Chapter 1356

And just as various thoughts surged in his mind.

In the imperial palace of the Han Dynasty, in Ximen Wudi's imperial garden.

At this moment, Ximen Wudi was unaware of the matter concerning Jin Peng, the Holy Monarch.

At this moment, his eyes were tightly closed.

Seated cross-legged upon a soft couch.

The spiritual energy around him was extremely dense.

Even Diaochan, at this moment, felt a tinge of envy.

A good opportunity for cultivation.

1205 A good opportunity for cultivation.

She felt the flow of her true energy within her body becoming increasingly smooth.

Especially within her dantian, vast amounts of true energy drifted, leaving her in awe.

Yet, she also clearly knew that this was not a good time for cultivation.

Ximen Wudi was cultivating.

She could not disturb him.

But just at this moment.

Cao Zhengchun's voice rang out.

"Your Majesty, the Han Chancellor requests an audience!"

After speaking, his face broke into an excited expression.

Since Ximen Wudi ascended the throne, he had rarely summoned his ministers for court deliberations.

But now, the man had summoned him—how could Cao Zhengchun not be thrilled?

Upon hearing the voice, Ximen Wudi slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at Cao Zhengchun, he said.

"Admit him!"

As his words fell, Cao Zhengchun withdrew.

Moments later.

The Han Chancellor, Lu Bu, walked in.

"Your servant bows before Your Majesty!"

A respectful voice rang out.

Ximen Wudi gave a slight nod in acknowledgment.

"Rise. Your cultivation has improved."

Looking at him, he spoke.

"Your Majesty, I encountered a miraculous fortune, which is why I've reached this state.

Now, within the Honghuang, I can walk with impunity!"

Lu Bu's voice carried a note of excitement.

After all, he had always been a warrior, and now he had reached Saint King Seventh Layer.

In the Han Dynasty, he could certainly stand alone as a pillar.

And just at this moment, Ximen Wudi spoke again.

"I have heard that you have an adopted son named Zhang Sanfeng, who once aided me.

I permit you to lead your army to the Eastern Sea to assist me in quelling the rebels.

Regardless of success or failure, you may return!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Bu's face lit up with excitement.

He immediately cried out.

"Your servant obeys!"

And after he withdrew.

Ximen Wudi's eyes revealed a glint of cold light.

His impression of Zhang Sanfeng was extremely profound.

The man's identity seemed far from ordinary.

Not only was his cultivation powerful, but he was always surrounded by numerous strong figures.

He could even be called a prodigy.

Yet, Ximen Wudi was not afraid.

For according to the system's estimation, Zhang Sanfeng's strength was merely Saint Ninth Layer.

Though stronger than himself.

Yet, to kill him was still far beyond reach.

Thus, he immediately ordered.

"Notify everyone, prepare for battle!"

As his words fell, the palace guards instantly withdrew.

And at the same moment, Ximen Wudi's figure vanished from his spot.

At this moment, he had decided to lead the campaign personally.

After all, the Han Dynasty was no longer what it once was.

After reorganization, its armies were sufficient to sweep across the entire Honghuang.

And not long after Ximen Wudi had just set out,

the Holy Sovereign of Jin Peng received a report from his subordinate.

"Reporting to the Old Ancestor, the Holy City of Jin Peng has already fallen.

The iron cavalry of the Great Han have completely overrun the entire Jin Peng lineage!"

Upon hearing the words,

a savage look appeared on the Holy Sovereign of Jin Peng's face.

This day had finally come.

"Hahaha, Jin Yu the Holy, just you wait. The day this sovereign comes out of seclusion will be the day the Jin Peng clan is annihilated!"

The roar rang out, causing all the disciples of the Jin Peng noble houses to tremble in fear.

None dared approach.

And just as the Holy Sovereign of Jin Peng was preparing to break through,

the Great Han army at this moment had already invaded the Great Desert Kingdom.

The ruler of the Great Desert Kingdom looked at the soldiers descending from the sky,

a look of horror flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, he could not help but draw in a sharp breath of cold air.

In 1207, the Great Desert Kingdom was occupied.

The Great Han had actually occupied the Great Desert Kingdom in such a short span of time.

This left him unable to react in time.

However, at this moment he could not afford to worry about anything else.

He shouted directly,

"Qin Ruishi, heed my command — follow me into battle!"

As the words rang out, his body lunged forward.

These people were far too terrifying.

Every step they took was like thunder itself.

Blazing blade-light flashed forth.

How could the ruler of the Great Desert Kingdom dare to show the slightest negligence?

He brandished the weapon in his hand and went to meet them.
