Chapter 2479: The Four Nations Pay Respects (3

It could be said that over the past few years when Shen Yanxiao left, the movements of the Long Xuan

Empire had been the largest. First, the supply they sent to the Barren Land was gradually reduced, and

then the transportation of personnel was cut o. In the past month, their connection with the Barren

Land was basically nonexistent.

The emperor of the Long Xuan Empire was also very depressed. Unlike the other three countries, Shen

Yanxiao came from their Long Xuan Empire! Just a few years ago, Shen Yanxiao needed to bow down to

him respectfully whenever she saw him. However, in the twinkling of an eye, an ordinary young girl in

their country soared high and became the overlord standing on the highest peak of the Radiance

Continent.

What made the emperor cough up blood was that he had personally assigned her The Rising Sun City,

which Shen Yanxiao used as a springboard.

If Shen Yanxiao had failed to enter the Barren Land, failed to gain a rm foothold in The Rising Sun City,

then even if she were all-powerful, she would never have been able to break away from her place as Long

Xuan Empire’s citizen, and everything she had accomplished would become part of the Long Xuan Empire.

When he thought of the resources and territory that was supposed to be owned by his country, yet had

inexplicably been taken away; when he thought of the loss of the Long Xuan Empire’s ve great clans as

well… who else could understand this kind of suocation?

A large part of the reason why the emperor of the Long Xuan Empire had such a big reaction to the

Barren Land was that Shen Yanxiao herself came from the Long Xuan Empire.

It could be said that Shen Yanxiao came to this stage today partly because of the work of the Long Xuan

Empire’s emperor!!!

“Very well! Now she’s back! What should we do? Wash our neck and wait for her to cut it?!!” The emperor

furiously glared at the group of ocials who were silent below. When Shen Yanxiao was not in the

Radiance Continent, they had urged him one by one to break away from the alliance with the Barren

Land. However, as soon as Shen Yanxiao came back, they immediately closed their mouths tightly and

could not raise any valuable opinions.

The emperor almost went mad. He was envious of what Shen Yanxiao had, but at the same time, he was

also afraid of this same thing. He knew very well that the present Long Xuan Empire was denitely not a

rival to the Barren Land, and to make enemies with Shen Yanxiao was tantamount to courting death.

“Father.” Prince Long Yue, who had been silent by his side, suddenly raised his head.

“Since Lord Shen has invited us to go to the Barren Land, she denitely won’t take the previous trivial

matters to heart. As long as we go to the Barren Land with the plan to ght the Devil Race this time, Lord

Shen will not care about other things.” Long Yue looked at his father and said. The years had left silver

vicissitudes on the temples of the emperor. He was already old; suspicion and timidity had gradually

consumed all of his original imperial might. In decision-making, he might not be a qualied emperor, but

Long Yue still respected his father. Even though the emperor had made countless wrong decisions, and in

spite of Long Yue’s eorts to persuade him, his stubbornness still could not be changed. Even so, Long

Yue was still full of respect for his father.

“This… is this really alright? Will she forgive us?” The emperor stared at his own son with some

nervousness. As he was getting old, he began to seek his son’s protection.

“Lord Shen, she… is not a petty person like that. Since she is willing to cross the oceans to seek allies in

other continents for the survival of mankind, naturally she will not care about these things at this

juncture.” Long Yue replied.
