Chapter 446 (1/2)

Chapter 446

In the middle of the sixth month of the year 87**, the beast-men race launched an attack on the western border of the Nalan Empire. Although the border army of the Nalan Empire was prepared to some extent, they were still defeated. This was because Nalan Wen and Nalan Wu used the military seal to call back a large half of the army. The remaining forces were defeated after a tragic battle and they suffered heavy casualties.

The beast-men army drove straight into the Nalan Empire. They burned, looted, and plundered. There was no evil which they did not commit. At the same time, several kingdoms and princ.i.p.alities also dispatched their troops. They started to annex the territory of the Nalan Empire. Now, the entire empire sank into deep waters and scorching fire. The empire which stood strong for thousands of years started to crumble.

In Blue Moon City, people were in a state of anxiety. Many ministers urged the two princes to temporarily dispatch troops to resolve the disaster the empire was facing. However, those two trash princes only l.u.s.ted for power. They disregarded the ministers and h.o.a.rded all of their troops in the cities around Blue Moon City. They didn’t trust each other at all. They were afraid that the other party would launch a sudden attack when they were dispatching their troops. It would be terrible if that actually happened.

In the Emerald Mist Pavilion, Long Yi was sitting inside a luxurious compartment. He had been feeling ill at ease since he received the news of the beast-men invasion. It was such a huge matter and Long Yi was afraid that the blockade by the Violent Dragon Legion would become useless. The moment the Nalan Empire’s legions learned the truth, they would definitely lose all will to fight. The advantage they had over the Proud Moon Empire would disappear in a day.

All of a sudden, there was a sound of ringing. Mu Hanyan pushed the door open before entering the compartment. Sitting beside Long Yi, she had a smile on her face as she asked him, “Why on earth do you have such a sour look on your face? Did I offend you somewhere?”

“You already know the problem, yet you are still asking about it. The situation has already reached this stage.  If you’re not going to act, I’ll start to make my move.” Long Yi was in a bad mood and he snapped at her. Nalan Wen and Nalan Wu, those two pieces of trash must disappear right now. If they were to cause any more trouble, the Nalan Empire would be in danger.

“What’s the hurry? The best time to strike isn’t here yet. Making a move now will only provide others with a chance to gossip about us. If Nalan Ruyue is ascended to the throne now, let’s not talk about whether the common people will accept her rule.

Some people will even direct their spearhead at you. You don’t want that to happen right?” Mu Hanyan breathe out a breath full of orchid fragrance and placed her chin on his shoulders. She took the chance to press her towering mounds onto Long Yi’s arm.

“I know that. However, even if we don’t talk about the matter of putting Nalan Ruyue on the throne, those people hiding in the shadows will not wait for me to put everything in place. This is a critical situation. The moment the two legions of the Nalan Empire withdraw from the Yatesianna defense line, all of our efforts will go down the drain. Think about it, how can I not be anxious?” Long Yi hugged Mu Hanyan’s slender waist and sighed.

With a grin on her face, Mu Hanyan slowly replied Long Yi, “Okay, don’t worry. Since I said that I will help you, I will not go back on my words. I haven’t made my move as the opportune moment has yet to come. However, looking at the conflict between those two right now, don’t you think that it will be interesting if we make things more intense?”

Long Yi’s eyes shone and he immediately understood what Mu Hanyan meant. He smirked and said, “When those two trash clash against each other, there will definitely be fights. If the two of them die in the midst of the chaos, that will be perfect. However, I have some things to prepare before that can happen.” Long Yi pinched Mu Hanyan’s waist and his eyes shone with a profound light.

Leaving Emerald Mist Pavilion, Long Yi directly went to the Light Church in Blue Moon City. He wanted to speak with Holy Priest Karen. As long as she personally declared that Nalan Ruyue ascending the throne was the Light G.o.d’s decree, everything would be much easier. Even if the common people felt that they couldn’t accept the fact that there was going to be a first Empress governing the Nalan Empire, the backlash wouldn’t be too extreme.

Since the time the Nalan Empire fell into chaos, endless streams of people would enter the Light Church in order to pray. All of them knelt in front of the Light G.o.d’s sculpture in the hall as they prayed. They begged for the Light G.o.d to bless and protect the Nalan Empire and to the chaos end.

Long Yi quickly pa.s.sed the lobby and proceeded towards the rear hall. The rear hall also had a statue of the Light G.o.d, and it was where the people from the Light G.o.d would cultivate.

Originally, Long Yi wanted to look for someone to notify Holy Priest Karen. However, he dropped the idea after thinking about it for a bit. It was better if lesser people know about his visit. This was to avoid rumors from spreading and to ensure that people couldn’t accuse Long Yi in the future.

The

future.

The moment he pa.s.sed the lobby, he reached the interior of the church. There were many light warriors guarding the place. Although they were extremely strong, they were nothing compared to Long Yi. Long Yi didn’t have a hard time avoiding them as he walked deeper into the church.

After he avoided several groups of light warriors, Long Yi arrived at the rear hall of the Light Church. Although the door wasn’t closed, the inside of the hall was very quiet. He looked inside and saw a beautiful figure who wore a red robe kneeling in front of the Light G.o.d’s statue. She had her palms placed together and she seemed to have entered some kind of ethereal state.

“It’s Kexin… Why is she the only one here?” Long Yi thought as he stood at the entrance. He hesitated and didn’t want to walk into the hall as Dongfang Kexin’s att.i.tude towards him was extremely strange. A few days ago, when the Holy Law Enforcement Team were investigating the rumor involving Nalan Wu, they came into contact many times. However, she looked at him with disgust and disdain in her eyes. She also appeared as though Long Yi was not qualified enough to talk to her. She didn’t say a single word to him.

When Long Yi was thinking whether to walk into the hall, a group of light warriors appeared from around the corner. If Long Yi continued to stand there, he was bound to be discovered. Without hesitating any longer, Long Yi raised his leg and entered the hall. He walked step by step towards Dongfang Kexin.

Dongfang Kexin’s closed eyes snapped open and saw that there was a long shadow covering her. She turned her face to look at the person causing the shadow, but she was unable to see the face clearly. The lighting in the hall was really too poor. However, just by looking at the tall figure walking towards her, she could feel an indescribable pressure coming from him.

Getting up and walking two steps to the side, Dongfang Kexin finally saw the person walking over. He was actually Long Yi. He was looking at the statue of the Light G.o.d with his hands folded in front of his chest and his eyes had a trace of disdain in them. That was something she was unable to bear.

“Why did you come here?” Dongfang Kexin glared at Long Yi and snapped at him.

“You don’t seem to want to see me.” Long Yi gave an irrelevant answer.

Dongfang Kexin’s behavior was really abnormal.

“Looking at you for even a second more will make my eyes dirty. The Light Church will not welcome a person like you. You have a mind full of evil. Leave immediately!”  Dongfang Kexin coldly snorted. That disgusted look wasn’t an act.
