Chapter 1386: Counterattack Beyond the Domain (3)
January 26, 2018
Beyond the Domain, in the Bright City - Demon City.
Lu Hai Kong sat upright on the Dragon Throne in the Bright City Palace, perusing various documents he had collected from the palace with great interest. His focus on these documents wasn't because the battle for Bright City had concluded, but rather because he currently found little interest in this particular engagement.
Engaging in a battle akin to using a cannon to swat a fly, Lu Hai Kong's involvement would render the efforts of his subordinates meaningless.
To allow them their moment to shine and gather intelligence from Beyond the Domain, Lu Hai Kong, upon arriving in Bright City, had brought Xu Shu with him to review the local documents.
At this very moment, within Bright City, a battle raged, one that could no longer be described as a one-sided affair.
With Zhu Yuan Zhang attending the Alliance Conference and taking Yuan Chong Huan and Xu Da with him, the leader of this Demon City was none other than Chang Yu Chun.
Unfortunately for him, his luck was less than stellar, as he encountered Lu Hai Kong upon opening the city gates and was promptly captured by Yue Ying.
However, even with Chang Yu Chun's capture, Bright City did not entirely lose its capacity for resistance. At this time, in addition to Chang Yu Chun, Qi Ji Guang and his Qi Family Army were also present.
Currently, Qi Ji Guang was leading his forces against Lu Hai Kong's generals.
Qi Ji Guang himself was a formidable opponent, and his Qi Family Army remained powerful even after their transformation into the domain's evil demons. Nonetheless, this battle was destined to be one he could not win...
...
Beyond the Domain, in the Demon City of Xian Yang, within the Afang Palace.
As the venue for the Alliance Conference, the atmosphere here was rather peculiar at this moment.
When Qin Shi Huang announced his intention to establish an alliance, nearly ninety percent of the factions present stood up in opposition. This public defiance left Qin Shi Huang's face as dark as charcoal.
To his side, Xiang Yu maintained a stoic expression, while Liu Bang watched with a mischievous grin, both embodying the epitome of bystanders enjoying the spectacle.
Those who had voiced their dissent now fixed their gazes upon Qin Shi Huang.
After decades in Beyond the Domain, these individuals had come to understand Qin Shi Huang's character quite well. They were keenly aware that he would never let such defiance go unaddressed and that there was undoubtedly more to come.
Indeed, after sweeping his frigid gaze over the group of leaders who had stood up, Qin Shi Huang's darkening expression eventually settled on one particular individual.
The fact that they had all risen simultaneously indicated their lack of courage to confront him individually. Recognizing this, Qin Shi Huang intended to make an example of one to deter the others. Unluckily, Zhu Yuan Zhang became his target.
"What was your response when I just mentioned forming an alliance?"
As Qin Shi Huang's icy gaze settled on Zhu Yuan Zhang, an aura of power seemed to swirl around him. His entire being exuded the aura of an impending terrifying thunderclap, a state that could exert immense pressure on others. An ordinary person would likely have been overwhelmed by Qin Shi Huang's presence.
However, much to Qin Shi Huang's chagrin, the person before him was no ordinary individual.
While Zhu Yuan Zhang was reluctant to confront Qin Shi Huang directly, it didn't mean he would back down at this critical juncture.
As the ruler of a nation, having risen from humble beginnings and established his empire through his own efforts, Zhu Yuan Zhang was a Founding Ancestor. Before integrating with Beyond the Domain, he had held the lives of hundreds of millions in his hands, commanding unparalleled authority.
Since they had already locked eyes, there was no way he would back down. "I disagree with your proposal. I don't see the need for us to form an alliance just for a mere Three Kingdoms World and Lu Hai Kong."
Qin Shi Huang's face turned cold, and he was about to speak.
At this moment, Zhao Kuang Yin, who was standing beside him, also stood up. "I also think that an alliance is completely unnecessary!"
"For the sake of a single Three Kingdoms World, you're making a mountain out of a molehill. You should reconsider."
For a moment, almost all the leaders who had stood up voiced their support.
These guys were all big shots in their own right. Except for a few exceptions, none of them were shortsighted. They wouldn't stand by and watch Qin Shi Huang make an example of someone to deter others.
It could be said that their action once again slapped Qin Shi Huang in the face, making his expression grow even darker.
However, despite his darkening face, Qin Shi Huang wasn't overly angry about the situation. Or rather, he had anticipated this outcome from the very beginning.
Even so, he had still convened this alliance conference, which meant he was either foolish or extremely confident. Clearly, the latter was more likely.
In fact, everything, including this failure, was part of his plan.
Please...You...Collect...6_9_Book_Bar (Six//Nine//Book//Bar)
What was about to happen was the real beginning of his plan, and he had been plotting it for ten years. It wasn't going to be that simple.
The plan was already in motion. With just ten days, he would be able to form an alliance and unite the forces from beyond the domain.
With this confidence, Qin Shi Huang's dark expression softened, and he broke into a smile.
However, just as he was about to reveal his trump card, an unexpected situation arose.
Xu Da rushed into the Afang Palace.
The kings present were all taken aback by this, and many of them showed displeasure on their faces, thinking that Zhu Yuan Zhang had called him in. They began to view Zhu Yuan Zhang with some disdain.
Even if Qin Shi Huang was powerful, he wouldn't dare to kill anyone within the Afang Palace. If he wanted to deal with them, he would have to wait until they were outside. Zhu Yuan Zhang seemed a little too timid, calling for someone at the slightest conflict.
However, Xu Da's next action surprised them. He quickly approached Zhu Yuan Zhang and whispered a few words in his ear. After a brief conversation, Zhu Yuan Zhang's expression completely changed. He turned his head, his face filled with a complex mix of emotions as he looked at Qin Shi Huang.
"What happened?" Zhao Kuang Yin and the others on the side asked anxiously, thinking that Qin Shi Huang had done something.
Zhu Yuan Zhang's face displayed a range of emotions. After a long pause, he finally spoke, "As Emperor Qin Shi Huang said, Lu Hai Kong has arrived and has truly launched a counterattack beyond the domain. My Bright City has just been taken by him."
This short sentence, spoken softly, was like a thunderclap that stunned everyone in the Afang Palace, including Qin Shi Huang!
At this moment, Qin Shi Huang's heart was not filled with joy over Lu Hai Kong's divine assist. Instead, he was cursing inwardly. He didn't need Lu Hai Kong's help to easily form the alliance; now, with Lu Hai Kong's interference, his situation had become more complicated...
