CHAPTER 203: Alliance (2)

Huang xin was stunned, she's really amazed of yu yue's astute mind. "hehe, they're the one pulling the strings behind the scenes."

"oh, what are their objectives?" yu yue frowned, just as she guessed.

"I guessed, as the city lord of hundred flower city back then you must be fully aware of the situation in black forest. I issued a mission to investigate it and we found some clues, I was able to connect the dots then…" she put her tea down and started talking.

"I also have few spies in sky empire and there are sightings of black robe people with strengths that appears to be of not from this realm. I even lose many people because of them, I'm not very clear of their objectives but I heard they were looking for a treasure called the mystical space…" yu yue's eyes flashed imperceptibly, her body shivered a little. She knew it, snow fairy is trouble… but she couldn't blame her as she benefits so much from the space.

"...but even before that. Phoenix empire could be said to be the strongest. However, sky empire wanted to unify the outer region as their previous emperor wishes. They started manipulating the huaxian and jade empire to cause a ruckus, they started dealing with us. They were pressuring us into agreeing to disposed of the peace treaty signed by the four great empires, as long as no one was willing to dispel it even if it's just one party it would take effect. If it was before they wouldn't dare to be atrocious, that's why they pretended not to care about worldly matters as they buy their time. They also got help from those black robe men" she explained with a tinged of anger.

yu yue frowned deeply as her mind started getting on to it, "which means even with the peace treaty your empire is not protected?" yu yue was confused.

"ofcourse, the peace treaty wasn't made for the empires. It was initiated by our founding emperors to protect small kingdoms and independent cities. But after it was realized, only the three independent cities remained. The others have all fallen under their hands." she said meaningfully.

"my mother won't agree to dispel the peace treaty in order to protect other kingdoms, but I don't think we could hold on for long as those black robe men were getting impatient. They couldn't find the said treasure even after two years so they want to hasten the sky empire's plan to scour the entire outer region as they lack people… and according to our people the assassin's organization is under their powers…" she trailed off.

"Why do I think you know where they came from?" huang xin eyed her intensely.

yu yue sighed after contemplating as she told her, "honestly yes, they came from the middle realm. In fact, the central region is already under their control" she replied in a small voice.

"then that means our situation is worse than we initially thought?" huang xin muttered blankly, her face full of helplessness. They were cornered from all sides; their plans won't work anymore.
