Suddenly …
Bam!
There was a loud sound.
The King of Yan slammed his palm on the Dragon Table. The Dragon Table made of Golden Steel was smashed into pieces and turned into powder on the ground.
The Great Hall of Political Affairs suddenly became silent. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
After the King of Yan destroyed the dragon table with a single palm strike, he turned around angrily. He swept his gaze across the group of officials and roared angrily, "You are just a bunch of good-for-nothings. I asked all of you to come here to think of a way to fight against the enemy. I did not ask all of you to boost the morale of others and destroy your own prestige."
The officials lowered their heads and no one dared to speak. In fact, they all knew that the Yan Kingdom was going to be destroyed. They all hoped that the Yan Kingdom would surrender to Lin Fan. However, they did not dare to persuade the King of Yan as they were afraid that they would be beheaded.
"All of you, think carefully. It is better to think of a foolproof plan than to think of a foolproof plan. No one can leave here today," the King of Yan said and left the Great Hall of Political Affairs.
After Madam Gou Yi surrendered to Lin Fan, not only did she keep her life, but she was also still in charge of the country. It was because Madam Gou Yi was beautiful and elegant. She was able to please Lin Fan. How could a man like the King of Yan please him?
Madam Gou Yi relied on Lin Fan's favor to rule the Great Yue Country. Her status was still respected.
The King of Yan wanted to surrender, but he was afraid that Lin Fan would kick him out or kill him.
Therefore, he would never surrender.
After the King of Yan left, the officials whispered and discussed. More than half of them wanted to surrender.
"Aiya, the Yellow Dragon Empire is too powerful. The Yan Kingdom is unable to fight back.
The Yue Country is a good example! "
"Yes, Lin Fan is too powerful. He is ruthless. If he fights back, he will end up in a worse state."
"However, it seems that the King of Yan will not surrender so easily."
"Eh, I have an idea. Three years ago, a genius appeared in the Yan Kingdom. She reached the God Immortal Realm at the age of thirty. Does everyone remember?" A military official suddenly said.
"How could I not remember her? She's Immortal Zixia. When she became an Immortal Emperor, she was chosen by the experts of the Falling Jade Realm. I even wrote a poem in her honor," a scholarly official with a delicate appearance said.
"That's right! We can ask Exalted Celestial Zi Xia to descend to the lower realm and repel the enemy!" Everyone's hearts lit up upon hearing this.
"Exalted Immortal Violetglow has already taken up residence in the Falling Sky Realm and severed all ties with the continent. She's focused on pursuing the Immortal Dao, so why would she care about these things?
Besides, the laws of heaven and earth still exist. If she interferes in this matter, she will suffer the wrath of heaven. "A martial official shook his head and said.
"No matter how high one climbs, one should never forget one's roots. Although Immortal Zixia lives in the Azure Realm, the Yan Kingdom is her birthplace, her homeland, and her roots. Now that the Yan Kingdom is facing a crisis, she can't just stand by and watch!"
While the officials were in a heated discussion, the King of Yan returned to the Great Hall of Political Affairs. The discussions of the officials stopped.
The King of Yan's face darkened as he asked in a low voice, "Have you all thought of a solution?"
The civil official who had suggested earlier reported, "Your Majesty, the only thing we can do now is to ask Exalted Celestial Zi Xia to descend to the lower realm and subdue Lin Fan."
"Exalted Celestial Zi Xia?
Hmph, if I can get Exalted Celestial Zi Xia to come, why would I allow you to be so noisy here? "The King of Yan said angrily.
He swept his fierce gaze across the officials. "Exalted Celestial Zi Xia is in the Falling Sky Realm. Where can I go to get her?
If you have the ability, go and get her. Whoever can get her to come, I'll make him the Grand Marshal of the army! "
"Your Majesty, it's said that in order to invite an Exalted Celestial from the upper realm, one needs to use the power of faith from incense. If the power of faith is large enough, one can communicate with the upper realm and contact Exalted Celestial Zi Xia," a Nascent Soul martial official said.
"Communicate with the upper realm? How much power of faith would that require?
Sigh! "The King of Yan sighed.
"Nothing is impossible in this world if one sets his mind to it. If the King of Yan announces to the world that billions of people in the Yan Kingdom burn incense and pray, this power of faith should be able to communicate with the Falling Sky Realm and contact Exalted Celestial Zi Xia!"
"Yes, that's the only thing we can do!"
The King of Yan sighed and shouted, "Come on, announce to the world that no one in the Great Yan Kingdom will be able to sleep tonight. Tonight, at midnight, every family will burn incense and pray. I will gather the power of faith from billions of incense and communicate with the Azure World. I will contact Zixia Heavenly Fairy and invite her to come to the Mortal World to subdue Lin Fan!"
After the King of Yan finished speaking, someone had already gone to draft the decree.
Seeing that the King of Yan had agreed to use the power of faith to invite Exalted Celestial Zi Xia to the lower realm, the officials relaxed and were overjoyed. As long as Exalted Celestial Zi Xia was willing to subdue the enemy, with her Immortal Emperor cultivation, even ten Exalted Celestial Zi Xia would not be her match, let alone one Lin Fan!
At this moment, the official who had made the suggestion said, "Your Majesty, I have another idea. Is there a 70% chance that Exalted Celestial Zi Xia will come to the lower realm?"
"Oh, what idea do you have? Tell me quickly." The King of Yan's eyes lit up as he stared at the official.
"Exalted Celestial Zi Xia's hometown is Jingzhou. Jingzhou is near the border between the Yan Kingdom and the Yellow Dragon Empire. If Lin Fan attacks Jingzhou first and Exalted Celestial Zi Xia sees it, she will definitely not be able to bear to see her hometown in danger …"
"Brilliant, this is a brilliant plan!"
Before he could finish speaking, the officials were all praising him. The King of Yan stroked his beard and nodded. He smiled and said, "Yes, not bad. Let's follow this plan."
"Although Jingzhou is near the border between the two countries, it is still a small place. Lin Fan will not attack Jingzhou …" Someone shook his head and said.
"What's so difficult about this?
Jingzhou is under the jurisdiction of the Marquis of Dong Bo. Your Majesty can order the Marquis to take the initiative to curse Lin Fan or attack the enemy troops to lure Lin Fan to attack Jingzhou. No matter how smart Lin Fan is, he will not be able to think of such a plan. With his personality, he will definitely destroy Jingzhou first … "
"Yes, that makes sense!"
The King of Yan clapped his hands and praised. "Let's follow this plan. Do not leak any information. If anyone leaks any information, their entire family will be exterminated!"
"Yes!" The officials replied.
…
That night.
Lin Fan led his troops into the Yan Kingdom. He found the territory of a Yan Kingdom's Prince at the border. The bugle horn was blown, and the siege began.
The Yan Kingdom was weak and could not compare to the Yue Kingdom.
The Prince's territory was breached by Lin Fan's army in an instant.
The Prince's residence was controlled.
Lin Fan captured the Prince and forced him to hand over all the gold coins in his residence.
The Prince was tactful. He was willing to part with his wealth to save his life.
He handed over all the gold coins.
Lin Fan took the gold coins and led his troops out of the Prince's territory.
When he was deep into the Yan Kingdom, he saw a troop of 100,000 people coming towards him. However, they did not come forward to fight. Instead, they shouted and cursed from afar.
"Lin Fan, you unscrupulous thief. You will die a horrible death!"
"Lin Fan, you have violated the law and humiliated the country.
You should be killed a thousand times! "
"Lin Fan, you bully men and women. You are worse than a beast. You will definitely go to hell after you die!"
…
A hundred thousand people were shouting and cursing. Their curses shook the sky and were unbearable to the ears.
Lin Fan scanned with his divine sense and found that this was a very ordinary army. Their individual strength was around the realm of True Essence. They were weak and the leader of the team.
However, they were in the realm of Nascent Soul.
Such a team was like cannon fodder in front of Lin Fan's army.
Logically speaking, they would not dare to take the initiative to provoke him.
Lin Fan felt that it was very strange. However, when he saw the other party shouting at him by name, he was furious. He mobilized ten thousand Spirit Ring Arrays to attack them.
Unexpectedly, just as the Spirit Ring Arrays were activated, the team retreated, cursing as they retreated.
"Lin Fan, the other party is luring us.
Don't be fooled! "Leng Qingqiu reminded.
"The Yan Kingdom's strength has declined. The Yan King is only at the Immortal Realm.
His strength is not as good as Madam Gou Yi's. Why should we be afraid of him! "The Heavenly Demon said," Moreover, it is just a cannon fodder team in front of us.
Since they dare to provoke us, we will kill them all!
This will also teach the Yan Kingdom a lesson. "
"En, those who dare to insult me will all die!" Lin Fan said, "Pass down the order. The whole army will attack!
Destroy this team. "
After the order was given, the million strong army moved and fiercely crushed the team.
The leader of the team was Dong Bo Hou. After receiving the order from the Yan King, Dong Bo Hou personally led the army to lure the enemy. Unexpectedly, the plan could not keep up with the changes. Before he could lead Lin Fan's army into the Jing State, he was mercilessly crushed by Lin Fan's army.
Hong hong hong hong …
A few million strong army rushed forward. After a series of killing, Dong Bo Hou's hundred thousand team was completely annihilated. Under the night sky.
Corpses fell on the ground and a huge rain of blood fell.
Dong Bo Hou relied on his Nascent Soul realm cultivation to resist and escape towards the Jing State.
Lin Fan chased after him and took out his immortal sword. He wanted to test the power of the sword embryo sword spirit on Dong Bo Hou.
Dong Bo Hou was at the Eight Symbols Realm. Seeing Lin Fan chasing after him, he immediately released the elephant-shaped beasts in his body. Eight wild pythons let out a terrifying hissing sound and bit towards Lin Fan. Lin Fan released the seven lightning deity elephants in his body to defend against them.
Hong hong hong hong …
Although Lin Fan's lightning deity elephants had one less than the wild pythons, under the attacks of the lightning deity elephants, those wild pythons could not withstand a single blow and were all destroyed.
Dong Bo Hou knew that Lin Fan was powerful, but he did not expect him to be this powerful. With just his Qi Refinement realm cultivation, he could actually suppress him. Under fear, he fled for his life.
Lin Fan's figure flashed and appeared in front of Dong Bo Hou, slashing out with his sword.
Seeing this, Dong Bo Hou panicked and took out his immortal sword to defend.
Within the immortal sword, there was a sharp and clear cry of a newborn baby. Within the sword light, a fetus' shadow flashed and crashed into Dong Bo Hou's immortal sword.
Kacha!
At the moment when the two swords collided, Dong Bo Hou's immortal sword directly broke apart.
"What?
Sword, sword spirit …?? "Dong Bo Hou stared at the immortal sword in Lin Fan's hand with fear.
"That's right!" Lin Fan sneered and slashed out a second time.
Shua!
Dong Bo Hou's head was directly chopped off.
Blood spurted out from the body cavity like a fountain.
The blood dyed the sword and was quickly absorbed into it.
Seeing the sword spirit absorb Dong Bo Hou's blood, Lin Fan could not help but be startled. Mn?
Could it be that the sword spirit can not only absorb my blood, but also other people's blood? If that's the case, I should kill more enemies in the future so that I don't have to waste my blood essence!
Just as Lin Fan was having such thoughts, a team of a million people came over. This team was the same as Dong Bo Hou's team. Before they even got close, they were already cursing and swearing. Their curses were earth-shattering and unbearable to the ears.
This team was a chess piece set up by Yan King. He was afraid that Dong Bo Hou would not be able to lure the enemy deep into Jing Province.
Of course, if this team was exterminated, there would be another team coming up to curse. In short, no matter the cost, they had to lure Lin Fan's army into Jing Province.
"Lin Fan, the enemy is playing tricks and luring us.
Don't be fooled! "Leng Qingqiu reminded him again.
The Sky Demon also saw that the enemy was playing tricks and said, "Mn, there are signs of this. But we can't just let them curse, right?"
"Activate the one hundred ten thousand position Spiritual Ring Arrays and kill them. The rest of the team, wait for orders." Lin Fan suppressed the anger in his heart and gave the order.
Boom!
The one hundred ten thousand position Spiritual Ring Arrays were activated and rushed towards the cursing enemy, killing them mercilessly.
The enemy retreated as they fought.
They lured Lin Fan's army towards Jing Province.
They chased them all the way.
Finally, after half of the Yan army had been killed, they lured Lin Fan's one hundred ten thousand position Spiritual Ring Arrays into Jing Province.
The Yan army stationed in Jing Province moved out in full force and surrounded the one hundred ten thousand position Spiritual Ring Arrays.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle in the air above Jing Province.
At this moment …
Throughout the Yan Kingdom, every family burned incense and prayed.
Incense floated in the air, and the sound of prayers was as dense as insects.
In front of the sacrificial altar in the imperial palace of Yanhaven, officials dressed in official robes stood solemnly, burning incense and praying together.
Yan King, dressed in a dragon robe, stood in front of the altar, holding a strange little flag in each hand. He waved it repeatedly and recited an incantation. As he waved the flags, the incense from all over the Yan Kingdom lit up. Waves of power of will were generated and floated towards Yanhaven, converging on the altar in front of Yan King.
The mighty Power of Will from all directions poured into the altar like a gust of wind.
Then, it condensed into a strange gray light that shot up into the sky and into the Blue Sky Realm.
In an immortal's cave abode …
Auspicious vapors and immortal energy filled the air.
Two immortal cranes, each holding an immortal plant in their beaks, flew into an immortal's cave abode. It was extremely spacious and luxurious, almost like a palace. The name of the abode was Violetglow.
Inside the Violetglow Immortal's Cave Abode …
A beautiful immortal sat cross-legged on the ground. Her long hair cascaded down to the ground like a waterfall, and her white robes fluttered in the wind. She was so beautiful that words couldn't even begin to describe her beauty. In fact, any adjectives would pale in comparison.
She could only be referred to as' immortal '.
Her eyes were closed, and she was doing breathing exercises. Immortal energy swirled around her.
She was cultivating.
The immortal cranes flew into the immortal's cave abode, then placed the immortal plant in their beaks on the ground in front of the immortal.
The immortal opened her palms and pressed them down. Instantly, a misty cloud of energy enveloped the immortal plant.
The Immortal Grass was enveloped by the ball of Qi and turned into a purple color, as if it was burning. A dense Immortal Qi rose from the Immortal Grass and entered the fairy's hands. It followed her arms and entered her body, all the way to the depths of her dantian.
The immortal retracted her hands and exhaled deeply. She opened her eyes, and a glint flashed in her eyes.
Suddenly …
A jade wall hanging on the wall of the cave abode began to vibrate.
The jade wall was square like a LCD TV. As the jade wall vibrated, a cloud of smoke rose from it. Then, the jade wall lit up like a TV and showed an image.
In the image, two armies were facing each other. It was a scene of slaughter. Sabers flashed and swords flashed, and a rain of blood filled the air.
One side was using the flag of the Yellow Dragon Empire, while the other side was using the flag of the Yan Kingdom.
The Yan Kingdom's army of millions was no match for the Yellow Dragon Empire's army of millions.
The Yan Kingdom's army was forced to retreat, and there were countless casualties.
Where the two sides were fighting.
It was the territory of the Yan Kingdom's Jing Province.
She saw that her homeland on the mainland was being invaded by foreign enemies and was about to be conquered by the Yellow Dragon Empire.
The immortal's expression changed slightly. She could not bear to see it, and she was filled with grief and indignation.
The immortal's hand touched the jade wall. The jade wall glowed, and the image changed to the Yan Kingdom's imperial palace. The immortal's hand touched the wall, and the image froze on the altar.
Around the altar, the officials and the King of Yan entered the image.
The King of Yan had already removed the small flag in his hand. He held an incense stick with both hands and raised it high above his head, as if he was holding up the sky.
"The Yan Kingdom is being invaded by foreign enemies. The kingdom is about to be destroyed. Fairy Zi Xia, please go down to the lower realm and repel the enemy …"
When the immortal saw this, she wiped her hand and turned off the image on the jade wall.
She frowned, and her face was solemn.
She thought to herself.
She hesitated, and she was tormented …
After a while, she wiped her hand on the jade wall again.
Light flowed, and the jade wall lit up again. An image appeared on the jade wall.
It was still the territory of Jing Province. However, the flag on Jing Province's city wall had changed. It had changed from the original "Yan" flag to a "Dragon" flag.
This symbolized that Jing Province had been occupied by the Yellow Dragon Empire's army.
The immortal's hand touched the jade wall, and light flowed.
Lin Fan appeared in the image.
Lin Fan was escorted by two women and a group of bodyguards, walking with a majestic gait.
He stepped into the main hall of the Dong Bo Marquis's residence and sat on the throne.
The immortal's eyes focused on Lin Fan. She said with slight disdain, "The leader of the Yellow Dragon Empire's army is only at the realm level. It's not enough to destroy the entire Yan Kingdom!
This King of Yan is making a mountain out of a molehill! "
After murmuring, the immortal waved her hand and turned off the jade wall.
…
The continent.
Jing Province.
The Dong Bo Marquis's residence.
"Lin Fan, let's leave this place quickly. I have a feeling that Jing Province is a trap," Leng Qingqiu said.
The Heavenly Demon said, "It's not difficult to see that the enemy is playing tricks on us. However, now that we've conquered Jing Province, we found that it's not a dragon's den or a tiger's den. How can it be a trap?
Besides, our goal is to annex the Yan Kingdom. Even if it's a dragon's den or a tiger's den, we still have to go … "
Lin Fan nodded. "Yes, it's already past midnight. It won't be long before dawn. Let's rest here for the night. Tomorrow morning, we'll set off for Yan Kingdom. We'll go straight to the source of the problem!"
…
