Chapter 1482 – Crisis (3)
If they could not pass this calamity, Shen Yanxiao’s foundation in the Barren Land would be completely destroyed.
Those humans who had just moved to the Barren Land were still in an observation period, to see whether they could
completely settle down here, and also to see if Shen Yanxiao really did have skills. If Shen Yanxiao could not
protect the Barren Land, then they would definitely get up, pat their bottoms, and place themselves in the hands of a
new lord without raising any objection.
Success or failure hinged on this one action!
If Shen Yanxiao could survive the joint attack of the four countries, she could really sit as the ruler of this land. If
she could not resist them, it would be her total defeat.
“I am very curious, why did the four countries send troops to attack us all of a sudden? Before this period of time,
our movements were also quite clear to them. Although the emperor of Long Xuan Empire was somewhat unhappy,
he also did not express any opinions. Why did they suddenly join forces with each other? Simply to eliminate us?”
Yan Yu frowned. He couldn’t figure out why the four countries had suddenly moved.
In the Barren Land, the peaceful coexistence of humans and demons should have already been known by the rulers
of the four countries at an earlier time. And about the territorial issue, they had always turned a blind eye to it. Just
what was the reason that suddenly made them change their attitudes and made them join hands to annihilate them?
The words of Yan Yu made everyone fall into deep thought.
The timing of the four countries was too sudden.
Everything was still calm before, but as soon as Shen Yanxiao returned, such tremendous changes had taken place.
Wasn’t this a bit too coincidental?
“I think there is something not right here. The relations between the four countries are not good. How can they
suddenly decide together to unite against us?” Li Xiaowei agreed with Yan Yu’s analysis. There were many private
small frictions between the four countries. Even though Shen Yanxiao had a great influence in the Barren Land, she
hadn’t violated their interests. And granted that there was no Shen Yanxiao, even if the other three countries wanted
to expand their power in the Barren Land, it was impossible for each and every one of them to do it in a few
hundred years.
The only one who had a conflict with Shen Yanxiao was the Long Xuan Empire.
However, they dared to guarantee that the emperor of the Long Xuan Empire would not run to other three countries
to seek alliance.
“What Ah-Yu said makes sense. But who has the capability to force the four countries to take action? And let them
dare to put all their troops into this? Why do they have to go after Little Xiao?” Qi Xia nodded his head. Not one of
them was an idiot; they all thought that there was something fishy about this matter.
Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes. She had not been the Radiance Continent for some time. If there were anyone who
held a grudge against her, it was certainly something that had happened before she left.
Those who had grudges against her were many, but those who were able to move the rulers of the four countries…
Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath. She looked at Qi Xia and said, “After I left, did the Broken Star Palace come back
and give you any trouble?”
“You mean, the Broken Star Palace is the one creating these difficulties?” Qi Xia raised his eyebrows.
“After you left, they really didn’t do anything.”
“It is most likely them. Only they have the ability to make the rulers of the four countries take action. They hate me
to the bone. I believe that they have received the news of my return, and very likely arranged the movements of this
time. They really think highly of me ah! They actually used the alliance of the four countries to deal with me!” Shen
Yanxiao sneered.
What a good way to borrow someone else’s knife to kill people!
The Broken Star Palace was really smart!
“If it really is them, then everything makes sense.” Qi Xia thoughtfully nodded. Shen Yanxiao’s guess was likely to
be true.
