Chapter 165: The isolated and helpless Great Yan Dynasty!
The Great Yan Palace!
"What? The Fourth Emperor is dead?"
"How is this possible? The Fourth Emperor is at the peak of the Yin-Yang Realm. How could he die from a mere beast tide?"
When the news of Xiao Qinghe's death came from the imperial mausoleum, Xiao Lintian's face became extremely ugly. He never thought that Xiao Qinghe, with his strength at the peak of Yin-Yang Realm, would die under the beast tide!
"Check! Where is the Shadow Guard?"
As soon as Xiao Lintian finished speaking, a group of figures wearing black clothes and black armor, holding black scimitars and wearing evil ghost masks appeared in front of him!
"You all must immediately sneak into the Northern Wasteland and gather all available information!"
"According to the order!"
After receiving the order, the shadow guards disappeared from the spot in an instant. These shadow guards were Xiao Lintian’s direct confidants secretly cultivated, and their status was even higher than that of the royal city’s imperial guards!
Each shadow guard has the strength of at least the fifth level of the Xuanyou Realm. In addition to protecting the emperor, their duty is to obey the orders of Xiao Lintian alone. The imperial power is supreme!
"The Fourth Emperor is dead. Could it be that Beihuang City has been breached?"
"What kind of accident happened in the Desolate Abyss? Could it be that a demon king has appeared?"
At this moment, Xiao Lintian's expression could no longer remain calm. After all, Xiao Qinghe was at the peak of the Yin-Yang Realm, and the only one who could kill him was the Demon King in the Abyss!
If the Demon King from the Abyss really comes out, then the Great Yan Dynasty will be put in a passive position. At that time, it may be necessary to understand the background of the dynasty. Such a major event is no longer something he can decide!
"Pass on my order to immediately summon Crown Prince Xiao Li, Third Prince Xiao Jue, Marquis of Wu'an Murong Yunfeng, the left and right prime ministers, and General Qianji..."
After calling out the names of several people in succession, the eunuchs who delivered the imperial decree came out of the palace and summoned these people into the imperial study. In an instant, the entire imperial study was filled with people. These people were all important officials of the dynasty and the heir to the throne!
"Da da da~~~"
Looking at the ministers below, Xiao Lintian tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, which made the ministers below look at each other in confusion.
Xiao Lintian went to so much trouble to call everyone here, there must be something very important, but now he doesn't say a word, which makes everyone feel a little uneasy!
Only Murong Yunfeng looked at Xiao Lintian calmly. A little red light flashed in his golden thousand-year eyes, and then a storm suddenly arose in his heart!
"Zongqin Prince Xiao Qinghe is dead!"
Just these words made the pupils of everyone present tremble violently, and there was even a look of horror in their eyes;
These ministers naturally knew something about the existence of the imperial mausoleum. After all, two of them were about to enter the imperial mausoleum for retreat, so they naturally knew what Xiao Qinghe's death meant.
"Your Majesty! I wonder who killed the prince?"
"Desolate Abyss!"
Although there were only two words, it still made everyone present change their expressions slightly. After all, there might be only one possibility to kill a peak Yin-Yang realm master like the clan prince!
The Demon King of the Abyss!
When they thought that it was most likely the Demon King of the Wild Abyss who took action, a wave of shock rose in everyone's hearts. After all, the Great Yan Dynasty did not have a strong man in the realm of creation to face the Demon King of the Wild Abyss!
"I don't know yet whether it was the Demon King of the Desolate Abyss who made the move!"
"However, I have already sent people to find out the news. My dear ministers, please stay here with me and wait for the news!"
Xiao Lintian swept his gaze over everyone one by one, memorizing their expressions one by one, especially Crown Prince Xiao Li and Third Prince Xiao Jue!
As the two princes who are most likely to ascend the throne of the Great Yan Dynasty in the future, their every move is related to the future of the Great Yan Dynasty. This can be regarded as a test from Xiao Lintian for them!
Faced with unknown dangers, how will the two react and what choices will they make? This reaction and choice will also determine who will take that position in the future.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the entire imperial study became extremely solemn. The two princes, Xiao Li and Xiao Jue, were on pins and needles, and they began to make all kinds of plans in their minds!
Now neither of them knows what kind of changes have occurred in the desolate abyss?
If a demon king really appeared in the wilderness and wanted to attack the Great Yan Dynasty, the Great Yan Dynasty would probably face the crisis of national destruction.
With the strength of the Great Yan Dynasty, even if they summoned the dynasty's heritage, they would probably not be able to fight against the Demon King of the Desolate Abyss. In the end, it would probably be a one-sided crushing defeat.
It was naturally impossible for the two princes to commit suicide by burying their lives for the country, so they were both planning to pack up their belongings and run away before the crisis of national destruction came!
But then again, if there is no Demon King born in Huangyuan, or if the Demon King who is born just wants to occupy a place, then the Great Yan Dynasty will naturally have a way out!
Therefore, before getting the exact news, the two princes naturally did not dare to make any moves, and even showed a righteous expression on their faces!
"Father! If a demon king truly appears, can we seek help from the Qianling Tianzong or the higher-level dynasties?"
The words of Crown Prince Xiao Li suddenly woke everyone up. Not to mention the Qianling Tianzong, these sects and forces would not interfere in the affairs of the dynasty, but it was different for the superior dynasty!
As a vassal dynasty of the Dafeng Dynasty, the Dayan Dynasty would pay tribute to the Dafeng Dynasty every year, and the Dafeng Dynasty should naturally protect its vassal dynasty!
"Qianling Tianzong? Dafeng Dynasty?"
Hearing what Crown Prince Xiao Li said, Xiao Lintian couldn't help but sigh, then shook his head and said: "I have contacted the Great Phoenix Dynasty through the magic circle, but the Great Phoenix Dynasty rejected my request!"
"What? The Great Phoenix Dynasty refused?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. After all, the Great Yan Dynasty was still a subsidiary dynasty of the Great Phoenix Dynasty. Why would the Great Phoenix Dynasty watch someone die without helping?
"Something unexpected happened in the Great Phoenix Dynasty!"
"It seems that the Empress of the Great Phoenix Dynasty has been missing for several months, and there are reports that the Empress is trapped in a desperate situation. All forces in the Great Phoenix Dynasty are ready to make a move!"
"In addition, there are people from the higher-level imperial dynasty coming to the Dafeng Dynasty. It seems that a prince in the imperial dynasty has taken a fancy to the empress of Dafeng and wants to make her his imperial consort!"
"The Great Phoenix Dynasty is currently searching for the Empress and has no time to care about the affairs of the dynasty!"
"What? The Empress is missing?"
After hearing this news, the expressions on everyone's faces were a little different, but everyone now had only one thought in their mind, that is, the Dafeng Dynasty would never come to support the Dayan Dynasty!
For the imperial dynasty, the life or death of a dynasty was of no importance at all, as under one dynasty there were at least several, or even dozens, of subordinate dynasties;
When one subordinate dynasty collapsed, a new subordinate dynasty would be re-established, so for the Dafeng Dynasty, the Dayan Dynasty was a dog that could be discarded at any time!
