Chapter 258: Border Emergency

Chapter 258: Border Emergency

Zi Yan skipped into the residence, her steps light and bouncy, and in no time, she appeared in front of Xiao Ming.

"Well, well, well, look who's decided to come back." Xiao Ming said calmly, giving Zi Yan a casual glance.

"Hee hee." Zi Yan grinned in amusement and quickly made her way over to sit beside him.

Xiao Ming let out a sigh and poured himself another cup of tea. At that moment, a maid entered the room.

"Master Xiao Ming, Princess Yao Ye requests to see you."

"Please show her in." Xiao Ming knew it must be about the pill payment arranged by Jia Xing Tian, so he didn't hesitate to give the order.

Not long after, the tall and heroic Yao Ye entered. When she saw Xiao Ming, a bright smile spread across her cheeks.

"Master Xiao Ming."

"Have a seat, Princess."

"Mhm, thank you."

After a brief conversation, Yao Ye handed over a storage ring to Xiao Ming, saying it was the payment for the pill in addition to the reward.

Like Yun Yun, she also said that if Xiao Ming had any other requests, they would try their best to fulfill them.

After saying all this, Yao Ye did not leave as quickly as Yun Yun did, but chatted with Xiao Ming for a while.

Feeling Yao Ye's increasingly passionate gaze, Xiao Ming finally found an excuse to make her leave.

Before leaving, Yao Ye felt that Xiao Ming should not stay in the Jia Ma Empire for long, so she asked him when he would leave the Empire.

Xiao Ming replied that he would leave the Imperial Capital in a few days to visit the Xiao family, after which he would leave the Jia Ma Empire.

However, in truth, Xiao Ming had no intentions of leaving so soon. His objective was to instigate the conflict on the Empire's border as soon as possible.

If he stayed in the Imperial Capital openly, it might take a long time for the border conflict to happen.

It should not be forgotten that Xiao Ming's reputation was huge now.

These days, all the people in the Imperial Capital were going crazy talking about how Xiao Ming fought two Dou Ancestors alone on Misty Cloud Mountain. And if he didn't say that he was leaving the Jia Ma Empire, he suspected that those people would not dare to invade and instead wait for him to leave before launching their attack.

If the enemy chose not to invade the Jia Ma Empire, Xiao Ming would have no legitimate reason to initiate an attack against them.

This time, the three Empires attacked the Jia Ma Empire together, with the sole purpose of dividing up the territory of this weaker Empire.

As for the Chu Yun Empire attacking the Snake-People Tribe's territory earlier, there was no reason other than the fact that they had a long-standing feud between them.

"Well, let's quickly inform the imperial family of the situation here and ask them to send reinforcements. Otherwise, we won't be able to hold out for long," one of them said.

"That's all we can do," replied another.

And so, the information was quickly sent to the Jia Ma Sacred City.

...

At the Imperial Palace, Yao Ye flipped through the information in her hand and her face became unusually ugly.

Three Empires joining forces to attack them was always extremely bad news, regardless of when it happened.

Not to mention now, the Jia Ma Empire had lost many powerful people due to the events in the Misty Cloud Sect a few days ago, which had also caused the Misty Cloud Sect to be almost destroyed and the strength of the Dou Ancestor powerhouse, Yun Shan, to be severely weakened.

His great-grandfather had also gone into seclusion, trying to break through to Dou Ancestor.

As for Xiao Ming, he had long since left the Imperial Capital, and she didn't know if he had already left the Jia Ma Empire.

It could be said that this was now the weakest period of the Jia Ma Empire.

Those three Empires really knew how to choose their timing!

With a sigh, Yao Ye immediately wrote a few letters. Then she gave instructions to the female guard beside her.

"Send someone to deliver these letters to the Miteer Family, the Misty Cloud Sect, and... the Xiao Family of Wu Tan City."

"As you command, Princess."

Looking at the guard's back, Yao Ye thought, 'I hope Master Xiao Ming hasn't left the Jia Ma Empire yet...'

...

Wu Tan City.

Xiao Ming had completed the pill recipe for the Emperor's Stream Pulp these days, he originally wanted to try to fuse the Heavenly Flames, however, in the end, he chose to verify the reliability of the pill recipe.

At this moment, Xiao Ming held a letter in his hand, and a glint showed in his eyes.

"It's time to depart for the border."
