"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened..."

Hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.

The eunuch entered the main hall and knelt down with a thud.

"Damn lackey!"

"Guards, drag this bastard out and tear him apart with five horses!"

Soldiers immediately came forward, grabbed the person, and carried him out of the hall.

The man was terrified and immediately begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me... Something has happened to the Imperial Advisor..."

The Emperor's expression changed drastically. "Wait a minute!"

The soldiers who were carrying the person out immediately stopped and released them.

The man looked as if he had just escaped death; his back was soaked with sweat, and he was panting heavily.

"The Imperial Preceptor's soul lamp... has gone out!"

"What did you say?"

The Emperor stood up from his throne, his face showing not only anger but also disbelief.

"You dog slave, who gave you the audacity to curse the Imperial Preceptor?"

The Imperial Preceptor is a deity descended from the Heavenly Mountain. Unless he suffers a backlash, no one in the world can harm him, let alone have his soul lamp extinguished.

"Your Majesty, what I said is true."

"The Imperial Preceptor's work of guarding the Soul Lamp has always been that of a servant, and the Soul Lamp had been running smoothly until now."

"Three days ago, the soul lamp gradually brightened, but last night it suddenly started to sway."

"Just now... completely wiped out."

The Emperor did not believe the eunuch's words at all; his heart sank to the bottom, and his face turned ashen.

"Guards, proceed to the Star Gazing Tower immediately! I need to know the actual situation right away!"

The palace servants who went to the observatory had not yet returned when another palace servant hurriedly entered the main hall.

"Your Majesty, bad news has come from Nanyao: Princess Zibing's identity has been exposed!"

"what?"

The Emperor's heart sank once again. Zi Bing was his most prized child, without exception.

After deciding to restart the plan to change countries, Zi Bing volunteered to go to Nan Yao.

She was a clever girl, and it didn't take much effort for her to successfully become a physician and serve by the King of Qin's side.

Before leaving Dongying, Zibing vowed to find a way to marry the King of Qin, abandon her father and keep her son, so that she could rightfully inherit the throne of Nanyao.

If this plan succeeds, Japan will be able to take over Nanyao without losing a single soldier.

The unification of the world by the Great Japanese Empire is just around the corner.

“More than a month ago, all of our Japanese strongholds in the capital of Nanyao were wiped out.”

"The Grand Preceptor's divination array set up at the Jokhang Temple has been broken!"

The Emperor casually picked up a cup and smashed it on the ground. "Why is this news, which is from over a month ago, only being reported now?"

The Grand Array for Seizing Fortune, which was crucial to whether Japan could unify the world, was broken!

Damn it!

Those who break through the formation deserve to be torn to pieces!

The man trembled, “...News from Nanyao couldn’t be transmitted in time.”

"waste!"

The Emperor's face was extremely grim. "Even if the news from Nanyao can't get out, doesn't anyone on our side notice anything amiss?"

"This servant...this servant does not know..."

"Useless trash! What use are you to me?"

wrong!

With the Grand Array of Fortune-Seizing Broken, the Imperial Advisor is bound to suffer a backlash!

But he kept it a secret!

The Emperor squinted, his expression shifting repeatedly.

At this moment, the palace servant who had been sent to the Star Gazing Tower to confirm the situation returned. "Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor's soul lamp has indeed been extinguished!"

It's true!

The Emperor slumped back onto his throne, his face alternating between ashen and pale.

When the soul lamp goes out, the true body dies.

But how is this possible?

The Imperial Preceptor is an immortal from the Nine Heavens, how could he be in such a predicament so easily?

The Emperor was lost in thought, his face ashen.

I really can't figure out why this is happening.

When the Imperial Preceptor first arrived in Japan, his soul was unstable and he needed to absorb living souls to stabilize it.

He was happy to see it happen.

The loss of a few worthless lives in exchange for the restoration of the Imperial Preceptor's boundless magical power, which would help him and his father unify the world, is an unparalleled honor.

In fact, the imperial advisor did not disappoint him.

The Grand Preceptor secretly set up an array in Nanyao, diverting a large amount of dragon energy to Dongying, causing Dongying's strength to increase by leaps and bounds.

But he didn't understand why the Imperial Advisor had suddenly stopped Japan from declaring war on Nan Yao seven years ago.

The previous emperor ignored the advice of the national advisor and insisted on sending troops to Nanyao, but died suddenly on the day the troops were to be sent.

The current emperor knows that his father's sudden death was inextricably linked to the Imperial Advisor.

He could not criticize the Imperial Preceptor, nor did he dare to disobey the Imperial Preceptor's wishes.

The Emperor's attitude towards the Imperial Advisor was complex; he both feared the Advisor's immense power and needed his help to achieve his goals.

"Your Majesty, shall we continue this war?"

What's the point of fighting?

They only just received the news that Nan Yao's hideout had been wiped out. The fact that Nan Yao was able to keep the news under wraps shows that his true strength is even greater than they imagined.

The Imperial Advisor was their greatest asset, but now that he's dead, what can they use to fight back?

Suddenly remembering something, the Emperor asked urgently, "Has the War God Qin King of Nanyao been found?"

Even if the Grand Preceptor is dead, if the King of Qin falls into the hands of his own people, the chances of winning the attack on Nan Yao are still very high. In that case, the Grand Preceptor's death can be considered worthwhile.

What I fear most is that the Grand Tutor will die at the hands of the King of Qin!

At this moment, another palace servant rushed into the hall, saying, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has fainted."

Why is she getting involved at this time?

The Emperor frowned. "What's going on?"

"The Queen heard the news of Madam Chen's accident, and also..."

The Madam Chen mentioned by the eunuch is the younger sister of the Empress of Japan, and is none other than Madam Lin, Chen Qianru, the former mistress of the Duke's Mansion in Nanyao Kingdom.

They only knew that Chen Qianru's identity had been exposed, but they did not know that she had been poisoned with the "soft bone powder" and then died on the altar at Dongji Ridge.

"What else?" The Emperor's impatience became increasingly apparent.

"And Prince Ning, His Highness stole the military tally and has already led his troops to Nan Yao. Her Majesty just received the news..."

"idiot!"

The Emperor reached out to grab something to smash it, only to find that there was nothing at hand.

Suddenly remembering something, he spoke again: "Zi Bing's identity has been exposed, but has Qing Lan's identity as Princess Qing Lan been exposed?"

If Qinglan's identity had not been exposed, and with the King of Qin in their grasp, their chances of winning would have been even greater.

The Qinglan mentioned by the Emperor is his younger sister, Princess Qinglan, who is also Consort Luo, the concubine of Emperor Tianchen of Nanyao Kingdom.

The eunuch swallowed hard before forcing himself to say, "Princess Qinglan had her accident even earlier than Princess Zibing..."

The Emperor's expression darkened further. Suddenly remembering something, he said urgently, "Someone, convey my decree: summon Prince Ning back immediately!"

……

It is located 300 li outside the sea at Dongji Ridge.

The Japanese warships were lined up in a row, but they remained stationary on the water and did not move forward.

Cang Jinyu stood on the bow deck, gazing into the direction of Nan Yao Kingdom.

The Grand Tutor had said that troops should only be dispatched after receiving his instructions, so he ordered his men to remain here, which was not considered a violation of the Grand Tutor's instructions.

He had been waiting there for three whole days and still hadn't received any message from the Imperial Preceptor, so he was getting a little anxious.

Cang Jinyu didn't see Shen Wanwan and the others flying on their swords after falling from the sky, but he did see Xiao Zhulong flying into the sky in his golden dragon form.

Because of the great distance, the golden dragon's figure was blurry, but the golden light was clearly visible.

When he saw the golden dragon soaring into the clouds, his eyes widened in disbelief.

There really are dragons in the world!

The Imperial Advisor once said that the prosperity of the Southern Yao Kingdom was solely due to the presence of the true dragon's aura.

Sending that true dragon's energy to Japan can help Japan succeed.
