Upon hearing the issuance of the sacred land's assassination order, Toumuer initially believed that Gu Chen was undoubtedly doomed and was quite pleased. But now, upon receiving news from Da Xia that the sacred land's assassination order had failed, and that Gu Chen had displayed divine might, the emperor of Da Yuan collapsed directly onto his bed, falling sick and unable to rise.
As a congenital realm martial arts grandmaster, Toumuer naturally had long since become invulnerable to all diseases. His condition was thus not one of bodily illness, but of a malaise of the heart.
Given the current state of Da Yuan, if the national teacher, Shiba Shitu, did not come out of seclusion, Gu Chen alone would be enough to annihilate the entire Da Yuan.
This situation was all too familiar to Toumuer, feeling as if he had seen it before because wasn't this precisely the predicament that Da Yuan had encountered facing the previous generation's emperor of Xia over two decades ago?
