Eastern Divine Continent, Great Xia Dynasty, after finding out the news of the disappearance of Northern Mongol Emperor, Xia Chi mobilized his troops northward, with 300,000 troops Yan Returning City waiting for an order to start the war between the two dynasties again.
Regarding Xia Emperor's Northern Expedition, the six contemporary Martial Marquis's voices of support and opposition were exactly equal. Kong Yu, Marquis Anling, and Changsun Yunxuan wrote several times to advise Xia Emperor not to raise troops easily.
On the contrary, the other three Martial Marquis fully supported the Northern Expedition and volunteered.
The attitudes of the six Martial Marquis represent the voices of people from two different eras. Kong Yu, Marquis Anling, and Changsun Yunxuan are most influenced by Marquis of Knowing Fate. After experiencing the continuous wars and catastrophes of the gods in the past, they know that peace is not easy and are unwilling to start war easily.
The other three newly-named Martial Marquis were at the peak of their lives, eager to expand the territory for Great Xia and create an unparalleled foundation.
Among the Heavenly Edict Hall, Xia Chi looked at the memorials of the six Martial Marquis, with a trace of embarrassment flashing across his handsome face.
Kong Yu is Martial Marquis who was taught by his master. Changsun Yunxuan and Marquis Anling are also very influential. It is impossible for him not to consider the suggestions of these three Martial Marquis.
Peace and territorial expansion are difficult choices.
"Your Majesty, there is news from southern Xinjiang that Princess Xi has set off and may be back soon," a Dark Dragon Guard appeared and reported.
Xia Chi Hearing this, he stood up suddenly as if his butt was sitting on a nail, and his eyelids jumped.
Aunt Xi wants to come back?
The shadow of childhood made Xia Chi sweatdrop on his back. During the years in the Hou Mansion, Aunt Xi beat him the most times.
"Eldest Princess is here"
At this moment, another announcement came from outside. His Highness Dark Dragon Guard immediately avoided and left.
Not long after, Xia Xinyu came. The most beautiful princess in the past, Great Xia, more than ten years later, her life has become more and more charming and stunning in the world.
Xia Chi My head hurts terribly, here comes another one I can't afford to offend.
However, despite the headache, Xia Chi still stumbled down from the throne and stepped forward to greet him personally.
"Aunt Ninth, why are you here?" Xia Chi said with what he thought was the brightest smile on his face.
"Come and see you"
Xia Xinyu looked at the grown-up little guy in front of him and whispered, "Why, are you still embarrassed about the Northern Expedition?"
"Yeah"
Xia Chi touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "Isn't Aunt Ninth here to persuade me to withdraw from the army?"
Xia Xinyu shook his head and said, "I will not get involved in political affairs. When you grow up, you have to bear the consequences of any decision you make. You Aunt Xi are coming back. If you insist on sending troops, you must get through her first."
Xia Chi nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Aunt Ninth, do you think I was wrong or right in sending troops this time?"
Xia Xinyu was silent for a long time, and then said softly, "He said that there is no absolute right or wrong in the world, but as far as war itself is concerned, it must be wrong."
Xia Chi heard this, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. He knew that although his master was good at fighting, he actually hated war more than anyone else. However, this opportunity for the Northern Expedition was once in a lifetime, and if he missed it, he would never encounter it again.
He is the emperor of Great Xia, and he doesn't want to spend his life doing nothing.
"You decide for yourself whether to send troops or not. I just want to tell you that as an emperor, you must not only be good at planning, but also good at making decisions. It is impossible to have the best of both worlds. If you keep delaying it, there will never be any results. Well, it is already late, I will go back first."
After finishing his words, Xia Xinyu didn't say anything else. A gentle smile appeared on his beautiful face, and he immediately turned around and walked towards the Heavenly Edict Hall.
In the main hall, Xia Chi looked at the former's leaving figure and couldn't help but sigh deeply. It seemed that he had underestimated his aunt in the past.
Perhaps the master's light was too dazzling back then, covering up the light of too many people. Otherwise, Great Xia Ninth Princess, it is not just his appearance that amazes the world.
Tianfu Star, the edict of the Holy Land, within a time limit of six months, all religions in the world will send all the Blazing Sun Star Soul Iron they must to the Holy Land. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!
Xingzun wrote with his own hand, and the heavenly announcement was made. The two most noble people of Tianfu Star spoke out together. All religions were shocked. Even the emperor of the Heavenly Prime Minister Dynasty was caught off guard by the sudden news. He summoned several royal family elders overnight to discuss the matter.
No one in the world dares to disobey the edict of the Holy Land, but Blazing Sun Star Soul Iron is precious beyond imagination, and its owners are all top sects. If a small sect has a piece the size of a fist, it may bring about the disaster of annihilation.
"The Holy Land is so deceptive. How could the Heavenly Prime Minister agree to such an exorbitant order from the Star Lord? Even if I, Heavenly Prime Minister Dynasty, don't have much Star Soul Iron, once I hand it over, how can I suppress my dynasty's luck?" In the Tianfu Palace, a royal clan elder said angrily.
"Heavenly Prime Minister, oh, when will his heart be in my Heavenly Prime Minister Dynasty?" Another royal clan leader coldly snorted.
"I think there may be some unspeakable secrets in the sky. Before we know the truth of the matter, we'd better not make random guesses," the third royal family patriarch said softly.
"What the old man said is true. Although the sky is Tianfu Star's, it is still my Heavenly Prime Minister Dynasty after all. I would not have made this decision unless I had to," the Tianxiang Emperor said slowly.
"What my emperor means is that the Prime Minister has endured irresistible pressure from Xing Zun?" asked the elder of the royal family who was the first to speak.
"It's just a guess. We won't know the specific reason until Tian Xiang comes back," Emperor Tian Xiang replied.
Pill Pagoda, on the 32nd floor, three powerful figures stood quietly, one of them was the old man in Xuanyi who presented the sword in front of the tower.
Among the three people, except for the old man in Xuanyi, the other two are phantoms. Obviously, they are not here.
"Zhenyang, why are you calling us urgently?" One of the phantoms said.
"The Holy Land Edict..." The old man in Xuanyi told the story of Blazing Sun Star Soul Iron in detail.
"Trouble"
Eastern Patrol Venerable said with a strange color flashing in his eyes.
"What puzzles me is that the Heavenly Minister would actually agree to this matter. It's really strange," the old man in Xuanyi said in a serious tone.
"Hand over 30% of the Star Soul Iron first, and test the attitude of the Holy Land and the Star Lord." The shadow that had been silent until now spoke calmly.
"Yeah, I understand."
The old man in Xuanyi nodded and agreed.
After the matter was discussed, the two shadows gradually faded away and prepared to leave.
"By the way, Mao, where did the young man you asked me to give you the sword from earlier come from?" Eastern Patrol Venerable asked, remembering the previous incident.
"The origin of the man who killed the greedy wolf is still unclear. However, this boy's strength is extraordinary, especially his swordsmanship. At this age, it can be said to be shocking. If he can be used by me, Pill Pagoda, he will definitely be the sharpest murderous sword," the old man in Xuanyi replied.
"It seems that your expectations for this son are quite high," Eastern Patrol Venerable said.
The old man in Xuanyi nodded and said, "With Soul-Transference Pill, Sword Venerable in the Holy Land will wake up soon. You should know how scary this person is. What Pill Pagoda lacks is such a strong man. I saw the possibility from that young man. Perhaps, in another sixty years, this boy can grow into a peerless strong man who can compete with Sword Venerable."
"One Jiazi"
Hearing this, Eastern Patrol Venerable sighed softly and said, "It's too long. You can decide this matter yourself. However, Seven Kill Palace, that peerless talent, has grown up. If you can, try not to offend him."
"I understand, I have a sense of discretion in this matter," the old man in Xuanyi nodded.
"That's good"
Eastern Patrol Venerable responded, saying no more, and the figure gradually faded and disappeared.
Deep in Jiaxing Mountain, in front of the temple, Ning Chen waited for several more days, but this time Ghost Maiden never came back after leaving.
After waiting to no avail, Ning Chen had no choice but to leave first. Before leaving, he planted Yellow Springs Restriction in front of the temple and left a trace of his soul. If Ghost Maiden returns one day and breaks the ban, he will be able to detect it.
In front of Jiaxing Mountain, Ning Chen walked out. Suddenly, the clouds in the sky changed, and a pressure comparable to that of Human Sovereign descended. The terrifying power shook the sky and the earth.
"Phoenix, you have no way to escape."
In the colorful glow, Seven Kill Palace Master descended from the sky, with dancing black hair and holding a divine halberd. He looked like a divine king coming to this world with supreme grace.
The seven-killer in the world, Tianfu Star, the peerless genius who looks down upon the entire younger generation, Yan Yuntian, finally appears.
Ning Chen's expression condensed, and after a moment, he wanted to figure out who had betrayed his whereabouts.
Tianfu Saintess!
"Are you surprised? Tianfu Saintess exchanged your whereabouts for my Heavenly Star Pearl, but it was worth it to find you," Yan Yuntian said coldly.
"Everyone has value. It seems that my value is pretty good."
Ning Chen waved his hand, a red sword edge appeared, and said calmly.
"Your worth is to be buried with Tanlang!"
As soon as the words fell, Yan Yuntian's figure moved instantly, and Cloud-Forgetting Divine Halberd struck down with the power of breaking the sky. Pieces of void cracked open, with shocking power, which made people feel as scared as the sky was falling.
Ning Chen swung his sword to block the attack, but heard a bang and his legs sank several inches into the ground. A crack appeared on the sword and spread to both ends.
The magic weapon, Mortal Sword, has a clear gap in strength and weakness. Just one move can tilt the battle situation.
"Sword Style, Breaking the Sky"
The sword pointed at Condensing Essence, and the battle started with a sword. In the aftermath, Ning Chen took advantage of the situation and jumped into the air. The situation on the sword changed, and endless sword streams gathered from all directions. The Sword of Nirvana reappeared in the world of mortals.
The extraordinary sword, the heaven and the earth echoed together, making Seven Kill Palace Master's expression become solemn, his true energy was fully charged, and he was ready to take the attack.
Unexpectedly, at the moment when the sword style was about to be released, an almost inaudible crisp sound was heard, and the broken Mortal Sword could no longer withstand the peak sword power, and suddenly collapsed.
Due to the sudden change, the flow of Heavenly Sword spread out in all directions, bearing the brunt of the impact. Ning Chen was struck back by Sword Intent and was directly knocked away.
"Your uncle"
Ning Chen landed on the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Even though he was an extraordinary person, he couldn't help but curse at this moment.
"Even the sky will kill you, just accept death."
Yan Yuntian Stomped his foot, raised his halberd into the sky, gathered thunder and fire from all directions, and called out all the laws of heaven and earth. He chopped down with one halberd, killing gods and destroying Buddhas.
At the critical moment, Ning Chen waved his hand to call out Green Cauldron, and without any hesitation, he directly hit it.
boom!
There was a loud sound of the sky falling and the ground falling, Jiaxing Mountain was robbed, the hundreds of miles of earth collapsed instantly, the mountain cracked, magma erupted from the bottom of the mountain, covering the sky and the sun, the end of the world disaster, the yin and yang chaos.
