Chapter 2477: The Four Nations Pay Respects (1)

The return of her little friends in Phantom nally caused the stone in Shen Yanxiao's heart to be lifted. In

the next few days, Shen Yanxiao had been concentrating on creating sacred tools for Qi Xia and the

others. Soon, several sacred tools in the form of rings were created through the operations of Shen

Yanxiao. The sacred tools of all of the members of Phantom were in the form of a ring, just like Shen

Yanxiao's. Even though the properties and the additional elemental powers were dierent, the shapes

were basically the same.

According to the words of Qi Xia and the others, such an in-sync feeling was exactly what they wanted!

After they obtained their respective sacred tools, Shen Yanxiao had them return to their main cities to

check on the pre-war preparations.

She herself stayed in The Rising Sun City to oversee everything.

At the same time, the four sealed letters had been delivered to the four nations.

Lan Yue Dynasty.

The king looked at the gilded letters in his hand, his eyes erratic. On one side, the distinguished ocials all

had dierent expressions on their faces.

“Your Majesty, has Shen Yanxiao really come back?” An earl spoke in a low voice. Shen Yanxiao had been

away from the Radiance Continent for more than two years. During this period of time, there had been no

news from her at all. Perhaps it was due to too much fear; they might have forgotten Shen Yanxiao's

existence subconsciously. However, when they heard the news of Shen Yanxiao appearing once again,

everyone's heart couldn't help but tremble.

The king put down the letter and looked up at the tense crowd in the hall. At last, he said slowly, “You

have made a mistake.”

The earl was shocked.

“You should call her Lord instead of using her real name. You are too disrespectful.” The king looked at

the earl in a reproachful manner.

The earl immediately swallowed his saliva and knelt on the ground.

“It was my mistake.”

The att.i.tude of the Lan Yue Dynasty's king had been clearly expressed with these words.

Shen Yanxiao was the overlord of the Barren Land. Despite being a young girl, she was acknowledged as

an overlord by the king of a country, putting her position far above his own, that of a mere earl.

“Your Majesty, does the Lord have anything to say to us?” Another high-ranking ocial asked cautiously.

Even though Shen Yanxiao had not been in the Radiance Continent in recent years, her power had been

expanding uninterruptedly.

The Silver Hands, Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps, Broken Star Palace, demon army… Shen Yanxiao's power

grew at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed.

The number of outstanding talents sent by the Lan Yue Dynasty to the Broken Star Palace for training had

been quite large. Most of them were elites selected from various major forces of the Lan Yue Dynasty, and

there were also many children of various n.o.bles. However, the admission to the Broken Star Palace was

subject to strict screening conditions. As long as they failed to pa.s.s the examination of the Broken Star

Palace, even if they were sent to the Barren Land, they would be returned to their country without mercy.

In the beginning, the four countries still did not know the intention of the Broken Star Palace and were

deeply afraid of Shen Yanxiao controlling the emperor and commanding the ocials. Therefore, the rst

batch of people they had sent to the Barren Land were all those with good real qualications but no

background.

But when they realized that the Broken Star Palace was really attentively training the people they had

sent, many ocials wanted to send their children or cronies to the Broken Star Palace for further training.

Of course, this kind of nepotism did not get the desired eect. Those who coveted to enter the Broken

Star Palace through the back door were all thrown out by the Saint Professionals of the Broken Star

Palace.

Although the Broken Star Palace had submitted to Shen Yanxiao, she still gave them enough respect. As

long as the Saint Professionals of the Broken Star Palace saw people as unpleasant to the eye, they could

dispose of people on their own.
