Qi Manor's rebellion together with their declaration to establish the Great Qi Empire undoubtedly set off towering waves that swept across the entire Great Zhou Empire. Everyone feared that the events from many years ago would replay once again. For a time, everyone's hearts were shrouded in trepidation.

　　Qi Manor's rebellion together with their declaration to establish the Great Qi Empire undoubtedly set off towering waves that swept across the entire Great Zhou Empire. Everyone feared that the events from many years ago would replay once again. For a time, everyone's hearts were shrouded in trepidation.

　　It was at this time however that Wei Canglan appeared in Great Zhou City and announced with his status as the great general of the Great Zhou Empire that Qi Manor were rebels and will be dealt with using force.

　　Wei Canglan was a well known and respected figure in the Great Zhou Empire. It was only because he had not left Canglan County for the past few years that rumours that he and the royal clan were at odds had spread. His appearance immediately dispelled these rumours, while also slightly easing the troubled hearts of the citizens.

　　After Wei Canglan, the Black Venom King also made an appearance and proclaimed that Black Venom City had submitted to the Great Zhou Empire.

　　News of this caused wave after wave of uproar to spread. Who did not know of the infamous Black Venom City that constantly infringed on Great Zhou borders, but who could have imagined that such a ferocious character would chose to submit to Great Zhou at this juncture.

　　Although the news stupefied countless people, it also gave everyone a little more confidence in the Great Zhou royal clan. Hence, the people's hearts were put at ease.

　　While the addition of Wei Canglan and the Black Venom King bolstered the Great Zhou Empire's might and reputation, there was not even the slightest hint of any response from Qi Manor. They latter merely continued to train their forces as if completely unaffected.

　　King Qi, Qi Yuan, even sent out a declaration of war.

　　"Our troops will arrive at Great Zhou City after ten days."

　　This declaration immediately caused countless uproars. From the looks of it, Qi Yuan intended to tackle the root of the problem. Once Great Zhou City was breached, it was easy to imagine the fate of the royal clan.

　　Great Zhou would be overthrown.

　　The only thing that everyone did not understand was that since there were now three Alpha-Origin experts stationed in Great Zhou City, just where did Qi Yuan find the confidence to make such a declaration of war?

　　...

　　"Troops will arrive at Great Zhou City after ten days…"

　　In a certain courtyard, Zhou Yuan gazed at the declaration of war in his hands as a look of thought flitted across his eyes. This declaration clearly represented Qi Yuan's confidence.

　　Without this confidence, Qi Yuan the declaration would instead become a huge blow to his reputation if he ended up failing.

　　"Looks like he has obtained a tremendous amount of support from the Great Wu Empire."
