Chapter 325: The Majesty of the Qin Emperor
Even with the Imperial Dynasty standing behind the Righteous Alliance, they still didn’t want to hand over Guarding Slaughter City on a silver platter.
"With His Majesty’s temperament..." Bai Qi suddenly mused, his words causing a stir among the crowd.
Indeed, Qin Jun was known to fear neither heaven nor earth, so how could he possibly surrender Sha City?
You Fenghuang also came to a sudden realization; if she lost Sha City while in her charge, Qin Jun would surely become enraged. It reminded her of the past when facing the Nanzhuo Dynasty. The gap between Qin Jun and the dynasty back then was very similar to the current situation with the Righteous Alliance – at least now, they were only facing the Righteous Alliance and not the Imperial Dynasty directly.
"The Sacred Emperor has already reached out to Great Qin Kingdom. Presumably, if we pretend to be unaware and occupy Guarding Slaughter City, the Sacred Emperor will not blame us," Liu Bowen stroked his chin, pondering, prompting nods from others.
Having reached a conclusion, everyone relaxed.
At this moment, a disciple from the Netherworld Holy Sect rushed in hurriedly.
"Report! The Righteous Alliance’s attack on the Netherworld Iron Pagoda has failed!"
As soon as these words were uttered, the entire hall erupted into commotion, with You Fenghuang standing up abruptly, asking, "How is that possible? Were there reinforcements?"
Chen Lian had already sought her help, but with Qin Jun away, she was helpless. It was impossible for Liu Bowen, Li Cunxiao, and Bai Qi to lead troops to rescue the Netherworld Holy Sect; these three only took orders from Qin Jun.
They would agree to carry out normal tasks, but they wouldn’t help with mobilizing the celestial guards.
