Chapter 1234 God of War, Determines Border Crisis
Envoy Duan glanced at Pavilion Master Qian and guessed what he was thinking. Perhaps the Night King and Princess had already prepared for their investigation?
He added, "Pavilion Master, it would be fine if the Night King and his wife stopped Soul Stealer from investigating, but why is the Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion also on guard against and taking action against Soul Stealer?" You know, in the past, the two killer organizations of theirs rarely had such tit-for-tat exchanges, but recently they have been very frequent.
Pavilion Master Qian said calmly, "It was probably ordered by the Night King."
Ye Xiaohan and Youming Jiuchong both undertook a series of actions, such as marching north to kill enemy assassins and launching separate crackdowns in the capital. Pavilion Master Qian, believing Ye Xiaohan could instruct Youming Jiuchong on certain matters, mistakenly assumed that Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion's sudden confrontation with Soul Stealer Yuanxi, even leading to a vicious rivalry, was all due to the Night King's orders for Mushi to act.
In other words, it was in order to protect Yun Mujiu that the Night King asked the Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion to boldly confront the Soul-stealing Yuanxi.
Pavilion Master Qian's guess was correct, but it was also a little off. The truth is:
Ye Xiaohan didn't hire Mu Shi to protect Yun Mujiu, the sole master, but rather ordered Mu Shi to protect their female master...
Ye Xiaohan, the ninth level of the Netherworld, is actually one person. How can it be said that one person orders and dispatches another person?
However, even a big shot like Pavilion Master Qian could not know these truths at this time.
Pavilion Master Qian simply sighed, "The degree to which the Night King cares about Yun Mujiu is far beyond people's expectations."
Of course, it was beyond his expectations.
He really wanted to find an opportunity to meet them formally, but there seemed to be no suitable reason at the moment.
Well, let's just observe them for now, especially Yun Mujiu. Pavilion Master Qian quickly made a decision.
In addition to the reactions from various factions in the capital, the eastern and western borders of Zhongyue, thousands of miles away, also reacted.
The news of the Night King's recovery had already spread throughout the border areas and even reached the Western Yi and Eastern Ocean territories.
People were amazed: "Is the War God Prince going to rise again? Oh no, the War God Prince has already risen a long time ago, but we just heard about it."
A wave of panic quickly spread across the towns of Xiyi, bordering Zhongyue's western border. After all the nations had finally united to bring down Zhongyue's legendary war god, only to find out less than a year later that the Night King was already safe and sound!
You should know that the Western Barbarians had repeatedly provoked wars, but they were all defeated by Zhongyue's Night King. In the past two months, the Western Barbarians had sent troops to operate near the Zhongyue border, showing signs of preparing to make a move.
Unexpectedly, before they could move their troops closer to Zhongyue, they heard the news that the Night King was rising!
The Western Yi army suddenly stopped and stood still, waiting for orders. Although panicked, they still held a glimmer of hope. After all, they had only heard rumors of the Night King's recovery, and no more concrete information or deeds had yet been revealed! Whether it was true or not, no one could say.
What these Western barbarians don’t know is that when news of another group of Night Kings arrives in a while, they will be so panicked!
Meanwhile, the Eastern Ocean army in the western region of the Eastern Ocean Empire also set up camp and stopped advancing. Like the Western Yi, they were filled with skepticism regarding the latest news regarding the Night King. Was Zhongyue Night King truly well? And even more powerful than before?!
In the army, two princes were discussing matters with the generals. One was the eldest prince Huangfu Gong, and the other was the second prince Huangfu Xu.
The two men wore serious expressions, and it was rare for their subordinates to see the two princes look so solemn. The princes of the Eastern Empire were known to be fearless. After all, with the strongest nation on the Star-Moon Continent as their backing, what else could they fear?
After half an hour, the two imperial princes ended the meeting and issued corresponding instructions.
On the one hand, continue to strengthen the training of soldiers.
On the other hand, people are dispatched to investigate the Night King - to see what the Night King is doing right now!
...
It was a morning with bright morning light and heavy dew and frost.
Ye Xiaohan, dressed in a light purple robe, opened the carved window, took a big step, and opened the door of the bedroom.
In Huayang Courtyard, several subordinates were standing in the corridor waiting for him.
Ye Xiaohan went out the door and went to the study, and several of his subordinates followed him.
Ye Xiaohan stood in front of the rosewood desk, without sitting down, looking at the people in front of him indifferently.
"What's happening at the border?"
The personal guards reported one by one based on the latest information received.
After a moment, Ye Xiaohan said: "Everything is going according to plan." The Western Yi army and the Eastern Yang army, which were ready to move, were indeed intimidated by the news of his display of power and dared not to move easily on Zhongyue's border.
Half turning, he gave his subordinates a cold order: "Continue to spread the news of this king to the eastern and western borders of Zhongyue, and even to the territories of Xiyi and Dongyang."
"Yes! The subordinates understand!"
After the guards left, only Wei Bai and Du Ziheng were left at the scene. Ye Xiaohan stood by the window with his hands behind his back, seemingly gazing at the ancient tree in the courtyard.
Du Ziheng stepped forward and said softly, "Your Highness, may I ask for a safety check for you?"
"No need."
"Your Majesty?"
"Shut up."
Du Ziheng shuddered and quickly shut his mouth. Wei Bai looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Ye Xiaohan turned around, and his eyes, filled with ice and broken snow, glanced over.
"You are not allowed to investigate the matter between the king and Youming anymore."
"Ah?" Wei Bai and Du Ziheng were stunned at first, then came to their senses and panicked.
The two of them knelt on the ground, and Ye Xiaohan said, "Don't bother to quibble. This king doesn't want to hear it."
The two could only swallow the words they wanted to explain, their faces turned pale, and they lowered their heads heavily.
That day, Ye Xiaohan's incarnation, the Netherworld Nine, was injured in the suburbs and suddenly experienced a unique transformation that only occurs during a blood moon night. Later, Ye Xiaohan refused to see or prescribe medicine to the Netherworld Palace's physicians, or even his trusted confidant, Du Ziheng. He also refused to allow the Netherworld Palace and the Ye Palace's trusted group to understand or question him.
However, Wei Bai, Wei Song, and Du Ziheng were truly worried about Ye Xiaohan. Therefore, they chose to privately investigate what had triggered the Night King's illness and transformation. After discussion, the three of them narrowed the scope of their investigation to the capital.
It was upon leaving the Underworld Palace and returning to the capital that Youming Jiuzhong's body underwent a transformation. Without this transformation, he would have been saved from the assassination attempt by Emperor Biluo's assassins. After tracking Youming Jiuzhong's movements and considering the small scratches on the back of his hand, Wei Bai and the other two speculated that Lord Youming, also known as the Night King, had been struck by something in a lush green area of the capital.
However, the scope of this investigation was too vast. There were countless gardens in the capital alone, and they could not find any further clues.
They never thought that before they could find out anything, their plan was discovered by the Night King.
Ye Xiao said coldly: "Do you really think that I don't know what you are doing?"
Wei Bai and Du Ziheng were shocked, and realized that nothing they did could be hidden from the all-powerful prince!
Ye Xiaohan flicked his sleeves and walked back to the desk.
"There's no need to investigate this matter further."
"Yes..." the two said with difficulty.
"I have my own plans," Ye Xiaohan said coldly. He then pulled out a bronze dragon-patterned ancient sword from the bookshelf and disappeared from the room in the blink of an eye.
Wei Bai and Du Ziheng looked up and found that the Night King was gone. They were about to cry, but they couldn't. They thought to themselves: "Your Majesty, could you please tell us what your specific plan is?"
If anything happens to you in the future, do you and your subordinates really have to ask the princess for help?
