Villain: Her Imagination Makes Me Invincible - Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Can the Empire win? Is it possible?

Ye Dingtian ordered, “So, now spread the word.”

“If the other six major forces ally with the Taixuan Empire, perhaps… there might still be a chance!”

“Yes!” Everyone in the grand hall nodded heavily.

Ye Dingtian waved his hand, signaling for everyone to leave.

After bowing slightly, they turned and went off to carry out their tasks.

Ye Dingtian was left alone, sitting on the dragon throne, his head propped up on his hand, his expression heavy in thought.

He began to regret, regretting that he had provoked the Demon Sect, provoking Ling Xue.  

If he hadn’t secretly allied with other forces to send experts against Ling Xue, perhaps… this catastrophe wouldn’t have come.  

But now, it was too late for regrets!  

The Demon Sect wouldn’t care whether you regret it or not.  

�

After the decree was issued throughout the Taixuan Empire, the whole empire was in an uproar.

Some people did join the Taixuan Empire, but others… didn’t want to get involved in this.

The Demon Sect was coming to flatten the Taixuan Empire—joining now would surely mean death!

Those who wanted to build a legacy could try, but only if they managed to survive.

Meanwhile, at the Lingxu Sect.

Today, a few guests arrived at the Lingxu Sect.

They were envoys from the Taixuan Empire!

There was, of course, only one reason for the imperial envoys to visit to ask the Lingxu Sect to join the empire and fight on its behalf.

In the main hall, Liu Wenwan and many of the senior members of the Lingxu Sect were present.

Yun Luoxi was also there, as was Liu Wenwan’s daughter, Liu Chengshuang.

Sitting on the right were the envoys from the Taixuan Empire, and they had already stated their purpose.

The Lingxu Sect was a considerable power, with three Divine Source Realm experts within its ranks.

If they joined the empire, they would be a substantial force for the empire.

Unfortunately, Liu Wenwan had no such intentions!

“Gentlemen, the empire angered the Demon Sect, and now you want my Lingxu Sect to get involved!” Liu Wenwan smiled lightly from her seat of honor. “My Lingxu Sect won’t be stirring up these troubled waters!”

“Haha, Sect Master Liu, the Lingxu Sect is within the empire’s borders! Now that the empire is in trouble, if you stand by and do nothing, aren’t you afraid of being ridiculed?” The imperial envoy laughed.

“Ridiculed? Haha!”

Liu Wenwan laughed as well, “The empire is the empire, and the Lingxu Sect is the Lingxu Sect. We’ve never had much to do with each other! Why would anyone mock us for standing by?”

Though the Lingxu Sect was located within the Taixuan Empire, in reality, the empire and the Lingxu Sect were two distinct entities.

There was no hierarchical relationship between them!

The Lingxu Sect had little interaction with the empire, and the empire hadn’t offered the Lingxu Sect much protection either.

The two were essentially unrelated!

Now that the Demon Sect was about to attack the Taixuan Empire, and Liu Wenwan had witnessed Ling Xue’s abilities firsthand, having the Lingxu Sect join the empire would be nothing more than a death sentence!

“Sect Master Liu, even if the Lingxu Sect has no direct ties to the empire, surely you realize that if the empire falls, the Lingxu Sect will be in danger of being swallowed by the Demon Sect?” the envoy continued.

Hearing this, Liu Wenwan smiled and shook her head, her gaze instinctively meeting Yun Luoxi’s.

She replied slowly, “If the Demon Lord truly had such intentions, the Lingxu Sect would have ceased to exist long ago!”

The Demon Sect would not swallow the Lingxu Sect.

Otherwise, with Ling Xue’s temperament, if he had wanted to, he would have acted already.

Furthermore, since Yun Luoxi was in the Lingxu Sect, Liu Wenwan was certain that Ling Xue would never do anything harmful to the sect.

Just Yun Luoxi’s presence alone ensured the Lingxu Sect’s safety.

Liu Wenwan said, “Sect Master Liu, we are advising you for your good! Please don’t make things difficult for us!”

The envoys sneered, “ready to take action if their persuasion failed.”

But they couldn’t scare Liu Wenwan.

She simply chuckled coldly, “What? Do you intend to fight my Lingxu Sect? Given the empire’s current state, do you have the resources to deal with the Lingxu Sect?”

Her words caused the envoys’ faces to darken immediately!

Indeed, with the empire on the verge of war, how could they spare the energy to forcefully deal with the Lingxu Sect?

They couldn’t afford such a drain on their resources.

“Please leave! The battle between the Demon Sect and the empire has nothing to do with the Lingxu Sect. We will not participate!” Liu Wenwan declared firmly.

Her stance was resolute, with no sign of wavering.

She thought Only a fool would willingly oppose the Demon Sect.

Upon hearing this, the envoys stood up. “Sect Master Liu, remember your words today! When the empire wins, be prepared for the consequences that await the Lingxu Sect!”

With that, they snorted coldly, turned, and left.

Leaving Liu Wenwan and the others in the hall.

As for the envoys’ threats, Liu Wenwan merely sneered in response.

“The empire would win? Was that even possible?”

“Everyone knew how terrifying the Demon Sect’s power was!”

“That day at Cangyun Sky Mountain, the Demon Sect had sent only a few people, and they had wiped out the experts sent by the other factions!”

“If the Demon Sect were to mobilize its full army, even multiple empires combined would be no match!”

“The Demon Sect’s vast army and Ling Xue’s power, comparable to the Extreme Martial Realm, left the empire with no chance of winning.”

“The Demon Sect had vowed to destroy the Taixuan Empire, and that meant… the empire was doomed!”

“I actually hope the Demon Sect wins!” At this moment, Liu Chengshuang spoke, “I’ve never liked the empire’s ways, especially that prince, such an idiot!”

“Prince?” Liu Wenwan suddenly remembered that the Lingxu Sect had a disciple who was the illegitimate son of the current emperor of the Taixuan Empire.

She immediately ordered, “Send out my decree: From now on, Ye Feng and his sister are to be expelled from the Lingxu Sect!”

Now that the Demon Sect was about to attack the Taixuan Empire, the Lingxu Sect needed to cut all ties with the empire.

Ye Feng and his sister couldn’t remain in the Lingxu Sect!

“Understood! I’ll take care of it!” Liu Chengshuang stood up.

Since they were about to expel Ye Feng from the sect, and the Taixuan Empire was on the verge of destruction, before Ye Feng left, she could gather all those in the sect who despised him and give him a good beating before sending him away!

With that, Liu Chengshuang walked out of the hall.

In the hall, Liu Wenwan’s gaze fell on Yun Luoxi. She smiled and asked, “What are your thoughts on this?”
