Expanding their territory was naturally a great boon. There was nothing better than this for the empire. That meant more territories, more Great Change Immortal Cities, and a larger population base. Ten years of recuperation, Da Yi couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to drink blood.
They had the power to support a large-scale war.
Da Yi's army had been yearning for war for a long time. The previous expansions hadn't given them any room to display their strength. They had all been discussed beforehand, and it was almost like they were giving Da Yi territory. The only time he had truly fought was in the Netherworld. Unfortunately, the Lich King was no match for him. He had been killed in just two blows.
Hearing that there was a chance to go to the battlefield, the generals in the hall lit up with a fiery light. They were all eager to head to the battlefield as long as there was a battle. They could make contributions and even confer titles to their wives and children. They could seize titles and take charge of their families.
"Thirdly, we can destroy the tumor that Evernight has planted in our Everlasting World, cutting off their claws and teeth. I believe there aren't many realms that have been invaded as deeply as the Dark World. If we can destroy it, it will hurt Evernight greatly. We can also make Da Yi famous in Everlasting World once more. It will be even more attractive to the geniuses of the world. "
Liu Bowen explained his thoughts with a smile.
This battle was absolutely necessary.
It would bring great benefits to Da Yi.
Of course, the prerequisite was that Da Yi could win this battle.
It was certain that the war would be difficult. One had to know that there were hundreds of Dao-corroborating experts in the Forbidden Zone, and yet they were still at a disadvantage. One could imagine how terrifying the enemy would be. Such an opponent would be able to incite a strong will to fight. Only an evenly matched opponent would be a good opponent. When had Da Yi ever been afraid of war?
They had even killed their way back to Evernight.
Fear didn't exist in the hearts of Da Yi's soldiers.
At worst, they would just die on the battlefield.
"I'm afraid this battle won't be too optimistic. We have to be prepared for a long period of time or even suffer heavy casualties. Should we notify the various sects within the territory to send their cultivators to the battlefield? "asked Xun Yu with a slight frown.
This battle was destined to not go too smoothly. Even the hundred forbidden zones were suppressed. The strength of the other party was clear to see.
"No matter how difficult the enemy is, our military is confident that we can suppress them."
Yang Ye said with a confident expression.
This was the confidence that came from killing.
It was a belief forged from battle.
"War, of course we have to fight. The Dark Domain is a part of our Eternal World, and the experts of the forbidden zones are also part of our Eternal World's foundation. How can we just watch them die in the hands of the demonic creatures? This battle was imperative. However, the exact situation in the Dark Domain is still unknown. What we know is only a rough idea. Therefore, we still need to wait. We need to wait for the spies that Da Yi has hidden in the Dark Domain to send back detailed information. At that time, we will know ourselves and our enemies, and we will be invincible. "
Yi Tianxing was also waiting for Da Yi's spies to send back detailed information.
It was not a wise move to rashly launch an expedition to the Dark Domain when the situation was unclear. Da Yi had many spies in the Dark Domain. Even though the Dark Domain had been in constant battles over the years and was extremely chaotic, there were still brave warriors who risked their lives to enter the Dark Domain to gather information. Every once in a while, there would be information sent back. However, in the process, the number of casualties was not small.
Only one of the ten spies might survive, or even none of them. The whole team might be wiped out. Moreover, they had chosen people with strong survival abilities and extremely powerful hiding abilities. Otherwise, the number of casualties would be even greater.
"Holy King, the spies have sent back information, but … Holy King, you must be mentally prepared."
At this moment, Tong Huang walked in quickly. His face was slightly stern and uneasy as he spoke.
"What's going on?"
Yi Tianxing had never seen such an expression on Tong Huang's face. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he took the report. Then, a message naturally appeared in his mind.
"Dad, Mom."
All of a sudden, Yi Tianxing's body shuddered, and his expression changed.
At his level, he could no longer show his emotions on his face. However, at this moment, he could not suppress the change in his expression. It was easy to imagine how shocked he was. It was a huge blow.
His birth parents were unknown, but Yi Tianxing had never forgotten about his adoptive parents. His adoptive father, Zhao Haifeng, and his adoptive mother, Huang Yu.
Their identities were not simple at all back then. They were researchers in a national research institute, and their complex research was related to some important national projects. The level of the research institute was among the highest.
It could be said that their identity and status were all classified.
During the Cataclysm, Yi Tianxing had tried to call them, but they were in the research institute, and all communication with the outside world was completely blocked. There was no way to get in touch with them. After a series of unforeseen events, he had not found any traces of them until now.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had a feeling that they were still alive, he would have thought that they were already dead. However, he could not find their exact location. He only knew that they were temporarily safe and alive.
Every time he occupied a new domain, he would go to check if there was any news about his adoptive parents. However, he was disappointed again and again.
He did not expect that the real news he heard was from the Dark Domain.
"703 Underground Research Institute. It's actually located in the Dark Domain. I caught a group of researchers from the research institute. Some of them are surnamed Zhao, and some are surnamed Huang. This is the research institute where my parents worked. "Yi Tianxing took a deep breath, and his eyes flickered. Thoughts flashed in his mind.
No matter how excited he was, he maintained his rationality as quickly as possible.
"How could it be so coincidental?"
A thought popped up in his mind.
It was too coincidental. There was an unforeseen event in the Dark Domain, and then there was news about his adoptive parents. This news was too coincidental. There must be a reason for a coincidence. If there really was a reason, then there was no doubt that it was targeted at him. If it was not a coincidence, then it meant that his adoptive parents had really fallen into the hands of the Evernight faction in the Dark Domain.
The biggest question here was whether the news was true or false.
Or whether the Evernight faction knew about the relationship between him and his adoptive parents.
"Holy King, I wonder what happened."
The officials in the great hall were all surprised when they saw this. In the end, it was Liu Bowen who asked.
"Yes, take a look at this intelligence report."
Yi Tianxing took a deep breath, and with a wave of his hand, he transmitted the intelligence report directly to everyone's mind. All of them fell silent and began to read the information. After reading it, they couldn't help but feel troubled by the terrible situation in the Dark Domain.
According to the intelligence report, the number of Evernight demonic creatures was almost innumerable. Even if they died in battle, they would emerge in an endless stream. The entire world had become a hunting ground for demonic creatures. They launched fierce attacks on the major restricted areas, and some of them had already been destroyed and their lords had died on the spot. However, this was still within the range of their estimates. They couldn't see what could shock Yi Tianxing so much.
"703 Research Institute. Could it be this? "
A thought flashed through Jia Xu's mind. Yi Tianxing's identity as a heaven-blessed individual wasn't too big of a secret among Da Yi. He knew everything he needed to know. As for the matter of Yi Tianxing's parents, he had never heard of it. Could it be related to this?
"All of you should know that I, the Holy King, came from the Great Cataclysm and am a heaven-blessed individual. Before the Great Cataclysm, I lost contact with my adoptive parents. After decades, there has been no news from them. According to the intelligence report, the 703 Research Institute should be the base where my adoptive parents were during the Great Cataclysm. "
Yi Tianxing said slowly.
His tone was deep, and no emotions could be heard from it.
But at this moment, no emotions were the biggest emotion.
"What the Holy King means is that your adoptive parents might have fallen into the hands of the Evernight Faction."
Xun Yu said with a solemn expression.
Yi Tianxing's adoptive parents were definitely unparalleled in the Da Yi Sacred Court. Their status was high, and people looked up to them. If there was an accident, it would definitely be an earth-shattering earthquake.
"Holy King, is it possible that this is a conspiracy? Things happened too coincidentally. Why would it appear at this time? Also, looking at the intelligence report, it's obvious that the mastermind behind the scenes is deliberately spreading information about the 703 Research Institute. I have reason to suspect that they are deliberately letting us know. "
Jia Xu said with a slight frown.
He felt that there seemed to be some conspiracy hidden in this. He had a keen sense of smell when it came to such matters.
"There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. We have to be on guard against these things. I have reason to suspect that they are trying to lure the Holy King to the Dark World, and even set up a fatal trap in the Dark World to target the Holy King."
Liu Bowen's eyes flashed with wisdom as he said decisively.
"May I be so bold as to implore the Holy King to hand over the matter of conquering the dark domains to me? If the news is true, I will definitely bring back the Holy Father and Holy Mother even if I have to die in battle in the dark domains."
Zhuge Liang said loudly with determination in his eyes.
Whether there was a conspiracy or not, they had to be on guard. It was better to be safe than sorry. It was the duty of the officials to nip trouble in the bud. Even if they had to sacrifice their lives, they wouldn't hesitate.
"I second the motion."
Xun Yu agreed.
"I second the motion."
One by one, the officials seconded. The safety of Yi Tianxing's identity was of great importance.
