Chapter 878: Chapter 315: Five Domains Ghost Cave Riot, Heading to Qin State [10,000 Words]_3
"Your Highness, the most we’ve seen in one occurrence was only two God Realm beings, and they appeared only days later. This time, five God Realm beings have appeared directly. There might be some abnormality," Ma Shu said.
To be honest, Ma Shu had not taken the Ghost Cave unrest seriously, and neither had Ma Du.
With the military array map and the four hundred thousand strong Demon Suppression Army, and even the presence of their Ma Ancestor, any minor Ghost Cave unrest should be easily handled.
They were merely following protocol by reporting to the court, but for some reason, these ministers seemed unduly tense.
"Something drastic must have happened in the Ghost Cave. We must make full preparations. Lord Han, immediately deploy a million troops to the territory near Qin State and send an ancestor to oversee it!" Mu Rufeng spoke.
"Your Highness, it’s only five God Realm beings, so why deploy a million troops and send an Emperor Sovereign Ancestor?" Minister of War Han Chun did not understand.
Moreover, the entire nation is currently in the midst of a grand recruitment drive, something he found particularly incomprehensible.
In just over a month, the original five hundred thousand troops have nearly doubled.
"Lord Han, this Ghost Cave is about to invade comprehensively; otherwise, why do you think Father Emperor is recruiting twenty million soldiers?"
"Think about it, the other four domains should soon have messages coming in as well. If my estimation is correct, the Ghost Caves in the remaining four domains must also be showing abnormalities," Mu Rufeng said slowly.
"How is this possible."
"Comprehensive invasion? Wait, could this be the great terror that the master mentioned?"
"If the Ghost Cave truly invades comprehensively then...."
Shock washed over the assembled ministers.
Especially Ma Shu; if it’s truly as the Crown Prince said, then this is indeed a significant event.
"Lord Han, proceed immediately to mobilize troops, and the rest of you assist accordingly to ensure complete preparation. I will dispatch the Seventh Ancestor to oversee the situation," Mu Rufeng said.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Lord Han finally acquiesced.
He had no choice; refusing would change nothing now that the Crown Prince was in charge of state affairs, and he could not refuse the Crown Prince’s orders.
"Report～～～!"
Just as Lord Han was about to mobilize the forces, a shout came from outside the door.
Soon after, a eunuch rushed to the hall’s entrance.
Without waiting for anyone to ask, the eunuch immediately knelt and shouted loudly: "Crown Prince, messages from the Northern Domain Sky Sword Sect, Southern Domain Vajra Sect, Eastern Domain Sky Burial Palace, and Western Region Phoenix Clan report that Ghost Caves in each domain are in commotion, death qi covers the sky, and countless undead creatures are swarming out."
The news struck a collective chord of shock among those present.
"Is the message accurate?" Lord Han immediately inquired.
"The message is accurate, it comes from the Military Intelligence Pavilion," the eunuch responded hastily.
"Indeed, it is just as the Crown Prince said, all five domain Ghost Caves are showing activity," the Duke’s face was equally grave.
"This incident is unlike any before; we must treat it seriously."
"Yes, in past Ghost Cave disturbances, never have all five Ghost Caves acted simultaneously; not even two Ghost Caves moving together has been seen before."
The countenances of the ministers turned stern.
"The undead creatures within the Ghost Cave fear the power of sunlight and fiery flames. I urge Your Highness to open the treasury immediately and send the accumulated magic treasures of decades to Qin State," the Minister of Ministry of Industry spoke promptly.
"Liu Feng, take this personal order from me, go to the treasury, and gather all yang and fire attribute treasures, and have them escorted to Qin State," Mu Rufeng instructed.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Liu Feng promptly accepted the directive.
"Honorable ministers, state affairs will bother you momentarily. I have decided to personally go to Qin State," Mu Rufeng announced.
"No, Crown Prince, you mustn’t."
"The Ghost Cave unrest in Qin State is extremely dangerous; you shouldn’t."
Upon Mu Rufeng’s words, the attending ministers immediately intervened.
"I’ve made my decision, there’s no need for further discussion. Continue as you did before; if you encounter a situation you can’t resolve, you may consult the Ancestors but must not disturb my Father Emperor’s seclusion," Mu Rufeng stated.
In the palace, he felt no more useful role; His Majesty wished to personally go to Qin State to witness the Ghost Cave for himself.
Whether death qi was truly ghost qi, and if those undead creatures were truly the abnormals.
Most importantly, Mu Rufeng wanted to know if those Level 8 and Level 9 abnormals all resided in the Ghost Cave.
The role of the Contractors was to resist the Ghost Cave invasion; were those abnormals’ mission to invade the Heavenly Dao Continent?
Leaving Taihe Palace, Mu Rufeng hurried towards the Eastern Palace. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Soon, Mu Rufeng arrived back at the Eastern Palace.
"Liu Daban, how goes the task I entrusted you with before my retreat?" Mu Rufeng inquired.
"In response to Your Highness, General Ye Lin has mustered twenty thousand troops, and the Heavenly Prides you mentioned have been appointed to key positions within the army."
"Some of the Heavenly Prides have also been placed in suitable positions within the court," Liu Daban replied.
"Very well, you stay in the palace, keep an eye on things for me; I intend to lead the New Army to Qin State," Mu Rufeng stated.
"Your Highness, Qin State is dangerous; it’s better to preside over the court, that is the superior strategy," Liu Ming advised.
"No need for more words; where are Zhang Fuquan, Liu Feng, and Wang Chun?" Mu Rufeng called out.
In an instant, three figures swiftly approached from a distance, like a gust of wind.
"Minister present, greetings, Your Highness!" Zhang Fuquan and the others immediately stopped before him, knelt on one knee, and clasped their fists in salute.
"Liu Feng and Wang Chun, you two leave with two hundred trusted aides, stay with Liu Daban, and follow his instructions."
