Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1425

Chapter 1425 Tian Xian's First Battle

1425 Tian Xian's First Battle

While Tian Xian and Xiu Mei became engaged, their relationship wasn't officially announced or acknowledged yet. The reasoning was simple.

They decided to wait until Tian Xian had gained sufficient fame and reputation before making their engagement public. If the Xiu Family were to announce the engagement of their prized jewel to a common soldier during a time of war with the Seven Heavenly Order, they risked ridicule and mockery.

While Tian Xian had gained fame as a prodigy within the Xiu Family, this knowledge was kept internal, and few outside their circle were aware of his talents.

"Tian Xian, our situation with the Seven Heavenly Order has finally reached the point of war. I will send you into battle so you can acquire experience and make a name for yourself. Do you object?" Emperor Xiu asked him.

"I object! Why do you have to send him when there are countless other soldiers?! It's too dangerous!" Xiu Mei refused to send her beloved to war, fearing the possibility of him getting hurt or, even worse, losing his life.

However, Tian Xian placed his hand on her shoulder and said, "Please, Xiu Mei, don't be like this. This is what I've been trained for. If I can't fulfill the purpose I've dedicated many years to, then what meaning does my existence hold?"

"Well said!" The General exclaimed with an excited smile on his face.

Tian Xian turned to look at Emperor Xiu and continued with a resolute face, "I accept, Your Majesty– No… please, let me go to war with the Seven Heavenly Order. I have a debt to repay them, after all."

Emperor Xiu nodded with a calm smile, "Very well. Then you will be part of our first battle with them. Immediately prepare for departure."

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

Once they returned to their room, Xiu Mei asked, "Is there really no way I can convince you to stay here with me?"

Tian Xian, noticing that she was crying, walked over and wiped her tears.

"Xiu Mei, the Seven Heavenly Order threatens the Xiu Family and your safety. As your soldier and future husband, it's only natural for me to fight them to defend our family."

If the Emperor had heard such words, he would definitely be jumping in joy over how successful their plan was.

"I couldn't raise my hand at those bullies back then because they were allies, but now that they are our enemy, I won't hesitate to get rid of them like you wanted me to."

"Tian Xian…" Xiu Mei suddenly propelled herself forward and gave him a passionate kiss on the lips.

"I want to give you something before you leave for the war…" She started removing her clothes, her face flushed with redness.

Once she was fully naked, she grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the bed.

Tian Xian's eyes widened at her actions. However, he didn't reject it and followed her to the bed, where they passionately embraced each other and connected for the first time.

They made love to each other for several days straight until it was time for Tian Xian to leave.

On the battlefield several thousand miles away from the Xiu Family, Tian Xian stood in a formation as they faced the Seven Heavenly Order's army which was three times larger in size.

"Heavens! Those Seven Heavenly Order bastards have violated the agreed-upon number of soldiers to be sent into battle on our very first engagement! This bodes ill for us!" The soldiers were both shocked and incensed by the Seven Heavenly Order's blatant disregard for honor.

In order to prevent a full-fledged war between two massive powers, they often resort to small-scale skirmishes with a predetermined number of soldiers and cultivators until one side either surrenders or depletes its forces.

For their first battle, they agreed to send only a thousand soldiers with a single Spirit Sovereign, three Spirit Kings, twenty Spirit Lords, two hundred Spirit Grandmasters, and the rest Spirit Masters. However, the Seven Heavenly Order blatantly disregarded their agreement and sent three times the amount with three Spirit Sovereigns, nine Spirit Kings, sixty Spirit Lords, six hundred Spirit Grandmasters, and over two thousand Spirit Masters.

"These sons of bitches! We need to get reinforcements!"

"They won't make it! We'll all be dead before reinforcements arrive!"
