Chapter 223: A disaster for the human race

Inside the palace of the Sassan Dynasty.

Empress Sassan Alisha sat on the throne, wearing a golden crown on her head, her posture straight, like a noble statue.

Her skin was as white and delicate as ivory, revealing a faint luster, as if moonlight were sprinkled upon her body.

Her features were as exquisite as a painting, her nose bridge high and straight, her lips as bright and beautiful as rose petals; when pursed slightly, they revealed an unquestionable coldness.

Her figure was beautiful, her curves were exquisite, and the golden lion robe fit her figure, outlining her full chest and slender waist.

Although she was young and beautiful, with a peerless appearance, none of the court officials dared to look directly at her face.

Because she is the most authoritative existence in this country; court officials who dare to have any offensive actions toward her will be subjected to extreme punishment.

But at this moment, Alisha's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her expression was angry.

The ministers stood in the palace, all trembling, fearing that this Empress would bring down heavenly might.

Standing at the very front of the ministers was a middle-aged man in a black robe; he was her confidant and also the National Teacher of the Sassan Dynasty, a Sage Realm powerhouse, Mo Lei.

Mo Lei was a Sage Realm expert cultivated by the Sassan family and also belonged to the Sassan family.

He was very loyal to the Sassan family, especially to the Empress, and was even more loyal.

The person who went to the Taihua Sword Sect to bewitch Youhen Zunzhe last time was him.

Mo Lei's status in the Sassan Dynasty was very high and was also a helper for the Empress to rule the Sassan Dynasty.

The reason why the Empress was so angry today was that before the great war had even begun, the May Tian Ce Dynasty had issued an ultimatum, which was a persuasion-to-surrender notice.

Originally, Li Chen's meaning was to let the Empress and the Sassan family surrender, so as to avoid the suffering of living beings being charred.

This statement was relatively formal and also like the demeanor of an emperor of a great nation.

But the problem was, the circulation of news is done by people; Mo Lei, in order to stimulate the people's resistance passion and to anger the Empress, directly indicated that Li Chen said in the ultimatum: as long as the Empress is willing to become his slave dog, he will spare the Sassan Dynasty, otherwise he will definitely make the Sassan Dynasty's living beings charred.

If Li Chen heard this, he might be a bit confused; when did I make such a request?

When such words are spoken, how could the Empress not be angry? She is a supreme Sage Realm powerhouse; how could she suffer such an insult?

Not only him, but the entire Sassan family was burning with anger, swearing to give Li Chen a bloody lesson.

This is also why the Empress was so angry at the morning court today.

"Your Majesty, the May Tian Ce Dynasty's army has approached our border, and Li Chen is personally holding the fort; the situation is not optimistic."

A general said in a low voice, his tone carrying a trace of worry.

Alisha snorted coldly, a cold light flashing in her eyes: "Li Chen? He thinks that by relying on the power of the May Tian Ce Dynasty, he can easily annex my Sassan Dynasty? How ridiculous! Pass the order down, summon the heads of the four major families; I want to personally deploy the defense."

It seems Alisha intends to compete with Li Chen on the battlefield!

National Teacher Mo Lei hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Your Majesty, the four major families are full of contradictions, especially the Karl family and the Farah family; they have always been dissatisfied with your rule. If they secretly collude with Li Chen, I'm afraid..."

As the National Teacher, Mo Lei should know that other families have also received the ultimatum given by Li Chen.

The interior of the Sassan family is relatively easy to control; with two Sage Realm experts holding the fort, the interior is definitely stable; it's just that it's not certain about other families; he is worried that these families will betray.

Alisha waved her hand, interrupting his words: "No need to say more; although the four major families have their own thoughts, at the time of the Sassan Dynasty's survival, they will not be stupid enough to reach this point."

The reason why she said this was also to stabilize the hearts of the court officials and also to express her trust in other families.

Because among the court officials, there are many people from the four major families.

Alisha just wants to tell everyone that we are all people on the same boat; don't make trouble at this time.

Seeing the Empress say this, Mo Lei didn't say anything more.

The court officials started discussing how to deploy defense.

Initially, many military generals were not optimistic about the Empress personally leading the expedition, but the emperor on the opposite side personally led the expedition, and Li Chen is a Sage Realm expert, which is known to all.

If the Empress doesn't go, the combat power of the soldiers at the front will decline.

So the Empress going to the front line to supervise the battle is actually a good thing.

But the problem is, Alisha doesn't listen much to the opinions of the ministers; if she acts arbitrarily by then, it will be troublesome.

You must know that Alisha is young; even if she has cultivated to this point, military fighting is not just talking on paper.

Unless the Empress has Li Chen's 'military talent', otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.

This is also why the generals of the Sassan Dynasty are not optimistic about Alisha personally leading the expedition.

Actually, Li Chen's military talent is publicized; he basically doesn't care about the war.

Precisely because of this, the soldiers all say his military talent is unparalleled in the world.

On the other side, the head of the Karl family, Karl Azman, was sitting in his mansion, playing with a golden token in his hand, his eyes flashing with complex light.

"Clan Head, the May Tian Ce Dynasty's envoy has secretly arrived; they are willing to support you in becoming the new Sassan King." A confidant said in a low voice.

Azman sneered: "Li Chen's ambition is indeed not small, but he thinks that by relying on a few empty words, he can make me sell my life for him? How naive!"

The confidant hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously: "Then what does the Clan Head mean..."

Azman narrowed his eyes, his tone cold: "Wait and see; if the allied forces of the four major families cannot resist the May Tian Ce Dynasty's offensive, we will consider whether to defect. As for the Farah family and the Nasser family, they will not sit still and wait for death either; the outcome of this war is not yet decided!"

At the same time, the head of the Farah family, Farah Ibn, also received a secret letter from the May Tian Ce Dynasty.

He sat in the study, his gaze deep, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

"Clan Head, should we respond to the May Tian Ce Dynasty's proposal?" An elder asked in a low voice.

Ibn was silent for a moment and spoke slowly: "Li Chen is a person of martial prowess, and in the war with the Snow Eagle Royal Court, he also kept his promise, but just one sentence wants me to defect? It's a bit too look-down-on-people. Even if the Sassan family's rule is already corrupt, it's not a reason for us to betray."

This elder listened and was dizzy; Clan Head, do you want to surrender or not? Give a clear answer.

Ibn rolled his eyes at this elder; can't you even hear this?

Actually, Ibn and Azman's thoughts were the same, feeling that Li Chen had no sincerity; just one sentence wants us to surrender, why!

Without any benefits, who would surrender? And the price must satisfy our needs; only if the price is high enough and the things given are enough will we consider it, and even then, it's just considering.

In this world, the leaders of many forces are profit-oriented; without profit, no one will bow their heads.

But Li Chen doesn't spoil them; I am just giving you a chance to survive; you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me.

With Li Chen's status and position, he won't reason with these people.

And in the mansion of the Nasser family, Clan Head Nasser Hassan was standing by the window, looking at the distant sky, his expression serious.

"Clan Head, the May Tian Ce Dynasty's envoy has secretly contacted us; they are willing to support us in becoming the new Sassan King." A confidant said in a low voice.

Hassan sneered: "Li Chen's abacus is indeed loud; although our Nasser family's strength is relatively weak, we are not chess pieces to be manipulated by others."

As he spoke, Hassan changed his clothes and prepared to participate in the four-clan meeting convened by the Empress. The Sassan Dynasty is not a small country, and its military strength in the surrounding area is second only to the May Tian Ce Dynasty.

In their view, even if they cannot capture the May Tian Ce Dynasty's territory, it is not an easy thing for the May Tian Ce Dynasty to capture them.

In the camp of the May Tian Ce Dynasty, the soldiers had been on the road for a day and had already crossed the border, arriving in the territory of the Sassan Dynasty.

What was surprising was that the Sassan Dynasty's proud demonic beast legions did not appear in the battle to intercept the May Tian Ce Dynasty's main army.

Those who came to intercept were all small units, which were defeated in minutes.

Guo Poyun was suspicious that the Sassan Dynasty was brewing some special tactics.

The four major demonic beast legions are the absolute main force of the Sassan Dynasty; as long as they are defeated, the Sassan Dynasty basically has no power to resist.

In the camp, Li Chen, who was taking a nap, suddenly opened his eyes.

A terrifying energy was emitted without warning, attracting the attention of countless powerhouses around.

Mu Qingrou beside him looked around alertly and then asked: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

!

Mu Qingrou was single anyway; she didn't need to hide her relationship with Li Chen now, and others could understand.

Lady Youlan was relatively reserved; only when she was alone with Li Chen would she be intimate with Li Chen; otherwise, she would keep a certain distance.

Sensing the strange fluctuations emitted from Li Chen, Mu Qingrou thought Li Chen had suffered a special attack.

Because there are many cultivation methods in this world; some special cultivators can set up large arrays at a very long distance, connecting the consciousness of cultivators far away, thereby launching attacks and making people die silently.

At this time, powerhouses like True Person Wanfeng and Bi Luo Tianzun also came to Li Chen's camp to ask what happened.

Li Chen frowned and said: "I had a dream."

It sounds like a very ordinary thing, but the faces of the people around also began to become serious.

The emperor's dream often foreshadows what is about to happen.

Because the emperor is the Son of Heaven, to a certain extent, he is the bearer of the human race's destiny.

Not to mention an emperor like Li Chen, who possesses the power of heaven.

Then at special times, the emperor can peek at the secrets of heaven, which is peeking at the future.

If it were an ordinary dream, Li Chen would definitely not emit such fluctuations.

Everyone felt that Li Chen must have seen something in his dream.

True Person Wanfeng asked urgently: "Your Majesty, can you say what you saw in the dream?"

Others were also looking at Li Chen with expectant eyes.

Li Chen pondered for a moment and replied: "In the dream, I saw some creatures I had never seen before..."

In his description, there was a huge two-headed dragon; this guy possessed the power of different attributes, one head white and one head black, feeling like the skeleton that fell in the Sun Moon Dragon Clan's station.

There were also nine-headed lions, birds that blotted out the sky after spreading their wings, and apes taller than mountains.

When Li Chen said these, the people around were all a bit amazed, because what Li Chen said were powerful species that would only appear in ancient records; these creatures no longer exist in this world.

That bird that spread its wings, if nothing unexpected, is the Kunpeng.

More shocked than True Person Wanfeng and the others were the three Venerables of the Star Moon Cave.

Because the three of them knew Li Chen's ascension plan; if the seal of the Nine World-Suppressing Bronze Coffins was broken, then the myriad races would descend on this continent again.

Then Li Chen's dream should be foreshadowing that the myriad races would arrive.

Bi Luo Tianzun seemed to think of something and said: "Then Your Majesty, in this dream of yours, did you have any interaction with those ancient races?"

True Person Wanfeng also cared about this point; they were all types who were relatively good at fortune-telling.

If Li Chen was attacked by these ancient races, as long as Li Chen could say some details, they could calculate the arrival of the 'heaven and earth catastrophe', and then they could open up response measures.

Mu Qingrou and Lady Youlan were also very concerned about Li Chen's physical condition.

Li Chen pondered for a moment and replied: "Yes, they are very hard to eat."

Everyone: "..."

Although the words were simple, everyone had already imagined what Li Chen did in the dream.

Since ancient times, many emperors have dreamed of being attacked by ghosts and demons, so powerful cultivators would 'interpret the dream' for the emperor.

Listening to Li Chen's tone, it feels like you went to attack them?

It wasn't Li Chen going to attack them; Li Chen wasn't afraid even when dreaming.

Perhaps at this time, in the location of the myriad races, many powerhouses would also wake up, breaking out in a cold sweat, because in their dreams, a terrible guy slaughtered them.

Li Chen's statement made the people around look at each other, and for a time, they didn't know what to say.

Everyone was worried about you encountering danger, but you were the most dangerous one?

Bi Luo Tianzun and True Person Wanfeng, who were good at fortune-telling and dream interpretation, couldn't interpret this kind of dream either.

Li Chen muttered to himself: "I think I can make some recipes in the future; I was chewing dry in the dream, and it was hard to eat."

Many people didn't know what Li Chen was talking about.

Only the three Venerables of the Star Moon Cave knew that Li Chen was already prepared to eat through the myriad races before the war of the myriad races had even started.

I don't know if the opening of the plane ascension in the future will be a disaster for the human race or a disaster for the myriad races.

Since he was already awake, Li Chen planned to go out for a walk, and by the way, consider how to start his plan.

Because He Lan Xuan was in the military camp, plus him, Li Chen had ten Sage Realm experts under his command.

Li Chen brought them here not for sightseeing, but to see how powerful ten Sage Realm experts were.

The energy and meridian usage of the Sage Realm also have certain limits; even Li Chen, after fighting Tuoba Zhen for a day last time, had to go back and rest for a few days.

Then how to use the power of the Sage Realm is the problem Li Chen is considering at this stage.

What he wants to strike is the core of the enemy, which is the Empress of the Sassan Dynasty; as long as the Empress suffers a blow, the morale of the Sassan Dynasty will drop significantly.

But the problem is, where is the Empress? This is something no one knows.

The Sassan Dynasty has a large land area and many troops; it is said that the Empress has already left the capital of the Sassan Dynasty, but the place where the Empress is is indeed a mystery.

It's as if the Sassan Dynasty knows that Li Chen has arrived at the front line, but where Li Chen is, they couldn't possibly know either.

The Empress couldn't possibly be like Tuoba Zhen, daring to challenge Li Chen to a duel in front of the two armies.
