When the imperial spy heard this, he was shocked.
He had never expected this to happen.
His five disciples were five Transcending Tribulation Realm experts. How could they all be wiped out?
The imperial spy looked at the Emperor and said indifferently, “I also didn’t expect the Eastern Imperial Kingdom to be so powerful. Your Majesty, please grieve for us first. We will think of a long-term plan.”
The old Emperor weakly replied, “It seems that this is the only way!”
...
Ye Chen had completely destroyed the Nanxuan Kingdom’s 500,000 man army, and now he had obtained a complete victory.
They had taken over the lost Changfeng Pass and Changlin Pass.
“Your Majesty, what should we do next?” At this moment, Yang Xuan looked at Ye Chen and asked.
Ye Chen said indifferently, “The Nanxuan Kingdom’s strength is equal to ours, and his army still needs to defend the other borders. How do you think he managed to gather the 500,000 man army?”
Yang Xuan looked at Ye Chen and said, “Your Majesty means that the Nanxuan Kingdom’s army was gathered with the entire kingdom’s strength?”
Ye Chen nodded and said, “That’s right. The Nanxuan Kingdom has used the entire kingdom’s strength to attack our Eastern Imperial Kingdom in the midst of the chaos, in order to wipe out our Eastern Imperial Kingdom in one fell swoop. However, how is it possible for the Nanxuan Kingdom to gather so many armies in such a short period of time?”
“It’s indeed impossible!” Yang Xuan said.
Ye Chen’s eyes flashed as he said, “Then there’s only one possibility!”
“Your Majesty, are you saying that the Nanxuan Kingdom has long planned this?” Yang Xuan was incomparably surprised.
If the Nanxuan Kingdom had long known that the Eastern Imperial Kingdom would erupt into chaos, then everything would no longer be so simple!
Ye Chen said in a low voice, “There’s another possibility!”
“What possibility?”
“What if the Eastern Imperial Kingdom was in turmoil and the Nanxuan Kingdom invaded our Eastern Imperial Kingdom? What if someone was the mastermind behind all of this?”
As soon as he said this, Yang Xuan immediately looked at Ye Chen with a surprised gaze.
Ye Chen continued, “Think about it. Why would the demi-humans appear in the army of the Nanxuan Kingdom? This proves everything. The demi-humans have not only infiltrated our Eastern Imperial Kingdom, they have also infiltrated the Nanxuan Kingdom!”
“They want our Eastern Imperial Kingdom to rebel, and they want Nanxuan Kingdom to attack us when our Eastern Imperial Kingdom is in chaos. Only the demi-human race can do all of this!
“Everything is under their control, and our Eastern Imperial Kingdom and Nanxuan Kingdom are like chess pieces that have been toyed with.”
“Then what should we do next?” Yang Xuan asked.
Ye Chen said calmly, “Nanxuan Kingdom has come from all over the country, and they won’t be able to gather their forces in a short period of time. And this is the time when Nanxuan Kingdom is at its weakest.”
“Your Majesty, what do you mean?” Yang Xuan asked in surprise.
Ye Chen said calmly, “That’s right. I’m prepared to attack Nanxuan Kingdom and take it down in one fell swoop!”
At this moment, Yang Xuan hurriedly said, “That’s right. Nanxuan Kingdom’s vitality has been greatly damaged, and it’s indeed the best time for us to take down Nanxuan Kingdom. It’s just that...”
“What do you think, Minister Yang?”
“Your Majesty, you’ve just seized power and your foundation is still unstable. Isn’t it a little too early to attack the Nanxuan Kingdom now?” Yang Xuan said.
In fact, Ye Chen had considered Yang Xuan’s opinion before, but he believed in his own subjects.
“Such a good opportunity won’t come again. As long as we take this opportunity to take down the Nanxuan Kingdom in one fell swoop, we can become the strongest country on this continent,” Ye Chen said indifferently.
Yang Xuan’s gaze turned to Ye Chen. He knew that although Ye Chen was young, his ambition was not simple.
His ambition was not to manage the Eastern Imperial Kingdom well.
It was to unify the entire continent!
“Yes! I, Yang Xuan, will listen to your orders!” Yang Xuan hurriedly bowed.
...
Nanxuan Kingdom’s imperial palace.
Ever since the 500,000-strong army was destroyed by Ye Chen, the old Emperor hadn’t been able to recover from his illness.
At this moment, a beautiful woman dressed in white barged into Weiyang Palace and shouted loudly, “Move aside, I want to see father!”
The woman was extremely beautiful. She had an oval face, fair skin, and a graceful figure. She was a beauty that was rarely seen in a hundred years.
At this moment, the imperial preceptor came out to stop the woman and said, “Princess, His Majesty is recuperating. Princess, please do not disturb His Majesty!”
“You monstrous imperial preceptor, it must be because you used demonic arts to bewitch father that father sent troops to attack the Eastern Imperial Kingdom. It must be because you used demonic arts to harm father that he fell seriously ill!” The princess berated loudly.
“Princess, you can eat your food carelessly, but you can’t speak carelessly!”
“All these years as the grand imperial preceptor of Nanxuan Kingdom, on that day when I wasn’t scheming for Nanxuan Kingdom, even if I didn’t contribute much, I still had to work hard, right? Why would the Princess frame me like this?” The imperial preceptor replied indifferently.
The princess looked at the imperial preceptor with her bright brows and large eyes. “You know very well whether father was harmed by you. I don’t care. Today, no matter what, I want to see father!”
As the princess spoke, she was about to barge into Weiyang Palace.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from Weiyang Palace.
“Yan ‘er, don’t cause trouble!”
At this moment, the old Emperor walked out of Weiyang Palace with his clothes draped over his shoulders.
He coughed twice, his face pale.
“Father!”
The Princess came to the front of the Emperor.
“Yan ‘er, why are you here?” The old Emperor asked.
“Father, I heard that you were sick, so she came to see you!” The Princess hurriedly said.
“Okay, I got it. Please go back first. I have something important to discuss with the imperial preceptor!” The old Emperor said.
“But...”
“There’s no buts. You should go back quickly. Do you want me to drive you away personally?” The old Emperor suddenly said sternly.
At this moment, he coughed twice again.
The Princess could only leave.
After the Princess left, the old Emperor pulled the imperial preceptor into Weiyang Palace.
“Imperial preceptor, do you see my condition?”
“Your Majesty, your body is still strong. You have to believe me!” The imperial preceptor hurriedly said.
“Imperial preceptor, you don’t have to lie to me. I know my own body. I know. I’m afraid that my body won’t be able to hold on for long.”
“Unfortunately, I’m useless. I’ve been the emperor for decades, and I’ve taken so many concubines, but I don’t even have a son. Sigh, I’m terrible. What should I do with the Nanxuan Kingdom?” The old Emperor said weakly.
At this moment, the imperial preceptor hurriedly comforted him, “Your Majesty, don’t worry too much. Your Majesty is blessed by the heavens. You will definitely live for another few decades.”
“Cough cough!”
At this moment, the old Emperor suddenly coughed twice and coughed out blood.
“Your Majesty!”
The imperial preceptor hurriedly supported the old Emperor.
“Imperial preceptor, I have a presumptuous request!” At this moment, the old Emperor looked at the imperial preceptor.
“Your Majesty, please speak!” The imperial preceptor hurriedly said.
“If I can’t hold on any longer, please assist Yan ‘er well and become the Emperor of Nanxuan Kingdom.” The old Emperor said weakly.
“Your Majesty, do you mean that you want Princess Xue Yan to inherit the throne? But our Nanxuan kingdom has never had an Empress before?” The imperial preceptor hurriedly said.
The old emperor said somewhat sorrowfully, “I pity myself for marrying such a concubine in my life, but I don’t even have a son. I only have Yan ‘er as a daughter. If this throne isn’t passed to her, who else can it be passed to!”
At this time, the imperial preceptor hurriedly knelt down and said, “Your Majesty, I will do my best to assist Princess Xue Yan!”
The old Emperor looked at the imperial preceptor and said with relief, “With you here, I am relieved!”
