Chapter 1041: Chapter 1036: Attack on Xuanyue Heaven

Above the Void.

The one-armed old man’s forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

He began to panic a little. Although the momentum from the Qin Dynasty’s ministers wasn’t directed at him, if the ’Heavenly Guardians’ couldn’t hold out and died, then everything would be irreparable.

"Stop!"

Just as the ’Heavenly Guardians’ were on the brink of death, the figure of Qin Wudao appeared, commanding with authority.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The terrifying momentum instantly dissipated.

Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Xiao He, and others quickly paid their respects, full of reverence.

"Rise!"

Qin Wudao gestured with both hands for the ministers to stand, then walked to the one-armed old man, clasped his hands, and said, "Greetings, senior!"

In life, one must know gratitude.

The one-armed old man had helped him several times; he could not forget this kindness.

"The Ancestor is convening a high-level meeting of the human race this time to discuss... Alas! Emperor Qin, truthfully tell this old man, were the ten billion celestial citizens of the Xuan Yue Dynasty killed by the Qin Dynasty?"

The one-armed old man stared directly at Qin Wudao, asking solemnly.

"Senior, do you trust me?"

Qin Wudao turned and looked at the vast world.

The one-armed old man followed his gaze towards the prosperous Great Profound Sky universe, and after a moment of silence, he nodded heavily, resolutely saying, "I believe!"

He believed in Qin Wudao.

Because the prosperity and wealth of the Qin Dynasty gave him the answer.

In the Qin Dynasty, there was a fairness rare in the martial world.

Under Qin Wudao’s governance, children from humble backgrounds could enter academies to study without any cost, and as long as they worked hard, they could rise above others.

Under Qin Wudao’s governance, the aristocracy dared not act arrogantly, and a comprehensive legal system greatly guaranteed the human rights of ordinary people.

Most commendable was the Qin Dynasty’s clean governance, with ministers who had the world in their hearts.

The monarchs and ministers of Qin were united in a singular dream: to make every Qin citizen a dragon among men.

Such a nation could not possibly harm the innocent.

And certainly not ten billion celestial citizens.

"Senior, let me go with you to the Ancestor Hall!"

Qin Wudao turned around, his face breaking into a bright smile.

In contrast, the one-armed old man hesitated. He knew some high-ranking members of the human race were dissatisfied with Qin Wudao, so this trip would inevitably encounter exclusion, hostility, or even humiliation.

"My dear ministers, the innocence of We and the Qin Dynasty needs to be clarified by you!"

Without waiting for the one-armed old man to speak, Qin Wudao addressed his ministers, his tone carrying a hint of menace.

"As you command!"

Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Xiao He, and others bowed.

"Let’s go!"

After speaking to the one-armed old man, Qin Wudao tapped his toes against the ground and transformed into a stream of light, leaving the Great Profound Sky universe.

Following closely behind were Dian Wei and Xu Chu, their fierce aura surging, suppressing the heavens.

"Alas!"

The one-armed old man’s mouth opened slightly as if he had something to say, but in the end, he sighed, swept up the unconscious ’Heavenly Guardians’ members, and disappeared from sight.

This matter had become... troublesome!

He didn’t know if things would spiral out of control in the end.

After everyone left, the ministers of the Qin Dynasty finally stood upright, fists clenched, their expressions exceedingly grim.

"Things don’t look good!"

Jia Xu gazed skyward, his eyes flashing with endless ice and malice.

The fact that the Ancestor sent the ’Heavenly Guardians’ indicated that the Xuan Yue Dynasty had succeeded in filing a grievance.

They had done nothing, yet became the murderers everyone wanted to attack and even had their monarch summoned. The Qin Dynasty had never suffered such humiliation!

"Xuan Yue must be destroyed!"

"Kill!"

Li Ru and Nie Zheng said with ashen faces, their eyes cold, emitting endless killing intent, causing the void to shatter and all laws to retreat.

A monarch’s humiliation is the ministers’ death!

In their eyes, Qin Wudao was a supreme and virtuous ruler, now slandered and wrongfully made a murderer, it was their dereliction of duty.

If they failed, they must find a way to make amends.

Therefore.

The Xuan Yue Dynasty must be destroyed.

The majesty of the Qin emperor brooked no challenge.

"Tell me the specifics?"

Guo Jia looked at the three, ready to understand the details.

"Prime Minister Guo, this matter begins with the Azure Origin Sky universe..."

Jia Xu nodded and began to recount the details.

Guo Jia listened carefully, his expression calm, steady as a mountain even in collapse. After Jia Xu finished speaking, he slowly said, "Everything began with Xuan Yue, and thus must also end with Xuan Yue..."

...

All Clans Hall.

In the suspended grand hall.

"Emperor Master, the latest intelligence reports that Qin Wudao has already headed to the Ancestor Hall. The initial objective of the ’Shattered Garment Plan’ has been achieved, and soon the human race will be in chaos!"

Bai Ze entered, holding intelligence, a slight smile on his face, walking briskly.

"One month!"

"As long as the human race remains in turmoil for one month, we win!"

Emperor Tian sat at the top, clad in a golden robe, exuding majestic imperial might that made the void submit and all clans prostrate themselves.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze smiled slightly. A month later, the All Clans Hall would establish the Demon Court, and by that time, they could expel karmic matters, greatly enhancing their power, and thus attack the human race.

Then he thought for a moment and said, "However, our plan has a flaw, and that is the Xuan Yue Dynasty!"

Emperor Tian frowned, his eyes flashed with two great suns, and he said in a deep voice, "You mean the Qin Dynasty will attack the Xuan Yue Dynasty?"

Bai Ze nodded.

In fact, the Xuan Yue Dynasty was a key pawn of the ’Shattered Garment Plan,’ their ties were extremely close.

Once the Qin Dynasty attacked the Xuan Yue Dynasty, they would surely find useful evidence.

"If that’s the case, then activate all of the dark pieces of the All Clans Hall. I refuse to believe that the plans of the All Clans Hall, spanning several epochs, cannot withstand the Qin Dynasty for a month!"

After a moment of contemplation, Emperor Tian said wildly with a full face.

Then, before Bai Ze’s eyes, he took out a blood-colored stone, crushed it with force, and sent out millions of pieces of information.

Instantly.

In the universe, countless martial artists opened their eyes. Some were leaders of factions, others were high-ranking members of forces, and some were powerful lone warriors...

They all held different identities, but had one common trait.

They were pawns of the All Clans Hall.

...

"Attacking the Xuan Yue Dynasty?"

Within the Imperial Capital, after hearing Guo Jia’s plan, many ministers were astonished.

The Xuan Yue Dynasty!

That was one of the eight major dynasties of the human race!

It had rendered great war merits for the human race. If troops were dispatched for attack and their assumptions proved wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Indeed!"

"Attack Xuan Yue!"

"Regardless of whether our assumptions are incorrect, the Xuan Yue Dynasty must pay the price for framing us!"

Guo Jia declared definitively.

After speaking, he looked at Zhuge Liang and Xiao He. As per convention, when the monarch was abroad, such significant matters as declaring war required discussion among the triarchs.

"Support!"

Xiao He nodded without much thought and said.

"How many will be dispatched?"

Zhuge Liang asked, raising his eyelids slightly.

"All of them!"

Guo Jia stated calmly, with endless killing intent laced in his tone.

"Then do it!"

"Spread the word, anyone who obstructs Qin’s search for the truth will be killed without mercy!"

Zhuge Liang’s eyes narrowed as he said fiercely, his expression exceedingly grim.
