When the Clear Wind City Lord received the imperial decree, a rare smile blossod on his face. Shouting in excitent, he lost all semblance of his usual powerful deanor.
"When the Imperial Envoy arrives, let's see how the store fights back," he grinned evilly.
With his previous plans thwarted and the horror of the Celestial Heavenly Store's power, he knew he couldn't act rashly and could only bide his ti, waiting for news from the Imperial Capital.
But who would have guessed? The king wasn't just sending any ordinary envoy—he was sending the terrifying Pri Minister.
Apart from the King of Thunia Kingdom, the most fearso person was the Pri Minister. Besides his calculative mind, his talent was only slightly below the king's.
He was renowned for his indomitable will in battle and terrifying Fist Technique. As a Peak Grandmaster Martial Artist, his attacks could destroy a city without breaking a sweat.
One of the reasons the Thunia Kingdom still stood was because of the Pri Minister.
And now, such an influential and powerful man was coming to his city. How could he not be thrilled?
To him, he could already see the destruction of the Celestial Heavenly Store.
"They should surrender if they know what's good for them," he muttered, clicking his tongue and sipping his tea, not minding that it had already grown cold.
Seeing his master's excitent, the butler smiled and sighed in relief. This past month had been hard on his master, and now, with the envoy coming from the imperial city, he felt that all his master's troubles would soon be solved.
anwhile, the Celestial Heavenly Store continued selling Spirit Comms while the Intelligence Guild recruited more mbers.
With the Intelligence Guild's influence, Madam Mo handled countless secrets daily.
Many of these left her speechless. Cooped up in Dongping City for decades, she had never imagined the depth of the Soaring Cloud Region was this deep.
Then, suddenly, she received intelligence from one of her spies in a nearby village. Reading the report, she was stunned for a mont before quickly recovering.
"I must forward this to the Young Master imdiately," she exclaid, her face etched with seriousness.
In a secluded part of the Boiling Desert, Zimo was cultivating on a small rock surrounded by molten lava. He creased his brow and opened his eyes.
"Who sent an ergency ssage?" he thought, checking his Spirit Comms.
"Hmm, the king's envoy… likely the Pri Minister," he mused after reading the ssage's contents.
He thought for a mont and shook his head. "I'm too lazy to deal with this. I'll let soone else handle it."
To a Barren Lander, what was a re pri minister from so backward plain? Even if he ca from a powerful empire, the only thing awaiting him was death.
Quickly, he forwarded the ssage to Mao Hai to handle any issues that might arise. Mao Hai was the temporary, secret head of the Soaring Cloud Region, tasked with taking control of the region as swiftly as possible.
On the third day, a powerful troop escorting a luxurious carriage arrived at the Clear Wind City. At the gate, Kong Shi, the City Lord, bowed deeply, paying his respects to the new arrival. Enjoy new adventures from empire
When pedestrians saw their powerful City Lord bowing deeply to the troop, they were montarily stunned. Then, they heard the City Lord shouting.
"Your Grace, thank you for coming to our humble city."
Within seconds, a crowd had gathered at the gate, watching in amazent and wondering who the visitor was.
Unfortunately, they had no ti to find out as the City Lord led the troop into the city with a prideful smile.
From the corner of his eye, he saw the towering Celestial Heavenly Store in the distance and sneered. "Your days are numbered," he chuckled inwardly.
Ten minutes later, an old man with sparse white hair sat in the main hall of the City Lord's mansion. Beside him, a beautiful woman served him tea.
In front of him stood three trusted generals, with the City Lord standing further back.
"So, tell what's going on," the Pri Minister demanded in a flat voice.
"Ah! Yes…" The City Lord nodded, quickly narrating everything to the Pri Minister.
Throughout his narration, the Pri Minister's expression remained unchanged.
"A re ordinary store creating an artifact that allows instant communication?" A look of fascination finally appeared on the Pri Minister's face.
"Get one. I want to try it out," he commanded.
"Your Grace, here it is,"
The City Lord had prepared everything in advance, imdiately presenting a Spirit Comms to the Pri Minister.
After explaining its functions, the Pri Minister sent his consciousness into the Spirit Comms, and behold—a new world unfolded in his mind.
For an hour, the hall was as quiet as a graveyard, everyone holding their breath.
"Interesting…"
Finally, the Pri Minister recovered from his exploration, and his previously dull expression sharpened.
"This artifact is too important for a re ordinary store to control. It must belong to the Kingdom," he stated matter-of-factly.
His arrival at Clear Wind City had not been due to the City Lord's ssage but for another purpose. However, since this matter was along his route, he had decided to investigate.
But who would have expected him to find such a magical artifact?
"My plans will be easier if I can control this magical artifact," he thought, as various sches unfolded in his mind.
At his level, mundane things held little value. His only pursuit was breaking through to a higher realm to increase his lifespan.
Now that he had discovered such an artifact, he resolved to take it and add it to his hidden resources.
"Go now. Inform the store that it has been seized by the kingdom," he commanded coldly.
When the City Lord heard this, an evil smile crept up his face.
'I knew it. Humph! Let's see if you dare ignore the command of the Pri Minister.' He chuckled and couldn't wait to see the destruction of the Celestial Heavenly Store.
