Destroy the Baoxue Empire?

Upon hearing this...

Everyone fell into silence.

When the Baoxue Empire invited them over for a discussion, the Secret Realm sent its invitation prematurely, intercepting it...

They had already vaguely guessed that Blue Star might not remain peaceful for long.

It should be noted that the Three Great Empires form a tripartite power, and although the Secret Realm’s territory does not compare to any one of the Three Great Empires, its strength is equal to theirs.

Moreover, the Secret Realm has not actively attacked humans for years, maintaining an extremely stable relationship... In the outer world, even Level 8 Demon Beasts are seldom seen.

This stable mode of coexistence was notable.

Additionally, the crisis outside had never faded away.

Thus, Blue Star maintained internal peace amidst the fierce flames of war.

But it now seems this peace, perhaps, is about to shatter.

Even prepared mentally, they couldn’t help but feel shocked upon hearing such straightforward words from the mouth of the King of the Secret Realm.

After all...

The King of the Secret Realm has an incredibly large appetite.

He’s not just aiming to defeat the Baoxue Empire.

He plans to completely annihilate the Baoxue Empire from its roots.

Could a mere group of Demon Beasts really wish to destroy a civilized human nation?

That’s indeed too fanciful...

But looking at the King of the Secret Realm before them, his words were earnest, seriously speaking without jest.

Recalling the martial prowess that this man possesses above them...

And that cultivation technique that’s clearly intended to tempt them.

For a moment, everyone couldn’t utter words of refusal.

"Sorry, I might not be able to agree with you."

Monarch Luo, whose stature is exceptionally large among those in the Creation Realm, stands out in the crowd.

He was the first to step out and said, "The Great Xia Empire has been peaceful for many years. I can’t allow my reasons to cause turmoil on Blue Star... I don’t understand military tactics, but even so, I know if Blue Star experiences internal chaos, it might benefit those mysterious races of the heavens."

"So we need to annihilate the Baoxue Empire as quickly as possible; otherwise, I wouldn’t need your help at all!"

Xu Lingjun said, "As for your concerns, it’s not really an issue. Come with me, and I’ll show you that whether it’s for public or private reasons, you should help me."

With that, he stepped inside.

Everyone puzzled followed him.

The words were clear enough...

Even without their assistance, annihilating the Baoxue Empire was like crushing a dirt chicken or a wooden dog.

That’s incredibly arrogant... After all, it’s the Baoxue Empire.

Although everyone present looks down on the Baoxue Empire’s international behavior and character, or perhaps its animal-like nature...

The Baoxue Empire’s strength is not to be underestimated.

Under Xu Lingjun’s lead.

Everyone delved deeper into the laboratory...

Until reaching the deepest point.

A vast indoor space so large almost like an entire football field... though indoor, nearly as expansive as a football field.

And at that time, it wasn’t empty.

Inside, six or seven people stood silently facing something upfront.

And upon seeing those inside...

The Creation Realm Grandmaster Rejedo from the Land of Light couldn’t help but exclaim, "Crown Prince Tielo?!"

Among the crowd was none other than their future Crown Prince of the Land of Light... Tielo.

Although at the Creation Realm, one is essentially freed from royal authority, even the Monarch cannot command them any longer.

This doesn’t mean they lose all sense of belonging to their nation.

Like Rejedo and Noah, who clearly hold Tielo in high regard...

"Unexpectedly, the Venerables are here as well."

Tielo humbly saluted, but worry filled his brows, quickly glancing back at the laboratory bench ahead.

"Your Highness, why are you here at the Secret Realm?"

Xu Lingjun’s voice held similar confusion as he asked, "Crown Prince Tielo? Are you from the Land of Light? Why are you here? We didn’t invite anyone from the Land of Light."

"Apologies, the invitation was my own decision."

Beside Tielo, Han Yun City walked forward a few steps.

At this moment, he wasn’t Deputy Commander of the Qisha Legion but a Prince of the Great Xia Empire!

He said, "Though you informed me that you have discovered the Baoxue Empire colluding with mysterious races, inviting me for a major discussion, such a momentous issue can’t be handled independently by the Great Xia Empire. Hence, I took the liberty of inviting Crown Prince Tielo..."

Tielo expressed apology saying, "I came uninvited, I beg your pardon."

Xu Lingjun was silent for a moment, his gaze seemed to linger extra long on Han Yun City.

He said, "It’s not impossible; originally I promised you that once the Baoxue Empire is destroyed, half of the Baoxue territory would be governed by your Great Xia Empire... Now, you might need to divide half again for the people of the Land of Light. That’s your matter; as long as you are willing, I have no objections."

"The Great Xia Empire has no intention of war, moving against the Baoxue Empire is out of necessity for the peace of Blue Star, I have no choice," Han Yun City stated righteously, "Moreover, the King of the Secret Realm’s concerns are very justified; if the Baoxue Empire lashes out in desperation and nuclear war breaks out, it might inflict irreparable harm on Blue Star... In such situations, if the Land of Light also joins the fray, the chances of success are undoubtedly greater. As for what nation lands; I can speak for my father, we’ll let the Land of Light have half of it."
