The Emperor never showed his emotions. However, he had just received an urgent letter that made him angry in front of all the officials. It was clear how serious the situation was.
"Today's morning court session will end here. Dismissed."
The Emperor did not say a word. He was no longer in the mood for morning court session. He stood up and walked out. It was useless for him to talk about the Primordial Soul Realm powerhouse obstructing the empire's southern expedition. The civil and military officials might be resourceful and talented enough to govern the world. However, it was impossible to discuss with them how to deal with the Primordial Soul Realm powerhouse. After all, once one's cultivation reached the Primordial Soul Realm, one would be an immortal. No matter how high the civil and military officials were, it would be useless.
In the court session, the officials looked at each other. No one knew what had happened.
…
"State Preceptor, the Primordial Soul Realm powerhouses should not be involved in the conflicts between countries. However, that person does not seem to be from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. He did not follow the rules at all. What should we do now?"
In a palace, the Fengyu Emperor frowned and said worriedly. A white-haired old man sat opposite him. The old man had white hair and a ruddy complexion. He sat there casually. On the other hand, the Fengyu Emperor was rather reserved when he faced the old man. There was a rather respectful expression on his face.
This old man was the State Preceptor of Fengyu. Very few people knew his name. Usually, people called him State Preceptor Fang or Immortal Master Fang. What was an Immortal Master? Only those who had cultivated to the Way of Immortality could be called an Immortal Master.
The old man in front of them was an immortal cultivator in the Primordial Soul Realm. He was a well-known figure in the entire Donghe Prefecture. It was precisely because he was the State Preceptor of Fengyu that the country could rise to power in such a short time.
"For a young man to be able to cultivate to the Primordial Soul Realm, it is either because he has a technique to preserve his youth or because he has great talent and great potential. The former is easier to deal with. With me around, he may not be able to stir up trouble. However, if it is the latter, I'm afraid it will be much more troublesome. "
State Preceptor Fang stroked his snow-white beard and said lightly.
"State Preceptor, I understand what you mean. However, we are so close to annexing Xiping and strengthening Fengyu. How can I be willing to let this opportunity go to waste? Moreover, according to the letter, that young man should not be from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. He should have entered the Peng Lai Immortal Realm by chance. Even if he has some background, it should not affect him here. "
That person was most likely an outsider. As someone from the Peng Lai Deity Realm, why would they be afraid of an outsider's background?
"Your Majesty's words make sense. I already have a plan. Since that person is so arrogant, as the state preceptor of Fengyu, I naturally have to meet him. However, I still have to request two treasures from His Majesty. With those two treasures in hand, even killing that person wouldn't be a problem. "
State Preceptor Fang smiled faintly. His eyes lit up when he mentioned the two treasures.
"Imperial Teacher, you mean you want to use the Nation Armament?" Fengyu's emperor's expression turned serious. The Nation Armament was the inherited treasure of Fengyu. It was the foundation of internal power and heritage. It could not be used easily.
"Your Majesty, although I have entered the Primordial Soul Realm for more than a hundred years, I am still at the early stage of the Primordial Soul Realm due to my poor aptitude. If I do not have the Nation Armament, even if I am stronger than that young man, it will be very limited. I may not be able to deter him. After all, he is only one person, and we are a huge country. If he goes against us, we will be the ones to suffer. "
State Preceptor Fang sighed softly. A powerhouse in the Primordial Soul Realm could not be easily offended. Once he was offended, he could either be killed to prevent future trouble or he could be intimidated to prevent revenge.
"Alright. Since that person dares to look down on Fengyu, I will show him what it means to not take advantage of the power of a country. State Preceptor, go with the Nation Armament. If possible, you must kill that person. "
A murderous intent flashed in the eyes of Fengyu's emperor. He felt a strong desire to kill someone who dared to obstruct his grand ambitions.
…
In the hall where the emperor lived in Xiping, a person who looked like a spy was half-kneeling on the ground. He was reporting to the emperor of Xiping about an important matter that had just been sent back.
"What! A powerhouse in the Primordial Soul Realm has helped our country to stop Fengyu's army? "
The emperor of Xiping was stunned at first. He had never dreamed that such a thing would happen. Then, he was overjoyed. "Is this true?"
"Your Majesty, after hearing about this, I was also quite surprised. However, based on the information sent from various places, this should not be false. Fengyu's vanguard army is indeed retreating. They should have retreated 250 miles away. Moreover, many people in Xu Village have seen the powerhouse in the Primordial Soul Realm with their own eyes. They speak with certainty. After a comprehensive analysis, the information is 80% true, "the spy in black said respectfully.
He had never suspected that this was a conspiracy by Fengyu to purposely mislead Xiping because there was no need to do so. Fengyu had already invaded Xiping's hinterland. They were like the wind and the waves. They were aggressive and could wipe out the entire Xiping Country in one go.
At this time, there was no need to waste time playing tricks. Instead, it would give Xiping time to breathe.
Naturally, the emperor of Xiping Country was also very clear about this.
In this war with Fengyu, Xiping had suffered repeated losses. Many defense lines had collapsed, and the borders had been lost. Once they entered the hinterland, it was a piece of flat land. They could no longer stop the ferocious Fengyu army.
As the emperor of Xiping, his hair had almost turned white from worry. He had no appetite for food and could not sleep at night. His anxiety and panic were increasing day by day. He was about to become the ruler of a fallen country. He did not expect such a turn of events at the critical moment.
"Your Majesty, how should we deal with this?" the spy in black asked.
"This is a good opportunity to rest and consolidate our defense. Send down the order. Take this opportunity to consolidate our army's strength and set up the frontline fortifications. At the same time, send out experts to monitor the movements of the Fengyu army and the Primordial Soul Realm seniors day and night …"
The emperor of Xiping issued a series of orders. Although he was not a great ruler, he was not stupid either. At this time, he naturally knew what to do.
…
At night, in the secret chamber of the emperor of Xiping, a guest came. This person was an old man. As the emperor of Xiping, he was very respectful to this old man. If anyone was here, they would definitely recognize this old man as one of the few Primordial Soul Realm powerhouses in Donghe Prefecture.
Xiping was able to be established because they had the support of a cultivation sect. There were Primordial Soul Realm powerhouses in the sect. This old man was the Grand Supreme Elder of the sect. In the war between Fengyu and Xiping, both sides had stipulated that cultivators at the Primordial Soul Realm could not participate. Therefore, even if Xiping had the support of a country, it would not be of any use at this time.
"In that case, I will go to the frontline and take a look. That young man has blocked Fengyu's path. Based on the emperor's personality, he will not compromise easily. He will most likely send out experts to deal with that young man. Although I cannot act due to the rules, it should not be a problem for me to go and take a look, "the old man said softly.
