Dance Of The Phoenix
104. New Storm (1)

Tianshuang Palace on the verge of crisis would be the arrival of the Linghun Hall so suddenly. Coupled with the presence of the masked man, they were not at all the opponent of that person despite already gathering strength.

Over the years, they had gathered many elites and managed to become the strongest palace. However, who would have thought the silence of the Linghun Hall this time was to prepare for greater things.

Bai Youzhe was not around, making them have to call the previous King Bai to come replace the temporary leadership. However, during the wait for King Bai Tianzhi's arrival, the elders were busy with the first defense in Tianlong City.

At an important meeting in the main hall—where the king's seat in the center is still empty—all the higher-ups as well as the elders gathered. Jin Xiao who was still in Tianshuang Palace also gathered, as well as Gu Yuena, and Chu Xin as the third commander of the Assassin Guild.

"The attack of Linghun Hall this time was bigger than the attack on Yuansu Palace. There were several magicians with tier 9 who led an army together with the leader of the Linghun Hall. Fearfully, this is going to be a tough battle."

"Their former spies must have told us that we were off guard, and then waited for the right time to attack. They've really broken through the city, what should we do?"

"The students have been deployed to evacuate the residents and make defenses in the city center. It can't last long. If the city is destroyed, it will be even more difficult for us to hold them back from coming to the palace territory."

"Elder, some of them had also tried to enter the palace barrier from the direction of the northern mountain. If only, we'd been surrounded from all directions."

Elder Han who became the main elder in Tianshuang Palace was completely dizzy from the various reports from the various parties. The Linghun Hall had already been greatly delayed, even to the point of daring to provoke Tianshuang Palace. They prepared it carefully.

"We don't have much time left. Elder Su, have you already given orders to the outer courtyard disciples for their next preparations?" Elder Han asked Su Churan.

Su Churan nodded. "However, the damage to the main city gate was too severe. Many of the outer courtyard disciples guarding there were severely injured thus lowering the number of disciples participating in the battle. I've asked the alchemists and healers to take control of the conditions, as well as sent out some monsters to guard around the city."

Jin Xiao said, "The elders, as allies, I can summon more alchemists from Luye Palace. We also have a lot of battle elites, maybe it can help you deal with the crisis."

"It would be better if you return to Luye Palace. In this time of crisis, life is more important. For your help earlier, we thank you, but Tianshuang Palace does not want to involve other palaces in this matter." Elder Han felt somewhat guilty towards Jin Xiao. The woman had come a long way, but was faced with a war.

Elder Ming said, "The palace troops will not last too long under the assault of so many death squads. This was too sudden, there was no somberness for the disciples to do just that. Supposedly, there was someone who could handle the death squad and face the leader of the Linghun Hall at once. The problem is with the masked man."

Elder Ming glanced at Gu Yuena who had only been listening since earlier. It was clear what was in his small brain. Everyone understands that too.

"Gu Yuena, can't you handle hundreds of death squads at once at an inter-palace meeting? In this place, only you have ever fought directly with them, especially the leader of the Linghun Hall."

So Elder Ming was encouraging Gu Yuena to advance to the frontlines and fight the masked man head-on. He really intended to get rid of Gu Yuena by utilizing the assault.

Su Churan looked wrathful and immediately stood up angrily. "Who would you dare to make such a request? You are no longer the Ming Elder who has the right to control the situation as a leader."

"I only give the best advice. Gu Yuena is the future Queen candidate, of course it should have a contribution in place of Her Majesty. Moreover, Gu Yuena was the Princess of Linghun Palace, that person would not kill her." Elder Ming spoke like an insinuating person.

"Then, what people who have lost military rights have the right to say about contributions? Everyone knew that Gu Yuena was close to death when she last fought with him. If you want to contribute, you better go to the front line. Don't tell people to be willing."

Elder Ming grieved that Su Churan was going all-out to defend Gu Yuena. "I only say based on what I know. Even Gu Yuena herself did not deny it, but Elder Su instead gave an answer unilaterally. That's not appropriate."

Su Churan was so furious that she wanted to tear the old man apart as soon as possible. But his arm was held back by Chu Xin who was standing beside him.

After all, that person was still an elder. Su Churan did not deserve to speak in a high tone in front of the older person.

"It seems like what Elder Ming said made sense. Gu Yuena did not have to kill him, only needed to buy time until the previous King Bai came. If that person did something to Gu Yuena to the point of threatening his life, it would definitely get anger from the palace." The other elder agreed to Elder Ming's thought.

The others began to nod. Su Churan was getting angrier looking at him until he really wanted to explode!

"I don't think there's any other way. Gu Yuena must have recovered too, right?"

"If only to restrain the leader of the Linghun Hall, I will agree. Gu Yuena will not be alone, we will unite against her."

"You ...." Su Churan knew better than anything. That person's strength ..Even Bai Youzhe had to go to great lengths to kill him. Do they not understand what is really happening?

Su Churan looked at Gu Yuena with anxious feelings. Gu Yuena could not advance in battle.

"Xiao Yuena, you don't have to go forward based on their wishes. It's entrapment. I'll help you talk to them." Su Churan looked at Elder Han who was just silent. "Chairman Han, Gu Yuena really can't fight. Dia—"

"Don't you just fight?" Gu Yuena interrupted Su Churan's words that wanted to reveal her pregnancy. He looked at the woman meaningfully, then looked at the elders present. "I happen to have not stretched this stiff body for a long time."

"Jiao Yukina ...." Su Churan did not know what to do. He wanted to cry, then pulled Gu Yuena who liked the mess away from this creepy place.

"Mrs, you can't do it. Too dangerous." Chu Xin looked extremely surprised. What if something happens? Gu Yuena's current strength was not at its peak.

Gu Yuena just put on a smile. A forced smile, before finally looking towards Elder Ming who looked extremely satisfied.

Can he kill that man now?

On one side of the father, on the other. The two-man family made Gu Yuena very fed up and feel itchy.

In the end, the decision was made.

Gu Yuena would be at the forefront against the masked man, once again.

They immediately discussed the planned expenditure of the troops and the strategy to be carried out.

Although the plan had been made as mature as possible, Gu Yuena remained unsettled.

After that chaotic encounter, Gu Yuena returned to the room and dropped her body onto the bed. He took a long breath.

It's heavy today. Did he really have to go into battle?

If it only dealt with death squads, it would be no problem at all. But what about the masked man? In the end, inevitably Gu Yuena still had to fight him despite not being appointed to advance to the front line.

Tianshuang Palace was chaotic without a leader. The king's seat was empty because the other party was outside the world, while the previous king had no news. Completely fucked.

In everyone's eyes, Gu Yuena was a hostage. Although Gu Yuena knew what to do to stop them, no one would listen. Masked men also cannot be handled easily.

He could feel an aura of panic from everyone that made him very agitated.

Tianshuang Palace is strong. But without leaders, as powerful as they are, they will still get lost. Gu Yuena who was in Tianshuang Palace was unwilling to get involved and could not dodge.

It touches his stomach, giving a gentle swab to interact with the little one. "Don't be afraid, I'll protect you."

He still can't tell everyone in this time of crisis. It would be bad for the entire palace and add to the panic. If that happened, Gu Yuena herself could do nothing.

However, she would also not allow anyone to hurt her baby. He believed that he was strong enough. Even so, he remained worried.

What if he fails?

"Youzhe, hurry back." He looked at the ceiling with a shady look. His mind was so messed up that he didn't know what to do.

He was afraid, but could not show it.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

After a long time, the border was repaired. There were very many letters coming like meteor falls from the Mitian Plains that were directed at the majestic palace in the center of the region and received by the gatekeepers.

Only one letter escaped the gatekeeper. A letter that flew by itself into a quiet room in the depths of the palace. The letter came just like that, falling into someone's hands before the seal of the letter in the form of red magic opened.

The owner of the pair of blue irises that night smiled as he read the letter he had just received. The black inked writing that he was very familiar with, accompanied by pictures of cats and wolves that made him remember memories several years ago.

Although it was not written who sent it, he already knew who sent the short message. So short that there is only one short paragraph. That alone can make him very happy.

However, his attention was focused on the one word 'we' written there.

"We miss you."

What was it that Gu Yuena wrote it when she was not alone?

"Your Majesty." Bao Jun had come to report the important matter of the Mitian Plains. His face seemed rushed.

Bai Youzhe looked towards Bao Jun. "Is there something urgent?"

"There is good and bad news. Your Majesty wants to hear which one?" Bao Jun could not report everything in unison because it was too random. He could only separate it that way.

Bai Youzhe's gaze looked like "don't mess with me" making Bao Jun have to give her a reason.

"The good news is about Miss Gu, while the bad news is about the entirety of Tianshuang Palace."

"Then the good news first." Bai Youzhe sidelined the palace to hear what Gu Yuena had been doing all this time.

Bao Jun had already guessed it.

"Based on Chu Xin and Su Churan's reports over the past 5 months based on the time on the Mitian Plains, both of them gave reports at different times regarding Miss Gu's situation."

"Don't beat around the bush." Bai Youzhe did not want to hear too much nonsense.

Bao Jun gulped down the saliva. "Miss Gu .. is pregnant. It's almost 6 months old."

Bai Youzhe was silent. His previously busy gaze looking through the letter Gu Yuena gave was now directed at Bao Jun with a serious look.

"Don't joke." Usually Bao Jun would often joke around to disturb him indirectly.

Bao Jun smiled wryly. "Your Majesty, how dare I joke at a crucial time like this."

Bai Youzhe was speechless. Gu Yuena .. pregnant?

How could he not know?

It's been 5 months. Doesn't that mean, she left Gu Yuena who was pregnant with her child?

It was only fitting that Gu Yuena's attitude became strange back then. He should have realized sooner.

Suddenly, Bai Youzhe's feelings became complicated. He felt very irresponsible leaving Gu Yuena like that. He must return!

Without saying a word, Bai Youzhe stepped her foot out of the room making Bao Jun tense. Come on, that guy hasn't heard the bad news, but he's gone?

"Your Majesty, the bad news is still not delivered!" Bao Jun chased after the man like a silly person.

"Say it in person briefly, don't waste time." Bai Youzhe confirmed his words.

"Linghun Hall was carrying out a siege against Tianshuang Palace. Tianlong City was already close to being destroyed. The elders had invited His Highness Bai Tianzhi, but there was no response. Now, they pushed Miss Gu into the battle to face the leader of the Linghun Hall head-on."

Bai Youzhe's face turned dark and cold right then and there. His fists were tightly clenched. Those people, dared to have bad intentions on Gu Yuena. It was obvious Gu Yuena was close to death when facing the clone of the leader of the Linghun Hall. That's just cloning. What if what he was facing right now was the real one?

Bai Youzhe was so angry that the aura around her became dangerous. Even Bao Jun did not dare to say anything let alone look at him.

In just a split second, the man went as fast as lightning in the black fog that shot into the sky.

He had to arrive in time, before anything bad happened to Gu Yuena.

"Nana, wait for me."

On the other hand, the Tianshuang Palace army was already preparing to face thousands of death beasts. In order to deal with the creatures of death, Gu Yuena had the approval not to directly be at the forefront as long as the leader of the Linghun Hall had yet to appear.

The red iris of Gu Yuena looked at the sea of humans from the height of the palace with mixed feelings.

Heart's fidgeting.

Can he do it well?
