48: Chapter 48 The Relationship Behind Fenglin Kingdom, Xuan Yin Valley?

"Explain in detail!"

Xia Jin did not show any worry; he continued to leisurely pick up a piece of pastry and put it into his mouth to chew slowly.

Seeing his Elder brother's calm and indifferent demeanor, Emperor Xia Yu immediately relaxed a little.

"Elder brother, everything was originally going smoothly. Following your plan, we dispatched a cavalry unit of over a thousand men, equipped them with the standard armor and flags of Fenglin Kingdom, and launched a surprise raid under the cover of night, wiping out hundreds of Dayuan border soldiers in a single night."

"Afterward, Miss Su also used a forged imperial edict and military tally from the Dayuan ruler to successfully mobilize fifty thousand Dayuan border troops to launch a sneak attack on Fenglin Kingdom. The two countries are now at daggers drawn, and a great war is imminent."

"But no one expected that the Yuehua Dynasty would directly intervene with troops! Their ace army, the five thousand 'Red-Clad Iron Cavalry', swept through everything like a hot knife through butter, defeating the Dayuan border troops repeatedly. Now, they have forced the remnants of Dayuan to their capital, beneath the walls of Tianwan City!"

Xia Jin frowned slightly.

"Yuehua Dynasty? They would actually mobilize so extensively for Fenglin Kingdom? And they even dispatched five thousand 'Red-Clad Iron Cavalry'?"

The Red-Clad Iron Cavalry of the Yuehua Dynasty were a cavalry force renowned throughout the Eastern Region. Every member was composed of Martial Artists at the Innate Realm, equipped with superior gear, and they were far from comparable to ordinary armies. The entire Yuehua Dynasty only possessed ten thousand such cavalrymen, yet this time they actually dispatched half to assist Fenglin Kingdom?

This matter was definitely not simple.

"Since when did Fenglin Kingdom have such great Face to be able to invite the Yuehua Dynasty to take action?" Xia Jin looked at Emperor Xia Yu, a flash of doubt in his eyes.

Emperor Xia Yu showed some hesitation on his Face; his lips moved, but he stopped himself from speaking.

"Enough, just speak your mind! In front of me, there is no need to be evasive."

Emperor Xia Yu took a deep breath. "Elder brother, I once accidentally heard a rumor that might be related to this matter."

"It is rumored that the eldest princess of Fenglin Kingdom has been gifted since childhood and has already been noticed by an Elder of the top Sect in the Central Region, Xuanyin Valley, and was accepted as a Personal Disciple against the rules. And the Yuehua Dynasty also has a princess who is a Disciple of Xuanyin Valley..."

"I suspect that the reason the Yuehua Dynasty is sparing no effort to send troops to assist Fenglin Kingdom is likely because of this connection."

"The Central Region? Xuanyin Valley?" Xia Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

He hadn't expected this matter to involve the Central Region again.

One must know that on the Dongxuan Continent, the Central Region is indisputably the strongest. And the top Sects of the Central Region are even more of a behemoth to the current nations of the Eastern Region.

"Don't worry about other matters for now. Compile all the information you have collected about Xuanyin Valley into a booklet and send it to me." Xia Jin was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Yes, Elder brother, I will have Commander Qin Hu handle it immediately!" Emperor Xia Yu replied immediately.

But then, he hesitated for a moment. "Elder brother, then... should we temporarily remain still and wait and see? After all, this Fenglin Kingdom involves a Sect from the Central Region..."

Xia Jin picked up his teacup and took a gentle sip, a chill flashing in the depths of his eyes.

"Hmph! So what if it is Xuanyin Valley? Since the footsteps of the Great Xia have already begun, they will not stop. The Eastern Region will eventually only appear on the map of the Great Xia."

Looking at the confident Xia Jin, Emperor Xia Yu's heart shook, and the unease in his heart settled down a lot.

"This younger brother understands!"

Just one hour after Emperor Xia Yu left.

Commander Qin Hu held a thin booklet and walked quickly into the Prince Jin Palace. "Your Highness, this is all the information we have been able to collect regarding Xuanyin Valley so far. Please take a look."

As he spoke, he handed the booklet over.

Xia Jin took the booklet and casually opened the first page.

Xuanyin Valley

Current Valley Master: Leng Yuexi

Cultivation: Third Level of the Spirit Wandering Realm

She succeeded as the Valley Master of Xuanyin Valley and has been in charge of Xuanyin Valley for ten years. Because of her Cultivation Technique, she extremely detests males and holds deep wariness and hatred toward all men in the world.

Just as he saw this information, the System notification sound rang in his mind again:

[Ding! Key information detected: 'Xuanyin Valley Master Leng Yuexi'... Information matching... Match successful!]

[Triggered Selection Task: Peak of Xuanyin]

[Task 1: Defeat Xuanyin Valley Master Leng Yuexi. Reward: Three Hundred Years of Cultivation!]

[Task 2: Subdue Xuanyin Valley Master Leng Yuexi. Reward: Shenxiao Lightning Technique (Entry-Level), Four Hundred Years of Cultivation!]

[The Host may freely complete one of these tasks; at the same time, after completing the task, you will also receive the corresponding reward.]

"Wait!! What is this thing..." Xia Jin's pupils suddenly contracted, and the hand holding the booklet exerted a slight force.

"Shenxiao Lightning Technique?! There is actually this kind of reward?"

His heart jumped violently.

Lightning Technique! This is not an ordinary martial art. In many legends, it has absolutely transcended the category of mundane martial arts!

He never expected that the System would actually reward this this time?

However, when his gaze swept to the description of Leng Yuexi's temperament, especially the words "extremely detests males", it was as if a basin of ice water had been poured over him.

Defeating a powerhouse at the Third Level of the Spirit Wandering Realm might not be a difficult task for himself now!

Even making himself subdue an ordinary existence at the Third Level of the Spirit Wandering Realm is not impossible! But as it happens, the System wants him to subdue a woman who is at the Third Level of the Spirit Wandering Realm and extremely detests men?

This...

Xia Jin's Face turned a bit dark instantly, and the veins on his forehead couldn't help but twitch a few times.

"System, are you playing with me?" He couldn't help but complain in his heart, "What is the difference between this second option and telling me directly 'this path is blocked'?!"

Sighing helplessly, he didn't even have the desire to continue reading, so he closed the booklet and then tossed it to Commander Qin Hu.

"Your... Your Highness, the rest... are you not going to read it?" Commander Qin Hu hurriedly caught the booklet, his eyes full of confusion.

"No need!!" Xia Jin stood up directly.

"Go back and tell Emperor Xia Yu," Xia Jin said as he walked toward the outside of the hall, "Everything is to proceed according to the original plan. I will handle this matter of Xuanyin Valley and the Yuehua Dynasty myself! Tell him there is no need to worry."

After speaking, his figure was already outside the palace gate.

Commander Qin Hu only felt a blur before his eyes; Xia Jin's figure had already become indistinct. The next moment, a stream of light soared into the sky from Prince Jin Palace and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

"Walking on air? What kind of cultivation must His Highness have to be able to do this?" Commander Qin Hu held the booklet, staring blankly at the figure of Xia Jin as he disappeared, his Face full of awe.

He bowed deeply in the direction Xia Jin had left, then immediately turned around to execute the order.

High above the sky,

"Five thousand 'Red-Clad Iron Cavalry'?" A trace of disdain appeared on Xia Jin's Face. "Hmph! In the eyes of ordinary people, they might be unshakable, but in front of this Prince now... they are nothing more than clay chickens and pottery dogs!"

No matter how strong the Red-Clad Iron Cavalry is, each individual is only at the Innate Realm. Between the Innate Realm and the Spirit Wandering Realm, there are three whole major Realms separating them: the Xiaoyao Heavenly Realm, the Great Grandmaster, and the Grandmaster!
