Protect Our Clan Leader

"Moreover, I've received news that Emperor Yuanming of Moyan Country and the Iron Cavalry of Xuan Mountain have suffered a major defeat. They are currently being pursued and scattered by Emperor Qingyu of Liang Country, while the Sacred Land of Moyan is similarly being held back by the Sacred Land of Liang Country."

As Wang Fugui conducted a methodical and thorough analysis, the eyes of everyone present began to light up.

They simultaneously realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

If Moyan Country's Shangjing City could be breached, it would not only bring immense merit points and glory, but the spoils of war would be beyond measure. After all, everyone knew that the national capital of Moyan Country must be a place where all the best treasures are gathered.

If they could raid the royal treasury and the national treasury of Moyan Country, they would indeed strike it rich!

"Let's go for it!" Wu Zhode and others had eyes that glowed red, and their gazes at Wang Fugui burned with fervor. "As they say, 'wealth comes with risk.' As long as the young master gives the order, we are ready to risk our lives."

A feverish atmosphere surged within Wang Fugui's chief commander's tent, and everyone's gaze was fixed on Wang Fugui, awaiting his command.

"Excellent. Then abandon all the supplies that might slow down the march, and clear out the storage rings, finding a place to hide them temporarily." Wang Fugui said as he stood up, speaking in a deep voice, "This is an opportunity not to be missed. We must seize it while the Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor are still unawares, breach Moyan's Shangjing, seize all the valuable things, and make a swift getaway, catching everyone off guard!"

Facing enemies from different factions, Wang Fugui would not be fussy, especially since they were targeting the prominent families, government office, and the imperial household of the Demonic Country, without disturbing the commoners, so he felt no psychological pressure.

"Breach Shangjing City, rob the imperial household of the Demonic Country! Everyone ready, set out!"

...

Meanwhile, as the Spirit Canal Continent was ablaze with conflict.

Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty, Immortal Court.

Rinse Moon Hall.

As the study most often used by the contemporary Immortal Emperor Muyun, the decorations of Rinse Moon Hall are usually the most fashionable. Not only have the mirrors for dressing been replaced with the latest Wang family's glazed mirrors, but the lighting fixtures have long been switched to magnificent chandeliers, grand yet uniquely styled.

At this moment, the sun was just right, and the Immortal Emperor Muyun's projection sat on a soft couch by the window, dressed still in the same loose white robe, but unlike usual, she was not lazily reclining but rather, sitting upright, appearing all the more noble and majestic.

Her radiant and striking face no longer bore the usual casualness and slight smile but was stern, with eyes flickering with an austere brilliance.

Before her, the white-haired King of the North stood bent and bowed, lowering his head in deep guilt.

He now had none of the demeanor of a dignified royal duke that he usually carried but instead seemed like a big child caught in wrongdoing by a parent, trembling, not daring to utter a single superfluous word.

As a "wise king" of the imperial household for his generation, since inheriting the duke title of his lineage, he had always been responsible for commanding the North Region Army. Over the years, he neither achieved great deeds nor made grave mistakes.

In short, he could only be considered an average duke. Because of this, he rarely had the experience of being reprimanded by the Immortal Emperor Muyun. Facing the stern gaze of the Immortal Emperor's projection, he felt extremely pressured, wiping cold sweat repeatedly within a short time.

"Yun Hongxun, you are truly bold!" The Immortal Emperor's tone was cold and indifferent, yet her whole presence exuded terrifying pressure, "You dared to use the pretext of supporting Chuan Nan's construction to assemble an elite battle group to meddle in the battlefields of Liang and Yan Countries. Are you planning to initiate an immortal-demon war for me?"

"Old Ancestor, I am wronged!" The King of the North was so frightened that his back was drenched in sweat, and his legs went soft, "This is all indeed..."

Under the terrifying pressure of the Immortal Emperor, he almost confessed the truth, betraying Wang Fugui and Yun Mengyu.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, he remembered his great mission as the "scapegoat", quickly switching his rhetoric to play the pitiable one: "It, it was the Demonic Dynasty that started the trouble first. If anyone is to blame, it should be the Demonic Dynasty! It was beyond child's control~~"

"Consider this, the princess of Moyan instigated the Chao Clan to send troops against Liang Country; if my North Region King's Mansion showed no stance, how would my son's heir Li Xuan and consort Yiyi carry on with their lives?"

"This not only sullied the reputation of my North Region King's Mansion but also harmed the reputation of our Yun family. Others would think our Han Yue Yun Clan was afraid of their Red Moon Family of Chao~"

Immortal Emperor Muyun looked up and down at the King of the North, a meaningful cold smile tugging at her lips: "Yun Hongxun, your way with words has improved. How much of your ability am I unaware of? Tell me honestly, who is giving you advice behind this?"

The King of the North bit his tongue, hurriedly responding with determination: "It was, it was only child's inability to endure the consort's complaints, it was a decision made by child alone!"

"Very well, I admire your courage to take sole responsibility for your actions. Worthy of being a child of our Yun family." The Immortal Emperor looked at him with a half-smile, "Regardless of how this matter develops afterward, I will assign you to the frontline of the outer domain battlefield, for you to exhibit the elegance of our Yun family properly."

"Ah!?" The King of the North was instantly dumbfounded, "Old Ancestor, I am already at the age approaching retirement, how could you bear?"

"Of course, I can bear." The Immortal Emperor lightly chuckled, her expression calm, "You are a Yun family duke, even committing a secondary offense requires sending you to the front lines, whereas that young Chao Clan fellow is the principal offender... hehe, that youngster has considerable potential. If you, a duke without much achievement, can eliminate him, our Immortal Dynasty would be greatly benefited."

"Pfft!"

The King of the North almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Old Ancestor, how could you speak so bluntly? At least be somewhat more tactful...

At the same time, he silently prayed within his heart.

Rich lad, oh rich lad, in the end, it's this king who has shouldered everything alone, if you don't find a way to get this king out, this king won't let it slide!
