244: Chaos is imminent

Seeing Ye Kong's expression change drastically, everyone was very confused.

Ye Kong didn't speak, continuing to read.

"A letter to General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong. My life is short. I now issue this edict, hoping General Ye will consider the common people and protect the citizens of the Dragon Nation."

"Currently, there are many conflicts within the Imperial Capital, making it impossible to summon the General to the Imperial Capital to receive rewards. This is truly regrettable."

"As long as I am here, I will ensure the Human Race is safe. If I pass away from illness in the future, the world will fall into chaos, heroes will rise, and the Ten Thousand Race will invade."

"I now observe the Ten Kingdoms of the Human Race and have not seen anyone capable of taking on such a great responsibility. Only General Ye possesses extraordinary courage and both wisdom and bravery."

"However, his Realm has not yet advanced to God, and he is single-handedly weak, making it difficult to cope with the various powerful families."

"Therefore, I have not dared to entrust him with the great task of the nation. I hope the General understands."

"I sincerely wish General Ye to protect the Human Race, then my heart will be at ease."

Ye Kong read it, breaking out in a cold sweat. He hadn't expected the Emperor to be so gravely ill, and to humble himself so much, wanting to entrust the nation's future to him.

Ye Kong shook his head, believing that his contributions to the Human Race were not yet sufficient to assume the Emperor's position, so he continued to read.

"As for the Xiandeng Camp and Zhenwei Camp soldiers, they are ordered to return to the Imperial Capital within five days to prepare for the final battle."

After Ye Kong finished reading, he didn't know what this final battle referred to, so he handed the edict to Wen Gan and asked, "General Wen Gan, what does the Emperor mean by the final battle?"

Wen Gan and Liu Che both read it and were greatly shocked, just like Ye Kong.

"The Emperor's final battle must refer to those super families who aspire to the throne. Once the Emperor passes away, they will surely make their move."

"We hope General Ye will forgive us. We will prepare today and return to the Imperial Capital tomorrow."

Ye Kong frowned, lost in thought.

The Emperor, who cared for the Human Race, must have been heartbroken. Even in his serious illness, he still wanted to entrust the nation to him.

Now, facing the threat of the super families, how could he stand by and do nothing?

Moreover, he was well aware of the arrogance of those powerful families, and he had also become a thorn in their side. If they truly seized the throne in the future, what kind of situation would await him?

Furthermore, there were families colluding with the Alien Race. How could he know that the families usurping the throne were unrelated to the Alien Race?

If that were the case, the Human Race would be in peril.

Thinking of this, Ye Kong immediately stood up and said, "I will go with you!"

Wen Gan and Liu Che were stunned, very surprised.

"General Ye, this..."

Xue Ruyu stepped forward and asked, "Ye Kong, what exactly is going on?"

Ye Kong explained the Emperor's edict to everyone, and for a moment, everyone fell silent.

Xue Ruyu said, "Ye Kong, have you thought this through? If you go to the Imperial Capital, you will be drawn into the power struggles between the strongest families of the Human Race and the Imperial Capital."

"At that time, Wuji City, as a frontline city resisting the Alien Race, will not be able to send troops to the Imperial Capital to save you."

"Moreover, the super families are terrifying; there might even be a situation where two Gods join forces against you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Kong was very grateful to Xue Ruyu and said, "Thank you, Commander Xue, for your concern. However, in my opinion, if these power-hungry individuals seize the throne, it will only accelerate the demise of the Human Race."

"So I have no choice but to go. If any super family wants to kill me, then let them come. I, Ye Kong, will never be an ostrich!"

"The Emperor granted me a divine personality and gave me the opportunity to conquer the Alien Race. Now that the Emperor is in trouble, I cannot pretend not to see it."

Seeing that Ye Kong had made up his mind, Xue Ruyu sighed and stopped trying to persuade him.

"Alright, I will inform Senior Yang. Take this jade pendant."

"This is the coordinate power enchanted by Senior Yang."

Xue Ruyu handed a jade pendant from her waist to Ye Kong.

Ye Kong shook his head, wanting to refuse, but Xue Ruyu's expression immediately changed as she said, "If you don't take it, I won't feel at ease with you going to the Imperial Capital!"

Seeing Xue Ruyu's anxious expression, Ye Kong still nodded and accepted the jade pendant.

"Alright, I hope I won't have a need to use it."

This jade pendant contained the coordinate power of the God Yang Wuji, which meant that in a critical moment when Ye Kong was in danger, Yang Wuji could cross the Void Realm through the coordinate power. The coordinate power of a God was absolutely one of the most powerful safeguards in this world.

After putting away the jade pendant, Ye Kong looked at everyone and said, "Soldiers of the Xiandeng Camp and Zhenwei Camp, quickly prepare your forces. We depart tomorrow to enter the capital and aid the Emperor!"

...The next day, the gates of Wuji City opened wide, and the rumbling sound of war horns echoed. Ye Kong rode a Xiandeng Camp Crocodile Horse, standing before the city gates.

The original owner of this Crocodile Horse had died during the campaign against the Alien Race Mountains. Now Ye Kong had become its new owner.

The two camps of the Rebellion Suppression Army, the Zhenwei Camp and the Xiandeng Camp, had already lined up.

Citizens on both sides of the street waved goodbye to Ye Kong, making it a lively scene.

"General Ye, come again if you have the chance!"

"Welcome General Ye to Wuji City anytime!"

"General Ye, have a safe journey."

Xue Ruyu also stepped forward. Her entire demeanor felt less aloof to Ye Kong than before, but rather very warm.

"Ye Kong, take care."

"Commander Xue, take care!"

Turning his horse around, Ye Kong gave the order.

"Guard the capital, depart!"

The soldiers shouted in unison, "Guard the capital!"

The Rebellion Suppression Army's organization, excluding Xue Ruyu's unit, retained only the Xiandeng Camp and Zhenwei Camp, nearly a thousand men.

The previous losses were mainly concentrated during the Xiandeng Camp's mission to lure the enemy... The news of Ye Kong leading troops north from Wuji City to the Imperial Capital quickly spread to the royal families and major powerful families of the Ten Kingdoms of the Human Race. They had different interpretations of Ye Kong's actions.

In the eyes of most super families, Ye Kong had undoubtedly taken a stand against them...

"Don't let Ye Kong enter the Imperial Capital. Stop him halfway."

The head of a super family secretly summoned several strong individuals from their family.

The strong individuals looked at each other and asked, "Patriarch, do you mean we stop him, or directly..."

The former did not continue speaking.

The Patriarch's eyes showed a fierce glint as he said, "Ye Kong is currently the General Who Suppresses Rebellion, a prominent figure in the Human Race. Do not act against him lightly, unless he insists on going to the Imperial Capital."

"In that case, I don't need to tell you what to do, do I?"

"Understood!"

Meanwhile, in an Alien Race valley thousands of miles away, the Alien Race once again gathered to hold a Ten Thousand Race conference.

"Why haven't the Snake Gall Tribe and Rakshasa Tribe arrived?"

"I heard that the Giant God of the Giant Stone Tribe has also gone missing."

The creatures of the Ten Thousand Race still didn't know what had happened. Previously, people from the Rakshasa Tribe and Snake Gall Tribe had said that the Human Race was very likely to send troops to conquer the Ten Thousand Race and called for a united front, but everyone didn't believe it.

At that time, there was a big fire in the Imperial Capital, and the Alien Race all thought that the Human Race would not send troops so quickly.

However, when the news came that the Human Rebellion Quelling Army had departed from Wuji City and appeared on the Ten Thousand Race Battlefield, they finally believed it. But none of them took it seriously, after all, the Snake Gall Tribe and Rakshasa Tribe had Gods guarding them.

"Everyone quiet!" An elder walked to the high platform in the center.

The Ten Thousand Race immediately fell silent.

"It's now clear: Tun Tian and Rakshasa are dead."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Ten Thousand Race were shocked!

Everyone erupted into an uproar!

"This is impossible!"
