Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 1263 - 1253: A Great Gift from Heaven

The Flying Leopard Emperor is in the royal palace arranging war matters with dozens of war generals. People are coming and going in the palace, the atmosphere is tense.

The Flying Leopard Emperor is very familiar with the Great Dragon Emperor. The two have known each other for over a hundred years, and since both became emperors, they’ve had dozens of wars, big and small.

The Flying Leopard Emperor does not believe that the Great Dragon Emperor is mobilizing his army just to bluff. He knows the Great Dragon Emperor too well; this man is swift and decisive, authoritative, with strong ambition.

In these decades, the Great Dragon Emperor has been trying wholeheartedly to ally with the Youming Empire to jointly attack the Flying Leopard Empire, aiming to annex the Flying Leopard Empire and then dominate the entire Witch Star.

Originally, the Great Dragon Emperor had betrothed his daughter Long Jing to the Eldest Prince of the Youming Empire to form an alliance between the two countries to destroy the Flying Leopard Empire together.

Fortunately, this political marriage ultimately failed. To prevent the Great Dragon Empire from becoming too powerful, the Youming Empire instead allied with the Flying Leopard Empire to resist the Great Dragon Empire.

The Flying Leopard Empire did not perish. Aside from fate, it was significantly thanks to the hesitation of the White Elephant Emperor, who did not want to see the scenario of the Great Dragon Empire being dominant, so he never cooperated in sending troops to attack the Flying Leopard Empire.

The Flying Leopard Emperor initially thought the national fate was doomed, but unexpectedly Heaven favored him by bringing Yang Xiao mysteriously, who miraculously reversed the imbalanced situation between the Great Dragon Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire with unimaginable circumstances.

Now, the Great Dragon Emperor is using Yang Xiao’s killing of the Third Prince as a reason to send troops to attack the Flying Leopard Empire, seeking revenge on Yang Xiao. The Flying Leopard Emperor will in no way agree to this.

Last night, when the first war general Wanyan Kang discussed strategies alone with the Flying Leopard Empire, he once asked,

"Emperor, if we can sacrifice Yang Xiao for the peace of the nation, why not do it?

Yang Xiao is not one of our Flying Leopard Empire’s citizens. This State Preceptor is merely a nominal title; there’s no need to tear up with the Great Dragon Empire over Yang Xiao,

The Great Dragon Empire, although it lost the War God and Long Kui, two Emperor-level transcendents, their army is still very formidable. Especially their Genetic Evolution Research Institute that can evolve ordinary King Level Evolvers to become Emperor Level Evolvers in a short time. This has always been a major advantage of the Great Dragon Empire military,

If we really fight hard with them, we wouldn’t gain any advantage and would end up hurt, putting the national fate at risk,

The Youming Empire is just waiting to reap the benefits on the side!"

Wanyan Kang has always been very hostile towards Yang Xiao, looking for a chance to eliminate him.

Wanyan Kang was once the Second Prince’s supporting power, suppressing other Princes for many years, especially the Eldest Prince, knowing the Eldest Prince harbors deep hatred towards him,

Although the Eldest Prince temporarily needs to rely on his prestige and abilities to rule the empire, there’s no guarantee that after the Eldest Prince secures his throne, he won’t turn against him.

The Eldest Prince’s strongest supporting power now is Yang Xiao, eliminating Yang Xiao would be equivalent to dismantling the Eldest Prince’s backing. Then, even if he succeeds the throne, he can only completely rely on Wanyan Kang, being controlled by Wanyan Kang.

The Flying Leopard Emperor glanced at Wanyan Kang and firmly said:

"I will absolutely not hand Yang Xiao over to the Great Dragon Emperor. Yang Xiao is the reliance of our Flying Leopard Empire’s national fate and the key supporting power for the Eldest Prince’s future succession.

If I hand over Yang Xiao to the Great Dragon Emperor now, it would be akin to self-destuction of the national fate."

The Flying Leopard Emperor spoke so plainly, naturally, Wanyan Kang didn’t have much to say anymore.

Before Wanyan Kang and the Eldest Prince gathered their troops to the frontline at the border, the Flying Leopard Emperor summoned Wanyan He privately.

"He’er, what do you think about Yang Xiao? Should I hand Yang Xiao over to the Great Dragon Empire?"

Wanyan He immediately said:

"Of course not, Yang Xiao has saved my life several times. Speaking privately, Yang Xiao is my lifesaver, I treat him as my own brother, and Yang Xiao is also deeply loyal to me.

Speaking publicly, the Flying Leopard Empire is able to rise again and form a trinity with the Great Dragon Empire and the Youming Empire, and Yang Xiao has made tremendous contributions.

With the strong backing of Purple Origin Star and Yang Xiao’s coalition, we fear nothing."

The Flying Leopard Emperor nodded and said:

"He’er, what you said is very true, but there’s one thing I must remind you, people are selfish,

Yang Xiao treating you as a brother is fate,

However, forging iron relies on self-hardness, you yourself must be strong enough to qualify as Yang Xiao’s brother."

Wanyan He was taken aback and said:

"I understand, Father."

"No, you do not understand."

"What does Father mean by this?"

The Flying Leopard Emperor smiled faintly and said:

"I know you resent Wanyan Kang because he once assisted the Second Prince in suppressing you, even contemplating to kill you,

But times change, the situation is different now, you are the future emperor, you must be good at uniting and utilizing various powers, not act on personal fondness,

If I am gone someday, the first war general Wanyan Kang will be the most powerful internal force in the empire. By attracting Wanyan Kang and gaining his support, you can secure your throne and gain more weight before Yang Xiao,

Conversely, having Yang Xiao’s support will keep Wanyan Kang cautious and respectful of you, not daring to act recklessly,

Can you understand the stakes involved?"

Wanyan He nodded,

"Thank you, Father, for the guidance. I will keep it in mind."

The Flying Leopard Emperor laughed heartily and said:

"Heaven blesses you, unexpectedly delivering you a big gift out of nowhere."

"A big gift?"

Wanyan He looked at his father in confusion.

The Flying Leopard Emperor smiled faintly and looked at his son,

"He’er, it’s always Yang Xiao helping us, we owe him. This time, I will risk everything to repay Yang Xiao, so he will owe you forever."

"?"

"Haha, it is the current war, you see, Yang Xiao killed the Great Dragon Emperor’s third son, now in rage, the entire country is mobilized to attack us, aiming to capture Yang Xiao for revenge,

I will fight to the death to stand against Great Dragon Emperor’s pressure, saving Yang Xiao’s life, and Yang Xiao will naturally be grateful to you,

Do you think this counts as a gift from Heaven?"

Wanyan He suddenly understood,

"Father, you have thought it through,

However, if war breaks out, it will still be devastating for both sides. The result could be dire, you must be mentally prepared."

"Don’t worry, I am aware, you and Wanyan Kang just lead the troops to the border, if war does break out, I will arrive at the battlefield first."

...

Currently, Wanyan Kang and Wanyan He have gathered hundreds of war generals and ten thousand troops assembled by the Realm at two small border towns, ready to confront the Great Dragon Empire’s invasion.

The Flying Leopard Empire is discussing war plans with several subordinates when a guard hurriedly steps up,

"Report to the Emperor, the Great Dragon Emperor has arrived, requesting to see you!"

The Flying Leopard Emperor was shocked, raising his head to look at the guard.

"The Great Dragon Emperor is here? How could this be possible? Clearly, both countries are about to go to war, why would he come at such a dangerous time without reason?

How many people did he bring?"

"He only brought one elder, and he also said,"

The guard hesitated.

"What did he say?"

"He asked us to report, giving us only three minutes, if you don’t see him, he’ll break in himself."
