No one thought that the Moonless Empire would start a war at this time, but judging from the current situation, the Moonless Empire was indeed preparing for an all-out war.
The civil and military officials of the Heavenly Wolf Empire were a little confused by Chu Wuming's actions. But just in case, the Emperor of the Heavenly Wolf Empire ordered the army of the Heavenly Wolf Empire to gather at the Hulao Pass to prevent the Moonless Empire from starting a war.
Although the current situation of the Moonless Empire wasn't suitable to start a war, it was still better to be careful.
After two hours of court assembly, the Bloodwolf King and the other courtiers of the Heavenly Wolf Empire left the palace together. Sitting in the carriage, the Bloodwolf King's expression didn't look too good. At the same time, a thought kept lingering in his mind.
"If the demonic beasts of the Tiger-Leopard Ridge are involved, then the Moonless Empire might really start a war …"
He had been thinking about this problem for a long time. After all, the Bloodwolf King clearly saw the Tiger Emperor personally escorting Xiao Chen and the others back to the Moonless Empire.
To be able to do this, it was obvious that the Tiger Emperor and Xiao Chen had reached some kind of agreement. Moreover, Xiao Chen must have something that the Tiger Emperor couldn't refuse. In this case, if Xiao Chen went to the Tiger-Leopard Ridge to persuade the Tiger Emperor, then the demonic beasts of the Tiger-Leopard Ridge might really intervene.
However, on second thought, the Bloodwolf King felt that it was impossible. After all, the Tiger-Leopard Ridge had existed for so many years. If they were willing to help humans, why would they wait until now?
Moreover, humans and demonic beasts were enemies, so why would they join hands? Even if Xiao Chen had something that the Tiger Emperor needed, he must have used it the last time.
He thought that Xiao Chen had already used up his bargaining chip when the Tiger Emperor saved him last time. However, the Bloodwolf King definitely wouldn't have thought that the Tiger Emperor didn't obtain anything last time and only received a promise from Xiao Chen.
Just because of a promise, the Tiger Emperor personally escorted Xiao Chen back to the Moonless Empire. This was something that the Bloodwolf King didn't expect.
That was because he understood the Tiger Emperor's personality all too well. This was definitely a master who wouldn't act unless he saw a rabbit. If you wanted him to help you without any benefits, that was definitely a pipe dream.
He did not think that Xiao Chen had any bargaining chips that could make the Tiger Emperor take action. At the same time, it was impossible for monsters to form an alliance with humans. Combining these two reasons, the Blood Wolf King gradually calmed down. He felt that he had made a big fuss over nothing.
After returning to the King's Palace, Blood Wolf King was in a bad mood because of Xiao Chen. That brat had snatched away the beauty that was already in his hands. Until now, Blood Wolf King still couldn't let go of Bai Ruyue's matter. Blood Wolf King was indeed infatuated with Bai Ruyue.
In the mansion, the Bloodwolf King looked in the direction of the Moonless Empire and said coldly, "Xiao Chen, you better not fall into my hands. Otherwise, I will make you beg for death."
Blood Wolf King said with overflowing killing intent. Unbeknownst to him, in the Imperial Capital of the Moonless Empire, Xiao Chen also looked at the horizon and said with overflowing killing intent in his eyes, "Blood Wolf King, I will soon be able to chop off your head with my own hands."
Blood Wolf King wanted to kill Xiao Chen. At the same time, Xiao Chen also wanted to kill Blood Wolf King. If he didn't kill Blood Wolf King, Xiao Chen wouldn't feel at ease. Blood Wolf King actually dared to have designs on his mother.
The two empires made their moves one after another. For a moment, the atmosphere in Hulao Pass became tense. Tens of millions of troops were constantly gathering here. At the same time, more troops would arrive. At the same time, all kinds of strategic resources, such as pills and talismans, were constantly being transported to the front line of Hulao Pass.
While both sides were preparing, Zhang Qi and the elder from the Celestial Equal Sect successfully met the Emperor of the Gale Empire in the Imperial Capital of the Gale Empire.
"You want my Gale Empire to not take action?" Zhang Qi told the Emperor of the Gale Empire that the Moonless Empire was about to launch a large-scale attack on the Heavenly Wolf Empire. At the same time, Zhang Qi clearly expressed that Xiao Chen hoped that the Gale Empire wouldn't take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the Moonless Empire.
Hearing this, the Emperor of the Gale Empire smiled and said, "What benefits do I get by doing this?"
"After the war, the Gale Empire can get one-third of the Heavenly Wolf Empire's territory," Zhang Qi said.
"Oh? Interesting, but is the Moonless Empire so confident that they can win? "
"This isn't something that the Gale Empire should consider. After all, the Gale Empire doesn't need to do anything in this war. As long as they don't move, they will have the opportunity to get one-third of the Heavenly Wolf Empire's territory. Moreover, if the Moonless Empire is defeated, the Gale Empire won't suffer any losses, right?"
This was a completely empty deal. Without mobilizing a single soldier, the Gale Empire would have the opportunity to get one-third of the Heavenly Wolf Empire's territory. Regardless of the result, the Gale Empire wouldn't suffer any losses.
Xiao Chen only had one request for the Gale Empire, and that was to not stab them in the back. After all, ninety percent of the Moonless Empire's army had been transferred to Hulao Pass. The defense against the Gale Empire could be said to exist in name only. If the Gale Empire launched an attack at this time, the Moonless Empire wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Hearing Zhang Qi's words, the Emperor looked at the Celestial Equal Sect's elder. Since the Celestial Equal Sect's elder had appeared here, it clearly proved that the Celestial Equal Sect was also involved in this matter.
Just as Xiao Chen thought, the appearance of the Celestial Equal Sect's elder made the Emperor of the Gale Empire somewhat fearful.
The Emperor of the Gale Empire didn't immediately agree to Zhang Qi's request. Instead, he had the two rest in the imperial capital. In response, Zhang Qi said, "I hope Your Majesty can give us an answer as soon as possible. The situation of the war is constantly changing. We don't have much time."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely give you an answer within three days."
"That's good. Then we'll wait for Your Majesty's answer in the imperial capital," said Zhang Qi.
The Emperor of the Gale Empire personally arranged accommodations for Zhang Qi and Zhang Qi. The next day, the Emperor of the Gale Empire asked for the opinions of his ministers at the imperial court meeting.
Actually, this matter wasn't very difficult to choose because there were only benefits and no disadvantages. They didn't need to exert themselves and there were benefits to be gained. Only an idiot would refuse such a thing.
Therefore, the Emperor of the Gale Empire didn't even wait three days. The Emperor of the Gale Empire gave an answer the next day.
The Gale Empire agreed to the Moonless Empire's request. During the period of time when the Moonless Empire and the Heavenly Wolf Empire were at war, the Gale Empire wouldn't invade the Moonless Empire in the slightest.
After receiving the Gale Empire's reply, Zhang Qi and Zhang Qi immediately returned to the Moonless Empire to report. The matter progressed very smoothly. Of course, all of this was within Xiao Chen's expectations.
They didn't need to worry too much about the rear anymore. With the Gale Empire's guarantee, the Moonless Empire could fully focus on the war with the Heavenly Wolf Empire.
Several days later, Zhang Qi and Zhang Qi returned to the imperial capital. After receiving the news, Xiao Chen said with a faint smile, "Looks like it's about time for me to head to the Tiger-Leopard Ridge."
