Chapter 928: Chapter 927: The World Divided into The Four Kingdoms
“The Emperor may not be aware, but this humble servant had a day with nothing to do and cast a divination, and oh dear! It frightened this humble servant out of his wits, I couldn’t even care for the beautiful scenery any longer. I hurried back, riding day and night on a swift horse, to report this matter to the Emperor,” Celestial Master Zhang was also a picture of urgency.
“Great Master, what’s so alarming?” The Emperor was puzzled. Celestial Master Zhang is a sage who rarely shows his emotions. Why would a divination scare him to such an extent?
“Has the Emperor ever heard of the Thousand Year Striped Tiger?”
“The Thousand Year Striped Tiger?”
“Yes, the very sa Thousand Year Striped Tiger.”
The Emperor stroked his chin and pondered for a while, “Before The Late Emperor passed away, I heard him ntion it, but The Late Emperor himself had never seen it. He said that these were just legends. Heavenly Master, how can we take such baseless things seriously?”
“The Emperor may not know, but such things do exist in the world, not rely legends. It’s just that the Divine Beast, the spotted tiger, has not shown itself for hundreds of years, but now that it has appeared, it signifies that the world will be unified.”
“What?”
Upon hearing this, The Emperor was greatly shocked.
No wonder The Emperor was so astonished, as Celestial Master Qian’s divinations are known to be very accurate. The Emperor naturally took his words as gospel. Thus, learning such news was, of course, a huge surprise.
“Great turmoil under the heavens? Is Moli Country involved?”
“Of course.”
“Does that not an the skies will be ablaze with war again?” The thought alone gave The Emperor a headache. He had just planned to deal a fatal blow to War Prince, but if war were to break out, wouldn’t he need to keep War Prince to fight for him? When would he ever be able to eliminate this thorn in his side?
Currently, the world is divided into The Four Kingdoms, besides Moli Country, there are Yanda Country, Wei Country, and Zhuzi Country.
Moli Country boasts the widest territory and the most fertile land. As long as the citizens are not lazy and work diligently, they can live and work in peace and contentnt.
The other three kingdoms have always suffered from barren soil. Knowing the land of Moli Country is nurturing, they have long coveted it, aspiring to attack Moli Country and claim its territory as their own.
Unfortunately, ever since War Prince led the troops into battle ten years ago, he defeated them utterly, leaving them in total disarray.
Nowadays, the neighboring Three Kingdoms, fearing War Prince, dare not invade Moli Country.
“Your Majesty, a sky ablaze with war is a minor matter,” Celestial Master Zhang whispered mysteriously into the Emperor’s ear.
The Emperor frowned, confused, “War leads to civilian distress, with bones scattered across Moli. How can it be a minor matter?”
“Of course, think about it, Your Majesty. When The Four Kingdoms unite, who the true dragon emperor is will be the real issue.”
Upon hearing this, The Emperor had an epiphany, nodding continuously, “Indeed, our Zhang Royal Dynasty cannot just perish like this!”
“That’s why this humble servant rushed back, for the Emperor to plan carefully.”
With War Prince still not dealt with, and now hearing the Heavenly Master’s words that the Dynasty is in jeopardy, The Emperor was in a mont of complete disarray.
Seeing this, Celestial Master Zhang gave his advice, “Your Majesty, in this humble servant’s opinion, our most pressing task is to find the Divine Beast, the spotted tiger. He who obtains the Divine Beast obtains the world.”
“With such a vast sea of people, where do we begin to search?” The Emperor paced back and forth, hands behind his back, full of anxiety.
“Think carefully, Your Majesty. During this humble servant’s absence from the Capital, has anything unusual happened?”
The Emperor tried hard to recall, murmuring to himself, “These days in the Capital have been calm, nothing different from usual.”
“Oh, that’s right.” Suddenly, the Emperor slapped his thigh as if he had thought of sothing, his eyes shining as he said, “Great General Situ has found his long-lost legitimate eldest Miss, and moreover, this Miss behaves unusually, returning to the Capital riding a big tiger. This news has spread all over the Capital, and everyone is talking about it with great interest. Heavenly Master, do you think this tiger could be the spotted tiger you’re looking for?”
