Chapter 2004: Chapter 2008: The Fourth Prince’s Proposal

"You don’t need to say anymore. Tomorrow morning, I will have a private conversation with Murong Tiancheng! This matter is settled!"

The Ice Emperor decided resolutely, "Anything else? Recently, things have been unfavorable, and you all need to be more attentive!"

The State Preceptor thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the battle situation in the West Capital is intense, and the Dragon Clan’s army departed a month ago, yet they still haven’t reached the battlefield. This matter is peculiar. I suspect..."

"You mean, you suspect they’re pretending to help us eliminate Qin Tian, but in reality, they want to attack our East State? Haha, many ministers have already submitted memorials on this matter. I’m aware of it."

The Ice Emperor said coldly, "Your East State should be well prepared. I will also order the South State to be on alert. That Dragon Xuanji of the Dragon Clan is now at the western border of our East State. She should be the one who is nervous. Now, with just a word from me, she can neither advance nor retreat. Humph, and she still thinks she can bite back at us? Wishful thinking! Does he think the Tianyuan Dynasty is easy to bully?"

The Ice Emperor concluded the meeting and dismissed everyone.

The Fourth Prince and the War God whispered as they walked out of the palace.

The State Preceptor Sima Tianchen seemed lost in thought and walked off in another direction alone.

He returned to his residence and entered a secret room deep within. Through the secret room, he entered a tunnel, which eventually led to a vast underground palace deep within the earth.

In the center of this underground palace was an altar, upon which fierce flames burned...

Sima Tianchen walked to the altar and gently bowed in salute.

A voice came directly from within the palace: "You actually came. What is the matter?"

The voice carried an overwhelming power that made Sima Tianchen feel respect and awe.

"One does not come to the temple without a reason. Tell me, what has happened?" the voice continued.

Sima Tianchen said, "I predict that the Tianyuan Dynasty is about to change."

"Haha... is it finally about to change? Is he in a hurry?"

"He’s desperate and grasping at straws, planning to use Murong Tiannan against Qin Tian, and is even ready to ignore the army of the Dragon Clan. This seems like a disaster. The strength of the Dragon Clan is completely incomparable to what it was years ago."

Sima Tianchen said worriedly, "It seems that chaos has already formed, with a high possibility of various forces dividing the land. The Tianyuan Dynasty may face a situation of fragmentation..."

"The Fourth Prince, the Ice Emperor, the Dragon Clan, the Demon Clan, even Qin Tian and the Demon Clan, could all become major forces. Of course, I’m most worried about the Dragon Clan. In this internal conflict of the Tianyuan Dynasty, the already powerful Dragon Clan can definitely reap the benefits. When the time comes, the Dragon Clan might just occupy the majority of the Tianyuan Dynasty’s territory!"

"Haha... serves them right!"

From the sky came a sinister laugh, saying, "The way of heaven goes around; you bring this upon yourself and cannot live... Humph, unfortunately, I cannot go out to see it, or else... sigh..."

Sima Tianchen looked at the dim palace and said, "Have you succeeded in your cultivation this time?"

"No! No! Damn it! I’ve failed again!"

Suddenly, a roar rang from the sky, "Failure after failure, how is this possible... How can I experience so many failures... how is it possible..."

The voice continued to echo within the palace.

Sima Tianchen bowed again to the altar, then said nothing more, turned, and with a heavy heart, walked out of the underground palace.

...

"Boss, boss..."

When Qin Tian returned to the West Capital for just two days, Xiao Zhuang had already received news from the Imperial City: "The Imperial City has appointed Murong Tiancheng as the Vanguard General, replacing Zhong Chao, to attack Yueya City!"

In the living room, Qin Tian, who was analyzing the battle situation with a map, was momentarily stunned when he heard Xiao Zhuang’s words.

He stood up straight, and without saying a word, he showed a strange smile.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhuang was anxious and said, "Boss, what are you smiling for? General Xu Kuan has sent people to seek instructions from us, what should we do? Murong Tiancheng is still on his way to Tiger City from the Imperial City, he will probably arrive in five days. General Xu Kuan seeks advice, when we confront Murong Tiancheng on the battlefield, should we kill him or not?"

"Humph, it’s such a great strategy by the Imperial City; after a prolonged attack, they actually let Murong Tiancheng come out... I guess this is the Fourth Prince’s stratagem, maybe?"

Qin Tian knew the Fourth Prince’s style very well. This person is not only shrewd and scheming but also does whatever it takes to achieve his goals!

"But now, this really puts us in a dilemma. Our True Qi Cannons and True Qi Crossbows shoot out like a rain of arrows. If we accidentally kill Murong Tiancheng, what do we do? Sister Fei is on Earth now; if she comes back... I’m afraid... he’s her own uncle and the head of the Murong Family..."

Xiao Zhuang was very worried.

Qin Tian took a deep breath and said, "The Fourth Prince has seized on our hesitation, which is why he sent Murong Tiancheng. Heh, does he think I, Qin Tian, am the kind of person who is indecisive?"

"Boss, what do you mean?"

"The battle should be fought as it should be, without scruples, treating him as if he were an ordinary enemy general. We must hold Yueya City, no compromise."

After speaking, Qin Tian changed his tone and said, "Of course, we must adhere to one principle: when given a choice, avoid harming him. In the absence of choice, then we have no familial bonds to consider."

Xiao Zhuang looked at Qin Tian and said, "Then, boss, if Sister Fei comes back, won’t she..."

"Old three, you don’t have to worry; Murong is a person who can see the bigger picture. Since graduating from university, she has been a CEO of a large corporation, able to distinguish priorities."

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Zhuang nodded, "Alright, I’ll inform General Xu Kuan according to your instructions."

After Xiao Zhuang left, Qin Tian took out a letter from Gongsun San Niang and read it, breathing deeply and muttering to himself, "Long Yin is about to start large-scale operations, and the Dragon Clan is also going to take action. Let this life-and-death battle come with more ferocity!"

Shortly after, Zhou Yang and Xiao Zhuang entered the living room together.

Zhou Yang said, "Boss, the Barbarian Clan has increased its troops, and it seems there has also been turmoil within the Demon Clan country. I suspect external forces are inciting rebellion, but the Demon Clan Empress has already sent troops to suppress it. However, due to lack of military strength, they’ve withdrawn the soldiers they were supposed to send to reinforce us. Currently, after the Barbarian Clan increased its troops, the southern Demon Clan army might not be able to withstand the attack of nearly 200,000 troops from the Barbarian Clan."

"Oh, the Barbarian Clan has increased their troops? Do they want to confront us head-on, or are they trying to take advantage of the situation?"

Qin Tian heard this, pursed his lips, and asked, "After withdrawing soldiers from the south of the Demon Clan, how many are left?"

"About forty thousand."

"Forty thousand, that’s enough."

Qin Tian’s eyes were sharp, "I’ll bring another twenty thousand elite soldiers over; this time, I want to personally subjugate the Southern Barbarians! Crush them!"
