Chapter 759 (Mu Ran's Courage)
To start a war, one needs a reason, and Xia Yu is the perfect reason. He is the legitimate heir of the Valoris, and now he can help him reclaim the kingdom and kill the rebels!
Of course, there was another thought.
"Saintess, I command you to lead a hundred thousand elite soldiers to reclaim Valoris!" In the past, Mu Ran received orders to resist foreign invasions, which was an obligation, but today, they were going to invade another country.
Mu Ran respectfully said, "Your Majesty, three years ago, the Valoris ceased to be an affiliated state of the Divine Steppes, so this is not reclaiming, it is invasion."
With Mu Ran's words, everyone's faces changed drastically!
The Saintess openly offended His Majesty! This was a grave crime!
Mu Anguo, who was among the crowd, also looked ashen. As expected, his daughter had spoken up...
Ding Wenfu seized the opportunity and shouted angrily, "Saintess! How dare you refuse His Majesty's command! You are disrespectful to His Majesty!"
Feng Yong Chang remained silent with a stern face. In fact, he was already angry. Mu Ran's position in his heart had changed long ago. Since the day she became a Heavenly Dao Warrior, he no longer trusted her.
"I dare not! Your Majesty, the situation is still unclear. I ask for your permission to go alone for negotiations!" Mu Ran's words stirred a heated discussion in the hall.
Going alone for negotiations was risky. She might not come back alive! The Saintess was too audacious!
Mu Ran just wanted to see for herself. She wanted to know if the Voidless Empire was good or bad, and whether the people there had grievances.
If they were harsh rulers, Mu Ran would not hesitate to lead the troops in an attack. However, if the people there were thriving and content, why start a war?
After all, three years ago, the Divine Steppes had already abandoned Valoris and had no need to intervene now.
Kneeling on the ground, Xia Yu cursed silently. His Majesty had already ordered her to lead the troops! She dared to go against the imperial decree and insisted on going alone!
Feng Yong Chang pondered for a moment and said indifferently, "Has the Saintess made up her mind?"
"Your Majesty, I have made up my mind. I request your permission," Mu Ran respectfully said, bowing on the ground.
"Very well! I will command you to negotiate with the Voidless Empire! We will discuss the matter when the Saintess returns!" Feng Yong Chang's gaze was deep, and it seemed that he didn't want Mu Ran to come back. That would be the best outcome.
The Heavenly Dao expert was beyond his reach, and others wouldn't have a chance either!
"Long live Your Majesty!"
As Feng Yong Chang left, the gazes of the people towards Mu Ran changed. If she had agreed to lead the troops in an attack and returned victorious, His Majesty would have been delighted. However, she chose to offend His Majesty and go alone, risking her life.
They really couldn't understand what the Saintess was thinking.
Mu Anguo walked forward and helped his daughter up. "Silly child, why didn't you agree to His Majesty?"
"Father, I thought you understood me," Mu Ran said softly, causing Mu Anguo to pause, his expression showing some astonishment.
In the past, both he and his daughter shared the same thoughts and often discussed various matters. But now... in order to please His Majesty, things have changed...
Looking at his daughter's lonely figure, Mu Anguo took a deep breath and caught up to her.
Tang Wei anxiously waited, and Cang Konghong held the horse, looking up at the sky as if thinking about someone.
As people gradually came out, Tang Wei noticed that their faces showed both smiles and seriousness, and she couldn't figure out what had happened.
After a long wait, she finally spotted Mu Ran's figure. "Miss."
Tang Wei hurriedly walked over, feeling a bit worried for her little sister.
"Tang Wei, let's go home first."
Tang Wei noticed that Mu Ran seemed very tired at the moment, even her tone was weary.
When Mu Anguo arrived, the three of them got into the carriage, and Cang Konghong acted as the coachman.
Inside the carriage, Mu Anguo looked at his daughter and asked softly, "Tomorrow, I will plead with His Majesty again."
"Father, there's no need. Tomorrow, I will set out for the Voidless Empire," Mu Ran said calmly.
Tang Wei's face showed astonishment. Mu Ran was going to the Voidless Empire! And it sounded like she was going alone!
Good Lord! Mu Ran was so daring!
Tang Wei was truly impressed at this point. Such a girl was truly rare.
However, according to His Majesty's plan, Mu Ran should have led the troops this time, not gone alone. It seemed to have deviated...
This was a bit troublesome...
"Ran'er, if you go like this..." Mu Anguo knew the consequences; once she left, he might never see his daughter again.
"Father, don't tell Mother about this, so she won't worry. Don't worry, I'll be fine. After all, I'm a Heavenly Dao Warrior; it's not that easy for something to happen to me!" Mu Ran appeared confident, but this was for her father's sake. She had no idea about the situation in the Voidless Empire, and this was walking into the lion's den.
As she finished speaking, the horse suddenly let out a roar.
"Father, Tang Wei, don't go outside!" Mu Ran's beautiful eyes constricted. As she stepped out of the carriage, ten black-clad figures appeared around her, wielding shiny knives, exuding a chilling aura!
Cang Konghong stood beside the carriage, calmly observing.
"Masters!" Mu Ran said in a low voice, sensing danger! [Fighter, Warrior, Master, Grandmaster, King, Emperor, Order, God, Venerable, and Heavenly Venerable]
Masters were highly esteemed individuals, so how did they end up as assassins!
One of them laughed, "Indeed, you are the Heavenly Dao Warrior Saintess. You saw through our strength at a glance!"
"Who sent you?" Mu Ran asked coldly, though she held little hope.
"What's the use of knowing or not? It doesn't matter now! Kill her!" One of the assailants coldly shouted, and the ten black-clad figures immediately erupted with surging battle energy, all attacking Mu Ran.
Their target was clear, without any hesitation.
Mu Ran's gaze turned sharp as she conjured a blue longsword in her hand.
Inside the carriage, Tang Wei felt nervous, not for herself, but for Mu Ran. She hoped she wouldn't get hurt.
With Cang Konghong outside protecting them, there shouldn't be any problems, but Cang Konghong's strength was that of a warrior. If he revealed his true prowess, it would be easy to be discovered.
Mu Anguo was extremely worried for his daughter, clenching his fists tightly.
"Cang Konghong, protect the carriage! Leave this to me!" Mu Ran shouted at Cang Konghong and wielded her blue longsword. As a Heavenly Dao Warrior, she did have the strength to face Battle Masters!
However, even though Mu Ran was formidable, she was still up against ten Masters. Ultimately, she would be killed!
"Snow Dancing!" Mu Ran shouted, and her whole figure seemed to become an illusion, accompanied by afterimages. However, these afterimages seemed slow...
This made the ten Masters frown, realising that Heavenly Dao Warriors were indeed powerful. This was an extraordinary martial technique!
Their guess was correct. In the midst of this slow movement, Mu Ran suddenly accelerated and directly slashed the throat of one of the Masters.
Mu Ran's breathing became somewhat rapid; this move consumed too much energy, but she managed to kill one!
Just as Mu Ran was beginning to relax, she suddenly felt a surge of killing intent behind her. Moonlight illuminated a silver blade, shining brightly!
This blade was aimed straight at Mu Ran's head!
