Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 74: Longdu Count Yu Hanguang

Fang Chen is trapped at the Great Xia River? Baron Xian is Marquess Xianyu in disguise?

Everyone in the Imperial Library was stumped to hear that. Great Xias only Ki Manifestation martial artist was surrounded by a special squad led by Longdus Ki Manifestation martial artist. This didnt bode well!

Longdu never intended to negotiate with us, the emperor grimly said.

Your Majesty, Ill lead my men over to reinforce War God Fang! Xiao Shence clasped his fist and said.

Go on. If possible, work with Fang Chen to take down Longdus Ki Manifestation martial artist, the emperor replied with a nod.

Xiao Shence quickly took his leave.

The Imperial Armys commander Yan Beihan rushed into the Imperial Library and reported, Your Majesty, we have finished reinforcing the imperial palace. Even the Longdu cavalrymen wont be able to easily breach our defenses.

His movements were awkward, a sign that he hadnt recovered from his leg injuries. He was only keeping himself together with his inner ki, or else any other martial artist would have been bedridden for at least half a month after having their thighs pierced by an arrow.

Who told you to reinforce the imperial palace? This place will collapse if Longdu cavalrymen breach our city gates! the emperor roared. Send the imperial guards to the city gates instead!

But Your Majesty, your safety will be Yan Beihan was taken aback.

Ye Dongming and the others tried to dissuade the emperor too. No matter what, they should at least keep sufficient guards here to protect the emperor.

This is my order, the emperor ordered.

Yes, Your Majesty. Yan Beihan nodded before taking his leave.

Li Guozhu sighed. Your Majesty, this would make our imperial palace vulnerable. If someone tries to do something in the meantime

Who would attempt something at a time like this? the emperor sneered. Youre thinking too much. If theres nothing else, you may leave first.

Yes, Your Majesty

The officials bowed before backing out of the Imperial Library.

Ye Dongming anxiously took his leave. Li Guozhu and the others knew that he was in a rush to rescue his son, Ye Qinghe, who was currently with Marquess Xianyu.

Prime Minister, what should we do now? We dont stand a chance against Longdus 100,000 cavalrymen with our forces

Should we advise His Majesty to first retreat from the capital? We can return once the fight settles down

What are you thinking? Itll be harder to guard our capital if His Majesty leaves now. We can only leave it up to fate now. Weak scholars like us cant do much at a time like this. Li Guozhu shook his head before leaving with his hands behind his back.

The crowd exchanged looks, as they belatedly realized that none of their skills were important at a time like this.

Everyone in the Fang Manor was currently gathered in the main hall. Fang Chens mother took charge as Fang Canghai was busy at the eastern city gates.

She calmly looked at the flustered children of the Fang Manor and said, You need not worry. Longdu wont be able to breach our capital.

Upon hearing her words, the children slowly calmed down.

Just then, a soldier barged into the Fang Manor and asked, War God Fang! Is War God Fang here?

Someone quickly brought him into the main hall.

First Madam, General Fang has sent me here to inform the young master that Longdu has attacked our capital! the soldier half-kneeled before Fang Chens mother and reported.

Chener is not in the manor, Fang Chens mother replied.

War God Fang is not around? The soldier was taken aback.

Fang Zhixue anxiously asked, Mother, where is big brother?

Fang Chen glanced at Huang Sihai and asked, Where did your young master go?

Huang Sihai scratched his head. Jade Fairy Boat.

What?! My big brother went to such a place?! Fang Zhixue was infuriated.

Huang Sihai hurriedly explained, Seven Profound Saber Huangfu Jie from the southern region is here, so our young master brought him to the Jade Fairy Boat.

Chener should have heard about the situation by now and is on his way back, Fang Chens mother murmured under her breath.

Madam, Fang Chen wont be returning, a voice echoed.

Unbeknownst to the crowd, a black-robed figure had appeared at the entrance of the main hall. He had a pale complexion that sharply contrasted against his bright red lips and thick eyebags, making him look rather sinister.

Who are you? Huang Sihai asked with a frown.

Longdu Count Yu Hanguang, the black-robed figure replied with a smile. He walked into the main hall as he swept his gaze across the crowd before his eyes finally fell on Huang Sihai. Youre Huang Sihai, one of the Four Dragon Generals. The other three Dragon Generals were at pinnacle Ki Control, but they died in the Three Realms Mountain. Somehow, the one who is ignorant of martial cultivation survived the ordeal and returned to Great Xia alive. Fate can be surprising at times.

Yu Hanguang sneered.

Fang Chens mother glared at Yu Hanguang. You said Chener wont be returning. What do you mean by that?

You havent heard yet, Madam? Our Marquess Xianyu is in the city. Hes a mid Ki Manifestation martial artist, which means that hes even stronger than your son. Hes sharing a drink with your son at the Great Xia Rivers Jade Fairy Boat, so I doubt that youll see your son ever again.

Yu Hanguang chuckled. Fang Canghai is guarding the city gates, Fang Chen is tied down at the Great Xia River, and your old master is said to be in a life-and-death training seclusion and hasnt appeared for many years. The only one here is Huang Sihai, so

Marquess Xianyu dispatched me here to send you on your way. I hope that youll make things easier for me, so I can rush back in time to report this matter. I bet War God Fang will have an interesting expression on his face.

The Fang Clansmen were taken aback. The guards quickly stepped forward with their weapons with severe looks on their faces. Yu Hanguang had to be a Ki Control martial artist if he dared to come here despite knowing Huang Sihai was here.

Dont bother. Yu Hanguang is one of Longdus top experts, being at pinnacle Ki Control, Huang Sihai suddenly spoke up.

You heard about me? Yu Hanguangs eyes shone in glee. Ill give you a painless death then.

Youre going to die here, Huang Sihai said as he raised his hand and invoked a low-grade Purple Lightning Talisman.

He did have mid-grade Purple Lightning Talismans, but it would be a waste to use something so precious on a mere pinnacle Ki Control martial artist. As Fang Chens subordinate, he had to be thrifty on the other partys behalf.

A purple bolt of lightning struck Yu Hanguang, charring the man who was still confidently boasting a moment ago. White smoke drifted from his body, and his face was so badly burned that it was impossible to make out his features.

The crowd was stupefied.

It took Abbess Clearlotus a few moments before she snapped out of her daze and muttered Amithabha. She looked in a direction and murmured, You messed with the wrong person this time around. Dont be so foolish in your next life

What are you standing in a daze for? Clean up the place and dispose of his body! Huang Sihai yelled at the guards. He then turned to Fang Chens mother and clasped his fist, saying, Dont worry, Madam. The young master will be safe. Longdu has made a major miscalculation this time around.

Fang Chens mother exchanged gazes with Fang Cangyou, and smiles slowly emerged on their faces. She turned to Huang Sihai and said, Sihai, we have troubled you this time.

Im only doing what I should. Hehe! Huang Sihai chortled.
