Chapter 282 Huangfu Zhan
Emperor Huangfu, in the imperial palace.
The sudden deployment of troops by the Qin Dynasty on the border left the imperial capital and the court somewhat bewildered.
"The Qin Dynasty has suddenly amassed troops on the border; this means they intend to start a war with my Huangfu Dynasty!"
"The Great Qin Dynasty has experts at the Tribulation Transcending stage; how could we possibly be their match..."
"Alas! This time, my Huangfu Dynasty is probably in grave danger..."
In the imperial court, all the officials of Emperor Huangfu's dynasty looked worried. Everyone felt a deep sense of anxiety about the sudden military action by the Qin Dynasty.
The difference in strength between the Qin Dynasty and the Huangfu Dynasty was too great; they simply had no power to fight back.
Huangfu Sixuan was also sitting on the dragon throne at this time, with deep sorrow between his brows.
Unexpectedly, the Qin Dynasty suddenly launched an attack.
The relationship between the two dynasties was so harmonious before, and they even jointly destroyed the Tianhu Dynasty.
Not long ago, they even sent people together to support the Great Wei Dynasty in the Molan Domain.
Now they are facing each other with swords drawn.
This sudden change is really hard to accept.
Listening to the chattering of the ministers below, Huangfu Sixuan frowned even more deeply.
They've already thrown things into chaos before the fight even started.
If the Qin Dynasty really attacks, wouldn't they just surrender immediately?
"Quiet!"
Huangfu Sixuan called out in a deep voice.
A magnificent spiritual power emanated from her body.
Upon feeling this pressure, the ministers in the hall all fell silent, their faces filled with fear.
Huangfu Sixuan's dignified gaze swept across the surroundings, causing those who were looked at to involuntarily lower their heads.
"I am still alive, and the Huangfu Dynasty has not yet fallen. What are you all panicking about?"
After seeing that no one in the main hall was making any noise, Huangfu Sixuan spoke in a deep voice.
The ministers of Emperor Huangfu's court immediately showed bitter expressions upon hearing his words.
Don't you know why we're panicking?
Even if the Huangfu Dynasty hasn't fallen yet, so what? It's only a matter of time.
Even the Heavenly Fox Dynasty, which possessed experts at the Tribulation Transcending stage, was no match for the Great Qin Dynasty, let alone the Huangfu Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, it's no wonder our colleagues are anxious. It's simply that Great Qin is too powerful. Faced with such an enemy, panic is only natural..."
"If they're not panicking, then something's definitely wrong!"
Just as the atmosphere in the main hall became tense, a voice came from inside.
Upon hearing this voice, Huangfu Sixuan's face lit up with joy, and she unconsciously stood up.
Then, an old figure walked in from outside the hall.
The man was dressed in simple coarse linen clothes and straw sandals, looking like an old farmer.
Although the man was very old, with his hands behind his back and his back bent, he even looked a little unsteady when he walked.
However, the aura emanating from him is impossible to ignore.
What kind of aura was that?
It was an aura that had been refined over the years, a restrained presence, and a hidden depth in every movement, an aura that defied description.
Some ministers from Emperor Huangfu's court in the main hall looked puzzled when they saw the old man.
Who is this person?
Why have I never seen it before?
Although they didn't know who the old man was, judging from the Emperor's expression, he clearly knew who this person was.
Perhaps one of the royal ancestors has awakened!
Although most people in the hall did not recognize this person, some of the older ministers were clearly taken aback when they saw him.
A look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, is that you?"
An elderly minister walked out shakily, tears welling in his eyes, and looked at the old man, saying...
He wasn't speaking to Huangfu Sixuan on the dragon throne, but to the old man before him.
"Qian Yue! I didn't expect you to have aged so much! You're almost as old as me, hahaha!"
The old man saw the old minister, a smile appeared on his face, and he laughed loudly.
"Your Majesty, is it really you?"
"Waaah, back then, you said you were going into seclusion to break through to the peak of the Mahayana realm, and then we lost all contact with you. This old minister thought... I thought..."
Did you think I was dead?
The old man picked up the conversation and teased.
"No, how could you die? With your talent, you were capable of cultivating to a higher realm. If it weren't for the Heavenly Fox Dynasty's ambush that damaged your foundation, you would have already broken through..."
The old minister shook his head, his eyes filled with determination.
He clearly had great confidence in the old man in front of him.
"Hahaha! So many years have passed, and that young man who dared to speak out for justice and was unafraid of the powerful has now become a flatterer. Time really can change a person's character..."
The old man laughed and spoke.
"No, what this old minister said is the truth..."
The old minister shook his head and said firmly.
"Alright, let's talk about our issues later. Let's get down to business first!"
The old man spoke to Qian Yue.
"it is good!"
Qian Yue nodded and then returned to his seat, but his gaze remained fixed on the old man.
Qian Yue clearly respected the old man greatly and immediately carried out his orders without the slightest delay.
The old man scanned the entire hall, looking at the familiar scene before him and the strangely unfamiliar faces. He could only find one or two people in the crowd who were somewhat familiar to him.
A hint of nostalgia flashed in the old man's eyes.
Finally, his gaze fell upon Huangfu Sixuan on the high platform.
There was a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
"My Xuan'er is already a capable emperor..."
The old man spoke with a smile.
"Grandpa! Is it really you?"
With tears in her eyes, Huangfu Sixuan watched as the old man in front of her gradually merged with the figure in her memory.
"grandfather?"
Huangfu Sixuan's words instantly caused an uproar in the hall.
No one expected that the old man in front of them was actually the Emperor's grandfather.
Doesn't that mean this person is the founding emperor of their Huangfu dynasty?
Hasn't the founding emperor already passed away?
Why did it suddenly appear? Could it be that Emperor Taizu did not perish?
"That's right, it's me!"
Huangfu Zhan nodded gently and said.
Upon receiving Huangfu Zhan's reply, Huangfu Sixuan leaped down from the high platform and came to his side.
He looked carefully at the old man in front of him.
When her gaze fell upon Huangfu Zhan's full head of white hair and hunched back, she paused slightly in surprise.
Grandpa, your hair?
Huangfu Sixuan asked cautiously.
In her memory, her grandfather was a tall and mighty man, but the old man in front of her had a full head of white hair and a hunched back, a far cry from the appearance she remembered.
Although Huangfu Sixuan was just a child when Huangfu Zhan went into seclusion, how could Huangfu Zhan, with his cultivation level, have aged so much in just a hundred years?
"It's alright. Although I look old, living another thousand years or so is not a problem..."
Huangfu Zhan waved his hand dismissively, while an aura unique to the peak of the Mahayana stage emanated from him.
Although it was only for a moment, it still put immense pressure on the ministers of Emperor Huangfu's dynasty in the main hall.
"Grandpa, you've broken through to the peak of the Mahayana stage?"
A hint of excitement flashed across Huangfu Sixuan's face as she spoke.
"It was just a lucky breakthrough when my lifespan was about to end!"
Huangfu Zhan said casually.
Although he spoke of it casually, Huangfu Sixuan knew just how dangerous it was.
Hundreds of years ago, Huangfu Zhan was ambushed by the Heavenly Fox Dynasty, which damaged his foundation and greatly shortened his lifespan.
At that time, they only had a few hundred years left to live.
The only way to prolong life is to break through a higher realm.
However, he did not have any children at that time, so he first gave birth to the late Emperor Huangfu, who was Huangfu Sixuan's father.
He then nurtured him into a qualified emperor before beginning his seclusion to break through his cultivation level.
At that time, Huangfu Sixuan was only seven or eight years old.
