Chapter 2491: The Long Xuan Empire’s Awkward Situation (1)
After Duan Hen, the Lan Yue Dynasty also handed over the records of their country’s preparations.
Compared with the Divine Wind Alliance and the Seven Kingdoms, the preparations of this country could
be said to be in good order, with no major aws nor points worthy of attention. Just like the king of the
Lan Yue Dynasty, who had always remained unmoved either by gains or losses and was easy to ignore.
Of the four countries, only the Long Xuan Empire had not moved.
The emperor of the Long Xuan Empire was sitting at the table, his whole body tight; he was on pins and
needles.
Compared with the other three countries, the Long Xuan Empire could be said to have basically not
strengthened its military, and even other parts of their pre-war preparations had not moved much. Its
strength was no dierent from two years ago.
Was the emperor afraid?
He must be afraid!
He had believed that Shen Yanxiao would die in a foreign land. He never thought that Shen Yanxiao would
come back. And seeing her today, he felt more and more that Shen Yanxiao was stronger than she had
been two or so years ago; the power of The Rising Sun City and the Barren Land had also changed
dramatically.
The emperor got up and stood in front of Shen Yanxiao at this moment, just like a toddler standing at the
feet of a giant, raising his eyes with boundless fear. He knew very well that he had nothing comparable to
Shen Yanxiao. If she wanted to kill him, it was as simple as crus.h.i.+ng an ant.
The emperor hated that he was unable to go back in time. If he could, he would honestly prepare for the
war as Shen Yanxiao told them before she left, instead of giving up his last chance because of his inner
hatred.
The emperor remained motionless; he did not dare to move.
Shen Yanxiao looked at the emperor with his head down and his shoulders trembling faintly. Her eyes
narrowed slightly.
Shen Yanxiao had already learned the situation of the Long Xuan Empire over the past two years from Du
Lang’s mouth.
Although Shen Yanxiao had not been in the Radiance Continent in recent years, the people of The Rising
Sun City had never relaxed their observation of the other four countries. Every move of the four countries’
rulers had been recorded by The Rising Sun City. When Shen Yanxiao returned, the records had already
been given to her for inspection.
How could Shen Yanxiao not know about the emperor’s little tricks?
“Why do I feel a little embarra.s.sed?” There was silence in the hall. Tang Nazhi could not bear it and
whispered in Qi Xia’s ear.
“Hmm?” Qi Xia raised an eyebrow and looked at Tang Nazhi.
“Although we have now separated ourselves from the Long Xuan Empire, after all is said and done, our
ve great clans still came from that place. How can the emperor become as timid as a mouse? It makes
me embarra.s.sed to say that I used to be from the Long Xuan Empire.” Tang Nazhi was very depressed.
When the ve great clans were still in the Long Xuan Empire, the emperor was very polite to them, but he
didn’t put down his superiority nor arrogance even once; he never lost any of his bearing as a king.
But after just a few years’ time, the emperor of the Long Xuan Empire had been reduced to one who did
not even have the courage to speak?
Just look at his performance in the hall, lowering his head from beginning to end without saying a word.
Had it not been for the little dignity of a king left in him, he would have gone under the table already.
It was really a shame that an emperor of a country was unexpectedly reduced to this level.
Qi Xia let out a chuckle, covered his face with the white jade bone fan and whispered back, “Do you think
he’s still the emperor of those days?”
“What do you mean?” Tang Nazhi was slightly stunned.
“The reason why the Long Xuan Empire was able to stand rst among the four countries before was that
there were the Mythological Beasts of our ve great clans sitting in town. But now, the ve great clans
have long been separated from the Long Xuan Empire and the country’s position as rst is no longer
guaranteed.”
