Miyamoto Takeshi brandished his weapon and engaged the enhanced zombie in a fierce battle, neither of them willing to admit defeat.
Because if anyone is defeated, they will face death.
On a tall building not far from where the two were fighting, the sword-wielding corpse quietly watched the two locked in combat.
After a long while, the enhanced zombie on the side finally couldn't hold back and spoke.
"My lord, why not just take action and capture this brat and devour him? Otherwise, he'll just be given to Lord Frost for nothing."
Upon hearing this, the sword-wielding zombie glanced at the enhanced zombie without any expression, and then spoke.
"Do you think I'm being influenced by my past life's memories and that I'm being too lenient with this human?"
Although they didn't show much expression, all the enhanced zombies present felt a chilling wind.
"Your subordinate dares not." The zombie who had just spoken immediately knelt down, filled with terror.
"Hehe, don't be afraid. I'm afraid I'll suppress this kid's growth by myself. Now that Frost has appeared, I can owe Frost a favor and also enjoy the flesh and blood of a strong person," the Sword Corpse said greedily.
"You haven't used this demonic sword, so you won't know how terrifying it is. If my predecessor hadn't been ambushed and lost an arm, it would have been Frost who died in the end," the sword corpse suddenly said, his tone full of arrogance.
"My lord, you are mighty!" The enhanced zombies immediately knelt down.
The sword-wielding corpse made no comment, continuing to coldly watch the two fighting below.
When the sword corpse saw Miyamoto Takeshi disappear before its eyes, it was clear that Miyamoto Takeshi had gone to meet with Ye Yi.
Because of Ye Yi's strength, the sword corpse was filled with apprehension towards Miyamoto Takeshi.
That's why he couldn't wait to take action and wanted to kill Miyamoto Takeshi.
Otherwise, according to the sword corpse's idea, it would continue to train Miyamoto Takeshi, and even rely on the memories of its predecessor to act as a kind old grandfather in front of Miyamoto Takeshi.
Then, after Miyamoto became powerful, he ate him.
However, because of Miyamoto Takeshi's disappearance, the Sword Corpse didn't know what trump card Miyamoto Takeshi had obtained, so the Sword Corpse dared not gamble.
Later, after Frost appeared, Sword Corpse immediately had an idea: to do Frost a favor by handing over Miyamoto Takeshi to him.
Sword Corpse was gambling on Frost's greed and confidence, nurturing Miyamoto Takeshi until he was no longer an ant. When Frost could no longer control him, Sword Corpse made its move, joining Frost in suppressing Miyamoto Takeshi.
This way, he could do Han Shuang a favor and also enjoy Miyamoto Takeshi's flesh and blood. It was a win-win situation, which is why the Sword Corpse did it this way.
The two fought fiercely, when suddenly the sword-wielding zombie let out a cold snort. The enhanced zombie below paused, and then Miyamoto Takeshi's eyes lit up. He instantly seized the opening, struck, and killed the enhanced zombie.
The sword-wielding corpse also revealed a strange expression and said softly.
"Let's go, this is getting boring. Also, send word that all the enhanced zombies under my command are in hiding."
"Yes," the enhanced zombies replied in unison.
In the Starry Sea World, Ye Yi looked at the old man in front of him with surprise.
At the same time, he thought to himself, "The fantasy world is indeed a superior world. I can actually stumble into the Star Sea World by accident."
"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" Although he was quite surprised, Ye Yi still asked with a smile.
Although Ye Yi already knew the old man's purpose in coming.
Upon hearing Ye Yi's words, the old man cupped his hands in a very gentlemanly manner.
"I have been appointed as the Prime Minister of the Xia Kingdom. I wonder what Your Excellency needs from me?"
Clearly, the old man regarded Ye Yi as someone who had kidnapped him with demands.
“Sir, there’s no need for that. This is a place of exchange. Whatever you can afford, I can provide,” Ye Yi said straightforwardly.
"Please, Immortal, stop toying with me. What brings you here? Please enlighten me," the old prime minister suddenly said firmly.
However, Ye Yi still smiled and shook his head, saying...
"Since the Prime Minister does not believe me, then I will see you off. However, please remember, this opportunity will only come once."
Ye Yi's words made the old prime minister hesitate for a moment, because Ye Yi seemed to have no intention of persecuting the Xia Kingdom.
Seeing the hesitant old prime minister, Ye Yi smiled helplessly, then waved his hand, and a bright silver token appeared in the old prime minister's hand.
Ye Yi continued speaking.
"Consider this token a token of goodwill I have formed with the old gentleman. If I am ever in danger, I can simply crush this token."
After saying that, Ye Yi directly pulled the old prime minister out of the Star Sea World, and the old prime minister in the fantasy world was also startled and suddenly woke up.
But when he saw the token he was holding tightly in his hand, he seemed to be deep in thought.
After dealing with the matter of the old prime minister, Ye Yi chose to enter the fantasy world to see the changes that have taken place.
After all, Ye Yi hasn't entered a fantasy world in a long time.
Ye Yi transformed into an ordinary person and entered Chang'an, the capital of the Xia Kingdom.
Ye Yi was genuinely surprised by the sudden change to an ancient Chinese style environment.
"Hey, have you heard? Bei You has already breached Nanxiang Pass and is heading straight for Chang'an City." A voice suddenly rang in Ye Yi's ear.
"Yes, I've heard that too. The powerful and wealthy in Chang'an are in complete chaos right now, and many rich merchants are preparing to flee to the Great Feng Kingdom further south," another person said.
"Alas, how can our Xia Kingdom withstand the attack of the Bei You Kingdom? This Bei You Empress has gone mad. Why has she suddenly started waging wars in the south and north? Could it be that she wants to revive the glory of the Great Victory?"
"That's right, but the momentum of Beiyou is truly invincible. They have already destroyed four kingdoms and captured sixty-two cities."
"Forget it, forget it anyway. These are things that should be a headache for those bigwigs in the Daoist circles. After all, these things don't concern us ordinary people. If Bei You really invades, we can just change our flag."
"That's right, that's right."
Watching the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, Ye Yi stroked his beard and fell into deep thought.
Ye Yi knew the reasons behind the Northern You Empress's campaigns in the south and north. As the successor to the Great Victory Emperor, the Northern You Empress must also hold the method to govern the dynasty.
Therefore, the Northern Empress's campaigns in the south and north were definitely aimed at using the dynasty's fortune to break through to the realm of the ruler.
This is very good news for Ye Yi, since so far, there is still no ruler in the entire fantasy world.
However, Ye Yi is currently thinking about whether there is an opportunity to use the Northern You Empress's pretext of attacking various countries to establish a confrontation.
After all, confrontation will definitely produce a large number of experts and talents in this fantasy world.
With this in mind, Ye Yi began to ponder.
Suddenly, Ye Yi seemed to have thought of something, and immediately began to move quickly on the road, heading towards the Prime Minister's residence of the Xia Kingdom.
The surrounding scenery flashed by quickly in Ye Yi's eyes, but he felt nothing.
Because Ye Yi knew how to use this excuse to get the strongest people in this fantasy world to fight each other.
The reason why the Northern Nether Kingdom was invincible in the past was because it had many powerful people, and its Northern Nether Empress was one of the five giants in the fantasy world.
The other four, one of whom disguised himself as a young man wandering the mortal world, had absolutely no connection with the Empress.
A fisherman in Beihai, detached from worldly affairs, single-mindedly pursuing the ultimate way of the sword.
There is also someone from the Western Desert who is looking for someone to fight, and the Empress, being a woman, is not easy to fight, according to this battle maniac.
Originally, the only Daoist Cangyan who could intercept the Empress had more than half of his lifespan cut off by Ye Yi, and is now in seclusion seeking a breakthrough.
That's why the Empress has such an unstoppable momentum.
Ultimately, this situation is also largely related to Ye Yi.
Once he had figured out this line of thought, Ye Yi quickly changed his appearance and went to the Prime Minister's residence to request an audience with the Prime Minister of Xia Kingdom.
A short while later, a butler came out to take Ye Yi inside.
"But you say there's a way to save Xia Kingdom?" The old prime minister looked at Ye Yi, his eyes full of scrutiny.
"Yes, it is I. However, I have a request. I'm just looking at Xiangshe and I can't bear to part with her," Ye Yi said without fear.
"Speak," the old prime minister said confidently, waving his hand. "If you can truly save my Xia Kingdom, I will grant you any request."
"I've heard that the Prime Minister has obtained a silver token. I wish to obtain the silver token from the Prime Minister, and for this, I can ask Daoist Cangyan for help for the Xia Kingdom," Ye Yi said unhurriedly.
Yes, Ye Yi now wants to project the prestige of the silver token.
Originally, it was just a casual act of kindness by Ye Yi, but Ye Yi can turn this silver token into a treasure, so that even after the war ends, it can become a reason for conflict in this world.
"Oh." The old prime minister narrowed his eyes, because he had just obtained this token last night, and now, less than twelve hours later, someone was already asking for it.
This situation is full of strange elements, and the fact that the person who asked for the token was able to get the reclusive Daoist Cangyan to take action makes the strangeness even more apparent.
Regardless, this token must be a treasure, otherwise no one would go to such lengths to obtain it.
As for the treasure inside the token, the old prime minister has no idea, after all, he only recently obtained the silver token.
Moreover, the way the silver token was received was also very strange.
"I agree. As long as you can persuade Daoist Cangyan to come and help, then giving you the token is not out of the question," the Prime Minister immediately said.
"Thank you, Your Excellency. I will visit again tomorrow." Ye Yi immediately stood up to take his leave.
Watching Ye Yi's departing figure, the old prime minister couldn't help but take out a silver token and examine it with a curious expression.
The next morning, the old prime minister looked at the gate with expectant eyes.
Behind the old prime minister sat a group of Xia Kingdom nobles. These people were not only the nobles of Xia Kingdom, but also the backbone of Xia Kingdom today, and the most powerful force that Xia Kingdom could currently display.
Among them were two deans representing the cultivation world of Xia Kingdom, General Ma Ruofei representing the Ministry of War, and people from all walks of life.
"Prime Minister, what brings you all here?" Dean Chen Yuan asked, frowning.
"I would like to discuss with you all the details of our plan to march south from Beiyou," the old prime minister said unhurriedly.
"What else can we do? Of course, we should just crush them and show them that our Xia Kingdom is not so weak," a hot-tempered military nobleman said loudly.
“Shut your mouth! Our country now only has 100,000 troops left, while when Beiyou conquered Nanxiang Pass, it had over a million troops. Now, that million-strong army hasn’t decreased much.” Ma Ruofei immediately reprimanded his subordinate.
"That's all Sima's fault. He actually surrendered directly and didn't even dare to defend such a formidable pass as Nanxiang Pass." The military nobleman muttered to himself after being reprimanded.
Finally, a dean heard this and looked at the powerful figure, speaking softly.
"No wonder Sima Quan, even the Empress appeared during the Northern You Southern Expedition. Sima Quan is just a martial artist in the Life and Death Realm, how could he possibly contend with the Empress's divine might?"
"What exactly does the old prime minister mean by summoning us? Is it to discuss a way to surrender?" Ma Ruofei suddenly said. As soon as he said this, the scene fell silent. Even the hot-tempered nobleman dared not breathe loudly.
Upon hearing this, the old prime minister glanced at Ma Ruofei and then said softly.
"My life was given to me by the previous king, and I will ensure the safety of my Xia Kingdom even if it means my death."
Although the voice was very soft, it gave many people a different kind of confidence.
"But the strongest among us is Dean Chen Yuan, who is at the Venerable Realm. How can we contend with the Hall of Worship under the Empress? If we can't even handle the Hall of Worship, how can we talk about the Empress, who possesses the Supreme Realm?" Upon hearing this, the people who were originally confident instantly lost their strength.
In the entire Xia Kingdom, only Dean Chen Yuan possesses the Venerable Realm, and he is the weakest among the Venerable Realm cultivators, a newly entered Venerable.
Even if we include the ancestor of the Xia Kingdom's royal family, the Xia Kingdom only has two Venerables, and the ancestor is only at the mid-stage of the Venerable realm.
Even before the Northern Nether Kingdom's Hall of Worship had its seven Venerable Realm experts, one of whom was a Venerable Realm Perfection expert.
Now that it has annexed several countries, the Northern Netherworld Temple already has a handful of Venerable Ones.
This is something that the Xia Kingdom cannot solve no matter how hard it tries.
"Ruofei, if the experts from Beiyou Kingdom don't come out, are you confident that you can force back Beiyou's million-strong army?" the Prime Minister said softly.
The tone was very soft, yet it made people trust the speaker once again.
"I am confident that although the Northern You army appears powerful, its actual strength is no more than 500,000. The vast majority of the remaining 500,000 are surrendered soldiers whom Northern You has recruited. These surrendered soldiers dare not resist because of the power of the Northern You Empress and the Hall of Worship. If the Empress and the Hall of Worship do not appear, I am confident that I can turn these surrendered soldiers against their will. In this way, we can force the Northern You Kingdom to retreat," Ma Ruofei said directly.
"Does the Prime Minister perhaps have a way to stop the Empress and her retinue?" Chen Yuan said with some surprise.
"I am not entirely confident, but if it fails, I would be grateful if Dean Chen could escort His Majesty south to rebuild our Xia Kingdom," the old prime minister said softly.
"Haha, there's no need to say no, old Prime Minister. The person you wanted, I've already brought him here." A hearty voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
