Chapter 267

"Report, Commander, the Sea Clan army is attacking the city of Yan Hai, and generals in various regions are requesting support."

In Qingqiu City, a soldier was reporting in the palace of the Third Prince, Li Yu.

This Sea Clan attack looked like it had no warning, but actually, it had a certain amount of premeditation.

They should have intended to deal a heavy blow to the cultivation forces in the eastern part of the Heavenly Strategy Dynasty during the Sword Discussion Assembly, and then cooperate to launch an attack, capturing the cities in the coastal areas of the Heavenly Strategy Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Li Yu was waiting for this opportunity; he definitely had to send troops to suppress it, but he couldn't send the main force, just send some weak troops, creating a very difficult battle situation.

Then let the messenger report to the Imperial Capital to Li Chen; the purpose was to let Li Chen come personally to resist the enemy.

You are a Sage Realm Emperor who is good at fighting; when the country is in danger, you can't not come, right?

After this Sea Clan battle was fought, Li Yu could cooperate with Li Xian to get rid of Li Chen and seize the throne.

But what Li Yu didn't know was that Li Chen wasn't in the Imperial Capital at all, but in the nearby area.

Li Yu and Li Xian's layout was good, but who knew Li Chen didn't play according to the routine.

On the other side, the "Heavenly Sword Mountain Range" in the eastern part of the Heavenly Strategy Dynasty.

This was the station of the Misty Immortal Alliance, and the Sect Masters of the five major sword sects were warmly entertaining Li Chen.

Even if Qu Zhongxu was the leader, he could only sit in the secondary seat.

As long as Li Chen put out his identity, the position he sat in must be the main seat.

This was also the respect of the major sects of the Misty Immortal Alliance for him.

Of course, the premise of this respect was that Li Chen was definitely stronger than them, otherwise, why would they respect Li Chen.

Among the emperors of the past, it was not that there were no emperors who visited such sects. These powerful Sect Masters were willing to sit on an equal footing with the emperor, which was already considered looking up to the emperor.

Some Sect Masters even let the emperor sit in the secondary position; after all, this was their territory.

Li Chen's side was different; Li Chen letting them sit down was already considered a grace.

But if Li Chen was unhappy, they would have to stand and accompany him to drink.

This vividly embodied the survival of the fittest in this world.

The champion of the Sword Discussion Assembly, Luo Yong, and the secondary seat, Fang Qian, could only stand aside, not even having the qualification to sit.

Luo Yong was actually somewhat excited inside, because normally, his background and talent didn't qualify him to appear in such a place.

Fortunately, he encountered the greatest opportunity of the Heavenly Strategy Dynasty, and everything was developing in a good direction.

Fang Qian's gaze kept wandering between Li Chen and Luo Yong, to be precise, between Li Chen and the precious sword in Luo Yong's hand.

He always felt that when dueling with Luo Yong, there was a trace of the aura on His Majesty Li Chen.

Plus Luo Yong was a sword cultivator from the Imperial Capital, and his goal in the future was to serve as an official in the imperial court, so Fang Qian guessed that Luo Yong might know His Majesty Li Chen.

This could explain why His Majesty Li Chen appeared here.

"Brother Luo, was your sword intent learned from His Majesty?" Fang Qian asked curiously.

He learned sword techniques in his dreams, and according to the expert in his dreams, learning these sword techniques would make his sword intent unique in the world.

In the process of practicing alone, Fang Qian also repeatedly challenged across levels because of his superb sword techniques and turned danger into safety.

Sometimes, he suspected that the expert in his dream was a so-called immortal. When practicing in his dream, he also asked that mysterious person, but the mysterious person only said that sooner or later, they would meet.

This was also why Fang Qian was fearless when seeing any opponent during the competition.

But in the duel with Luo Yong, no matter what powerful sword intent he unleashed, his opponent happened to suppress him by a head, so he was defeated.

This question made Luo Yong somewhat confused; he was just a person holding a cheat, how would he know these things.

To express humility, Luo Yong had to answer: "His Majesty only gave me a few pointers, and I only learned some fur."

Luo Yong felt that his sentence was a bit arrogant; such a powerful sword intent was only the fur of His Majesty Li Chen?

But what he didn't know was that what he said was true; this point was just Li Chen's fur. Li Chen didn't dare to give him too big a cheat, afraid that his opponent couldn't withstand it, and also afraid that the judges couldn't understand it.

Luo Yong knew very little about Li Chen.

But hearing him say this, Fang Qian started to calculate in his heart, should I also go to the imperial court to mix an official position?

Now the Heavenly Strategy Dynasty is prosperous, the national power is strong, and experts are like clouds.

Anyway, it's finding a backer, why not find the biggest one.

At this banquet, there were a few people with a lot of inner drama.

As a subordinate of the Returning Void Boundless Sect, Qu Zhongxu had already reported the matter and was waiting for the reply of the Returning Void Boundless Sect here.

!

But the Returning Void Boundless Sect was holding a birthday banquet, and it was impossible to reply for a while.

The He He Zongzhu of the Heavenly Weeping Sword Tomb, Mo Wulei, also remembered at this time that he seemed to have promised the Third Prince Li Yu to usurp the throne, and now he was somewhat guilty.

With the strength Li Chen displayed, let alone his little strength, even if the five of them were together, they wouldn't be his match.

And he just saved his life, and he still wanted to usurp the throne; it was unreasonable in terms of emotion and reason.

As a sword cultivator, one must have basic integrity.

Mo Wulei felt angry that Li Yu dared to play him, because Li Yu said Li Chen's strength was only an ordinary Sage Realm expert, and winning was relying on the secret treasures of the imperial family.

At that time, Mo Wulei believed it; now it seems that even if he sacrificed his life-bound magic treasure, he might not be able to withstand three moves from Li Chen.

Actually, this couldn't be blamed entirely on the Third Prince Li Yu; Li Yu was not a Sage Realm expert, so how would he know so much.

Mo Wulei also had a certain amount of ambition, otherwise, he couldn't have promised Li Yu.

At this moment, Mo Wulei was thinking about how he could obtain His Majesty Li Chen's trust and clear his relationship with Li Yu, so as not to let His Majesty Li Chen settle accounts after the autumn and pull him out.

The banquet was almost over, and Li Chen, who had completed the task, was planning to say goodbye and return to the Imperial Capital, when a manager of the Misty Immortal Alliance walked in.

He was responsible for the intelligence work of the Misty Immortal Alliance. Just now, a sect in Yan Hai sent a distress signal, indicating that the Sea Clan was attacking on a large scale and the sect was in danger.

The Misty Immortal Alliance had an ancient alliance agreement, but any sect attacked by an outside race, other sects must rescue them.

This concerned the glory of human cultivators, and the five major sword sects, as the core of the Misty Immortal Alliance, naturally couldn't sit idly by.

Hearing this, Mo Wulei had a plan.

He walked up, bowed to Li Chen, his tone respectful and firm: "Your Majesty, as subjects of the Heavenly Strategy Dynasty, we should contribute to the Heavenly Strategy Dynasty. This Sea Clan invasion is the time for us to serve the imperial court and protect the human race. Please give the order, we are willing to listen to the dispatch and resist foreign enemies together!"

As soon as his voice fell, the other four Sect Masters also stood up one after another and said in unison: "Please give the order, we are willing to listen to the dispatch!"

Li Chen was stunned for a moment, muttering to himself: I just came to mix a task, why did you let me lead the team?

Can't you go by yourselves? The Heavenly Strategy Dynasty is prosperous, and the group army belonging to the Third Prince has returned to the defense zone. Plus your strength, it shouldn't be a problem to beat back the Sea Clan, right?

But looking at the eager eyes of the five Sect Masters, Li Chen couldn't refuse, so he cleared his throat and said righteously: "All the beloved ministers have this heart, I am very pleased! The Sea Clan invasion is a great enemy of our human race. Today, I will go on an expedition with you to resist foreign enemies together and protect our rivers and mountains!"

As soon as these words came out, the five Sect Masters were suddenly full of blood, shouting in unison: "Your Majesty is wise! Protect our rivers and mountains!"
