Chapter 179

This matter is not up for discussion, and it's best not to bring it up again in the future; if, by chance, Red Moon finds out and insists on going with you, tell me, would I agree or disagree?

Just two days ago the imperial physician diagnosed that Red Moon has been pregnant for a month; if she goes to the battlefield and something goes wrong, who will be responsible? Can you take responsibility, or are you planning to let me bear it?

Upon hearing this, Lin Feiyun immediately fell silent—how could he possibly bear that responsibility? That's the future crown prince; even if he weren't the crown prince, it's still beyond what this general can shoulder.

Your Majesty, just pretend I never said anything; I'll go back to rest, and in three days I'll mobilize the army and follow your orders.

That's about enough; don't speak like that again—I don't like hearing it. Even if she weren't pregnant, she couldn't possibly go to the battlefield with you; if something happened, who could take responsibility?

Lin Feiyun nodded repeatedly, then clasped his hands and withdrew from the hall.

I've heard that the women of the Great Yun Kingdom are unparalleled in beauty, and that its two grandmasters are members of the royal family; the two grandmasters we sent over have not replied yet, possibly they've been captured.

Xiao Yu timely reminded Shen Tianxing, but he didn't mind it.

As long as they're not dead or have betrayed us, that's fine; as for the exact situation, we can just go see for ourselves later—it's not a big deal, right?

Shen Tianxing had to admit Xiao Yu was right, though he didn't know that the two grandmasters had been locked up by the two female grandmasters of the Great Yun Kingdom.

Speak up—what level of strength does the Shen Tianxing who sent you have, that he can make you two grandmasters obey so meekly? Could he already have reached grandmaster peak?

In the underground secret chamber of the Great Yun Kingdom's imperial palace, two female grandmasters coldly regarded Grand Elder Lei Zhenchuan and another grandmaster, Ouyang Shan.

Who would have thought that even a ninth-layer grandmaster named Lei Zhenshan would be chained up, his lute bones pierced through—showing just how terrifying these two female grandmasters' strength is.

The lord's power is beyond your imagination; if you have the ability, kill us anyway, for we won't say anything!

But you two hide yourselves too deeply—being two grandmasters at perfection, you must have had quite a few adventures, right?

Lei Zhenchuan is truly frustrated—having to deal with Shen Tianxing and his wife, who are grandmaster peak, is bad enough, but then they sent him to do this little task, and he got captured by two grandmaster-perfection experts.

Lei Zhenchuan simply can't understand why grandmasters have suddenly sprouted like cabbage and tofu, the key being that they're all stronger than him.

You should know that before, Lei Zhenchuan was truly the invincible grandmaster within, and all grandmasters on the Shenzhou Continent had to obey his orders; now he's really nothing.

How much stronger could he be? Just grandmaster peak? Trying to annex my Great Yun Kingdom is a daydream; even if he came in person, we sisters could leave him without a burial place.

The speaker is the elder sister of these two female grandmasters, the former empress of the Great Yun Kingdom, Yun Tianxia, and the other is her full‑blooded younger sister, Yun Tianxue.

Don't be fooled by their appearance of being in their thirties; that's just good upkeep—actually they're eighty and seventy‑eight, basically two old ladies.

Foolish, do you really think only the lord is powerful? The lord's lady and the grandmaster experts under him—you can't even imagine it.

If you release us now and we choose to submit, your Great Yun Kingdom can still stay safe; but if you wait for the lord to come in person, it won't be as simple as just destroying the nation.

Lei Zhenchuan can now only bluff; in fact, when he says this he has no confidence at all, but having no confidence doesn't matter—he still has to say it.

Haha... do you yourself believe what you're saying? Do you really think our Great Yun Kingdom has been weak all these years? For so many years, why have we never fought other nations?

We have always tried to balance relations with other countries, so as not to let the Great Yun Kingdom suffer utter devastation, and sometimes, for the sake of peace, we have even sent out a great deal of money and goods.

We're not afraid; we're accumulating strength. Now our Great Yun Kingdom has a million‑strong army, and the weakest of that million are all second‑rank, with another 100,000 being fourth‑rank!

Besides, we aren't the only grandmaster experts; there are also five who are grandmaster ninth layer, cultivated by our Great Yun imperial family, plus ten thousand fifth‑rank experts serving as the elite ten‑thousand‑strong army.

What does your so‑called Shen Tianxing have to compare with our Great Yun Kingdom? We never planned to attack other countries and unify the Shenzhou Continent so quickly; after all, we could still accumulate strength, at least wait another ten or eight years.

But now there's no need for all that trouble—since you want to annex my Great Yun Kingdom, you'll have to pay the price; we'll lead troops to first retake the several countries you've already taken, then march into the Great Zhou!

No, it should now be called Great Feng, but the name doesn't matter; the important thing is that destroying a nation will take at most a year, and no one can save you.

Yun Tianxia is full of confidence—two original grandmasters plus five grandmaster ninth layer, and even against three grandmaster peaks they feel no fear.

Your confidence is enough, but I've just killed three grandmaster peaks; killing you should be a piece of cake.

A sudden voice rang out, shocking everyone present, especially Yun Tianxia, who had just been extremely overconfident, now showing a look of astonishment.

One zhang away before them, a youth in a black robe had appeared at some point, looking at them with a smiling face, his eyes full of mockery.

My lord, you have finally come; it's our inadequacy that has lost you face—I hope you will forgive us, and I don't know how you managed to arrive so quickly.

Lei Zhenchuan was overjoyed; he had thought he would die here, but he didn't expect Shen Tianxing to show up.

Are you Shen Tianxing? How could you appear here? This is impossible—my Great Yun imperial palace is heavily guarded, and there are even five grandmasters stationed there.

Even if you could get into the palace, you might not gain an advantage over those five, and it's even less likely you'd find this underground chamber—how did you manage it?

Yun Tianxia couldn't believe it, and she couldn't help but keep questioning him, while Shen Tianxing merely gave a light smile and spoke slowly:

You say, is it possible that those five are already dead at my hands? I only learned of this place's existence from their mouths.

Of course you won't believe me, but it doesn't matter; once I kill you and you descend to the Underworld, you can ask yourselves whether it's exactly as I said.

Shen Tianxing's sudden appearance here is also thanks to the positioning function of the ring that Lei Zhenchuan and the others were carrying.

As for being able to appear at such speed, we have to thank the system's latest feature after the upgrade: system‑item positioning and teleportation.

This feature allows anyone holding a system item to perform long‑range positioning and teleportation, but only once per day, and each use consumes a million killing points.

Hearing Shen Tianxing say that those five grandmasters were already dead in his hands, Yun Tianxia and Yun Tianxue's faces turned extremely grim, yet they still took their positions left and right, exchanged a glance, and then let out a unified shout.

Join forces, kill him!
