Chapter 1351 -1041: Why Does This Law Manifestation Look So Much Like the Ancestor’s Law Manifestation?
As soon as Pei Tianlu finished speaking, a Quasi-Emperor hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, what are you saying? It is we who have failed to protect the Chiyue Dynasty and even surrendered to the enemy.”
Pei Tianlu responded, “I am now loyal to the Heavenly Emperor and no longer your emperor. Do not address me like that in the future.”
Everyone’s gaze fell on Lu Chen. They knew that the person in front of them was a Great Emperor, but they were somewhat puzzled. How could Pei Tianlu, with his strength, willingly serve this young Great Emperor?
Pei Tianlu continued, “It is not your fault; after all, the Chiyue Dynasty wronged you first. Besides, the Daxia Dynasty should not be considered your enemy.”
Everyone thought about it and found it made some sense. Since the founder of the Chiyue Dynasty had already pledged allegiance to the emperor of the Daxia Dynasty, as Pei Tianlu’s followers, it seemed reasonable for them to do the same for this Heavenly Emperor of the Daxia Dynasty.
At this moment, those dozen Quasi-Emperors spoke in unison to Lu Chen, “We pay our respects to Your Majesty, the Heavenly Emperor!”
Lu Chen said, “Stand up, all of you.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
This bow from the Quasi-Emperors signified their official departure from the Chiyue Dynasty and their integration into the Daxia Dynasty.
At this moment, a Quasi-Emperor said, “Your Majesty, a few days ago, the entire Ye Family migrated from the Chiyue Dynasty. Is this related to the Daxia Dynasty?”
Pei Tianlu answered on behalf of Lu Chen, “The Ye Family, allied with the Qingyun Dynasty, attacked the Daxia Dynasty. After the Qingyun Dynasty was defeated, the Ye Family’s ancestor used a secret technique to escape the battlefield.”
Upon hearing Pei Tianlu’s answer, the Quasi-Emperors present were shocked. A previously unknown new dynasty had managed to defeat the Ye Family and the Qingyun Dynasty. No wonder the Qingyun Dynasty had not sent reinforcements to the Chiyue Dynasty frontlines.
It seemed this Heavenly Emperor was more formidable than they had imagined.
Indeed, anyone who could earn Pei Tianlu’s wholehearted allegiance could not be an ordinary person.
Lu Chen then said, “All right, we should make haste.”
The Chiyue Dynasty did not even have a Great Emperor. Lu Chen did not plan to waste much time here. He wanted to conquer the Chiyue Dynasty quickly so he could move on to the Qingyun Dynasty.
Subsequently, Lu Chen and his fleet continued their advance towards the Emperor Star of the Chiyue Dynasty.
A month later.
Chiyue Dynasty, Imperial Palace.
In the Imperial Study Room.
Pei Wenfu looked at the war reports sent from various star domains in recent days, his expression extremely grim.
In just one month, over half of the star domains under the Chiyue Dynasty’s control had fallen into the hands of the Daxia Dynasty’s army.
Pei Wenfu felt something was amiss. He remembered many domain lords were firm supporters of the Chiyue Dynasty, but according to the intelligence gathered, most domain lords had surrendered without any resistance.
This greatly unsettled Pei Wenfu. The mass surrender of domain lords meant that the public’s support had crumbled. If they completely lost the public’s support, the Chiyue Dynasty’s Qi Fortune would easily be stripped away by the Daxia Dynasty.
Feeling anxious, Pei Wenfu muttered, “I wonder if the diplomatic envoy has met with the ruler of the Daxia Dynasty.”
At the current pace of the Daxia Dynasty’s offensive, it would not be long before their army appeared on the Emperor Star. By then, it would be too late for negotiations.
Pei Wenfu paced back and forth in the Imperial Study Room, desperately trying to think of a way to survive this crisis.
Just then, a guard entered the study with a piece of intelligence, “Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!”
Upon hearing those words, Pei Wenfu’s face turned even paler. “Something terrible has happened” was the phrase he had heard most frequently over the past month.
Pei Wenfu impatiently asked, “Which star domain has fallen this time?”
The guard respectfully presented the intelligence, “A number of royal family members, along with a large number of soldiers, have appeared on the frontline, intending to fight the Daxia Dynasty to the death!”
Upon hearing the guard’s report, Pei Wenfu’s face turned ashen. He quickly took the jade slip from the guard’s hands and infused it with spiritual power.
In an instant, the intelligence from the jade slip appeared in mid-air. Seeing the contents, Pei Wenfu’s body trembled with fury.
“These old fools! What are they doing!”
“Are they trying to get me killed?”
He had just sent an envoy to the frontline for negotiations, but now these royal family members had taken troops to fight the Daxia Dynasty to the death. If the Daxia Dynasty discovered that these people were royal family members of the Chiyue Dynasty, would their emperor think it was all his doing?
In that case, the negotiations would become a farce.
Pei Wenfu quickly realized that these old folks clearly did not want him to negotiate; they wanted to provoke a war between the Daxia Dynasty and the Chiyue Dynasty.
Clenching his fists, Pei Wenfu made a decision. He could not let those old folks ruin his plans. He would personally go to the frontline to negotiate.
…
Tianluo Star Domain.
Several Immortal Boats quietly hovered in the void, facing hundreds of starships glistening with metallic luster.
Pei Nian stood on the deck of an Immortal Boat, feeling a bit intimidated by the sight of such a vast starship fleet.
A soldier beside Pei Nian remarked, “Strange, why hasn’t the Daxia Dynasty attacked yet?”
On their way to the frontline, they had heard that the situation at the front was dire: the Daxia Dynasty’s army had already occupied half of the Chiyue Dynasty’s star domains.
Logically, the Daxia Dynasty should be aiming to take down the entire Chiyue Dynasty at once. So why had they stopped?
Pei Nian was pondering this and was about to send someone to investigate when a figure suddenly appeared in front of their Immortal Boat.
“By order of the Heavenly Emperor, those of the Chiyue Dynasty’s royal family who surrender will not be killed!”
Before Pei Nian and his group reached the frontline, Pei Tianlu had already sensed their presence through the Bloodline Power. He realized these Pei Family members did not come to surrender but to fight the Daxia Dynasty to the death.
This gave Pei Tianlu a glimmer of comfort, knowing that not all his descendants were like Pei Wenfu.
Hearing the message in the void, Pei Nian coldly snorted, “Even if we die, we will never surrender.”
As Pei Nian spoke, a Quasi-Emperor of the Pei Family loudly commanded, “Attack! Let these invaders know that our Pei Family’s star domains are not so easily taken!”
Immediately, Pei Nian and several Pei Family Quasi-Emperors left the Immortal Boat and attacked the distant starships, intending to destroy them.
However, at that moment, a colossal Golden Body Dharma Form suddenly appeared in front of the Daxia fleet, and a tremendous pressure surged forth.
Feeling the Great Emperor’s pressure, Pei Nian and the others gritted their teeth.
The Quasi-Emperors could barely withstand the pressure, but the Saints and cultivators below them suffered immensely, feeling as though their bones were being crushed by the weight.
At this moment, Pei Nian saw the Dharma Form in front of him and was momentarily dazed.
He raised his withered arm and rubbed his eyes.
He could hardly believe his eyes.
This Dharma Form looked astonishingly similar to their ancestral Dharma Form!
