Chapter 278 Conspiracy
At night, Wang Mingli and his dozen or so men returned to the court of the Northern Liao King.
"Minister Wang! What in the world happened to you..."
Seeing Wang Mingli in such a wretched condition, Xiao Yun immediately asked with concern.
But before he could finish his sentence, Wang Mingli had already fainted.
Helplessly, Xiao Yun could only turn his gaze towards the dozen men.
The leader of the men spoke with a face full of helplessness, "My Lord, Gao Quan, the commander of the Sixth Army of the Northern Liao forces, Ling Wind, has entered the Imperial realm..."
"Today, he led his hundred warriors to ascend Thousand Blade Peak and left Minister Wang in this dreadful state..."
Upon hearing this, a flicker of fear crossed Xiao Yun's eyes.
The Imperial realm, the supreme realm of martial arts!
Since the great wars of the last century between the Dragon Kingdom and other nations, masters of the Imperial realm had disappeared into seclusion, leaving no trace.
Only royal families like the Xiao household in the Emperor's capital had one or two masters of the Imperial realm as minsters to stabilize the situation.@@@@
In the four major battle regions of the Dragon Kingdom, there had never been someone who reached the Imperial realm!
Yet now, a commander in the Northern Liao forces had reached this powerful realm; how could Xiao Yun not be shocked and fearful!
"Thousand Blade Peak has been taken away..."
Xiao Yun muttered to himself.
Among the four peaks near the Sky Desert River, Thousand Blade Peak had the most dangerous terrain. Securing control of Thousand Blade Peak meant a considerably better chance of victory in tomorrow's decisive battle with Ye Ling.
After all, in the decisive battle proposed by Ye Ling, one must hold all four peaks before contending for the Sky Rupture Bridge over the Sky Desert River.
If they couldn't even seize the peaks, how could they qualify to vie for the Sky Rupture Bridge?
"Is Young Master Xiao scared?"
Just then, a gentle laugh came from one side.
Xiao Yun immediately turned to the source of the sound, only to see a man in black who had, unbeknownst to him, already positioned himself nearby; the man's pitch-black eyes were fixed on him.
Feeling his gaze, Xiao Yun was inwardly shaken.
Suppressing the turmoil inside, Xiao Yun said with a grave voice, "Afraid? Brother Zhao, you jest. Ye Ling is but a lost dog, why would I fear him?"
"Brother Zhao, what are your thoughts on this?"
This Brother Zhao had appeared beside Xiao Yun on his first day entering Northern Liao.
Initially, Xiao Yun thought the man was an enemy and had sent Wang Mingli to capture him, but unexpectedly, Wang Mingli, a master of the Imperial realm, was not his match!
Even his mid-stage warlord strength could not fathom the power of these seven, their strength was imaginable.
And Xiao Yun was naturally aware of the Guardian Cranes behind these seven.
Not long ago, the news that Ye Ling had killed Long Valley's Qian Ji and taken the Kiju was not spread, but the Xiao family, with their resources, already knew of this news.
Therefore, Xiao Yun had no doubts about the intentions of these seven people.
"We naturally know, otherwise, we would not have come to find you tonight,"
the leader said coldly.
Xiao Yun nodded slightly, not minding his cold demeanor.
With such strength, what does a bit of temperament matter?
Besides, the Guardian Cranes backing them was a force as strong as the Xiao family, even capable of suppressing the Xiao family with stability!
"Then do the seven of you have any plans?"
Xiao Yun continued to ask.
"Young Master Xiao, rest assured, we have already come up with a plan, it's just a matter of whether you dare to execute it,"
the leader spoke indifferently. Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire
At these words, Xiao Yun couldn't help but snort internally.
As the young master of the Xiao family, could he be scared off?
He scoffed and said, "Speak, gentlemen! As long as it will eliminate Ye Ling, I, Xiao Yun, am willing to pay any price!"
"Young Master Xiao, you should remember what you have just said,"
the leader said lightly.
"Zhao, rest assured, Xiao's promise is worth its weight in gold, what does a small price matter as long as Ye Ling is eliminated?"
Xiao Yun said through gritted teeth.
"If that is the case, then please follow us, Young Master Xiao,"
As the words fell, the seven transformed into a fierce gust of wind and swept out, vanishing into the night in the blink of an eye.
...
Xiao Yun followed the steps of the seven, heading straight for the wilderness outside the royal courts.
Outside the royal courts, many people had already gathered at this moment, among them many were powerful warlords, and the rest were all grandmasters!
These people, from various forces, had now gathered at the Northern Liao royal courts, all for tomorrow's decisive battle between Ye Ling and Xiao Yun!
