Upon hearing Sima Yi’s words, not only did Xiao Zhuang look moved, but Qin Tian was also affected.

He took a deep breath, patted Sima Yi’s head, and said, ”Alright, Xiao Yi, from now on, you are my brother, Qin Tian’s brother, and I will take care of you. I will never let anyone bully you!”

”Brother Qin Tian, I don’t need you to take care of me. Nobody dares to bully me.”

Unexpectedly, at such a young age, Sima Yi was quite confident.

Standing nearby, Xiao Zhuang felt concern and asked, ”Xiao Yi, do you know what happened in the Imperial City?”

”I know.”

This answer from Sima Yi surprised both Qin Tian and Xiao Zhuang.

Sima Yi then, with a serious expression, said, ”When my father sent me out of the Imperial City, I knew something big was going to happen. I didn’t expect it to be this significant… My father wanted me to live well, so I cannot cry, I must be strong!”

The manner and demeanor with which Sima Yi spoke left Qin Tian and Xiao Zhuang utterly astonished.

Such maturity at a young age was something they had never seen before in a child.

”Xiao Yi, how old are you?” Xiao Zhuang couldn’t help but ask.

”Twelve.” Sima Yi replied.

”Have you cultivated? To what level?”

Qin Tian remembered that Sima Tianchen mentioned in his letter that Sima Yi had decent cultivation talent, so he immediately asked.

”Nascent Soul Stage, Late Stage.”

Hiss!

As soon as Sima Yi spoke, Qin Tian and Xiao Zhuang, who thought they were mentally prepared, both gasped in shock!

My god, twelve years old, cultivated to the Nascent Soul Stage?

That’s too astonishing!

From Qi Refinement Realm, Primordial Pill Stage, Nascent Soul Stage to Transcendance Tribulation Stage, except for the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, each stage is divided into Early, Middle, Late, and Peak stages.

An ordinary twelve-year-old child, if they can reach the Qi Refining Late Stage, is already quite good.

A child with strong talent reaching the Primordial Pill Stage by twelve is possible.

Even a genius reaching the Middle or Late Stage of the Primordial Pill Stage by twelve is already considered astonishing.

But Sima Yi at hand, at twelve, had already surpassed the Primordial Pill Stage, reaching the Nascent Soul Stage!

And it’s not just the Nascent Soul Stage but the Late Stage!

Just two steps away from the Transcendance Tribulation Stage!

And once he crosses the Tribulation, that’s the Longevity Realm! Above the Longevity Realm, he’s already considered a top expert in the Spiritual Domain, reaching the Small Immortal Realm!

At such a young age, to reach such an extraordinary degree of cultivation, both Qin Tian and Xiao Zhuang found it hard to believe.

You should know, when Qin Tian was thirty, he had just about reached this cultivation level!

”Hehe, boss, it seems the State Preceptor wasn’t exaggerating. Xiao Yi’s talent is probably a rarity in hundreds of years.” Xiao Zhuang admired Sima Yi endlessly, saying, ”Xiao Yi, from now on, you are not only brother Qin Tian’s brother but also my brother, Xiao Zhuang’s brother. In the future, if you need anything, just let me know, and we will do our best to fulfill it. I hope you can grow rapidly.”

”Yes.”

Sima Yi nodded with determination.

Qin Tian could see that this was a mature child, at such a young age, without relatives, Qin Tian instructed Xiao Zhuang to take good care of him.

At the same time, Qin Tian also introduced Sima Yi to Zhou Yang, Lin Yu, Duan Xiaodao, and other brothers one by one.

...

That afternoon, news from the Imperial City started pouring into West Capital, all undoubtedly favorable to the West Capital.

First, as a result of the War God’s death, the entire Tianyuan Dynasty was shaken, and Emperor Xuan, feeling guilty, immediately withdrew the Imperial Capital Army, which was in a stalemate with Xu Kuan in Yueya City.

Following that, Emperor Xuan began to close the Imperial City, engaging in large-scale massacres, killing all suspicious persons, inhuman, leaving everyone in danger!

Of course, on the other hand, Emperor Xuan wasn’t foolish. He knew that with his key pillar, the War God, suddenly dying, the West Capital and the Dragon Clan might take action.

So, Emperor Xuan proactively sent envoys to Panlong Island, further ceding land to seek peace, requesting Long Tianwu, that if a fight breaks out with Qin Tian, Long Tianwu would support Emperor Xuan unconditionally.

As a price, Emperor Xuan incredibly offered the entire East State to the Dragon Clan!

Always unwilling to bow, Emperor Xuan at this time voluntarily made such a big concession, a humiliating agreement of ceding land for peace, which clearly showed how guilty he felt without the War God!

”Boss, our opportunity has come.”

In the military meeting in West Capital City, Lin Yu unhesitatingly suggested that Qin Tian dispatch troops, ”At this time, with the chaos in the Imperial City, the entire Tianyuan Dynasty is in turmoil. If we don’t deploy now, when will we?”

Duan Xiaodao also said, ”Yes, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Emperor Xuan, having suddenly lost his backbone, if we deploy now, it’s the final blow to him! At this moment in the Tianyuan Dynasty, probably no one can stop us.”

”Boss, the War God’s death and the chaos in the Imperial City provide an opportunity we must seize,” Zhou Yang pondered for a moment and then said, ”However, whether to deploy troops or force Emperor Xuan to also cede land for peace, or say, invite the Dragon Clan to jointly deploy troops to the Imperial City, we can discuss further.”

”Yes, deploying troops now, besides the Imperial City, fear that no other cities stand a chance against the West State Army.”

”Your Majesty, I also agree to deploy troops and strike straight to the heart. Even if Emperor Xuan doesn’t perish, he should be thoroughly weakened!”

Everyone eagerly volunteered for battle.

At this time, Qin Tian instead calmed down, not speaking.

”Boss, are you worried that if we deploy to the Imperial City, the Dragon Clan will take advantage and exploit us?”

Zhou Yang, noticing Qin Tian’s concern, softly asked.

”Yes.”

Qin Tian nodded, ”With the War God dead, the State Preceptor gone, the current Emperor Xuan only has a few Elder Council experts to help control the situation. The Golden Armor Army, especially the Black Hawk Army, has reportedly begun internal division, with some unwilling to continue serving Emperor Xuan. Heh, these two forces are no longer a concern.”

”Our strongest opponent now is the Dragon Clan. For so many years, the Dragon Clan has remained hidden, not taking action, and each time profiting as a bystander. Their strength has become extremely formidable. We even have no complete intelligence on their total military force. Do you think such an opponent is terrifying?”

Hearing this, Zhou Yang nodded: ”Indeed, under Long Tianwu’s leadership, the Dragon Clan has been rising, continuously plundering wealth from the West Continent. Currently, the entire East State has fallen into Long Tianwu’s hands. There is no doubt, this strongest woman of the Dragon Clan will not be content with just occupying East State. She probably has greater ambitions.”

”However, boss, with such an opportunity appearing in the Imperial City, we also can’t refrain from action because of potential risks. If the Dragon Clan gains the East State, we should also seize some advantage, shouldn’t we?” Zhou Yang shifted his tone and said.

Qin Tian surveyed the room, suddenly curious as he asked Zhou Yang, ”Everyone is here, where is the Left Strategist? Why isn’t he here?”
