Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 518 - Xiao Yi Must Die!

Northern Bing City.

Within a separate courtyard in the city.

The current mansion of the city lord had already turned into an ant nest, completely unfit for habitation.

After dealing with Slaughter Thousand Blades and the others, they moved into this courtyard.

Although they had set the grand plan to counterattack the Sword Dynasty, many among them were injured and needed a place to heal. At the same time, they also needed to send news back about Northern Bing City.

Xiao Yi slowly opened his eyes and saw Liu Yi walking in from outside.

After these successive battles, Liu Yi's cultivation was faintly showing signs of breaking through to the Dharma Manifestation Realm. He approached Xiao Yi with a respectful expression and said, "Chief Xiao, I have already sent someone to rush to Xingmen City. Upon receiving the message, the general will immediately dispatch troops to take over Northern Bing City!"

Xingmen City was not close to Northern Bing City.

Even for a strong practitioner in the Tao Tribulation Realm at full speed, it was only a matter of a couple of hours' time.

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "By now, General Liu must have received the letter… Have the brothers tidy up, and we will set off immediately after nightfall!"

"Understood!"

Liu Yi nodded excitedly.

Counterattacking the Sword Dynasty!

This was something that generations of the Great Qian Dynasty had always wanted to do, but for various reasons, they had never been able to achieve this goal. If they could truly capture a few cities of the Sword Dynasty, that would be an unprecedented feat.

They would go down in history.

And have their names eternally engraved on the monument of the Great Qian Dynasty's meritorious deeds.

Meanwhile, within Xingmen City of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Liu Fuhai was receiving a group of unwelcome guests!

In the main hall.

Liu Fuhai's face was dark as he looked at the several people in front of him.

The leader was the newly-promoted first-rank official, Minister of War Xu Wengang. By his side were the strong practitioners from the Tianjian Sect, Three Seas Mountain, Wendao Villa, and other sects, with more than ten alone at the Dharma Phase Realm Peak.

There were even five practitioners from the Nirvana Realm.

The strongest among them, a practitioner of the Tianjian Sect, was the Huihai Sword Master, a master of the Nirvana Realm at the Seven Nihilities Realm.

Xu Wengang's gaze was chilly as he said indifferently, "General Liu, you should be aware of the grave crime of killing a prince without authorization. Now, I order you to dispatch the troops and accompany me to Northern Bing City to capture the traitor Xiao Yi. Will you go or not?"

Whoo!

Liu Fuhai took a deep breath and said coldly, "Minister Xu, as I've clearly stated in my report, the situation was critical at the time, and Xiao Yi did not intentionally kill the prince…"

"Shut your mouth!"

Xu Wengang scoffed coldly, interrupting him, "I have already investigated the matter thoroughly. Xiao Yi deliberately killed the fifth prince in a fit of rage. Do you still wish to cover up his crime? Today, I come on orders to capture the felon Xiao Yi. Liu Fuhai, you'd best cooperate…"

Liu Fuhai's eyes were bloodshot as he argued forcefully, "Even if Xiao Yi killed the fifth prince, it was for the people of the Great Qian Dynasty. He is now leading the elite troops into Northern Bing City, plunging into enemy territory, fighting bloody battles. Yet here you are, racking your brains to deal with him. Isn't this utterly disheartening?"

"Hahaha, ludicrous, truly ludicrous. You say Xiao Yi is going deep into enemy territory, fighting bloody battles? As far as I know, he left with only a thousand men. My hundreds of thousands of troops have been turned to ash. What can Xiao Yi do with merely a thousand men?" Xu Wengang scoffed repeatedly, his words full of mockery.

The Nirvana Realm master from Three Seas Mountain also shook his head and mocked, "With his mere triple Dharma Manifestation Realm cultivation, does he think he can venture amidst tens of thousands of troops and take the head of a general?"

"General Liu, just cooperate with us obediently and capture Xiao Yi!"

They were still speaking.

Suddenly...

A loud voice came from outside the door, "General, a victorious report, a victorious report indeed... Chief Xiao leading a thousand elite troops has broken through Northern Bing City, slain the Sword Dynasty's ninth prince, the top general Slaughter Thousand Blades, Mu Yan as well as Tie Ying, and at the same time annihilated the enemy's two hundred thousand strong! It's a great victory..."

Boom!

Within the hall, there was utter silence.

Everyone's face burned with pain as if they had been slapped dozens of times.

They had just been confidently declaring that Xiao Yi, leading a thousand men, couldn't possibly make any difference.

And yet...

The man not only won but achieved a complete victory!

He annihilated the Sword Dynasty's several hundred thousand troops.

He killed the Ninth Prince and three high-ranking generals.

This was equivalent to him single-handedly averting the Great Qian Dynasty's peril of annihilation!

Gurgle!

Xu Wengang and others swallowed hard, their faces dumbfounded.

Liu Fuhai also lost his composure for a moment, then tremblingly took the battle report, and as he looked at Liu Yi's personal signature and seal on it, his aged face reddened with excitement, tears in his eyes, and he laughed heartily, "Good, good, good! How excellent! I never expected that Xiao Yi, with his own strength, really resolved the crisis of our Great Qian Dynasty being wiped out. It's just too wonderful!"

Liu Fuhai, with a mocking gaze, looked towards Xu Wengang and the others, his words thick with scorn: "Gentlemen, this is the battle report Liu Yi has just sent back. Take a look for yourselves!"

"This is impossible..."

"Xiao Yi must be falsely reporting military affairs!"

Xu Wengang's face darkened as he took the battle report, each word stabbing at his heart like steel needles, causing his complexion to turn from white to ashen. Especially upon seeing Liu Yi's seal and signature, Xu Wengang's knees weakened, and the battle report dropped from his hands.

If this battle report were to reach the imperial capital,

Xiao Yi's name would surpass that of the Matchless War King to become the new Guardian God of the Great Qian Dynasty!

This was an unparalleled achievement!

By then...

If the Crown Prince dared to move against Xiao Yi, that would mean making enemies of the entire nation!

"We absolutely cannot let this battle report reach His Majesty..." Xu Wengang's eyes flashed with a malicious resentment as he looked at the people before him, making a throat-slashing gesture.

The Huihai Sword Master nodded slightly.

His figure flickered.

Thrust!

An icy longsword pierced straight through Liu Fuhai's chest, and with a 'whoosh,' the longsword was withdrawn.

Thump!

Liu Fuhai fell to the ground, his face filled with bewilderment as he looked at Xu Wengang and the others: "You, you, you..."

Xu Wengang coldly said, "Blame yourself for not recognizing the situation, for foolishly trying to report this battle to His Majesty."

"You... framing a loyal official, will not end well..."

Liu Fuhai closed his eyes in despair.

"Framing a loyal official? Humph, it's up to us to decide who is loyal and who is a traitor." Xu Wengang looked at the others, "Gentlemen, now that we are all in support of the Crown Prince, we must do everything in our power to clear the path for him. I must trouble you all to accompany me to Northern Bing City to eliminate Xiao Yi, to remove him root and stem!"

"Of course!"

"Xiao Yi must die!"

Xu Wengang and the others soared into the sky, heading straight for Northern Bing City.

But they didn't notice...

After they left, the lifeless Liu Fuhai suddenly opened his eyes, a vicious and resolute look crossing them: "I can't die, I must notify Xiao Yi as soon as possible..."
