Chapter 50 A Critical Situation (1/2)
Zhang Yunyan and the accompanying soldiers did not feel the ground was shaking or hear a rumbling sound. They could not perceive the emergency situation in the distant capital city, so they did not agree with the words of the imperial master.
They thought that Xiao Tianlong must be a little bit anxious with an illusion of nothingness since he had been out for many years. He must connect that illusion with the feeling of leaving his hometown for a long time, so he gained unnecessary tension and fears.
The soldiers believed that if there were strong enemies invaded, someone would come to report to them. However, they did not receive any news.
They were in Tongtian Hole all the time and did not contact with the capital. There was no one coming to report the situation, which meant that everything was as usual.
Everyone felt that there would be no enemy invasion and tried to ease the imperial master.
Xiao Tianlong still insisted on his forecast and did not agree with the others' explanation and comfort, but still urged to move faster.
When they were rushing towards the capital, a troop of cavalry came towards them with several carriages among them, arising fine sand flying up in the air. It seemed that they were in a hurry.
When getting close, the two sides stopped. For a second, they looked at each other, showing out a look of suspicion.
It turned out that the carriages were guarded by soldiers. A few important ministers of Tianyue Country were sitting on the carriages.
Xiao Tianlong saw that ministers were so panicked, knowing that things were going wrong. He asked immediately and heard that some strong enemies were invading their country.
At this time, the emperor of Yingtian Country and Ninth Heaven Condor joined hand with a group of monsters were invading Tianyue Country. Tianyue Country was totally surrounded by them and it was in great danger.
The imperial master and the first prince did not come back and lost connection for three years. The emperor and the ministers were out of hope.
In the face of the invading enemy and without the help of the powerful imperial master, the emperor was extremely nervous and felt the disaster was coming. He decided to coexist with the country.
Although the emperor had no hope for the imperial master and the first prince, there was no other way for them at the time of the country's life and death. He could only set his hope on the long-disappeared Xiao Tianlong and the first prince.
He hurriedly recruited several ministers and asked them to hide in the Tongtian Hole to wait for the return of the first prince and the imperial master. Then, they could assist the first prince to drive the invaders away and revive the Tianyue Country.
Since Xiao Tianlong and the first prince left by the Tongtian Precious Carriage, the emperor and ministers were always worried about them, fearing that they would meet dangers.
When time passed by, the emperor became more and more nervous, upset, and panic. He was anxious about the safety of the imperial master and the first prince.
Now, the imperial master and the first prince had left for more than three years, but did not return yet. He had a bad feeling and was afraid that what he was worried about had become a truth.
The emperor felt things went worse. Since they could not get any information of the imperial master and the first prince, the Tongtian Precious Carriage might be wrong; or they might meet some danger in the alienated world thousands of years later. They might be dying in dangers and could not return.
At the time of life and death, the emperor was desperate but not gave up. He could not give up even though there was no way out. He could only set his hope on the first prince and the imperial master.
The emperor repeatedly ordered these ministers that they must be patient to wait for their return and assist the first prince with all their best to drive the enemy away and revive the country as soon as possible.
Xiao Tianlong frowned and was confused about the invasion of enemies. If the Tianyue Country was in danger, why would the other five countries of their union ignore? How could it reach this precarious level?
The ministers sighed and simply told him that the five countries in the union had been conquered by Yingtian Country and had signed the contract to surrender. Then, the disaster fell on Tianyue Country.
Xiao Tianlong was shocked and even more puzzled. The power of the Six Countries Union could not be underestimated. How could it be defeated so soon? Even with the help of Ninth Heaven Condor and the other monsters, the Yingtian Country could not conquer the five countries so easily. So, why was it changing so fast?
He saw the situation was so fierce and it even threaten the fate of his country. He was surprised and puzzled. He asked for details.
The ministers looked sad and shook their heads. They were not willing to recall their memories.
They told him that not long ago, the six countries agreed to hold a party to enjoy the beautiful scenery in Mount Yucui. They discussed some major events and gathered together to promote friendship.
However, the emperor of Yingtian Country discovered this feast and thought they should seize this chance, so they schemed a plan secretly.
At that time, the emperor and Ninth Heaven Condor would lead the elite soldiers to sneak into the Mount Yucui and captured all the emperors.
At that time, the emperor of Tianyue Country did not come for body condition. The first prince did not return and the second prince was guarding the border. He did not be captured.
Under the coercion of strong enemies, the emperors had to sign the contract of humiliation. They promised to sent parts of their territories and needed to pay tribute every year. They also had to send the princes to Tianying Country as hostages.
Since then, the five countries all became the subordinated countries of Yingtian Country while the Six Countries Union no longer existed.
The emperor of Yingtian Country and Ninth Heaven Condor conquered the five countries successfully and felt really excited. Their ambition of hegemony enhanced and decided to conquer Tianyue Country as follow.
They heard that Xiao Tianlong was not at home, so they were happy and confident to swallow this piece of fat as soon as possible. They seized this great opportunity to prepare for a while and immediately attacked Tianyue Country. Now, this country was in great danger.
Xiao Tianlong learned this situation and felt worrier. He was regretted not returning soon. If he was in Mount Yucui, he would not let the enemy succeed and there would be no danger today.
He silently lamented that he had no way to get rid of the unexpected disaster in the alienated world by himself. It was a blessing in the unfortunate to be able to return to the motherland today.
After knowing the truth, Zhang Yunyan was shocked. It was too horrible that the war came so soon. She was worried about the safety of people, anxious about the survival of Tianyue Country, and surprised by Xiao Tianlong's extraordinary perception.
Xiao Tianlong was an extraordinary expert indeed. In such a long distance, he could even tell it was made by intruder just from the shaking of the ground. When hearing the sound of rumble, he could feel all the capital was in danger.
In this regards, the imperial master had profound cultivation, whose abilities were unparalleled. He was not only a genius of Tianyue Country, even in her world, but there were also few who could compare with him.
The war had already reached the capital. It was the time of life and death for Tianyue Country. Zhang Yunyan was worried about the fate of this unfamiliar country and her own situation. She did not know what the outcome would be and what her results would be.
