Free Web NovelChapter 1844: Chapter 603: Prey
This is the remnant of the token that he had torn apart earlier, the only part that remained intact.
Emperor Jianyuan’s lips curled slightly, an unusual gleam appearing in his eyes: "State Preceptor, you are correct. The Daning indeed needs time to recuperate, yet since ancient times, only those who can fight are able to end wars, and only those who can fight are able to broker peace! I still wish to give it a try."
Yu Kunlun’s expression was cold and solemn.
In fact, he never approved of Emperor Jianyuan allowing Chu Rulai to leave from the start.
Yu Kunlun felt that Emperor Jianyuan was playing with fire.
It was fine to plan against Chu Ming; if they could really eliminate this Near-God Corpse Puppet, the pressure on the Daning Dynasty would significantly lessen.
However, taking action against Chu Yunyun would yield no good outcome, regardless of success or failure.
"The State Preceptor is unwilling to help me, yet these avatars of the gods who descended to the world are very willing."
Emperor Jianyuan held up the remnant of the token in his hand, a growing smile on his face: "They do not wish to see me undo Diwa’s sealing, yet they are even more unwilling to see that boy Chu Xisheng grow in power, and they want to retaliate against him."
This was precisely why Jumen Star Lord and others ultimately chose not to make a move against Chu Ming, reluctant to startle the snake by hitting the grass.
Yu Kunlun knew that Emperor Jianyuan’s mind was set, and it could not be changed.
He couldn’t help but sigh again, "Your Majesty! Qin Muge is unfathomable; even I do not know to what extent her combat power has reached. Although Your Majesty has strong support, you may not necessarily be able to capture her. No matter what, please leave room for negotiations!"
Emperor Jianyuan’s expression flickered, then his eyes showed intense anticipation.
Qin Muge in her prime was undoubtedly very strong.
However, he didn’t believe that the current Qin Muge had recovered to her full strength!
If he could once kill her with the power of the gods, he could kill her a second time!

Chu Yunyun had already reached outside Wang’an City, standing suspended in the sky at a height of nineteen thousand zhang.
She was gazing at the blue light screen.
Bai Xiaozhao: Hmm~ I feel this woman is unfathomable, somewhat unreliable. It seems a bit inappropriate to appoint her as a First-Grade Imperial Dragon Guard right away.
Chu Yunyun’s sapphire eyes flickered with light.
——Bai Lingxi, a Near-God expert from seven thousand years ago?
Chu Yunyun then slightly shook her head and turned her gaze towards Wang’an City below.
"I smell the stench of the Eternal Gods, and there’s more than one source."
One of them was even somewhat familiar to her.
Chu Yunyun had crossed paths with it before, and she clearly remembered the strength of this god, unable to forget.
Her Divine Intent Blade Heart, this time clearly reflected the hostile killing intent of these gods.
Although Chu Yunyun did not possess the Divine Might of Chu Xisheng on the path of Vengeance,
her sensing range was much larger and clearer when it came to the ’Divine Intent Blade Heart’.
The Sword Mirror she crafted and polished was smoother and brighter.
Absolute mirror reflection allowed her to perceive everything inside and outside Wang’an City.
These gods thought they hid well, but they couldn’t escape her senses.
Chu Yunyun reached her hand into her sleeve, grasping the Rebellious God Banner Spear which had shrunk to the size of a toothpick.
The spear was trembling slightly.
Chu Yunyun couldn’t help but chuckle softly, "It seems you are looking forward to it as well. Just right, we can take this opportunity to let him vent his anger."
She remembered that in Central Earth, when Chu Xisheng advanced to the Second Grade, he was besieged for a long time by the divine bodies of these gods descending to the world.
Chu Xisheng ultimately could only force them to retreat but couldn’t defeat them.
Then she suddenly swooped down towards the Imperial Palace of Wang’an City.
Since killing Qin Fengxian, she hadn’t participated in any proper battles.
Even when Ween Suyi ascended, she hadn’t directly made a move.
As a result, some people actually considered her as a prey that could be hunted.
With just a flash, Chu Yunyun appeared outside the Imperial City, in front of the Chengtian Gate.
She first looked inward from afar, seeing through layers of palace gates and halls, eventually seeing Emperor Jianyuan seated inside the Harmony Hall.
This man originally held a wine cup in his hand, relishing the fine wine with a smile.
Emperor Jianyuan seemed to sense Chu Yunyun’s gaze and looked out as well.
His expression was composed, carrying a hint of disdain and expectation.
Chu Yunyun’s expression remained normal; a grand surge of Sword Energy suddenly erupted around her, reducing the Chengtian Gate before her eyes to fine powder!
