The yellow sand of the Great Desert rises.
Two dust dragons swiftly sweep past, killing all the way to the outside of Xuanji City with an astonishing montum.
As the capital of a country, there are sentries set up hundreds of miles away, so even before Li Tianyu arrived with two Imperial Camp armies, the entire Xuanji City was already alard.
A crimson light rose from within the city, enveloping the entire city.
Thick smoke appeared above the city, accompanied by an extrely muffled roar that was even more soul-stirring than thunder!
Within the smoke, sothing resembling a giant beast lood faintly.
This was Xuanji City's City Defense Array—the Holy Fla Demon Suppression Array!
It is said that hundreds of years ago, a Ninth Grade Beast rampaged across the desert, killing people.
Later, it was killed by a Martial Saint.
This Martial Saint from the desert unified the entire desert and established a vast empire.
The capital at that ti was Xuanji City, and the Ninth Grade Beast he slew was used as raw material, incorporated into the array, forming the current Holy Fla Demon Suppression Array.
More than five hundred years ago, the Great Blue Ancestor swept across the world, but ultimately was unable to completely annihilate the Grassland Royal Court and the then Desert Empire, incorporating the grasslands and desert into the Da Lan Dynasty's territory.
The reason was that both the Grassland Royal Court and Desert Empire at the ti had Peak Strong Persons, and they were the strongest among the peak!
These individuals lived in the sa era as the Great Blue Ancestor. Although overshadowed, they were never fully crushed.
Later, the Saint on the grassland died, and the king of the desert also died.
The Grassland Royal Court had to submit to the Da Lan Dynasty, while the Desert Empire split into Two Desert Countries, constantly fighting.
Though the king has died, the array he left behind still exists.
With just four top-tier experts within the array, in a short ti they can fend off attacks from Peak Strong Persons!
Though Xuanji City now has no four top-tier experts, it has the top Grandmaster on the Heavenly List, coupled with this Holy Fla Demon Suppression Array, it is indeed difficult to breach without peak combat power.
On the towering city wall, an elderly man wearing a crimson official robe, with a hairpin on his head and jade hanging from his waist, stood there looking down.
The old man's na is Wang Xingmin, the current Family Head of the Wang family, and the son of Great Grandmaster Wang Chengze.
More than two thousand Imperial Camp soldiers have ford ranks under the city, as Li Tianyu and Qiu Zian stepped forward.
"Assistant General Li Tianyu of Da Lan Dynasty's Savage Killing Army, exercising the rights entrusted by the dynasty over Xuanmo, my dynasty's Your Majesty has decreed for Grandmaster Wang Chengze, open the city gates!"
Li Tianyu raised an imperial decree with one hand, using full force to shout.
The imperial decree was prepared long ago. Originally, it should have been Li Fei leading the Savage Killing Army to 'announce the decree', but now only Li Tianyu ca.
Wang Xingmin stood on the city wall, saluted Li Tianyu with cupped hands.
He also used full force to shout:
"Family Head Wang Xingmin of the Wang family, greets Great Lan's envoy!"
He showed no contempt because Li Tianyu's official position and cultivation were not high enough.
Not to ntion Li Tianyu's representation of the Da Lan Dynasty, her identity as Li Fei's sister alone made Wang Xingmin dare not underestimate her!
"Your nation did not provide any advance notice, suddenly leading elite soldiers to our capital, which is really not in accordance with the etiquette of great nations, nor is it the way for relations between two countries."
Wang Xingmin shouted loudly to Li Tianyu.
Standing beside Li Tianyu, Qiu Zian scoffed, releasing a fierce aura skyward:
"I, the Admiral, have long had discussions with you, and you have also long represented the Wang family in agreeing to surrender, why pretend to be confused today?"
The Great Grandmaster's power made Wang Xingmin's face change slightly, sowhat afraid to et Qiu Zian's gaze.
Though he is the Family Head, his talent in martial arts is inadequate; now, he is only at the Tao Foundation Stage, facing a Great Grandmaster, it is very hard to maintain a strong front.
Wang Xingmin cupped his hands again: "Admiral Qiu, although I have had discussions with you, matters between two countries are of great importance, how can private discussions between two people be the sole basis? I ask Admiral Qiu to calm down."
Li Tianyu: "Today I co bearing the decree, and it is to publicly confirm this matter with you, open the city gates!"
Wang Xingmin cupped his hands towards her again:
"Special Envoy Li, the two countries have only recently ceased hostilities, and you suddenly brought elite soldiers here, causing fear within the city, making people uneasy, please forgive my reluctance to open the gates. If Special Envoy Li wishes to discuss, you may enter the city with Admiral Qiu to talk."
His deanor was extrely humble, yet he did not concede a single step in action.
"For us to enter the city and talk?"
Qiu Zian's eyes turned cold.
She is just now recovering to Peak State, against Wang Chengze, first on the Heavenly List, she is at an absolute disadvantage.
If she were to enter the city alone with Li Tianyu, it would indeed be like walking into a trap.
"Let Wang Chengze co to see !"
Qiu Zian stopped wasting words with Wang Xingmin, wanting to directly talk to the person behind the scenes.
Wang Xingmin smiled bitterly and bowed again:
"Admiral, I sincerely apologize, my father was injured earlier, currently in closed-door healing, at a critical point, unable to co out and see anyone, please forgive ."
Qiu Zian turned to look at Li Tianyu, the two exchanged a glance.
"It seems they want to stall for ti."
Li Tianyu whispered and made a judgnt.
Wang Chengze is the real decision-maker, but now unwilling to show himself, it is clear he does not want to settle with the Da Lan Dynasty at this ti, hence only letting Wang Xingmin appear.
This way, even if problems arise in the future, the other side can shift all the bla to Wang Xingmin, claiming that he was in seclusion and was unaware.
Such cunning choices would usually make Li Tianyu find it troubleso.
But now, for her, things beca simpler—
