Chapter 922

That was the only Sacred Domain voice in the Star Fall Empire!

"My Lord, let me handle this."

After the Church's Holy Son spoke, he raised his voice and addressed the Princess:

"Our target is the Eternal Night Empire; we harbor no ill will toward the Flame Empire. The Great Snow Mountains stretch endlessly; to detour, we must cross them. If we cross them, countless warriors of my God will perish. Better that they die on the battlefield. If your nation will grant us passage, we offer fifty million gold coins!"

The Church's Holy Son's voice was equally flat.

Yet his words carried another meaning beneath.

To cross the Great Snow Mountains would cost many of their warriors' lives—so why not let them die fighting the Flame Empire?

Of course, this meaning was subtle.

The Princess feigned not hearing it, still speaking in a calm tone: "The Flame Empire will not grant passage. Any foreign army stepping onto Flame Empire soil is an act of war!"

As she spoke, magic surged around the Princess; with a light lift of her hand, she drew up a transparent line from the Flame Empire's border.

The line stretched from the ground to the sky, forming a transparent wall.

This wall had no defensive power.

But it represented the Flame Empire's border.

"War? Hah!"

At that moment, the Huapaozhu Sect's Lord laughed—he had said nothing until now.

"I'd like to see what courage a tiny Flame Empire has to declare war on the Star Fall Empire!"

After speaking, the Huapaozhu Sect's Lord flew near the line the Princess had drawn, raised his foot, and prepared to step across.

The Princess watched him calmly, her expression unchanged.

Just as the Huapaozhu Sect's Lord was about to step across, a deafening howl erupted in his ears!

He snapped his head up—and saw a colossal object hurtling down from the sky.

"Boom!"

Before he could react, the colossal object slammed into the Great Snow Mountains below, shaking the ground.
