The Future Empress Is Given Death At The Beginning, And I Become Stronger When I Am Stupid.

"After meeting Jiang Luoshen, don't rush to express sincerity. Instead, let's see what chips Jie Qianxue will offer, and we'll discuss further."

Zhao Yuan, a burly figure, sat on a high seat and instructed his two subordinates.

This cooperation is related to the luck of Heavenly Essence Dynasty for the next few hundred or even thousand years. There must be no mistakes.

At this moment, one of the followers whispered,

"Sir, I feel that Jie Hongyi doesn't take us seriously at all. It would be better for us to bypass Ash Moon Dynasty and directly cooperate with the Northern Territory..."

Another follower echoed, "Yes, sir. Jie Hongyi is just relying on geographical advantage. Otherwise, we wouldn't be easily controlled by her."

"Foolish!"

Zhao Yuan snorted coldly and reprimanded sternly, "This is not appropriate. Ash Moon Dynasty is powerful. If we offend Jie Hongyi, it will only cause bigger trouble. Moreover, this mission was entrusted to me by His Majesty. There can be no mistakes, otherwise..."

By the end of his words, the threat in Zhao Yuan's eyes was evident.

Upon hearing this, the other two powerhouses immediately fell silent and dared not speak further.

They naturally understood the significance of this mission to Heavenly Essence Dynasty. If they failed, they would undoubtedly die.

"I'll say it again, Jie Qianxue is the main focus of this mission. As long as we promote this cooperation, our army will be able to enter Ash Moon Dynasty as if entering an unmanned territory."

"By then, even if Jie Hongyi has concerns, it will be too late. The sword is already drawn, and she has no choice but to strike, otherwise it might be her Ash Moon Dynasty that gets destroyed!"

Zhao Yuan said in a deep voice.

His gaze flickered, and there was a cold curve at the corner of his mouth.

Jie Hongyi may have her own ideas, but isn't Heavenly Essence Dynasty the same?

There are no permanent enemies or allies, only permanent interests!

"Yes! We understand!" The two followers immediately bowed and saluted.

Two flying boats, one in front and one behind, shuttled through the vast sea of clouds, heading towards the Northern Territory.

.........

Jiangnan County.

In the bustling city, a deafening Earth Shaker drum sound suddenly resounded.

"Dang~Dong~Dong~Dang~"

The sound of the bell echoed far and wide, lingering for a long time.

In an instant, the people walking on the streets looked up at the sky, their faces filled with confusion.

"This sound... why does it feel like the war drums are beating?"

"Could there be an enemy attack?"

"How is that possible? Our Jiangnan County is protected by formations. The enemy can't get in."

"Could it be a newly built restaurant ringing the bell?"

"..."

The crowd was full of doubts, and various speculations emerged.

But in just a moment, almost all the cultivators in the entire city of Jiangnan County looked up at the sky, their faces solemn.

"Dong~Dong—"

The drum sound continued, resounding through the sky.

"Boom rumble..."

At the same time, dark clouds filled the sky, thunder rolled, and the fierce wind howled.

The originally clear and rainless sky became terrifyingly gloomy.

As if doomsday was approaching.

"Hiss! How... how can this be?"

"Could there really be something major happening?"

The people on the streets were shocked, unable to help but gasp in cold air.

"Buzz—"

Only a harsh spatial roar was heard, and a huge flying boat broke through the air.

The flying boat was tens of thousands of zhang long, pitch black like ink, like a giant dragon spanning outside the city gate, blocking the sunlight.

That terrifying momentum spread, making everyone feel chilled.

On the deck of the flying boat, a black flag fluttered, bearing a character full of charm: Jiang!

"This... this is the Jiang flag!? This is a flying boat from the Northern Territory?"

Some knowledgeable people's pupils contracted.

They recognized the flag on the flying boat.

Jiang!

This is the flag of the Northern Guardian Army. Only the Northern Guardian Legion is worthy of possessing it.

"Hiss! The flag with the character 'Jiang' has appeared. Could it be..."

"How did they get here?! Isn't there a formation guarding outside Jiangnan County?"

"Do I even need to say it? The formation must have been broken!"

"Hiss, so quickly? Why haven't we received any news?!"

"So this is the strength of the Northern Guardian Army..."

"This huge flying boat can carry tens of thousands of people!"

The crowd looked at this sky-obscuring flying boat, feeling an inexplicable shock.

They couldn't understand how the Northern Guardian Army managed to bypass the protective formation outside Jiangnan County and appear above the city.

Could it be that the formation was really broken?

Is the Northern Guardian Army really this powerful?

At the same time, defensive formations all over the city were activated.

In an instant, endless runes lit up, illuminating the sky.

One after another, spiritual lights shot out, enveloping the entire city, protecting everyone within.

"Dong~ Dong~ Dong~"

On the flying boat, the sound of drums grew louder.

Each beat was like a muffled thunder, deafening.

At this moment, everyone in Jiangnan County had their eyes fixed on this flying boat, without exception.

"The Northern Guardian Army has finally arrived!"

Many powerful cultivators sighed inwardly.

Since the moment they learned that the Northern Guardian King had been wrongfully killed in prison, they had anticipated this day.

Sure enough, the Northern Guardian Army had come.

And at this moment,

A faint voice slowly echoed in the ears of the crowd.

"I am Jiang Luoshen, the daughter of the Northern Guardian King.

Now that a tyrant reigns and loyalists are being harmed, with the people's grievances boiling, all of you are citizens of Great Qin. You should uphold justice, overthrow the tyrant, protect the peace of Great Qin. Are you willing to assist me?"

The ethereal voice resounded in the ears of everyone present.

Everyone could hear it clearly.

It contained endless determination to kill, making people shudder involuntarily.

The legs of some weaker cultivators trembled, almost kneeling down.

"Such formidable power, worthy of being the daughter of the Northern Guardian King!"

"This strength... I'm afraid it has already reached the Primordial Spirit Realm!"

"Hiss... I heard that Jiang Luoshen is only nineteen years old? Nineteen years old and already in the Primordial Spirit Realm?!"

"Jiang Luoshen has already shown the posture of a young Supreme, and in the future, she will undoubtedly reach the level of a Saint, or even have the Posture of the Great Emperor!"

"It's terrifying!"

Some strong cultivators couldn't help but take a deep breath.

A nineteen-year-old in the Primordial Spirit Realm is extremely rare in the entire Heavenly River Domain.

If given enough time to grow, she might have a chance to reach the peak!

Many people in their hearts had already started to consider surrendering.

After all, compared to the incompetent emperor, Jiang Luoshen was clearly a more worthy choice in terms of potential, strength, and reputation.

In fact, many people showed a sense of indignation, their dissatisfaction with the emperor becoming even stronger.

However, there were also many people who remained silent, seemingly caught in a dilemma.

After all, this was the crime of rebellion, and if they failed, it would be a heinous crime that would affect nine generations. No one wanted to bear such responsibility.

"We are willing to serve Your Highness!"

Just as the crowd hesitated, a young man on the city wall suddenly shouted.

In an instant, the crowd became chaotic, with discussions breaking out everywhere.
