Chapter 116: The Intervention of the Duanren Empire
However, with the current anarchist situation, Huang Xiaolong was in no hurry to go to the Enlightenment Lake; he continued to train in the courtyard every day, biding his time to see what was happening.
In fact, it would be useless even if Huang Xiaolong rushed to the Lake of Enlightenment because there was enough time until the Heavenly Treasure was born. Moreover, the Yuwai Kingdom army was still on guard in the area and they had yet to retreat.
The most important thing was that the Heavenly Treasure was not something anyone could subdue; just like the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, it was, one of the top ten Heavenly Treasures required people with thirteen-level and above martial spirit talents to control them.
Therefore, five days came and went just like that.
On the fifth day, when Huang Xiaolong was training in the courtyard, Fei Hou walked in and reported to him: "Sovereign, this subordinate has learned that the Great Sword Sect of Baolong Kingdom is here!"
The Great Sword Sect!
A glittering edge in Huang Xiaolong's eyes: "Who?"
Fei Hou replied respectfully: “Yu Chen and Lin Zhiren are here. They brought quite a number of elders and disciples of the Great Sword Sect with them!”
Great Sword Sect before − Sect Leader Liu Wei, Yu Chen!
After Liu Wei was killed in the Huang Clan Manor by Marshal Haotian, his younger brother, Lin Zhiren, took over the position of Sect Leader. Unexpectedly, the two of them came here!
“In addition to the Great Sword Sect, the Patriarch of the Baolong Royal Martial Family, Ning Wang, is also here directly!” Fei Hou then added.
"Oh, Patriarch Ning Wang of the Ning Martial Family also came." Huang Xiaolong looked at Fei Hou.
"Yes, also the Purple-robed Sword Sect of the Cloud Sea Kingdom and their Sect Leader brought many people here!" Fei Hou nodded: "Including Clear Cloud Pavilion Cloud Sea Kingdom."
Fei Hou reported one by one their strength and strength that had flowed into Yuwai Kingdom over the past few days to Huang Xiaolong.
Purple-robed Sword Sect, the number one sect of the Cloud Sea Kingdom!
The Clear Cloud Pavilion was the greatest merchant power of the Cloud Sea Kingdom and its influence encompassed the entire Cloud Sea Kingdom; they even opened many branches of the Clear Cloud Pavilion in the neighboring kingdom.
"It seems like quite a number of people are coming ah." When Fei Hou finished reporting, a faint smile flashed across Huang Xiaolong's face, "The atmosphere around the Enlightenment Lake will be more lively in the coming days." Although there were many powerful forces that had arrived, Huang Xiaolong was instead happy instead of worried; as he had said before, the more power the better, the more chaotic the better.
While Fei Hou was updating Huang Xiaolong about the recent movement in the Enlightenment Lake, the King of Yuwai Kingdom, Fan Zhe, was, also listen to the report from the Army Chief Marshal who was responsible for guarding the Lake of Enlightenment, and the frown on his brows deepened.
“Your Majesty, more and more powers are arriving at the Enlightenment Lake; the Great Sword Sect of Baolong Kingdom, the Ning Martial Family, the Valley of the Nine Phoenix, and the Purple-robed Sword Sect of the Cloud Sea Kingdom. Even the Clear Cloud Pavilion had sent someone here. Next, just now..!” This Chief Marshal of the army guarding the Enlightenment Lake named Chen Tong began to hesitate in completing his report.
"Speak! Just what?” Fan Zhe asked in a serious voice.
“Newly, Baolong Kingdom, Cloud Sea Kingdom, Four Seasons Kingdom, Great Tusker Kingdom, New, a number of these royal envoys allied together and came to us saying that if we do not withdraw the troops stationed around the Lake of Enlightenment, then the seven kingdoms will join hands and attack our Yuwai Kingdom!” Chief Marshal Chen Tong reported honestly.
"What?! They dare! This small kingdom, if I don't show them some colors and they will dare to turn the sky!” The prince, Fan Yizhe, who was sitting on the prince's throne was furious when he heard this.
Normally, this small kingdom had always shown a respectful attitude in front of Yuwai Kingdom, not to mention letting out farts, they did not even dare to breathe a little harder. Now, they actually had the courage to unite against the Yuwai Kingdom!
Hearing this, a sharp light shone in the eyes of the Yuwai Kingdom King Fan Zhe, emitting the majestic demeanor of an invisible king, it caused Chief Marshal Chen Tong to lower his head as grains of sweat appeared on his forehead.
“Continue asking the Army to guard the Lake of Enlightenment; however, retreat and guard one way and abort the military ban.”
Protect one side, and abort the military ban!
Chief Marshal Chen Tong was flabbergasted.
Although the army was not withdrawn, removing the military ban was the same as allowing many different powers to come and go in the Enlightenment Lake as they pleased. This is a compromise with seven small kingdoms in disguise.
"Royal Father, we can't overturn the military ban!" Prince Fan Yizhe refused anxiously, “The treasure born in the Lake of Enlightenment this time is most likely to be..!”.
"Enough, don't say it again!" King Yuwai raised a hand to cut off his son's words, and said to Chen Tong: “I will send three Xiantian experts from the palace to help you; after all, I will send three Xiantian experts from the palace to help you; after all, the great treasure in the Lake of Enlightenment could not fall into the hands of others!”
Chen Tong's eyes sparkled, and greeted the King respectfully: “Yes; please assure Your Majesty, I will do my best to win an incredible treasure!
En, go now!
Not long after, the soldiers around the Enlightenment Lake retreated in one direction and news of the lifting of the military ban spread quickly. Fei Hou immediately brought this news to Huang Xiaolong as soon as he got it.
"Oh, military ban imposed." Huang Xiaolong was very pleased with this message.
“True, the Sovereign; are we heading to the Lake of Enlightenment now?" Fei Hou asked.
Huang Xiaolong looked grim as he asked, According to your estimation, when will this treasure in the Enlightenment Lake be born?
Fei Hou was stunned Huang Xiaolong would ask him this question, and he pondered for a moment and replied: "Maybe in ten more days."
Huang Xiaolong nodded: "Then we wait a little while longer."
Ever since the military ban was lifted, the soaring powers would rush to compete with each other to enter the lake first, creating some of the most turbulent times. Not suitable for entry during this rush hour.
Three days passed.
These past three days, the frequency of Fei Hou's arrival and reporting the current situation to Huang Xiaolong increased, as many as several times in a day.
With the influx of many warriors into the Lake of Enlightenment, conflicts of interest became more common, and the fighting became more brutal and intense compared to the period when the military ban was imposed - the current situation can be described as a river of blood.
On the tenth day, when Huang Xiaolong was practicing the Asura Sword Skills in the courtyard like he did every day, Fei Hou walked in with a serious expression. Seeing Fei Hou's face, Huang Xiaolong temporarily stopped his actions.
"Sovereign, I just got word that the Duanren Empire sent someone here!" Stopping in front of Huang Xiaolong, Fei Hou reported this new information.
"Duanren Empire!" Huang Xiaolong's heart fell with 'ka deng' — he was very surprised by the news.
But, the Duanren Kingdom was located over a million li away from here; even considering the speed of a Saint realm expert, it was almost impossible for them to reach the Yuwai Kingdom of the Duanren Empire within a month.
Even so, the people from Duanren Empire have already arrived!
What the hell has happened?!
"The Imperial Clan of Duanren Empire uses Saint level space-time artifacts." Knowing the doubt in Huang Xiaolong's heart, Fei Hou explained further.
"Saint-level space-time artifact?" This was the first time Huang Xiaolong had heard of such a thing.
Fei Hou nodded as an affirmation: “Yes, this space-time artifact is a flying tool made by Saint realm experts, it can also move around through space and at high speed. However, in the entire Duanren Empire, only the Imperial Clan had it.”
Huang Xiaolong frowned.
He had not expected the Duanren Imperial Clan to have a space-time artifact like this; with the intervention of the Duanren Kingdom in this matter, things had become even more complicated.
"Is there a Saint realm expert within them?" Huang Xiaolong asked.
Fei Hou shook his head, "I'm still not sure if there's a Saint realm expert at this point, but it has been confirmed that the Second Prince of Duanren Empire is here, Duan Wuhen!"
“Duan Wuhen?” Huang Xiaolong looked at Fei Hou.
“Yes, this Duan Wuhen has the highest talent among the many Princes and Princesses of the Duanren Empire, the one most favored by Emperor Duanren.” Fei Hou reported: "Cultivating for only two hundred years, he has already become an expert of the Ninth Xiantian Order!"
The Ninth Xiantian Commandment!
Although the Xiantian Ninth Order was not a Holy realm, it was very close to the frightening existences of the Sacred realm.
Then, do you know what this Duan Wuhen martial spirit is? Huang Xiaolong asked another question.
