Wang’an City, inside the Imperial Palace’s Harmony Hall.
"Boom!"
The heavy and luxurious imperial desk was overturned by Emperor Jianyuan, causing a resounding crash.
Emperor Jianyuan was enraged beyond measure, drawing his sword and hacking the desk into pieces.
"Huang Tianli, you fool! Idiot! Utterly stupid waste! Scum! Trash! Damn you! Damn you! Damn you!"
Emperor Jianyuan, still not appeased, shattered the dragon chair behind him and the armrest on the platform.
He received the Yan State battle report three hours after Huang Tianli’s death.
The detailed report came in the ninth hour after the complete conclusion of the Battle of Black Gold Mountain.
The Police Pool of Blood’s spies in Yan State employed a ’Gold Feathered Pigeon’ to report every detail of the Black Gold Mountain battle to Wang’an City.
Emperor Jianyuan had already erupted in rage once half a day ago.
Now, he was still in a fury, deeply enraged.
This time, Yan State Giant Spirit suffered disastrous losses. Not only were over 2 million elite soldiers annihilated at Black Gold Mountain, but countless strong practitioners also perished.
Two super-grade Warlords from Buzhou Mountain were killed.
Among the First Grade, more than ten perished, including Huang Tianli. None of the First Grade strong practitioners from various tribes who participated in the battle managed to escape.
Moreover, it is said that those who went to Iron State to restrain Chu Xisheng remain uncontacted, likely encountering mishaps.
Emperor Jianyuan could not help but be furious.
Although the heavy casualties were mainly the Night Wolf Tribe and their Yan State Slave Tribe, the biggest impact was on the grand situation of the Divine Continent.
It can be said that in this battle, the backbone of the Yan State Giant Spirit has been utterly broken.
The native races of Yan State can no longer stop the advance of the Ice State Army.
Their forces will soon be completely wiped out by Qin Muge.
Yan State is strategically located; once under Qin Muge’s control, more than half of the Northern Territory border concerns are settled.
They can command the situation, controlling the Ice State and Juezhou to the east, and pressuring the Cold State and Lie Province to the west, leaving the Yuan Yi Clan Giant Spirit afraid to act rashly.
Even though there is still the Shuangzhou in the northeast, it can only pose minimal restraint.
The Night Wolf Tribe of Shuangzhou, already severely weakened in the Night Wolf Imperial Court’s downfall battle, barely has any strength left.
Furthermore, between Shuangzhou and the Ice State lies the core area of the three-thousand-mile-wide Endless Icefield.
Any army over 100,000 would find it extremely difficult to cross this uninhabited zone.
This means that soon, Qin Muge could integrate four million, or even up to five million elite border armies, and descend south from You State to the Central Plains.
"Idiot!"
The ire within Emperor Jianyuan’s chest still could not be fully vented.
He threw aside the longsword in his hand.
The sword shattered the Harmony Hall’s doors and then landed at the center of the Han white jade Square in front of the hall, creating a web-like series of cracks.
Huang Tianli, this idiot, imbecile!
Could he not have just conducted guerrilla warfare smoothly with the Ice State Army?
This was a good opportunity, but it wasn’t necessary to stake everything.
Initially deploying tens of thousands of men to probe would not harm the core, but if they won, even annihilating just a few thousand of the Ice State Army would invigorate the people of Yan State.
But this utterly foolish scum, he wagered all his chips, losing everything completely!
"Calm your anger, Your Majesty!"
The State Preceptor Yu Kunlun stood below the throne steps.
He had hurried to the Palace City after receiving the bad news.
He had remained silent, focusing on the Yan State battle report.
It was not until Emperor Jianyuan’s anger slightly subsided that Yu Kunlun spoke solemnly: "Your Majesty, Chu Xisheng has already mastered the fourth form of the Divine Intent Touch Death Blade, the Divine Mirror Sky Blade. Many of our plans need to be revised. The Battle of Black Gold Mountain will certainly shock the world and unsettle people’s hearts. We need to consider how to respond."
The current situation has become so dire that even he couldn’t maintain his calm.
"How can I change the plan?"
Emperor Jianyuan smiled bitterly and sat down at the top of the throne steps.
"This form of the Divine Mirror Sky Blade is something that even Grand Ancestor and Grand Emperor couldn’t handle, and we fear there is nothing we can do. Unless the Divine Tribulation is initiated early, involving the Eternal Gods to send Chu Xisheng and his wife to the west."
At this moment, any joy of his promotion to super-grade was completely gone.
Only a trace of fear rose in his heart.
Qin and Chu’s connection, the sun setting over the West Mountain—
This couple has already become his major threat.
"Not necessarily."
Yu Kunlun squinted his eyes: "Chu Xisheng hasn’t reached the cultivation level of the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord in the past, and his Heavenly Rules are not yet perfect. Even during the time of Blood Vengeance, the Divine Mirror Sky Blade was not invincible.
In the past, the One Sword Overturning City Wen Zhiyi and the first-generation Duke Wei, Chu Lingxi, successfully restrained the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord. They relied on Heavenly Rules stronger than Blood Vengeance’s."
Once these words were out, a strange look appeared in Yu Kunlun’s eyes.
Wen Zhiyi is a mortal enemy of Daning, and that ninth descendant of Chu Lingxi has inherited the blade skills of Blood Vengeance.
As Yu Kunlun finished speaking, a female voice came from the right side of the hall.
It was Imperial Concubine Zhuang.
Sitting below the platform, her once alluringly beautiful face now appeared somewhat sinister and fierce.
Even Zhuang’s originally tender and melodious voice sounded as if mixed with sand, imbued with endless kill intent: "We must not let Chu Xisheng advance his cultivation any further!"
Chu Xisheng has already mastered the fourth form of the Divine Intent Touch Death Blade, the ’Divine Mirror Sky Blade’.
Therefore, has he mastered the third form that restrains both the world and the Kun Erzu?
With his hand on his chin, Emperor Jianyuan pondered aloud: "Indeed, we can’t let him continue to rise. The problem is, no one knows to what extent his cultivation has reached. Some say it’s at Fourth Grade Lower, while others think he’s reached Fourth Grade Upper; no one has seen it, though it should not be Third Grade yet."
