Chapter 642

"Heh, I never expected that you two fellow Daoists would actually think the same way as this seat!"

Hearing the words of Shi Zhixuan and Fu Cailin, Ning Daogi could not help but laugh as he spoke; however, deep down, he had developed a trace of wariness toward these two.

Immediately, the three of them led ten Martial King Realm experts and flew rapidly toward the Yin Kuai Sect.

……

At the same time, at the main entrance of the Luoyang Imperial Palace, Zhu Yuyan arrived with the Sage Maiden Wanwan.

"I never expected that the imperial palace Yang Guang had just finished building would change hands before he could even live in it for long. Truly, the affairs of the world are unpredictable!"

Looking at the towering imperial palace before her, the Yin Empress Zhu Yuyan could not help but sigh with emotion.

"Master, the Great Han is, after all, a people from beyond the heavens. Their grand armies are composed of Innate Realm warriors."

"Moreover, for some time now, the Great Han has even spread martial cultivation techniques among the common people. Their methods are beyond what we could have imagined!"

Hearing Zhu Yuyan's words, Wanwan, who was following behind her, explained with a smile.

During this period, she had been traveling through the various major cities of the Great Han, and she had the most intuitive sense of the Great Han's power.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuyan nodded and said, "That is true. I hope that this time, the Great Han will be able to accept us!"

"Whoosh!"

At the same time, a sound of piercing through the air came, and Hou Cheng's figure was seen flying out from the imperial palace city tower, arriving before Zhu Yuyan and Wanwan in the blink of an eye.

"Yin Empress Zhu Yuyan of the Yin Kuai Sect, Sage Maiden Wanwan, I do not know for what reason you two have come to our Great Han Imperial Palace!"

Hou Cheng arrived before the two and inquired of them.

Now with the help of the Shadow Guards, the Great Han's intelligence system had covered the entire world.

Even among the foreign tribes, the Shadow Guards had already been sent out; it is believed that before long, they will successfully have laid out their network across the entire world.

That Hou Cheng could identify their identities at a glance left both of them somewhat surprised, which showed that the Great Han's intelligence capabilities were very powerful.

Moreover, because Hou Cheng did not choose to hide his cultivation, Zhu Yuyan and Wanwan could clearly sense his cultivation at the Seventh Heaven of the Martial King Realm.

From this, it could be seen that the Great Han's strength was indeed unfathomable.

"This General, I have come this time to lead my Yin Kuai Sect to join the Great Han Empire and to seek an audience with the Great Han Empress. I ask that you please report this, General!"

Zhu Yuyan cupped her fists toward Hou Cheng and said respectfully. Do not be fooled by her Martial Emperor Realm cultivation; in the Great Han Imperial Palace, she did not dare to act presumptuously.

Hearing Zhu Yuyan's words, Hou Cheng nodded slightly, used his divine sense to communicate with his identity jade token, and reported the situation here to the guards beside Diao Chan.

Before long, Hou Cheng received the news that Diao Chan was willing to meet them, and he immediately said to the two:

"The Empress has already agreed to meet you. Follow this General into the palace to see the Empress!"

Seeing this scene, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of both Zhu Yuyan and Wanwan.

They saw Hou Cheng just stand there before them for a while, without seeing him send anyone to report, so how did he know the Empress wanted to see them?

Although they were somewhat puzzled inside, they did not ask, and could only follow behind Hou Cheng as they walked toward the imperial palace.

……

At this time, in the Qianyang Hall, Diao Chan was meeting with Xun Yu, Zhang Sanfeng, Song Que, and others to receive the Sage Maiden of the Cihang Jingzhai, Shi Feixuan.

"Shi Feixuan, you say you were ordered by your master to descend the mountain to assist a wise lord!"

Hearing Shi Feixuan's words, Xun Yu could not help but ask with a smile.

Hearing Xun Yu's inquiry, Shi Feixuan revealed a serious expression on her beautiful face and said with a solemn look:

"This Lord, I have indeed been ordered by my master to come and find a wise lord to assist in unifying the world."

"And after my travels through the world during this time, I have discovered that only the Han Kingdom truly thinks for the people of the world."

"Especially under the rule of the Han Kingdom, you have even distributed land to the common people, helped them build their homes, and provided them with high-yield grain seeds for free."

"Every one of these things is a good deed that benefits the country and the people. Therefore, under the rule of the Great Han, I have seen the people living in peace and contentment, no longer suffering from the pain of hunger."

"Everything the Great Han has done for the people is for the sake of the people. Such a country is exactly what I yearn for, so I am willing to assist the Great Han in unifying the world!"

Looking at Shi Feixuan, who had a determined expression below, everyone looked at her with full sympathy.

From Shi Feixuan's expression, they discovered that Shi Feixuan was not lying.

But the people of the Great Han had already received news from the Shadow Guards.

As of now, the Sect Leader of the Cihang Jingzhai, Fan Qinghui, had already gathered a group of Jianghu warriors, intending to support Li Yuan of Taiyuan.

This made it clear that the Cihang Jingzhai wanted to support Li Yuan to oppose the Great Han.

And these matters, as the Sage Maiden of the Cihang Jingzhai and a personal disciple of Fan Qinghui, Shi Feixuan had not received any news of at all.

In fact, Fan Qinghui had already sent people to notify Shi Feixuan, but the people sent were still on the road.

And Fan Qinghui also did not expect that Shi Feixuan would come to see Diao Chan and the others at this time, which led to the current situation.

"Minister Xun, tell Miss Shi the news we have collected in the Great Han. Looking at Miss Shi's appearance, she clearly does not know what has happened!"

Diao Chan looked at the solemn Shi Feixuan and said to Xun Yu.

And Shi Feixuan, after hearing Diao Chan's words, had a look of confusion flash across her face; she did not understand the meaning of Diao Chan's words.

However, from the expressions of these Great Han officials, she felt a sense of palpitation, as if something bad had happened.

Upon hearing this, Xun Yu nodded, stepped out of the ranks, and said to Shi Feixuan:

"Miss Shi, just half a month ago, your Cihang Jingzhai Sect Leader invited Ning Daogi, Bi Xuan, Xiang Yutian, Fu Cailin, and Shi Zhixuan—those five people—wanting to secretly support the Tang King Li Yuan of Taiyuan to oppose our Great Han Empire."

"Now, they have split into two groups. Your Cihang Jingzhai Sect Leader Fan Qinghui is leading Bi Xuan, Xiang Yutian, and a group of Jianghu warriors to Taiyuan to assist Li Yuan."

"And Shi Zhixuan, Ning Daogi, and Fu Cailin are leading ten Martial King Realm experts to the Yin Kuai Sect."

"Because the Yin Empress Zhu Yuyan of the Yin Kuai Sect did not agree to join them in resisting our Great Han, Fan Qinghui and the others, fearing the Yin Kuai Sect would join our Great Han, wanted to destroy the Yin Kuai Sect in advance."

"However, the Yin Empress Zhu Yuyan of the Yin Kuai Sect had already led the Yin Kuai Sect members to leave their sect five days ago. It is presumed that before long, the Yin Kuai Sect will be able to join our Great Han."

"And when that time comes, our Great Han and your Cihang Jingzhai will be enemies. Now, Miss Shi, do you still want to join our Great Han?"

Hearing Xun Yu's words, Shi Feixuan's body retreated a few steps, nearly falling to the ground.
