Chapter 334.1
The Great Li Emperors face turned pale.
Clearly, those who dared to be so brazen in the imperial palace were likely the three Grandmasters mentioned by the Senior.
The Great Li Emperor looked over, and Grandmaster Lin Tianyous face was bitter: Your Majesty, its them, they have arrived!
Ah What do we do now, Father? the eldest prince Li Tianxing said, completely at a loss.
Do not panic, I will go out and meet them to buy time! Senior, take the opportunity to escape with Xinger, the farther the better! the Great Li Emperor said in a deep voice.
Ah How can this be? Lin Tianyou exclaimed in shock.
Your Majesty, I will share your fate and will not leave your side! Li Tianxing shouted.
Stop hesitating, their target is me! Only if I stay, will you have a chance to escape! Besides, falling into their hands does not necessarily mean death for me! As long as the reinforcements from Great Xia arrive, our Great Li will be saved!
The Great Li Emperors analysis convinced the two.
Take care, Your Majesty!
Stay safe, Father!
The two said their farewells and hid themselves.
Once everything was prepared, the Great Li Emperor walked out of the palace with broad strides.
Looking around, he noticed three unfathomable elders standing in three different directions of the imperial palace, effectively surrounding the place.
Beneath them, the ground was already a sea of blood, piled high with corpses.
Are you the reigning Emperor Li Hongtian of Great Li? asked one of the Grandmasters, looking down from above at the Great Li Emperor.
He nodded and smiled: It must be! Only the true Emperor would possess such a strong imperial aura!
Youve got some nerve, knowing we were coming and still daring to show up, commendable courage indeed, I admire you! another Grandmaster said with a clasped-hand salute and a smile, but his words lacked any real respect.
The third remained silent, smiling at the Great Li Emperor as if he had already got the measure of him.
Under the watchful eyes of the three Grandmasters, the Great Li Emperor remained composed, his voice strong: I am the current Emperor of the Great Li EmpireLi Hongtian! You have now invaded my imperial palace, harmed my Imperial Guards, and destroyed my royal court, for what crime did I deserve this?
The three Grandmasters looked at each other and burst into laughter.
What crime could you possibly have? Weakness is your sin. Even if we bully you, what can you do about it?
Do you think youre still the lord of an Empire? Without a Grandmaster in place, your Great Li is nothing but a toothless tiger, only capable of meaningless roars!
If I were you, Id have found a safe place to hide by now!
As the Grandmasters insulted him, the Great Li Emperors expression darkened.
However, he still maintained the composure of an emperor and said loudly: Indeed, after the demon incident, our Great Li national power has weakened, not as strong as before! But do you think a weakened Great Li will let anyone push us around? Remember, even a thin camel is bigger than a horse, and as an old-brand Empire, Great Li is not so easily bullied!
Oh? Listening to your tone, Your Majesty, it seems you still have some tricks up your sleeve!
One of the Grandmasters said with great interest: Whatever moves you have, just bring them on, I am waiting here with great anticipation!
Thats right, use whatever moves you have, Id like to see how you plan to turn the tables! the second Grandmaster said with a confident smile.
They dared to attack the Great Li Empire, surely having made thorough preparations.
They did not believe that Great Li had any power to turn defeat into victory.
The Great Li Emperor raised his head: Our Great Li national power is indeed not a match for you all! But can you contend with the rising, heaven-defying Great Xia Empire?
As soon as the words Great Xia Empire were spoken, the faces of the three Grandmasters present changed, becoming serious.
The Great Xia Empire, as the foremost Empire in the world today, has eight Grandmasters, nearly 200 Innates, and 8 million elite troops, their might overshadow everyone, indeed, we cannot compare!
Moreover, they possess the worlds number one divine sword, Xuanxiao, which can fight Great Grandmasters, invincible in the world! It is with this that the Great Xia Empire ranks as the eighth transcendent power in the world!
So, even if we joined forces, we would still be no match for Great Xia!
But what does that have to do with you?
It has everything to do with us! exclaimed the Emperor of Great Li.
We have already sent people to seek aid from Great Xia, and they have agreed to help and are sending support! Your good days are over!
The faces of the three Grandmasters changed drastically.
What? You must be lying, thats impossible!
Why would Great Xia help you? There are no ties between you!
You must be spouting nonsense to deceive us, dont fall for it!
Grandmasters, you are unaware!
The Great Li Emperor said with a smile: Its true that there are no ties between Great Li and Great Xia, but my child Qionger is a disciple of the Peerless Spear Immortal, who in turn recognizes the Great Xia Emperor as his master! In other words, my son is the martial grandchild of the Great Xia Emperor, they share a bond of mentorship! Now that Great Li is in danger, how could Great Xia stand by and watch?
The expressions of the three Grandmasters fluctuated.
One of them spoke: So what? Even if what you say is true, your bond with Great Xia is as fragile as a cobweb, easily broken! I refuse to believe that Great Xia would mobilize their forces and offend our three nations just for you!
The other two Grandmasters nodded, seemingly convincing themselves.
You are mistaken, Great Xia has already agreed to our request, and they might already be on their way! Once the Great Xia reinforcements arrive, it will be your end! Youd better withdraw your troops quickly, or you might not be able to return! the Great Li Emperor threatened.
Seeing the Great Li Emperors confident demeanor, the three Grandmasters hesitated.
