In the living room, a few people took their seats.
Zhao Huai and the Princess of Shenluo sat facing each other, pondering each other’s intentions.
The other party was examining him.
Is this the Crown Prince of Yan Country?
Younger than imagined, much more handsome.
The steady quality he exudes outperforms many men she has met.
Having seen Zhao Huai, Princess Luo Ya of Shenluo couldn’t help thinking this. Then she smiled gracefully and spoke in barely passable Central Plains language, saying:
“The reason Shenluo Country came this time is to seek cooperation with Yan Country. I see that Yan Country has been in a standoff with Xia Country in the north for a year, and neither can do anything to each other. Shenluo believes that Yan Country is the legitimate successor of the Central State Country.
Tracing back, Shenluo benefited greatly from Yan Country a hundred years ago and regarded it as the Sect Master. Therefore, seeing the unkindness of Xia, we want to help Yan unify Central State.”
Zhao Huai raised his eyebrow curiously, saying: “Oh? How does Shenluo plan to assist Yan?”
An honest man doesn’t speak secretively, so he asked straightforwardly.
Seeing that the prince did not resist, Princess Luo Ya of Shenluo knew that her mission had already half succeeded and started to explain with a smile:
“Ever since the Northern Wolf Empire occupied the Ten States of the North, Xia’s Western Edge has always been very weak. If Yan and Xia go to war, Yan will take the front, and Shenluo will keep them in check from the side. With the help of our brave Shenluo soldiers, Xia will inevitably be defeated. At that time, we can join forces, and how can the Empress of Xia resist?”
After listening to the princess’s words, Zhao Huai muttered to himself, “As expected”.
His guess was indeed correct.
The reason Shenluo is willing to ally with Yan is that they have set their sights on the territory of Xia’s Western Edge.
Clearly, there is no benefit to be gained from rising early.
If there wasn’t a tremendous advantage, Shenluo probably wouldn’t send troops. They have very broad ambitions and undoubtedly aimed at Central State.
They plan to intervene in Central State’s territory through this war.
The opponent’s words sound pleasant, battling Xia together, and being able to divide the territory, but how can he guarantee that the opponent won’t play tricks?
If it becomes a situation where Yan is fighting head-on, and the Shenluo is profiting at the side, won’t that be a huge injustice>. This is indeed something worth considering.
It’s too soon to make a judgment.
In his view, Shenluo’s alliance is a minor matter, and seizing territory is the primary objective.
They came prepared from a long distance and likely cannot be easily deterred.
Thinking from another perspective, Yan indeed needs help, and the princess wasn’t wrong about this.
Because now, Yan cannot do anything to Xia, and Xia can’t do anything to Yan as well.
The two are in a delicate balance.
Looking at the advanced cultivation of Wen Xiang Bodhisattva, Zhao Huai also understands that the Western State must have sect forces comparable to the Central State.
This Sorceress Sacred Sect comes from the Western State.
The rumored origin of the Holy Raven Sect also comes from here. Maybe there is some connection between the two?
If they could utilize the power of Shenluo Country, that would be best, but if not, there is no need to insist.
“This matter is of great importance, Princess, allow me a few days to consider it.”
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Huai gave his answer.
“Okay, let me know when Your Highness has given it thorough consideration. Besides, this trip to Yan Country will give us an opportunity to appreciate the
culture and customs of Central State.”
Princess Luo Ya of Shenluo showed her pearly white teeth and smiled softly.
Suddenly, a subordinate outside the living room came in and whispered something into Song Zhishu’s ear.
Song Zhishu immediately looked grave and came before Zhao Huai. Zhao Huai’s eyebrows tightened as he heard Song Zhishu’s message.
“Your Highness, there has been an incident.”
“What happened?”
“There are two pieces of bad news.”
“The first comes from the cultivator of the nearby sect. The Sect Hierarch of the Limitless Immortal Sect, Ancestor Limitless, nicknamed Limitless Taoist priest, has fallen to the thunder tribulation…’
Upon hearing this news, Zhao Huai’s pupils contracted, and he immediately turned his head to ask, “Is this true?”
“The news is reliable. Most of the sects know by now, and the Immortal Cultivation World is in shock!”
“Half an hour ago, the disturbance between Heaven and Earth was brought about by the thunder tribulation.”
Zhao Huai, recalling the spiritual qi fluctuation he had observed in the sky earlier, quickly came to a realization. He sighed, “Who would have thought that the shutdown brought about by the severed immortal path would be something even the Mighty could not break through? Are we all supposed to stop here in the future?
Even though he wasn’t close with the Hierarch of the Limitless Immortal Sect, it did not prevent him from understanding the significance of this matter.
The Hierarch of the Limitless Immortal Sect is the only one among the Immortal Sects who could battle the Devil Lord.
If he is dead, won’t the evil ones become even more rampant?
The rule that the sects should not interfere with the Mortal World is based on the premise of the prosperity of the Immortal Sects.
If the strength of the Immortal Sects greatly diminishes, who would follow these rules in the future?
It becomes a worthless edict.
Now that the balance of the Immortal Cultivation World has been broken and the evil people are showing their fangs, they are likely to take advantage of this opportunity to fight the Immortal Sect.
This is undoubtedly a challenge to the momentum and prestige of the Immortal Sects.
It also deals a heavy blow to the peace of the Mortal World maintained by the Immortal Sect for centuries.
As early as a year ago, the people of the Devil Sect had already noticed. Why else would people from the Devil Sect appear so frequently in recent months?
“And the second thing?”
Zhao Huai asked.
“A spy from inside Xia’s territory brought news. The various states and counties of Xia have begun to mobilize the army. The movement of army provisions has also become a little more frequent, it seems like they want to start a war.”
Song Zhishu said seriously.
“Xia…”
Zhao Huai took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.
He didn’t go looking for trouble with Xia, but they took the initiative to come to
him..
