"Grand Tutor Wen, do you think the Lord has gone mad?"
"What do you mean?"
Grand Tutor Wen stopped, his brow furrowed.
"The Lord only has this one imperial son. If Prince Shangguan dies, who will inherit the throne in the future?" Jiu Tian Wu Gui spoke directly, without any reservation.
"You mustn't speak such nonsense!"
Grand Tutor Wen quickly said, "If the Lord hears this, your life may be in danger!"
"That's precisely why I'm talking to you about it!"
Jiu Tian Wu Gui stated, "In recent years, the Lord's temperament has changed drastically!"
"These are not matters we can discuss!"
Grand Tutor Wen said directly, "When we return to the military camp, you must keep your mouth shut, or your life will be at risk!"
"Thank you for the reminder, Grand Tutor Wen!"
Jiu Tian Wu Gui quickly cupped his fists. He was very aware that these were not things he could casually discuss, or it would bring about utter disaster.
Not long after, Grand Tutor Wen arrived at the military camp. "Lord, all arrangements are in place. As soon as the Lord gives the order, we can capture Tianxian City!"
"Just you lot?"
Emperor Jiu Tian sneered, "If that were the case, we would have dealt with the White Dragon Dynasty long ago. Why would I need to come personally!"
"It is my subordinates' incompetence!"
Grand Tutor Wen cupped his fists, not daring to argue. He knew very well that before the Lord, everything was subordinate to the Lord.
"Tian Sha, come in!"
Emperor Jiu Tian's voice was icy. A figure instantly entered the military camp.
Grand Tutor Wen was surprised to see this, not expecting Tian Sha to be here.
In the Jiu Tian Dynasty, Tian Sha's status was second only to Emperor Jiu Tian. The Tian Sha Guard he commanded was invincible and the sharpest weapon of the Jiu Tian Dynasty.
This was because every member of the Tian Sha Guard was at the Venerable realm. To date, the entire Tian Sha Guard numbered over thirty-six.
In other words, the Tian Sha Guard had thirty-six Venerables. Such a formidable force was simply something the White Dragon Dynasty could not contend with.
"Lord, if the Tian Sha Guard launches a night raid on Tianxian City, we can heavily damage the White Dragon royal family. Then, with the combined efforts of many experts, the White Dragon Dynasty can be broken!" Tian Sha stated directly.
"I've been waiting for you to say that!"
Emperor Jiu Tian nodded with satisfaction. "As long as we can capture the White Dragon Dynasty, you will be the first to contribute, and I will surely grant you wealth and honor!"
"Thank you, Lord!"
Tian Sha cupped his fists, full of confidence. He did not object to this plan.
"Tian Sha, do you know that Tianxian City is teeming with experts?"
Grand Tutor Wen frowned. "If you take the Tian Sha Guard alone, it will likely be extremely dangerous. It would be better to advance with the main army to preserve our fighting strength!"
"Grand Tutor Wen, I think you are getting old!"
Tian Sha chuckled. "To achieve great things, one must not be bound by trifles. As long as we can throw the White Dragon Dynasty into chaos, the mission of the Tian Sha Guard will be considered complete!"
"But..."
Grand Tutor Wen wanted to say more, but Emperor Jiu Tian interrupted, "No 'buts'. Proceed with this plan. Tianxian City must be taken tonight!"
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Grand Tutor Wen cupped his fists. He had wanted to voice his thoughts, but since Emperor Jiu Tian was insistent, he knew further words were futile.
Not long after, the million-strong army of the Jiu Tian Dynasty moved out and arrived outside Tianxian City, but they dared not act rashly.
Now, they could only wait, waiting for news from the Tian Sha Guard. As soon as chaos erupted within Tianxian City, they could launch an all-out assault and even capture Tianxian City directly.
Inside Tianxian City, many soldiers were fast asleep. On the city walls, many experts stood guard, extremely vigilant. Although they had a seven-day agreement, if the Jiu Tian Dynasty did not abide by it, war would break out at any moment.
In a pavilion, the three family heads suddenly stood up and looked outside, as if sensing something.
At this moment, Dragon Emperor and Steward Li also arrived outside, looking towards the outside of Tianxian City.
"Lord, why do I sense danger?"
The Li family head spoke, "Could it be that the Jiu Tian Dynasty is not keeping its promise and intends to attack us?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it's likely true!"
Dragon Emperor nodded. "There must be experts who have infiltrated Tianxian City. Everyone, be careful and capture them all. Do not let them cause trouble within Tianxian City!"
"Rest assured, Lord. I will go and investigate immediately."
Steward Li spoke, his expression becoming more solemn. If foreign enemies had truly invaded, it would not be a trivial matter. A slight misstep could lead to great disaster.
After all, it was wartime, especially when armies were engaged in battle. If someone stabbed them in the back, it could disrupt the morale of the troops.
Boom...
Suddenly, a booming sound echoed, and the entire Tianxian City began to tremble. Steward Li moved with extreme speed and instantly arrived at the west of Tianxian City. Indeed, he saw several experts from the Jiu Tian Dynasty intercepting several thousand soldiers. In front of them, these soldiers were like ants.
"The Jiu Tian Dynasty has broken its word and rashly breached our defenses!"
Steward Li said coldly, "Today, you will not return!"
As soon as the words fell, a powerful spiritual energy surged from Steward Li's palm. Two members of the Tian Sha Guard looked panicked. Despite being Venerables, they were somewhat unable to cope in front of Steward Li.
Just as Steward Li was about to deal with these two, a dark figure appeared before him, instantly disrupting his spiritual energy. It seemed their strength was not inferior to his.
"Steward Li, you are well!"
Tian Sha sneered. Within Tianxian City, fires raged, instantly throwing the entire city into chaos. All of this was the work of Tian Sha.
"It's you!"
Steward Li was startled. "Tian Sha, the leader. The Jiu Tian Dynasty has revealed its trump card this time, likely intending to fight to the death!"
"You are mistaken. With the strength of the White Dragon Dynasty, it cannot compare to the Jiu Tian Dynasty."
Tian Sha said coldly, "Therefore, the White Dragon Dynasty is bound to lose this time, and you will have no chance of turning the tables."
"Aren't you afraid for Prince Shangguan's safety?" Steward Li said coldly. "If you break your promise and attack rashly, the White Dragon Dynasty has the right to kill him."
"It doesn't matter. Even the Lord doesn't care, so why should I?"
Tian Sha smiled faintly, his words exceptionally arrogant, treating Steward Li as if he were nothing.
Seeing this, Steward Li's expression turned grim. He had not expected Emperor Jiu Tian to be so open-minded as to disregard even his own son's life.
"Steward Li, do not let them escape!"
The three family heads arrived, exuding a powerful aura. Tian Sha had stirred up trouble within Tianxian City, and his intentions were malicious. Letting him escape would be extremely disadvantageous to the White Dragon Dynasty.
Steward Li nodded slightly, then suddenly attacked, striding towards Tian Sha. He unleashed all his skills, knowing very well that Tian Sha was no ordinary person.
