Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 304 - 302: The Two Emperors’ Secret Plot, Gu Sha’s Change in Temperament

Chapter 304: Chapter 302: The Two Emperors’ Secret Plot, Gu Sha’s Change in Temperament

When the news of the Southern Barbarians’ surrender spread the next day, both the Southern and Western Continents were stunned.

They never expected that the Southern Barbarians, who were thought to be the most stubborn, would bow down like this.

In particular, both the Demon Emperor and Death Emperor even questioned whether the statement was fake.

Just a few days ago, the Southern Barbarian Clan Leader was still sending them messages asking for support for the Southern Barbarian Empire.

They thought the Southern Barbarian Clan Leader would resist to the very end.

Even the Death Emperor and Demon Emperor were calculating how many Great Xia Soldiers the Southern Barbarians could hold back.

They were almost praying for the Southern Barbarians and Great Xia to destroy each other.

But only a few days have passed?

Great Xia hasn’t even had the time to target the Southern Barbarians, and the Southern Barbarian Clan Leader got scared by himself.

As the two men contemplated with furrowed brows, they suddenly thought of something.

Death Emperor said with an unpleasant expression: "It’s Xia Feng, the Great Xia Emperor’s Son, he has that magical space-traveling treasure."

The Demon Emperor gritted his teeth: "Despite all precautions, we still got cornered by the Great Xia Emperor’s Son, he’s simply everywhere."

Death Emperor sighed: "Even if we had known beforehand that the Great Xia Emperor’s Son was targeting the Southern Barbarians, we couldn’t have sent troops to aid him."

"The result would be the same, but now it’s just the two of us remaining, struggling to support each other."

The Demon Emperor, with a bitter face, said: "Even if it’s uncomfortable, we must strip a layer off them."

"Have you forgotten why we first founded our empires and declared ourselves emperors?"

Death Emperor waved his hand, as if he suddenly remembered something: "A few days ago, that gentleman in my city suddenly woke up once."

"It seems he sensed some kind of spying, which made him quite upset."

"Now that I think about it, the Great Xia Emperor’s Son probably came here before heading to the Southern Barbarians."

The Demon Emperor clenched his fist and spoke with a sour expression: "Damn Great Xia Emperor’s Son!"

Death Emperor’s mood eased a bit: "Alright, let’s seize this opportunity to attack once more. If we can get some rewards from this, maybe we can break through the final realm."

"A kid who’s barely grown a full head of hair can achieve demigod status, I really wonder sometimes if he’s the Heavenly Dao’s favorite."

The Demon Emperor rolled his eyes: "Given how loud it was when he went through the Thunder Tribulation, if he really were the Heavenly Dao’s favorite, there wouldn’t have been so many troubles."

"Maybe he has his own opportunities."

Death Emperor smacked his lips: "What a pity, if he really is the Heavenly Dao’s favorite, capturing him would certainly exchange for substantial benefits."

The two of them exchanged a glance, eyes filled with the same ambition.

At that moment, Xia Feng had already returned to the Vermilion Bird Royal Palace, and as the news of the Southern Barbarian Empire’s surrender spread, the entire Southern Continent was in turmoil.

The soldiers from the three countries engaged in battle at the Li Huo Border were unsure whether they should continue attacking, and it was Gu Sha who stepped forward to calm things down.

The Southern Barbarian soldiers were still skeptical, believing their clan leader would never make such a decision.

But when the military orders reached them, they even if puzzled, had no intention to resist.

Originally, they were already struggling to resist both the Li Huo and Vermilion Bird nations, now it seems like some sort of relief.

After settling the situation there, Gu Sha and Chen Hongyu immediately hurried to Xia Feng’s side.

Upon entering, they immediately knelt before Xia Feng without a word, faces filled with the joy of victory: "Emperor’s Son, mission accomplished."

Xia Feng smiled slightly, but did not intend to let them relax so easily.

"There are still the Death Empire and Demon Empire."

Gu Sha chuckled: "If they know what’s good for them, they would surrender early like the Southern Barbarians, maybe they will find some leniency."

"Otherwise, what happened to the Vermilion Bird Empire today will be their tomorrow."

Xia Feng nodded at first, then his expression turned stern: "Originally, I thought that you would gain some growth in this war, but I guess I was overthinking."

Gu Sha looked surprised, and Xia Feng, pressing his temples, said: "After just a few victories, you’ve already become cocky."

"Who gave you the confidence that all empires could be conquered?"

"Safe voyage, every war should be fought with full commitment."

Having just won a battle, Gu Sha, who had defended well in such a precarious Li Huo situation, didn’t receive any praise when next to the Emperor’s Son, instead getting a lecture.

Seeing Gu Sha’s face turn sour, Chen Hongyu tried to change the subject.

"Emperor’s Son, we’ve traveled long and far to get here, why not rest for a day and discuss important matters tomorrow?"

Xia Feng paused for a moment, seemingly also reminding himself that Gu Sha had just finished a battle, frowned slightly and couldn’t help but add.

"Don’t underestimate those two nations, even I need to be more cautious."

After saying this, he waved them to go out and rest.

Once Gu Sha left the tent, his face was still filled with a sense of frustrated sadness.

"Do you think the Emperor’s Son has something against me? These last few times..."

Gu Sha’s words were interrupted by Chen Hongyu, who covered his mouth with one hand, dragging him quickly towards the resting place with the other.

All the while checking if anyone was watching them.

Inside the room, Gu Sha impatiently waved his hand away: "I was just speaking the truth, were you so scared?"

Chen Hongyu looked serious: "Gu Sha, your thoughts have been quite dangerous lately."

Gu Sha suddenly got annoyed: "Do you also think it’s my problem?"

"I’ve led troops in so many battles, just one failure and it’s constantly brought up as a lesson?"

"In such a crisis at Li Huo Empire, I defended it well against two armies, yet upon meeting I’m not praised, only lectured."

"I’ve had enough!"

Chen Hongyu’s face turned grim instantly: "Is that really what you think?"

Questioned like this, Gu Sha paused, finally speaking after a long while: "I just feel wronged."

Chen Hongyu patted his shoulder: "In that case, I’ll suggest to the Emperor’s Son tomorrow that you go back to Great Xia."

Gu Sha became anxious: "Why, I’m a meritorious soldier, almost about to capture all the cities, what does going back mean now?"

"Chen Hongyu, are you jealous of my military achievements being more than yours, trying to find an opportunity to push me out?"

"Slap!"

Chen Hongyu’s hand shook slightly after hitting Gu Sha, his face full of shock and disbelief.

Across from him, Gu Sha covered his face, the look in his eyes dodging after recalling his words, yet still filled with anger.

"You hit me? Why do you hit me?"

"In the Battle of Li Huo, I was the commander, you were the deputy, and our positions are not yet discharged."

"Chen Hongyu! This is insubordination!"
