Chapter 71 When I Don’t Have a Choice, I Can Only Fight!
The next morning, at Mystic Ice Palace.
Donghuang Ziyou had been writing memorials the entire night.
Seeing that the sun had risen, she stood up and walked to the door of the hall to relax while enjoying the morning sun.
“Your Majesty, something just happened.” Ruo Ying walked out from the dark.
Donghuang Ziyou glanced at her calmly. “Speak.”
Ruo Ying said, “Do you still remember the princess of the Lone Goose Kingdom, Yan Yao?”
Donghuang Ziyou nodded. “I remember. Back then, when I was cultivating the Sword Dao in the Absolute Beginning Holy Land, she was also cultivating the Sword Dao there.”
“I still remember that she’s a gentle woman. She wasn’t stuck up and she was very easy to get along with.”
She raised her eyebrows slightly.
“I remember that three years ago, I even betrothed her to the Young Valley Master of the Free Valley.”
“Could it be that there’s a problem with their marriage?”
Facing Donghuang Ziyou’s beautiful and dark eyes, Ruo Ying nodded.
“That’s right. The first two years after they got married were still considered blissful, but in the recent year, it slowly changed.” “This morning, I received news that the Young Valley Master of the Free Valley, Jiang Fan, killed his father, crippled Yan Yao’s cultivation, and eloped with a woman.”
Donghuang Ziyou’s gaze turned cold when she heard this. “How can Jiang Fan be so outrageous?”
“What’s even more outrageous is that the woman he eloped with was the princess of the Heavenly Demon Realm’s Lifeless Kingdom.” Ruo Ying revealed a hint of resentment.
“Princess of the Lifeless Kingdom?” Donghuang Ziyou’s eyes were cold.
“The Lifeless Kingdom is outside of the borders of North Mystic Heaven. It is also a very unstable Demon Kingdom.”
“Although Jiang Fan is an ant, the Free Valley he is from is quite famous in North Mystic Heaven. If he defects to the Lifeless Kingdom, he will definitely help the wicked perpetuate evil and harm the commoners of North Mystic Heaven.”
Ruo Ying nodded. “Then how do you think we should deal with it, Your Majesty?”
Donghuang Ziyou said coldly, “When my father was still alive, the Lifeless Kingdom’s Demon Lord sacrificed 100,000 of North Mystic Heaven’s people to an Extraterrestrial Demon. This debt has never been settled.”
“It seems like I should settle this with the Lifeless Kingdom this time!”
Ruo Ying asked, “Your Majesty, are you prepared to declare war on the Lifeless Kingdom?”
Donghuang Ziyou smiled slightly. “War is not what I want, but the situation is pressing. When I have no choice, I can only use force!”
Ruo Ying revealed a hint of worry. “Not only is the Lifeless Kingdom several times more powerful than the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, but Lifeless Kingdom’s Demon Lord is also a veteran Demon Clan powerhouse. He’s much stronger than Bloodthirsty Demon Lord Ye You…”
Donghuang Ziyou raised her hand and interrupted her. “Ever since I ascended the throne, I’ve faced all sorts of enemies.”
“We can’t let the enemy take over North Mystic Heaven just because the enemy is powerful.”
Ruo Ying revealed a look of awe. “Your Majesty is right!”
She knew that Donghuang Ziyou’s every move would be meticulously planned.
Many people in North Mystic Heaven remembered the debt that the Lifeless Kingdom owed to North Mystic Heaven.
After Donghuang Ziyou ascended the throne as the empress, her grand ambition was to bring North Mystic Heaven back to its peak.
In that case, the evil debts of the Lifeless Kingdom must be settled by her!
However… Her Majesty always handled everything by herself and didn’t have a capable helper to share her burden.
Ruo Ying felt her heart ache when she saw this.
Donghuang Ziyou said, “Send someone to the Lifeless Kingdom and ask them to hand Jiang Fan over.”
“Otherwise, I will plant North Mystic Heaven’s Mystic Ice Flag in the capital of the Lifeless Kingdom!”
“Yes!” Ruo Ying turned to leave.
“Wait.” Donghuang Ziyou added in a gentle tone, “Send someone to bring Yan Yao to the Mystic Ice Palace. I want to personally treat her injuries.”
The Mystic Ice Palace had the best medical resources in North Mystic Heaven, and Donghuang Ziyou was the strongest person.
If she helped Yan Yao, perhaps Yan Yao’s injuries could heal faster.
“Got it!” Ruo Ying was touched.
Although Donghuang Ziyou was ruthless, she had always been kind to her family and friends.
North Plateau Mountain Range
The terrain of this mountain range was extremely complicated and special. It was filled with dense forests and towering trees.
And in the valley in the depths of the mountain range was the place where the Silver Goat Clan worshipped their ancestors.
As the leader of the Silver Goat Clan, Sang Mo had already brought all the clansmen of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm to stand in front of the huge altar.
Liang Qiu appeared behind him at this moment and said, “Commander, the three hundred pairs of boys and girls have already been placed in four directions.”
“With a command, we can immediately cut them open and throw them into the river that activates the formation.”
Sang Mo looked satisfied. “Very good!”
North Plateau Mountain Range had an ancient grand formation called the Pan Formation.
This formation was set up by the Silver Goat Clan’s ancestor to protect his clansmen in the Northern Plateau Mountain Range after he infiltrated the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.
As long as the blood and organs of the children were thrown into the river that activated the formation, the four rivers from north, south, east, and west would be connected to each other and successfully activate the formation! “Let’s begin!”
After Sang Mo gave the order, he flew up the altar.
The Pan Formation was activated very quickly, and when worshipping the ancestors, time couldn’t be delayed, so he could start worshiping the ancestors with ease now.
After Liang Qiu received the order, he shot out a dark red ball of light into the sky.
This was the secret signal he had agreed upon with his subordinates. They would kill as soon as they saw the flash of light. At this moment, in the forest at the edge of North Plateau Mountain, beside the river.
There were ten demon warriors with goat horns and horns.
With a huge machete in hand, they looked menacingly at the hundreds of children kneeling beside the river.
“Human beings are born to have their heads chopped off and chests split open!”
“To be able to contribute to the commander’s Ancestral Worship Ceremony, your deaths will be worth it!”
The leading bear demon chuckled and looked at the frightened children cruelly.
Phew ~
A ball of blood-red light lit up in the distant sky.
The bear demon hurriedly licked its lips. “We can attack now!”
“No, please don’t kill us!”
“I don’t want to die… Boohoo!”
These were only seven to eight years old children.
Seeing this group of ferocious demons raise their butcher knives, their eyes were filled with despair.
Bang!
A sharp sword light suddenly burst out and cut the powerful bear demon into two from top to bottom.
All the children and demon warriors looked up.
A man in white descended from the sky like a
god.
“An immortal!” The children’s terrified eyes instantly lit up with hope.
Lin Xuan smiled slightly and raised the sword in his hand. With a lightning-like speed, he chopped the other demon warriors into two.
This morning, after cooking breakfast for the children, he took the opportunity while they were resting and playing to head to Northern Plateau Mountain Range. From the looks of it, he felt that he had arrived at the right time. “God, they also caught many other people and placed them in the east, west, and north. Please save them!” One of the little boys hurriedly pleaded because his companions had been captured Lin Xuan nodded and raised his Emperor Realm true essence to the max. He activated his Divine Movement Bracelet and rushed out in the other direction at lightning speed.
Because he was fast enough, he killed all of the demon warriors in the east, west, and north in one go before they killed anyone.
