1480: Crisis (1)

Crisis (1)

The Forsaken Land was a peaceful place. Shen Yanxiao had practically toured around all the cities under her in the past few days and her legs had nearly broken from all that walking.1

She finally returned to Sun Never Sets to rest. But before she could catch her breath, she saw a familiar figure whooshing toward her from the door.

"Master!" Nangong Mengmeng pounced on Shen Yanxiao.

"Mengmeng?" Shen Yanxiao was stunned for a moment. She had not seen Nangong Mengmeng when she came back. She heard from Du Lang that Nangong Mengmeng returned to the God Realm not long after she left. Thus, Shen Yanxiao thought that she would not return.

"Hehe, did you miss me?" Nangong Mengmeng looked at Shen Yanxiao with a smile.

"Does the Sage know that you have returned from the God Realm?" Shen Yanxiao asked.

"The Sage asked me to come back." Nangong Mengmeng's expression slightly changed.

"Master, the Sage asked me to bring you some news."

"What news?" Shen Yanxiao was well aware that the real Sage of the God Realm was Shen Siyu.

Nangong Mengmeng said, "Recently, the armies of the four countries have taken arms. After the Sage investigated, he found that they were all gathering their forces to prepare to enter the Forsaken Land. They… might very well want to deal with you."

"Deal with me?" Shen Yanxiao revealed a trace of surprise. She never expected that she would become the target of the four countries.

Nangong Mengmeng gritted her teeth and said, "Master, you've just returned so you probably don't know yet. Right now, other than the Forsaken Land, there's a rumor circulating in the jurisdiction of the other four countries."

"Is it related to me?" Shen Yanxiao asked.

Nangong Mengmeng nodded.

"The Brilliance Continent is spreading… saying that you colluded with demons and invaded human cities." Nangong Mengmeng's expression was ugly. This news was too fatal for Shen Yanxiao.

The conflict between humans and demons had been going on for thousands of years. In the minds of everyone in the Brilliance Continent, demons were the number one enemy in their land, and those who were related to demons would always be their enemies.

If it were any other reason or excuse, they might not be able to alarm the armies of the four countries. However, this reason was not only accepted by the four countries, but also by other humans outside the Forsaken Land.

This practically pushed Shen Yanxiao to the position of public enemy!

"Collude with demons? Invading their cities?" Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows. That was a serious crime.

"Mengmeng, find Qi Xia and the rest for me." This was no small matter. Even though Shen Yanxiao was confident, she would never be arrogant. If the four countries were to send out all their forces, it would not be easy for Shen Yanxiao to retreat.

Sun Never Sets and other cities had just begun to take shape when they suffered such a fatal blow. If Shen Yanxiao could not get through this, then she would suffer a crushing defeat!

Very soon, the members of Phantom gathered at the mansion.

"You should have heard what Mengmeng said. The four countries have joined hands again. What do you think our odds of winning are?" Shen Yanxiao restrained her usual smile and put on a straight face.

Qi Xia slightly frowned and the smile on his lips did not reach his eyes.

"Very small."

It was very small.

With Shen Yanxiao's current strength, she could at most contend against one country. The four countries had allied together and mobilized all their forces. It was basically something they could not fight against right now.

Even though the forces in the Forsaken Land seemed to have grown well, due to them being restricted on time, they were incapable of forming a powerful fighting force!
