Chapter 1168 - Luckily, you're called Little Ten

Translator: Aran

The large-scale transfer of the Zhenyuan army was simply difficult to hide from anybody.

More importantly, King Zhenyuan, from the moment of withdrawal, also did not want to conceal anything. A number of battleships like a flock of crows blotted out the sky. Across the void, even hundreds of kilometers away, it still could be seen clearly.

It was clearly the result that no one expected.

Because before this, the stance that King Zhenyuan showed was as though he would not return to the capital without extinguishing the entire Fire Province. One day ago, the Zhenyuan army was most likely still in full preparation for the attack. Therefore, after receiving the order to withdraw, it was said that many senior generals in the army were stunned and had to repeatedly confirm with others before they withdrew the troops.

The news broke out, shaking all parties.

Whatever the truth was, the withdrawal of troops, in the eyes of the outside world, meant that the camp's crackdown on the rebel bandits had failed, and indicated that the Fire Province's bandit Xiaofei had successfully defeated the camp's army. Thereby, setting an unbelievable example that had not happened in thousands of years.

Because before this, no matter which province, after a rebellion had happened, all were easily extinguished by the camp's army like a small flame. The authority of the camp was absolute. They stood high and mighty and would not waver in the slightest.

But the battle of the Fire Province had exposed something.

For a moment, there were all sorts of spirited discussion.

And the legendary stories regarding the chief bandit Xiaofei of the Fire Province began to spread frantically.

It was already a miracle that the chief bandit who many aristocrats thought would certainly be dead had repelled the Zhenyuan army.

But few people knew that Li Xiaofei, who was situated in the center of the Fire Province, after hearing the news of the withdrawal of the Zhenyuan army, was not happy but instead very disappointed.

“The pockets have been opened, Yuan Wenjun had already stepped one foot in, and as long as his other foot also steps in, we can eat a mouthful of big fat. Unfortunately, he had fled. Could he have sensed something?”

[Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] looked incredibly disappointed at the formation sand table in the main hall.

If the Zhenyuan army was successfully wiped out, for the Fire Province, it would no doubt be enough to deter the entire Dark Realm, as well as make the other aristocrats that were considering to attack the Fire Province weigh up whether their teeth were hard enough. It would also greatly boost the military weapons, equipment, military capital and various supplies of the newly formed Raging Flame army of the Fire Province.

Unfortunately, just as victory was before his eyes, King Zhenyuan Yuan Wenjun had unexpectedly withdrawn his troops and returned to the capital.

It was a real pity.

“Woof, I feel that there is a traitor among us.” A white puppy leapt onto the edge of the sand table, grunting, “Woof wants to eat, those little snacks had unexpectedly ran off... someone must have tipped them off.”

The little dog's cute eyes spun around and around as he looked at the others in the hall.

No matter who it was, when the gaze of the little cute pet swept across them, they immediately felt a chill running down their spine. In particular, the aristocrats of the Fire Province that were forced to surrender, were shivering all over.

Especially when they heard the words ‘those little snack’. In his eyes the main battle department of the Guardian camp, the Zhenyuan army, was nothing more than a bunch of snacks.

Yes, they were all food, all delicious food.

But they were not surprised at all, nor did they feel he was too arrogant.

Because they deeply understood that the dog called Little Nine appeared to be a harmless little white dog on the surface, but was in fact, the most terrifying demon in the entire Fire Province. So far, there had already been three Quasi-emperors that were eaten alive by this cute-looking dog, and digested into faeces.

It was no exaggeration to say that the dog's ferocity had reached the point of number one in the Fire Province. Even Li Xiaofei, who ruled the Raging Flames army of the Fire Province, was not as ruthless as this dog.

What was even more unbelievable was that, according to the dog's arrogant words, he seemed to have a master known as the Killing God. He was a real terrifying existence, and even at the mention of his master the dog revealed a look of anticipation and also fear.

So before that, whenever Li Xiaofei, who now ruled the Fire Province, couldn't control the dog, he just needed to say, ‘if you're disobedient I will go back and tell your master,’ for the dog to be much more obedient than before.

“Well, don't scare them, these are talents, I have a use for them.”

[Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] cast a glance at the little white dog.

In truth, he was still a little afraid the little dog would swallow all the masters, experts and strategists in the main hall——This was definitely something that he absolutely could do.

Speaking of which, [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] also did not expect to see Ye Qingyu’s silly dog again in the Dark Realm. Adding to this, his strength had unexpectedly improved so much, able to swallow even Quasi-emperor realm experts.

The events of his encounter with Little Nine was also full of drama.

One year ago, just as he arrived at the Fire Province, he inadvertently passed by an area ruled by the dark beasts. It was there that he saw this little white dog, and discovered that he had unexpectedly turned to banditry. The dog claimed to be a heavenly dog Quasi-emperor, recruited a group of emperor-level dark beasts as little brothers, and had set up a mountain stronghold and territory.

Later, Li Xiaofei took action in the Fire Province, killed many government officials, and Little Nine and his younger brothers also came to help. Under his leadership, the group of emperor-level dark beasts was unexpectedly very disciplined, like an army, and had contributed greatly in the process of occupying the Fire Province.

Later, [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] asked how Little Nine managed to do this.

“The method is very simple, haha, all disobedient beasts will be eaten by woof...” he proudly told him the answer.

[Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] was speechless.

Little Nine was undoubtedly a weirdo.

The problem was that, so far, [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] couldn’t see what the dog’s real lineage was——He could not be a native dog, and must be a species with the blood of some primitive eternal life or the blood of a divine beast flowing in his body.

The main hall was extremely quiet.

Suddenly, someone from the outside came to report back.

“Lord, there is an envoy of a foreign province here,” a guard informed loudly.

An envoy from a foreign state?

[Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] was taken aback for a moment.

The Fire Province was now a rebellion province in the Dark Realm, and other provinces avoided them like the plague, fearing of being linked with the Fire Province. How would there be an envoy of a foreign province here?

He waved his hand.

The civil and military officials in the main hall all walked out in a line.

Only the little white dog remained behind.

Of course, [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] would not send him away, and ordered the guard to bring the envoy of the foreign province in.

A tall figure in a black cloak came in, followed by a surging ocean-like dark force, deep and immeasurable like the eye of the sea. The whole hall was instantly filled with great pressure, that ordinary people simply could not feel. Only a Quasi-emperor-level expert could sense this terrifying aura.

[Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] cast a sidelong glance at him.

Little Nine twitched his nose, and was no longer as nonchalant as before. His body was slightly arched, and the corners of his mouth pulled back, revealing his sharp fangs.

This so-called envoy was definitely a terrifying expert.

“Envoy of the Luoshen Ridge of the Earth Province pays respect to [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei].” The burly figure bowed his head, seemingly very respectful.

“You are too polite.” [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] asked frankly, “Luoshen Ridge? I have heard about it before... speak, who sent you here?” It was understandable that [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] asked this question, since the present Fire Province can be said to be an enemy of the entire world, and the Luoshen Ridge was no exception. It was indeed strange for an envoy to be sent here. Could it be that there were some little aristocrats in the Earth Province hoping to take advantage of the Fire Province to achieve some sort of purpose?”

The burly figure slightly bowed his head. “I am called Little Ten, after Lord takes a look at this document, you will understand who sent me down here.”

As he spoke, he gave a respectful cupped fist salute and handed over a leaf.

It was a bright red leaf.

[Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] received the leaf, slightly surprised to find that it was not something that can grow in the Dark Realm. It was somewhat familiar, but for a moment he could not recognize what it was.

“Woof, fire leaf?” Little Nine was the first to react. He very excitedly jumped up, catching the leaf with his paw, exclaiming, “This is a fire leaf, which only grows on the fire tree in the Underground Fire Sword Pit of the Light City in the Snow capital... Woof, who are you?”

The silly dog stared fiercely at the dark, burly figure.

[Quasi-emperor Xiaofei]'s eyes lit up. “Your name is Little Ten? The ten of seven, eight, nine, ten?”

“Correct,” the figure answered respectfully.

“Haha, well, I think I know who you are. I did not expect him to come to the Dark Realm... Well, it makes sense though.” There was an undisguisable smiling expression within [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei's] eyes.

“Could it be master?” Silly dog wagged his tail with joy.

He was not really silly, and understood right away.

If this dark figure was really sent by Ye Qingyu, then he was completely trustworthy. One fire leaf was enough to explain everything.

“Why didn't he come himself?” the silly dog asked impatiently, jumping up and down, and wagging his tail.

“Master has another important matter to deal with and cannot leave at the moment.” In the eyes of the Whitte-boned Earth Dragon, everything that Ye Qingyu did was important matters. “Master is now in the Guardian Royal City. He ordered me to convey a message and bring something.”

As he spoke, he took out a sealed ring from the storage space and presented it to [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei].

[Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] opened the ring, which contained a letter written by Ye Qingyu. It was sealed by a formation that only the two of them knew. After uncovering the seal, the letter gave a detailed account of everything that had happened in Luoshen Ridge, including the existence of the cosmic light brain [The Beginning], as well as some of the secrets of the Earth Province civilization.

“To think there would be such a matter.”

[Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] couldn’t help sighing after he read it.

In particular, he was greatly shaken by the power of the weapons of the Earth Province's civilization.

Now the Luoshen Ridge has become an unknown dragon abyss, with terrifying equipment. If everything was true, it definitely was not in the slightest weaker than the present Fire Province. Adding to this, the outside world did not know anything about it. It seems that this [Ice Sword Killing God] had unconsciously caused a big problem again.

In the letter, Ye Qingyu proposed that the Fire Province and the Luoshen Ridge could support each other. Many of the suggestions were made after countless analysis and calculations, and were absolutely feasible. In particular, the proposals regarding the infrastructure of the Fire Province and government decree were absolutely superior and advanced.

For [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei], this was definitely considered as delivering fuel in snowy weather.

His strength, talent and wisdom, of course, were unparalleled. If he were to rule the Fire Province for a long period of time, he naturally would be able to straighten out everything; however, the ruling of a large nation was similar to cooking a small delicacy. The present situation was different, he was not given an adequate amount of time to do these things. If he were to immerse in this kind of administrative government affairs, it would be difficult for the Fire Province to last in the long run. Now, as Ye Qingyu had mentioned, the establishment of electricity generating plants within the Fire Province, and then networking that will be controlled by [The Beginning], was definitely the most efficient and absolutely effective plan.

Then, [Qusai-Emperor Xiaofei], whose hands would be free, would have more energy and time to do more high-minded types of things.

Soon, Little Nine also figured out the causes and consequences of the matter.

But his focus was completely different from that of [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei].

“Woof, did you just say you’re called Little Ten?” He stared at the dark burly figure.

“Correct.” Little Ten bowed respectfully.

For some reason, being stared at by the dog, there was a bone-chilling feeling, as if the shadow of death would come at any moment. He realized that the dog's strength had increased greatly than before.

Little Nine looked at him for a good while, before he said triumphantly, “Fortunately, your name is Little Ten, which means your seniority is lower than I. If you were called Little Two or Little Three or even Little Eight, Woof must swallow you today and then go reason with that heartless master. He knows that woof is in the Fire Province but he didn't come to find woof. Humph!”

……

Three days later.

The atmosphere was incredibly tensed in the Guardian Royal City.

Because there was already a message that the army of King Zhenyuan was only ten thousand kilometers away from the Royal City.

Thinking of the recent events, who wouldn’t know that King Zhenyuan was returning with monstrous killing intent. Once the Zhenyuan army returns and King Zhenyuan enters the city, he will certainly go retaliate against the [Military Judge of the Nine Swords] Zhang Longcheng right away. At that time, an earth-shaking battle would certainly break out.

And the news that King Zhenyuan terminated the subjugation of the Fire Province because of personal matters had also set off stormy wave-like discussion in Royal City. The great aristocratic forces all had different views. Therefore, King Zhenyuan most likely will need to give an explanation to the aristocrats of Royal City.

In short, a terrible storm was coming——
