Chapter 1978 - 1982: Imperial City Coalition Forces
Qin Tian learned about the citywide search for him within the Imperial City.
He scoffed, he was wearing a mask, would the Ice Emperor be catching ghosts?
Qin Tian went to the Gu’s Herbal Shop and obtained his "Lonely Wolf" identity plaque from Long Yin.
Lonely Wolf, Lonely Wolf, now that Xu Junwei is dead, he truly has become a lone wolf among Long Yin.
But he must continue fighting.
Very easily, Qin Tian left the Imperial City and returned to West Capital City.
However, when Qin Tian returned to West Capital City and had not yet rested for two days, news came again from the Imperial City.
The Ice Emperor and the Fourth Prince reached an agreement, with the utmost sincerity to unite the Demon Clan and Barbarian Clan, planning to attack West State together!
To deal with Qin Tian, the Ice Emperor even promised the Demon Clan and Barbarian Clan a grant of one million High Grade Spirit Stones, and moreover, as long as the Demon Clan and Barbarian Clan agreed to send troops, all military expenses would be covered by the Tianyuan Dynasty!
This news was obtained by Xiao Zhuang and also by Gongsun Third Madame, and together they passed it on to West Capital City, causing everyone within West Capital City to be shaken!
"It seems the Ice Emperor and the Fourth Prince’s intention to destroy me is undying! After all, they’re father and son, now that they see me growing strong, they decided to join forces to strike against me!"
Qin Tian gathered all his loyal generals for a meeting, his tone angry.
He knew that this time, the Ice Emperor was serious, and after reaching an agreement with the Fourth Prince, their target would surely be aimed at himself, the most pressing threat!
One must know, back when the War God threatened the Ice Emperor’s rule, apart from controlling the Ministry of War, he also commanded over fifty thousand troops from both the Imperial City and West State.
But now, Qin Tian has over sixty thousand troops!
And what’s more terrifying is that the Ice Emperor issued three decrees, all directly ignored by Qin Tian!
This is clearly defiance against the Ice Emperor’s rule!
The Ice Emperor most despises those with disloyal hearts.
"Boss, we have sixty thousand troops and are backed by the Demon Clan, essentially forming an alliance with the Demon Clan. The Ice Emperor making a move against us is only a matter of time."
Zhou Yang said, "I’m just curious now, how much force will the Ice Emperor use against us? Three armies will probably exceed one hundred thousand troops, right?"
"Damn, the Ice Emperor has repeatedly attempted to strike us, now with our sixty thousand troops, plus the Demon Clan’s army, we almost have one hundred thousand troops. Even if they bring a combined force of one hundred thousand, will we be afraid?"
Lin Yu said discontentedly, "The Ice Emperor and the Fourth Prince are both treacherous scoundrels, repeatedly trying to harm the boss, so why not simply rebel this time!"
Zuo Yuanhao said, "If we rebel, then we become rebels of the Tianyuan Dynasty. The Tianyuan Dynasty won’t tolerate us, taking this step requires caution. Boss, my suggestion is that we prepare defenses, watch and wait, respond as we see fit."
Zhou Yang nodded, "I also think watching and waiting is best. Let’s first see what hand the Ice Emperor will play, what’s his reason for attacking us."
Qin Tian nodded, in reality, besides taking the initiative to attack, they could only passively wait.
But Qin Tian knew very well that this time, it might be quite different from when the War God brought troops to attack him before.
With time, the Soul Suppressing Hall will surely slowly investigate all dynasty generals with the surname Qin, eventually casting the greatest suspicion on Qin Tian.
Once the Ice Emperor determines Qin Tian is Long Yin, then the Ice Emperor will undoubtedly send troops against Qin Tian without hesitation.
...
Three days later, Xiao Zhuang hurried to Qin Tian’s practice room, interrupting Qin Tian who was cultivating, saying, "Boss, I’ve received the latest news, besides uniting with the Demon Clan and Barbarian Clan, the Ice Emperor is also combining with the Dragon Clan, preparing to unite with three other major forces in Spiritual Domain to attack us!"
Qin Tian, who was meditating, was startled upon hearing this.
In Spiritual Domain, in terms of comprehensive strength, apart from the Tianyuan Dynasty, the Dragon Clan is the strongest.
Especially after Dragon Clan Queen Long Tianwu took control of the Dragon Clan, they became powerful and long aspired to the East State of the Tianyuan Dynasty.
If the Ice Emperor decides to join forces with the Dragon Clan against him now, this matter becomes troublesome.
"The Dragon Clan and the Tianyuan Dynasty are sworn enemies, how can the Ice Emperor swallow his pride to seek an alliance with the Dragon Clan? Is he signing some humiliating treaty?"
Qin Tian sneered, and stood up.
Xiao Zhuang followed behind Qin Tian, saying, "It seems the Ice Emperor truly regards us as the most serious threat now. I estimate he will offer great benefits to the Dragon Clan, as long as they’re willing to send troops to assist."
"Furthermore, that Dragon Clan’s Long Tianwu is no easy character. Her reaction is really hard to predict."
Xiao Zhuang seemed also worried, "Boss, what should we do, we can’t just sit and wait to die. If the Dragon Clan is willing to send troops, we will certainly be defeated."
If the Ice Emperor can unite all Spiritual Domain forces except the Demon Clan to attack West State, indeed, West State would be completely indefensible.
"I won’t let such a thing happen."
Qin Tian’s eyes were resolute, he immediately found Zhou Yang and Zuo Yuanhao, and the three of them discussed countermeasures.
Ultimately, Qin Tian decided to follow Zuo Yuanhao’s previous strategy of repelling multiple armies, sending envoys separately to the Demon Clan, Barbarian Clan, and Dragon Clan, to persuade these three forces not to cooperate with the Ice Emperor in sending troops.
This open and covert struggle rapidly turned into diplomatic tension once the Ice Emperor learned West State sent envoys.
The Ice Emperor further concluded that since Qin Tian so feared the Imperial City’s deployment and secretly contacted other forces, it further solidified the suspicion that Qin Tian was Long Yin.
Although there’s no evidence, the Ice Emperor’s intention to kill Qin Tian was already decided.
West State and Imperial City repeatedly sent envoys to the Dragon Clan and others to meet their rulers, but this time Qin Tian was at a disadvantage.
After all, the Ice Emperor represents the highest authority of the Tianyuan Dynasty, the benefits he could offer, Qin Tian could not.
Moreover, the three forces naturally preferred to detail, seeing the conflict between Qin Tian and the Ice Emperor as futile resistance, ultimately certain the Ice Emperor would be the victor.
Thus, they all chose to aid the victor.
When the three envoys returned to West Capital in defeat, Qin Tian was anxious this time.
One person, no matter how strong you are, outnumbered is inevitable, this is fate.
Furthermore, among those three armies and the Imperial City, there are also experts everywhere.
"Boss, what now? Damn it, those people all crave the benefits!" Lin Yu was very angry, but facing the reality of several major forces forming an alliance with the Imperial City, he felt powerless.
"It seems their joint military action can’t be stopped by us."
Qin Tian took a deep breath.
Lin Yu asked anxiously, "Could the Ice Emperor deal with us like he did with the War God?"
Qin Tian said, "I’m not the War God. He wants to fight me with schemes and battle me with strength, I’m prepared to accompany him all the way!"
Qin Tian showed a trace of harshness on his face at this moment.
