As soon as Zhang Xing entered the territory of the Wan Wu Kingdom, he immediately sensed a tense atmosphere.
There were no signs of him in the major towns, which comforted him a little.
There was another reason why he took so long to come back. He wanted to see what the leaders of the Wan Wu Kingdom would choose.
Now it seemed that the emperor, the patriarchs of the major families, and the leaders of the major guilds were still somewhat humane.
"Lord Zhang, His Majesty is here to see you!"
The highest-ranking officer of the palace guards, who had been waiting at the city gate for a day, hurriedly greeted him.
Zhang Xing nodded and followed the guard captain to the palace.
Pratt and the others, who had returned a day earlier, came out to greet him.
"Haha!
Lord Zhang, you came back so quickly. Yesterday, we were talking about you with all the officials. His Majesty and us old fellows were very worried about your safety! "
Pratt laughed heartily and told Zhang Xing about the current state of affairs.
Zhang Xing smiled slightly to show that he understood.
Everyone came to the emperor's imperial study. After greeting each other, they all sat down.
"Zhang Xing, I believe you already know that the Niucor Empire is scheming against you behind your back. They want to isolate you and sow discord between us. But His Majesty is determined to support you, and we will not compromise!"
Pratt directly stated their attitude.
The situation had reached a critical moment, and there was no time to chat. It was up to Zhang Xing to choose.
He believed that he would be able to clearly recognize the current situation and not make a hasty decision to start a war immediately.
Because time was too short, the Empire needed at least a year to mobilize troops and supplies.
If they fought with the Niucor Empire's coalition army now, they would definitely lose.
The Niucor Empire's coalition army had been stationed at the border for more than half a year. They had sufficient troops and supplies. It was clear that their ambitions were as wild as wolves!
"Thank you, Your Majesty and everyone for your support. Since they want to use this as an excuse to start a war, then let's fight. However, I killed the ancestor of Emperor Gebre of the Niucor Empire, so I have a deep hatred for him. Let me make the first move.
It's a matter of time, "Zhang Xing said calmly.
"What?
You really killed Gebre's ancestor? "
Emperor Peters was shocked.
The other Patriarchs and Guild Leaders were similarly shocked.
Zhang Xing nodded. "Do you think that Gebre is trying to slander me behind my back?"
"That's what I thought. Could it be that after we left, the Saint Emperor of the Niko Empire appeared?"
Sprouse was puzzled.
"Exactly. That old bastard has already advanced into the initial-stage of the Exalt Realm. I almost died at his hands."
Zhang Xing said casually.
"You … you killed an Exalt Realm expert?"
Even Pratt, who had always been as calm as a mountain, was so shocked that he began to stutter.
Wan Wuguo did not receive the complete magic video from Gebre, only a short clip of Zhang Xing commanding a few dragons to kill people.
Of course, Gebre wasn't that stupid. He wouldn't announce Zhang Xing's strength to outsiders to diminish his own prestige.
If the world knew that the old ancestor of the Niucor Empire had died at the hands of Zhang Xing, the other third-tier countries wouldn't be so willing to submit to him.
"Yes!"
Zhang Xing nodded and did not explain further.
When he heard this suffocating news, Patriarch Feta of the third Patriarch's face instantly darkened. He lowered his head and his eyes flickered.
He had to find a way to contact Faye and tell him this important news. He couldn't be careless when it came to revenge!
