569: Chapter 569 Qingyue is captured, using the emperor to command the feudal lords.

Hun Tiandi listened to Lan Xi, and the sequence of events became clear.

The two had met in the Beast Region. Lan Xi was a Nine Serene Earth Nether Python with mottled bloodline, holding a very low status.

Once, while Qing Yue was devouring the bloodline of a Nine Serene Earth Nether Python, she was wounded by an elder of the clan and fled, falling into a coma due to her heavy injuries.

She was saved by Lan Xi, escaping the pursuit of the Earth Nether Python clan's elder.

Later, upon learning Lan Xi's identity, Qing Yue did not take action against her; instead, she passed the Blood Refining Art that Hun Tiandi had given her to Lan Xi.

The Blood Refining Art could refine the bloodline of magical beasts, purifying impurities and raising the bloodline level.

After her injuries healed, Qing Yue and Lan Xi traveled together in the Beast Region, forging a deep friendship.

Later, the two found a thousand-year snake scale flower in a dangerous area of the Beast Region, a flower capable of purifying bloodlines.

Together, they defeated a peak Rank 8 magical beast, the Black Jade Ice Dragon!

Because of this, they were also severely injured, and after obtaining the thousand-year snake scale flower, they were discovered by people from the Starfall Pavilion.

Two Dou Zun experts!

Intending to be the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole follows behind, they sought to seize the snake scale flower.

Qing Yue had already been seriously injured in the fierce battle with the Black Jade Ice Dragon, and under the joint assault of the two Dou Zun experts, she was ultimately captured.

Helpless, Lan Xi could only flee and seek aid from Hun Tiandi!

“Starfall Pavilion!” Hun Tiandi took a deep breath. He hadn't originally planned to move against the Starfall Pavilion so soon.

However, trouble had found its way to his door after all!

“Someone, take Miss Lan Xi down to rest first, and arrange for Liu Ling to look after her!” Hun Tiandi looked up at the weak young girl and spoke.

“Yes, Miss Lan Xi, please follow me!” a eunuch said respectfully.

Hun Tiandi fell into deep thought, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the desk. He spoke indifferently: “Someone, summon General Ye Wudi, Yun Xiao, Wang Ku, and Liu Wuhen for an audience!”

“Yes!” someone outside the door responded.

In a moment, Ye Wudi and the other three entered the Star Palace together and bowed respectfully.

“Greetings, Your Majesty! May you live ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand times ten thousand years!”

“Rise!” Hun Tiandi spoke expressionlessly.

Subsequently, Hun Tiandi briefly explained the intelligence regarding Qing Yue's capture by the Starfall Pavilion. The four were startled, knowing that His Majesty was enraged.

Qing Yue was a maid by His Majesty's side; having been captured by the enemy, she had to be rescued.

“Your Majesty, if we move against the Starfall Pavilion now, I fear it will draw the attention of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance behind them...” Yun Xiao said after a slight hesitation.

“Hmph, then we shall fight the Heavenly Mansion Alliance together! Anyone who dares to provoke my Dazheng Empire deserves destruction!”

Ye Wudi’s burly frame was shrouded in flowing killing intent, as if possessed by a god of slaughter, his eyes burning with soaring battle intent.

“No, this battle cannot be won by force alone; it must be won through strategy!”

“Although our dynasty has advanced to an Empire, our strength is still somewhat insufficient if we were to face the Heavenly Mansion Alliance!”

Wang Ku spoke slowly.

“Wuhen, to what level have the Bochade Guard infiltrated the Starfall Pavilion?” Hun Tiandi turned to look at Liu Wuhen.

“In response to Your Majesty, the time has been too short. Our people are still only outer disciples of the Starfall Pavilion and cannot yet access the core!”

Liu Wuhen gave a slight bow and reported the Bochade Guard's intelligence.

Hun Tiandi nodded slightly, having already made a decision in his heart: “Qing Yue must be rescued. Since the Starfall Pavilion has made a move, then we shall go to war!”

“You may all withdraw. Liu Wuhen, stay behind!”

“Yes!” Ye Wudi and the other two withdrew.

Hun Tiandi flipped his hand and took out a command token. He intended to use this token to secretly contact the three Dou Zong experts of the Starfall Pavilion, including Tian Longzi.

Back then, he had suppressed and subdued the three brothers of the Tian Longzi family, sending them back to infiltrate the Starfall Pavilion.

It had been a casual move at the time, and he hadn't expected to be able to use it today.

“Yes!” Liu Wuhen took the token and walked out of the Star Palace.

At this time, Feng Qing'er and Lei Xuanji entered and began massaging Hun Tiandi.

“Did something happen?” Lei Xuanji asked.

“Yes, Qing Yue was captured by the Starfall Pavilion...” Hun Tiandi did not hide it.

“Could it be a trap set by the Starfall Pavilion?” Feng Qing'er said coldly. As the Clan Leader of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, she was accustomed to power struggles and schemes.

“Regardless of whether it is a trap, I must go...” Hun Tiandi said firmly.

“Fine, then you must be careful. This Empress does not want the child to lose their father before being born!” Feng Qing'er said, her words sharp but her heart soft.

The Underworld!

Hun Tiandi asked Li Jingzhong: “After half a day, what is the situation to the north of this forbidden zone?”

“This servant has only scouted some general information!”

“Speak.”

“In this Underworld, there are two Great Dynasties and two Holy Lands. North of the forbidden zone, there is a Fortune Dynasty called the Dahua Imperial Dynasty, with its capital at Hua City!” Li Jingzhong spoke.

“Dahua Imperial Dynasty? Hua City?” Hun Tiandi frowned slightly.

“Yes!” Li Jingzhong nodded.

“Find a way to take Hua City as a base!” Hun Tiandi said.

“Yes!” everyone responded.

The Mortal Realm, Starfall Pavilion.

In a great hall within the Tianxing Mountain Range sat three old men with deep, abyss-like auras; they were the three brothers of the Tian Longzi family.

“Reporting to the three Great Elders, outer disciple Jiao Yuan requests an audience!” a calm voice rang out.

“Enter!” Ren Longzi said coldly.

“Outer disciple, what is the matter?”

“Bochade Guard Jiao Yuan of the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty greets the three Great Elders!” Jiao Yuan gave a slight bow, then took out a command token from his storage ring.

“This is... Long live His Majesty, long live, long live!” The three Tian Longzi brothers saw the token, stood up abruptly, and gave a slight bow toward it.

“What message does His Majesty have?” Tian Longzi asked with a solemn expression.

“His Majesty’s oral decree: find the whereabouts of Qing Yue immediately!” Jiao Yuan spoke.

“Qing Yue? Could it be that girl who was captured...” Di Longzi frowned, seemingly thinking of something.

“You may go first; we will inform His Majesty when there is news!” Tian Longzi spoke, and Jiao Yuan did not stay any longer, turning to leave.

“Big Brother, are we really going to help that kid?” Ren Longzi said unwillingly.

“Silence! If you are disrespectful to His Majesty again, don't blame me for disregarding our brotherhood!” Tian Longzi scolded.

Ren Longzi looked aggrieved, not knowing why his elder brother was berating him.

“Third Brother, over these years, our cultivation has risen from the Dou Wang level to the one-star Dou Zong level. Those resources came from His Majesty!”

“If this task is not handled well, His Majesty will take back those resources, and we have already refined them!”

“The only way to take them back is through our demise; when a person dies, they are returned!”

Di Longzi said helplessly.

“Big Brother, Second Brother, just tell me what to do!” Ren Longzi suddenly woke up and said firmly.

“First, let's gather some information!” Tian Longzi’s eyes flickered with calculation as he spoke slowly.

Everything in the Mortal Realm continued as usual, with the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty accumulating strength.

Meanwhile, in the Underworld, Hun Tiandi handed over matters to Shui Xing as a test for him.

In half a year's time, relying on Shui Xing's great wisdom and the assistance of Elder Dan and Mr. Corpse Soul, they successfully took over as the City Lord of Hua City.

Hua City, City Lord's Manor!

After celebrating with everyone, Hun Tiandi saw off all the guests and brought ten more people over from the Mortal Realm.

“Your Majesty, Hua City has been successfully taken. We finally have a place to stay!” Shui Xing said with a smile.

“Not enough. I want the entire Dahua Imperial Dynasty!” Ambition filled the depths of Hun Tiandi's eyes.

“Dahua Imperial Dynasty? Does Your Majesty need to dispatch troops?” Mr. Corpse Soul frowned.

“Dispatch troops?” Hun Tiandi asked in confusion.

“Without dispatching troops, how can we take the Dahua Imperial Dynasty?” Mr. Corpse Soul shook his head.

“Your Majesty, let this servant charge directly into the imperial palace and slaughter them all!” Li Jingzhong said crudely.

Hearing Li Jingzhong's words, everyone rolled their eyes.

“No, killing the imperial family will only cause more trouble. The various cities would fall into chaos or seek refuge with other dynasties!” Shui Xing smiled.

“Attacking city by city? That's also not realistic?” Elder Dan frowned.

“What do you think, Shui Xing?” Hun Tiandi asked.

“I, Yuan Yi, will take the Dahua Imperial Dynasty and slowly integrate the troops through leadership...” Shui Xing requested the assignment.

“Too slow. I believe in your ability to lead troops, but in terms of the world's general situation, your analysis is not as thorough as Yun Xiao's?” Hun Tiandi said.

Hun Tiandi used Yun Xiao's name to give Shui Xing a gentle warning!

“To become a peerless commander, besides brilliant calculations, one must also understand politics!”

“To seize the entire Dahua Imperial Dynasty, we need to use a clever strategy!”

“What clever strategy?” Shui Xing asked.

“Hold the Emperor to command the vassals!” Hun Tiandi said in a deep voice.
