"Shut up!" The man in black was angered by Chu Ze's contempt and his attack became more fierce.

For a moment, the flashing of knives and the surging of sword energy were everywhere, and the entire imperial garden was filled with a strong murderous aura.

The two fought back and forth for dozens of rounds, but it was still difficult to determine the winner.

"It seems that it won't work if I don't take it seriously." Chu Ze said to himself.

He took a deep breath, and the true energy in his body surged, and a powerful momentum burst out instantly.

"I want to see who you are!" Chu Ze shouted coldly, his figure flashed, and he disappeared from the spot in an instant.

The next moment, he appeared behind the man in black and slapped him with his palm.

"Oh!"

With a dull thud, the man in black was knocked away by Chu Ze's palm and fell heavily to the ground.

"puff!"

The man in black spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale in an instant.

He struggled to stand up, but found that he could not move.

"You... who are you?" asked the man in black in horror.

"I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chu Ze!" Chu Ze looked down at the man in black, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"You...you actually..." The man in black widened his eyes, eyes full of disbelief.

He could never have imagined that he would be defeated by an emperor.

"Now, can you tell me who sent you here?" Chu Ze asked coldly.

"Hmph, you can kill me or chop me up, all is up to you!" The man in black snorted coldly, turned his head away, and ignored Chu Ze.

"If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished!" A cold light flashed in Chu Ze's eyes, and he raised his right hand, ready to end the life of the man in black.

"stop!"

Just then, a clear voice suddenly rang out.

A woman in white fell from the sky and stood in front of the man in black.

"Who are you?" Chu Ze looked at the woman in white and frowned slightly.

"I am the Holy Maiden of the Western Regions, Bai Ling'er." The woman in white said calmly.

"Saintess of the Western Regions?" Chu Ze sneered, "Why are you coming to my palace instead of staying in your Western Regions?"

"I'm here to stop this war." Bai Ling'er said calmly.

"Stop the war?" Chu Ze laughed disdainfully, "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk about stopping the war?"

"I'm not speaking nonsense." Bai Ling'er said firmly, "This war is not good for either of us. How about we just stop now?"

"Stop?" Chu Ze laughed loudly, "Do you think I am afraid of you Western Region demons?"

"I'm not trying to scare you, but to make you understand that this war is meaningless." Bai Ling'er said calmly.

"How dare you!" Chu Ze shouted angrily, "How dare you be so rude to me!"

"I'm not being rude, I'm just telling the truth." Bai Ling'er said neither servilely nor arrogantly, "This war will only cause great suffering to the people and make their lives miserable. As the king of a country, can you bear to see such a situation happen?"

Chu Ze fell silent after hearing this.

He had to admit that Bai Ling'er's words did make some sense.

This war is indeed meaningless.

However, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how could he bow his head so easily?

"Go away." Chu Ze said lightly, "I don't want to be your enemy." "Thank you, Your Majesty." Bai Ling'er smiled slightly, turned and left.

Looking at Bai Ling'er's departing back, a complicated look flashed in Chu Ze's eyes.

Who exactly is this Saint Girl from the Western Regions?

Why is she here?
What is her purpose?
Chu Ze's heart was full of doubts.

"Your Majesty, this woman cannot be kept!" the man in black suddenly said.

"Why?" Chu Ze asked.

"She is full of tricks, so we must be on guard!" said the man in black, "If Your Majesty does not get rid of her, there will be endless troubles!"

Chu Ze heard this, pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head.

"Forget it, I will let her go for now." Chu Ze said, "If she dares to appear in front of me again, I will never let her go!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" the man in black said hurriedly.

Chu Ze glanced at the man in black lying on the ground, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

"Someone, drag him away and put him in the Sky Prison!" Chu Ze said coldly.

"Yes, sir!" Two guards stepped forward and dragged the man in black away.

Chu Ze stood alone in the imperial garden, looking up at the sky, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

The Western Region demon tribe, a million-strong army...

This will be an unprecedented challenge.

Can I really defeat them?
A trace of confusion flashed across Chu Ze's eyes.

Chu Ze stood with his hands behind his back, staring into the distance. The Western Regions demon tribe, a million-strong army, this was indeed an unprecedented challenge for him. He took a deep breath, and a kingly aura arose spontaneously. Who was he, Chu Ze? The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty! How could he be frightened by such a small matter?
"Come here!" Chu Ze gave an order, and the eunuch chief Li Dequan immediately bowed and appeared, "What do you want, Your Majesty?"

"Pass on my order and summon all the generals to the Hall of Supreme Harmony for discussions!" Chu Ze's voice was filled with unquestionable majesty.

"Yes, sir!" Li Dequan took the order and left.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, all the civil and military officials gathered together, and the atmosphere was solemn. The news of the invasion of the Western Regions demon tribe had spread throughout the court and the officials were discussing it and were very worried.

Chu Ze walked like a tiger, climbed onto the dragon throne, glanced at the ministers, and a powerful aura instantly enveloped the entire hall.

"My dear ministers, I believe you all have heard about the invasion of the demon tribe from the Western Regions." Chu Ze's voice was deep and powerful. "I have summoned you all here today to discuss countermeasures."

Zhang Henian, the Minister of War, was the first to step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the demon tribe in the Western Region is extremely ferocious and powerful. We must be fully prepared to resist their attack."

"Are you fully prepared?" Chu Ze sneered. "My Ming soldiers are all brave warriors who can defeat ten enemies with one. Why should we be afraid of those monster bastards?"

"Your Majesty, I am not trying to boost others' morale or destroy my own prestige." Zhang Henian explained hurriedly, "It's just that the number of monsters in the Western Regions is huge, and we have to be on guard!"

"So what if they are numerous?" Chu Ze said disdainfully, "I have a million troops, so why should I be afraid of them?"

"Your Majesty, I think we should first send out a vanguard force to find out the enemy situation and then make plans," said Wang Shouren, the Minister of Revenue.

"Find out the enemy's situation?" Chu Ze snorted coldly, "My army has always taken the initiative to attack. When did we need to find out the enemy's situation?"

"Your Majesty, as the art of war says, if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger..." Wang Shouren wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Chu Ze.

"Enough!" Chu Ze shouted angrily, "I have made up my mind. Tomorrow I will personally lead the army to conquer the Western Regions!"

"Your Majesty, you can't do this!" The ministers all tried to dissuade him.

"Why not?" Chu Ze asked back.

"Your Majesty is worth a fortune, how can you take risks so easily?" Zhang Henian said. (End of this chapter)
