âYouâre bringing me⦠to Tenshou capital planet⦠to watch fireworks?â Luo Putiâs brows furrowed.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Why would Chen Xiaobei say something like that?
âChilde Chen⦠Youâre joking, right? Going there is suicideâ¦â The rest of the group said.
Helian Tulong, on the other hand, burst into laughter. âDo you see it now? The cat is out of the bag! Chen Zhufeng is tricking you! I donât believe that any of you have the balls to go! This is suicide! A suicide mission!â
âHelian Tulong!â Luo Puti turned around to glare at their prisoner. âDid Chen Xiaobei damage your brain? How can you say something so stupid?!â
Luo Qiongcang joined his daughter. âHelian Tulong! Donât even try to sow dissension among us! Chide Chen could have killed all of us with a snap of his finger! Why would he play some elaborate trick on us?â
âYeah!â The people of Saint Duke agreed. âWhy would he need to do that?!â
With everyone speaking against him, Helian Tulong found himself speechless.
The people of Saint Duke were all on Chen Xiaobeiâs side. They would not fall again for Helian Tulongâs attempt to drive a wedge between them.
âChilde Chen, we trust you!â Luo Qiongcang declared. âWeâll do as you tell us! Weâll follow you to ends of the world!â
Everyone else nodded.
âGood! Letâs go to the portal!â Chen Xiaobei said, still holding Luo Putiâs hand.
Luo Qiong and the other core members of Saint Duke followed closely behind.
Trailing at the back was Helian Tulong grappled by two Saint Duke soldiers.
â¦
Hundreds of armed soldiers had gathered at the portal.
A young man dressed in magnificent clothing walked up to Chen Xiaobei and bowed. âBro Bei! Everything is in order!â
Chen Xiaobeiâs entourage gasped.
That young man was the young master of Saint Dukeâs most powerful faction, Yuwen Yuanqin.
The soldiers with him were Yuwen familyâs personal bodyguards, bound only to the family â not even Luo Qiongcang could command them!
The Yuwen family was preceded only by the Luo imperial family!
This family had been secretly exchanging intel with Royal Domeâs Ximen family. Luo Qiongcang and the core members of Saint Duke were well aware of that and had been anticipating the familyâs betrayal.
They never thought that they would see Yuwen Yuanqing taking orders from Chen Xiaobei, and pledging the service of his family troops to Chen Xiaobei!
What in the world was happening here?
âCome one! Letâs go to Tenshou!â Chen Xiaobei said.
âLuo Qiongcnag muttered under his breath. âChilde Chen⦠Youâre mistaken⦠Saint Duke and Tenshou are enemies! Our portals are not connected to theirsâ¦â
Yuwen Yuanqing answered, âDonât worry, your grace! Bro Bei knew this all along! Iâve already connected this portal to the one in Tenshou! You can travel there whenever you want!â
âWhatâ¦â Luo Qiongcang stammered. âEven if weâre willing to allow the access, Tenshou wonât!â
Yuwen Yuanqing smiled. âDonât worry, your grace! Tenshou has ceased to exist except in name only!â
It took a while for everyone to digest the information.
How could a powerful starfield like Tenshou cease to exist?
Tenshou was Saint Dukeâs enemy!
If Tenshou really was dead, that would mean Saint Duke was no longer in danger! This was not something to blather about!
âThis is not something that can be explained with just words! Everyone, just follow me!â Chen Xiaobei smiled.
âAlright! We trust you! Letâs go!â Luo Qiongcang signaled to his people to step through the portal.
There were flashes of light, and the group found themselves in Tenshouâs capital planet.
âIs this their capital city! Wow! Itâs much more prosperous than ours!â Someone exclaimed.
Others were not as excited. âTheir prosperity had been built on our expanse! All these years, all the resources theyâve taken from us is enough to build an entire country! The Tenshou are ruthless and vicious beasts!â
Luo Qiongcang looked around and was suddenly nervous. âChilde Chen, why isnât there a single person here? It feels desertedâ¦â
Everyone else looked at Chen Xiaobei. They wanted to know, too.
There was not a single soul in the modern capital city. It was very odd.
Chen Xiaobei shrugged. âA curfew has been imposed on the city. Everyone is at home watching tv!â
That did not make the whole situation less puzzling.
Chen Xiaobei continued, âEverything thatâs about to happen will be broadcasted live to every Tenshou household!
The Saint Duke people were only more befuddled now.
âLetâs go to their Royal Palace!â Chen Xiaobei announced, leading the group with Luo Puti.
â¦
On their way to the palace, they did not encounter a single soul.
When they stepped into the palace though, hundreds of thousands of people were waiting for them!
The grand emperor of Divine Dragon race, the grand emperor of Apocalypse Starfieldâs Vermillion Dragon, the holy emperor of Neptune, the newly appointed emperor of Royal Dome, the master of Yuwen household, and the master of Ximen household stood shoulder to shoulder. Behind them stood the key members of all six forces, which was followed by their top-tier elites.
Altogether, these people were enough to trample all starfields in the Nine Zones by storm!
This was a monumental moment for the people of Saint Duke!
Then, four emperors, the masters of the two households, and the rest of the ten thousand people raised their hands, palm-in-fist towards Chen Xiaobei and bowed.
âGreetings Childe Zhufeng!â
