Cultivation Goddess
Chapter 346. Begin Preparation
Emperor Ning came home with a bright face. He felt very confident that his army from the underworld would continue to grow given the lure given by him.
Before this he had managed to conquer many opponents thanks to their help. Emperor Ning thought that success could be repeated.
Not wanting to linger, he also changed his form into a fire dragon and shot up in height.
From the ground he looked like a flash of red light that flashed swiftly. The light moved like a long unbroken light and had an end that disappeared after being passed far away.
They followed the direction of the red light that led to the palace of the Empire of the Eastern Continent and argued that it was a lucky light from a god. They didn't know that Emperor Ning had a form that looked like that light.
In the darkness of the night, Emperor Ning no longer went sneaking out of the palace anymore. His desire to take the human soul had been fulfilled, now he only had to prepare himself to welcome the arrival of Fang Yin.
His arrogance is becoming more and more. Emperor Ning experienced many changes where he was very irritable and offended.
It was not just once that he had punished his personal bodyguard only for a small mistake.
Ning Yao Xi continued to watch over her father secretly and observed the change. Since learning of her father's cruel nature, she tries to protect her mother and family.
It is not impossible for a person who has been possessed by evil nature to torture his own family. In fact Ning Yao Xi had once felt that her real father's hand was strangling her so strongly.
Ning Mu Shen who did not know about the change in her father's attitude looked indifferent and tried to be mediocre. From the beginning she was not very close and felt less affection and attention than her brother.
Long before the war plans took place, Ning Mu Shen was eager to become the heir to the leadership after his father abdicated.
The allies of Emperor Ning now did not dare to do anything. There are no more disagreements like this. Now they can only obey and obey all their commands.
The cruel aura in Emperor Ning's eyes made them feel disdain for him. The strong cultivators were also not struggling like they were exposed to magic.
The Imperial capital of the Eastern Continent had been filled with troops prepared to face Fang Yin. Residents living around the palace shifted to the edge leaving their homes occupied by troops from several states
They had no other choice but to live in the suburbs and hilly region. Opposing the emperor's orders would make them suffer more than just being expelled.
"We don't know when Princess Gu's army will attack but Emperor Ning has already prepared so many troops to protect the palace?" ask one of the city residents who now live in the wild in groups.
"I don't know either. I don't think it'll be long. Some Emissaries of Emperor Ning reported that Princess Gu had no small amount of support."
"It seems I wish Princess Gu would win. If he had a gentle and wise nature like his father then this land would prosper."
"Hush! Be quiet! If Emperor Ning's army members hear then we'll all die."
The residents who were discussing nodded then fell silent for a while. They returned to chat on different topics and did not discuss anymore about the war.
One of them had a proposal to move further away from the region. They wanted to bring their families who could have been victims of the ferocious war.
Some agreed and some refused. They eventually split into two opposing camps.
Residents who agreed to go away from the palace more than residents who stayed. They brought all their family members with their valuables.
Win or lose, war will still bring suffering and casualties. If it can be avoided, as much as possible will definitely be avoided. However, for this war it felt impossible.
Emperor Ning could not possibly give up and restore his power easily to Fang Yin. Likewise with Fang Yin who certainly wants to take revenge and restore his good name that has been insulted.
Although there were many pros and cons about the validity of her status as Emperor Gu's biological daughter or not, she would still struggle to clear all of it.
This is no longer just his name, but also his mother's good name.
Back to the Silver Mountain,
Patriarch Shi led the chosen army of the ice tribe to be dispatched towards the agreed place to gather together the entire army.
"Before we leave, I welcome anyone who wants to step down. In a war we cannot predict victory. Nor can we hang fate on luck. If you're not sure, you better stop and stay."
Patriarch Shi spoke to his troops asking them to consider their options.
