golden Spear had always been very good. Hearing the old marshal take the initiative to go to his death, he couldn't bear it and wanted to replace him.

"Don't be ridiculous, Chu Ba. You are only at the Transformation Stage Third Level. Your self-destruction won't work. Don't die meaninglessly, and don't feel sad for me. Remember, my death is meaningful," King Golden Spear shook his head and said. He appreciated Chu Ba's kindness, but this matter really had to be done by him.

After all, Chu Ba's cultivation level was only at the Transformation Stage Third Level. Even if he self-destructed, he wouldn't be able to do much. But he was different. He was at the Transformation Stage Fifth Level. As long as he sacrificed his lifespan, he could increase it to the Transformation Stage Seventh Level, equivalent to a Transformation Stage late-stage great cultivator. This would have a greater effect.

Therefore, today, the person who had to die really had to be him.

"Alas," Marshal Chu Ba sighed deeply. Hearing King Golden Spear say this, he didn't say anything more. For a moment, the entire camp fell into a relatively sad atmosphere.

For the young prince, his father who gave birth to him and raised him was about to go to his death soon.

For the two marshals, Chu Tian and Chu Ba, this was their old superior, so the camp fell into silence and sadness.

"Don't be like this. This is a happy thing. My Chu Kingdom has a genius like Lin Changqing. Heaven is going to save my Chu Kingdom," King Golden Spear was very open-minded, without any of the sorrow of going to his death later. Instead, he laughed loudly, "Since twenty years ago, I haven't been able to sleep every day and every night. I worry every day. I worry that one day, Qin Wushang will lead the Wu Kingdom army to attack my Chu Kingdom. What should my Chu Kingdom do? Who can resist Qin Wushang? After all, he is a Void Return Stage cultivator. I worry about the citizens of the Chu Kingdom. If they are attacked by the Wu Kingdom one day, how many more people will die?"

"But now we have Lin Changqing. As long as he grows up, he can stop everything!" King Golden Spear looked solemnly at the three people in front of him. "So don't feel sad for me. My death is definitely meaningful. As long as Lin Changqing returns to the Chu Kingdom safely, my sacrifice will be worth it."

"Remember, if many years later, Lin Changqing grows to the Void Return Stage and defeats Qin Wushang of the Wu Kingdom, please be sure to tell me this news. At that time, the three of you, each bring a pot of my favorite apricot blossom wine, come to my Green Mountain grave, and tell me this good news."

King Golden Spear stroked his white beard, saying with endless open-mindedness. Hearing this, the two marshals, Chu Tian and Chu Ba, and the young prince all had slightly red eyes. They heard the determination to die from King Golden Spear's words just now, and they also heard the deep affection for the Chu Kingdom.

"Old Marshal, don't worry, if Lin Changqing defeats Qin Wushang in the future, I will definitely bring good apricot blossom wine and talk to you for three days and three nights at your grave," the two marshals, Chu Tian and Chu Ba, said with slightly red eyes.

The young prince also said with a crying voice: "Father, don't worry, the Chu Kingdom will definitely be fine in the future. When Lin Changqing defeats Qin Wushang, I will bring you apricot blossom wine to drink every day."

"Good, good, good!" King Golden Spear laughed loudly, saying three good words in a row. Then he pointed to the sand table behind him, "Remember, next we have to do serious business. Look at the position on this sand table. Usually, after the Starry Sky Ancient Road ends, all the cultivators inside will be teleported to this position on Falling Dragon Mountain."

King Golden Spear pointed to a position on the western corner of the sand table, which was in the direction of the Western Mountain Range of Falling Dragon Mountain: "This place is not too far from us. We four will lead some personal guards to this place in a while. In about a quarter of an hour, we will arrive here. It will be less than half an hour before Lin Changqing descends on Falling Dragon Mountain. Time is tight, let's set off now."

King Golden Spear said, and the other three nodded. Then the four of them walked out of the camp together, and brought about 2,000 personal guards, and began to advance towards the west of Falling Dragon Mountain.

However, an unexpected situation occurred on the way for these four.
