Chapter 227.2 - I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory

Inside the imperial palace, she met with Lin Beifan.

“Your Majesty, why have you initiated this war?”

Lin Beifan spoke angrily: “You should first ask what the Great Luo Emperor has done to me!”

“Your Majesty, what exactly did the Great Luo Emperor do to make you so angry?”

Lin Beifan slammed the table and stood up: “Don’t think I don’t know. It was he who spread the rumor that the tomb of the Heavenly Khan was in our Great Xia, attracting many martial artists to Xia! We would have been in chaos long ago if not for the heavens’ blessing on Great Xia!”

Song Yufei was stunned: “Your Majesty, you knew all this?”

“If you don’t want others to know, you shouldn’t do it yin the first place!”

Lin Beifan sneered: “Since he has made the first move, I will respond even more strongly! I’ll let him know that I am not to be trifled with!”

Song Yufei tried to persuade him: “Your Majesty…”

Lin Beifan waved his hand: “There’s no need to persuade me. This battle is inevitable! Show the guest out!”

Song Yufei sighed deeply.

Following that, Lin Beifan issued a proclamation condemning Luo, publicly announcing the purpose of this military action.

Because Great Luo maliciously spread rumors, many martial artists gathered in Great Xia caused trouble, engaging in arson, killing, and looting, bringing suffering to the common people of Great Xia and making their lives miserable!

In short, they depicted the situation as tragically as possible.

They painted themselves as innocent victims deserving of sympathy, claiming their actions were for revenge and justice.

They depicted the Great Luo Emperor as a malevolent dragon in human guise, with a beastly heart beneath a human face, calling for everyone to rise up and attack him.

“Complete nonsense! They’re turning right and wrong upside down!”

The Great Luo Emperor trembled with rage: “When have martial artists ever harmed you, Great Xia? You’ve all made a fortune from these martial artists. The whole world knows it! You Great Xia is really shameless!”

“And to accuse me of being a malevolent dragon in human guise? So unreasonable! So outrageous!”

“Dog Emperor, don’t let me catch you, or you’ll pay dearly!”

At this moment, a general clad in marshal’s armor walked in, his voice resounding in the room: “Reporting to Your Majesty, the army and all the masters are ready and can depart at any time!”

The Great Luo Emperor gritted his teeth: “Since everything is ready, then let’s move out and hit them hard!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

The Great Luo troops were mobilized.

To deal with the formidable Great Xia forces, they prepared a million-strong army and nearly 30 Innate masters.

They intended to leave none of the Great Xia troops behind.

The armies of the two nations soon clashed.

Troop against a troop, general against the general.

Among the generals, Lin Beifan dispatched Chai Yuxin, the Wine Sword Immortal, the Heng Ha Generals, and the others.

They all practiced the divine skill given to them by Lin Beifan, which made them significantly stronger than their opponents.

Thus, they managed to put their enemies in perilous situations, causing them to be overwhelmed and in a very sorry state.

Upon witnessing this scene, Great Luo Marshal approached the ten Taoist Masters and respectfully said, “Honorable Taoist Masters, please lend us your aid!”

These ten Taoist Masters were Innate masters sent by the Taoist Sect to assist.

They looked at the battlefield ahead, discussing it calmly.

“Who would have thought… in less than three years, Great Xia’s strength has become so formidable!”

“However, no matter how strong they are, they can’t surpass us!”

“Marshal, rest assured, with us here, victory in this battle is certain!”

As they spoke, the ten Taoist Masters emerged from the ranks of the army and charged toward the Innate masters of Great Xia.

The ten Taoist Masters were powerful, each possessing the strength of Innate Imperial Qi, so the tide of the battle quickly turned.

At that moment, Wu Sangui stepped forward.

He drew a small black sword and shouted, “Your Majesty, aid me in vanquishing the enemy!”

In an instant, he felt a terrifying power converging upon him.

Overjoyed, he pointed the small black sword at one of Great Luo’s Taoist Masters.

The sword’s light was sharp, tracing a long rainbow through the air!

Caught off guard, the Taoist Master was struck, spewing blood from a severe injury and becoming listless.

Unable to contain his eagerness, Wu Sangui slashed with his sword again!

Then, another Taoist Master was grievously wounded and fell.

Wu Sangui continued to strike with his sword, and one by one, the Taoist Masters of the Taoist Sect fell.

The situation had once again turned around in an instant.

The Innate masters of Great Luo were horrified: “The enemy has a divine weapon. This battle is over, we must flee quickly!”

They all scampered off, running as fast as thieves!

For the little money they were paid, it truly wasn’t worth risking their lives!

Since the Innate masters of Great Luo had fled, the troops of Great Luo lost their will to fight and began to rout.

Thus, Great Xia won a splendid victory.

……

The news of the battle spread quickly, and everyone was astonished.

“Great Xia won another battle again?”

“They defeated Great Luo, even with the support of the Taoist Sect?”

“I heard that the Taoist Sect sent out ten Innate Imperial Qi experts to support Great Luo, and they still lost!”

“That’s because Great Xia had a divine weapon. No matter who came, one sword strike could take down an Innate! That’s how the ten powerful Taoist Sect masters were severely injured and forced to flee in defeat!”

“So Great Xia was prepared all along, no wonder they dared to start a war!”

“Great Xia is awesome!”

“Great Luo is in a sorry state. Even with the support of the Taoist Sect, they were trampled underfoot! Great Luo is really too useless!”

“Seriously useless, I could laugh for a year at this!”

…..

Inside the imperial palace of Great Luo.

Having just received the news of the defeat, the Great Luo Emperor was so furious that he was practically spewing fire.

“I have prepared a million-strong army for thwm and even invited esteemed experts from the Taoist Sect, yet they still managed to lose! Worthless! You are all truly worthless!”

It’s not that he can’t accept defeat.

Rather, he couldn’t bear the humiliation of losing despite the support of the Taoist Sect, completely losing all his face!

He can already imagine how the outside world is mocking him, where calling him useless would be putting it mildly.

Only by throwing and smashing things can he vent the anger in his heart.

Just then, Song Yufei floated in.

The Great Luo Emperor immediately went up to her, anxiously saying, “Fairy, you must already know the outcome of this battle! We cannot afford to lose! Only you can help me!”

“Your Majesty, rest assured, we will certainly not lose this war!” Song Yufei said.

At this time, the Great Xia troops were still conquering cities and lands.

Since Great Luo had already lost their fighting spirit, there was little resistance along the way, and a third of Great Luo’s territory had already fallen.

Throughout the journey, the generals of Great Xia were very smug.

The Heng Ha Generals laughed, “It seems that even with the support of the Taoist Sect, Great Luo is not invincible! Look at our progress; they run at the sight of us and utterly powerless to fight back! Hahaha…”

“Well, Great Luo is just an ordinary dynasty with little capability! If it weren’t for their alliance with the Taoist Sect, we would have wiped them out long ago!” Empty Hand Master laughed.

“That’s right, there’s really nothing so impressive about Great Luo!” the other generals chimed in.

“Still, we must not be careless. Great Luo isn’t to be feared, but the Taoist Sect behind them is strong! After this battle, they will likely send out their true experts, so we must be cautious!” Chai Yuxin soberly advised.

They marched another 30 li and once again encountered the Great Luo army.

Apart from some of the same people, there stood a strikingly beautiful woman in white at the forefront.

That person was none other than the Taoist Child of the Taoist Sect—Song Yufei.

With a complex look in her eyes, she addressed the people of Great Xia, “Everyone, let’s stop here.”
