Chapter 763: 坦诚相见

"My Lord, what should we do next? The internal conflicts among the Five Great Dynasties have now reached an irreconcilable point. We must use war, a decisive victory, to defend the honor of our Ancient Xia Dynasty."

Hearing the Crown Prince's indignant tone, Xu Yang calmly nodded.

"I understand your current thoughts perfectly. In fact, even if you don't want to fight, the alliance of the other Four Great Dynasties will force you into it. What's more, the Grand Marshal leading their alliance is a member of the Divine Race. This unified attack on your Ancient Xia Dynasty is clearly orchestrated by the Divine Race."

The Crown Prince sighed helplessly, "I truly don't know how we offended those in the Divine Realm."

Observing the Crown Prince's distressed expression, Xu Yang's gaze suddenly became more serious.

"To be frank, I came to see you this time precisely to get that answer. I don't believe the Divine Race would simply join forces with the Four Great Dynasties to attack you without reason. Of course, a small part of this is likely due to my team, but the more significant reason, I suspect, is known only to you, Crown Prince. Your willingness to be honest with me will depend on your attitude towards me today."

Xu Yang's expression remained calm, but the Crown Prince, being a shrewd individual, naturally understood that Xu Yang was asking for a stance from him—an attitude that would directly impact the level of energy and involvement Xu Yang's team would commit to this ultimate confrontation.

If he were to inadvertently offend Xu Yang, the Ancient Xia Dynasty could very well be relegated to history under the combined might of the Four Great Dynasties. Without the protection of Xu Yang's team, the Crown Prince had no confidence whatsoever in his ability to defeat the united Four Great Dynasties. In short, Xu Yang's team was now the Ancient Xia Dynasty's greatest protector. No matter how bold the Crown Prince was, he would absolutely not dare to offend Xu Yang at such a critical juncture.

"Very well. Since you have brought it up yourself, there's no need for me to conceal anything from you. However, this secret concerns the very survival of the Ancient Xia Dynasty. I hope that after learning the truth, you will be able to fully protect our lineage. I am entrusting all my hope into your hands."

Xu Yang offered a satisfied smile. "I never let anyone who cooperates with me suffer a loss. Rest assured, as long as you are willing to be honest with me, then in the coming battle, as long as my team stands, the Ancient Xia Dynasty will certainly achieve ultimate victory."

After receiving such a weighty promise from Xu Yang, a heavy burden was finally lifted from the Crown Prince's heart. He sighed, his eyes becoming slightly more distant.

"It's like this: Years ago, our Ancient Xia Dynasty's warriors, while on patrol, accidentally discovered a peculiar formation. Later, using a secret method of primordial power, we detected that this formation is likely the portal that opens the passage to the Boundless Moon Heaven realm."

"Although we immediately took strong measures, ordering every warrior in the Ancient Xia Dynasty never to reveal this secret, as the saying goes, 'there are no airtight walls.' Every power among the Five Great Dynasties has spies from the other four, so it wasn't long before this news spread like wildfire. After the Divine Realm learned of this, they began to organize over a dozen raids of various scales, one after another. Their objective was clear: to find every opportunity to crush our Ancient Xia Dynasty and seize this astonishing secret."

Xu Yang was filled with shock upon hearing the Crown Prince's account.

"From what you're saying, it seems no one from the Divine Realm has been able to enter the Boundless Moon Heaven all these years!"

The Crown Prince nodded gravely. "Indeed. Not only has the Divine Realm failed to succeed, but even the lineage of the Divine Imperial Prince of Cloud Capital, high above the clouds, has always coveted the inner heritage of the Boundless Moon Heaven. However, this heritage is simply too mysterious and powerful. It is said to be guarded by an incredibly formidable tradition known as the Luminous Moon lineage, which possesses supreme law-based powers comparable to those of the heavens. Therefore, without absolute certainty, no hidden power would dare to easily attempt to touch the foundations of the Boundless Moon Heaven. Once a particular restriction is angered, no one is willing to bear such an irresistible wrath."

Xu Yang nodded thoughtfully. "In that case, can you take me to see this so-called Boundless Moon Heaven entrance now? Perhaps I might also find some useful clues inside."

This time, the Crown Prince didn't try to hold anything back from Xu Yang. He clearly understood that Xu Yang's power was immense, and trying to conceal anything from him would be exceedingly difficult.

"Alright, I can certainly take you to that place. However, before that, I believe we should first resolve the situation on the plains battlefield."

Considering the situation from the Crown Prince's perspective, his request was not unreasonable. After all, a place that could conceal a heritage like the Boundless Moon Heaven passage was certainly no ordinary location, and even if the Crown Prince could take Xu Yang there, it would take time. Meanwhile, the plains battlefield concentrated almost all the defensive power of the Five Great Dynasties, facing a siege from the allied forces of the Four Great Dynasties. If the main battlefield's issues were not resolved, the Crown Prince would be uneasy.

Xu Yang nodded with a clear smile. "I can understand the reason behind your request. In that case, I will take you with me to the plains battlefield so you can witness firsthand how I resolve this trouble. In exchange, after we secure victory on the plains battlefield, you must clear the Boundless Moon Heaven portal passage for me."

The Crown Prince was overjoyed to hear this, nodding repeatedly. "My Lord, please rest assured. Even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare to deceive you. As long as the heritage of my Ancient Xia Dynasty can be preserved, nothing else matters to me."

As soon as the Crown Prince finished speaking, Xu Yang immediately seized him, soaring into the air, and brought him to the plains battlefield in just a few moments.

At this moment, the Ancient Xia Dynasty armies from all four directions, led by the various prominent figures from Xu Yang's team, were already confronting the main forces of the Four Great Dynasties alliance in the center of the plains battlefield.

"This is outrageous! Our Ancient Xia Dynasty has always maintained good relations with each of the Four Great Dynasties' alliances and has never deliberately offended any of them. Yet, this is the outcome we face!" The Crown Prince grew increasingly enraged as he saw the tense standoff before him. However, Xu Yang merely chuckled at the sight.

"There's no need for you to be so resentful. Before long, I guarantee that all the leaders of the Four Great Dynasties will bow down to you in submission."
