"It's unexpected that the Nine Heavens Dynasty has fallen to such a state."
The Ancestor's expression was indifferent as he looked at the Nine Heavens Emperor, "You've truly disappointed me."
"Ancestor..."
The Nine Heavens Emperor stood frozen, unsure how to respond, his heart filled with fear.
He had never imagined that the Ancestor of the Nine Heavens Dynasty was not yet deceased, nor did he know how many years he had lived. Even for a spirit cultivator, such a long lifespan was unfathomable.
"Truly useless!"
The Nine Heavens Ancestor's expression remained cold as he looked at the many generals of the Nine Heavens Dynasty, "You all, do not set up defenses. Let them all gather in the Imperial City, and we shall annihilate them all together!"
"Annihilate them all together?"
Grand Tutor Wen was startled and his heart grew even more fearful, "Ancestor, this matter is no small thing. If there is the slightest mishap, I fear the Imperial City will fall!"
"What, does what I say no longer hold weight?"
The Ancestor's gaze was icy as he looked at Grand Tutor Wen.
"Of course not, of course not!"
Grand Tutor Wen quickly shook his head, his heart trembling. The person before him was the Ancestor of the Nine Heavens Dynasty. Let alone him, even the Nine Heavens Emperor would not dare to offend such a person lightly.
"Since you dare not, then do as I say!"
The Nine Heavens Ancestor said coldly, "Once they enter, I will capture them all in one fell swoop!"
"Ancestor, things may not be that simple!"
The Nine Heavens Emperor spoke directly, "The White Dragon Dynasty is teeming with experts. If they all enter the Imperial City, it will surely cause a great stir!"
"What, does even my words no longer have power?"
The Ancestor's expression was cold, and he spoke derisively, "As long as they dare to enter the Imperial City, I can ensure they will never return!"
"That would be for the best!"
The Nine Heavens Emperor quickly nodded, not daring to say another word. He knew that if he spoke out of turn again, the Ancestor would not let him off easily.
As for whether the Ancestor truly possessed such strength, the Nine Heavens Emperor was also perplexed. After all, to him, this seemed like an impossible feat.
Not long after, Lu Fan and his group arrived at the foot of the Imperial City. In just half a day, they would be able to enter the Imperial City directly.
"I truly never imagined that conquering the Nine Heavens Dynasty would be so easy!"
Princess Linglong laughed, "Everything has gone so smoothly!"
"This is all thanks to the Imperial Son-in-Law!"
Li Guang spoke out, "If not for the Imperial Son-in-Law slaying Prince Guangling, things would not have been this simple!"
"That's true enough!"
Princess Linglong nodded with satisfaction, "In this northern expedition, the Imperial Son-in-Law deserves the greatest merit!"
"That's only natural!"
Lin Guoping laughed, "Without the Imperial Son-in-Law, the White Dragon Dynasty would have been destroyed!"
"Don't speak such nonsense!"
Princess Linglong shot him a glare, "If my father hears this, it won't be good!"
"What's not good about it!"
Dragon Emperor strode forward, smiling, "If not for the Imperial Son-in-Law, the White Dragon Dynasty would have been in grave danger. This is simply the truth. Are you afraid that Father will blame the Imperial Son-in-Law?"
"As the saying goes, great merit can overshadow the ruler."
Princess Linglong said helplessly, "I don't want anything to happen to my Imperial Son-in-Law!"
"You girl, what are you talking about!"
Dragon Emperor gave her a look, "The Imperial Son-in-Law is no ordinary person. Furthermore, if the White Dragon Dynasty is to be handed over to him, where does the saying 'great merit can overshadow the ruler' come into play!"
Everyone present was startled. They had not expected Dragon Emperor to be so direct.
"Father, don't reveal yourself so soon!"
Princess Linglong whispered, "If the Imperial Son-in-Law hears this, what if he doesn't treat me well in the future!"
"Don't worry, if the Imperial Son-in-Law doesn't treat you well, I will teach him a good lesson!" Dragon Emperor laughed, showing a hint of indulgence.
"I don't want that!" Princess Linglong shook her head, "How could the Imperial Son-in-Law treat me badly? Father, you don't need to worry!"
"Dragon Emperor, the Imperial City is just ahead!"
Li Guang pointed forward, his expression filled with excitement. They had reached the Imperial City of the Nine Heavens Dynasty, a great military achievement, and an immortal deed.
"Enter the Imperial City and capture the Nine Heavens Emperor alive!"
Dragon Emperor gave the order, his voice filled with heroic spirit. The Nine Heavens Dynasty's power had waned, and it was now at its last gasp.
"Dragon Emperor, the situation within the city is unclear!"
Lu Fan spoke out, "We cannot let the army charge in rashly!"
"Why?"
Dragon Emperor looked suspicious. This was the best time. The Imperial City should have no defenses, but he did not understand Lu Fan's words.
"I sense a threat!"
Lu Fan said solemnly, "And it is very dangerous. If we rashly enter the Imperial City, we might risk our lives!"
"Imperial Son-in-Law, don't scare us!"
Li Guang spoke out, "If that is truly the case, then entering this Nine Heavens Imperial City would be a death trap!"
"Imperial Son-in-Law, is there truly a threat?"
Manager Li spoke, "Why do I not sense it?"
"I don't sense it either!"
The Nine Heavens Emperor nodded, his brow furrowed. Lu Fan's words gave him pause.
"Do any of you know if there is anyone else in the Nine Heavens Dynasty, besides the Nine Heavens Emperor, who has reached the Heavenly Venerate realm?" Lu Fan asked again.
"Besides him, there should be no one else!"
Liu Qianjiao spoke, "Could it be that you sensed an aura stronger than the Nine Heavens Emperor?"
"That's right!"
Lu Fan nodded, not hiding anything at all.
"Impossible!" Su Dan Novel Network
Dragon Emperor shook his head, "As a Heavenly Venerate, if there were truly other experts in this Imperial City, I should be able to sense them!"
Lu Fan felt a moment of awkwardness. He hadn't actually sensed a terrifying aura, but the elder Hong Meng had secretly transmitted a message that there was an unparalleled expert in the Imperial City, and he had no choice but to believe it.
After all, this was no small matter. If there was the slightest mistake, the people of the White Dragon Dynasty could all lose their lives.
"There must be an expert hidden within the Imperial City!"
Lu Fan spoke again, "I hope Dragon Emperor will reconsider and not enter rashly!"
"If there were truly an expert, even if we hadn't entered, he would have killed his way out by now!"
Dragon Emperor waved his hand, his words appearing indifferent, as if everything in his eyes was peaceful.
"Is there a possibility that this person can only exist within the Imperial City and cannot step outside?"
Lu Fan wondered. Even he was unsure, but for some reason, he felt very worried.
"Absolutely not!"
Dragon Emperor waved his hand, "Listen, everyone! Follow me into the Imperial City!"
The generals of the White Dragon Dynasty cheered with joy. Once they entered the Imperial City, they would have completely conquered the Nine Heavens Dynasty. In this way, their campaign would be over.
Seeing that he could not stop them, Lu Fan felt a sense of helplessness. It was a pity that he could not confirm whether the aura within the Imperial City belonged to a supreme being, otherwise, he would have tried his best to stop them.
"Imperial Son-in-Law, don't worry, it will be alright!"
Princess Linglong laughed, "With so many experts from the White Dragon Dynasty here, even if there are strong individuals, we are not afraid!"
Lu Fan gave an awkward smile, feeling somewhat helpless. Someone he called an expert would surely not be ordinary. How could they not understand this point?
