After ascending to the throne and completing the coronation ceremony, Jiang HuanYu received urgent news: the emperor of the Grand Dream Dynasty was personally leading his forces to attack the Jiang Dynasty.
In the grand hall, Jiang HuanYu immediately issued orders:
"Left Minister, you and Grand Marshal Tie Poyun will personally lead a 500,000-strong army to the battlefield to confront the Grand Dream Dynasty."
"In addition, I will assign three God-Slaying Guards to assist you. Do not disappoint me."
Hearing this, the Left Minister was overjoyed and said excitedly, "Rest assured, Your Majesty! With the help of your three God-Slaying Guards, I will surely deliver the head of Xiao Tianding to you!"
"Good. I await your victorious return."
With their spirits high, the Left Minister and Tie Poyun left the grand hall.
Jiang HuanYu then turned to King Tianyu:
"Currently, in the southern border of the Jiang Dynasty, several first-rate factions are trying to exploit our internal strife to claim territory."
"Now that I have taken the throne, I will not give them the opportunity."
"I assign one God-Slaying Guard to assist you. Take control of those factions' territories. If they refuse to submit to the Jiang Dynasty, show no mercy."
"From now on, any faction that dares to hinder the expansion of the Jiang Dynasty will face only one outcome, death!"
Jiang HuanYu's tone was decisive as he issued the order. He hadn't forgotten that expanding the dynasty's prestige was crucial to earning rewards from the system.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
King Tianyu wasted no words. With a God-Slaying Guard by his side, he had no doubts about success. After all, the strongest of those factions were only at the mid-Earth Realm, and with a Peak Earth Realm powerhouse aiding him, victory was assured.
Three Days Later
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Jiang Dynasty Prestige Value has increased by 120.
Current Prestige Value: 1320.]
[Ding! Reward Package Delivered!]
Inside his chambers, Jiang HuanYu received the system notification.
He calculated that the increase in prestige must have been due to King Tianyu's success in dealing with the southern factions.
"System, open the reward package!"
Without hesitation, Jiang HuanYu activated the reward.
**[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have received:
One Grade-5 Dao Comprehension PillOne Half-Saint Level Palace Protection FormationOne General Feipeng.]**
"General Feipeng?!"
Jiang HuanYu was momentarily stunned.
Before he could fully process whether this was the Feipeng he imagined, the rewards were delivered.
Swish!
In an instant, a pill and a miniature formation appeared in Jiang HuanYu's hand.
Additionally, a figure materialized before hima man clad in silver-white armor, holding a demon-subduing sword. He had sharp brows, a prominent nose, piercing eyes, and an aura of distant aloofness.
"Holy it's really General Feipeng!"
Jiang HuanYu was both shocked and thrilled. He hadn't expected the system to summon Feipeng.
"Feipeng greets the Master!"
As a summoned entity of the system, General Feipeng's loyalty was absolute. He immediately saluted Jiang HuanYu.
"No need for formalities, General. Please rise."
Jiang HuanYu motioned for him to stand.
"System, open Feipeng's information panel!"
[Name: Feipeng]
[Treasures: Celestial Silver Armor, Demon-Subduing Sword]
[Aptitude: Boundless]
[Physique: Unyielding Divine Physique]
[Destiny Luck Value: 98]
[Cultivation Realm: Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Realm]
Seeing this information, Jiang HuanYu was ecstatic. The grin on his face was uncontrollable, it was as if he had struck gold.
"Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Realm only one step away from the Half-Saint level."
"With Feipeng's exceptional aptitude, his combat prowess must be extraordinary. With him, few factions in the Northern Domain will be able to stop the Jiang Dynasty's march."
Jiang HuanYu was overjoyed as he examined the other two rewards:
Grade-5 Dao Comprehension Pill: A pill that could help a peak Earth Realm cultivator break through to the Heavenly Realm without any side effects.Half-Saint Level Palace Protection Formation: A formation capable of withstanding attacks from cultivators up to the Half-Saint level.
After understanding the rewards, Jiang HuanYu was very pleased.
He immediately set up the Palace Protection Formation within the Jiang Royal Palace and officially granted General Feipeng the title of Grand Protector General to safeguard the palace.
As for Jiang HuanYu himself, he used his Heavenly Realm strength to leave the Jiang Dynasty overnight, heading straight for the Grand Dream Dynasty.
Inside the Grand Dream Dynasty's Palace
In the chambers of the Third Princess Xiao Qingli, the princess sat gracefully in her room, dressed in a shimmering blue gown.
Her appearance was ethereal, with flawless skin, a slender waist, and alluring curves. She was breathtakingly beautiful.
However, despite her beauty, a cold aura emanated from her, making her seem like an untouchable ice queen.
Her eyes sparkled with frost, reflecting an unyielding resolve.
"Who would have thought that just as my memories awakened, I would be faced with such a situation?"
"Grand Dream Dynasty, you truly are something," Xiao Qingli murmured, her gaze filled with pure killing intent and anger.
As the third princess of the Grand Dream Dynasty, her memories had only recently awakened, revealing her true identity.
