The Good for Nothing Seventh Young Lady

Chapter 1696 – Number One Person of the Radiance Continent (7)

Sage Feng swept his gaze over the crowd and confirmed that all the rulers of the four countries were present. He

then got up and said, “Now that you are here, come with me.”

He wasn’t going to kill them?

The rulers of the four countries breathed a sigh of relief.

Sage Feng lead the convoys of the four countries towards their destination using the carriage he brought himself.

But as the journey continued, the rulers of the four countries felt something wrong. They were getting closer and

closer to the border of the Barren Land and, seeing that they were about to enter Shen Yanxiao’s territory, they

became a bit puzzled.

They knew very well that the Broken Star Palace and Shen Yanxiao found each other disagreeable. Their destination

this time was the Broken Star Palace, but how come they were being brought to the Barren Land?

When the convoy of each of the countries entered the Barren Land, the hearts of the four countries’ rulers became

even more complex to the extreme.

“State Preceptor, what medicine is the Broken Star Palace selling in the gourd after all[1]? Why are we being taken

to the Barren Land?” The emperor of the Long Xuan Empire, who was sitting in the carriage, looked doubtfully at

Pei Yuan.

[1] Means what is the Broken Star Palace really thinking or wanting to do.

“There are only two possibilities. The first one, the Broken Star Palace is actually hidden in the Barren Land. The

second one, the Broken Star Palace wants us to go to The Rising Sun City and fall out with Shen Yanxiao by

showing our stance.” Pei Yuan pondered all the way and only came to these two conclusions.

“The Broken Star Palace is in the Barren Land? That’s impossible.” The emperor felt that the possibility of this was

so low that it couldn’t get any lower.

“Not necessarily; the Broken Star Palace has always been well hidden. Nobody knows where exactly they are

located. The Barren Land has always been a forbidden area and only a few people will enter it. Shen Yanxiao is the

first and only person who has made a bold and decisive effort to reclaim the whole Barren Land. If the Broken Star

Palace is hidden in the Barren Land as I guess, then Shen Yanxiao’s practice had probably exposed the location of

the Broken Star Palace, and the Broken Star Palace is being targeted by Shen Yanxiao.” Pei Yuan thought it was

most likely the case.

They did not know that Shen Duan, together with Ruan Yingzhe of the Broken Star Palace had jointly plotted

against the Vermillion Bird Clan, they did not know that the enmity between the Broken Star Palace and Shen

Yanxiao had started at that time. They only knew for the first time that Shen Yanxiao and the Broken Star Palace

were at odds when the Broken Star Palace sent people to deal with Shen Yanxiao in Twilight City. But they had

never understood why the Broken Star Palace was specifically aiming at Shen Yanxiao.

If Pei Yuan’s guess was correct, then that was the reason.

“After you say so, I also think it’s quite possible.” The emperor nodded his head. Everything Pei Yuan said made

sense.

“I also think that the second possibility is very low. The Broken Star Palace doesn’t need to make efforts like this to

make us turn against Shen Yanxiao. To be honest, our four countries really have little value in the eyes of the

Broken Star Palace.” Pei Yuan revealed a bitter smile.

As the convoys moved forward, the team of the four countries had moved from the Barren Land border to the

central position of the Barren Land.

Their goal was not The Rising Sun City. And as soon as they staggered away from the path leading to The Rising

Sun City, Pei Yuan decided that his first guess might be correct.

Ten days later, the convoys of the four countries stopped in front of a main city of the Barren Land.

Dim City, one of the five main cities of the Barren Land.

It was also a city that had been taken over by Shen Yanxiao.

When the rulers of the four countries saw this main city, their faces turned black.

This city had long been owned by Shen Yanxiao. Even if the Broken Star Palace were hidden in the Barren land, it

shouldn’t be in this city. Otherwise, both sides might have already fought at an earlier time.
