Chapter 2195 - 2198: Qin Yan's Decision

"Because I've changed my mind?"

Hearing Qin Yan's words, Qin Tian was taken aback.

Qin Yan nodded, "Yes, my master saw your Cultivation Immortality Talent, and since you're preparing to overthrow the Tianyuan Dynasty, aligning with his goals, he decided to help you overthrow the Tianyuan Dynasty first. As for going to the Immortal Domain, he said he'll decide at that time."

Unexpectedly, he actually influenced Mr. Shen Yue's decision, which surprised Qin Tian.

Bang!

Bang!

In the distance, while Qin Tian and Qin Yan were still conversing, Mr. Shen Yue and King Chu's battle finally came to an end.

King Chu, repeatedly defeated, had no place to escape, ultimately struck down by Mr. Shen Yue.

The overall situation was settled; what remained was only a matter of time.

The Imperial City was indeed difficult to breach, and within the city, there were still about 200,000 Imperial Capital Army fiercely resisting, especially the Black Hawk Army and Golden Armor Army. These guys were formidable fighters and, even knowing the Emperor Xuan was dead, still stubbornly resisted and refused to surrender.

This made Qin Tian very angry.

The Golden Armor Army and Black Hawk Army prepared to run towards the Northern City, seemingly planning to cause chaos in the North State.

"Chase them! Don't let them escape, they won't surrender, pursue them to the end!"

Qin Tian ordered Zhao Lanjin and Lin Yu.

Qin Yan agreed, "I'll have Long Yin's men accompany you."

As the Golden Armor Army and Black Hawk Army prepared to flee northward, the battle extended to the north of the Imperial City. Qin Tian instructed Xu Kuan to clean the battlefield.

He also had Xiao Zhuang maintain constant contact with the East State defense forces, continuously monitoring the movements of the Dragon Clan's troops.

"Mr. Shen Yue, thank you for your hard work."

When Mr. Shen Yue collected his breath and landed on the top of the city gate, Qin Tian expressed his gratitude respectfully.

After all, he was previously unaware, but now he finally understood that Mr. Shen Yue had been helping him all along.

"It wasn't hard, the Imperial City is finally settled, and the Tianyuan Dynasty's overall situation is determined,"

Mr. Shen Yue spoke with a relieved tone.

He wore a mask, but at this moment, he took it off as he spoke.

He was a man with black hair, appearing kindly and benevolent.

Based on his looks, he seemed to be in his forties or fifties, but in reality, his actual age should be at least a hundred.

"Yes, without your and Qin Yan's help, it might have been difficult for me to defeat Emperor Xuan,"

Qin Tian sighed.

It was the truth; not to mention, figures like King Chu and the three other superpowers were too much for Qin Tian alone to handle.

"Qin Yan is your Qin brother, and I am his teacher, helping you is only right,"

Mr. Shen Yue said, "Besides, even without you, we would still deal with the Tianyuan Dynasty."

After speaking, Mr. Shen Yue suggested, "Tomorrow, Qin Yan and I are going to pay respects at Long Jun's grave, King Qin, would you like to join us?"

"My father's grave?" Qin Tian was surprised.

"No, father's body was shattered by the Ice Emperor and others, turned to ashes. The coffin contains a set of his clothes, a memorial grave," Qin Yan said.

"I'll go with you tomorrow,"

Qin Tian nodded and agreed.

"Boss, the East State has made a move!"

At this time, Xiao Zhuang rushed over, eyes filled with astonishment, "Didn't expect that the Dragon Clan couldn't hold back and directly invaded South State. They bypassed our defenses and attacked South State!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian smiled.

Qin Tian had anticipated the Dragon Clan's move before.

Attacking Central State was the Dragon Clan's first priority because by attacking Central State, they could directly threaten the Imperial City and possibly even occupy it.

Attacking South State was their secondary choice, a lower strategy.

Moving south to attack signifies the Dragon Clan abandoning their threat towards the Imperial City, giving up the ambition of directly occupying the Tianyuan Dynasty, choosing instead to seize part of South State's territory while Qin Tian's main forces are at the Imperial City.

In this situation, the Dragon Clan's decision was a wise move.

However, at this time, because Qin Tian had pulled out the forces from South State and Barbarian Clan defenses to guard against the Dragon Clan's advance east, there was truly no available force to resist the Dragon Clan's attack on South State.

"For now, it seems we must temporarily sacrifice part of South State's territory, wait until we rebound and then reclaim it,"

Qin Tian took a deep breath, not as if he was willingly abandoning these lands, he anticipated the Dragon Clan could occupy one-third of South State's territory this time.

Qin Tian could accept this.

More importantly, in the future, Qin Tian could use the excuse of recovering South State's territory to wage war against the Dragon Clan, thus reclaiming not just South State, but also the East State!

In this way, the initiative would be in Qin Tian's hands.

"Third brother, have the South State army and Barbarian army withdraw and set defenses around Nanyu Mountain in South State, preventing the Dragon Clan's army from crossing Nanyu Mountain for further invasion, this is our baseline."

"Okay."

After Xiao Zhuang left, Qin Tian prepared to hold a military meeting to discuss stabilizing the Imperial City and strategies against the Dragon Clan.

He invited Mr. Shen Yue and Qin Yan to join him.

Qin Tian left first, while Mr. Shen Yue and Qin Yan stood on the Imperial City's South City Gate tower, both looking up at the sky.

Above in the sky, after the battle, there was a waning moon, the bright moon like a hook.

"Did you tell everything to your brother?"

Gazing at the waning moon, Mr. Shen Yue asked Qin Yan.

Qin Yan nodded.

"I only concealed one thing from him."

After a while, Qin Yan said.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Shen Yue was taken aback.

Qin Yan smiled lightly, "I told him my cultivation is at the Peak of the Great Immortal Realm."

"Hehe... why did you lie to him?"

Mr. Shen Yue chuckled.

"I didn't deceive him, I remember previously I told him my cultivation was at the Flying Immortal Realm, just hoping he doesn't recall what I mentioned last time."

Qin Yan slightly closed his eyes, "Between my brother and me, one of us must make sacrifices."

Mr. Shen Yue said, "You've sacrificed so much for your brother; now, why? You two can completely go together to the Immortal Domain; you both have the capability."

"If both of us went to the Immortal Domain, this Spiritual Domain might face uncertainties. I don't want the Qin family's grand plans for dominance to fall into the hands of outsiders. Also, to the east, there's the Dragon Clan watching keenly, the Tianyuan Dynasty can't be neglected even for a moment."

Qin Yan coughed gently, "In all the realms, only my brother and I are Qin siblings, and aside from him, I'm afraid only I can contend with Long Tianwu."

Qin Yan spoke with a profound meaning, turning to Mr. Shen Yue, asking, "Master, what about you? Your mission and oath have been fulfilled, what do you plan next? Will you go to the Immortal Domain, or not?"
