27: The rules of my ancient imperial dynasty are the only rules.

"Your Majesty, please appease your anger. But other than a Saint taking action, what other reason could there be for General Qin's death?"

In the imperial court, the Left Prime Minister stepped forward with a solemn expression.

His words successfully allowed Xu Fengnian to calm down.

Indeed, other than a Saint taking action, who else would have the ability to kill a Saint like General Qin?

"Good, very good. I didn't expect the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty to expose such a weakness on their own. In that case, report this to the Tiannan Supreme!"

Thinking of something, Xu Fengnian's eyes lit up, and he gave the order with a wave of his hand.

But at this moment, the Right Chancellor also spoke up.

"Your Majesty, given the current distance of the Ancient Heaven Army, I'm afraid our Dayan Imperial Capital will be destroyed long before the Tiannan Supreme can act."

"Then what do you suggest we do? Reporting it won't work, and not reporting it won't work either. Are we just supposed to wait for death?"

"None of you are useful when it matters. What use do I have for you all?"

Xu Fengnian stood up and, in a fit of rage, randomly struck a minister to death with his palm.

Seeing this, the assembled ministers trembled in fear, terrified that Xu Fengnian would strike them down next.

The Left Prime Minister quickly spoke up, "Your Majesty, we can set up Formations along the way to delay the Ancient Heaven Army."

"At the same time, we should head to the Fierce Blade Dynasty and ask them to send experts for support."

"As long as the Fierce Blade Dynasty gets involved, our Dayan Dynasty's safety can be guaranteed."

"In that case, go and do it immediately."

Xu Fengnian calmed down and looked at the Left Prime Minister, issuing the command.

"I will have the Old Ancestor go to the Fierce Blade Dynasty to seek help. You must hold out for one day."

"Yes, Sovereign."

After speaking, Xu Fengnian did not dare to delay for a second and rushed into the palace's Forbidden Ground.

At this time, Xu Fengyuan was in secluded cultivation.

Having been so humiliated by Gu Hu previously, he was desperate to become stronger.

Seeing Xu Fengnian's hurried and anxious face, Xu Fengyuan frowned slightly, his tone dissatisfied.

"Didn't I tell you? Be calm in all things."

"How can you have the bearing of a Sovereign like this?"

But Xu Fengnian couldn't listen at all. If the Old Ancestor knew what had happened, he would probably be even more anxious than himself.

"Old Ancestor, this is bad! The Ancient Heaven Army is less than a thousand miles from the Imperial Capital."

"Isn't it just... Wait, what did you say? The Ancient Heaven Army?"

Xu Fengyuan immediately lost his composure and stood up with a grave expression.

"Where is General Qin? Didn't General Qin lead the army to resist the Ancient Heaven Army?"

"An army of a hundred thousand is just gone?"

"Yes, it seems a Saint from the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty's side took action. Now, I ask the Old Ancestor to quickly go to the Fierce Blade Dynasty to seek help!"

Upon hearing the purpose of the visit, Xu Fengyuan immediately recalled the fear of being dominated and humiliated by those two Great Saints, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

However, he quickly reacted.

"Hold out for a while. I, your Old Ancestor, will go to the Fierce Blade Dynasty for reinforcements!"

With that, he soared into the sky, heading straight for the Fierce Blade Dynasty.

Only if the Fierce Blade Dynasty sent a Saint King Powerhouse could they resist those two Great Saints; otherwise, his Dayan Dynasty would surely be destroyed.

As for the laws set by the Tiannan Supreme, he naturally knew he could use them to have the Tiannan Supreme destroy the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty.

But if they waited for the Tiannan Supreme to act, their Dayan Dynasty would have long been wiped out by the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty.

Even if the Tiannan Supreme investigated afterward, it wouldn't change anything.

Watching the Old Ancestor leave, Xu Fengnian looked toward the direction of the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty with a heavy expression.

After some thought, he decided to take action personally.

Although he was the Sovereign, his attainments in the path of Formations were extremely high.

If he personally set up a Formation, he estimated he could delay the Ancient Heaven Army for a period of time.

Provided that those two Great Saints didn't intervene... "General Lin, the Dayan Imperial Capital is nine hundred miles away. I expect the military strength there to be even greater. Do we need to proceed with caution?"

In the military camp, Song Tianan looked toward the Dayan Imperial Capital with a serious expression.

But Lin Zilong was completely undaunted. "What is there to fear? Seniors Gu Long and Gu Hu are at the Peak Saint King realm. The ones who should be afraid are not us, but Xu Fengnian and his people."

"Pass down my command: advance at full speed. Strive to take the Dayan Imperial Capital by tomorrow!"

Since Lin Zilong had said so, Song Tianan and Zhao Wuyu had no choice but to obey.

The army of a hundred thousand advanced rapidly, getting closer and closer to the Dayan Imperial Capital.

Soon, the army arrived at a vast plain.

Sensing something, Lin Zilong's expression changed.

"Not good, stop!"

But before the army could halt, Formation runes glowing with a red light emerged from the ground.

In the distance, Xu Fengnian breathed a sigh of relief as he saw the Ancient Heaven Army enter the range of his grand Formation.

Because time was tight, what he had set up was not a Killing Formation, but a Trapping Formation.

Even so, this hastily arranged Rank Eight Formation was enough to trap them for a day, allowing the Old Ancestor to bring back reinforcements from the Fierce Blade Dynasty.

But at that moment, a wave of coldness enveloped Xu Fengnian's entire body.

"Not good!"

As he stiffly turned his head, he saw a nightmare-like figure appearing behind him.

It was Gu Hu.

Gu Hu acted directly, grabbing Xu Fengnian by the neck.

In an instant, he sealed Xu Fengnian's entire Saint-level cultivation.

Looking not far away, Gu Long appeared. With a single step, he shattered the Rank Eight Trapping Formation that held the hundred thousand troops.

"Thank you for your assistance, Seniors."

Seeing Gu Long and Gu Hu take action, Lin Zilong finally breathed a sigh of relief and bowed in thanks.

The two said nothing. Gu Hu threw the sealed Xu Fengnian over to Lin Zilong.

Looking at the man before him, Lin Zilong sneered.

"Isn't this the famous Xu Fengnian? How did you end up as a prisoner?"

Being so humiliated by Lin Zilong, Xu Fengnian naturally could not bear it.

"Damn you! My Dayan Dynasty has become a vassal of the Fierce Blade Dynasty. You dare to move against us? Are you not afraid of the Fierce Blade Dynasty's retaliation?"

"Furthermore, the Tiannan Supreme has ordered that Saints must not interfere in the struggles between dynasties. Your Ancient Heavenly Dynasty has already broken the rules!"

Facing Xu Fengnian's threats, Lin Zilong remained completely indifferent.

He believed in His Majesty. Since His Majesty said he did not fear the Tiannan Supreme, then he naturally would not fear him either.

"A mere Fierce Blade Dynasty—if they come, we shall simply destroy them as well."

"As for the Tiannan Supreme, I naturally respect him, but his rules are outdated. Now, the rules of my Ancient Heavenly Dynasty are the only rules!"

"You!"

Xu Fengnian was beyond shocked, clearly not expecting Lin Zilong to be arrogant to such an extent.

But before he could say anything more, Lin Zilong waved his hand and silenced him.

"Take him away. I want him to watch with his own eyes as not a single member of the Dayan Royal Family is left alive."

"Yes!"

Ignoring Xu Fengnian's fury, two experts in the Divine Power Realm came forward to drag him away.

Lin Zilong then looked toward the direction of the Dayan Imperial Capital.

At this moment, they were less than four hundred miles from the Dayan Imperial Capital.
