Wanyan He looked at Yang Xiao with a bewildered expression.
Yang Xiao smiled faintly, not offering an explanation.
Liang Bao and the others were even more astonished, staring at Yang Xiao.
Wanyan He didn't dare to delay and hurriedly left with the guard, saying to Yang Xiao before departing:
"Brother Yang, don't leave, wait for to co back so we can have a drink together."
"No problem, I'm heading back to Witch Star and will be busy for a while, not leaving anyti soon."
Wanyan He followed the guard, asking him questions along the way.
"What does Father want to see for?"
"What on earth is happening?"
The guard, with a serious expression, did not smile and would only say:
"Your Highness, I really don't know. I'm just a guard beside the emperor, I do whatever the emperor instructs, I don't know anything else!"
Wanyan He, helpless, had to suppress his impatience, carrying a belly full of questions, as he followed the guard to the Royal Palace.
At this mont, in the Royal Palace hall, gathered were the First War General Wanyan Kang, the wealthiest man Qin Chuan, the Second Prince Wanyan Ying, and over a hundred high-ranking ministers and war generals.
Wanyan He noticed that they were all quietly discussing sothing.
Seeing Wanyan He enter, so officials close to the elder prince approached, quietly asking:
"Your Highness, you're here."
"Yes, you're all here. Has sothing happened?"
"I don't know, everyone is unsure of what's going on, only that the emperor has urgently summoned all to wait for him."
"Your Highness doesn't know what's happening either?"
Wanyan He hesitated for a mont, then shook his head.
"Emperor has arrived!"
With a powerful shout, the Flying Leopard Emperor slowly walked into the Royal Palace hall, surrounded by dozens of guards.
Wanyan He and the others imdiately knelt to welco the emperor.
The Flying Leopard Emperor chuckled,
"Everyone, no need for formalities, stand up, stand up, haha..."
The Flying Leopard Emperor, with hearty laughter, passed by everyone, stopping intentionally beside Wanyan He, looking at him with a smile, patting his shoulder, saying:
"Hmm, good, very good, the Eldest Prince indeed has an eye for talent, good, good!"
Wanyan He was puzzled, looking at his father, about to lower his head to say sothing flattering like "Father is wise," but the Flying Leopard Emperor was already laughing heartily and heading for the throne.
Everyone in the hall was looking at Wanyan He, unsure what was going on.
The Second Prince Wanyan Ying felt uneasy inside.
The Flying Leopard Emperor praised the Eldest Prince Wanyan He in front of everyone in such an exaggerated way, this was a first.
As for him, the Second Prince, his father didn't even glance at him as he passed by, what was going on?
The Flying Leopard Emperor sat down on the throne in the hall, waving to the crowd,
"Everyone, be at ease today, sit wherever you like."
The crowd heard this and settled down in the hall.
The First War General Wanyan Kang stood up, bowing to the emperor, saying:
"Emperor, you seem very happy, calling us urgently, could there be good news?"
"Good news? Haha, it certainly is great news, haha..."
The Flying Leopard Emperor laughed excitedly.
Gesturing, he called out to the guard:
"Bring the representative from Purple Origin Star, Aguda, forward."
The guard imdiately ran out of the Royal Palace hall.
Wanyan He and the others were taken aback upon hearing this,
"Aguda? Isn't he on Purple Origin Star? How has he returned?"
Aguda was standing outside the Royal Palace hall at the mont. Upon hearing the guard's call, he imdiately entered the hall and knelt down,
"Aguda, representing Flying Leopard Empire on Purple Origin Star, greets the emperor."
"Hmm, Aguda, rise and tell everyone what happened on Purple Origin Star."
Aguda stood up, glanced at the crowd in the hall, and said loudly:
"My lords, Aguda brings great news from Purple Origin Star, absolutely unexpected news."
Aguda and Yang Xiao had returned to Witch Star on the sa transport ship, and they returned together to Flying Leopard Empire.
Yang Xiao suggested Aguda to report directly to the emperor, while he himself went straight to the Eldest Prince Wanyan He.
The First War General Wanyan Kang was impatient, anxious in heart, especially after seeing the Flying Leopard Emperor praise Eldest Prince Wanyan He earlier, his internal urgency grew.
Upon hearing Aguda's rambling without getting to the main point, he imdiately interrupted,
"Aguda, speak plainly, focus on the important points, less nonsense."
The crowd burst in laughter.
Even the Flying Leopard Emperor, seated on the throne, laughed heartily.
Aguda's face showed embarrassnt, he quickly said:
"My lords, I bring you good news,"
Wanyan Kang: "!@#$$"
Aguda, seeing Wanyan Kang's expression, imdiately said:
"The War God from the Great Dragon Empire sneaked onto Purple Origin Star, intending to assassinate Yang Xiao quietly, but ended up being killed by Yang Xiao instead."
"Ah!"
Everyone in the hall exclaid in surprise, all stunned, yet internally extrely excited.
"The War God is dead?"
Soone wasn't sure and imdiately asked loudly.
"Yes, the War God from the Great Dragon Empire died on the spot, many people witnessed it."
The hall fell silent briefly, completely noiseless.
In an instant, an explosion of excited shouts broke out.
"Yeah, the War God of the Great Dragon Empire is dead, so satisfying!"
"This truly is magnificent news!"
"No wonder the emperor is so happy, urgently gathering us, turns out it's because our nesis, the War God, is dead, truly heartwarming!"
"How many of our people did the War God kill? Now he has t his end!"
...
The crowd in the hall cheered and rejoiced, increasingly excited.
Back in the day when Great Dragon Empire waged war against Flying Leopard Empire, the War God was the main commander on the battlefield, killing many high-ranking generals of Flying Leopard Empire, everyone truly hated him but couldn't avenge.
More importantly, with the War God dead, alongside the recently deceased Long Kui, Great Dragon Empire, the long-term threat and overlord challenging Flying Leopard Empire, could be said to have fallen resoundingly.
Even if not completely fallen, losing two Emperor Level lords, Great Dragon Empire's overall strength was greatly weakened.
So everyone was overwhelmingly excited.
The Eldest Prince, upon hearing this news, was naturally more thrilled inside, now understanding Yang Xiao's words, and why his father earlier praised him publicly.
Yang Xiao was personally befriended by him to help escape back to Purple Origin Star, it could be said that such a great feat today credited largely to Wanyan He.
Aguda looked at the excited crowd, and loudly said again:
"My lords, please be quiet for a mont, I haven't finished yet."
The crowd blinked, all quieted down, looking at Aguda.
Aguda cleared his throat,
"Moreover, the leader of Purple Origin Star, Yang Xiao, announced that 6% of the 20% Crystal Stone allocation from Great Dragon Empire would be given to Flying Leopard Empire, another 6% to Youming Empire, and the remaining 8% to several other empires."
"Yeah!"
Once again, the crowd cheered.
Wanyan Kang initially shouted excitedly, then imdiately said to Aguda:
"Are you done? If there's more, please get to the point, speak plainly, don't keep us in suspense, it's driving everyone crazy."
Aguda chuckled softly,
"Done, that's all!"
"Haha..."
The crowd burst into laughter.
