Chapter 804: The Situation Has Changed (1)
Translator: 549690339
The news seemed to have grown wings. It started from the imperial palace of Great Yue State and spread to the surroundings. In the blink of an eye, it had spread all over the world.
Now, everyone in this world knew that the Emperor of Great Yue State was dead, and the murderer was Xu Bai.
Regardless of whether it was the various forces or the experts of each profession, they all had different thoughts.
Great Chu Country, Capital, Prime Minister’s Residence.
Ever since the news had reached the capital, Prime Minister Wen had requested a long leave from the Emperor. He had been staying in his room, not leaving his house.
Other than him, there were many other Transcendent-level ninth-grade experts who had also taken long leave.
In the world, there were only nine Saints. Nine was the number, and it was impossible to exceed this number.
But now, the Emperor of Great Yue State was dead. In other words, there was only one person left to enter the ranks of the Saints.
In the entire world, everyone who had stepped into the ranks of a ninth-grade Transcendent had fallen into long-term seclusion at this moment.
Time was extremely tight for them.
They wanted to seize this last moment to fight for this position. Whoever stepped into the ranks of the Saint Plane first would be the new Saint Plane cultivator.
Although he had only just stepped into the First Grade Saint Realm, it was enough.
As long as one stood firmly in this position, no one would step foot in it.
This was a fight, a fight that raced against time. The Emperor’s attitude towards this was also up to them.
After all, it would be beneficial for him to have another Saint Realm expert in his territory.
The Transcendent experts in the world all had the same thought, but the Saint experts had different thoughts.
The Chief and Deputy Chief of the supreme barbarian tribe felt that the pressure on them had increased again.
They had now become small boats in the sea. As long as the waves rose, there was a possibility that they would capsize.
However, this was not the most important thing. The most important and most uncomfortable thing was another person.
The War God Bai Zhong.
In the camp, after hearing the news of the soldiers, Bai Zhong was discussing with his generals what to do next.
But now, he was not in the mood.
Bai Zhong’s right hand gripped the saber at his waist so tightly that the veins on the back of his hand bulged.
The surrounding generals were silent. No one made a sound. To be precise, no one dared to speak.
They had also heard the news that the Emperor was dead.
To the various generals, it was not good for them to reveal their thoughts at this moment, so they all kept their mouths shut.
To be able to get to this place, it was far from enough to rely on martial strength. One had to be brave and resourceful to be able to sit in their current position.
The generals knew that at this moment, everything depended on Bai Zhong.
If Bai Zhong was not willing to go back and fight for the throne, they were not willing either.
If Bai Zhong wanted to go back and fight for the throne, they were willing to do their best.
In short, they were just yes-men. Whatever Bai Zhong wanted to do, they would cooperate.
Before the Emperor died, he naturally listened to the Emperor. But after the Emperor died, they could only listen to Bai Zhong.
A few generals knew that if they wanted to go back and fight for the throne, there was one person they could not avoid, and that was Prime Minister Liu Yue.
They seemed to have received the news now, but Prime Minister Liu Yue had the upper hand. They did not know what the situation was like.
“Hu…”
In the quiet tent, there was only the sound of chaotic breathing.
Time gradually passed, and in the blink of an eye, the time it takes for an incense stick to burn had passed. Bai Zhong maintained the posture of holding his saber, remaining silent.
Slowly, he moved his hand away from the handle and placed it on the table.
This action naturally attracted everyone present.
The generals all looked over, waiting for Bai Zhong’s orders.
Bai Zhong placed his hand on the table and looked around. His tone was slow and solemn.
“There should be two Saint Realm masters in the palace. His Majesty is one and Liu Yue is the other.”
“This person’s actions are disloyal and unjust. Although Your Majesty is dead, we will raise the banner of righteousness and reclaim this broken mountain and river.”
Everyone nodded.
At this point, they already understood the true meaning behind it.
This meant that he wanted to go back and fight for it.
Anything that was done had to be done in accordance with the name. At this time, the name that Bai Zhong came up with was indeed reasonable.
As generals, what else could they do now? They could only follow this commander-in-chief.
Bai Zhong saw that there were no objections around him. He slowly pulled out the long saber at his waist and pointed the blade outside the tent.
“Return to the capital!”
“Yes, sir!” The generals agreed.
Bai Zhong stepped out of the tent and prepared to lead the troops back to the capital.
However, before he could take two steps out, he was stopped by someone.
The person who stopped Bai Zhong was the Supreme Tribe’s Deputy Chief, Gu Muyin.
Bai Zhong’s eyes were cold as he looked at the person in front of him who was of the same strength as him.”Why are you stopping me?”
Gu Muyin had a sturdy body. Facing Bai Zhong’s cold gaze, he was not afraid at all. He looked straight at him and said,”After you return, you will get nothing but a useless kingdom.”
Bai Zhong didn’t say anything, his eyes still indifferent.
“One of the ninth-grade Saints in the world has already died. Now, the entire balance has been broken.”
“There are still three of them in the Great Chu Country. In addition, there’s Wei Fenghua and that Xu Bai who was able to kill the Emperor for some reason.”
