Chapter 61 - 61 49 Arrival of the Purple Emperor

?Chapter 61: Chapter 49: Arrival of the Purple Emperor Chapter 61: Chapter 49: Arrival of the Purple Emperor It wasn’t merely that something felt off with Miao Sensen, the entire Feiyi Hall seemed off as well.

Things were going astray.

Originally, the news of the man’s death should have been a perfect diversion against the Rainbow in Green; it would certainly provoke retaliation, but it also might divert their attention.

What’s more, just by creating some commotion, we might even lure them out.

And this would aid us to carry out our tasks, gather intel, infiltrate, and plot assassinations more conveniently.

The fury of the enemy is always an emotion we can capitalize on.

The more important thing is that it would make it easier for us to find and investigate this divine doctor. Once found, it would be a colossal boon to the entire Great Yan.

All of these benefits came from a single calm and composed phrase from Miao Sensen.

But fate has a funny way of doing things, just as Wu Tiejun left, news about the military situation in the South came. The Qi army had actually been defeated at this crucial moment!

This put Great Yan in a difficult position. At the very least, a full military preparation and heightened border security were necessary.

Ready for any potential invasion, and consequently launching a full-scale intelligence operation, it was then that news of the divine doctor’s death was relayed back.

This will undoubtedly infuriate the people of Rainbow in Green.

And when they explode, they retaliate, and the primary target of their revenge will be the spies of the Great Yan Kingdom. Just when the spies needed to take action due to this sudden, life-threatening development!

This was completely opposite to the plan of luring the enemy out and seizing the opportunity.

This was like shouting out to your enemies to come and fish in exactly the spot where you had your fish!

And yet, this wasn’t even the worst of it.

The truly worst part was, just as we were about to leave, an old lady appeared out of nowhere.

The old woman threatened us, both openly and subtly.

Thus… dammit, we couldn’t kill the doctor when we found him, nor could we use brute force.

However, I must say, the mysterious nature of this old woman makes it clear that she is no walkover. What should we do?

“We have to find that doctor,”
Miao Sensen slowly said: “This also presents a unique opportunity for us because clearly this doctor left willingly, obviously unwilling to accept the invitation of Rainbow in Heavenly Clothes. This suggests that he is someone seeking freedom.”

“We of the Great Yan can offer him freedom, even a level of freedom he would never find in Great Qin.”

“In this way, we wouldn’t have to worry about any threats.”

“Another point is, even though the Qi army has suffered defeat, they haven’t withdrawn far and clearly intended to reclaim their lost ground. Thus… even Qi needs a turning point.”

“And such a turning point can’t just be brought about by the spies of Qi.”

“So, we too need to make an effort. If the undercover operations we arranged earlier were to launch at this instant…”

“Boss, it’s such a pity.”

“It’s a pity indeed, but if we wait until the Great Qin suppresses the Qi army and starts to seriously intrude on the borders of Great Yan, not only will it be a pity, these undercover operations might even become obsolete.”

Miao Sensen said: “So, we’ve reached a point where we cannot afford not to take action. As long as Great Qin gets caught up on two fronts, and the dangerous situation in the south is resolved, it will no longer be a major issue. Even within three to five years, there won’t be any major threat here.”

Everyone remained silent.

Bai Yihwen said: “We’re supposed to be prepared for war, and it does indeed seem that the time for action has arrived.”

“In this way, we will have three concurrent plans.”

Miao Sensen made the final decision: “Firstly, infiltrate Yuezhou to find the doctor. Meanwhile, gather intelligence and instigate uprisings with our undercover agents. Regardless of which comes to fruition, any success is a victory.”

“While the revolt is causing chaos, we can also find the doctor. Even if there’s no news about the doctor, attracting all the attention of Rainbow in Green to our Black Feather will greatly benefit the uprising.”

“After all, their attention won’t be as focused.”

Miao Sensen said: “Since it is so, let’s execute it. Do you have anything else to add?”

After exchanging glances, everyone shook their heads.

Bai Yixiu said: “Boss, those two guys, Xu the Third and Xu the Fourth, who came into contact with the doctor the most…”

“These two must be found!”

“Understood!”

“Although it’s impossible for them to be with the doctor, finding them would definitely provide us with more leads. I believe they know a lot that we don’t.”

“That’s right.”

“Anything else?”

“Nothing else.”

Everyone replied in unison.

“That’s settled then.”

Miao Sensen mused a moment, then said: “To execute this, someone must stay behind to orchestrate everything from Yuezhou City. But it’s a tremendous risk.”

He hesitated further, pursing his lips reluctantly.

We just lost three of our best fighters… now we are about to lose a wise head.

Everyone knew what this meant.

Ninety percent chance of not coming back.

That was Yuezhou.

Great Qin’s territory, the land of Rainbow in Heavenly Clothes.

Even thinking of the risk sent a chill down their spines.

“I will go.”

Bai Yihwen laughed politely.

“Brother!”

Bai Yixiu anxiously called out.

“Do not fret.”

Bai Yihwen casually replied: “In Great Yan, be it territory, population, military power, combat capability, munitions, even heroes, and geographical advantages, we have always been the weakest among the seven nations.”

“If the people of Yan do not dare to sacrifice, if we are not swallowed up by the Great Qin in the future, we will be invaded by other nations.”

“We people of the Great Yan, for the empire, who among us would not lay down our lives!”

He laughed freely, then stood up: “Boss, I ask for permission to go.”

Miao Sensen’s facial muscles twitched.

His voice suddenly turned hoarse: “Yihwen, it’s very dangerous. You could die.”

Bai Yihwen lightly grinned, “What’s there to fear in death?”

Miao Sensen took a deep breath, finally making a decision, “Alright, you go. Little Xiu, you assemble a team of elite suicide-squad. At any cost… bring Yihwen back. Do you understand?”

Bai Yixiu inhaled deeply, resoluteness etched on her pretty face, “Yes!”

She understood Miao Sensen’s intentions completely.

This matter, no matter who it was entrusted to, Bai Yixiu would never be at ease!

Only she would risk everything, at any cost for her own brother; and she would certainly assemble the strongest team!

Even then, she would never be content.

Anyone else handling this affair may exert eighty or ninety percent effort.

But Bai Yixiu could give two hundred percent, fighting to the outmost of her ability!

Therefore, Miao Sensen directly handed this task over to her.

After much contemplation, Miao Sensen lowered his voice and spoke word by word, “Yihwen, should there be a case where… you’re caught and unable to escape… you, you… you can surrender.”

“I give you the rights to surrender, in future… I will not blame you! I will cover for you.”

Bai Yihwen was moved by this, he looked up at Miao Sensen, fixing his gaze on him.

“Boss!”

“Listen to me!”

Miao Sensen firmly patted him on his shoulder.

The mountains were high and the forests dense.

Miao Sensen and the Black Feathers hid at the top of the mountain.

Watching a figure clad in white, cultured and refined, tall and handsome, stand alone and walk towards Yuezhou City in a leisurely manner.

…
After Miao Sensen and his team left.

Sudden gusts began in the high sky.

A figure in purple robes suddenly materialized out of thin air, appearing on the ground.

Appearing at the entrance of the Demon Emperor’s lair.

The place was already deserted.

This figure in purple, standing here with his hands behind his back, looked elegant, a frown on his face.

“How did Cat Emperor come to retreat here? And this power, there’s too much decline. It’s not in keeping with the status of being an emperor…”
“It’s a pity she got away.”

“However, there’s something inherently wrong with this lair.”

He floated inside with his hands still behind his back.

His eyes twinkled.

All the damaged items inside were restored to their original state. In just a blink of an eye, the place became neat again, only the items that were taken away would never return. Everything else was exactly the same as before.

Soon he made his way further inside.

A lot of silk, cotton, toys etc. were fragmented and scattered all over the floor. But with a thought from the man in purple, they were all restored.

“These are baby items.”

The man in purple’s eyes flashed, “Could it be that this lair is just for childbearing? A delivery room? Or a place for temporary confinement? Otherwise, it shouldn’t be so crude, neither should the spiritual energy be so weak.”

“Because stronger spiritual energy could possibly harm a newborn.”

“That’s why the Cat Emperor chose this place. Her sudden decline in power must be related to childbirth. Yes, it must be. Otherwise, a strong person like her wouldn’t suddenly weaken so much.”

“But after pursuing her for thirty-six thousand miles, I didn’t see any child near her…”
“So that means, during the time when her husband led me away during my pursuit, she relocated her child?”

This man in purple was indeed the Purple Emperor of the Great Yan.

At this moment, he was continually calculating, deliberating, pondering.

“If she had arranged for her child in advance, then who could she trust so completely?”

“The place she would entrust her child to, would certainly not be too far from here, so where is the closest place?”

The Purple Emperor narrowed his brows, scouting everything in the lair. Then he floated backwards out of the lair.

He meticulously examined any clue or trace.

However, this place had staged a great battle of thousands and thousands of people. The traces of damage were too mixed up to discern. Even if he used the Art of Recall, he still couldn’t restore all the traces of that many people at once.

Furthermore, among these thousands, there were many who had already fallen in battle.

His body floated high up in the air to examine his surroundings.

Then he went right back to his original spot where he started to pursue the Demon Emperor.

“That small town over there, I was here, exactly blocked from sight, so I wouldn’t notice.”

Almost instantly, he spotted that small riverside town.

In the next moment, the Purple Emperor was already above the small town.

His divine sense swept over the area, indeed there were several families, all raising kittens and puppies. But they were generally half a year, one year, two or three years old…
None of them were newborns.

His divine sense scanned over them once, everything became crystal clear.

“Could it be not here?”

“Or it could be that the Demon Emperor has hidden her traces?”

“No, it must be here. She didn’t have any more time. Entrusting her child after all needs instruction, and that isn’t a short amount of time.”

“Therefore, she wouldn’t be able to reach anywhere else.”

“Since it’s here, but there’s no sign of it, then during this period, someone must have left, taking it away. It’s inevitable.”

Immediately, he shot up towards the sky and scanned with his divine sense.

He discovered the traces of Miao Sensen and his group, “People from the Feiyi Hall of Great Yan?”

The Purple Emperor’s body floated with the wind, heading in that direction, disappearing in a flash.
