Chapter 889: Chapter 704: Mental Path’s Retaliation, Fourth Realm National War_3

"Such a considerable windstorm, Your Highness, to which one are you referring?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

"Which one? Naturally, it’s the one where Marquis Su played the ’Burial Flower Song’ atop the brothel in Guye City, along with the complete poem, outshining the Wan Clan and leaving a mark in history! What else could it be?"

Fufeng’s eyes were also sparkling with brilliance.

Females of the Qingqiu Fox Clan are extremely fond of literature, which seems to be a common trait of the Fox Clan.

Fox Clan women allure worldly scholars, which is part of their tradition.

This shows their deep admiration for the Human Clan’s elegance.

A few days ago, from the Desolate Capital in the Great Wilderness Royal City, emerged an exquisite long poem ’Burial Flower Song’, along with an unparalleled melody, also ’Burial Flower Song’, which became all the rage as soon as it spread. Simultaneously, a legend penetrated into the Desolate Capital; some say that this song and poem were created by the Great Wilderness Snow Robe Marquis, performed at the brothel in Guye City within the Demon Domain, gaining renown throughout the Demon Domain, outshining the Wan Clan.

Fufeng’s heart was in upheaval.

Could it really be done by my own charming brother-in-law?

The mystery shall be revealed now.

Lin Xiaosu laughed: "It’s been almost a month since... I thought you were referring to the Demon Emperor Palace annihilation war."

"Demon Emperor Palace annihilation war?" The Seventh Prince was suddenly shocked: "What do you mean?"

Lin Xiaosu slightly furrowed his brow: "Your Highness is unaware?"

"The Demon Domain is 400,000 miles away from here, information isn’t that easy to transmit, is it?"

"Indeed!" Lin Xiaosu said: "The Demon Emperor Palace annihilation war was orchestrated by me; I allied with the Demon Domain Nine Divisions Flower Demons to overthrow the Demon Emperor Palace. Since the news will eventually spread, I might as well be honest about it."

The Seventh Prince suddenly flinched, the teacup in his hand shaking violently: "You... you overthrew the Demon Emperor Palace?"

"Yes, it happened on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month."

The entire place fell silent like the night.

Qing Ying’s mouth slightly opened.

Fufeng’s mouth slightly opened.

The Seventh Prince’s opened mouth slowly closed, very slowly...

Finally, he lightly exhaled: "An array?"

"There are elements of an array!" Lin Xiaosu said.

"Demon Sect... the Demon Sect hasn’t retaliated against you?"

At the mention of the Demon Sect, there seemed to be an invisible suppression.

Making everyone unable to exhale.

Such is the power of reputation from nineteen super giants.

Just hearing about it can make one feel suffocated.

Lin Xiaosu smiled: "I’ve met the Sect Leader of the Demon Sect personally; he expressed his gratitude to me and even invited me to visit his Demon Sect. Do you know why?"

The Seventh Prince silently swallowed: "Why?"

"Because I told him that everyone in the Demon Emperor Palace, including the Demon Emperor himself, are Heart Dao dogs, and the Heart Dao has infiltrated the Demon Sect full well!"

Like a muffled thunder exploding in the Gauze Pavilion, the Seventh Prince slowly raised his head: "The Heart Dao’s infiltration into the Demon Sect is true, and not your... strategy?"

"Of course it’s true!" Lin Xiaosu said: "I informed Your Highness of this today, hoping to draw your attention. There may be a windstorm on the way!"

"What kind of windstorm?"

Lin Xiaosu said: "Exposing the Heart Dao conspiracy will be a serious blow to both Heart Dao and Heart Path. Due to the Heart Dao’s modus operandi, they are bound to have retaliation. Retaliation against me personally is secondary; we need to guard against retaliation targeting the Dahuang Country."

The Seventh Prince exhaled deeply: "The windstorm you speak of may not be on the way but is already in action!"

Lin Xiaosu was slightly alarmed: "What has occurred?"

The Seventh Prince said: "On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, the Fourth Realm launched war simultaneously! The intensity at the onset is unprecedented!"

Lin Xiaosu’s heart jumped: "The twenty-sixth day of the lunar month? Simultaneously?"

"Exactly! According to what you said, on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month you overthrew the Demon Emperor Palace, and on the twenty-sixth day, the four realms simultaneously launched national conflict! Originally, it was also perplexing to me, but now hearing your words, maybe I can conclude that these four countries have been infiltrated by the Heart Dao, they are retaliating!"

"Four realms, four countries... North is Yan Country, east is Chu Country, west is Ye Country, south borders the sea, is there any country launching a sea invasion?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

"Central Domain Kaiyuan Country!" The Seventh Prince replied: "Today I come to pay respects and also seek advice from the War God on how to face enemies from the four realms."

Lin Xiaosu stood up, bowing deeply: "Your Highness, due to me, Dahuang Country is suffering the consequences."

The Seventh Prince also stood up: "Marquis Su must not say so; if we speak of roots, Marquis Su’s enmity with the Heart Dao was also for my Hong Royal Family. If we talk about repercussions, it was my Hong Royal Family that implicated you first. Besides, the animosity between Dahuang and the Heart Dao is inevitable; the four realms’ crisis will sooner or later need to be confronted."

Lin Xiaosu said: "Thank Your Highness for your generosity. May I ask, Your Highness, how is the court currently responding?"

"With the four realms in motion, the court’s military resources are limited, quite in the predicament of being stretched thin. Father has ordered Li Yafu, the Master of Zhen Heaven Pavilion Military Hall, to command separately and reinforce urgently. Twenty-seven teams left the capital three days ago, heading to the battlefield."

"Where has the Seventh Team been dispatched to?"

"Marquis Su indeed has feelings for the Seventh Team, asking about it first!" The Seventh Prince said: "Father promoted Kuang Lang to Ten Thousand Soldiers General, leading seven teams totaling twenty thousand men, headed to Lanzhou Zheyuntai to assist General Xuelong in defending against Bei Yan."

"Bei Yan is the most dangerous among the four realms. Isn’t it?"

"Precisely! Bei Yan has deployed the illustrious ’Blood Fire Army’; the icy river battle on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month almost breached our forces’ line, extremely perilous." The Seventh Prince said: "The Left Grand Master Zhou He proposed that Father summon you back to the capital to counter the threat from Bei Yan; all the ministers in the court unanimously supported, but I and Master Song opposed it, and Father adopted a compromise plan, promoting Kuang Lang, sending seven Heavenly Suppressing Teams to fight Bei Yan, without summoning you back to the capital."
