Xue Yue Empire, Imperial Palace, Main Hall.
The Emperor was in the middle of a morning assembly. None of the officials had anything important to report.
Just as the Emperor of Xue Yue was about to end the assembly, an urgent report came from outside.
The Emperor of Xue Yue's expression changed slightly as he summoned a messenger.
The messenger came to the main hall and knelt down on both knees. His face was red and his heart was racing. It was obvious that he had been traveling through the night. Perhaps he had not slept for a few days. He was exhausted.
"Your Majesty, bad … bad news!"
The messenger was flustered. To an outsider, this was a disgrace to his image.
One had to know that this messenger was not an ordinary person. He was an important member of the Xue Yue Empire who was in charge of intelligence. He was also a Stage 7 Out of Aperture Realm cultivator.
"What happened?
How could you be so rude in front of me? "
The Emperor of Xue Yue's face darkened. His impression of the messenger had worsened.
"Your Majesty, General Xue Fenghan, he …"
The messenger stammered and looked terrified. One could see the extreme fear in his heart.
"What happened?
Speak quickly. I don't have much patience! "
The Emperor of Xue Yue's face darkened as he released a powerful pressure.
Under the pressure, the messenger's expression changed. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, General Xue Fenghan has died in battle!"
The messenger finally got to the point. The Emperor of Xue Yue's eyes flashed coldly.
"General Fenghan is a Second Grade Marquis of our Xue Yue Empire. How could he die in battle?"
The Emperor of Xue Yue could not believe it. Xue Fenghan's cultivation had reached the Peak of Out of Aperture Realm!
In the Xue Yue Empire, a Peak of Out of Aperture Realm was not considered the top. But in the Purple Sea Empire, who could kill Xue Fenghan?
"Who?
Who killed General Fenghan? "
The Emperor of Xue Yue was furious. General Xue Fenghan was talented. Not only was he outstanding in martial arts, but he was also very good at leading troops in battle.
In the Xue Yue Empire, Xue Fenghan was the youngest Second Grade Marquis!
As a Second Grade Marquis, Xue Fenghan was valued by the Emperor of Xue Yue.
Now that the Emperor of Xue Yue heard the news of Fenghan's death, he was furious!
"Your Majesty, it was Ye Qing from the Purple Sea Empire! He killed General Xue Fenghan and a thousand Elite Soldiers!"
The messenger told him everything that had happened in the Purple Sea Empire.
After he received the news, he sped up and arrived at the palace to report to Emperor Xue Yue.
The death of a second-grade military marquis was a huge matter, enough to incur the wrath of the Xue Yue Emperor.
Xue Yue Empire's Rank 2 Military Marquis was a Rank 2 Military Marquis and had a very high status!
"Purple Sea Empire, it's actually the Purple Sea Empire!"
Whispered the Emperor of Xue Yue. Immediately after, an ominous glint flashed in his eyes and he said in a low voice: "Feng Han, Feng Han, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you go to the Purple Sea Empire!"
Emperor Xue Yue let out a long sigh. Clearly, he valued Xue Feng Han a lot.
With Xue Fenghan's ability and his contributions in the military, it would only take a few years for him to become a First Grade Marquis and become one of the pillars of the Imperial Court.
"My beloved subjects, who will go and destroy the Purple Sea Empire for me?
I want the Purple Sea Empire to be burned to the ground! "
Emperor Xue Yue stepped out and walked down from the dragon throne. His deep eyes scanned the crowd.
Among the civil and military officials present, there were many powerhouses. Among them, there were even people of the Fate Wheel Realm!
In fact, not only were the generals powerful, the civil officials of the Xue Yue Empire were not to be underestimated either!
In the Xuanhuan World, strength was everything. If one wasn't strong enough, he wouldn't even be qualified to become a civil official, let alone stand in the Imperial Court.
The civil and military officials were all shocked. In their minds, the Purple Sea Empire was just a small place. How could there be a powerhouse who could kill Xue Fenghan?
This was unbelievable!
With Xue Fenghan's strength, he was invincible among those of the Out of Body Realm. Could it be that there was a Fate Wheel Realm powerhouse hidden in the Purple Sea Empire?
Among the civil and military officials, a general with a pair of maces in his hands stepped out. He looked ferocious and murderous!
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go and destroy the Purple Sea Empire to avenge General Feng Han!"
The martial general wielding two truncheons had a vigorous aura, giving off an extremely dangerous feeling.
His name was Xue ManTian and he was a peerless genius of the Xue Yue Empire. He was one of the Xue Yue's Seven Talents!
The Seven Talents of the Xue Yue Empire were the seven most outstanding talents of the Xue Yue Empire.
Xue ManTian was young but he was already a First Grade Marquis in the Xue Yue Empire. He was ranked seventh among the Seven Talents of the Xue Yue Empire.
The pair of Fire Mother Maces in his hands was a treasure among the Upper Grade Relics. They were even more powerful than Xue Fenghan's Golden Halberd!
Xue ManTian and Xue Fenghan were good friends. They had gone through life and death together.
Xue Fenghan used to be Xue ManTian's lieutenant and had fought alongside him for many years.
Hearing the news of Xue Fenghan's death, Xue ManTian was furious. Therefore, when the Xue Yue Empire asked who was willing to go to the Purple Sea Empire, Xue ManTian was the first to step out.
"General ManTian, I am very happy that you are willing to share my burden!"
The Emperor of the Xue Yue Empire was delighted. Xue ManTian, a First Grade Marquis, was definitely a rare talent. He was only 30 years old and had already reached the Fate Wheel Realm!
The so-called Fate Wheel was to condense the elemental energy in the body and forge the Spirit Palace into a Fate Wheel to further enhance the quality of the elemental energy.
In addition, when the Fate Wheel was successfully forged, one's lifespan would be greatly increased.
Forging a Fate Wheel could extend one's lifespan by at least 1,000 years.
A warrior's cultivation was going against the natural order. The length of his lifespan was especially important.
The power of the Fate Wheel Realm was far greater than that of the Out of Body Realm.
Xue ManTian had taken a crucial step. He had broken through the shackles of the Out of Body Realm and successfully forged half of a Fate Wheel!
Even though he had not reached the Fate Wheel Realm, Xue ManTian's strength was terrifying enough.
Even in the Xue Yue Empire, a superior empire, there were very few warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will destroy the Purple Sea Empire and bring Ye Qing's head to you!"
Xue ManTian said in a deep voice. Killing intent flickered in his eyes as he clenched the Flame Mother-Child Mace in his hand!
"Good, Minister ManTian, you will lead 30,000 elite soldiers to the Purple Sea Empire. I will see you off in person!"
The Emperor of the Xue Yue Empire waved his hand and passed down the order.
The 30,000 elite soldiers of the Xue Yue Empire were definitely a steel lion. They were well-equipped, had high cultivation and were well-trained!
Every soldier's cultivation was above the sixth level of the Out of Body Realm. They had been on the battlefield for a long time and each of them had at least one Low Grade Relic.
With 30,000 elite soldiers working together, it would be a piece of cake for them to destroy an intermediate empire.
In terms of the number of soldiers, the Purple Sea Empire definitely had more soldiers. However, in terms of the quality of the soldiers, the Purple Sea Empire was at a complete disadvantage and would be crushed to pieces.
The gap between an intermediate empire and a superior empire was like a natural chasm that could not be easily closed!
Xue ManTian bowed and accepted the order. Even if Ye Qing of the Purple Sea Empire had three heads and six arms, Xue ManTian was confident that he would be able to kill him with 30,000 elite soldiers!
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will not let you down!"
Xue ManTian's vigorous voice echoed in the hall.
