Chapter 283

As soon as this group of mysterious strongmen entered Great Xia territory, they were discovered by Lin Beifan.

What are these people doing?

Lin Beifan manipulated the Empire Sandbox, zooming in for a closer look.

He saw a group of people with Innate-level strength transporting a number of bodies in sacks, sneaking them into Great Xia territory.

Among these bodies, there was a young man dressed in a golden yellow python robe, which clearly indicated his royal origin.

Although Lin Beifan did not recognize the young man, he recognized the robe he wore.

This was a python robe exclusive to the princes of the Great Wu Empire, made from exquisite materials and with very fine craftsmanship. It was said that the python patterns were one by one embroidered with gold threads.

Aside from its identity value, just this python robe alone could sell for thousands of taels of silver in the market.

So, what are they planning to do? Lin Beifan squinted, watching carefully.

He saw the group carefully transporting the bodies to a location near the Great Xia military camp, which used to be within Great Yan territory.

Alright, this is the place! said one who seemed to be the leader.

Leave two people to monitor the situation. Everyone else will leave and report back that the mission is complete!

Yes, leader! the others responded in unison.

Just then, the situation changed dramatically.

Suddenly, the ground where they stood collapsed.

Whats happening? Is the earth dragon turning over?

Caught off guard, the dozen or so men, along with the nearby bodies, all fell down.

After falling for what seemed like an eternity, they finally steadied themselves and found they had fallen into a pitch-black hole. But this hole had no exit in any direction.

The situation was somewhat scary. They had clearly fallen from above, yet they couldnt find an exit.

Then, with a whoosh, the space suddenly lit up.

Whos there? They each grabbed a weapon, forming a circle while warily looking around.

Then, a strange voice came through: Who are you and what are you planning to do?

Who are you to trap us here? the leader asked, looking around for the source of the voice, but he couldnt find where it was coming from.

The voice seemed to come from all directions, ethereal, not quite human.

I ask, you answer. Dont speak of irrelevant things!

Attack!

They joined forces, exerting their full strength in all directions in an attempt to break through and find a way out.

This method of framing was full of holes, but sometimes it was very effective.

Regardless of whether Great Xia and Great Wu were willing, they would end up in conflict over this matter.

The person behind the scenes would then reap the benefits like a fisherman watching the net.

Who exactly is this scoundrel trying to harm me? Lin Beifan pondered.

He had long noticed that ever since Great Xia had established its empire, there seemed to be a mysterious and powerful force targeting them, preventing their rise.

For instance, the previous offer of 30 million taels to hire the Green Garment Tower to deal with Great Xia.

Without substantial financial resources, it would be impossible to offer such a sum of 30 million taels.

And this time, the framing involved the use of Innate Dead Soldiers, which could not have been cultivated without the backing of a powerful force.

They might have succeeded if Lin Beifan didnt have the Empire Sandbox.

By then, it would inevitably slow down the rise of Great Xia.

If one plan fails, they will surely come up with another, causing endless trouble!

Right now, Lin Beifan really wants to find out who is behind all this.

who exactly is it?

Lin Beifan pondered seriously but couldnt come up with an answer.

Because he had offended too many people.

For instance, during his territorial expansions, he had offended members of various royal families, noble families, and martial arts sects. The number was so vast it was impossible to keep track of all of them.

The neighboring kingdoms of Great Xia would certainly not sit idly by as Great Xia expanded its territory. They would surely scheme in the shadows, striking first to gain the upper hand.

And then there were the other great empires, which couldnt bear the thought of another power rising to their level and would definitely take action in secret.

Therefore, being powerful is the original sin, and being excellent will be targeted. No empire has ever risen smoothly! Just like the once-great Genghis Khan, who possessed unmatched military might, the talent to establish a dynasty, and the ambition to swallow the world. Yet. he ended up making enemies of the entire world, which is both sad and lamentable!

Lin Beifan sighed, feeling that he was gradually walking the same path.

In the end, he might end up with the world as his enemy, just like Genghis Khan!

If he were to fail, he wondered if he could survive that?

Forget it. Theres no point in dwelling on it if I cant figure it out! Ill deal with problems as they come. On my territory, no one can stir up any trouble! Lin Beifan reassured himself confidently.
