Sheng Fu

Chapter 1262 Don't Move Anymore
Three days later, in the morning.

Rumors are like the wind, never-ending.

Yonghe Prefecture, inside the Marshal's Mansion.

Ji Nan sat in the pavilion, pouring himself a drink. He looked slightly unwell, as if he had caught a cold. But how could someone with such cultivation level fall ill? Even if he were sick, it should be a mental illness.

After Emperor Ling died in battle, the world fell into a strange calm.

During this period, countless talented individuals secretly predicted the future trend. Initially, their predictions were consistent: as long as the gods and demons remained inactive, the three-race alliance would inevitably descend into internal strife after a while.

Instead of the internal strife that ensued within the Three Races Alliance, we received news that the Demon Lord and the God Emperor had entered the Realm of Myriad Ends.

And this news actually came from the Three Races Alliance.

This turn of events was so sudden and unexpected.

Even Ji Nan was currently confused and couldn't see the situation clearly.

No instructions came from the Golden Palace, and Luo Fu and Ji Yong remained silent.

But the Human Emperor did indeed appear in Changmao Prefecture and planted the Human Emperor Sword on the city wall of Changmao Prefecture.

Ji Nanben was burdened with the heavy responsibility of guarding Yonghe Prefecture and was prepared to die on the battlefield. However, at this moment, he suddenly didn't know what he should do...

It seems that this great struggle has turned into a farce that has come to an abrupt end.

I feel dazed, as if I've lived through another world.

In short, the sudden news and the eerie calm left the divine general's mind racing, for reasons unknown.

After drinking a glass of wine, I didn't feel any effects; it was like drinking cold water.

Just as he poured the second cup, he looked up and saw that Luo Fu was already sitting opposite him, looking at Ji Nan with a meaningful gaze. Ji Nan looked slightly bewildered, but quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Ji Nan greets Lord Luo Fu."

Luo Fu slightly raised his hand and pressed it down, gesturing for Ji Nan to sit down and talk.

Luo Fu smiled knowingly and said, "I know you're confused. In fact, I've been quite confused myself these past few days. Even though I'm in the Golden Palace, I didn't know that His Majesty had entered the Half-Step Myriad Realms."

Ji Nan's eyes gradually brightened, like a flame rising, and he exclaimed with delight, "So, Your Majesty has truly entered the Half-Step Myriad Realms?"

Luo Fu nodded and said, "Yes, but we can't start a war immediately. There are many things that haven't been investigated yet, involving countless fields. Even I and that three-legged bird lord don't know any of the inside information."

"Generally speaking, His Majesty and the Demon Lord are on par, and it is still unknown who is stronger."

"Therefore, we will remain on hold for the time being."

"Judging from the timeline, the Demon Lord should have entered the Half-Step Myriad Realms earlier than His Majesty. However, their paths to the Myriad Realms are completely different. Therefore, His Majesty should carefully consider and deliberate on this matter."

"This is a contest between two people, not a contest between thousands of troops."

Ji Nan nodded thoughtfully.

Luo Fu then changed the subject, saying, "The intricate game of strategy is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like us. General, please do not be anxious. We should follow His Majesty's orders."

"If Your Majesty gives no decree, then there is nothing to do; if Your Majesty gives a decree, then we shall act accordingly."

"Remember, never act rashly."

Ji Nan stood up and bowed deeply, saying, "Understood, thank you for your guidance, sir."

Luo Fu glanced in the direction of Changmao Prefecture. The Emperor's Sword on the city wall was indeed menacing, its Purple Star aura covering the entire city-state, but it was only for show. Only those who lack confidence would be eager to display their strongest side.

Luo Fu said calmly, "Don't pay any attention to the Human Emperor on the other side. During this period, whether you are cultivating your mind and body or indulging in music and dance, everything should be based on your mood."

Ji Nan hummed in agreement, then suddenly remembered someone and asked suspiciously, "Why aren't we investigating Yuwen Jun? The Human Emperor and that girl from the Demon Realm are respectively guarding Changmao Prefecture and Sky City, but there's still no news about Yuwen Jun. Is there something fishy going on here?"

Ji Nan had always thought that Yuwen Jun was just lucky, but he also admitted in his heart that Yuwen Jun was like a dazzling star in this great struggle, extremely eye-catching.

Luck is also a kind of strength.

The reason Ji Nan values ​​Yuwen Jun at this moment is because Yuwen Jun has cultivated Chaotic Emperor Qi. In front of the two half-step Wan Duan, Yuwen Jun's variables are not significant, but they cannot be said to be completely non-existent.

There are always some things that are hard to say, let alone predict. Some people seem doomed to die, yet suddenly their fortunes turn around; others seem to have victory in their grasp, yet perish in an instant.

Luo Fu's eyes flickered, and he said with a slightly bewildered expression, "I do have such thoughts in my mind, but His Majesty has clearly told me that there is no need to investigate Yuwen Jun."

"The Divine Emperor can no longer detect any trace of Yuwen Jun's presence; whether he is alive or dead is currently unknown."

"The depth of the perception of the Half-Step Myriad Ends is beyond our imagination."

"Judging from the signs, Yuwen Jun has vanished without a trace."

"But I don't think Yuwen Jun is dead. Yet I can't understand how Yuwen Jun managed to completely conceal his aura. The only possibility is that Yuwen Jun joined forces with those ancient races that were hiding very deeply, such as the former Vermilion Bird King. But His Majesty has not brought up the matter of ancient powerhouses, so I won't ask too much. In short, His Majesty has been very preoccupied these past few days."

Ji Nan asked in astonishment, "Even His Majesty couldn't sense Yuwen Jun's presence?"

"How is this possible?"

Luo Fu said helplessly, "Not only Yuwen Jun, but also those young people who followed Yuwen Jun have completely disappeared recently."

Ji Nan suddenly felt that the situation was becoming increasingly unpredictable...

Changmaozhou.

Upon hearing that both the Demon Lord and the God Emperor had reached the Half-Step Myriad Realms, the soldiers' morale immediately plummeted. They were unsure of what lay ahead or the meaning of continuing the fight.

When the Human Emperor arrived, the soldiers' low morale began to rise again. Especially after they learned that the Human Emperor had brought the Human Race's most precious treasure, the Human Emperor's Seal, their anxiety gradually dissipated, but deep down they still felt uneasy.

Fortunately, at least some morale was restored.

Meanwhile, the native inhabitants of Changmao Prefecture, Haomiao City, Taicang City, and Shuangyue City, upon hearing that their God Emperor had entered the Half-Step Myriad Realms, naturally experienced some subtle changes in their spirits.

The people who cared deeply for the God Emperor felt that their suffering was finally coming to an end, and they looked forward to the God Emperor personally leading the expedition to reclaim the divine realm and conquer the human and demon races.

Another group of people felt that their lives seemed to be better under the new political system, and they were indifferent to the matter. They believed that the powerful figures could kill and fight as they pleased, as long as innocent civilians were not harmed.

People had different thoughts, but in general, the four city-states did not experience major turmoil or unrest. Public opinion remained stable, and there was no widespread panic or chaos.

Under the influence of the new policy, order within the city remained as usual.

Inside an unassuming little tavern, the Emperor and Yue Bo sat around a table, their only snack being peanuts.

Outside the tavern, the people on the street were at peace, and the vendors' cries were as loud as ever.

"Is Yuwen Jun the only hope?" Yue Bo asked the emperor in front of him, his voice filled with both sincerity and resentment.

The Emperor chuckled, his face full of bitterness, and said, "We can't necessarily count on him, but he's the only option."
