Imperial Palace.
Liu Xi came before the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, Prince Ye Chen didn't bring anyone from Fragrant Ink City. He only brought a small team with him and has already headed to the Heavenly South City," Liu Xi said immediately.
"What?" The Emperor was shocked.
The Emperor thought that Ye Chen would have some sort of plan, but the Emperor did not expect that Ye Chen would be so reckless and head straight for the Heavenly South City.
What was the difference…between this and sending himself to his death?
He originally thought that Ye Chen should still have some wisdom.
Could it be that this son of his did not have any wisdom?
Did he not know that there were thousands of troops and horses waiting for him in the Heavenly South City?
"Cough cough cough…" Thinking of this, the Emperor coughed again.
He was somewhat angry.
He did not expect that Ye Chen would actually make such a choice.
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry," Liu Xi quickly said.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the prince must have his own plan. Believe in His Highness!" Eunuch Liu continued.
The Emperor coughed twice.
Puff —
Immediately, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Majesty!"
At this time, the Emperor waved his hand and said, "I'm afraid I can't hold on for long. At this point, I can only believe in him."
…
Ye Chen and the others continued to head toward the Heavenly South City.
Ye Chen sat on the carriage and headed toward the Heavenly South City.
To Ye Chen's surprise, they did not encounter any danger along the way. They continued to head toward the Heavenly South City.
After walking for two days.
At this moment, they saw a city.
There was still a mile away from the city. They looked into the distance and saw a huge city standing in front of Ye Chen and the others.
With Ye Chen's vision, he saw the words 'Heavenly Cloud' written in the city.
It seemed that Heavenly Cloud City was ahead of them.
At this moment, Yang Xiao asked the team to stop.
"Your Highness, we are only one mile away from Heavenly Cloud City. Do you have any plans?" Yang Xiao quickly asked.
Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "Continue moving forward."
Ye Chen did not stop because he knew that this trip would definitely be extremely dangerous.
Moreover, he already had a plan.
His goal was not as simple as crossing the Heavenly South City. With Ye Chen's strength, if he wanted to cross the Heavenly South City, no one would be able to stop him.
His goal was to destroy the Sima family in Heavenly South City.
…
The Sima family.
Sima Tianchi sat in the City Lord's residence with a calm expression.
At this moment, a spy immediately came in front of Sima Tianchi and knelt down.
"City Lord, that Ye Chen has already arrived. Furthermore, he is about to enter the city."
"He didn't bring any troops?" Sima Tianchi asked indifferently.
The spy shook his head and said, "No, he only brought the small team that he brought from the Righteous Path Alliance."
"Hahaha…" At this moment, Sima Tianchi laughed, "I originally thought that this brat should have some intelligence since he was able to come out from Heavenly Cloud City. However, I didn't expect that he was actually an idiot.
"He came straight to our Heavenly South City. is he going to give us our heads now?" Sima Tianchi sneered.
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked out and came before the old man. He bowed and greeted, "Father."
The person who came was Sima Tianchi's son, Ji Xuan's uncle, Sima Zhaoxin.
"You're here!" Sima Tianchi said indifferently.
"Father, as long as we kill Ye Chen, Ji Xuan will definitely become the Emperor of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom. At that time, we can borrow Ji Xuan's hand and take control of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom." Sima Zhaoxin laughed coldly.
At this moment, Sima Tianchi laughed coldly and said, "That's right. Furthermore, that brat Ye Chen is already heading toward our Heavenly South City."
"He's here?" Sima Zhaoxin was extremely shocked.
"Did he bring along the army?" Sima Zhaoxin immediately asked.
Sima Tianchi shook his head and said, "He didn't bring along a single soldier."
When he said this, Sima Zhaoxin was extremely shocked.
He did not bring along a single soldier, yet he dared to come to their Heavenly South City. What was the difference between this and sending himself to his death?
"Father, will the Imperial Palace's army be able to make it in time?" Sima Zhaoxin immediately asked.
Sima Tianchi shook his head and said, "Hehe…if the Imperial Palace wants to reach Heavenly South City, they will need at least two more days. Therefore, even if the Heavenly King comes, he won't be able to save Ye Chen."
"Then, won't we…"
"You're right. From today onward, the Eastern Imperial Kingdom will belong to our Sima family. Hahahaha…" Sima Tianchi laughed.
"Then father, how should we deal with Ye Chen? Should we send an army to capture him?" Sima Zhaoxin immediately asked.
Sima Tianchi shook his head and said, "Since he doesn't know that there's an ambush in Heavenly South City, we'll let them in. Once they reach Heavenly South City, it'll be truly difficult for them to escape here!"
"Send someone to get the army stationed outside the city to come back and let them enter the city!" Sima Tianchi said coldly.
Initially, he thought that no matter what, Ye Chen would bring Zhang Mo and his army from Fragrant Ink City.
Hence, he had set up many military ambushes. As long as they arrived, he would be able to catch them off guard.
But now, Ye Chen did not bring an army. He only brought a few experts. Using an army to deal with the experts would only be a sea of people tactic. They would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Since they were experts, then they would put them in the city and use the experts of their Heavenly South City to deal with them.
