Chapter 817: Chapter 511 Ye

For Di’an City, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

Although the person who planned everything already knew from the moment the Xi’en Emperor died, tonight everything would return to dust, that didn’t mean others were aware of this fact.

It was the first time in over a thousand years since the founding of the Dayan Empire that the Imperial capital faced a crisis of collapse.

Everything needed to be thoroughly investigated.

The Imperial City Forbidden Army that had marched out, the various Sky Patrollers from the Bureau of Supervision, and the Demonic Beast troops from the City Defense Office, belatedly imposed martial law on every street.

It wasn’t that they were slow to react, but rather that the earth-shattering battle above the Sky Dome had ended too quickly.

Like a meteor streaking across the sky.

Brilliant, but brief.

Yet Xu Yuan was unaware of all these external happenings.

Because Lou Ji had cut off his "wifi."

The moment his Will-spirit link was severed, Xu Yuan’s vision, which seemed omniscient and omnipotent, immediately disappeared.

Silently looking at the sword aura that still stretched across the Sky Dome, Xu Yuan’s eyes carried a trace of complexity.

The sights of tonight had greatly shocked him.

As an Integration Body strong enough to have once slain a Saint, Xu Yuan realized for the first time a reality:

Even among Saints, there were disparities.

If he, with his Ghoul body, were placed in tonight’s battle circle, he likely wouldn’t last three breaths before explosively dying.

The Barbarian King?

Merely a disgrace among Saints.

Thinking this, Xu Yuan shook his head slightly.

After all, despite the Barbarian King being a boss in the "Cangyuan Chronicles" that was not too difficult, but averaged out, the reason he and Li Qingyan managed to slay him was probably because he had just Broken Boundary.

"What are you dazing off for?"

His thoughts were interrupted by a slightly reproachful voice.

Xu Yuan looked up and saw a fair, jade-like hand had already reached his forehead.

Lou Ji bent her finger and with a crisp ’pop,’ Xu Yuan fell onto the ground, seated.

Rubbing his aching brow, Xu Yuan was about to complain when he saw Lou Ji huff softly and turn to leave.

Her slender waist swayed, the light veil trailing along her ample curves.

Xu Yuan hastily got up and dusted off his clothes, hurriedly following her. While walking, he quietly asked,

"Sis, did you see that last sword strike clearly?"

He hadn’t been able to see through Lou Ji’s perspective how their uncle had executed that final sword strike, and wanted to inquire.

Lou Ji glanced sideways with her rosy almond-shaped eyes, and casually replied,

"What I saw, you saw too."

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, then softly said,

"With different realms, even if the perspective is the same, the understanding of what is seen should be different, right?"

After a brief silence, Lou Ji gave a light laugh,

"I couldn’t see it clearly."

"Ah?" Xu Yuan was surprised, "You couldn’t see it either?"

Lou Ji sighed softly,

"If I could have seen Feng Jiuxuan’s last sword strike clearly, that would mean I had a high chance of dodging it. Unless I could Break Saint, there’s no way I could see that sword of Feng Jiuxuan’s clearly."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan suddenly became silent.

He thought of the internal injury his older sister had suffered because of him, which prevented her from Breaking Saint.

Lou Ji, with her delicate emotions, keenly sensed the mood of the young man beside her and patted his head,

"I’m not obsessed with martial arts. Having enough cultivation is just fine.

"Alright, your uncle’s matter is finished, but tonight has just begun."

"Um..."

Xu Yuan responded softly, suppressing the tumult of his heart for the moment.

Returning his thoughts back on track, Xu Yuan carefully chose his words and softly said,

"Sis, tonight’s events have slightly gone beyond our control."

Xu Yuan’s words were very tactful.

It wasn’t just slightly.

The moment the golden Saint blood formed that curse array, the situation had actually completely escaped the control of the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

If Di’an City were to be destroyed, the political ramifications for their father’s grand plans would be catastrophic.

The Xi’en Emperor had come from the Prime Minister’s Mansion, and even if their father, as Prime Minister had great power, he would have to pay the price for this.

This was the rule under the existing framework of power dynamics.

Unless the Prime Minister’s Mansion decided to openly rebel and flip the table, becoming enemies with the whole world, they would have to accept the consequences honestly.

And from what Xu Yuan knew, the Prime Minister’s Mansion was not prepared to be a "King Xuan of Qi" at this stage.

The Prime Minister’s Mansion’s existence was not to be a separatist military force, but more like plant roots infiltrating every aspect of Dayan. This allowed the Prime Minister’s Mansion to grow rapidly and become powerful within decades, but it also meant a large part of its subordinates were tied together through various exchanges of interests.

Once they opposed the whole world, these people were very likely to cut ties with lightning speed.

By then, it would probably become a feast for everyone except the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

And compromise,

It meant that the internal conflicts within The Imperial Court and the Sects would be transformed into external conflicts.

The Dayan Empire would become fully involved in the war in Japan, the investigation into Xi’en would begin, and an expedition would be put on the agenda.

Once these happened, the father’s plans for reform would become indefinitely postponed.

Thinking this, Xu Yuan suddenly felt a sense of relief.

In the timeline in his mind, becoming reality was only a matter of Feng Jiuxuan’s incredible sword strike.

Lou Ji was quiet for a moment, then gently shook her head,

"A setback may turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Remember this lesson."

Humans don’t learn from history, but individuals can.

Xu Yuan let out a quiet sigh,

"After tonight, many people will probably start paying attention to those from Japan."

Lou Ji glanced at Xu Yuan, her voice returning to a relaxed tone,
