"The clan elder was once the primary competitor to the Clan Leader during the selection. Due to a single misstep, he was unable to attain the position of Clan Leader, and has harbored resentment ever since.
When the Clan Leader's health declined, it was this second elder who immediately joined forces with other elders to imprison him. The Clan Leader's power was gradually divided, and Miss found herself in a precarious position within the clan, which is why she ended up in the Great Han. Miss, we must be wary of the second elder's arrival!
Li Shang frowned, his tone somewhat heavy.
"What do you think then?" Ling Xuan looked at Li Shang with a hint of panic. Li Shang was sent by her father to protect her and help her grow, guiding her through dangers. Especially after her father lost his power, Li Shang had forcefully carved out a path for her survival.
"Miss, in my humble opinion, the second elder must have made thorough preparations for this trip. If it were merely about expanding your business and posing no threat to the Clan Leader's selection, perhaps the urgency could be slightly eased. However, as it stands, it is unlikely to be so."
"The Great Han is developing too rapidly, and the Yuan force is extremely abundant. Once Miss revitalizes the commerce in the Great Xia, the generous resource income will not be inferior to that of a royal dynasty!"
"Miss, to be safe, you should make a trip to Chang'an City, the capital of the Great Han. If you can obtain the protection of the Great Xia, Miss will surely be safe!"
Li Shang tightened his brow. The second elder's journey would surely come at a great cost, potentially bribing some Spirit Venerable powerhouses from the royal dynasty. Spirit Venerables! He could not defeat them. In the Great Han, only the current Han King, Yang Hao, could contend with Spirit Venerable powerhouses. Especially that day, when Yang Hao sheathed his sword, he personally witnessed the magnificent dragon might of the Han King Yang Hao as he sealed off Zhang Zhou and Xie Xiao.
"In that case, let's make the trip!"
Ling Xuan frowned, her face etched with anxiety. The Ling family had become a hidden thorn in her heart, causing her constant, dull pain.
She couldn't help but cast her gaze towards the direction of Chang'an City in the Great Han!
After her arrival in the Great Han, in just a few short months, she had rapidly destroyed three dynasties that had endured for ten thousand years. Furthermore, she had slain Xie Xiao, subordinate to the second prince of the Holy Yuan Dynasty, and Zhang Zhou, a great general under the seventh prince, both of whom were Spirit Venerable powerhouses.
Strong!
In her heart, although the Great Han was currently a common dynasty, its overall strength was not inferior to a top-tier force in the Holy Yuan Dynasty.
If the Han King Yang Hao could protect her, then the second elder's arrival would be of no concern.
However, would the Han King agree?
...
After the Great Han thoroughly integrated Yan Yang, Tian Feng, and Ao Long, the Vermilion Bird Legion, Azure Dragon Legion, and Glutton Legion continued their advance towards the Northern Nether Dynasty, Moonfall Dynasty, and Southern Night Dynasty.
The Northern Nether Dynasty, Moonfall Dynasty, and Southern Night Dynasty had few experts in the Spirit Sea realm. The current strength of the three legions was sufficient to conquer them.
The Demon Vein Dynasty and Azure Ocean Dynasty were the final steps in the plan, as both dynasties possessed top-tier Spirit Sea powerhouses.
The three legions, via teleportation arrays, directly targeted the Northern Nether Dynasty, Moonfall Dynasty, and Southern Night Dynasty.
On the eve of the army's advance into the three dynasties, Yang Hao meticulously planned with Changsun Wuji, Li Si, and others. The Great Han was already in contact with the Holy Yuan Dynasty. To prevent potential dangers, everyone unanimously agreed that the three legions should advance lightly and swiftly penetrate the hearts of the three dynasties. Sudansu.com
A swift and decisive strike to quickly annex these moderately developed medium-sized dynasties.
...
On the eleventh day of the first month of the Great Han's reign, the Vermilion Bird Legion entered the Moonfall Dynasty. Under Chen Gong's strategy, the three armies advanced from the teleportation points, directly striking into the Moonfall Dynasty. Within two days, the three armies, with the speed of lightning, quickly captured several cities and directly breached the southern gate of the Moonfall Dynasty's capital – Beihu Mountain Pass.
With the fall of Beihu Mountain Pass, the southern gateway to the Moonfall Dynasty's capital, the entire Moonfall Dynasty was thrown into turmoil. The Great Han's might had already spread across the various dynasties, and even some forces in the Holy Yuan Dynasty had begun to pay attention to the Great Han.
The fall of Beihu Mountain Pass caused panic and unease among everyone in the Moonfall Dynasty, from the Moonfall Human King to the common people.
After experiencing a near-annihilation ten thousand years ago, the eight great dynasties, except for the Demon Vein Dynasty and Azure Ocean Dynasty which had sworn allegiance to the Holy Yuan Dynasty, had recovered to their peak from ten thousand years ago, possessing top-tier Spirit Sea powerhouses among the eight great dynasties.
Moonfall Dynasty Capital.
"My esteemed ministers, the Great Han army is pressing down on us and has broken our southern defenses. The situation is dire. The Great Han will undoubtedly advance their troops to the capital next. Do any of you have a strategy to repel the enemy?"
The Moonfall Human King frowned, filled with unease and a hint of regret. After the death of the Human King Mang, the Ao Long Dynasty had sent envoys to discuss a joint military action to destroy Tian Yue. Unfortunately, at that time, he believed that Tian Yue, after the destruction wrought by the Zhang family, was already depleted of Yuan force and resources.
Furthermore, the Moonfall Dynasty was far from Tian Yue, and the journey back would greatly deplete the nation's strength. There was no need to travel such a long distance to carve up a worthless Tian Yue.
Yet, when he next heard news of Tian Yue, a powerful dynasty had rapidly risen. Before anyone could react, it had swiftly devoured the Yan Yang Dynasty, Tian Feng Dynasty, and Ao Long Dynasty.
Even the second prince and seventh prince of the Holy Yuan Dynasty had not gained any advantage against the Great Han.
A dynasty had thus grown into a behemoth right under everyone's noses, a terrifying colossus capable of swallowing his Moonfall Dynasty in one gulp.
But now, with the army at their gates and having captured his most relied-upon southern gateway, the Great Han could march north and directly assault the capital without delay. He didn't even have time to mobilize troops.
As soon as the Moonfall Human King finished speaking, the assembled civil and military officials exchanged glances. The current Human King was a Spirit Sea realm expert, but the Great Han's commander, Gan Ning, was also a Spirit Sea realm expert. The Moonfall Dynasty had not planned to mobilize troops, and the entire nation had lived in peace. Who would have expected the Great Han to directly invade their borders?
There wasn't even enough time to mobilize troops. With the meager forces in the capital, how could they resist the might of the Great Han?
"What? Why aren't you speaking?"
"Can it be that my grand dynasty, with its full court of civil and military officials present, has not a single strategy to mobilize troops?"
"Are you all just going to stand here and wait to die!"
The Moonfall Human King looked at the silent officials in the hall and flew into a rage. With a roar, he shattered the royal desk in front of him.
"Your Majesty, please calm yourself!"
"Your Majesty, please calm yourself!"
The moment the Moonfall Human King shattered the royal desk, the officials trembled in fear, shouting in unison and kneeling, not daring to meet his gaze.
A plan!
What plan could there be? The time for troop assembly was insufficient, and the Great Han was filled with formidable experts, its army's combat power even more ferocious. How could they resist?"
