Emperor Wu smiled bitterly. “Even if we can’t give in, we still have to. The
Junwu Empire is no match for the Dongsang Kingdom, let alone the Dayan Empire. In order to conserve our strength, I’m afraid we’ll have to change our name to the Junwu Kingdom.
“So be it. As long as we can keep the common people alive, we’ll have to live with it.”
Feng Wu gave the Junwu Empire a sympathetic look until he realized what had happened.
“Kiddo, what’s that look in your eyes? What? Am I wrong?” Emperor Wu looked at Feng Wu in bewilderment.
Feng Wu heaved a long sigh and smiled bitterly. “Even if you want to surrender, it’s not up to you.”
Emperor Wu asked, “What do you mean?
Feng Wu said, “According to Princess Yan Ling, the Dayan Empire wants to destroy the Junwu Empire entirely!”
“What did you say?!” Emperor Wu jumped to his feet and stared at Feng Wu.
“Say that again!”
Staring at Emperor Wu, Feng Wu repeated what she said.
This time, Emperor Wu heard everything.
“No! That’s impossible!” Emperor Wu waved his hand. “Why should the Dayan
Empire kill us all? We didn’t do anything to harm the empire.”
Feng Wu said solemnly, “Existence can be a mistake sometimes.”
Emperor Wu stared at Feng Wu.
Feng Wu told Emperor Wu what she heard when she interrogated Princess Yan Ling.
“A sacrificial altar? What kind of a sacrificial altar? Why did they have to choose the Junwu Empire? Moreover, they’re offering the blood of the people of the Junwu Empire as a sacrificial altar… That’s… That’s…” Emperor Wu felt dizzy. He couldn’t accept the result.
Feng Wu gave Emperor Wu a hand so that he wouldn’t fall.
“Xiao Wu, it’s not real, is it?” The Junwu Empire wasn’t strong enough to withstand it yet. He stared at Feng Wu.
Feng Wu looked into his eyes without saying a word.
That familiar look.. Yes, that was the look Jun Linyuan gave him every time he was delusional, reminding him that running away wouldn’t work.
“That’s…” Emperor Wu couldn’t accept it.
The Junwu Empire had been keeping a low profile for so long and finally had two geniuses — Feng Wu and Jun Linyuan. They could finally hold their heads high, but now, he was told that the Junwu Empire was going to be wiped out. Emperor Wu wanted to say that he wouldn’t believe it, but he trusted Feng Wu.
It had to be true.
“If that’s the case, it explains why the Dayan Empire has been supporting the
Dongsang Kingdom, while the Dongsang Kingdom has been targeting the Junwu Empire. That plan should have been there from the very beginning, but it’s become more intense now. To be more precise, the Dayan Empire is getting anxious.”
Clenching his fists, Emperor Wu racked his brain for the manpower he could use.
“By the way, what’s Yan Yu’s cultivation level like? What about the people he brought?” Emperor Wu asked Feng Wu.
Feng Wu said seriously, “Of the 30 or so people, the weakest one is a Spiritual Saint, and the strongest one… I don’t know their capabilities.”
Emperor Wu dropped to his knees.
He felt like admitting his defeat. If they invaded, no one in the Junwu Empire would survive..
