Feng Wu was surprised.
Most of the time, only a divine weapon required blood.
It was at least a semi-divine weapon!
Feng Wu looked up at Master Linghu in astonishment. “Fifth Senior Brother…”
Master Linghu rubbed her head. “Do as you’re told.”
“Alright.”
Expectedly, Feng Wu dripped blood on the ball. Soon, it popped open, and a suit of armor floated in mid-air.
It was covered with scales and filled with fighting spirit.
“A semi-divine weapon?!” Feng Wu was pleasantly surprised.
Master Linghu said, “It used to be a divine weapon, but because you’re still a little weak, if you put on a divine weapon, peak Spiritual Saints will try to take it away. Therefore, I’ve suppressed it to a semi-divine weapon. “One day, when you’re strong enough, you can upgrade it to a divine weapon.”
Master Linghu looked at his junior sister in amazement. Apart from cultivation, each of her six senior brothers was only good at one subject. Huyan specialized in both cultivation and weapon refinement.
Their third senior brother was a cultivator and a swordsman.
He, on the other hand, specialized in cultivation and formations.
But Feng Wu was the only exception… Their master had taught her everything, and she just happened to be very smart.
No matter what her master taught her, she could master it as soon as she was taught. Once she mastered it, she would be able to draw inferences from it and innovate… The girl was amazing.
“It’s called the Qilin Armor,” said Master Linghu. “It’s returned to its rightful owner, but don’t wear it unless you have no other choice. Although I’ve changed its appearance, old people may still recognize it.”
Feng Wu nodded.
After bidding Master Linghu farewell, Feng Wu entered the imperial palace with the Qilin Armor.
Emperor Wu was sitting in the study with a long face when Feng Wu saw him.
“Xiao wu!”
Emperor Wu was elated to see Feng Wu. He rose to his feet and went to greet her.
“Your Majesty.” Feng Wu greeted him.
Emperor Wu waved his hand. “Why are you doing this? Get up!” Emperor Wu wanted to talk to Feng Wu, so he led her to a table and sat her down.
Other people wouldn’t have a place to sit if they came here to see Emperor Wu. They could just stand there.
Emperor Wu had set up the table for Feng Wu and Jun Linyuan.
“How’s your injury? Is it serious? Did Master Linghu tell you anything?”
Feng Wu hadn’t woken up that day, and the imperial physicians couldn’t do much, so Emperor Wu went to Master Linghu himself. Master Linghu was indeed here, but he took Feng Wu to the Wandering Temple straight away.
Feng Wu then told him what Master Linghu had told her about the Dayan Empire.
“I see, I see…” Emperor Wu looked anxious. “The Dayan Empire has set their eyes on Junwu. They want Master Linghu dead, as well as the crown prince, you, and all the talented people…’
Emperor Wu smiled bitterly and rubbed his face. “Actually, I know that all along…
“I knew it…
“The Empire of Dayan is too overbearing and unreasonable for its own good. They’re used to being the ruler, and of course, they don’t want other forces to rise.
“The Junwu Empire has Junjun, you, and Master Linghu… Of course, the Dayan Empire doesn’t like that.
“What centennial tribute? They’re just exploiting us over and over again.” Feng Wu was confused. “Over and over again?
“That’s right!” Emperor Wu said solemnly. “The Dayan Empire comes here every 100 years and chooses a country to take away the most capable cultivators. They do it one at a time. Therefore, the continent of Jiuzhou has been neither strong nor weak for the past 1000 years. If the talented people hadn’t been taken away, we might have been as powerful as the Dayan Empire now! This time, they’ve chosen the Junwu Empire.”
Feng Wu said solemnly, “They’ve gone too far!”
Emperor Wu sat on the ground and said bitterly, “Not only are we being targeted by the Empire of Dayan, but there are other eight kingdoms as well!”
Emperor Wu stared at Feng Wu and stressed each word. “The Dayan Empire will never do it themselves. They’ll support the proxy state so that it can fight for them.
“As for the rest of the kingdoms, they can either sit by and watch, or join the other kingdoms and work together against the Junwu Empire.”
At that thought, Emperor Wu frowned. Things were getting out of hand for the Junwu Empire.
Feng Wu immediately said, “Don’t worry. I can’t say about other countries, but at least the Northern Yan Kingdom won’t be our enemy.”
She didn’t waste the past three months. She had found her sixth senior brother and made a reliable ally for the Junwu Empire.
Emperor Wu was confused. “Why?”
Of course, Feng Wu couldn’t say that the pillar of the Northern Yan Kingdom was her Sixth Senior Brother, but she said affirmatively, “Don’t worry. If you need an ally letter, I’ll go get it.”
Seeing how confident Feng Wu was, Emperor Wu couldn’t help but relax a little. “If we can form an alliance, then when we take care of the Empire of
Dayan…”
Feng Wu said indifferently, “Master Linghu said that even if the continent of Jiuzhou can form an alliance, we’ll only be a tenth of the strength of the Dayan Empire.”
Moreover, they still had the Dongsang Kingdom to fight.
Recalling her purpose here, Feng Wu told Emperor Wu, “Your Majesty, I need to go to the Dongsang Kingdom.”
“No!” Emperor Wu refused. “Nonsense! Don’t you know that the Dongsang Kingdom is fighting us in the Peace Gra.s.sland? They’ll catch you and skin you alive if you go there! No! You can’t go!”
Feng Wu only smiled at him.
She was here to take her leave, not to hear Emperor Wu’s opinion.
Emperor Wu probably knew how grumpy Feng Wu could be. Seeing her gentle smile, he knew that he wouldn’t be able to persuade her.
Emperor Wu said in resignation, “Where are you going? I’ll send someone to escort you…”
“Green Emperor City.”
It was the capital of the Dongsang Kingdom.
Emperor Wu stopped abruptly.
“You’re going to Green Emperor City? Why? Do you have any idea how dangerous it is?!!!” Emperor Wu bellowed at Feng Wu. “Do you have a death wish?!”
The last time when Feng Wu almost died, Emperor Wu was already scared out of his wits. Now that Feng Wu was trying to scare him like this, he was furious.
Feng Wu smiled. “I’ll go to the Dongsang Kingdom and ask for an alliance letter. How about we form an alliance with them? Otherwise, we won’t be able to defeat the Dayan Empire. An alliance will give us a chance.” Although it was only a very slim chance.
Emperor Wu stared at Feng Wu instead.
“What are you talking about?
“Of course, I know the benefits of forming an alliance. If I can do that, of course, it’ll be great. Is that possible? Can I?
“We’ve been enemies with the Dongsang Kingdom for generations, and we want to kill each other as soon as we meet.
“Plus, do you think the people of the Dayan Empire are idiots? Princess Yan Ling is very smart. If I’m guessing right, they’ve chosen the Dongsang Kingdom as their proxy this time.
“Many of the ancient technologies of the Dongsang Kingdom were given by the Dayan Empire when they had more advanced versions.
“But look, all their outdated technologies are so powerful. This time, this time… ”
The more Emperor Wu said, the more pained he became.
Looking at Emperor Wu, Feng Wu suddenly walked up to the desk and started writing.
“What are you writing?” Emperor Wu asked.
“It’s a promise,” said Feng Wu. “I have to get that letter from the Dongsang Kingdom.”
“Nonsense.” Emperor Wu threw a dirty look at Feng Wu and poked her in the head. ‘Wake up, kiddo. Stop daydreaming. If you can get the letter of alliance from the Dongsang Kingdom, I’ll make you the emperor! ”
Feng Wu asked, “Are you sure?”
Emperor Wu said, “Of course!”
Feng Wu said, “Fine! Sign it!”
Emperor Wu asked, “What?”
Feng Wu quickly wrote down a bet and handed it to Emperor Wu. “If I can get an agreement from the Dongsang Kingdom, you’ll owe me the throne. I can take it whenever I want. Will you sign it?”
Emperor Wu said, “So be it. You won’t get that letter.”
Seeing that Emperor Wu had signed the agreement, Feng Wu carefully put it away and hid it in her ring s.p.a.ce so that it wouldn’t get wet.
Feng Wu was worried about one thing, but with the bet, she didn’t have to worry about what would happen next.
What Emperor Wu didn’t know was that Feng Wu was so smart that she had set him up in such a short time. If he knew what she did, he would be furious.
After bidding Emperor Wu farewell, Feng Wu hurried back to the Feng clan.
Time was of the essence here, so Feng Wu didn’t linger in the Feng manor. She immediately set out for the Peace Gra.s.sland.
The shortest route to the Dongsang Kingdom was through the Peace Gra.s.sland.
Moreover, Feng Wu could enter the Peace Gra.s.sland through the portal.
Feng Wu had at least three plans for the Dongsang Kingdom this time.
The second one was the letter of alliance, which involved Emperor Wu’s throne.
The third was her third senior brother and the third broken star piece.
Taking a deep breath, Feng Wu stepped into the portal.
Before long, she arrived with a ding.
The Peace Gra.s.sland was right outside the portal.
As soon as Feng Wu left the Peace Gra.s.sland, she heard panicked shouts a short distance away.
“Dodge! Dodge! Get into the cover!”
“Don’t go inside! Get out! Now!”
“They’re going to bomb us! Everyone, get out! Find cover and split up!”
Feng Wu paled when she heard the hasty voices.
Feng Wu recognized that voice.
If she remembered it correctly, it was Ying Yuan.
Feng Wu had been on his team before, so she could recognize his voice.
Feng Wu rushed over and grabbed Ying Yuan.
Caught off guard, Ying Yuan was caught by Feng Wu and he cried out, “Who are you? You… Ah! Feng Wu!”
