The atmosphere of the trial hall of the Han imperial palace seemed tense, the officials and ministers as well as the generals were waiting for Emperor Xiao Chen to speak uneasily.
"Okay, we'll start the meeting. For that let's hear the news that senior Suqian brought, please senior!".
Suqian stood up from his chair and headed to a special place for those usually occupied by imperial criminals such as officials and ministers but this time occupied by Suqian, who was the only one in the country, although she was sitting on the hot seat but Suqian looked calm as she was supported by Tang Yue as the mistress being served (don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, the point is served yes because indeed he and the members of the Association are subordinates of Suja all so yes it is natural that they serve his mother Suja well).
"As you read from the letter the Emperor sent, right now the situation is very unfavorable for the Han empire because the black-flow alliance has moved and from what I can they plan to attack the Han empire.
The number of their own troops could be ascertained to be no less than one million troops even there might still be others not to mention their enslaved Wei imperial troops, of their own the temporarily known number was only one million main troops consisting of the Three Colors Flag army, Black Tiger Sect, Black Mountain Bat, Death Mist Sect, and the Black Tiger Sect, and also dozens of their subordinate middle sects.
Currently they had been in a city that was near the borders of the three empires, information from the Association board located in the city of Lingko said they are currently finished improving and will depart immediately to the capital or city of Xudong.
But there is one other very important thing that you need to know, and it is likely that this will leave us with no chance of lasting too long before the empire is fully ruled".
Emperor Xiao Chen looked tense hearing everything Suqian said, the generals and officials as well as ministers were no less tense even there were of them who had been trembling hearing the number of troops that were about to attack.
"What is senior?" The question of one of the generals belonging to the Iron Blood Forces resuscitated everyone who was there.
"What is senior, what is it?".
"My subordinates who were spying on them said that they sensed that there was an unusually strong aura to be among the black-flow alliance army, which was, the aura was too powerful that it made them unable to scout the enemy for too long before returning to the city of Lingko because they were getting serious internal injuries just from getting the pressure from that aura.
I feel that whoever has that power is a very strong person, because even according to senior Pillar Spear who was also there the pressure of the aura was the pressure of the aura that only those who had broken through to the higher cultivation realm of Nascent due to senior Pillar Spear was also up to suffer internal injuries as serious as them".
The emperor and the officials present including Tang Yue inhaled a breath of cold air, they could feel their bodies trembling in fear of the figure said by Suqian.
"W-what?! Even the senior of the Pillar Spear had serious injuries as well?!" Tang Yue's screeching made all of the trial attendees even more choked.
"General! Prepare the troops immediately! Prepare also the Iron Blood Forces to face the enemy as they have approached the Capital!" Emperor Xiao Chen's orders immediately responded to the generals who immediately went out to prepare their troops.
"For ministers and officials! Announce an emergency immediately! Evacuate the population immediately, do you understand!?".
"""Understand Your Majesty!""".
After that the officials and ministers also left the courtroom leaving behind Tang Yue, Emperor Xiao Chen, and also Suqian who was still there.
"Senior Suqian, where is my cousin?" Tang Yue also looked at Suqian with a questioning look as Xiao Chen asked his cousin.
"Right now young master Xi Suja is in Fire city, according to the information from the young master's Liang brothers is attending an auction event held by the Alchemist Union that is there".
Tang Yue felt very relieved when she heard her son was fine, to be honest she was very worried about the condition of the son ever since Suqian explained the origin of the powerful aura they felt some time ago.
Having felt everything that wanted to be reported has been conveyed, Suqian left the courtroom saying that he would prepare the secret forces of the Blue Batik Association which had been kept well secret that even the Emperor and Tang Yue as the great mistress themselves had not knowing how much power the Association has.
In the city of Lingko itself at this time the atmosphere is very rowdy and chaotic, the ordinary citizens seemed to leave the city to save themselves and their treasures tried to find safety in the Lin empire and also to the nearby Imperial Capital of Han.
In one of the rooms in the Association building of the Lingko branch of the city a young woman was recovering her condition, nearby was a spear that had been broken into two located on the table.
"Who is that figure who has such an extremely powerful aura? He is definitely not a careless figure, it seems like I should call all my brothers and sisters. Lest the empire that our father had guarded fall into their hands, after all where is that young man!?".
Pillar Spear, that is the title that the woman bears. The Pillar Spear was one of the few women who would become Xi Suja's wife at the request of the Cruelest Immortal, paras Pilar Spear itself is not too much different from the brothers and sisters who also have their own titles.
The Pillar Spear took out an ivory-white paper and a pen, after writing down the message he wanted to convey he doubled the paper containing the message then sent it using a post bird in the form of a black crow that was still not a Demonic Beast.
In the place where the black-flow alliance troops were located the troops were seen feasting though previously almost entirely of those who were unconscious as they were suppressed by the powerful aura of the tents used their leaders to set the strategy, they did not know who had such a terrifying aura but they clearly knew that it was a figure they should not offend all they wanted.
Patriarch Ding looked aloof in his tent, in his hand was a green jade pendant that he held tightly.
"My wife, wait for me there. If I die in this place then we will meet again, pray for me so that I can eliminate this goddamn imperial Queen Mother who separated us both a dozen years ago".
A speck of tears dripping from Patriarch Ding's eyes, he seemed to daydream about the face of someone who meant so much in his life but was in a different world to him due to the wars that took place a few dozen years ago.
"Mother Suri of the fucking empire! Wait for my vengeance! I'll make your body a gift for the birthday of my late wife who you killed and separated from me, wait for my arrival, damn woman!" Patriarch Ding clasped the locket tightly until it made his hand hurt as it overshadowed the face of a woman who had separated him from his wife.
