From Princess in the Cold Palace to Empress in Heaven

The middle-aged man slowly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Everyone...what you said makes sense, but this matter cannot be rushed. Allow me to report to His Majesty and we can discuss it further."

The man who was called the Marshal by the generals was the general of Daxia, Lin Wanqiu's father, Lin Zhengquan.

After Xiao Minghuang left, with the help of the King of Medicine, he successfully cured his hidden injuries and his cultivation continued to improve. Now he has entered the Spirit Transformation Realm and is the undisputed strongest man in the entire Southern Territory!

He did not agree with Emperor Xia's strategy of conquering the three states.

Daxia and the three states are thousands of miles apart and have always been in harmony. There is neither conflict of interest nor hatred. Why is there a need for conquest?

However, Emperor Xia insisted on doing so, and he had no choice but to lead his army to conquer the three states according to Emperor Xia's instructions.

After all, it was the emperor's will. As a minister, although he was more powerful than Emperor Xia, he could not take the lead in breaking the rules. Otherwise, there would be disorder between the upper and lower levels, moral decline, and the country would never have peace.

Therefore, although he was dissatisfied, he always carried out the will of Emperor Xia.

Then, Lin Zhengquan stood up and said in a deep voice: "Pass on my military order, the entire army will rest for three days!"

Upon hearing this, all the generals and servants were delighted and said in unison: "General, you are wise. We obey your orders!"

However, just as the messenger walked out of the tent, he was suddenly thrown back and rolled on the ground for several times before he could barely get up.

When he looked up, he unexpectedly saw a majestic man in a dragon robe.

He was so frightened that he trembled all over, fell to his knees, and couldn't even speak clearly.

"Your Majesty! Why are you here?"

"This general pays homage to His Majesty!"

Everyone saluted quickly.

The man was imposing without even getting angry, he was actually the Emperor of Daxia!

Emperor Xia did not say much, nor did he ask the generals to stand up. Instead, he said calmly, "I heard your discussion just now."

"What withdrawal..."

"What do you mean by returning to the court..."

"What peace talks and ceasefire..."

At this point, Emperor Xia's expression suddenly changed, a hint of anger appeared on his face, and he said sternly: "Conquering the three states is the national policy! Not to mention that the soldiers are tired and lack of food and grass, even if the army is wiped out! Even if everyone is dead! We must fight! Fight until the three states surrender!"

"If you don't fight, I will first throw you all into jail, and then I will beat you myself!"

All the generals were suddenly silent, not daring to breathe, except General Lin Zhengquan, who remained calm.

He was a cultivator at the Spirit Transformation Realm, the highest combat power in Da Xia. Even Emperor Xia was far inferior to him, and thus he was arrogant.

He also tried to persuade him: "Your Majesty, the soldiers are exhausted and lack of medicine and food. Why don't you rest for three days before marching again?"

The voice just fell.

Emperor Xia simply waved his hand, and a small golden seal flew out, instantly hovering above Lin Zhengquan's head. A strange wave vibrated out, enveloping his entire body.

Feeling the strange fluctuations coming from above his head, Lin Zhengquan's face suddenly changed.

He was horrified to find that he was unable to mobilize his spiritual power, and even his physical strength was completely unable to be exerted.

"Holy Lord, have mercy on me!"

Lin Zhengquan suddenly fell to his knees in panic. He had never imagined that Emperor Xia could take out such a magical weapon that could suppress all his spiritual power!

"This treasure was presented by the national master, it has infinite power!"

"I am here in person on the battlefield this time to lead the army and conquer the three states!"

"Wait, do you have anything else to say?!"

Emperor Xia looked down upon the generals around him with disdain.

"The Holy One is wise!"

Hearing this, all the generals and ministers were terrified and dared not continue to stop them.

Even a great general at the Spiritual Transformation Realm was directly suppressed by Emperor Xia. How could those of them at the Divine Sea Realm and the Origin Tai Realm have the confidence to say a word against him?

They knew very well that since the war began, Emperor Xia had become increasingly moody and often exterminated the three clans of his ministers who had made mistakes. If they angered the emperor, not only themselves, but even their entire family would suffer a catastrophic disaster.

Seeing this, Emperor Xia nodded in satisfaction and said calmly: "Okay, since the ministers have no objection, then pass on my order and the entire army will march out immediately to attack Qinzhou's capital, Qinyang City!"

Hearing this, Lin Zhengquan was shocked and felt desperate.

Qinzhou is the territory of the Li family, and Qinyang City is the base of the Li family. Although they have conquered many lands and people before, they are far away from Qinyang City, so the Li family can only send Yuantai realm cultivators to compete with them.

But once they get close to Qinyang City, the Li family will certainly be terrified and will definitely ask the ancestor in the Holy Academy who is in the state of transformation to return home.

He is only at the first level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, how can he be a match for the Li family's Spiritual Transformation Ancestor who has been practicing for a thousand years?

"A foolish ruler... a ruler who has brought chaos to the country! Great Xia is doomed!"

However, he could only think about these words in his heart and dared not say them out loud.

Facing the trembling generals and ministers, Emperor Xia smiled, and he finally regained some of his dignity as an emperor.

Then, he waved his sleeves, took back the small seal, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if the Li ancestor dares to come, I will kill him on the spot!"

Hearing this, all the generals and ministers looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Until someone shouted: "Your Majesty is so powerful and invincible! May God bring prosperity to our Great Xia!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the rest of the crowd immediately shouted "Long live the emperor".

"Your Majesty is unrivaled in divine power..."

Amidst the shouts of "Long live the emperor", the Great Xia army marched towards Qinzhou.

408. Homecoming

The new capital of Daxia.

A flying boat came from afar and stopped in the clouds above the imperial city.

There were several beautiful figures standing on the deck.

They are all beautiful and gorgeous.

Especially the woman in the lead, who was wearing a bright yellow dress, had skin as white as snow, and had black and shiny hair draped over her shoulders. She exuded a noble and elegant temperament, which made people feel like looking at the peak to calm down.

This is a stunning beauty.

"Your Highness, is this Xia Country?"

Luo Qianhua looked at the city under the clouds, at the busy mortals as small as ants, and then at Xiao Minghuang beside her, who was so beautiful that she looked like a banished immortal. She couldn't help feeling a sense of unreality.

Although she knew that His Highness came from a secular kingdom, she still found it incredible to see it with her own eyes.

"This should be the new capital of Daxia."

Xiao Minghuang's eyes quickly swept across the entire Xiadu and he spoke slowly.

When she left Daxia, the capital was only 20% of its current size.

“In just ten years, such a big change has happened.”

Ye Ruoshui sighed.

Her hometown is also the summer capital, and what she saw today filled her with emotion.

As for Xu Xiuer, her eyes have not yet healed, and she cannot see even if she wants to.

With the power of the soul, although it is possible to observe its shape, it is difficult to appreciate its artistic conception.

Xiao Minghuang had already made arrangements for this. She planned to use the Nine-Turn Soul-Calming Grass in her hand to treat Sheng Bailan, and use the compensation to treat Xu Xiuer's eye injury.

"Finally back... Let's go!"

Xiao Minghuang waved his hand gently, and flew down with Ye Ruoshui, Luo Qianhua, and Xu Xiuer, and acted separately.

Ye Ruoshui went back to the princess's mansion and packed up, as they were going to stay there for a few days.

Xu Xiuer missed her father and went straight back to Wu'an Palace.

Luo Qianhua had nowhere to go and originally planned to follow Xiao Minghuang, but when she heard that she was going to meet an old friend, she did not disturb her and chose to go to the princess's mansion with Ye Ruoshui first.

Then, Xiao Minghuang jumped down and landed in a hidden corner of the palace.

However, what she did not notice was that the moment she landed in the palace, a pale yellow light followed her silently.

...

at the same time.

Deep inside the imperial palace, inside a palace.

In the center of the palace, a bed made of ice jade was quietly placed.

A woman was lying on it.

The woman was wearing a white robe, with delicate features and beautiful eyebrows. Her eyes were closed, like a sleeping beauty.

Her breathing was very weak and she looked extremely haggard.

However, even so, it still cannot conceal her unparalleled beauty.

This woman was the head of the Lingjian Sect, one of the three major sects in the southern region - Sheng Bailan!

When Xiao Minghuang left, he set up a formation for this palace so that no one could enter.

The surroundings were also extremely quiet, as if isolated from the world.

However, it was unusually noisy at this time.

Outside the palace, a group of Taoists wearing dark green robes and with their hair tied in buns hurried over.

Each of them exudes a powerful aura, and their cultivation is above the Yuantai realm, with the highest even reaching the peak of the Huashen realm.

With such strength, not to mention dominating the southern border, it is even enough to sweep across the fifty states of Jinghe!

The Mirror River Fifty States is a big river that flows down from the Savage Mountains, passes through fifty states, and finally flows into the Endless Sea.

The fifty states through which the Jinghe River flows are collectively called the Jinghe Fifty States, including Nanjie, Qinzhou, Huazhou, Qizhou and many other states. What they have in common is that there are no saint realms in them. Among them, the most powerful Dongling Realm has only one king realm.

"Brother Ge, this formation is difficult to break. We have studied it for a long time but have found nothing. Please help us break the formation!"

A Taoist priest spoke and said respectfully to the Taoist priest with a long beard who was leading the group.

"It's the master's job, why bother asking for help?" Senior Brother Ge stroked his beard, then waved his hand, and a small golden seal flew out, emitting a sparkling golden light, as if to illuminate the formation covering the entire palace.

"this..."

Under the shining of the golden light of the small seal, the entire formation was activated, and a layer of silver-white film appeared, resisting the shining of the golden light of the small seal.

"Brother Ge, this formation is quite mysterious. We have been studying it for a long time, but we still can't figure it out..."

A Taoist suggested: "Although this formation is mysterious, given Senior Brother Ge's strength, why not break it with force?"

Ge Qian is the one with the highest realm among all the disciples of Taoist Siming. He has already reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm. With the Siming Seal bestowed by his master, he is able to compete with the King Realm.

Hearing this, a hint of worry flashed in Ge Qian's eyes. Asking him to break the formation with force, doesn't that mean that his attainments in formation are on the same level as those of his fellow disciples?

How could he be underestimated?

"It doesn't matter. It's just a sealing formation. I only need half a cup of tea to unlock it!"

After a cup of tea, a bead of sweat appeared on Ge Qian's forehead.

"This damn formation, I can't even figure it out!"

After studying it for a cup of tea, he did realize the origin of this formation. It was connected to the twenty-eight constellations in the four directions of the sky, and countless changes evolved from it. With his strength, he might have to enter the king realm to get a glimpse of it.

In other words, at the moment, we can only rely on the Sima Ming Seal to break the formation with force!

After all, the Sima Ming Seal is a holy magic weapon, so it is not difficult to break the formation in front of you.

"After I break the formation, I must collect the remaining formation patterns and figure out the secrets of this formation!"

Senior Brother Ge snorted coldly and threw the small seal of life in his hand out.

hum~

The small Sima Ming seal swelled in the wind and turned into an unmatched sharp blade. A dazzling golden light suddenly burst out and pierced the silver-white film.

Rumble~

Accompanied by a loud bang, the silver-white film shook continuously and finally shattered.
