Chapter 277: The Great Chu Crisis

Chapter 277: Chapter 277: The Great Chu Crisis

"The Great Chu Dynasty is about to be destroyed?"

Yi Xiaoyao had just walked into the room when he heard Chu Fei’Er’s words. He froze for a moment, then asked, "What’s going on?"

"The Great Yuan Dynasty and the Great Jin Dynasty have joined forces to attack our Great Chu Dynasty. Yi, you must have a way to help us, right?"

Chu Fei’Er’s tone was filled with anxiety, but she also felt certain that Yi Xiaoyao could save the Great Chu Dynasty.

After all, Yi Xiaoyao was the strongest man in the Great Shang Dynasty, the one who had single-handedly annihilated the Cloud Transformation Sect!

A flicker of movement in Yi Xiaoyao’s eyes. He had originally just been passing by and planned to say hello to Chu Fei’Er. When he found her locked in her room, he stepped in to see what trouble she was in.

He never expected to learn such news.

"The Great Shang Dynasty and your Great Chu are allies. Since you’re under attack by enemy nations, why hasn’t the Great Shang Dynasty come to your aid?"

Yi Xiaoyao asked. He found this very strange.

Chu Fei’Er shook her head, her brow furrowed. "I’m not too sure about that either. It seems the Great Shang Dynasty isn’t in a good situation itself. As for the specifics, my father should know best."

Hearing this, Yi Xiaoyao had a bad feeling. The Great Shang Dynasty was likely struggling to protect itself, which was why it couldn’t support the besieged Great Chu.

The Great Shang Dynasty was the land of his birth, and far too many people he cared about were there. He had to find out what was happening.

"Take me to see your father. Perhaps I can help the Great Chu Dynasty resolve this crisis," Yi Xiaoyao said to Chu Fei’Er.

Chu Fei’Er quickly agreed. Just as she was about to lead Yi Xiaoyao out, the young man in armor who had followed them in blocked their path.

The armored youth had initially thought there was an assassin, but after chasing him in, he realized Yi Xiaoyao knew Chu Fei’Er. He hadn’t interfered, simply standing to the side and listening to their conversation with a frown.

"Princess Fei’Er, you cannot go out."

The armored youth stood before the door, then turned to Yi Xiaoyao and asked in a hostile tone, "And you, kid, who are you? Even if you are the princess’s friend, you dared to barge into her room without this general’s permission. I have the authority to have you locked up!"

Before Yi Xiaoyao could speak, Chu Fei’Er glared and snapped, "Lin Qing! Watch your tone! Didn’t you hear him? Yi is going to help us resolve Great Chu’s crisis!"

"Heh, you think he can solve Great Chu’s crisis?"

Lin Qing sneered coldly. How could he possibly believe that someone so much younger than him could resolve the monumental crisis the Great Chu Dynasty was facing?

Yi Xiaoyao’s brow furrowed slightly. He said to the man, "Great Chu is facing a crisis. As a general, you aren’t on the battlefield. Instead, you’re here blocking me. If I’m not the one to solve this crisis, are you suggesting it should be you?"

Lin Qing was enraged. A dignified general like him was being lectured by some brat! Where was his dignity?!

"Insolent! Who do you think you are—"

Before he could finish his angry shout, Yi Xiaoyao waved his hand impatiently.

Instantly, Lin Qing felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow. His body shot backward, sent flying through the air.

Lin Qing did his best to stop his momentum, but he still crashed through a wall a hundred zhang away, causing it to collapse. He couldn’t stop himself from spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"And who do you think you are?"

An icy voice drifted into Lin Qing’s ears. Yi Xiaoyao shot him an indifferent glance, then took to the air with Chu Fei’Er, vanishing over the horizon.

Lin Qing struggled out from under the rubble, staring in horror at the spot where Yi Xiaoyao had disappeared. His heart was in turmoil, like a stormy sea.

One had to know, he, Lin Qing, was the most powerful young genius in the Great Chu Dynasty. At twenty-eight, he had already reached the Second Realm of the Nascent Soul Realm. Among his peers, his strength was unrivaled.

Because of this, the King of Chu had made him a general and intended for him to become Princess Chu Fei’Er’s royal consort. He had been ordered to stay here to guard and protect her.

But now, he had been sent flying by a youth who looked about ten years younger than him... with a casual wave of his hand!

That’s right, a casual wave!

Lin Qing was absolutely certain that the youth had truly just acted "casually."

Because in the instant Yi Xiaoyao raised his hand, Lin Qing had felt a terrifying aura that left him completely unable to resist.

’This person’s strength... is far more terrifying than even those old monsters of the Great Chu Dynasty!’

Making this comparison, Lin Qing’s face instantly turned deathly pale.

As unwilling as he was, he had to admit that he, the super-genius of the Great Chu Dynasty, was truly nothing before Yi Xiaoyao.

High in the sky, Yi Xiaoyao was flying at top speed toward King Chu’s Palace with Chu Fei’Er in tow.

"Yi, you’ve gotten stronger again!"

Chu Fei’Er said, looking at Yi Xiaoyao with shining eyes.

She knew how strong Lin Qing was, yet just now, he couldn’t even withstand a casual wave of Yi Xiaoyao’s hand. It was a clear testament to Yi Xiaoyao’s immense power.

Yi Xiaoyao gave a faint smile but didn’t speak.

After tempering himself in the Chaotic Alliance Domain, he had indeed become much stronger than before.

At the very least, for Yi Xiaoyao, resolving the crisis the Great Chu Dynasty now faced was a trivial matter.

A moment later, the two of them appeared above King Chu’s Palace and descended.

At that moment, sighs could be heard echoing from within King Chu’s Palace.

"My Great Chu is doomed! Doomed!"

The King of Chu paced back and forth on the high platform of the main hall, his expression anxious.

Then, he ordered the person beside him, "Quickly! Tell Lin Qing to take the princess and flee Great Chu at once!"

Just then, a clear voice came from outside the hall.

"Father, I will not leave!"

Chu Fei’Er walked in, her expression resolute.

The King of Chu’s expression changed. "Fei’Er, why are you here?"

The next moment, he saw Yi Xiaoyao entering with Chu Fei’Er, and a look of astonishment crossed his face.

"It’s you? Yi Xiaoyao?"

The King of Chu certainly hadn’t forgotten Yi Xiaoyao. He had also heard about how Yi Xiaoyao had single-handedly annihilated the Cloud Transformation Sect.

Yi Xiaoyao stepped forward, offered a salute, and said with a faint smile, "Senior, I have already heard about Great Chu’s situation from Princess Fei’Er. I can help you resolve this crisis."

"You can help us resolve this crisis?"

The King of Chu’s face was filled with doubt. Yi Xiaoyao’s ability to annihilate the Cloud Transformation Sect alone meant his strength was not to be underestimated.

But compared to the crisis the Great Chu Dynasty was currently facing, the power to destroy a single sect was likely far from enough.

Seeing the doubt on the King of Chu’s face, Yi Xiaoyao smiled faintly and released a brief pulse of his cultivation’s aura.

Although it was only for an instant, it caused the King of Chu’s expression to change drastically.

"This! This is... the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm?!"

The King of Chu naturally knew of the realms above the Nascent Soul Realm. The aura Yi Xiaoyao had just released was far more powerful than the Nascent Soul Ninth Realm, so the only possibility was the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm.

At this, the King of Chu finally believed that Yi Xiaoyao truly possessed the ability to resolve Great Chu’s crisis.

Because regardless of whether it was the Great Chu Dynasty, or the attacking Great Yuan and Great Jin Dynasties, no one had reached such a realm.

In these minor dynasties, a Nascent Soul Transformation Realm expert was equivalent to a god-like existence!

Instantly, the despair on the King of Chu’s face was replaced by immense joy.

"Yi, are you truly willing to help my Great Chu resolve this crisis?!"

The King of Chu directly changed how he addressed Yi Xiaoyao, asking expectantly.

Yi Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Of course. Has Senior forgotten? I still owe you a favor."

Only then did the King of Chu recall the trip to the Ancient Tomb. Yi Xiaoyao had asked him and the King of Shang to help him kill the hook-nosed man from the Great Xia Empire, promising a favor in return.

He never imagined that this favor would now save the entire Great Chu Dynasty!

Following that, Yi Xiaoyao asked, "But before that, Senior, can you tell me if the Great Shang Dynasty is facing the same situation as Great Chu right now?"
