Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 722 - 726: Unparalleled Ferocious Reputation_1

「Sky Sword Pavilion!」

"The 'Death Warrant'!"

The Heavenly Sword Immortal looked at the intelligence report, sneering. It seemed the Crystal Clan was cornered, forced to issue a death warrant. They even unprecedentedly offered a level five immortal technique as a reward.

If things proceeded as expected, countless renowned experts from the Lesser Thousand Worlds would soon flock here.

This caused him to worry secretly.

Judging by the methods Li Yuanba used to slay Crystal Sage Jade, he could easily dominate the Taiyi Earth Immortal Realm. But as the old saying goes, enough ants can kill an elephant. With so many experts surging into the Red Dragon Starfield, could the Qin Dynasty Heavenly Court withstand it?

"No, I must keep a close eye on this!"

The Heavenly Sword Immortal put down the report, his aged face etched with worry. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

This old man, who had toiled for the human race for most of his life, was troubled once more.

In the Imperial Study of the Qin Dynasty Heavenly Court, filled with an imperial aura, Jia Xu stood and respectfully reported, "Your Majesty, the 'Death Warrant' has been issued from the Fifth Heaven. I fear it won't be long before experts come knocking on our door!"

On the imperial throne, Qin Wudao's expression remained unchanged. His fingers tapped the armrest, producing a dull sound that echoed through the grand hall, creating an oppressive atmosphere.

Jia Xu's upright posture bent slightly at this moment.

"A Death Warrant!"

"What exactly happened in the Fifth Heaven?"

After a moment, Qin Wudao spoke slowly.

After slaying Crystal Sage Jade, he had prepared to mobilize the entire nation to battle the Golden Immortal experts of the Crystal Clan. Yet, nearly two months had passed, and all he received was a 'Death Warrant'!

Although the 'Death Warrant' posed a significant threat, it was far less substantial than facing Golden Immortal experts directly.

Why wouldn't the Crystal Clan take action themselves?

"Your Majesty, it seems the human race from the Fifth Heaven intervened!"

Jia Xu speculated after a moment of contemplation.

The Qin Dynasty had only recently ascended to the All Heavens and Myriad Realms. Apart from their good relationship with the Sky Sword Pavilion, they weren't acquainted with any other factions.

In their current predicament, they would be fortunate if other factions refrained from kicking them while they were down; assistance was out of the question. The only power that might help the Qin Dynasty was the human race itself!

"The human race!"

Qin Wudao nodded, no longer dwelling on the issue. He began to consider how to deal with this 'Death Warrant'.

The allure of a level five immortal technique! Undeniable! He feared that most of the experts from the Second to Fourth Heavens were already on their way, eager to claim his head and curry favor with the Crystal Clan in exchange for the immortal technique. Defensive preparations had to be made in advance! However, among the experts of the Qin Dynasty Heavenly Court, only four could contend with Taiyi Earth Immortal Realm powerhouses: Zhao Yun, Li Yuanba, Lv Bu, and Luo Yi.

"Issue my decree: activate the Great Wall! No one is to enter or exit!"

"Zhao Yun will guard the Eastern National Gate, Li Yuanba the Western National Gate, Lv Bu the Northern National Gate, and Luo Yi will lead the Eighteen Yan Yun Riders to guard the Southern National Gate!"

After a moment, Qin Wudao stood up, paced back and forth a few times, and issued his commands in a resolute voice.

"Your Majesty, are you not leaving any experts to garrison the Imperial City?"

Jia Xu asked with concern upon hearing this.

Dispatching all the powerful experts would be risky; if someone were to use secret arts to bypass the Great Wall and enter the Imperial Capital, it would undoubtedly spell disaster.

"I will personally guard the Imperial City!"

Qin Wudao waved his hand, his expression solemn as he spoke with gravity.

He knew full well how dangerous it would be without powerful experts garrisoning the Imperial City.

But what other choice did he have?

The All Clans of the heavens detested the human race, and the demonic path was exceptionally cruel. If they were allowed through the national gates, they would inevitably harm the people of the Qin Dynasty, unleashing a torrent of blood and carving a path of slaughter all the way to the Imperial Capital.

By then, even if he managed to defend the Imperial City, what would be the point if the Nine Provinces were breached and devastated, filled with ruin and countless casualties?

He actually felt a sense of relief, fortunate that the Qin Dynasty possessed the Great Wall to protect it, keeping invading enemies beyond its gates.

"As you command!"

Jia Xu, understanding the stakes, clasped his hands in a salute and quietly exited the Imperial Study.

Qin Wudao sat back on the imperial throne, his face slightly grim. This 'Death Warrant' had thoroughly exposed the Qin Dynasty's deficiencies.

Strength! It was still far from enough! If the Qin Dynasty had dozens of Taiyi Earth Immortal Realm experts garrisoned, why would they fear the experts from the Lesser Thousand Worlds?

"Who would have thought that this head of mine is worth a level five immortal technique!"

Suddenly, Qin Wudao chuckled. His figure flickered and gradually vanished.

When he reappeared, he was already beside the Immortal Pool. A dense spiritual aura floated about, and the laws of the Immortal Dao flourished. Xiao He, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and others were meditating with their eyes closed.

A month ago, all the Qin Dynasty ministers whose names were on the Investiture of the Gods had been successfully revived.

The only drawback was that their cultivation realms remained the same as before their deaths. Even after cultivating in the Immortal Pool for a month, the strongest among them were merely at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, still a long way from being able to act independently.

Qin Wudao tapped his toes lightly, flying to the center of the Immortal Pool, where he sat cross-legged and began to meditate.

His Cultivation Technique began to operate.

An immeasurable amount of immortal energy gathered, forming a massive vortex.

An aura at the late stage of the Profound Immortal Realm erupted from him as he began to charge towards the peak of the Profound Immortal Realm!

「Ever-Victorious Marquis's Estate!」

Zhao Yun had changed out of his everyday attire, donned his armor, and now sat in the room, war spear in hand, eyes closed, waiting silently.

"General, what are you doing?"

Seeing this unusual behavior, the steward asked curiously.

"Waiting for the imperial edict. To go kill."

Zhao Yun did not open his eyes, his voice laced with an endless chill.

Hearing this, the steward asked no more. He bowed and left the main hall, though his face was filled with concern.

"Imperial Edict! Ever-Victorious Marquis Zhao Yun is to proceed immediately to the eastern section of the Great Wall, guard the National Gate, and resist the invasion of the All Clans!"

A few minutes later, several Imperial Guard soldiers entered the marquis's estate, holding a scroll—the imperial edict—and announced loudly.

The resonant voice echoed throughout the estate, causing the busy servants to look worried.

"This general obeys!"

Zhao Yun's tightly closed eyes finally opened. His gaze, sharp as a spear, flashed with boundless killing intent that seemed to pierce the Void.

He stood up, walked into the courtyard, and saluted respectfully.

"General, please be careful!"

The general who had delivered the edict handed it to Zhao Yun. Placing his right hand over his chest, he knelt on one knee in a military salute before departing with the soldiers.

Zhao Yun nodded, picked up his war spear, and prepared to head to the Great Wall.

"General, please wait!"

Just then, the steward hurried over, holding a Space Ring. He smiled and said, "General, this contains imperially bestowed fine wine and your favorite dishes!"

"The borderlands are bitterly cold, unlike the prosperous Imperial Capital!"

"General, you must take good care of yourself while you are away!"

Before long, all the servants of the Ever-Victorious Marquis's Estate had gathered, their faces etched with worry. Some opened their mouths as if to speak, only to hesitate.

"I appreciate the thought."

Zhao Yun took the Space Ring, patted the steward's shoulder, and turned to leave.

Meanwhile, in the residences of other generals, Lv Bu, Li Yuanba, and Luo Yi also received their imperial edicts. Without hesitation, they donned their armor and departed the Imperial Capital.

Their strides were incomparably firm.

Their journey this time was to protect their nation!

Their journey this time was to wage war against the All Clans!

Their journey this time was to ensure the prestige of the Qin Dynasty Heavenly Court resounded throughout the Lesser Thousand Worlds!
