Light Emissaries Arrive; Great War Looms, Shocking the World
"The Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty belongs to the Imperial Dynasty..."
Ha ha!
After Minister Fu finished speaking, the court erupted in laughter.
What's there to discuss about a small dynasty whose highest level of cultivation is nothing more than the Immortal Emperor realm, which is as insignificant as an ant?
"Minister Fu, have you taken a fancy to Azure Cloud Empress? Well, when are you getting married? I'll definitely come and ask for a drink at your wedding."
"You're all wrong. I suspect this Azure Cloud Empress is a distant cousin of Minister Fu, or perhaps his long-lost daughter."
The civil and military officials started to make fun of Minister Fu.
Even the Lord of Light God, sitting on the throne, was somewhat displeased. The court was discussing the important matter of attacking the Evernight Empire; there was no time to listen to your talk about this weak dynasty in some remote corner.
However, he, being extremely shrewd, did not show it. He merely glanced at Minister Fu, who was being attacked by everyone, and said that there must be a reason for everything, and that all conclusions should be drawn after hearing the whole story.
Upon seeing this, Minister Fu quickly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, we must not underestimate the Soaring Clouds Dynasty. The information I received from them is that the Azure Cloud Empress was able to overthrow the Three Great Clans because of the Six Mysterious Exalted Ones she recently appointed."
"The strength of those six Supreme Beings is unfathomable, and their status in the Soaring Clouds Dynasty is at its zenith, even above that of the Azure Cloud Empress."
"We don't know their identities yet. They seem to have appeared out of nowhere, but their goal is very clear. They definitely came with a purpose."
Minister Fu recounted in detail all the information he had gathered.
After he finished speaking, the civil and military officials in the court, who had initially taken it lightly, began to analyze the situation calmly.
With a major battle imminent, any mistakes or unforeseen events must be nipped in the bud.
"My Lord, if what Minister Fu said is true, then there is definitely something wrong with the Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty. I suspect that the Six Supreme Venerables are backed by the Evernight Empire."
"First, send strong individuals to control the countries adjacent to the Hidden Immortal Sea, and vigorously develop the Evernight Empire goes to war with my Radiant Divine Kingdom, we can take advantage of the situation to step into my Bright Territory. At that time, we can launch a large-scale invasion after coordinating with internal and external forces," a dog-headed strategist dressed in a Confucian robe analyzed "reasonably and logically" (nonsense).
Many of the civil and military officials present felt this was quite reasonable, as it resembled the actions of those rats in the gutter during the Evernight Night arc.
"In that case, let us send two Heaven-rank Light Emissary and six Earth-rank Light Emissary to Soaring Clouds."
"If these so-called Six Supreme Lords and the forces behind them have no hostility towards my Light, then let's win them over and let them confront the Evernight Empire to share the pressure on my Light."
"If there is any problem, eliminate it immediately, including the entire Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty."
After pondering for a moment, the Lord of Light God was in the main seat, announced the decree.
After listening to Fu Kongming's report and the strategist's analysis, he also felt that things were not so simple, so he took it very seriously. Otherwise, he would not have sent two Heaven-rank Light Emissary at the God Lord Realm and six Earth-rank Light Emissary the Immortal Venerable Realm.
After the civil and military officials received their orders, the head minister of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, this is just right. It is the time for all the vassal states to pay tribute this year. It is a good opportunity for a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites to accompany several Radiant Emissary personally collect the tribute from all the countries."
"I am worried that if the news of the formal declaration of war is released, some of the major celestial dynasties will unite and suspend their tribute, which would be detrimental to our war of light."
The Lord of Light God nodded upon hearing this, agreeing that it made sense.
However, tribute during peacetime is different from tribute during wartime; it must be increased by 100%! War is very costly. My Radiant Divine Kingdom helped you destroy the evil Evernight Empire and protect your safety, so we should at least receive some benefits in return.
"Alright, then let the Ministry of Rites accompany the Envoy of Radiant Emissary."
"Furthermore, I hereby declare to all vassal states that they should prepare for war. I will only give them three days to prepare. After three days, I will formally declare war on the Evernight Empire."
The following day, news that the Radiant Divine Kingdom was about to go to war with the Evernight Empire swept across the entire Qinghan Immortal Prefecture like a raging storm!
It was like a bombshell! It instantly caused a huge uproar!
This is because it is a war that concerns the fate of countless immortal dynasties, sects, Lineage, forces of all sizes, and billions of living beings. Once these two empires, which stand at the pinnacle of Qinghan Immortal Prefecture, go to war, all of the above will be affected by the war.
"Holy crap! The Radiant Divine Kingdom is actually going to war with the Evernight Empire! This is terrible! We weaklings are definitely going to be cannon fodder!"
"Yeah, bro! My house is right on the border between Light and Evernight, it'll be the first place to be razed to the ground. I need to hurry home, pack my things, and run! If you're a brother, let's run together!"
"What a great opportunity! Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny? Heroes emerge in times of chaos! Why should we run away? Why not rise up together and carve out our own destiny in this chaotic world!"
"Well, another one's gone mad..."
"He was probably shocked by the news of the great battle. How could a mere Great Luo Immortal like him dream of making a name for himself? Why doesn't he just go to heaven?"
Some cultivators and forces were terrified and packed their belongings overnight to flee to other immortal states for refuge.
There are also countless forces and Rogue Cultivator are well-prepared and actively preparing for battle. They have been rooted in Qinghan for a long time, and this is their home. They are unwilling to leave.
Moreover, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as you choose the right side in this great battle, your own and your Lineage's fate will change after victory. Whether you rise to prominence or perish and your clan is wiped out depends on this battle!
The Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty also received news of the great battle.
The Radiant Divine Kingdom instructed these nations bordering the Hidden Immortal Sea to strengthen their defenses, and resources to support them were already on their way. Their goal was to delay the Evernight Empire's advance once the great war began, in preparation for the decisive battle.
Empress Ouyang Ning immediately convened a court assembly. However, apart from her, there were only six people present at the large assembly: Shi Hao, Lin Bai, Hua Qingyu, Lin Feng, Mu Shuixian, and Lin Anye.
The other ministers were not qualified to participate. Well... to put it bluntly, their participation would be useless. In the end, they would still have to listen to Shi Hao and the other six Venerable Ones.
"A decisive battle? What a great opportunity! We can take advantage of this to seize the entire Qinghan Immortal Prefecture. When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits! My greatsword, Lin Bai's greatsword, and the broadswords of my soldiers are already itching for battle!"
Lin Bai excitedly slapped the table and said, "We haven't had much combat since the new army was formed. Well, here's our chance!"
Empress Ouyang Ning was startled by his words. Her face tightened, her beautiful eyes widened, and her lips parted slightly.
Take advantage of this opportunity to seize... the entire Qinghan Immortal Prefecture?
Is this exciting?
