Chapter 217.2

General Bu, I just want to ask you one question. Do you think Great Yan can hold out? Yuan Tiangang said.

Bu Qingyun opened his mouth, wanting to say something but found himself unable to speak.

Yuan Tiangang continued, Let me be frank. With the three kingdoms besieging you, Great Yans days are numbered! No matter what you do, even if you fight with all your might, you still wont be able to hold out!

Man proposes, God disposes. All I want is to have a clear conscience! Bu Qingyun said.

He wanted to be loyal and also to save his family. But since ancient times, it has been difficult to fulfill both loyalty and righteousness, and he was torn between choices.

Yuan Tiangang smiled, I have a perfect solution!

Tell me! Bu Qingyun urged.

General Bu, you can move your family to Great Xia first to avoid the war. Meanwhile, you can still serve Great Yan and fight to the end. If you really cant hold out, you will have fulfilled your duty of loyalty and righteousness without regret, and then you can come to Great Xia to serve His Majesty. How about that?

After hearing this, Bu Qingyun was very tempted; it indeed seemed like a perfect solution.

But what if Great Yan holds out?

Yuan Tiangang looked deeply at him, Do you think thats possible?

That Bu Qingyun couldnt answer.

Alright, even if Great Yan holds out this time, can it withstand a second or third time? Weakness is a sin, and the weak will continuously suffer and be exploited. Even if its not those three kingdoms, other nations will come. Great Yan is no longer the Great Yan of the past!

Bu Qingyun was unable to respond again.

Even he was not optimistic about the future of Great Yan.

Well, its getting late, I should be going. General Bu, think it over carefully! Well come back in a few days, and you can tell us your decision then! The life and death of your family depend on your thoughts!

Right, I forgot to introduce myselfI am Yuan Tiangang!

Yuan Tiangang and his party left.

General Bu Qingyun watched their retreating figures, deep in thought.

Then, Yuan Tiangang secretly visited other generals of Great Yan, as well as the Innate sect.

He appealed to emotions, reasoned with logic, and enticed with benefitsemploying every tactic available.

For those who valued loyalty, he used sentiment to bewitch them.

For those who valued profit, he used incentives to lure them.

Yuan Tiangang had a keen eye, often able to see through peoples hearts, offering terms they couldnt refuse.

This was why Lin Beifan had sent him to act as an envoy.

Yuan Tiangang bowed humbly to the direction of Great Xia and smiled modestly, You flatter me too much. All of this is His Majestys achievement! His Majesty is wise and martial, having founded the Dynasty, which attracts people from all directions, a place everyone yearns for. I am merely going with the flow, providing them with an opportunity. Naturally, they are willing to come, so its not anything difficult!

You are formidable, but His Majesty is even more so! the four people said in unison.

Alright, lets not talk too much. Lets get to work so we can return to Great Xia as soon as possible!

Subsequently, they activated the covert forces that Lin Beifan had left in the Great Yan Kingdom and swiftly relocated the families of the six Innate experts.

With no worries left behind, the six Innates fought with all their might to defend Great Yan.

However, in the end, their defeat was as overwhelming as a collapsing mountain.

The military forces of the three kingdoms were too strong. The twenty Innates alone were more than they could contend with.

In less than half a month, the armies of the three kingdoms had taken over the capital city.

The Innates of Great Yan wanted to cover the escape of the Great Yan Emperor and preserve the royal family, but the proud Emperor chose not to flee but to self-immolate instead.

Thus, the Great Yan Kingdom ultimately perished!

No longer bound by regret, the six Innates finally came to serve Lin Beifan in Great Xia.

Greetings, Your Majesty, long live the emperor!

Ding! As the players national power has increased, your strength has also increased synchronously. You are rewarded with the Tai Xuan Jing (The Classic of the Great Mystery)!

The Tai Xuan Jing is a Grandmaster-level martial art, also known as the encyclopedia of martial arts! It is said that in the beginning, there was the Dao, and the Dao was with the divine, the Dao is the divine, and the divine and Dao are natural

Lin Beifan quickly absorbed this martial art.

Although this martial art was not particularly strong compared to his other techniques, it was an exceptional martial arts tome that contained many martial principles, which could help him to draw on strengths and improve.

This was mainly due to the loyalty of the several Innates.

With the addition of these six newly sworn Innates, the number of Innate masters under Lin Beifans command was now close to fifty!

Such a number of Innates was comparable to some Empires.

Thinking of this, Lin Beifan was very happy.
