43: Lin Xuan: I was set up by capital.

At this time, inside a city within the territory of the Zhan Shen Dynasty.

After searching for a day, the trio of Lin Zilong finally found a suitable target.

"He's the one. This person is guilty of many crimes, a perfect pretext to start a war with the Zhan Shen Dynasty."

Lin Zilong extended his Divine Sense, and after finding a suitable target, he looked at Song Tianan and Zhao Wuyu.

The two vice-generals were also itching with anger at the moment. After receiving Lin Zilong's permission, they approached the target.

In a small alley, a young man was seen roughly grabbing a virtuous young woman, muttering to himself.

"I am a member of the imperial family! Do you know who my father is? My father is Lin Qifeng!"

The young man's name was Lin Xuan, a genuine member of the imperial family, and Lin Qifeng was one of the princes.

The virtuous woman pinned beneath him had a Face full of terror, weeping bitterly.

"Young Master Lin, I beg you to spare me. I have a fiancé, please."

"Beg? Begging is useless. If your fiancé found out, he would only obediently send you to my bed."

Lin Xuan grinned hideously, paying no heed to the woman's words.

In this Pingfeng City, who dared to provoke him!

But at that moment, Song Tianan and Zhao Wuyu, who had already disguised themselves, jumped out and shouted angrily at Lin Xuan.

"Let go of that girl!"

Seeing someone jump out, a flash of impatience crossed Lin Xuan's Face.

"Who is looking for death? Steward Lin, cripple them for me!"

As a member of the imperial family and the son of a prince, Lin Xuan naturally had a Dao protector.

Following Lin Xuan's command, a Peak Nascent Soul Cultivator appeared in the next instant, striking at Song Tianan and Zhao Wuyu with a palm, sending them flying. They hit the ground, their auras dissipating.

Meanwhile, Steward Lin looked puzzled, glancing at his own hand.

How could he, a Peak Nascent Soul, not turn two Mortals into a blood mist with one strike?

Could it be that he was getting weak?

But before Steward Lin could react, a terrifying aura descended in the next moment, directly suppressing him.

"Damn it, you actually dared to kill my men!"

"What!"

Steward Lin was instantly jolted awake, as was Lin Xuan not far away.

Lin Zilong appeared, his Face full of fury as he looked at the two.

"Senior, this Senior, we are members of the imperial family. Please, for the sake of the Zhan Shen Dynasty, spare us!"

Steward Lin reacted quickly and hurriedly begged for mercy.

Someone who could suppress him with just their pressure was at least a Void Refining expert. To oppose such an expert was simply seeking death, wasn't it?

"That's right, Senior. My father is the Ninth Prince. You can't kill me. If you do, you'll be making an enemy of the entire Zhan Shen Dynasty!"

Lin Xuan spoke very quickly; Steward Lin couldn't stop him at all.

Inside, Lin Zilong was ecstatic.

Yes, exactly like this! This was exactly what he wanted!

But on the surface, Lin Zilong's Face showed incomparable rage.

"Insulting a virtuous woman in broad daylight, and then even killing my men when they tried to stop you? Your Zhan Shen Dynasty has some nerve."

"My Ancient Heavenly Dynasty will not swallow this insult. From this day forth, my Ancient Heavenly Dynasty declares war on your Zhan Shen Dynasty!"

Lin Xuan: ???

Steward Lin: ????

Wait, brother, you should have said earlier that you were from the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty!

Lin Xuan instantly snapped out of it and began weeping bitterly to Lin Zilong: "Brother, brother, I know I was wrong. Please spare me, I really didn't mean it!"

Lin Xuan had learned a bit about the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty recently. If his father found out he had provoked them, he would probably be chopped into a human stump and sent to the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty as an apology.

"You don't know you're wrong; you just know you're about to die. Today, my Ancient Heavenly Dynasty will act on behalf of heaven and take over your Zhan Shen Dynasty!"

"Now, go peacefully!"

As Lin Zilong's words fell, Lin Xuan and Steward Lin could no longer speak as their bodies directly exploded.

With a gap of three major Realms, even Steward Lin couldn't withstand Lin Zilong's power.

A crowd of Pingfeng City citizens had already gathered around the alley, and they had seen everything that had happened.

So when they saw Lin Xuan being killed, they all clapped and cheered excitedly.

After all, Lin Xuan had relied on his imperial status to act tyrannically in Pingfeng City; it could be said that every virtuous woman in the city had been targeted by him.

Lin Xuan's death was truly satisfying to the people.

Looking back at Song Tianan and Zhao Wuyu, who had been lying on the ground, they had already disappeared at some unknown point.

With a command from Lin Zilong, the army that had been waiting at the border for a long time marched grandly toward the capital of the Zhan Shen Dynasty.

Before long, the news reached Lin Qiye.

"Your Majesty, this is bad! The Ancient Heavenly Dynasty says a member of our imperial family attacked them, so they have unilaterally declared war on us."

"An army of seventy thousand is currently marching toward the capital."

The Eunuch reported tremulously, kneeling before Lin Qiye.

"What!"

Lin Qiye's expression changed drastically. He scrambled up from a woman's belly, his pupils trembling.

He never expected there to be such a fool in the imperial family who would actually provoke people from the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty.

But now was not the time for blame; the most important thing was to resolve this matter quickly.

So, after putting on his clothes, Lin Qiye rushed to the Old Ancestor.

But the Old Ancestor's Face was grim as he roared, "Damn it, the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty is actually setting us up!"

"Setting us up? Old Ancestor, what do you mean by that?"

Lin Qiye was stunned, and a bold guess suddenly formed in his mind.

"What else could it mean? If the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty wants to annex our Zhan Shen Dynasty legitimately, they need a legitimate reason."

"This incident is just a pretext."

"Even if a member of the imperial family hadn't provoked them, they definitely would have still made a move."

The Old Ancestor of the Zhan Shen Dynasty was named Lin Feng, a Peak Saint who had lived for four thousand years.

With his experience, he naturally guessed the truth behind it instantly.

Ever since the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty annexed the Dayan Dynasty, he had anticipated today's events.

"Damn it, Old Ancestor, let's fight them to the end."

Lin Qiye soon understood what the Old Ancestor meant and suggested with a dark expression.

But in return, he received a slap from the Old Ancestor.

"Fight? What do we have to fight the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty with? Are you going to use your womanizing skills to fight them?"

Lin Qiye's Face turned red from the Old Ancestor's scolding, but he didn't dare to talk back.

After scolding Lin Qiye, Lin Feng slumped down weakly and waved his hand at him, saying, "Go. In my name, surrender to the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty."

"Only by taking the initiative to surrender to the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty now can we preserve our lives."

Hearing this, Lin Qiye also lost all his strength in an instant, his Face pale as he spoke.

"Old Ancestor, I understand."

After Lin Qiye left, Lin Feng looked toward the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty with a bitter smile and muttered, "Gu Daotian, is this also part of your plan? Just what kind of Opportunity did you obtain to make the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty become so much stronger all of a sudden?"

Gu Daotian: I have no idea.

But regardless, Lin Feng knew that the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty's goal was definitely not limited to this. Next, the Ten Suns Dynasty and the Zhenbei Dynasty would likely also fall victim to the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty.

Thinking that those two dynasties would also be taken over by the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty in the future, Lin Feng felt much better.
