Chapter 454 – The Grave Of The Grea (1/2)

The Souleater Corps was the strongest army that the Exalted Han Empire revealed on the surface, and it was entirely formed from Spirit Realm experts. The Exalted Han Empire spent around 20% of the yearly gains in its National Treasury to foster this army, and it was exactly the reason why this army was capable of instilling fear in the extraordinary sects!

At this moment, the Souleater Corps were camped outside Ancient Domain City. Or to be more precise, Ancient Domain City was surrounded by it. After all, the first thing they had to do after arriving at the southern territory was to find somewhere to set up their basecamp, and Ancient Domain City had was definitely their best choice. However, the state within Ancient Domain City was complicated, and even the Exalted Han Empire didn’t dare underestimate the powers that resided here!

There were only two ways for it to enter Ancient Domain City. The first was the take the city by force, and the second was to obtain the permission of those powers and the City Governor of Ancient Domain City. In the beginning, Luo Jun had chosen to negotiate instead of attacking, but it was obvious that the negotiations weren’t that smooth. So, this scene where the Souleater Corps surrounded the city had appeared!

Before long, An Nanjing, Qing, Hong, and the others received orders to return to Ancient Domain City, and Yang Ye knew that the situation there was probably very bad.

“Isn’t that fellow, Luo Jun, afraid of infuriating those extraordinary sects from the central territory and the two An Clans by surrounding the city?” Yang Ye asked An Nanjing who was sitting in front of him.

“In the past, the Exalted Han Empire wouldn’t dare do that no matter what, but now… those powers within the city will refuse to join forces against the Exalted Han Empire,” said An Nanjing.

Yang Ye was puzzled. “Why?”

“The birth of the Mortal Emperor represents that the continent is about to be united, so how many would be wiling to offend the future overlord of the continent? Moreover, those powers had originally joined forces and guarded Ancient Domain City because of the Hidden Dragon PaG.o.da. But now, everyone knows that the white dragon beneath the paG.o.da has left it, so Ancient Domain City isn’t of any use to those extraordinary sects when this benefit is gone. After all, the benefits within the city have been practically fully seized by my two An Clans and the City Governor. So, it’s probably only my An Clan and the City Governor who would go against the Exalted Han Empire!” said An Nanjing.

“Will they be able to resist the Exalted Han Empire?” Yang Ye said in a low voice, “100,000 Spirit Realm experts would probably even be able to crush a Monarch Realm expert, right? How will your clans resist that army?”

“Don’t underestimate the An Clan and the City Governor’s Estate!” An Nanjing spoke flatly. “Since we’ve been able to survive for thousands of years, we naturally have our own trump cards. If it comes to the point where we have no choice but to fight, then it wouldn’t be very difficult to annihilate that army with the joint forces of the two An Clans and the City Governor’s Estate. The reason we’ve been summoned back is probably because they’re worried the Exalted Han Empire would dispatch other armies or experts to the southern territory!”

Yang Ye remained silent for a moment, and then he said, “I’ll go back with all of you!”

An Nanjing glanced at Yang Ye with surprise and said, “Why?”

“Because we can be considered to be friends now!” Yang Ye smiled and said, “Since we’re friends, then how could I not lend a hand when me friend is facing difficulty? Even though I’m all alone, I’ll absolutely not refuse if you need my help with anything.”

“Friends?” An Nanjing blinked. She seemed to be very puzzled by this word, or it should be said that she wasn’t accustomed to it.

“Are we not?” Yang Ye said, “Let me put it this way. If we were to fight, and I lost the battle. Would you still think as you did in the past? Would you think that I’m useless to you and kill me if you had the chance?”

An Nanjing pondered deeply for a moment, and then she shook her head.

Yang Ye was just about to speak when An Nanjing said, “That outcome doesn’t make sense because I can’t kill you.”

Yang Ye was speechless.

“But no matter what, it really makes me feel nice to hear those words you spoke!” An Nanjing continued.

“Which words?”

“I won’t tell you. Think about it yourself!”

Yang Ye felt speechless again.

After he promised to return to Ancient Domain City with An Nanjing and the others, Yang Ye left the Darkbeast Empire and arrived at Death Abyss.

Yang Ye walked over to Elder Mu’s cottage and bowed. He was just about to speak when Elder Mu’s voice suddenly came from within it. “Come in!”

In there? Yang Ye was slightly astounded. After all, Elder Mu had never asked him to enter the cottage in the past. Even if he was very curious about what resided inside it, he’d never asked to enter it. Because he knew that since Elder Mu hadn’t allowed him to enter, then there was definitely a reason behind it.

But now, he hadn’t expected that Elder Mu would actually ask him to enter!
