Chapter 10: Attacking the Great Wei_1
Among the Six Nations, the Great Wei Empire was undoubtedly the most terrified. They were closest to Hangu Pass; once the Qin army crossed the plains, they could reach Great Wei’s border.
Ye City, the capital of the Great Wei Empire, had once been bustling and prosperous. But with news of the defeat at Hangu Pass spreading, the city had long been filled with fear, losing its former prosperity and shrouded in gloom.
In the vast and imposing imperial palace, the Emperor of Wei summoned his court officials to discuss strategies. Every face revealed worry, a stark contrast to their usual calm and composed demeanor.
"A report from the frontline states the Qin army is camped outside Anyi Pass and may attack at any moment. My dear ministers, do any of you have a sound strategy to repel them?"
Dressed in imperial robes and seated on the throne, the Emperor of Wei asked gravely. His words immediately made the atmosphere in the palace freeze, like a God Mountain pressing down on everyone’s heart, incredibly heavy.
Although the Six Nations were not as powerful as the Six Major Sects, they had managed to rule vast territories, maintain legacies for over a hundred thousand years, and command countless martial artists. They naturally had their own unique advantages. For instance, the ministers in the court had all reached the Cave Heaven Stage. Those at the third rank and above possessed Nirvana Realm strength, and the few ministers standing at the very front exuded an extraordinary aura. Of course, the strongest among them was the Emperor of Wei, a Sky Stage martial artist. Furthermore, the Great Wei Empire also had several slumbering ancestors—powerful experts from past generations.
"Your Majesty, although the Qin Empire is undoubtedly strong, it also faces significant latent crises!"
"The Qin Emperor broke through to the Saint Realm and killed the experts of the Six Major Sects. Furthermore, Qin Wudao annihilated the prodigies of various sects outside Hangu Pass, especially Chu Jiangqiong. This action undoubtedly touched the reverse scale of the Six Sects. Before long, the Six Major Sects will awaken their slumbering Founding Ancestors and attack the Qin Empire again!"
"Therefore, we need only gather all our heavy troops, defend Anyi Pass to the death, and wait for the Founding Ancestors of the Six Major Sects to awaken. The Qin army will then collapse on its own!"
After a period of silence, Prime Minister Gongsun Yan clasped his hands, his expression extremely solemn as he gravely delivered these words.
