The Old Commander stared blankly, and after a carefully thought, his eyes suddenly lit up. “Now that you mention it, the situation had changed to this extent, the First Princess has not appeared.”

Dugu Quan immediately nodded. “Yes, the First Princess is a member of the Imperial family, naturally inherits the destiny of the Imperial family, and she is extremely talented. An expert with profound cultivation, and has once received countless guidance from the War God back then. These years, although she had rarely fought in battles, but her cultivation had reached an unbelievable level, most likely that her real battle strength is above the two Snow Emperors...”

Ouyang Buping nodded. “Indeed, First Princess is second only to martial arts Madman Hu Yu on the Imperial [Divine Dragon List], both her strength and identity are absolutely enough... By the way, how come Madman has not appeared?”

Before his voice faded.

“Haha, old Ouyang, you finally think of me,” a voice sounded out without any warning or signs whatsoever in the air.

Following a flash of brilliance, there was the surging of yuan qi.

The crowd’s vision was blurred for a moment.

Two more people appeared.

One of which was a man with snow-white hair, a youthful face, ruddy complexion, if that long white hair was ignored, he gives people the feeling that he was still a child.

Another was dressed in a white men’s warrior robe, but on her jade-like face, and smooth and fair skin was a stern expression, curved fine eyebrows, and delicate eyes, it was clearly a woman.

If Ye Qingyu was present, he would have realized that this beautiful woman disguised as a man was the white-clothed scholar that appeared next to Liu Yuqing and Xing’er at the battle of the Xian Pavilion.

When the two people appeared, the faces of all the people around suddenly changed.

“Princess, your highness!”

All people bowed.

Even Lin Zheng also slightly bowed.

The beautiful woman dressed as a man was the Empire’s First Imperial Princess Yu Junqing, ranked second in the Empire’s [Divine Dragon List].

And the old man by her side was the man ranked first on the [Divine Dragon List], [Martial Madman] Hu Yu, also regarded as the officially recognized strongest expert of the Empire.

Once all people bowed to the First Princess, they also greeted Hu Yu.

Hu Yu was a major master of the Imperial group of masters. He did not like earthly government affairs, rarely participated in the contention of power, and was born with a mischievous kid-like mentality, his biggest hobby in life was martial arts.

There was a legend about this martial-arts fanatic.

It was rumoured that in the early years, Hu Yu was only average, came from an ordinary background, and was not able to cultivate martial arts. It is said that in his first 50 years, he had only cultivated one Spirit spring, which was considered to be extremely stupid.

Such a person, with such intelligence, no one would take another glimpse at.

But for some reason, the War God noticed Hu Yu who was a nobody, and reportedly casually gave a few words of guidance to Hu Yu.

He was not even an official disciple.

But unexpectedly, Hu Yu was a late bloomer. His great talent matured slowly, astonishing the world 30 years later. His unparalleled strength broke out, and he became the leading expert of the empire.

Hu Yu was pure and simple, never took part in the Imperial affairs, and did not form a clique to pursue selfish interests. In a battle against other races, he gained notable military merits, and following that, various great forces and factions of the empire respected him, achieving superior status.

“Since the Princess has returned, it must have gone smoothly,” Lin Zheng asked.

The First Princess nodded, replying with a smile, “With [Martial Madman] Hu’s assistance, the operation naturally went smoothly. The Domain Gate within the boundaries of the Great Desert Brute Royal Court has been completely destroyed and sealed.”

Lin Zheng and Yu Feiyan both breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason that First Princess and Hu Yu did not appear was because they had gone to the Northwest Desert Brute Race, their target was the Domain Gate that was under the protection of the Great Desert Brute Race Royal Court.

While speaking, in the sky, there was another flash of brilliance.

A figure appeared.

This was a middle-aged slim man, three strands of long black beard under his jaw, appearing extremely elegant and scholarly. It was evident that he was a rare handsome man when he was young. He was slightly pale, and a strong stench of blood was emitting from his body, he should have just experienced a tragic fight.

It was Qin Lin who obstructed the First Snow Emperor.

Qin Lin, the Heavenly Sword of the Correct Path’s Five Endless Peaks of the Era of Sects.

He was a mighty expert whose powers frightened all sides a hundred years ago.

“Minister, everyone, the Domain Gate of the Hurricane Wave Demon Court has been successfully destroyed and sealed. His Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, has returned to the palace to rest. Everything went smoothly.”

“Good.” Lin Zheng nodded. “Mister Qin, you’ve done well, how is His Majesty, Supreme Emperor’s injuries?”

Qin Lin smiled lightly. “No need to worry, he should recover in one or two months.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Zheng was completely relieved.

He arrangement for Qin Lin to obstruct the First Snow Emperor was, of course, just to let the Black Demon Pool envoy to see, as well as the demon souls that were secretly watching the situation. It was just to deceive the remaining ashes of the foreign domains Fiendgods.

Their real goal was, of course, to let Mr. Qin and the First Snow Emperor to travel through the prepared secret passage to theHurricane Wave Demon Court and attack the protected areas of the Domain Gate. They were to launch a surprise attack on the opponents, and thoroughly destroy the Domain Gate.

And the purpose of Heavenly Book of the Righteous Path’s Endless Peaks Yue Xianjue of obstructing the First Snow Emperor was exactly the same as Qin Lin. On the surface it seemed that he was obstructing him, but in fact was waiting for the attention of all the parties to be diverted, before heading towards the White Mountain Black Waters Brute Race through an opened formation passage and attack the Domain Gate that was under the protection of the White Mountain Black Waters Brute Race Royal Court.

After all, once the battle of the City of Light had been completed, the two Snow Emperors would definitely be put under the spotlight and attention paid to them. Although they have remained low-key for several decades, they were still the supreme existences of the Human Race of Heaven Wasteland Domain. Those demon souls who had been planning for a hundred years would definitely pay close attention to their response.

The current situation of the Heaven Wasteland Domain was in chaos. After the several major races were pressured to the point of being unable to breathe in the past hundred years, they suddenly counterattacked the Human Race, breaking through the defense of the Human Race’s borders in one go, and troops were charging to the center of the Human Race. On the surface, it seemed that the Human Race was at an absolute disadvantage, and approaching a crisis.

But the truth?

The troops of the Human Race, which had been oppressive and controlling for a hundred years, would they really be so vulnerable?

The four main battle armies that had been honing their skills at the border for the past hundred years, would they really be so muddle headed and collapse at the first blow?

How could this be possible!

These were all just an illusion.

The four major demon royal courts were seemingly occupying the upper hand, commanding troops to advance, ever lengthening the battle line, and frequently dispatching masters and experts into the territory of the Human Race. As a result, the defense forces of the foreign races had weakened a lot.

More importantly, in such a situation where victory was seemingly within reach, the vigilance and alert the other races had towards the Human Race were reduced to the lowest degree in one hundred years.

This gave the Human Race the strength to attack the Domain Gates within the protected boundaries of the four major foreign race royal courts, creating the greatest opportunity.

Of course, in the past few decades, the first generation Snow Emperor, the current Snow Emperor, Right Minister, Yu Feiyan, and other high-level masters had strenuously and persistently exhausted their thoughts to set up this game of chess in order to deceive the four major foreign race demon courts.

This game of chess, except for the few people knowing about it, other people that were involved in it did not even detect the slightest of abnormalities.

Those who worked for the Right Minister and the people who work for Yu Feiyan, had really fought hard and tried their best for their masters, really believed in everything that they saw.

And the sacrifices over the past few decades were all true.

So much so that the entire Heaven Wasteland Domain believed in what was happening on the surface.

This game of chess that the major figures of the Human Race had been arranging for decades, was almost perfect.

And today, it was time to harvest the result.

At this moment.

In the sky, there was another twinkling of light.

The figure of [Heavenly Book] Yue Xianjue was in front of several others.

“Right Minister, everyone, it is done.” Clad in white, Yue Xianjue had a smile on his face.

With his few words, Right Minister again breathed a long sigh of relief.

The other people’s faces also lit up.

But Qin Lin’s eyes fell on the body of Yue Xianjue, his expression took an abrupt change, saying, “Brother Yu, your injury is not light, it has harmed your essence...”

Yue Xianjue waved dismissively, replying with a faint smile, “No worries, I just lost 20 years of yuan qi. Swapping it in exchange for the destruction of the Domain Gate of the White Mountain Black Waters Demon Court so that foreign evil spirits cannot pass through this Domain Gate, it is worth it.”

“Mister Yue is high and upright in character, no wonder you are a master of your generation.” Apex Prince Yu Feiyan sighed.

Dugu Quan, Ouyang Buping, and others also bowed to Yu Feiyan. “We misunderstood Right Minister and also misunderstood Mister Yue. We really feel guilty. Mister Qin’s and Mister Yue’s noble character makes us deeply ashamed.”

Yue Xianjue waved his hand, “This is all just to save the Human Race.”

The Right Minister asked again, “His Majesty, the Snow Emperor has returned safely?”

Yue Xianjue nodded, “His Majesty has returned to the palace... His injury is not light. The White Mountain Black Waters Brute Race was not weak. Although it was a surprise attack, we still almost failed. At the critical moment, it was because His Majesty ignited his essence that we were able to succeed.”

“What?” Lin Zhen and the others’ face instantly changed.

Ignited his essence?

To think they had been forced to such an extent?

Yue Xianjue just said a few words, but everyone could imagine the thrill and danger at that moment. [Heavenly Book] lost years of yuan qi, and Snow Emperor ignited his essence. Even the thought of the alarming danger at that time was enough to make everyone break out in cold sweats.

This operation, because of the fast nature and confidentiality of the surprise attack, there was only the Snow Emperor and the [Heavenly Book] Yue Xianjue who knew about it. Once they were caught in a long battle, they would be exhausted to death.

“I’m glad the plan succeeded.” Lin Zheng rubbed at his temples, also feeling bursts of mental exhaustion.

Old Commander Li Guangbi’s gaze scanned across the crowd, and finally fell on Lin Zheng and Yu Feiyan, saying angrily, “Such a big matter and I didn’t know anything, you feel that this old man is no use anymore, right?”

Having not been able to participate in this plan of a hundred years, which could change heaven and earth, the brave old man felt annoyed and regretful.

Lin Zheng smiled. “Old Commander, please forgive us, just that you, your personality is too blunt, you cannot keep anything a secret. Also, you’re one of the targets of the demon souls that they focus their attention on, so we couldn’t tell you...”

The Old Commander grunted angrily, but no longer cared.

On the other side, Dugu Quan seemed to have noticed something all of a sudden. “No, there is another route... The Domain Gate of the Snow Ground Demon Race, who is going to destroy and seal it? Among the four major races, the Snow Ground Demon Race is the most powerful, and as they have not broken through Youyan Pass yet, their strength is centralized and would not be as easy as the other three major races. I am afraid it would be incredibly difficult to launch an attack on them.

The others immediately reacted, a feeling of tightening in their chest.

Because till now, there had been no news from the Snow Ground Demon Court route.

But the Princess smiled.

While the Apex Prince Yu Feiyan had a confident and calm look on his face. “This route is the route most likely to succeed. Everyone, no need to worry, the overall situation must have been settled.”
