Chapter 94. The Confidence of the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms — First Prince Chu Yunxiao!
Why did the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms dare to attack the Great Xia Dynasty?
One had to know that the eldest princess of the Great Xia Dynasty had already publicly pledged her allegiance to Chu Feng, the Third Prince of the Great Chu Dynasty.
The Four Great Ancient Kingdoms all knew that the Great Xia Dynasty’s fate had run out.
But behind it still stood the Great Chu Dynasty.
If the Great Chu Dynasty flew into a rage and sent a Self-Severing Realm expert, the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms would be in serious trouble.
Before this, the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms had no choice but to suppress their desire to annex the Great Xia Dynasty, not daring to make a move for a long time.
However, with the arrival of that great figure, everything was resolved with ease!
This campaign to destroy the Great Xia Dynasty could be said not to be the will of the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms at all.
It was the will of the great figure behind them!
“I truly did not expect this.”
The Mighty Expert who had just spoken kept shaking his head and said in a low voice, “Who would have thought that the First Prince of the Great Chu Dynasty would personally give the order to wipe out the Great Xia Dynasty? I heard that the Holy Emperor of Great Chu does not have much time left.”
“The First Prince’s actions this time seem to be specifically aimed at the Third Prince, Chu Feng?”
The one who had dispatched the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms to destroy the Great Xia Dynasty was precisely the First Prince, Chu Yunxiao!
Gu Huaiyun sneered and said, “Hmph, that Chu Feng brought this upon himself!”
“I already knew that Chu Feng was arrogant and overbearing to the extreme. He actually dared to forcefully kill An Tianyi, the First Prince’s chief follower!”
“A follower is the face of any heaven-defying genius. If Chu Feng had merely defeated or injured him, the First Prince would not have been enraged to this extent. But he went so far as to kill him outright!”
“Once the First Prince learned of this, his fury soared to the heavens. He was determined to make Chu Feng pay the price!”
“The destruction of the Great Xia Dynasty is merely returning blow for blow.”
Gu Huaiyun said proudly, “After the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms destroy the Great Xia Dynasty, not only will we suffer no retaliation from the Great Chu Dynasty, but our Four Great Ancient Kingdoms will also have boarded the great ship of the Great Chu Dynasty!”
“After all, you all know the First Prince’s strength. He is one of the most likely contenders to become the next Holy Emperor!”
Hearing Gu Huaiyun’s words, the other seven Mighty Experts all nodded.
They glanced toward the residence behind them, their expressions and eyes filled with the utmost reverence.
At this moment, that First Prince was within the residence in Tian’nan City, and he seemed to have brought a guest with him.
Of course, that had nothing to do with the experts of the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms.
Whoosh.
At that moment, a figure sped over from the horizon.
It was a Condensing Dao Realm cultivator, one of the Great Desolation Ancient Kingdom’s intelligence personnel.
The Condensing Dao Realm cultivator’s face looked extremely ugly. After arriving before Gu Huaiyun, he hesitated and stammered, seemingly not daring to speak.
Seeing this, Gu Huaiyun’s eyes darkened as he said, “Whatever news you have, speak directly. Why are you stammering like this?”
The Condensing Dao Realm cultivator felt his scalp go numb and could not help but say, “Old Ancestor, Chu Feng, the Third Prince of the Great Chu Dynasty, has already arrived at the Great Xia Imperial City. He made his arrival in an extremely high-profile manner. All the cultivators in the city saw it.”
Upon hearing this, the many Mighty Experts present were all greatly startled.
Gu Huaiyun’s gaze sharpened.
“What? Chu Feng has arrived at Great Xia’s Imperial City?”
“This…”
“I heard that Chu Feng is held in extremely high regard by the Great Chu Imperial Family. He even has a Self-Severing Realm Dao Protector behind him!”
“If we proceed, I fear…”
Several Mighty Experts spoke hesitantly.
They had originally thought that if Chu Feng did not come, then the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms could join forces and destroy the Great Xia Dynasty.
After that, there would be no consequences.
After all, standing behind the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms was the First Prince, Chu Yunxiao!
But now, Chu Feng had directly arrived at Great Xia’s Imperial City.
If the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms attacked the Imperial City now…would that not be a direct slap to Chu Feng’s face?
Gu Huaiyun’s eyes narrowed as he pondered.
At that moment, the Condensing Dao Realm cultivator looked as though he wanted to speak but did not dare. He said, “Old Ancestor, His Highness the Third Prince also asked me to bring you a message.”
“What message? Speak!” Gu Huaiyun said in a heavy voice.
The Condensing Dao Realm cultivator’s face turned slightly pale as he said, “Old Ancestor, please do not get angry when I say it!”
“What nonsense. Am I going to kill you for it?” Gu Huaiyun shouted.
Trembling, the Condensing Dao Realm cultivator said word by word, “That Third Prince, Chu Feng, said that he can spare the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms, but the only condition is… that all the Mighty Experts sent here by the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms must commit suicide!”
“And then withdraw their troops on their own!”
“If they do that, he will not make trouble for the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms and will let bygones be bygones!”
After saying that, the Condensing Dao Realm cultivator seemed about to collapse from head to toe, barely able to remain standing!
And the moment those words fell—
RUMBLE!
CRACK!
The earth trembled as though it were about to split apart!
Gu Huaiyun’s face instantly became incomparably twisted.
“What? He wants us to kill ourselves and withdraw our troops on our own?!”
“Does this Chu Feng think he is already the Holy Emperor of Great Chu?!”
“That bastard! The Great Chu Dynasty is indeed powerful, but for him to say such a thing is sheer arrogance. He truly sees us as ants!”
“This brat is madly conceited. If he did not have the backing of the Great Chu Dynasty, I could kill him in an instant!”
The other Mighty Experts were all equally enraged when they heard this.
Gu Huaiyun’s chest rose and fell violently, killing intent filling his eyes. He did not speak, but his expression and aura had already said everything.
One had to know what kind of people they were.
They were all Mighty Experts, cultivators with talent and fortune, who had gone through endless hardships and dangers to reach this step!
Yet with a single sentence, Chu Feng wanted them to commit suicide and withdraw their troops?
It was simply the greatest joke under heaven!
Gu Huaiyun gnashed his teeth and was just about to say something—
“I did not expect that my worthless younger brother would come as well.”
Suddenly, a calm voice came from the residence in Tian’nan City.
The moment they heard this voice, the eight Mighty Experts present were all greatly shocked.
They immediately dropped to one knee and bowed toward the direction of the Tian’nan City residence.
Then they saw a young man in cold, murderous black armor slowly walking out.
At the young man’s side was a burly man with a head of golden hair, walking beside him with a faint smile.
Behind the two of them followed many others, all either followers or subordinates.
“First Prince!”
“First Prince!”
The eight Mighty Experts spoke in unison, their voices filled with utmost reverence.
That young man clad in black armor was precisely the First Prince of the Great Chu Dynasty, Chu Yunxiao!
At a single glance, one could tell that he was sharp and imposing, without the slightest intention of concealing his edge. Between his brows was peerless dominance, and from his bones emanated an aura of pride that towered above Heaven and Earth!
And the burly golden-haired man beside Chu Yunxiao was hardly inferior. His entire body carried a suppressive pressure from his bloodline alone. There was no need to think further to know that his strength was terrifying.
Chu Yunxiao’s expression remained calm, but a cold murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
“Hmph. But that is fine. Since he has come, I may as well settle the score while I am here!”
Chu Yunxiao spoke indifferently, yet every word that left his mouth shook the heart and instinctively inspired awe.
