After returning to the imperial study, the Great Xue Emperor imdiately flew into a rage.

Damn it! How dare they threaten !

Since ascending the throne, I have never been subjected to such a threat!

Great Xia! Sooner or later, I will settle this score with you!

If I do not avenge this, I swear Im not fit to be human!

The study was in shambles, with many vases and bookshelves completely smashed, yet it did nothing to quell the anger.

The officials close at hand were all trembling with fear.

After a while, when the Great Xue Emperors rage had sowhat subsided, one of the officials mustered the courage to speak up.

Your Majesty, are we truly going to let Great Xia dictate terms and hand over ten million taels of silver?

The anger that the Great Xue Emperor had just managed to suppress flared up again with a whoosh, and he bellowed furiously, What else can we do? Tell , what else can we do? If we dont pay, they will send that old brute with the divine sword to settle scores with ! Can you stand in for ? Can you?

The official was scolded so harshly that he slunk away, utterly humiliated.

The other officials were even less inclined to speak up.

After another bout of chaotic smashing, the Great Xue Emperor once again vented his anger.

Looking at the trembling officials before him, he sighed and said, My ministers, when we are outmatched, we must temporarily swallow this defeat. Impatience can ruin greater plans!

But mark my words; one day, we will trample over Great Xia and reclaim our losses a hundredfold, a thousandfold! I will have the Great Xia Emperor flayed and quartered and all the traitors beheaded! That day will not be far off!

Your Majesty speaks the absolute truth! the officials exclaid loudly.

We have now lost 10 million taels, and our national treasury is depleted. We must first recoup from Great Shi and Great Zhu!

The Great Xue Emperor declared loudly. Tell General Nangong to advance the army at full speed, regardless of the cost, regardless of the losses! If necessary, I will intervene!

As you command, Your Majesty! everyone responded.

After issuing his orders, the Great Xue Emperors forces pressed forward, conquering cities and seizing territories along their path.

Several Innate masters rushed to the front lines to provide support.

The nations of Great Shi and Great Zhu could only resist with difficulty, teetering on the brink of danger.

At this critical mont, Yuan Tiangang returned with thirty million taels of gold, silver, and jewels.

Lin Beifan looked at the dozens of carts filled with treasures and was overjoyed.

With these thirty million taels of gold, silver, and jewels, the national treasury was imdiately filled to the brim.

Even if taxes were not collected for several years, the nation could definitely withstand it.

Lin Beifan, with a greatly pleased expression, said, Minister, you have handled this matter well. I am very pleased. As of now, I am promoting you by two ranks! As for the monetary reward, just push a cart back ho! Whichever cart you fancy, push that one, and its no problem if you take a bit more, haha!

Thank you for your generous reward, Your Majesty. This humble servant would not dare to decline! Yuan Tiangang said with a bow and a smile.

Although he was not interested in wealth, this was, after all, a reward from His Majesty.

When the Emperor gives, one must accept. Only then can there be harmony between the sovereign and his subjects?

Lin Beifan also generously rewarded the Heng Ha Generals, but they seed to be uninterested in wealth as well. So, Lin Beifan exchanged the monetary rewards for delicacies from the mountains and seas and fine wines, which he sent to their residences.

Thank you for your imnse grace! The Heng Ha Generals were very happy.

At that mont, Yuan Tiangang bowed and said, Your Majesty, this humble servant had another purpose for traveling to Great Xue, besides demanding wealth, and that was to see what kind of person the Emperor of Great Xue is!

My humble servant has employed the art of divination and foreseen that the Great Xue Emperor is a man of profound destiny. It wont be long before he advances further, becoming a Grandmaster-level figure and establishing his own dynasty! He is a formidable enemy to our Great Xia; we must prepare early.

Lin Beifan offered a slight smile: Let him break through if he will; it matters not! Should he dare to co, I shall ensure his journey is one-way!

Yuan Tiangang lifted his head, observing Lin Beifans confident and composed expression, and laughed: Your Majesty is a Sovereign Star, already well-prepared. You will surely turn misfortune into fortune. It seems I have worried unnecessarily!

That evening, Lin Beifan was in high spirits and hosted a banquet for all the officials.

anwhile, the nations of Great Shi and Great Zhu were engulfed in the smoke of war.

The Great Xue army was strong and filled with masters, conquering cities and lands in their path, their montum unstoppable, and no one could stand in their way.

Over half of the Great Shi Kingdom has already fallen, and the situation in the Great Zhu Kingdom isnt much better.

The Emperor of Great Shi is in a panic; hes already preparing to flee.

Its the sa with all the court officials.

Even the lowliest creatures cling to life; no one wants to die alongside Great Shi.

Quick, quick, quick! This is my most cherished glazed cup, handle it with care, do you understand? If it breaks, Ill have your head!

And this jade Buddha, be careful with it, dont chip it!

How can you be so foolish? All thumbs, you cant even handle this simple task~?

Alright, I must scold you now! Its getting late, open the city gates imdiately, and lets set off!

At this mont, the Great Shi Emperor had already boarded the carriage, prepared for escape, and was ready to leave the capital city.

Behind him followed dozens of carriages, which carried his beloved concubines and children, as well as a vast amount of gold, silver, and jewels.

Even if he could no longer be the Emperor, with these treasures, he could ensure a life free from worries.

Just then, a soldier rushed in, panting.

Report! Urgent news!

The Great Shi Emperor impatiently drew back the curtains of his carriage and asked, Whats the matter?

Report to Your Majesty, Biluo City and Tianhua City have successively fallen. The Great Xue army has broken through the defenses and is marching rapidly. In less than three days, they will be at the foot of the capital city!

The Great Shi Emperor was greatly alard, Didnt I order General Huang and the others to defend Biluo and Tianhua at all costs, sparing no effort? How could they have fallen so quickly? What have they been doing?

Biluo City and Tianhua City were the last lines of defense leading to the capital city.

In order to stop the Great Xues troops, he dispatched the remaining 300,000 soldiers and 5 Innate experts.

With such forces, even if they couldnt win, they should have been able to hold off the enemy for 10 days to half a month, giving him ti to escape.

But who would have known they couldnt hold out even for two days!

Report to Your Majesty, its because the Great Xue Emperor intervened! He was too powerful, single-handedly slaughtering General Huang and the others! Without our commander, our troops couldnt hold the line!

What? The Great Xue Emperor has co? The Great Shi Emperors face turned extrely grim.

The strength of the Great Xue Emperor was known throughout the world; no one could stand against him except for a Grandmaster.

With him joining the battle, it was normal that our defenses couldnt hold.

He didnt care whether others lived or died; he was only concerned about his own life.

With the Great Xue Emperor on the attack, did he still have a chance to survive?

The Emperor felt a surge of intense crisis welling up inside him and anxiously shouted, Are we ready? We set out now, leave this place! Quickly!

Your Majesty, the city gates are open; we can leave at any mont! soone replied.

Then lets depart imdiately!

Great Shi Emperor commanded, then after a monts thought, added, Were heading to Great Xia!

Yes, Your Majesty!

Elsewhere, Great Zhu Emperor, upon learning that Great Xue Emperor was coming to kill, was equally thrown into a panic.

That was a cold-blooded Emperor who didnt blink an eye at murder, and to make matters worse, he was incredibly powerful, with ruthless thods. The number of people who died at his hands was like carps crossing the river, too nurous to count!

The enemy is leading their troops to attack; the Great Zhu Kingdom is definitely not going to hold!

As the reigning Emperor, his end might be near!

In a panic, the Great Zhu Emperor exclaid, That demon is coming, stop dawdling, lets go at once!

At that mont, he also boarded a carriage filled with gold, silver, and jewels, ready to flee.

Your Majesty, where shall we go?

The face of the Great Zhu Emperor was a mix of dark and changing expressions.

Originally, he had devised many escape plans, but now none of them were of any use.

Because the Great Xue Emperor has co to kill, he is powerful and ferocious, unmatched by anyone.

If he is intent on killing soone, it is very difficult for them to escape.

Within these thousand li, it seems that only the Sword Elder of Great Xia can withstand the Great Xue Emperor.

Great Xia has taken our money; lets go to Great Xia!

Yes, Your Majesty!

Thus, in order to survive, the emperors of the two nations chose Great Xia without prior consultation.

After three days, Great Xues troops finally reached the capital city of Great Shi, only to find the city gates wide open.

After a search, soone reported back.

Report to Your Majesty, the Great Shi Emperor has already fled with the royal family mbers!

The Great Xue Emperor remained calm: Its quite normal for that coward, who fears death, to run away! Do you know where that cowardly dog Emperor has fled to?

Report to Your Majesty, they headed in the direction of Great Xia!

Good, you all guard the capital city, tally the food and wealth, I will go and bring back his dog head!

After speaking, with a whoosh, he rose into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
