Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 307 - 305: Peace Negotiation Requests from Two Nations
Early the next morning, Xia Feng received a war report sent over by Feng Yu.
The Death Empire and the Demon Empire were experiencing some chaos, with many people dying inexplicably, and there was a disquieting atmosphere forming.
Xia Feng’s heart skipped a beat, a foreboding feeling emerged in his mind.
Just as he was holding the war report and preparing to head to the White Tiger Empire, Gu Sha and Chen Hongyu arrived together.
After a night of contemplation, Gu Sha’s expression was much calmer: "Emperor’s Son, I am willing to return to the Great Xia for reflection."
He lowered his head, his face seemed to blush either from shame or possibly from anger.
But Xia Feng didn’t have time to worry about these things now, he frowned and spoke: "Stay in the Vermilion Bird Empire on standby for now."
After hesitating for a moment, he added: "Chen Hongyu stays on standby with you."
He initially wanted to take Chen Hongyu with him, but thinking about it, leaving only Gu Sha might lead to issues.
So, it’s better to leave Chen Hongyu as well, to avoid larger problems later.
After speaking, he quickly headed out of the city.
Taking out the Spirit Light Ark here wasn’t convenient, Chen Hongyu observed his rapid speech and anxious expression and instinctively asked, "Did something happen somewhere?"
Xia Feng frowned: "The issue is with the Western Continent, I need to go there, you guard this place well."
Pausing here, he added: "Perhaps when I return next time, we can all go home."
After saying so, he summoned the Spirit Light Flying Boat from his palm and traversed through space on it.
Gu Sha was momentarily stunned, then turned to inquire Chen Hongyu: "What did the Emperor’s Son mean by that?"
Chen Hongyu furrowed his brows, also looking towards the Western Continent: "Yesterday, the Emperor’s Son mentioned something was unsettled with those two countries in the Western Continent."
"And now, receiving the war report from Feng Yu early in the morning and immediately leaving, I fear something must have happened to those two empires."
Gu Sha’s expression became anxious: "But the Emperor’s Son didn’t even take any soldiers, the White Tiger has at most a million soldiers, even including the original White Tiger soldiers, still not enough two million, how can we fight those two empires?"
Chen Hongyu patted his shoulder: "All right, the Emperor’s Son will consider things himself, we just need to follow orders and guard the Southern Continent obediently."
As soon as Xia Feng quickly traversed to the top of the White Tiger Imperial Capital, he retrieved the Spirit Light Flying Boat and urgently inquired the arriving Feng Yu.
"What’s really going on? The report is vague."
Feng Yu frowned tightly: "A lot of people in the Demon Empire and Death Empire died, especially many civilians and soldiers."
"According to spies, they all exploded suddenly like those soldiers who died by the seaside, doesn’t seem voluntary."
"Hence, at the first sign of news, I sent the war report to the Emperor’s Son."
The worry on his face didn’t seem fake: "I can’t tell if it’s my illusion, but after those people died, there appeared two unsettling auras in the west of the Western Continent."
Xia Feng nodded, he also sensed those two auras, not only unpleasant, but also nauseating.
Like eating ice-cold watermelon in summer but biting into...
Forget it, better change the analogy.
Like after a day of hard battle, getting ready to rest back in the camp, only to find your roommate sleeping with inside-out thermal pants against the wall.
Just one glance makes you want to beat them up.
At this moment, a Magic Beast resembling a bat with two sharp horns on its head flew over carrying a scroll of sheepskin.
Feng Yu’s eyes flashed with anger, and he raised his hand to kill the bat with a small whirlwind.
He shouted angrily outside with eyes blazing: "Where are the guards?"
"A bat so big got in and no one noticed?"
A trembling guard stood at the door: "Marshal Feng, this is an envoy sent by the Demon Empire, it showed identification at the entrance, that’s why I let it in."
Feng Yu’s anger ceased abruptly, but soon returned with a touch of disgust.
"Other countries’ envoys are of the Human Race, what did we get, a Magic Beast?"
Xia Feng squatted to examine the bat’s structure, shrugging: "Not Beast Race, but Demon Race."
Feng Yu looked puzzled, but Xia Feng had no intention to explain, he picked up the sheepskin scroll from the ground.
The moment it opened, a bunch of Demon Fire and Nether Fire started burning.
Watching the merger of green and black flames emitting a ghostly light, Xia Feng truly felt nauseous.
It seemed to emit an overwhelming rancid smell, merely lingering near him was enough to make him want to vomit.
He forcibly suppressed his nausea and used Divine Sense to receive the message inside.
Feng Yu paused: "What’s the news? Was it wrong to kill their envoy?"
Xia Feng patted his shoulder: "No problem, just bury it."
"Just aliens."
With that, he entered the main tent.
He actually wanted to enter the Dream Realm Pearl to ask Xiao Qingxue about details regarding the Demon Realm and Netherworld.
But considering they had not long been to the Divine Domain, asking too much might arouse suspicion.
After pondering for a long time, he refrained from entering, instead pinching his forehead and reflecting on the information just received.
Feng Yu caught on and dismissed the surrounding guard soldiers, then lifted the tent flap to follow inside.
"Emperor’s Son, is the news from inside not good?"
Xia Feng looked at him: "The Demon Emperor and Death Emperor want to negotiate at Death Canyon tomorrow, as a peace request."
A chill spread in Feng Yu: "Isn’t that good news? Why does the Emperor’s Son’s expression seem not good?"
He cautiously added: "Is it bad because I killed their envoy?"
Xia Feng rolled his eyes, leaning back in the chair: "Don’t overthink, just an envoy, what’s the harm in losing a few while negotiating with Great Xia."
"If they’re here to make peace, don’t act so arrogantly, I just feel they’ve come with ill motives this time."
Feng Yu paused: "Then how many people is the Emperor’s Son planning to bring for negotiation tomorrow?"
"If you need me, I’ll have the soldiers prepared well tonight."
Xia Feng shook his head at these words.
Death Canyon is at the junction of the Death Empire and Demon Empire, it’s barren and uninhabited.
If they truly wanted negotiation, their intentions would roughly be written in the peace proposal, and a more prosperous place would be chosen.
If sincere, they could even visit personally, or take action and report later.
But those two empires chose a location that doesn’t seem for proper negotiation, rather a secluded spot easy for foul play.
Coincidentally, Xia Feng thinks the same.
