Chapter 238: Blame-shifting, crisis situation

Recalling a month ago, the high-spirited Golong led an army of 800,000 to the south, with a mighty and unstoppable force.

Who could have thought that just one defeat would lead to the complete annihilation of an army of 800,000 soldiers?

The number of people who escaped back to the Tiandou Empire was less than 200,000. The rest either died or fled, and there was basically no possibility of reorganizing them.

Tiandou court!

When this news came, all the civil and military officials were silent, and Xue Ye's eyes were dull. His army was wiped out, and his family fortune was lost in one day.

With a thud, he sat down on the ground, yelling:

"Yu Xiaogang has misled me. Yu Xiaogang has misled me. If it weren't for his strong instigation, how could I have sent troops to the south? If I hadn't sent troops to the south, how could my 800,000-man army have ended up like this!"

As he was shouting, Xue Ye's eyes flashed with coldness. He was the emperor, he was not wrong, so the wrong must be someone else:
"I will kill him and use his blood to sacrifice to my 800,000 troops!"

As soon as these words came out, an experienced and prudent minister immediately stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, no. Master Yu is still at Jialing Pass. Thanks to Master Yu's martial soul fusion technique, Bibi Dong was temporarily forced to retreat. She is already a god. The hundreds of thousands of troops under her command are a ragtag army, but under the leadership of a god, they are all fanatical and fearless."

"If we want to preserve the Tiandou Empire, we need the wisdom of Master Yu. At this time, let alone killing him, we should reward him heavily, give him a high position, noble status, title and fiefdom, and closely link Master Yu with our Tiandou Empire."

Xue Ye shuddered, as if a basin of cold water was poured on him, and he calmed down instantly. Yes, that's right, the most important thing at this time is to preserve the Tiandou Empire.

He stood up tremblingly, nodding his head and saying:
"That makes sense. Master Yu is the backbone of the country. Now, the survival of the Tiandou Empire depends on Master Yu. I have made up my mind to appoint Master Yu as the Tiandou National Master, with an annual salary of one million gold soul coins, and to confer the title of Duke of Blue Lightning. The Thunder Canyon, which was once the home of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, as well as the nearby land of a hundred miles, will be given to Duke of Blue Lightning as a fiefdom."

Xue Ye originally wanted to blame all the losses of the 800,000-man army on Yu Xiaogang, but now he wants to put it on Yu Xiaogang's head. Of course, he can't let him take the blame, but he can't take the blame himself either.

His eyes rolled again and again, and finally he said with great sorrow:

"This time, the defeat was caused by Sect Master Ning's failure to dissuade us, but Sect Master Ning has also made great contributions to our Tiandou Empire. I cannot bear to blame him, so let it be."

This……

The civil and military officials below looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally all acquiesced in the matter. After all, someone would have to take the blame, so they all bowed and said:

"Your Majesty is wise!"

……

Jialing Pass!
Xue Ye delivered the reward to Yu Xiaogang as quickly as possible. Not only did he praise him highly, but he also gave him the command of the front line.

Yu Xiaogang laughed out loud three times excitedly on the spot. He was very inferior, and all his pride was covering up his inferiority, so he wanted to prove himself urgently.

Even if he claims to be the number one master in the theoretical world, he cannot hide the fact that he is a waste.

Now, as the Imperial Master of the Tiandou Empire, with an annual salary of one million gold soul coins, the Blue Lightning Duke of the Tiandou Empire, and the entire Thunder Canyon and the surrounding land for a hundred miles as his fiefdom, Yu Xiaogang feels really proud.

His disdain for the powerful and wealthy is simply because he is not that powerful and wealthy, but now he can be said to be enjoying it.

Yu Xiaogang swore in his heart that he must protect the Tiandou Empire from Bibi Dong's clutches, otherwise, everything he had gained would be in vain.

"Your Majesty, I am grateful for your trust. I, Yu Xiaogang, will use my wisdom to protect the Tiandou Empire from Bibi Dong's clutches." Yu Xiaogang looked in the direction of Tiandou City and said loudly:
"Boss Fu, Sister Erlong, my glory is not just mine, it's the glory of the three of us. I believe that our golden iron triangle is enough to get everything we want in the Tiandou Empire."

"Let's go, we'll gather the remaining soldiers and re-deploy the defense line with Jialing Pass as the core. Bibi Dong's biggest weakness is her soft heart. Since she gave us time to prepare, how can we not give her a surprise?"

"When he destroys the Xingluo Empire and leads his troops north again, he will face the Jialing Pass, which is like an iron plate. I will use up the last drop of blood of the Wuhun Empire here."

Flanders and Liu Erlong, they were both high-level soul masters, and they knew how terrifying Bibi Dong was after she became a god. Seeing Yu Xiaogang like this, they all smiled bitterly.

After looking at each other, they felt a sense of sympathy, but because of their last friendship, they decided to help Yu Xiaogang one more time. When the day came when Jialing Pass was breached, as long as they were not dead, they would have no choice but to live in seclusion in the mountains.

……

Qibao Glazed Sect!
The news that the 800,000-strong army led by Ge Long was defeated has spread, and Xue Ye also attributed all the responsibility to Ning Fengzhi.

So many people started to point fingers at the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and Ning Fengzhi. Although they didn't dare to insult them openly, they mocked them secretly.

Ning Fengzhi had just escaped back and was already a little dusty. His face was frighteningly dark. Even if he did have the intention of taking advantage of the Tiandou Empire, he definitely had no intention of deliberately harming the Tiandou Empire. Now he had to bear such a heavy blame and he felt completely disappointed.

Gu Rong had a hot temper and said directly at this time:
"Master, we will accompany you to Tiandou City to have a good talk with Xue Ye. You actually put all the blame for the defeat on your head."

After Ning Fengzhi took a few deep breaths, his face regained some calmness, and his voice was frighteningly cold:

"Uncle Gu, Uncle Jian and I just escaped back with the sect's disciples. We shouldn't make too much noise at this time. We must keep a low profile to better protect ourselves."

"I never thought that the biggest trump card of the Wuhun Empire is that Bibi Dong has become a god. The power of a god is not something that mortals can easily resist."

"Humph, Tiandou Empire, Xue Ye, he won't be so proud for too long. It seems that the unification of the continent by the Wuhun Empire is very likely to become a reality."

"Take advantage of this time, Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, immediately send people to contact the sect disciples in various places and bring the resources back to the mountain gate. We will also close the mountain and defend it ourselves."

"We just need to keep a low profile and wait until Chen Yuan becomes a god and returns. Not to mention destroying the Wuhun Empire, at least the Wuhun Empire will not dare to force our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect too much."

“Haha, although no one thought that Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall could become a god, who could have thought that Chen Yuan of our sect would also receive the inheritance of the gods.”

Chen Xin and Gu Rong also nodded with a smile on their faces:

"As ordered!"

……

Martial Spirit Empire!

Bibi Dong left Hu Liena behind and asked her to take people to deal with the troubles left by hundreds of thousands of troops of the Tiandou Empire. They had to bury the corpses together and gather the rest of the scattered deserters.

She herself led her army to Xingluo and launched continuous attacks like a tide.
