The Legendary Evernight Monarch
Suddenly, she recalled what Venerable Lin Bai had said when they first met, "Leave the mountain to gain experience and sweep across the land."
Are you serious?
It wasn't that she doubted the strength of the several high-ranking officials and the forces behind them.
It just feels like this was way too fast... We didn't even have enough foreplay before it was already over?
After calming himself down, Ouyang Ning said, "Your Excellency, our Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty is located at the border between the Radiant Divine Kingdom and the Evernight Empire."
"When the war starts, the Evernight Empire will definitely cross the Hidden Immortal Sea to come. We still need to be prepared."
Even though she had great faith in the Supreme One's strength, the thought of going to war with two great empires that had dominated Qinghan for a long time still made her heart pound.
If that senior makes a move, we'll be safe!
That figure, like a god or the master of heaven and earth, reappeared in her mind.
"Ningning is right. Even a tiger uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. No opponent should be underestimated."
Shi Hao nodded.
"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle. Ningning, how much do you know about this Evernight Empire? Tell us what you know."
Needless to say, the Radiant Divine Kingdom is the oldest and most powerful empire in Qinghan Immortal Prefecture, with the most written records, so it's easy to learn about it.
However, the Evernight Empire is quite mysterious. Its rise has been astonishingly rapid. Today, it has developed to the point where it can rival the Radiant Divine Kingdom. It is no exaggeration to call it a legend.
As a local and in a high position, Ningning would surely know a little bit about it.
"Your Excellency, I don't know much about the Evernight Empire, but I have heard some stories about them from my father. The Northern Frontier Region where the Evernight Empire was located was a chaotic land that was both disorderly and barren. The criminals, criminals, and servants of the Radiant Divine Kingdom and the Qinghan Kingdom were all exiled there."
"Later, the Evernight Monarch gathered them all together, unified the entire Northern Frontier Region, established the Evernight Empire, and then began to expand."
"The former Radiant Divine Kingdom, including many celestial dynasties, looked down on Evernight, considering them a group of rats living in the shadows, horse-breeding slaves, and a dark kingdom established by heinous criminals."
"But no one expected that the Evernight Empire, under the leadership of the Evernight Monarch, would rise so rapidly and dominate the region. My father praised him highly back then and regarded him as an idol, determined to develop Soaring Clouds as well. Who would have thought..."
At this point, Ouyang Ning almost teared up. Ever since her father failed in his tribulation and died, nightmares had followed one after another. She really wished this was all a dream...
"So, the Evernight Monarch really is a legendary figure."
You have the means, the ability, and the ambition; I admire you. It's a pity you ran into my Azure Cloud Sect.
"By the way, Your Excellency, the Radiant Divine Kingdom has sent eight Radiant Emissary to Soaring Clouds. They are collecting tribute from various countries along the way and will arrive soon."
Ouyang Ning was very puzzled by this. Soaring Clouds was just one of the many vassal states of Guangming on the surface, and there had been no interaction between them except for paying tribute on time.
The journey back and forth is incredibly long Radiant Emissary? Could it be for the sake of some high-ranking figures?
Upon hearing this, Lin Anye, the Dark Night Immortal Venerable, frowned. "Personal Disciple Shi, the Radiant Divine Kingdom is probably up to no good. They're probably here for us."
"That's right. They must have noticed the recent changes in Soaring Clouds. In addition, our identities are mysterious, so they are afraid that we are from the Evernight Empire. That's why they sent an envoy to investigate. They are really vigilant."
Mu Shuixian also spoke up to analyze the situation.
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao tapped his fingers on the table, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said indifferently, "Let's wait for him to arrive."
Meanwhile, the vast and boundless Northern Frontier Region is no longer the Northern Frontier Region as it used to be.
After thousands of years of development by the Evernight Empire, the Northern Frontier Region is no longer barren, but full of vitality. It is no longer chaotic, everything is in good order, the people live and work in peace and contentment, sects and churches stand in abundance, and the path of immortality is flourishing.
This place is not as dark and chaotic as outsiders say.
This fully illustrates that many people blindly believe what others say.
"This is outrageous! This damned Radiant Divine Kingdom! Our Evernight Empire hasn't even attacked them yet, and they've already declared war on us! No way! Can't our two countries sit down and have a proper discussion? We need the Kingdom of Light to withdraw its declaration of war, and let our Evernight issue the declaration first, and then we'll start fighting..."
"I agree! You're a fucking genius! Haha!"
"Ha, these dogs of light always look down on us, calling us the embodiment of darkness, the demons of the underworld. If that's so, then let the entire Radiant Divine Kingdom be plunged into eternal darkness! I will be the first to fight!"
When the news of the Radiant Divine Kingdom's declaration of war reached the Evernight Empire, the cultivators of the Evernight were all excited and their fighting spirit soared!
Countless cultivators spontaneously mobilized and requested to join the army, especially the local cultivators who had been exiled here for various reasons. They had finally achieved their current life and would not allow others to ruin it.
All the major powers also sent support troops to the capital to await orders. This is not because they love the Evernight Empire so much, but because they know a principle: when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact.
The Evernight Imperial Capital is located in the center of the Northern Frontier Region. Its towering city walls stretch for tens of millions of miles, making it incredibly magnificent! Furthermore, all the buildings inside and outside the city are decorated primarily in black, giving it a very imposing and oppressive feel.
"The Radiant Divine Kingdom wants to attack us, and the various forces and immortal dynasties of Qinghan also want to attack us, so let's fight! Your Majesty! The time has come for our Evernight Empire to unify the Qinghan Immortal Prefecture!"
"This old minister seconds the motion. Now that we have abundant resources and sufficient armor and weapons, it is time to wage a decisive battle against the Radiant Divine Kingdom!"
"We second that proposal!"
A grand conference that will determine the fate of the nation is being held in the Evernight Imperial Palace. The civil and military officials of Evernight have all expressed their willingness to fight against the Radiant Divine Kingdom's bold declaration of war.
After all the civil and military officials finished their reports, they respectfully looked at the figure on the main seat.
The figure was dressed in a black immortal robe and wore a magnificent crown. His aura was extremely majestic. Although his face could not be seen, one could feel his supreme authority.
Fanaticism shone in the eyes of all the ministers. This was their legendary emperor! The Evernight Emperor of the Evernight Empire, whose might shook the universe and whose name resounded throughout the heavens!
Evernight Emperor did not rush to express his opinion, but instead looked at the four figures on one side of the hall and asked, "Xing Kong, what do you think?"
These four are the pillars of the Evernight Empire, the Evernight Four Great War Gods, and the true right-hand men of the Evernight Emperor.
Some of the old ministers in the court knew about what happened back then. It was the Emperor who came with the Four Great War Gods to establish the Evernight Empire.
