Chapter 1719: Chapter 1409: I Will Immediately Deploy Troops to Attack the Mysterious Moon Palace

After Lu Jing became the Immortal Emperor of the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty, he thought he could stabilize his position on the throne with the help of the Blood Eagle Hall, only to find that the Immortal Kings of the Royal Family didn’t listen to him at all.

The officials of the Immortal Dynasty also opposed him at every turn. At this moment, Lu Jing was very clear that he was merely a puppet emperor, and his orders couldn’t even be conveyed beyond the Capital city.

Lu Jing grimly scanned the ministers in the great hall. The kind of Immortal Emperor he wanted to be wasn’t like this. He didn’t want to be a puppet emperor; he wanted to be an emperor with real power, making others do whatever he commanded.

At this moment, Lu Jing spoke: “Recently, I discovered that Chen King’s old troops are still at the Mysterious Moon Palace, so I sent people to demand the Mysterious Moon Palace hand over those remnants. Instead, the Mysterious Moon Palace not only failed to hand them over but even killed the envoy I sent.”

Hearing these words, the ministers looked at each other in confusion. They obviously didn’t know about this matter, and they were puzzled as to why Lu Jing was bringing it up now.

Not handing them over was one thing, but with Chen King dead, his old troops would likely soon disperse, unable to stir up any trouble.

Seeing the indifferent expressions on the ministers’ faces, Lu Jing’s anger flared up, and he immediately said, “Mysterious Moon Palace, an external force, dares to act so arrogantly. This matter cannot be left unresolved. If Chen King’s remnants aren’t eradicated, who knows what disaster they might bring to the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty in the future? Hence, I have decided to immediately mobilize forces to attack the Mysterious Moon Palace.”

The ministers in the hall were stunned upon hearing Lu Jing’s words.

Attack the Mysterious Moon Palace?

What kind of joke is this!

You’re an Immortal Monarch Emperor, yet you’re not thinking about consolidating your throne but about starting an external war.

Although the Mysterious Moon Palace currently has only two Immortal Kings, buoyed by the qi fortune of the Immortal Sect, their Immortal Kings are much stronger than ordinary Immortal Kings.

Attacking the Mysterious Moon Palace at this time, regardless of whether it can be conquered, would result in severe losses for the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty, perhaps costing the lives of several Immortal Kings.

The Tianxia Immortal Dynasty only has a few Immortal Kings; losing more than three could lead to its downfall at the hands of other forces.

The ministers present couldn’t understand what had gotten into Lu Jing, making him think of attacking the Mysterious Moon Palace.

At this moment, recovering from their shock, a minister quickly stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, that would be inadvisable. The Mysterious Moon Palace is currently at the peak of its fortune; attacking them now would likely lead to mutual destruction.”

Another minister stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, I heard recently that the Mysterious Moon Palace has gained another Immortal King, now having two Immortal Kings. We simply cannot conquer the Mysterious Moon Palace.”

Gradually, more and more ministers stepped forward to oppose Lu Jing.

“Your Majesty, you’ve just ascended the throne. It’s unwise to waste resources and wage a war at will.”

“Please, Your Majesty, prioritize the nation and the land. Do not, for personal reasons, lead the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty to a point of no return.”

…

Hearing the ministers’ admonitions, Lu Jing’s expression grew increasingly grim. The tone of their advice was becoming increasingly forceful, almost threatening to dethrone him if he dared to start a war.

Even though he had anticipated opposition from the ministers, Lu Jing hadn’t expected so many would oppose, and with such firm tones, giving him no face as the Immortal Emperor.

Though merely at the Immortal Monarch Realm, he was still the Immortal Emperor of the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty.

At this point, Lu Jing could no longer bear it. He slammed the armrest of the Dragon Throne fiercely, “Enough!”

Seeing Lu Jing enraged, the ministers in the hall immediately fell silent. Lu Jing then said, “Do you truly believe it is I who wishes to attack the Mysterious Moon Palace?”

Hearing this, the ministers felt puzzled. Wasn’t he the one who just proposed attacking the Mysterious Moon Palace?

At this moment, Lu Jing spoke again: “Might the envoy please reveal himself.”

Just as Lu Jing’s voice faded, a man in a green robe appeared in the hall. Although the man was only at the Immortal Monarch Realm, the ministers present were taken aback by his appearance.

Even though he hadn’t voluntarily revealed his identity, people could tell from his garment that he was associated with the Heavenly Splendor Hall.

No one expected Lu Jing to find the Heavenly Splendor Hall, the foremost power in the Southern Domain, as his backing.

Seeing the ministers in the hall stunned into silence, Lu Jing let out a cold laugh. At this moment, the Immortal Monarch spoke, “I am the Outer Gate Deacon of the Heavenly Splendor Hall.”

After saying this, Guihai Immortal Monarch produced an Identity Token, proving his identity.

Upon seeing Guihai Immortal Monarch’s Identity Token, the ministers couldn’t help but wonder why the Heavenly Splendor Hall wanted to attack the Mysterious Moon Palace; was it truly just to eliminate potential threats?

If that were the case, then ten billion years ago, the Heavenly Splendor Hall would have already eliminated all of Chen King’s old troops. For a Super Force like the Heavenly Splendor Hall, there was certainly no possible threat from the remnants of Chen King.

At this point, Lu Jing coldly asked, “Is there anyone who still opposes the military action against the Mysterious Moon Palace?”

Suddenly, the entire hall fell silent, not a single voice was raised in opposition. Lu Jing had brought out the Heavenly Splendor Hall, leaving no one daring to continue opposing.

In front of the Heavenly Splendor Hall, the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty was akin to an ant.

Seeing no further opposition, Lu Jing then said, “Since no one opposes, the court assembly ends here. I ask all my dear ministers to actively prepare for war, as Special Envoy Guihai will be staying in the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty for some time.”

Upon hearing Lu Jing’s words, the expressions on the faces of the ministers present turned somewhat grim.

If the envoy from the Heavenly Splendor Hall kept watch, they wouldn’t dare to work halfheartedly, for offending the Heavenly Splendor Hall might cost them their lives.

Lu Jing wasted no more words with these ministers; he rose directly and headed toward a side chamber, the ministers immediately bowing and saying, “We respectfully see Your Majesty off!”

Shortly after, Lu Jing arrived at the side chamber, with Guihai Immortal Monarch following.

As soon as they reached the side chamber, Guihai Immortal Monarch smiled and said, “Your Majesty, it seems being an Immortal Emperor is quite arduous for you.”

Hearing this, Lu Jing took a deep breath and sighed, “Thanks to the Special Envoy, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to mobilize the army.”

Guihai Immortal Monarch replied calmly, “No matter, this was Qingyun Immortal King’s order.”

When Lu Jing first started cooperating with the Blood Eagle Hall, he was worried about his inability to command the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty’s army. It was then that Guihai Immortal Monarch came from the Blood Eagle Hall to the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty, and Lu Jing realized that attacking the Mysterious Moon Palace wasn’t just the idea of the Blood Eagle Hall, but also that of the Heavenly Splendor Hall.

With the Heavenly Splendor Hall backing him, Lu Jing naturally became more assertive and planned to consolidate power through this war.
