The Nandou Imperial City was immersed in a festive atmosphere, especially in the palace. Many people were looking forward to Crown Prince Luo Junlin leading strong cultivators to attack Cangye.
According to His Majesty, this day was not far away. In a few days, he would destroy Cangye and kill Ye Futian.
With such a big commotion, people from all over the Nandou Nation arrived. Strong cultivators from all the major cities came to observe the situation.
In the palace, people kept coming to visit, including important figures from various prefectures. The Nandou clan also sent people to the palace to congratulate.
At this time, a group of people descended from the sky and arrived outside the palace. It was the emperors of the Yunchu Nation and the Yan Kingdom. They were still holding Ye Danchen and Ye Lingxi.
There were many people outside the palace. Someone recognized the six and exclaimed, "It's Emperor Chu, Emperor Yan, and the others."
"That's right. Didn't they pledge allegiance to the Cangye Kingdom? Why are they here now?"
Everyone's eyes flashed. Then, they saw Ye Danchen and Ye Lingxi being held captive. They couldn't help but have a strange expression. They vaguely guessed something.
Even the six emperors who pledged allegiance to the Cangye Kingdom were going to change sides now.
Emperor Chu said to the palace guard, "We are here to see Emperor Luo. We have brought Prince Ye Danchen and Princess Ye Lingxi."
"Please wait a moment," the guard said. He only felt joy in his heart. Over the past few days, many emperors had descended. Even the six emperors who had pledged allegiance to Cangye in the past had come to pledge allegiance now.
Thanks to Crown Prince Luo Junlin, the Nandou Nation was so prosperous.
Not long after, Emperor Chu and the others were invited into the palace.
In the Nandou Nation's palace, Emperor Luo and many other emperors were drinking tea and chatting. They sat on the ground and seemed relaxed.
Seeing the arrival of Emperor Chu and the others, Emperor Luo glanced at them indifferently. Smiling, he said, "How do you have time to come to Nandou?"
"Brother Luo, we fought together last year, but due to the circumstances, we had no choice but to submit to Cangye. Fortunately, now that the crown prince has finally returned, we no longer have to live lowly lives under someone else's roof. I have specially brought the princess and prince of the Cangye Kingdom to visit Brother Luo," Emperor Chu said. Many emperors looked at him.
Her words were really beautiful.
Furthermore, he was so calm. His skin was really thick.
"Why did you bring the princess and prince of the Cangye Kingdom to my Nandou?" Emperor Luo asked indifferently. "You should deal with this yourselves."
After saying that, he quietly drank his tea, unfathomable.
Ye Futian sneered inwardly. These fence-sitters. When the Cangye Kingdom was in power, they wanted nothing more than to stick to the Cangye Kingdom. Now that Luo Junlin had just returned, they all got the news and came here to gather information. Since this was the case, Ye Futian would grant them their wish.
He did not reveal anything about the situation in the Eastern Barren Territory, nor did he mention anything about the challenge. He purposely created a false impression that Luo Junlin had come with the cultivators from the Royal Xuan Temple to destroy Cangye.
He wanted to see what these people would do.
As for the consequences, did he even care about them now?
If Luo Junlin won, Ye Futian would die and the Cangye Kingdom would be destroyed. Everything would be logical.
If his son, Luo Junlin, lost … then these cheerful people would die with him.
"What do you mean, Brother Luo?" Emperor Chu asked.
Emperor Luo continued drinking his tea and did not say anything. He would let Emperor Chu figure it out himself. He did not mind if Emperor Chu misunderstood.
Seeing this, the eyes of Emperor Chu and the others flashed. Then, they glanced at Ye Danchen and Ye Lingxi. Emperor Luo told them to handle it themselves. How should they handle it?
Wasn't it enough to just bring them here?
"Brother Luo, when are we going to attack and destroy Cangye?" an emperor sitting opposite Emperor Luo asked.
"There's no rush. In a few days, Ye Futian will come to die. After killing him, we will destroy Cangye," Emperor Luo said indifferently. His tone was casual as if the Cangye Kingdom was not worth mentioning.
The other emperors smiled and said, "Emperor Luo, with such an outstanding descendant like the crown prince, it is only a matter of time before you dominate the Hundred Lands."
Hearing these compliments, Emperor Luo's expression was indifferent. Emperor Chu and the others, on the other hand, were shocked.
It seemed that the rumors were true. The news came from Emperor Luo himself. Cangye could be destroyed at any time.
Luckily, they came to the Nandou Nation to ask for forgiveness. There was still a chance to redeem themselves.
"Kill yourselves," Emperor Chu said to Ye Danchen and Ye Lingxi.
In an instant, the two of them turned pale and stared at Emperor Chu.
"You are an emperor after all. How can you be so despicable?" Ye Danchen stared at Emperor Chu and said.
Slap … Emperor Chu raised his hand and slapped Ye Danchen, causing him to vomit blood. With a cold expression, he said, "I don't want to talk nonsense. Do it yourself."
Ye Lingxi's beautiful eyes were filled with sadness. She was so young and naturally did not want to die.
"Aren't you afraid of his revenge?" Ye Lingxi stared at Emperor Chu and asked.
"Didn't you hear what Brother Luo said?" Emperor Chu sneered.
Ye Lingxi smiled. "Although I don't know what happened, Luo Junlin, the crown prince of the Nandou Nation, is nothing compared to Ye Futian. Moreover, there are still Yu Sheng, Ye Wuchen, and Hua Jieyu. You will definitely regret it."
A cold aura bloomed from Emperor Luo and his murderous intent filled the air.
Ye Lingxi closed her eyes and a figure appeared in her mind. She was unwilling.
Was she going to die just like this? She did not want to die.
Why did fate have to play with her like this?
"Stop." A cold voice was heard. Then, Emperor Chu saw a slender and elegant woman in red walking over. She looked at him coldly and said, "You are an emperor after all. Aren't you a bit too despicable?"
In the beginning, he had humbly surrendered to Cangye. Now, he had captured the prince and princess of Cangye to surrender. He was really unscrupulous in order to survive.
Emperor Chu was humiliated like this and his expression darkened. However, he knew that this woman was the Nandou Nation's Palace Lord, Luo Mengyan, so he did not say anything. He only looked at Emperor Luo.
"Father, can you let me deal with them?" Luo Mengyan looked at Emperor Luo and asked.
Emperor Luo glanced at his daughter and then asked Emperor Chu, "What do you think?"
"Of course, Princess." The others nodded.
"Okay," Emperor Luo said and looked at his daughter.
He knew very well that if Ye Futian won, he would definitely die and the Nandou Nation would be finished. However, today, Emperor Chu and the others captured Ye Lingxi. He was the bad guy and his daughter saved him. He wanted Ye Futian to owe his daughter a favor.
"Come with me," Luo Mengyan said to Ye Danchen and Ye Lingxi.
The two looked at each other and then left with Luo Mengyan. Emperor Chu actually wanted to attack them and the princess of the Nandou Nation saved them.
After the three left, Emperor Luo looked at Emperor Chu and the others and said indifferently, "Everyone, let's have a drink together?"
"Thank you, Brother Luo." The few of them were happy and walked up to sit on the ground. The group of emperors sat together and chatted casually. They were discussing the future of the Hundred Lands. Some emperors even hinted that they were willing to make the Nandou Nation the king of the Hundred Lands.
They knew that when the Nandou Nation sent troops to destroy Cangye, they would be unstoppable. Instead of being passive, they might as well take the initiative and reap some benefits.
…
When Emperor Chu stepped into the Nandou Nation Imperial Palace, a Kunpeng flew quickly in the sky above the Cangye Imperial City.
"We're finally here." Ye Futian looked down and the buildings passed by in front of him. The wind and clouds in the sky changed as they headed straight for the Imperial Palace.
"Master, Masteress, let's visit Uncle Ye first and then go to Donghai City," Ye Futian said to Hua Fengliu.
"We'll listen to you," Nandou Wenyin said with a smile.
"Okay." Ye Futian nodded lightly. Below them, the Imperial Palace could already be seen.
At this time, the Imperial Palace was still very depressing. Emperor Ye had already sent people to the Eastern Barren Territory but it was too late. There was no time. Even if he went personally, with his speed, it would take many days, let alone his subordinates.
More and more news came from the Nandou Nation. Emperor Luo could send troops at any time. Under such circumstances, one could imagine how desperate the Cangye Imperial Palace was.
But at this time, there seemed to be wind and clouds in the sky. The wind blew and many people looked up in shock.
Then, they saw a Kunpeng. Its cloud-like wings spread and slowly descended. At this moment, countless people held their breath and then fell into ecstasy.
The Kunpeng had descended. Ye Futian had returned.
In the Imperial Palace, countless people's hearts beat in anticipation.
Naturally, Emperor Ye saw it as well. His eyes sparkled as he transformed into a sword and soared into the sky.
On the back of the Kunpeng, Ye Futian and the others smiled at Emperor Ye.
"Uncle Ye," Ye Futian called, smiling.
"Your Majesty," Hua Fengliu, Yi Xiang, and the others also called, smiling. They were all very close to Emperor Ye.
Emperor Ye smiled and nodded at everyone but his smile was slightly forced as if he had something on his mind.
"Futian." Emperor Ye's voice was low, without any of his usual cheerfulness. Seeing this, Ye Futian and the others knew that something must have happened. Withdrawing his smile, Ye Futian asked, "Uncle Ye, what's wrong?"
"Luo Junlin came with strong cultivators from the Royal Xuan Temple. Rumor has it that he's going to attack Cangye. The six emperors of the Yunchu Nation betrayed them and took Danchen and Lingxi away. I'm afraid they've already been offered to Emperor Luo," Emperor Ye said.
"Boom!"
As soon as Emperor Ye finished speaking, an uncontrollable coldness exploded from Ye Futian. His expression was extremely cold.
Back then, the six emperors had forced Emperor Ye to hand over his family. But for the sake of the Cangye Kingdom's situation, when Emperor Chu and the others came to him and begged for mercy, he chose to give them a chance and let them stay in the Cangye Kingdom for ten years.
Now, Emperor Chu and the others had betrayed him and even brought his good friends, Ye Danchen and Ye Lingxi. One could imagine how he felt at the moment.
Ye Wuchen walked forward. Sword will emanated from his body and murderous intent filled the air.
"Uncle Ye, come up," Ye Futian called.
Emperor Ye understood what Ye Futian meant. He flashed and landed on the Kunpeng's back.
"Senior Kunpeng, please depart as fast as you can," Ye Futian said.
