Chapter 282: Chapter 282: Meng Jiaxin’s Life Hangs by a Thread

Ye Feng looked at him and spoke calmly, "You still think you have a future? You’re dreaming. Since you’re so willing to be someone else’s lapdog, I’ll grant your wish.

From now on, you are no longer the Minister of War. You can focus on being Wu Xiu’s dog. Now, get out."

Wei Tong stared at Ye Feng, utterly dumbfounded.

’So after all that, I still couldn’t escape my fate of being dealt with!’

He shot Ye Feng a resentful glance and turned to leave.

Once outside the courtyard, his face instantly turned ashen, and his eyes filled with venom. He gritted his teeth and said, "Ye Feng, I may not be able to do anything to you, but someone else can. If you’re going to push me to a dead end, don’t blame me for what comes next."

With that, he took out his phone and made a call.

...

Elder’s Residence,

East Wing,

The Grand Elder looked at Ye Feng and sighed. "Ye Feng, you didn’t have to offend Her Majesty the Empress for my sake."

Ye Feng chuckled. "Grand Elder, you are righteous and upstanding, and you’ve dedicated your life to the Great Xia Empire. I couldn’t stand by and watch you get expelled from the Ministry of War.

Besides, you’ve helped me many times. Now that you’re in trouble, it’s only right for me to step in. That’s why I intervened today.

You say I’ve offended Wu Xiu? Heh, is this the first time I’ve offended her? What’s one more time to me?"

A flash of gratitude appeared in the Grand Elder’s eyes as he looked at Ye Feng. "Good child. You’ve saved my life twice, and now you’ve risked offending the Empress to stand up for me so forcefully. This debt... I, Xuanyuan Sword, will remember it."

Ye Feng walked toward the exit with his hands behind his back, his hearty laughter echoing behind him. "Old man, don’t get so sentimental. Just treat me to a good drink later."

The Grand Elder laughed heartily and nodded. "No problem. I’ll have my best wine ready for you anytime."

As he spoke, he rose to see Ye Feng out. But just then, his phone rang urgently. The Grand Elder stopped, took out his phone to answer, and after listening for a moment, his expression changed drastically. "What? Something happened to the Meng War God?"

After hanging up, the Grand Elder looked at Cyan Dragon and shouted, "Quick! Bring Ye Feng back! Something major has happened!"

Cyan Dragon acknowledged the order and ran out. Soon, Ye Feng returned, looking at the Grand Elder with a wry smile. "Grand Elder, it looks like I really can’t join you for a drink tonight..."

Before he could finish, the Grand Elder cut him off anxiously:

"Ye Feng, something terrible has happened! The sixteen-nation coalition army has invaded the Eastern Domain! The Meng War God was on her way back to the Imperial Capital when she heard the news. She returned to command the battle, but she was outnumbered and is now heavily surrounded. Her life is hanging by a thread..."

"They dare to touch my Senior Sister? They deserve to die." Before the Grand Elder could finish, Ye Feng’s face turned ice-cold. A terrifying killing intent instantly filled the air. The next moment, he strode toward the exit, his cold voice trailing behind him:

"Grand Elder, I need you to arrange a private jet for me immediately. I’m going to the Eastern Domain right now to save my Eldest Senior Sister."

The Grand Elder started to say something, but stopped and changed his words. "Alright. I’ll arrange it right away. You go on ahead. I’ll follow shortly."

Ye Feng rushed out, making a call as he ran. "Kirin Battalion, hear my command! All units of the Kirin Battalion are to proceed to the Eastern Domain of the Great Xia Empire at top speed. No delays!"

He hung up and immediately made another call. "Ouyang Nan, listen to my orders..."

...

Back in the room, Cyan Dragon looked at the Grand Elder with concern.

"Grand Elder, the sixteen-nation coalition army has ten million soldiers. If he goes alone, I’m afraid..."

The Grand Elder said in a cold voice:

"Go alone? Impossible. You underestimate Ye Feng. How could the disciple of the Old Immortal have no foundation? Still, I should also do something."

After speaking, he looked at Cyan Dragon and said, "Get me Marshal Wu Cheng of the border command on the phone!"

Cyan Dragon nodded, quickly dialed the number, and handed the phone to the Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder took the phone and got straight to the point. "Marshal Wu, the Cold War God in the Eastern Domain is surrounded by the sixteen-nation coalition army. I need you to dispatch troops to rescue her immediately!"

A sarcastic voice came from the phone: "I’ve heard the news as well. I’d love to send troops to rescue her, but unfortunately, the borders are on fire. There are battles everywhere. I simply have no troops to dispatch.

Anyway, I’m busy over here. Goodbye!"

The line quickly went dead with a DIAL TONE.

"Bastard!" The Grand Elder’s face turned ashen with rage.

Standing beside him, Cyan Dragon said helplessly, "Grand Elder, Wu Cheng holds all the military authority at the border. If he refuses to send troops, what can we do?"

The Grand Elder shot to his feet and turned to walk out. "Drive to the Imperial Palace. I must have an audience with the Emperor."

Cyan Dragon acknowledged and left quickly. He soon brought the car to the door, and with the Grand Elder inside, sped off toward the Imperial Palace.

...

The Imperial Palace was a festive scene, adorned with lanterns and colorful decorations, the air filled with the sound of gongs and drums.

The wedding ceremony of Princess Long Xi’Er and the Prince Consort, Ye Feng, was to be held at the palace tonight, so the place had long since become a sea of celebration.

Hall of Mental Cultivation,

Long Ao sat there, leisurely sipping his tea. Just then, the Chief Eunuch, Cheng Lin, came to report, "Your Majesty, all preparations are complete. We only await the auspicious hour!"

Long Ao smiled and nodded. "After tonight, Ye Feng will be my Prince Consort. Haha..."

His words had just faded when the Grand Elder entered from outside, knelt before Long Ao, and kowtowed. "Your subject, Xuanyuan Sword, requests an audience with Your Majesty!"

Seeing the Grand Elder’s ruddy and healthy complexion, Long Ao’s face brightened instantly. "Beloved Minister, I heard you were unwell, but you look to be in fine spirits now!"

The Grand Elder replied respectfully, "It was Ye Feng who treated me and cured my illness!"

Long Ao laughed heartily. "Excellent! Beloved Minister, tonight you shall drink heartily with me to celebrate the grand wedding of Ye Feng and the princess."

But the Grand Elder shook his head, his expression turning grave. "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened..."

He quickly explained what had happened.

"What? The Meng War God is surrounded by the sixteen-nation coalition army and is in imminent danger? How dare they!" Upon hearing this, Long Ao shot to his feet and said coldly:

"Those bastards! To dare provoke the might of my Great Xia Empire, they deserve to die!

Grand Elder, immediately order Marshal Wu to dispatch troops, break the siege on the Meng War God, and while you’re at it, wipe out the sixteen-nation coalition army for me!"

The Grand Elder shook his head, his expression grim. "Your Majesty, I have already contacted Marshal Wu. He claims the border situation is tense and he has no troops to spare..."

"Wu Cheng is audacious!" Long Ao’s face darkened instantly. "Someone, recall Wu Cheng at once! I want him to give me an explanation..."

Cheng Lin acknowledged the order and was about to turn and leave when Long Ao called out again, "Wait! There’s no time for that now!"

He then looked at the Grand Elder. "If the border troops can’t be moved, then mobilize all the garrisons near the Imperial Capital and send them to the Eastern Domain! You must rescue the Meng War God! And you must bring Ye Feng back to me safely!"

Hearing this, the Grand Elder was aghast. "Your Majesty, you mustn’t! The capital garrisons are responsible for the security of the capital region. If they are all deployed, who will protect you if something happens?"

Long Ao gave a disdainful smile. "Don’t worry, nothing will happen to me. Besides, Ye Feng not only saved my life, but he is also now my Prince Consort. How can I allow any harm to come to him? Mobilize the troops at once. No delays!"

"Your subject obeys!" the Grand Elder replied, thrilled. He quickly turned and left. Once outside, he took out his phone and sent a text message to Ye Feng: "Ye Feng, I am mobilizing an army of two million to the Eastern Domain to assist you."

Ye Feng, who was about to board the plane, glanced at his phone and replied with just one word: "Thanks."

With that, he boarded the plane directly.

The private jet taxied onto the runway, rapidly accelerated, and tilted its nose up, lifting straight into the air. It quickly vanished into the clouds, roaring toward the Eastern Domain.
