"More than 30 sects in the Northern Wilderness were all destroyed by a top-notch expert within seven days?
He is actually a kendo master?"
"Your Excellency, the news is accurate, and the royal family has personally confirmed it.
In addition, the Great Xia Dynasty has already sent 300,000 troops to march towards the Northern Wilderness. This time, Xiong Rui may have really angered the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty."
The Great Elder was pacing in the hall, thinking of a strategy in his mind.
The Holy Land of Heavenly Sword has always been the biggest support behind all the tribes in the Northern Wilderness, and it is also the fundamental reason why the entire Northern Wilderness has been able to stand proudly in a corner of Qizhou for thousands of years.
You should know that there are only ten holy places in the entire continent. Each of these holy places has an immortal heritage of tens of thousands of years. The scale and strength are far beyond the reach of ordinary small sects.
But now, Beihuang and Daxia Dynasty went to war, which meant that the dynasty no longer gave face to the Holy Land of Heavenly Sword, which made the Holy Land very unhappy.
You know, even a powerful dynasty like the Great Xia is not enough in front of a holy land. But now Emperor Xia can no longer tolerate it and is determined to completely eliminate the border threats in the Northern Wilderness. A fierce battle is inevitable.
“Great Elder.
In my opinion, the Great Xia Dynasty may have felt that it has grown strong enough, so it is necessary to send some people over to give them a warning."
Below the hall, an old man in a grey robe spoke in a low voice. He was also one of the elders of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land.
“Yes, that’s what I meant.
Although the ten masters of my holy land are in seclusion now, with the background of us young people, we are definitely not something that the Great Xia Dynasty can contend with. Send out a cave realm sword group of 100 people, followed by a few Yuanshen realm elders, to give them a warning! "
Similar voices were heard one after another in the hall.
You must know that the ten major holy places have an extraordinary status in the mainland, and they all have their own irresistible majesty. Although the imperial-level forces are already giants in the mortal world, in the eyes of these holy places of cultivation, they are just a group of ants. They are absolutely not qualified to compete with the practitioners, and they must not disobey the majesty of the holy places, otherwise they will end up being wiped out.
The chief elder put his hands behind his back and could only nod slightly after a long while: "I don't even care about the Great Xia Dynasty.
The only thing that I can't figure out is who this powerful man is who was able to destroy dozens of sects in my Northern Wilderness in just a few days.
If this person is the reason why the Great Xia Dynasty stood up to us, then we must be on guard.”
"Where is Lingyao?"
The great elder called out, and a woman wrapped in a white long dress with a face as cold as ice suddenly appeared in the hall.
This person is Ling Yao, the sword-crazy one among the seven sword spirit children of the younger generation of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land. He is also the most proud closed disciple of the Great Elder. At such a young age, he has already made achievements in the way of the sword, and his cultivation has even broken into the Yuanshen realm.
From this point of view alone, the foundation of a holy land is extremely terrifying!
Even among the younger generation, Yuan Shen realm masters are not uncommon, not to mention these elders and the living fossils who defend the glory of the holy land...
"Master, what do you want me to do?"
"I order you to set off immediately and infiltrate the imperial family of the Great Xia Dynasty. Be ready to receive the envoys from the Holy Land at any time, and investigate the identity of the mysterious strong man who has entered the Northern Wilderness."
Lingyao's eyes shone, and she nodded slightly in response: "As ordered!"
At the top of the sky, the silver light as bright as a rainbow flashed away, and Lingyao flew away on her sword.
“Third Elder, Fifth Elder, and my two junior brothers, you will set off with a hundred-man sword group in three days. On behalf of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, you will greet the Great Xia Dynasty, especially their self-righteous emperor.
I want to see who gave this guy the courage to launch a massive attack on our Northern Wilderness!"
"Yes, sir!"
…
For a time, all the tribes in the Northern Wilderness were in turmoil!
Countless people's eyes are focused here.
The news of the holy land's actions spread like wildfire, causing an uproar throughout the world. Naturally, it also reached the Great Xia Dynasty and was known to everyone.
After receiving the news, the emperor remained relatively calm, but he also knew that the Holy Land's decisive response meant that the conflict would be intensified sooner or later.
Since the decision has been made to wipe out the Northern Barbarian Xiong Rui lineage, the Heavenly Sword Holy Land will sooner or later become the enemy.
If they are enemies, they must be eliminated as soon as possible!
"My two princes, what do you think about the attitude of the Holy Land?"
The fifth prince and the eighth prince looked at each other, their expressions were extremely solemn, and it was impossible to tell what they were thinking on the surface.
“Father, the Holy Land of Heavenly Sword has protected the Northern Wilderness for a thousand years. It is precisely because of the existence of this mountain that the Northern Wilderness dares to invade our northern borders again and again.
Even though the Holy Land has a profound foundation, if we let them do whatever they want, where will the dignity of our Great Xia be?"
The Eighth Prince is not afraid of going to war. This kid's temperament is similar to that of his beautiful mother, the imperial concubine. He is hot-tempered, decisive and straightforward.
Since we will become rivals sooner or later, we might as well take the opportunity to have a hearty battle.
In comparison, the fifth prince is more conservative.
As the legitimate prince born to the queen, the fifth prince always thinks from the perspective of the dynasty's own pros and cons.
"Father, I think we should not start a war with the Holy Land.
The strength of the holy land is not as strong as Xiong Rui. It will not do us any good to break off relations with the Tianjian Holy Land.
But since Xiong Rui has to be eliminated, I think we can replace the roles of the various branches of the Northern Wilderness and cooperate with the Heavenly Sword Holy Land to achieve a win-win situation."
As soon as the Fifth Prince put forward his strategy, the Eighth Prince immediately became angry and refuted it on the spot.
"Fifth brother!
Do you mean to ask our Great Xia Dynasty to serve as dogs for the Heavenly Sword Holy Land?"
“Oh, although what Eighth Brother said was a bit harsh, you should understand that even if you are a dog, at least you have a doghouse to shelter you from the wind and rain, and at least you have a bone to chew.
But if we openly break off relations with the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, one of the ten great holy lands on the continent, can you imagine what the consequences will be?"
"you!"
The two brothers glared at each other, and finally the emperor himself got tired of it and said, "Stop talking."
"I naturally understand what you two mean.
The national prestige cannot be lost, but the foundation of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land is also not something we can contend with today. We need to find an appropriate fulcrum to resolve this dilemma."
"Fulcrum..." The emperor's word seemed to remind the two princes at once.
"Father!
I have someone I would like to recommend for this fulcrum you mentioned."
As soon as the Fifth Prince started to speak, the Eighth Prince responded immediately, but he was still a step too late.
Now both princes have the opportunity to make a request to Xu Yang. If they can help Daxia avoid this crisis in their own name, their chances of succession will be greatly increased.
"who?"
"The strongest man in Tianwu County, the former leader of Tianlan Sect - Xu Yang!"
