Villain: Her Imagination Makes Me Invincible

Chapter 38: Be clean and leave no future troubles

“Lord Demon Master, isn’t this approach… inappropriate?”

Xiao Xiangyu immediately asked, “If we give the Taixuan Empire enough time to prepare, won’t that just create more trouble?”

“We, the Demon Sect, can destroy one Taixuan Empire, and we can destroy two Taixuan Empires. No matter how much time we give them to prepare, so what?” Ling Xue replied calmly.

The insignificant Taixuan Empire posed no real threat.

Even if they had time to prepare and gather allies and experts for battle, the outcome would be the same: the Taixuan Empire would fall!

So, he planned to give them enough time. If others allied with the Taixuan Empire, it would be even better to take them all down together.

Furthermore, Ling Xue’s primary target was, of course, the original protagonist, Ye Feng!

Ye Feng, as the illegitimate son of the current Emperor of the Taixuan Empire, would inevitably learn of the Demon Sect’s impending invasion.

Afterward, he would discover his true lineage and know that he was a prince of the Taixuan Empire.*

[*” Taixuan Empire (太玄帝国)”: A powerful empire within the fictional setting, central to the ongoing conflict.]

If he were a typical protagonist, he would likely hide and endure, only to return one day, seeking revenge.

But unfortunately, Ye Feng wasn’t that kind of protagonist!

If he knew the Taixuan Empire was in trouble, he would certainly show up.

Even if he knew he was of no help, he would still show up!

This trait was similar to those self-righteous do-gooders who believed they were morally superior in times of crisis.

Such foolish protagonists would joke and play around on ordinary days, but when something serious happened, they would stand up and believe themselves to be righteous and compassionate.

Unaware that they were simply burdens.

At this point, Ye Feng was nothing more than a useless burden.

Thus, by publicizing this matter, Ye Feng would show up, allowing Ling Xue to personally kill him!

Ling Xue wanted to kill him himself, to be certain.

After all, he was the protagonist, and unless his ashes were scattered completely, there was no way to be sure.

Of course, Ling Xue could go after Ye Feng right now.

Ye Feng was a disciple of the Lingxu Sect, the same sect as Yun Luoxi!

But Ye Feng was the protagonist, and if some sudden twist of fate protected him, it would only alert him, making things more difficult later.

So… directly attacking the Taixuan Empire would force Ye Feng to show up!

At that point, it would be a clean and thorough elimination, leaving no future problems!

Hearing Ling Xue’s words, everyone nodded lightly: “Understood!”

Since Ling Xue was so confident, they would follow his lead.

After all, they had witnessed this new Demon Master’s abilities firsthand.

Without further delay, they began gathering the various divisions of the Demon Sect and moved the headquarters to Cangyun Sky Mountain.

Then, they began preparing to attack the Taixuan Empire.

And they made the matter public!

As soon as news of the Demon Sect’s impending invasion of the Taixuan Empire spread, it naturally caused a stir.

Especially in the Yuanyang Continent,* where many factions started to grow restless.

[*” Yuanyang Continent (元泱大陆)”: A fictional continent where powerful factions and forces compete.]

Taixuan Empire.

As one of the top powers on the Yuanyang Continent, the Taixuan Empire had a foundation that stretched back a thousand years.

However, being targeted by the Demon Sect would make even the mightiest force tremble.

Previously, the Taixuan Empire had sent Cheng Ying with several Sky Profound Realm experts to join forces with other factions to test Ling Xue.

In the end, Cheng Ying never returned!

Instead, bad news came back: the Demon Sect planned to wipe out the Taixuan Empire.

It was obvious without saying that Cheng Ying had died, along with all the people they sent.

Their attempt to test Ling Xue had resulted in the Demon Sect’s retaliation.

Imperial Capital, Taixuan Empire, the Royal Palace.

In the grand hall, the civil and military officials of the entire court had gathered.

Sitting on the throne was a middle-aged man dressed in imperial robes.

This man was none other than the Emperor of the Taixuan Empire, Ye Dingtian!

At this moment, the entire court was silent, and Ye Dingtian’s expression was heavy with worry.

It was rumored that in the Cangyun Sky Mountain tomb, the Demon Sect had killed ten Divine Source Realm experts and over two hundred Sky Profound Realm cultivators in one go.

With such terrifying power, how could the Taixuan Empire possibly resist?  

Now, with the Demon Sect’s army preparing to attack, how would the Taixuan Empire respond?  

“What’s the current situation?” Ye Dingtian asked slowly from his throne.

His voice was filled with a heavy, despairing fear.

“Your Majesty, the entire empire is now… in a state of preparation for war! All available forces are converging on the imperial capital!”

“However… the people’s hearts are restless. Many have learned of the impending Demon Sect invasion and… have fled the empire.”

“Most of the common people in the capital have already left!”

One by one, the officials reported the current state of affairs.

The entire empire was preparing for war.

From top to bottom, the country was in chaos.

Not to mention the civilians, even some of the empire’s military forces were secretly retreating.

Especially in the capital.

The once bustling imperial capital was now deserted, with barely anyone left on the streets.

The Demon Sect had declared its intent to destroy the empire, and no one wanted to stay in the capital and wait for death!

No one believed the empire could stand against the Demon Sect.

Ye Dingtian nodded and then said, “Send out a decree calling for all experts within the empire to join the imperial army!”

“Additionally, send word beyond the empire, requesting aid from all major powers!”

“The Demon Sect is targeting the Taixuan Empire first! Once they’re done with us, the others won’t be spared!”

“Tell them that if they want to survive, they’d better all join forces!”

He added, “This was the only way to respond to the Demon Sect’s impending invasion. Within the empire, all experts and armies had to be gathered.”

“Outside the empire, the major factions that had joined forces against Ling Xue should support the Taixuan Empire as well.”

“Otherwise… the empire would surely fall!”

“And after the Taixuan Empire fell, who would be next?”

“It would naturally be the other six major factions that had tried to attack Ling Xue in the ancient tomb!”
