“Why are you attacking Great Xia?!” Yin Wuyou continued to ask.
Sun Chuang looked helpless. Why?
We are the Demon God Sect. We are irreconcilable enemies with the Ten Nations. Do we need a reason to attack you?
Thinking of the little fiend, Sun Chuang didn’t dare to say this.
Although he was a first-rank martial artist, it was only a matter of one punch…
“We were originally going to attack Great Wei, but the princess said that she was going to the capital of Great Xia. I misunderstood…”
Yin Wuyou and Ma Fengzhang finally understood. The Demon God Sect originally wanted to seize the territory of Great Wei, but the little girl in Yin Wuyou’s arms had somehow found them and even said that she wanted to go to the capital of Great Xia.
In the end, the Demon God Sect gathered at the border of Great Xia and seemed to attack Great Xia…
“Go to the side first. I’ll think about what to do with you!” Yin Wuyou frowned coldly.
“Your Highness, there are millions of people in the Demon God Sect. I can listen to you. As long as you spare my life, the Demon God Sect will obey you in the future!” Sun Chuang said in a deep voice.
Ma Fengzhang’s eyelids twitched. What do you mean?
His Majesty probably has ,a headache over how to deal with the Demon God Sect’s attack right now. In the end, the Demon God Sect’s master announced his allegiance here?
All because of the king and princess’s daughter?
What would His Majesty think if he knew that the princess and the king even had a daughter…
“Shut up!” Yin Wuyou berated. “I didn’t ask you to speak. Behave yourself!”
“Behave yourself!” Xiaoyu’er followed suit.
Sun Chuang immediately fell silent.
“Commander Ma, watch him!”
Yin Wuyou carried Xiaoyu’er and walked toward the tent not far away.
There were still a few tents left where they had set up camp. She wanted to ask Xiaoyu’er about the situation first.
Yin Wuyou and Xiaoyu’er entered the tent while Sun Chuang and Ma Fengzhang looked at each other.
Ma Fengzhang smiled bitterly in his heart. I’m a third-rank martial artist. Are you serious about getting me to watch over a first-rank martial artist?
Sun Chuang was thinking, If I escape now, will the little brat chase after me?
What are the chances of successfully escaping?
As for Ma Fengzhang and the others, Sun Chuang didn’t care at all.
If not for the princess, even the Great Xia army in front of him wouldn’t be enough for him to kill alone.
After hesitating for a long time, Sun Chuang finally chose to stay.
It wasn’t completely impossible to escape, but the risk was too great.
The little fiend was much faster than him.
As long as there was life, there was hope. As long as he lived, he could always find an opportunity to turn the tables.
He, Sun Chuang, was just a woodcutter who had nothing back then. The only reason he could be where he was today was because of his patience!
In the tent, Yin Wuyou was reading a letter while Xiaoyu’er was sitting beside her, nibbling on a fruit.
The two of them were as beautiful as flowers. Even if they said they were really mother and daughter, no one would suspect them.
Looking at the letter Zhou Shu asked Xiaoyu’er to bring, the doubts in Yin Wuyou’s heart were finally resolved.
It turned out that he had picked her up.
Who would be so heartless as to abandon such a child? Yin Wuyou rubbed Xiaoyu’er’s face with some heartache. Xiaoyu’er looked up and sweetly called her mommy again.
Yin Wuyou’s heart was about to melt.
“Xiaoyu’er, you’ll be my precious daughter from now on. If anyone dares to bully you, I won’t let them off!” Yin Wuyou pulled Xiaoyu’er into her arms.
“Mommy, you’re the best.” Xiaoyu’er giggled.
…
Just as Yin Wuyou was considering how to deal with Sun Chuang, Great Xia’s capital had already entered a state of full combat readiness.
Soldiers kept pouring out of the city and heading toward the border.
The Great Xia Imperial Court was also tense.
“Your Majesty, there’s news from the front. The Demon God Sect’s army gathered at the border has exceeded a million,” said Zhang Fuzhi, the minister of war of Great Xia. “I’ve already mobilized all the soldiers we can mobilize, but we’ve only gathered eight hundred thousand. Any more will affect the safety of the capital.”
If not for the heavy losses in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, Great Xia’s strength would have been much greater.
But now, Great Xia’s military strength was simply stretched thin.
Emperor Yuan Feng frowned. “What did Great Qin say?”
“Great Qin has already sent ten thousand elite soldiers to help, but it’s just a drop in the bucket,” Zhang Fuzhi said.
Who would have thought that the few powerful nations on the Ten Nations Continent couldn’t compare to the Demon God Sect in terms of military strength?!
The impact of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament was too great on the Ten Nations. The elites of the various nations had all entered the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield back then. Who would have thought that these elite armies would never return?
“Continue to seek help from the other nations,” Emperor Yuan Feng said in a deep voice. Now was no longer the time to care about face. It would be very difficult for Great Xia alone to withstand the attack of the Demon God Sect.
If Great Xia was occupied by the Demon God Sect, it would have a massive impact on the other nations. Now that the Nine Nations were united, they would definitely send troops to help.
“Your Majesty, distant water cannot solve a nearby fire. Even if the various nations send troops, reinforcements won’t arrive anytime soon. I suggest that we fortify our defenses and leave nothing usable to the invading enemy!” an old minister with a head full of white hair said with a solemn expression.
“Fortify our defenses and leave nothing usable to the invading enemy?” Emperor Yuan Feng’s expression changed.
“Give up some parts of the city in order to earn us some time. That way, we can reduce our front line,” the old official said. “When the reinforcements from the various nations arrive, we’ll counterattack in one fell swoop!”
“Absolutely not!” Zhang Fuzhi said angrily. “Your Majesty, if we do this, our army will lose their fighting spirit! The territory of Great Xia cannot be lost!
“I request permission to go to the front line. As long as I’m still alive, I will definitely not let those bastards step foot into Great Xia’s territory!”
Zhang Fuzhi’s burly body erupted with battle intent.
“You’re risking the lives of the soldiers!” The old minister was also furious.
“Giving up territory is letting the soldiers sacrifice in vain!” Zhang Fuzhi didn’t back down.
The two of them started arguing in the hall. The other ministers were also divided into two groups. For a moment, the Imperial Court was in chaos.
“Enough!” Emperor Yuan Feng was furious. “Can arguing solve the problem?
“If the King of the South and Great General Meng were still here, would there be a need to quarrel like this?”
Emperor Yuan Feng was just short of pointing at the names of the ministers and cursing them for being useless.
“Your Majesty, please calm down.” Suddenly, a voice sounded in everyone’s ears. “It’s just a mere Demon God Sect. I can destroy it with one hand. Why worry?”
Before he finished speaking, a figure appeared out of thin air in the Imperial Court.
“Protect the emperor!” Eunuch Zhang shouted and took a step sideways to stand in front of Emperor Yuan Feng as his aura erupted.
Yin Changhao appeared out of nowhere, and his aura as a first-rank martial artist erupted as he stared at the intruder.
The person who came was a handsome young man who looked to be in his late twenties. He stood there elegantly with a calm expression. “Everyone, don’t be nervous. I’m here to help you. I have no ill intentions.”
He spread his hands gracefully, indicating that he meant no harm.
Emperor Yuan Feng gestured for Eunuch Zhang to move aside. He looked at the young man and said solemnly, “Who are you?”
This was the Great Xia Imperial Court. For this person to barge in silently, he was definitely not an ordinary person!
“It’s not up to you to decide if you mean any harm!” Yin Changhao shouted coldly. “You’ve trespassed the imperial palace and deserve to be killed!”
He took a step forward and slashed out a sword beam.
The young man’s lips curled up. With a flick of his finger, the sword beam shattered. Yin Changhao’s body trembled violently, and he took a few steps back.
“You’re not my match, so you’d better not attack again. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that I won’t hurt you.” The young man shook his head. “Your Majesty, I came to help you solve the problem of the Demon God Sect. Without my help, your Great Xia will be destroyed in an instant.”
“Alarmist!” Emperor Yuan Feng said coldly. “My Great Xia has been established for a thousand years. How can it be destroyed just because someone wants to?”
“Is that so?” The young man shook his head. “Confidence is a good thing, but blind confidence is foolish.
“Do you believe that it will be easy for me to kill all of you?”
As he spoke, a terrifying aura emanated from his body.
