Chapter 1917

A sudden storm swept through Pei Guo.

The Ze Kingdom tore up their alliance and invaded their borders. The Mist Kingdom followed closely behind, and the Flare Kingdom drew their swords!

Three Great Kingdoms had joined forces to attack Pei Kingdom. This was an unprecedented crisis!

As soon as the news spread throughout the land of the Pei Nation, everyone was in a state of panic, and all kinds of news spread like wildfire.

Some people said that Beijing and Yue Country each produced an Emperor Sheng and Prince Pei, Liu Yan, was ambitious. He wanted to break away from Great Cheng and become the third Emperor, which brought disaster to Pei Country.

Some said that King Pei was only a puppet that had been controlled by the Imperial Master, Chen Yi, for a long time, and the calamity of the Pei Kingdom was caused by Chen Yi!

All sorts of unfavorable comments spread throughout the land of Pei. In just a few short days, there were even rumors in the city of Pei.

In the beginning, due to the prestige of Prince Pei's pioneering efforts, not many people believed such words. However, as the battles unfolded on the frontlines, public opinion quickly boiled over.

With lightning speed, the Ze Kingdom swallowed up two of the Pei Kingdom's counties and successfully met up with the Mist Kingdom's army. With the combined forces of the two countries, they swept through the former Mist Kingdom's counties under the Pei Kingdom's flag with the momentum of tigers and wolves!

The Flare Nation broke through the border of the Pei Nation and used many cavalry to open the way. They burned, killed, and looted unscrupulously along the way!

In addition, in the direction of the Great Desolate Swamp, the troops stationed at the border of Ze Country had also launched an attack. Their attacks were swift and fierce, directly threatening the hinterland of Pei Country!

These attacks came as fast as a storm, but the Pei military's response was so slow that it was reprehensible. Every time they lost a large amount of territory, they would only mobilize their troops and horses in an emergency. They didn't even take in the refugees properly. For a time, complaints were heard everywhere, and Prince Pei's prestige was seriously questioned!

The situation became more and more intense. Prince Pei, Liu Yan, and Tang Xuance were extremely busy every day, and it just so happened that internal strife broke out in the imperial court!

Liu Yan's second brother, Liu Che, had openly contradicted Liu Yan in the royal court. In private, he had formed a clique for personal gain, refused to listen to orders, and even played tricks in the dark.

Faced with both internal and external problems, Liu Yan went to the Luo Water Palace many times to seek his master's help. However, he was refused entry for several days in a row.

Imperial Advisor Chen Yi was Prince Pei's greatest backer. This was something that almost all the officials of Pei knew.

However, at such a precarious time, Chen Yi refused to meet Prince Pei. It was truly thought-provoking!

As soon as the news got out, Liu Che became even more unscrupulous. He colluded with the civil and military officials in the imperial court and privately set up a government office to discuss state affairs. It seemed that he was about to force the Emperor to abdicate!

"Chen Yi hasn't seen Liu Yan for a long time. It looks like he's seriously considering Pavilion Master's suggestion."

In Peidu, in the pawnshop under the banner of Innocence Pavilion, Taoist Master Peach Blossom was reporting the situation of Luoshui Palace to Ye Wunian.

"That brat Chen Yi is very cunning. He might not really give in. Keep a close eye on the Luo Water Palace. Do not let go of any abnormal movements."

Ye Wunian sat upright on the meditation cushion and reminded.

"Pavilion Master, don't worry. We've long since filled the palace with our spies. All the connections between Luo Water Palace and the outside world are under our control."

"Chen Yi is indeed quick-witted. But this time, Innocent Pavilion and Qiankun Club are working together. No matter how capable he is, he won't be able to turn the tables. The only thing we have to worry about is that he might escape Peidu."

Master Peach Blossom said, feeling a little emotional.

Chen Yi was indeed a talent. Previously, the Pavilion Master had always wanted to support him. At one point, he was worried that the Pavilion Master's actions would conflict with the higher-ups.

However, the Pavilion Master was indeed the Pavilion Master. He had already considered everything. In the blink of an eye, he had sold Chen Yi and Peiguo together, and at a good price.

To be honest, he sympathized with Chen Yi. He knew very well what would happen to him next. However, people of different principles couldn't make plans together. He couldn't do anything for him.

"Escape? He has been operating in Peidu for so long. If he had a choice, he wouldn't have escaped. Peiguo's power is gone. With his intelligence, it's impossible for him not to understand this. "

"And he also knows that the condition I gave him was his best choice. Only by becoming the Deputy Pavilion Master of Innocence Pavilion can he have hope of regaining his influence in Great Cheng."

"It's been so many days, and he still hasn't given me an answer. It's only because he's still holding on to hope that he won't give up until all hope is gone. But in the end, he still has to face reality."

Ye Wunian laughed coldly, a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth.

Master Peach Blossom nodded. In terms of understanding people's hearts, the Pavilion Master had always been above him.

"How are the people in the pavilion coming? That Chen Yi's true cultivation is at the Sevenfold Realm. His servants and that dragon are not simple either. We must ensure that nothing goes wrong in this operation. Otherwise, we won't be able to answer to Mister Gu, "Ye Wunian asked again.

"The two elders are not far from Peidu. Including me, eleven national war-level killers are already in place. I've arranged for five of my companions to be stationed around the palace. They are in charge of secretly monitoring the Luo Water Palace, "Master Peach Blossom answered truthfully.

The national war-level killers were the mainstay of Innocence Pavilion. There weren't many of them to begin with. But now, in order to deal with Chen Yi, they had mobilized a total of eleven.

Not to mention, there were still two dream-level elders. Even the Pavilion Master had to treat them with respect. A mere Chen Yi could make the Pavilion Master put on such a grand display. Even if he were to die, he would be proud of himself!

Ye Wunian nodded. If everything went smoothly, they wouldn't have to use these combat forces.

But if something went wrong, he had to ensure that Chen Yi was killed. He also had to guard against the possible forces behind him. With these top-notch killers around, things would be much safer.

"How's the situation in Yue Nation?"

After confirming that there were no problems with the arrangements in Peidu, Ye Wunian asked about other matters.

"The Flaming Sun Crown Prince seems to be a little anxious. Right now, Yue Nation, Jin Nation, and Cang Nation are all preparing troops. I reckon that they'll attack the Sheng Yang Realm soon," Master Peach Blossom answered.

"Hmph, haste makes waste. Doesn't that idiot understand this? How can a hundred thousand Crow Generals be so easy to deal with? The safest way is to wait for the problem in Peidu to be solved, then gather the forces of the seven nations to attack the Sheng Yang Realm. "

Ye Wunian snorted coldly. He had always looked down on the son of Emperor Sheng. In his opinion, he was just lucky to have followed the right master.

With the support of a powerful force like Qiankun Group, he was still able to get to where he was now. He was incompetent to the extreme.

"What a pity. Chen Yi is much more outstanding than the Flaming Sun Crown Prince. Unfortunately, he offended someone he couldn't afford to offend."

Ye Wunian shook his head repeatedly. If he had a choice, he actually didn't want to kill Chen Yi. He was indeed a promising young man.

But he was standing on the opposite side of Qiankun Group. He might even have killed Mourning Yan, one of the Ten General Stars. If he didn't sacrifice him, how could that Mister Gu fulfill his promise?

This was the only thing he could do. The bigger picture was the most important!

…

Ten days had passed since Ye Wunian paid a visit to him.

In these ten days, Gu Chen hadn't left Luo Shui Palace. He locked himself in his room. It seemed that he had fallen into torment because of the choice that Ye Wunian had made.
