Chapter 418: Certainly Nothing Will Go Wrong (First Update)

For a moment, the military formation's power was heaven-shaking, its momentum surging straight into the clouds, causing the four directions to tremble.

Yet, the general was not satisfied with this.

He was not dissatisfied with the Divine Emperor Army he had personally trained, but rather aimed at the others present; some had followed along in raising their hands to take the oath, but more were disdainful.

"What about you all? Why do you not take the oath with us!!?"

The black-faced general's tiger eyes widened, glaring at the young people scattered in front of the soldiers, his eyes blazing with rage, his voice like a great bell, his volume extremely loud, making people's ears ache.

In response, someone among the group of young people felt dissatisfied, rubbed their ears, and said irritably: "Hiss! Why are you shouting? Can't you speak a little quieter!"

"No!!!"

The black-faced general's voice became even louder, glaring at the young person, almost roaring as he questioned:

"Cao Zhiyin! I ask you, why did you not take the oath just now!? Could it be that you are dissatisfied with His Majesty the Divine Emperor!!?"

"You!"

Cao Zhiyin, who had been indignant just a moment ago, saw his expression change abruptly, and he hurriedly retorted sharply: "Zang Zhenyu! Do not spout nonsense! This is no child's play!"

This statement by the black-faced general Zang Zhenyu was extremely malicious.

The Southern Border Divine Dynasty integrated politics and religion; the successive Divine Emperors were both the lords of the Divine Dynasty and the deities worshipped by the largest religion in the Southern Border.

Once Cao Zhiyin answered carelessly, he would fall into the deep pit the other had prepared; even with his family's status in the Southern Border, he could not easily escape, and at the very least, he would lose a layer of skin!

"Hmph! So you also know this is no child's play!"

Zang Zhenyu let out a cold snort and a sneer, but he did not continue to press the issue.

A show of force is all about deterrence; if it could be easily brought down, it would be considered inferior.

Moreover, his words just now seemed aimed at the outspoken Cao Zhiyin, but they were actually applicable to all the other young people.

What?

Are you planning to rebel?

Zang Zhenyu scanned the heaven-gifted geniuses once more, and seeing their expressions had become much more serious, he nodded slightly.

"You must be clear about the mission you now bear; this trip is to wash away the humiliation given to us back then, to make them experience the same feeling!"

Cao Zhiyin had just lost face and, feeling unconvinced, muttered in a low voice:

"Heh! If it could be washed away, it would have been long ago; why wait until now?"

Wanting to suppress the heroes of other Shenzhous sounds simple enough, but in reality, it is not an easy task at all.

As the hosts of the Immortal Sect Grand Competition, the three super sects would each send their own teams.

On one hand, it was to deter other sects, let them see the gap, and put away those little thoughts.

On the other hand, it was to compete with the other two families and fight for corresponding influence.

Furthermore, those people also carried a hidden mission.

They were responsible for dealing with people coming from other Shenzhous, ensuring that the tragedy that occurred in the Southern Border Divine Continent would not happen again in Beiming.

They were the insurance.

Even, if it truly came to a moment of crisis, no one could guarantee whether those top-tier sects would secretly pull some strings and manipulate the progress of the competition.

Zang Zhenyu glanced at Cao Zhiyin, his face turning even darker, but he said nothing.

He knew in his heart that this matter was not easy, but with the mission upon him, he could not shirk it at all.

"However, as long as His Highness is here, this matter is not impossible."

He swept his gaze over the heaven-gifted geniuses as if unintentionally, looking at the tall and thin man standing in the center of the crowd, eyes closed as if taking a nap.

Yuwen Tianye was not only the ninth son of the current Divine Emperor but also a Double-Pupil born with strange phenomena.

The successive Divine Emperors of the Yuwen Family all had unique traits; the current Majesty was born with four arms, and the First Emperor even had two heads with different thoughts.

Among this generation of offspring, Yuwen Tianye's phenomenon was the most special, born with divine pupil arts, and thus he was the one most anticipated by His Majesty the Divine Emperor among all his offspring.

Before departing, His Majesty had even secretly summoned him into the palace and given a death order.

Regardless of the outcome, the safety of His Highness Tianye must be the priority; everything else could be abandoned, but he absolutely could not be allowed to suffer any loss.

Zang Zhenyu hid the heart palpitations from that day deep in his heart, coughed, straightened his back, and raised his arms to shout again:

"For the Divine Emperor!"

This time, regardless of whether they were willing in their hearts, everyone except Yuwen Tianye raised their arms and shouted along with the military formation.

"For the Divine Emperor!!!"

Zang Zhenyu was very satisfied and finally gave the order:

"Set off!"

……

……

"Your Majesty, are you sure this is okay?"

Ran Yeting looked at Li Long, who was checking his whole body back and forth in the mirror, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

"What of it? I don't believe that in this Beigan, there is anyone who can control whether I go out or not."

Li Long, having finished his disguise, snorted coldly upon hearing this, raised his head proudly, and allowed Imperial Concubine Ran to help him adjust his collar more easily.

At this moment, Li Long had taken off his imperial robes and changed back into the attire he wore when he traveled the world back then.

Although his face was not covered much, his entire temperament was completely different; he was no longer the Emperor who shook the world, but a wandering knight roaming the Earthly Realm.

Although His Majesty had ascended the throne for so many years, and the time spent as Emperor had long since far exceeded the time spent traveling back then, she was still used to him dressed like this.

Most of the time, memories are beautiful, and when looking back, one naturally adds a layer of soft-focus filter to them.

The bitter turns into the sweet, not to mention that the time back then was already very happy.

Moreover, compared to the star-crossed lovers A Jian and Xiao Mei, the ending for the two of them was already quite good.

At the very least, the two of them had not changed their original intentions, and they also had a pair of children who could stay by their side.

That is enough.

Ran Yeting is very satisfied with this.

After all, having someone even more miserable than herself as a point of reference makes her feel much better.

Of course, the person she is referring to is not Jian Xinxin; as a sister-in-law, she would not stoop to taking pleasure in the misfortune of a younger brother or sister.

The poor wretch in Ran Yeting's eyes is Empress Zhao Chaofeng.

A political marriage is one thing; one should not have expected any affection between them to begin with, but she simply cannot see the situation clearly. After all these years, she still clings to the fact that she is the primary wife, insisting on fighting to the death with her.

Isn't that laughable?

At first, Ran Yeting would secretly get angry, but later she saw through it.

If you want to fight, then fight; I won't bother with you, and you shouldn't bother me either.

Anyway, his heart is always with me, so you can make as much trouble as you like.

My dear Empress sister, why can't you understand the simple truth that the more you make a scene, the lower your value becomes in his heart?

"Besides, I didn't sneak out; I already arranged everything properly! With the Prime Minister and Eunuch Su guarding Wentian, nothing will go wrong." Li Long clasped his hands behind his back and lifted his chin triumphantly.

"Besides, if something really did go wrong, I could just rush back."

"It's not a big problem!"

"Nothing will definitely go wrong!"
