From Cold Palace Princess to Celestial Empress Ch. 182
It wasn’t that the nine nations were particularly united or loyal to each other.
If Lei Zhen’s collusion with the evil forces was confirmed, their joint attack on the Fire Dragon Kingdom would likely implicate them as well.
Whether Lei Zhen was an evil force or not didn’t really matter; what mattered was that they couldn’t be dragged into it.
Xiao Minghuang could easily guess their thoughts. She glanced at the remaining people, seeing that they had no connection to the evil forces, and waved her hand dismissively:
“The rest of this matter has nothing to do with you. Gather your troops and return to your respective countries!”
The Spirit Seed cultivators from the eight nations immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But.
Xiao Minghuang’s next words made them tense up again.
“Once this matter is settled, I invite you all to gather in the capital of Xia. I have something to inform you about.”
Hearing this, the faces of the Spirit Seed cultivators from the eight nations changed.
As expected.
This Princess of Xia had ulterior motives!
It was likely a trap; if they went, they might never return.
Thus, even though Xiao Minghuang had said she would let them go, the Spirit Seed cultivators from the eight nations hesitated to leave.
If they could unite and defeat the Xia group…
Seeing that the Spirit Seed cultivators from the eight nations were still lingering, Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly and scolded:
“Why are you still here? Leave at once! Do you need me to personally escort you?!”
This wasn’t out of kindness on Xiao Minghuang’s part. The methods of the evil forces often involved absorbing the flesh and blood of cultivators to strengthen themselves.
If these Spirit Seed cultivators, who had little combat power, stayed, they would only become nourishment for the evil forces.
However, just as the Spirit Seed cultivators from the eight nations were hesitating.
Boom!!
A thunderous explosion suddenly rang out in the sky.
“Do not worry, I am here!”
A golden figure, like a bolt of lightning, streaked across the sky and arrived before the crowd in an instant.
“Dragon-Tiger Sect Master, it’s you!”
Xiao Minghuang’s expression turned serious. She had long anticipated that the Dragon-Tiger Sect Master was the backer of the Nine-Nation Alliance and had prepared accordingly.
“Indeed, Princess of Xia, it’s been a while!”
