Several days later, a secret message from the Yunxia Sect was delivered to the central imperial capital of the Great Yu Kingdom.
Within the imperial forbidden zone, deep inside a hidden minor realm, an aged, irate voice echoed through the space:
"Just a mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, yet so full of himself. Daring to waver back and forth, raising his price while sitting on the fence! Does he truly think our Great Yu Imperial Clan is some run-of-the-mill Nascent Soul power, incapable of dealing with him?"
"Cough cough... Patriarch, please quell your anger!"
A middle-aged scholar in green robes, with a sickly complexion, wearing a square scarf and wooden clogs, bowed and reported respectfully.
If Lan Chang'an were here, he would recognize this green-robed man as none other than the Imperial Clan’s mysterious Nascent Soul cultivator, True Monarch Iron Calculation.
This fourth-rank divination grandmaster of the imperial family rarely appeared in public. Years ago, he had made an exception to attend Xiang Dalong’s Nascent Soul ascension ceremony.
Currently, as the Great Yu Kingdom wages war against the northern Great Luo Kingdom and the Yu Emperor is absent from the country, many of Great Yu’s key strategies are being handled by True Monarch Iron Calculation.
What Xiang Dalong had sent was not a private message, but solid evidence of Yaqi Mountain and Great Luo Kingdom attempting to win him over, along with the lavish terms offered.
By tossing this treacherous letter to the Imperial Clan, Xiang Dalong feigned sincerity, but his true intentions were not hard to discern. No wonder the clan patriarch was so enraged.
For a top-tier hegemonic force in the Central Region, what early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would dare extort the Imperial Clan?
