He Xiong turned a blind eye to the anger of tens of millions of people, remained unmoved, and intensified his threat to Ming Hao: "The Ruifeng Empire is the suzerain of the Yongming Dynasty. Whatever our eldest prince wants, you have to give it to us. Otherwise, you will give it to me before you ascend the throne."
That's when the war between the two countries begins, you'd better think clearly."
"Marrying a princess in exchange for peace is worth it!"
"It's a good thing to marry into the Ruifeng Empire. Why don't you agree?"
"The eldest prince proposes marriage to you. That's just bad luck for you. What else are you thinking about?"
"Hurry up and agree, otherwise General He will get angry and you may not even be able to ascend the throne."
Envoys from various countries also fanned the flames and added fuel to the fire. None of them had any good intentions.
"Even if the two countries are at war, I will not let Princess Mingyue marry to the Ruifeng Empire!"
Minghao looked at He Xiong coldly and responded firmly.
"Are you going to drink as a penalty if you don't eat the toast?"
He Xiong's face immediately darkened, and he took off the battle ax from his shoulder, which seemed to threaten Ming Hao's life.
Seeing this, Xin Yue quickly led four strong men to stand in front of Ming Hao.
"Can you three-legged cats stop this general?"
He Xiong laughed loudly and looked at Xin Yue and others as if they were looking at ants.
Those strong men like Xin Yue were only at the first level of Yuan Dan realm, so they were no match for him.
Especially Xin Yue, who had just broken through, had not even consolidated his cultivation, his aura was unstable, and he could be destroyed with just a raise of his hands.
"How can your Yongming Dynasty contend with our Ruifeng Empire with this little strength?"
He Xiong said disdainfully, "Let me show you what despair means!"
After saying that, He Xiong released his breath, and a terrifying aura surged out into the sky, forming a powerful pressure that enveloped everyone within a ten-foot radius.
The second level peak of Yuan Dan Realm!
Although this coercion had little impact on Xin Yue and others, it had a great impact on Minghao, who was already overwhelmed by the pressure and could hardly breathe.
"Protect the King!"
Xin Yue shouted and was about to lead the crowd to rush forward and fight with He Xiong.
At this time, a majestic soul power suddenly extended over, like a sea of soul power, washing away He Xiong's pressure.
Everyone felt a light weight on their shoulders and felt relieved.
"Soul power?"
He Xiong was stunned for a moment, then became furious, "Who dares to break my pressure?"
"It's King Bendan!"
A majestic voice sounded, like thunder exploding from the sky, shocking everyone.
High in the sky, a man and a woman appeared, flying slowly towards the podium.
The man was only sixteen or seventeen years old. He was wearing a red Alchemy King robe with nine golden Alchemy King patterns that were eye-catching. He was not angry but mighty, and looked down upon others.
The woman was about the same age as the man. She was wearing a phoenix robe and a golden ring on her head. She had beautiful facial features and a figure as light as a sparrow, like a bright moon falling in the world.
At this time, tens of millions of people at the scene raised their heads, all their eyes falling on those two people.
"Ninth-level Great Alchemy King?"
He Xiong was shocked and had only one doubt in his mind: Could it be that Dancheng wanted to interfere in secular affairs?
The murderous intention he had just raised towards Ming Hao disappeared without a trace.
The envoys from various countries also changed their expressions one after another and looked at each other, not knowing what to do?
A ninth-level Great Alchemy King appeared in the Yongming Dynasty and also appeared when Minghao ascended the throne. Does this mean that Minghao has the support of Alchemy City behind him?
If that's the case, that's a big deal.
Will their various cynicism towards Minghao cause trouble for their country?
"The Great Alchemy King is here!"
There was a burst of cheers at the scene, which resounded throughout the world.
Lu Chen's appearance took away all the grace, including Ming Hao's and He Xiong's.
Minghao breathed a sigh of relief and finally came. It was better to be late than not at all.
He Xiong looked like he was about to go crazy, and there was no army on the throne, so he was unstoppable.
He Xiong was fully capable of killing him and escaping easily.
If Lu Chen had been late, he might have collected the body for him.
"Are you Lu Chen?"
He Xiong looked at Lu Chen and felt that Lu Chen's powerful aura completely overwhelmed his own, and he looked a little unnatural.
Of course, as an important general of the Ruifeng Empire, he naturally got some information and knew about Lu Chen, including the grievances between Lu Chen and Han Yi, as well as the Ruifeng Empire dispatching some forces to eliminate Lu Chen, etc.
When he came this time, in addition to threatening Ming Hao and proposing marriage for the eldest prince, he also had an important task, which was to confirm whether Lu Chen was the ninth-level Great Alchemy King and whether Alchemy City was supporting the Yongming Dynasty.
Now that I have heard and seen it, Lu Chen is wearing the Alchemy King's robe and lighting up the nine Alchemy King patterns. There is no doubt that he is the ninth-level Great Alchemy King.
But he hasn't found out whether there is Dan Cheng behind Lu Chen, and this point is extremely important.
If it is confirmed that Dancheng supports the Yongming Dynasty, then the Yongming Dynasty cannot be provoked!
The Ruifeng Empire's plan to annex the Yongming Dynasty will be put on hold indefinitely, or even permanently cancelled.
The reason is very simple, Dan City is too powerful, and the Ruifeng Empire can be destroyed with just a flick of a finger.
"You are water, how dare you call me Dan King by his first name?"
As soon as Lu Chen saw the armor on He Xiong, he knew that he was from the Ruifeng Empire, so he deliberately gave He Xiong a look.
"I...the last general, He Xiong, is the southern general of the Ruifeng Empire. I was rude for a moment, and I hope the Great Alchemist King will forgive me."
He Xiong frowned and had to be more gentle.
There is no way, the identity of the ninth-level Great Alchemy King is too illustrious, and cannot be matched by a little general like him.
"Go back and tell your master to change your title. Instead of conquering the south, conquer the north."
Lu Chen didn't give He Xiong a good look, and said unceremoniously.
Still marching south?
Recruit your sister!
The south of the Ruifeng Empire is the border with the Yongming Dynasty. The meaning of conquering the south is to conquer the Yongming Dynasty.
Can I let you levy it?
"Zhengbei?"
He Xiong was stunned, and his face darkened on the spot.
To the north of the Ruifeng Empire is another powerful empire. If you want me to conquer the north, wouldn't it mean starting a war with that empire?
The strength of the two empires is almost the same, so it is impossible for them to start a war or conquer them.
If you want to conquer, you have to find a weak country to conquer, such as your Yongming Dynasty.
"It's okay to conquer the north. Can you afford to conquer the south?"
Lu Chen sneered.
"As long as our eldest prince is willing to conquer any small country in the south, we can conquer it at will."
He Xiong said, referring to the Yongming Dynasty.
"That's not necessarily true. Youdao has been in Hexi for ten years and Hedong for ten years. Maybe the small country in the south will conquer your Ruifeng Empire."
Lu Chen continued to look at He Xiong coldly and said lightly.
"King Great Alchemy is joking. The small southern countries are just vassals of our Ruifeng Empire. They can only be conquered. How can they have the ability to resist conquest?"
When He Xiong heard that Lu Chen belittled his country, he naturally responded unconvinced.
"We'll see if he has the ability."
Lu Chen didn't bother to talk nonsense to He Xiong and said directly, "Minghao is going to ascend the throne, and you still won't get out of the way? What are you thinking about? Do you want to ascend the throne yourself?"
