Chapter 435: This Dragon Robe Suits You Well
After killing some of the most troublesome Void Realm experts and destroying some of the royal halls of Heavenly Fiend Hall, Lin Fengmian went into hiding once again.
His swift and decisive actions had indeed intimidated the petty troublemakers and opportunistic cultivators.
Especially after learning that even a Supreme Being couldn’t suppress him, they all trembled in fear.
Various forces began to watch the conflict between Heavenly Fiend Hall and Lin Fengmian, not daring to act rashly.
They thought that they could wait until this guy was finally killed by a supreme being before they swooped in to dismantle the Junyan Empire.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Fiend Sovereign was furious. After all, everyone was basically laughing at him.
If he couldn’t kill this brat soon, his reputation and that of the Heavenly Fiend Hall would be ruined.
He gave a strict order to the Moon Shadow Dynasty, a vassal of the Heavenly Fiend Hall: use any means necessary to get rid of this kid. I want him dead!
The Moon Shadow Blade Emperor of the Moon Shadow Dynasty directly challenged Lin Fengmian, daring him to come face to face with him instead of picking off small fry that tainted the dignity of a saint.
Although Lin Fengmian wanted to kill him, he wasn’t foolish enough to fall for such a trap.
After all, the Heavenly Fiend Sovereign was undoubtedly waiting for him there.
Lin Fengmian ignored the Moon Shadow Blade Emperor’s challenge, but he was still worried about how to eliminate him.
Seeing that his taunts had no effect, the Moon Shadow Blade Emperor ordered an invasion of the Junyan Empire and began to annex the Jun Dynasty’s territory.
At the same time, rebellions broke out throughout the Jun Dynasty at his instigation.
He hoped to force Lin Fengmian to step in and turn the tide, but he underestimated the legacy left by Jun Lingtian in the Junyan Empire.
The Junyan Empire quickly rallied and resisted the Moon Shadow Dynasty’s advance, leading to a stalemate in the Western Desert.
Lin Fengmian wasn’t surprised. After all, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse.
But what left him completely stunned was that Jun Yunshang had decided to personally lead the campaign!
Upon hearing this news, both Lin Fengmian and the Moon Shadow Dynasty were stunned.
Had Jun Yunshang lost her mind?
Was she going to the front to be a mascot or a burden?
The Moon Shadow Dynasty burst out laughing, making all kinds of mocking and insulting remarks.
Was this new empress planning to boost morale by seducing our soldiers with her beauty and charm?
Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but frown as he remembered the historical records.
Empress Fengyao personally led the campaign against the Moon Shadow Dynasty in the Western Desert!
When he first read this in the history books, he found it utterly unbelievable.
How could the gentle and shy Yunshang personally lead a campaign?
So, in his advice to her, he hadn’t mentioned anything about her leading the campaign. Yet, this bizarre event had happened.
How could this harmless little girl suddenly become so brave?
The enemy had a saint!
Were you forced by the rules of the world?
Lin Fengmian couldn’t afford to wait any longer. He rushed to the Western Desert for fear that Jun Yunshang might be captured.
Western Desert, Pingzhao City
Jun Yunshang stood in the temporary palace with her generals, studying the sand map of the Western Desert deep in thought.
Wei Ting and Zhao Ban stood behind her, along with a masked man secretly providing protection.
The generals argued fiercely in front of Jun Yunshang, their faces flushed and voices raised, debating whether the Moon Shadow Dynasty would attack Pingyang City or Xinxiu City.
With the three cities of Longxi already in the hands of the enemy, losing another key city would put them at a severe disadvantage.
But now, the Moon Shadow Dynasty had blocked all communication channels, leaving them unable to receive any intelligence from their spies. They were on the defensive.
The Moon Shadow Dynasty was clearly focused on a blitzkrieg strategy, but the Jun Dynasty had to defend two cities.
Most generals believed that the enemy would target Pingyang City, which was more convenient for troop deployment, while some argued that the strategically important Xinxiu City couldn’t be ignored either.
Jun Yunshang recalled the advice Lin Fengmian had left her and suddenly spoke with a firm voice, “Keep half of our forces in Pingyang City for defense and station the main force in Xinxiu City!”
An old general in the army couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “Your Majesty, the terrain in Xinxiu City is already treacherous. There is no need to station such a large force there!”
Jun Yunshang calmly replied, “Do as I say.”
The other generals wanted to argue further. After all, when this Empress first arrived, she couldn’t even read a sand map!
You’re an amateur trying to manage professionals. This will end in disaster!
“This time, listen to me! If my judgment is wrong, I will never interfere again, and I will fully delegate authority to all of you generals!”
With Jun Yunshang’s words, the generals had no choice but to comply.
Who could argue with the Holy Emperor?
Some of the older generals were so frustrated that they feigned illness and resigned on the spot.
That night, Jun Yunshang sat in the courtyard and stared at the moon in a daze.
She was well aware of the discontent within the army, but she firmly believed in the advice Lin Fengmian had left her. After all, it had already proven to be true in so many instances.
Thinking of Lin Fengmian, she couldn’t help but sigh softly.
Where is he now?
Could he be nearby, waiting for the right moment to act?
Just then, a dark mist began to seep into the courtyard, quickly enveloping the entire area.
“Be careful!”
Jun Aoshi and Zhao Ban, who had been secretly protecting her, instantly appeared in front of Jun Yunshang, their eyes scanning the surroundings.
Jun Yunshang also stood up nervously and looked around in confusion.
“It’s me.”
A familiar voice emerged from the shadows, causing Jun Yunshang to freeze for a moment before relaxing.
She stared intently into the dark mist as a man dressed in black slowly walked out.
It was the person she had been longing for.
Lin Fengmian frowned slightly as he noticed Jun Aoshi, whose face was disfigured.
Why is he here?
But it seemed that Jun Yunshang hadn’t completely lost her mind. At least, she had brought enough powerful protectors with her.
Besides Wei Ting outside and Zhao Ban by her side, she had even brought Jun Aoshi, who should have been in a death cell.
“Gentlemen, could you give us a moment alone?”
Jun Aoshi and Zhao Ban looked at Jun Yunshang, who waved her hand and said, “You may leave for now.”
Jun Aoshi and Zhao Ban nodded and silently disappeared into the darkness.
Lin Fengmian looked at Jun Yunshang, who was dressed in a red dragon robe, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of disorientation.
As a woman, Jun Yunshang’s dragon robes were specially tailored dresses, each with a unique design.
This one wasn’t as grand as the one she’d worn during her coronation, but it was distinctive in its own way.
The off-the-shoulder gown exuded a sense of majesty and stability, while the uneven hemline flowed like clouds on the ground, revealing a glimpse of her fair and delicate calves.
It was regal without being cumbersome, highlighting her youthful vitality – a stark contrast to the mature and domineering image in the Portrait of a Hundred Beauties.
Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but compliment her, “This dragon robe suits you well. You truly look like an empress who rules the world.”
Jun Yunshang turned her face away and snorted, “So what?”
You’re not going to be influenced by me just because I’m wearing this dragon robe, are you?
Lin Fengmian didn’t know what she was thinking, or else he would have told her honestly:
I’m already influenced even without the robe. It’s just that I’m powerless to act on it.
He sat down and asked with a frown, “Why did you decide to lead the campaign personally?”
Jun Yunshang gracefully sat beside him, trying to calm her emotions and maintain a professional demeanor.
“If I didn’t personally lead the campaign, how could I lure out the Moon Shadow Blade Emperor?”
Lin Fengmian was stunned for a moment, but then he quickly understood the key point.
So, for my sake, she personally led the campaign!
She was smarter than he had ever imagined. She had guessed what he was trying to do and had actively taken on the pressure to help him.
But, little girl, that’s a saint we’re dealing with!
