The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 682
Chapter 682: No One Expected His Highness’ Brilliance
His spiritual aura and Taoist art were no match for Helian Wei Wei’s…
Zongzheng Wen Ren placed one of his hands on his forehead as he lowered his head, ashamed to lift his gaze.
He could clearly sense the gazes of the onlookers that were fixed on him.
It got increasingly difficult for him to hide his emotions.
He was like a conceited jester who had been boasting in front of the experts, and eventually, become the one to be ridiculed…
The absolute victory caused the palpable excitement to buzz through the changed air!
Zongzheng Yu Er parted her lips, as though she had something to express. However, she merely made an inaudible voice before she was interrupted.
The exorcist who was standing aside spoke, “Princess, please stop arguing. Helian Wei Wei is prettier and stronger than you. She could defeat the Crown Prince, not to mention you. She will definitely be everyone’s preferred candidate. Besides, she is the primary consort who is officially married to the Third Prince. You’ll humiliate yourself if you continue to pick on Helian Wei Wei. ”
Upon listening to the exorcist’s remark, Zongzheng Yu Er’s words died in her throat. “Bai Yue, please remember that you are a citizen of Xuanyuan Kingdom, not the War Dragon Dynasty. Do you even know what you are saying? Who do you think you are speaking to!”
“Of course I know who I am speaking to. Your Highness, you are the princess of Xuanyuan Kingdom. You should have given up when you were rejected the first time. However, due to your shamelessness, you have not only humiliated yourself but also the people of the Xuanyuan Dynasty.” Exorcists in the Xuanyuan Kingdom had always had high reputation. The more powerful the exorcist was, the more arrogant he or she would be, and Bai Yue was a perfect example.
Zongzheng Yu Er never thought that she would be reprimanded by people of her own nation. She opened her mouth, but no word escaped her throat.
She was surrounded by exorcists from the other countries. They were staring at her with eyes full of apparent disdain, as though she was unworthy of her title as a princess!
Zongzheng Yu Er’s face was flushed red as if her heart had been scalded by boiling water. She had never been publicly embarrassed before.
Zongzheng Yu Er looked at Huangzi Nation’s messenger expectantly, hoping that he could support her.
However, after he witnessed the commotion, realizing how the exorcists of Xuanyuan Kingdom despised their princess, Lord Wang was unable to argue with them.
He was looking at the big picture.
Since the War Dragon Dynasty had won the competition, their plans to besiege the city had become obsolete.
It would be a better option for them to withdraw themselves immediately and leave the Capital tomorrow.
Then, the Third Prince would probably not do anything to them.
After all, no country would attack visiting envoys violently.
As long as they did not continue to provoke the Third Prince, they would be fine.
This was why Lord Wang agreed to the proposal to lay siege to the Capital.
At worst, they would simply lose the competition.
Little did they know that the war had only started!
At that moment, Nangong Lie, in a worship robe, entered the Great Hall. He scanned the hall with his alluring eyes, and eventually locked gaze with Baili Jia Jue. He wore a grin as he said, “It seems like you are almost done here. I am done with my side too. The tasks you assigned are almost completed. I reckon that we will get the result real soon.”
Baili Jia Jue replied with a silent yet nonchalant nod.
Someone as intelligent as Helian Wei Wei immediately understood that they were plotting something.
Is His Highness up to something again?
The exorcists did not understand the meaning behind Nangong Lie’s words.
However, they were puzzled by his overdue arrival.
After all, if a worship administrator was present on scene, they would not have underestimated the War Dragon Dynasty.
Just as Nangong Lie finished his words, three people hurried into the Great Hall.
They were wearing military uniforms of different countries. Their collars were drenched in sweat and their faces were gloomy!
“Your Highness.”
“Lord.”
“Something bad has happened!”
Zongzheng Wen Ren was infuriated when the soldiers knelt before him. “Stand up and tell me what’s wrong!”
The soldiers trembled as they replied, “Xuan City, Xuan City has been blitzed. The King has ordered Your Highness to return immediately to lead the troop!”
“What did you say?” Zongzheng Wen Ren could not believe what he had heard. He rose to his feet as widened his eyes in shock!
Xuan City was the capital of Xuanyuan Kingdom.
It was obvious what Xuanyuan Kingdom’s destiny would be if the Xuan City was attacked!
The soldiers from the other two countries came with the same news. Their Capitals had also been ambushed!
“Who would attack us at this time …” Lord Wang had yet to finish his sentence when he abruptly turned to look at Baili Jia Jue!
“Was it… was it you?”
Baili Jia Jue did not deny. He tossed the son of King of Hell aside, tidied his sleeves casually as he replied, “Yes.”
Did he just reply with a succinct word without any elaboration?
“Your Highness, do you know that we’re alliances and you shouldn’t harm the envoys?” Lord Wang enunciated.
Baili Jia Jue replied with a nonchalant and slightly contemptuous tone, “Of course I know. This is exactly why I didn’t do anything to you. However, you were stupider than I imagined. Your defense at the borders was so pathetically vulnerable.”
Baili Jia Jue was not straightforward but everyone in the room understood the message he was trying to send.
As I can’t hurt you, I will attack your Capital directly. You have to pay for what you’ve done.
Upon hearing this, Lord Wang’s legs turned soft. Baili Jia Jue was certainly a ruthless man!
Initially, they thought that they could defeat this newly-appointed Third Prince after they joined forces as three kingdoms.
However, the event was turned when the Third Prince unexpectedly attacked their Capitals.
While they were distracted by the exorcism contest, the man had sent his troops directly to their Capitals.
No one would have expected such a stratagem from Baili Jia Jue.
He did not know about what happened at the other countries. However, as soon as his King heard about his arrival at the capital alongside the exorcists, he was anticipating a victory and did not station much military forces at the southern border…
Subsequently, a gap was formed in the north and it became a weakness for their opponent to breach the Capital…
Obviously, this man has planned everything since the beginning!
Liu Yu did not understand what was going on.
Unlike Liu Yu, Wu Jing had grasped the entire situation. His eyes beamed in excitement. “Why have I not thought of this? The borders, the borders! These people have been trying to abuse us by bringing all their soldiers to our Capital. Therefore, their defense on a certain area of their borders will definitely be compromised. If we attack now, we can definitely take down their Capitals. His Highness is brilliant! He has turned their tricks into a trap for themselves. What a plan!”
Despite his initial confusion, Liu Yu had now understood the situation owing to Wu Jing’s explanation.
They attempted to compell His Highness into a political marriage, thinking that he would be forced into marrying the princess.
However, they never expected that, in the midst of their glee, His Highness had already conquered their countries…
