âWage war against Great Luo? Have you lost your mind?â
Yaoyao couldnât help but say: âGreat Luo has the entire Taoist Sect behind it. If you wage war against Great Luo, itâs the same as opposing the Taoist Sect! The Taoist Sect is a top power in the world, and your Great Xia is just a Dynasty. The gap between you is like a vast chasm. How dare you?â
âSo, am I supposed to just swallow this grievance quietly?â
Lin Beifan was very agitated: âIf he dares to frame me today, heâll dare to strike tomorrow! You see, heâll never understand the depth of his mistake if we donât teach him a profound lesson! Someone!â
âYour Majesty!â Liu Eunuch came over.
Lin Beifan said: âPrepare an imperial edict for me, send it to the Western Army, and have them lead the troops into Great Luo!â
Liu Eunuch was somewhat surprised by this order but still responded: âAs you command!â
Yaoyao was anxious: âAre you serious?â
âAbsolutely!â Lin Beifan nodded firmly.
âNo need to rush it, this battle is no small matter. Iâll go back and discuss it with my Master first!â Yaoyao said.
âTake your time to discuss. This battle is a must for me!â
Lin Beifan returned to the imperial study, gathered the Innate masters, and had them carry the imperial decree to the White Tiger Fortress.
âŠâŠ
At this time, Yaoyao had already run back to the unnamed mountain peak and met with the Master of the Demon Sect.
âMaster, something serious has happened!â
âWhatâs happened, Yaoyao?â
Demon Sect Master Zi Liuli looked at her beloved disciple with an indulgent smile: âWhy did you leave Great Xia and come here?â
âMaster, thereâs been a big incident!â
Yaoyao said urgently: âThat foolish emperor is very angry after he finds out that it was the Great Luo Dynasty who was spreading rumors behind the scenes and undermining Great Xia! Heâs already mobilizing troops and will soon wage war against Great Luo!â
ââŠwhat?â The Demon Sect Master was also stunned.
The first reaction was the same: Had Lin Beifan lost his mind?
The second reaction was: Lin Beifan is so shrewd, how could he possibly do something so foolish?
Could it be that âsomeone behind himâ had given his consent?
The more the Demon Sect Master thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Otherwise, how could he have the courage?
Yaoyao urgently said: âMaster, his imperial decree has already been dispatched, and the troops are all ready. What should we do?â
The Demon Sect Master smiled calmly: âYaoyao, donât worry, he might have other plans!â
âHow can I not worry? Heâs clearly hitting a stone with an egg, courting his own destruction!â Yaoyaoâs face was filled with worry.
The Demon Sect Master chuckled to herself. Hitting a stone with an egg, courting his own destruction?
Such an incident would be utterly impossible with that person around!
Of course, unless the Taoist Sect went all out and summoned that old ancestor from their ranks.
Even then, it would be a fair match.
âHereâs what weâll do, Yaoyao. If youâre really worried about your sweetheart, you should lead our Demon Sectâs experts to assist him!â
Yaoyao was dumbfounded once again: âWhat? Our Demon Sect is getting involved too?â
You see, although both our Demon Sect and the Taoist Sect are transcendent powers that have been in conflict for thousands of years, itâs only in situations of absolutely conflicting interests that they would actually come to blows.
This battle clearly has no direct interest conflict with their Demon Sect.
âOur Demon Sect must get involved. Itâs always better to send charcoal in snowy weather than adding flowers to brocade.â
The Demon Sect leader said with a meaningful smile. âGo on, this is the sect leaderâs token. Take it and mobilize the troops!â
Yaoyao took the token, shocked once again.
This sect leaderâs token represented the will of the leader, allowing the mobilization of at least one-third of the forces.
It could even invite a Grandmaster elder to assist.
Yaoyao couldnât understand why her Master was so supportive of Great Xia.
But she knew that with this token, Great Xia had hope.
âMaster, Iâm heading down the mountain. Wait for my good news!â Yaoyao ran off in a hurry.
âŠâŠ
By this time, the Western Army stationed at White Tiger Fortress had already received Lin Beifanâs imperial decree.
Out of a total of 600,000 soldiers, 100,000 were left to guard the fortress, while the remaining 500,000, led by Wu Sangui, opened the fortress gates and launched a surprise attack on Great Luo.
The Great Luo troops stationed there could never have imagined that Great Xia would dare to lead an attack against them.
Even less could they have foreseen that among their ranks were more than a dozen Innate masters.
In the Great Luo army, there were only two or three.
In no time at all, the Great Luo fortress was breached.
The Great Xia troops broke through the fortress and advanced westward, conquering cities and territories with astonishing speed.
This sudden battle spread throughout the world, shocking everyone.
âGreat Xia actually dares to attack Great Luo? I can only exclaim, âGoodness!â â
âItâs really shocking! So unbelievable! Isnât Great Xia afraid of offending the Taoist Sect behind them?â
âThey must not be afraid. Otherwise, how would they dare to attack?â
âThis battle is too strange and too sudden! I suspect itâs another work of the Great Xia Emperor! Only he could do something so incomprehensible out of the blue!â
âI think so too. That guy always taking the unconventional path!â
âEveryone, guess who will win this battle?â
One is a rising super Dynasty, and the other is a new Dynasty supported by the Taoist Sect.
This battle is too interesting!
The eyes of the entire world are fixed on this conflict.
âŠâŠ
Inside the Great Luo imperial palace, the Great Luo Emperor was already in shock, his face pale: âHow dare Great Xia?â
Keep in mind that he is an Emperor supported by the Taoist Sect.
Any Emperor supported by the Taoist Sect could establish an Empire and become a powerful ruler.
To oppose him is to oppose the Taoist Sect behind him.
Under the heavens, there are only a few forces that can arm-wrestle with the Taoist Sect.
He simply couldnât understand how Great Xia, a nation that wasnât even an empire, dared to lead troops to attack.
At this moment, Song Yufei floated over while expressing her concern: âYour Majesty, there is something strange about this battle. There might be some misunderstandings! Shall I go to Great Xia to inquire with the Great Xia Emperor to see if this war can be avoided?â
âThank you for your kind intentions, Fairy, but thereâs no need!â
With a grand gesture, the Great Luo Emperor declared: âNo matter the reason, since they dare to attack us, they are our enemies! I have never been soft-hearted when dealing with my enemies!â
He immediately summoned the civil and military officials to gather troops and generals.
Song Yufei found that the situation had developed beyond her expectations and was now out of control.
So, she rushed to Great Xia like lightning.
