Chapter 487: A person who gets something for nothing!

Looks like they're going to go attack my home, Fuyao.

Boom—boom—boom!

Above the Void, there were actually over a hundred ancient spirit vessels surging with heavenly Dao patterns, dyeing the Void, the heaven and earth of the Imperial Capital were illuminated, and a terrifying aura, like a vast sea, swept outward in all directions.

The Ice Frost Empress stood upon the carriage, wearing an ice‑blue long robe, her body flowing with rich Dao Resonance, she looked down upon the Imperial Capital, then returned to the carriage.

Soon.

These ancient spirit vessels directly stepped into the grand spatial teleportation formation.

Terrifying spatial power surged!

Target location: Cloudcold Mountain Range.

But at this moment.

In Lu Xuan's room, an attendant maid carrying food walked in, her gaze constantly looking outside, a flash of killing intent in her eyes then vanished, she whispered, "I don't know which power will suffer this time."

Lu Xuan said lightly, "What did you say?"

The attendant maid instinctively said, "Which power is the Imperial Court going to massacre this time? Could it be they're going to have a decisive battle with the Fire Alliance Headquarters?"

Lu Xuan said, "No."

The attendant maid immediately came to her senses, nervously looking at Lu Xuan.

You know this is the Imperial Capital.

She actually dares to say the Imperial Court is wrong—this is punishable by extermination of the whole clan!

However, her family has already been wiped out by the Imperial Court, leaving only her……

Wuu—wuu—wuu……

The attendant maid burst into tears, her knees slightly bending, "You're a good person, you must never expose me!"

Lu Xuan deliberately put on a stern face and said, "How can you tell I'm a good person? I'm actually a murderous maniac."

The attendant maid said, "You spend all day lying in bed in this tavern, reading storybooks, writing poetry, painting, eating, unlike other decadent nobles of the Imperial Capital who bully men and women all day."

Lu Xuan: "……"

How did he also become a decadent noble?

Lu Xuan said lightly, "You misunderstand me; I've always been working hard."

The attendant maid shook her head and said, "You look like the kind of person who gets something for nothing."

Lu Xuan: "……"

The system laughed loudly.

A moment of silence.

The attendant maid pleaded again, "Good person, you must never expose me."

Lu Xuan said lightly, "You hate the Northern Yuan Imperial Court very much?"

The attendant maid gritted her teeth, hesitated a moment, and said, "All of us Northern Yuan people, who doesn't hate the Imperial Court? The Imperial Court drains the blood of the whole Northern Yuan. My clan was exterminated by the Imperial Court; only I escaped and hid in the Imperial Capital as a maid."

Lu Xuan let out an "oh".

The attendant maid rolled up her sleeve; on her snow‑white arm appeared a Dao pattern mark, a "Huang" character.

Lu Xuan frowned, "What does it mean?"

The attendant maid explained, "This is the first Northern Yuan rebel who resisted the Imperial Court, named Huang Chao Zhi Zun. All later rebel forces are built upon his legacy, such as the present Fire Alliance."

"It was Huang Chao Zhi Zun who left the prophecy that the Imperial Court would be destroyed by fire; when the Imperial Court falls, the Northern Yuan will merge."

"Heaven‑rushing spiritual fire will pierce the Imperial Capital, and the whole city will be clad in golden armor."

Hearing this, Lu Xuan gave a light smile.

This Huang Chao Zhi Zun actually has some substance.

In the dark, only fate!

You know the Imperial Dragon Guard all wear golden armor!

This prophecy is about to be fulfilled!

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan waved his hand, "Go on, I'm eating."

The attendant maid put down the food and slowly retreated.

……

Elsewhere.

The Fire Alliance's last marquis, Su Yunxi, received the Ice Frost Empress's order.

In the name of the Fire Alliance, lure Ji Fuyao into the trap!

Su Yunxi's brows furrowed slightly, she coldly said, "I didn't expect anyone still dares to oppose Her Majesty the Empress? Ji Fuyao, you already have a death sentence!"

Although Ji Fuyao has killed one of the Five Tiger Generals and the Ice Flame Army Commander, what of it?

It's completely not on the same level as the Northern Yuan Imperial Court!

The Imperial Court still has a Supreme Old Ancestor!

Thinking of this.

Su Yunxi immediately sent a mental transmission to Chen Yan and the others.

When she learned that Ji Fuyao had already led people to Cloudcold Mountain Range, Su Yunxi burst out laughing, "Then I'll step on your corpses and become a member of the Imperial Court!"

Next, she directly activated the Fire Alliance Supreme Secret Technique, sending a mental transmission to the remaining cultivators of the Fire Alliance Headquarters.

"I have already received the legacy of Huang Chao Zhi Zun! All personnel of the Fire Alliance Headquarters, go to Cloudcold Mountain Range and fight the Imperial Court to the death!"

Soon.

The Fire Alliance Headquarters erupted; everyone, carrying a death wish, all advanced toward Cloudcold Mountain Range!

Su Yunxi's lips curled slightly, and she also turned and left.

City Lord clasped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Sir Su, for achieving great merit this time; you will surely be appointed by the Imperial Court!"

Su Yunxi smiled and said, "From now on we'll be colleagues!"

City Lord said, "Thank you, Sir Su, for sending me your recommendation!"

Su Yunxi nodded and left.

At the same time.

Ji Fuyao was leading the great army forward toward the Cloudy Cold Mountain Range.

During the march, she passed several cities, all of which had already submitted to her, and her forces grew even larger!

As Ji Fuyao's troops continued to advance, the entire Northern Plains was thrown into an uproar.

Numerous factions were engaged in heated discussion.

"This force that appeared out of nowhere is too powerful!"

"Ji Fuyao wields the power of spirit fire; could she truly be the Heaven's Mandate of our Northern Plains, and also our sole one?"

"Now, within the Imperial Court, the Ice Frost Empress has also departed with her great army. This must be the most terrifying battle in tens of thousands of years of the Northern Plains!"

The Northern Plains almost boiled over.

Two and a half days later.

Ji Fuyao descended with numerous great armies near the Cloudy Cold Mountain Range.

She wore a single scarlet long dress, divine radiance surging on her body as she surveyed the surroundings.

Beside her, Chen Yan said, "Your Majesty, Empress, be careful. Surely the Imperial Court has already taken action; at this time, General Su Yunxi may have already defected."

Wang Man frowned, "Defection?"

Chen Yan said with a solemn expression, "My father has always looked down on General Su Yunxi, only because she……"

Wang Man urged, "What happened to her?"

Chen Yan hesitated a moment and said, "My father said she rose to power by relying on her body, becoming one of the Seven Great King Generals."

Everyone: "……"

Ji Fuyao's divine sense continuously swept over the Cloudy Cold Mountain Range; here the heavenly and earthly situation showed a fierce momentum, icy cold power condensed, and Dao patterns flickered in the darkness.

At this very moment, it was exactly like that time then.

It was somewhat like the incident at Azure City.

The fierce appearance has already manifested!

But the difference is, at this very moment, she is already invincible beneath the Supreme!

Before absolute power, the foundation of eight epochs of the Imperial Court cannot overcome her.

And at this time, in the depths of the Void.

The Ice Frost Empress and several old ancestors looked down from above, staring intently at Ji Fuyao.

A gray-robed old ancestor said coldly, "Is this the woman who calls herself the Fuyao Empress? Nothing more than that."

The Ice Frost Empress said, "There must be someone backing her from behind! Otherwise, relying only on this rabble, how could they cause our Imperial Court to lose so many strong ones?"

Five Tiger General Wang Chen glared at those rebel troop powerhouses, indignant, "Damn! These traitors have actually defected to Ji Fuyao!"

The Ice Frost Empress said coldly, "Kill them all in a moment!"

"We have already laid a Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap here; even if a Supreme descends, they must fall!"

"The four Supreme ancestors of our Imperial Court are on the way; the advantage is ours!"
