The capital of the Qin Dynasty.

Royal study room.

Emperor Qin Changqing of Daxing and Prince Qin Changliu of An were discussing matters here.

"My elder brother and his men are advancing with unstoppable momentum and have already besieged the capital of the Great Chu Dynasty. However, before that, Emperor Qian Yuan summoned all the troops in the land to the capital, so it will probably not be so easy to break through!"

Qin Changliu asked, "Should we send reinforcements?"

Qin Changqing shook his head. "Our Qin army is full of elite troops, and we don't need reinforcements. The most important thing to do right now is to ask our ancestor to come out of seclusion."

"That's true." Qin Changliu nodded.

It should be noted that while a top-tier master never makes a move lightly, that applies to ordinary situations.

Now, the Great Chu Dynasty is facing a life-or-death crisis, and the top-ranking experts of the Great Chu Dynasty will definitely take action.

And they will stop at nothing to take action!

"Second Brother, you also need to leave some people to defend your side," Qin Changliu said. "If anything happens to you, it will be a big problem."

"I know." Qin Changqing nodded. "But it's nothing. If something happens to me, then let my sixth brother ascend the throne."

“Uh…” Qin Changliu was somewhat taken aback.

Qin Changqing remained calm.

If Qin Changqing is killed by a first-rank official of the Great Chu Dynasty, then the world will surely be in chaos. At that time, there will be no one else besides Qin Changge who can stabilize the situation of the Great Qin Dynasty.

"Let's go."

Qin Changqing led Qin Changliu to the back mountain of the palace.

"Emperor Qin Changqing of the Great Xing Dynasty requests an audience with the Ancestor!" Qin Changqing's voice rang out.

Before long, an old man appeared in front of Qin Changqing and Qin Changliu.

This person was none other than Qin Changqing's uncle, Qin Canglan.

"Greetings, Uncle," Qin Changqing said, clasping his hands in greeting.

"Hmm." Qin Canglan nodded. "You're much more accomplished than your father. Unifying the world is an unprecedented achievement."

"I dare not take credit," Qin Changqing said. "It's all thanks to my father's solid foundation."

"Hmm." Qin Canglan was even more pleased. He was neither arrogant nor impatient; he truly was a great emperor.

"What are your thoughts?" Qin Canglan asked.

"Please ask Uncle to go to the front line to oversee the battle and fight against the enemy's first-rank expert," Qin Changqing said. "On our side, Elder Yan Guzhou of the Qingyun Sword Sect will also be dispatched."

"How can two be enough for a war that destroys a nation?" Qin Canglan shook his head. "Brother, let's go together."

"it is good!"

At this moment, another figure appeared on the back mountain of the palace.

This person was Qin Canglan's elder brother, Qin Canghai.

"Greetings, Uncle." Qin Changqing and Qin Changliu both bowed respectfully.

Qin Canghai and the other person nodded.

"There is one last ancestor on the back mountain, someone I have to call ancestor. He won't take action unless absolutely necessary. Don't worry, no one will dare to assassinate him in the palace," Qin Canglan said.

"Yes." Qin Changqing nodded.

……

……

The capital of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Royal study room.

Emperor Qianyuan looked at these important court officials and said with a gloomy face, "Now that the Qin army is at our gates, what do you suggest we do?"

Several high-ranking officials in the court were at a loss for words.

It was quite unexpected that the Qin army would attack this time.

Although troops from various states were mobilized immediately to reinforce the capital, this also led to the fall of Shazhou, leaving the capital without its last line of defense.

Although the Great Chu still has four provinces left, if the capital is lost, these four provinces will have no chance of existing.

"Your Majesty, how about we move the capital?" Qiu Fentian, the Minister of Rites, suggested.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qianyuan frowned and stared at Qiu Fentian. "The capital is the most fortified city in Great Chu. Where else can we move it? Where else can we move it without being attacked?"

Qiu Fentian fell silent.

Everyone else kept quiet.

We can't just ask Emperor Qianyuan to surrender.

Although these ministers all hoped to surrender, since they would still retain their high positions and generous salaries, Emperor Qianyuan would never surrender.

"Your Majesty, perhaps we should ask the Ancestor to take action?" Qiu Fentian asked Emperor Qian Yuan.

Right now, we can only hope that a top-tier expert will step in and turn the tide.

Although the Qin Dynasty also had a first-rank official. "Alright," Emperor Qian Yuan said without hesitation.

Now that the Great Chu is at a critical juncture of life and death, it is a foregone conclusion that the Ancestor should be invited to come out of seclusion.

In fact, the Great Chu had faced sieges before, but the First Ancestor had always stabilized the situation, allowing the Great Chu dynasty to continue.

To put it bluntly, the hundreds of thousands of troops that fought before were actually a piece of cake.

If we remain undefeated, we will never lose our empire!

Despite the Qin Dynasty's army being at the gates, if the First Ancestor were to take action and eliminate the opposing commander, the Qin army would immediately fall into chaos and collapse without a fight.

……

The Great Chu Dynasty, behind the imperial palace.

When Emperor Qian Yuan arrived, he respectfully called out, "This unworthy descendant, Chu Qingfeng, begs his ancestor to come out of seclusion and save the country!"

The next moment, an old man appeared on the back mountain of the palace. He was dressed in white robes, with white hair and white eyebrows. This man was none other than Chu Guixue, the first-rank ancestor of the Great Chu Dynasty.

"Great-grandfather, what about the other ancestors..." Emperor Qian Yuan, Chu Qingfeng, looked at Chu Guixue in front of him with some hesitation.

Chu Guixue calmly said, "They have all passed away peacefully."

"This..." Emperor Qian Yuan, Chu Qingfeng, stared wide-eyed.

If a first-grade master cannot break through to the super grade and successfully ascend, then it is quite normal for their condition to decline and they to eventually pass away.

However, the current situation is that their Great Chu Dynasty is facing a life-or-death crisis, and as a result, there is only one top-level expert left who is the pillar of stability.

"Surrender." Chu Guixue said calmly. He had been an emperor before, but it had been a long time, and now he had come to terms with many things.

"This..." Emperor Qian Yuan, Chu Qingfeng, was somewhat taken aback.

Chu Guixue calmly replied, "If Great Chu still has the strength to fight, would I not take action?"

"The world will belong to Qin; this is the will of Heaven," Chu Guixue shook her head. "The will of Heaven is hard to defy!"

"Ancestor, there are still several First-Rank officials within the territory of our Great Chu. I wonder if it is possible..." Emperor Qian Yuan asked, unwilling to give up.

"It's already good enough that they didn't kick us when we're down," Chu Guixue sighed as she looked at Emperor Qianyuan.

The Great Chu royal family is indeed suffering from a lack of talent; even Emperor Qian Yuan, as an emperor, is so naive.

At this moment, a sudden voice rang out.

"Chu Kuanglan, come out and fight!" Qin Canglan's voice resounded throughout the entire capital of the Great Chu.

Chu Guixue and Emperor Qianyuan both changed their expressions at the same time.

"Ancestor, they've attacked!" Emperor Qian Yuan said in a panic.

Chu Guixue said with a solemn expression, "It seems that surrendering is no longer an option."

Chu Guixue took to the air and flew towards the direction from which Qin Canglan's voice came.

Emperor Qian Yuan looked extremely anxious. If Chu Guixue lost, then their Great Chu would be finished.

……

high in the air.

Qin Canglan, Qin Canghai, and Yan Guzhou, all of the highest rank, arrived together.

Chu Guixue faced three First-Rank Officials alone.

"Chu Guixue, why are you alone? Where is Chu Kuanglan?" Qin Canglan asked.

Chu Guixue said, "He has passed away peacefully."

Upon hearing this, Qin Canglan, Qin Canghai, and Yan Guzhou were all somewhat surprised.

Although top-tier masters are subject to the principle of "if you don't advance, you'll fall behind" and still have a limited lifespan, they can generally live to be over two hundred years old.

Chu Kuanglan is clearly not yet past the end of his life.

"He failed to break through, suffered from injuries and illnesses, and passed away prematurely," Chu Guixue explained.

Qin Canglan and the other two were somewhat surprised to hear this. Chu Guixue had actually explained it to them.

"Would you like to surrender and have the lives of my Great Chu royal family spared?" Chu Guixue asked.

"no!"

Qin Canglan shook his head. "You know that's impossible."

Chu Guixue sighed, then turned and left.

Qin Canglan, Qin Canghai, and Yan Guzhou were all taken aback by what they saw.

"You're just leaving?"

Chu Guixue said calmly, "If I can't beat you, am I just supposed to run away and wait to die?"

Qin Canglan and the other two looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

Emperor Qianyuan was watching the battle from a distance when he saw Chu Guixue flee, and he stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Ancestor, you can't leave!"

"Even if you're leaving, take me with you!"
