"The rest doesn't matter."

"The only thing that matters is this final battle."

Li Chen pointed to the distant front line, where shouts of killing and explosions could still be faintly heard. Even just by listening to the sounds, one could imagine the ferocity of the battle.

"There, hundreds of thousands of troops were engaged in a bloody battle. The outcome of this clash would determine the fate of the entire Qin Empire. If Qin lost this decisive battle, the best-case scenario for me would be death. The Qin court would collapse, engulfed in civil war, retreating south of the Yellow River, and possibly even further south to the Yangtze River. Entire provinces like Gansu and Shaanxi, including the capital region, would fall into enemy hands. After the conquest, the Liao state would have actual control over these lands."

Turning to look at Jianxin, Li Chen said in a gentle voice, “Back then, the people of Qin were living in misery. They were treated as beasts by the Liao and kept captive. When their nest is destroyed, there are no perfect eggs left. If the foundation of Great Qin is destroyed, regardless of good or bad, the White Lotus Sect and those martial arts sects will all be reduced to dust under the iron hooves of the Liao army.”

"Therefore, in this regard, the White Lotus Sect and the Qin court have the same interests."

"If this victory were achieved, many things could still be negotiated."

"Do you understand what I mean"

Jian Xin stood still, gazing into Li Chen's eyes for a long time, and slowly nodded, saying: "Understood."

"Understood."

Li Chen chuckled softly, turned around, and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you to protect my life well, at least until this final battle is over. Before then, we are in a relationship where one prospers and the other prospers, and one suffers and the other suffers."

Jian Xin didn't say anything more, he just turned around and took a step. The moment he stepped out, his figure vanished.

But Li Chen knew that Jian Xin was nearby.

After Jian Xin left, Li Chen's smile on his face gradually faded, his eyes becoming increasingly cold.

He knew everything was done simply.

To be honest, Li Chen now wishes he could skin Jian Xin alive.

But he couldn't do that, he couldn't even have a falling out with Jianxin, he had to keep him on his side.

Exposing him was meant to warn Jane, he thought his airtight plan was riddled with holes, so he made him confess.

He doesn't dare to turn against them because if Jian Xin were truly pushed too far, he wouldn't even need the Liao army to come and kill him. This Earth Immortal could kill him a thousand or even a million times over, and he has no effective way to stop him.

A magnanimous person will not be bothered by small grievances.

Li Chen must endure now.

I can't help but hold back.

But he will eventually settle this score with Jane.

But in the shadows, Jian Xin still stared intently at Li Chen's retreating figure.

After a short period of reflection, he understood why Li Chen had exposed him without turning against him.

A warning echoed in his mind, along with the imminent battle. Li Chen couldn't be sure what would happen if he was driven to desperation.

With a slight narrowing of her eyes, Jian Xin suddenly felt an extremely tempting urge.

If Li Chen were killed now, would everything be solved

The thought only lasted a moment before being immediately dismissed by Jianxin.

He knew full well that, in the grand scheme of things, killing Li Chen would cause the entire situation to collapse. But this kind of collapse was definitely not what he or the White Lotus Sect wanted to see.

Li Chen is right, once this decisive battle is lost, the territory I've painstakingly worked for will become a paradise for the Liao people.

This decisive battle, Qin must win.
