Chapter 1534: Chapter 409: The Great Elder Sheds His Confucian Robe to Reveal the Hunting God—Go Forth, Xi Xi; Only When the Young Eagle Leaves the Nest Does It Learn to Fly
The eagle screeched long and loud, tearing through from above the nine heavens!
A red eagle, like a mass of flame, beat its wings and plummeted from the sky like a meteor, breaking through the clouds, revealing the majestic, towering palace temple!
Divine Capital, First City!
Imperial Palace.
Cloud Palace.
The red eagle crashed like a meteor onto the White Jade Square in front of the Cloud Palace, a haze of dust rising and rolling continuously.
The eagle, small in the sky, was a giant creature when it landed.
The purple-clothed Eunuch Lian walked out leisurely, arriving before the eagle in a few steps, feeding it a Treasure Elixir, after which the eagle turned its head and pecked at its body.
A fiery red eagle feather was plucked and handed to Mr. Lian.
Mr. Lian only glanced at it, his eyes revealing a trace of astonishment.
After patting the eagle, he turned and hastily walked into the Cloud Palace, still appearing respectful despite his brisk pace.
Cloud Palace, main hall.
The Emperor, clad in a bright yellow robe, sat above, while below, the four princes listened respectfully to the Emperor’s teachings.
The Eldest Prince, Second Prince, Third Prince, and Fourth Prince… Lu Chi!
Lu Chi, now favored and backed by the State Preceptor, had risen in status within the Divine Capital, no longer the unloved, weak prince of old.
Though his cultivation was not high, the Emperor suddenly seemed much satisfied with Lu Chi, speaking with noticeably more affection.
“Your Majesty, the news from Qianyuan Dao City…”
Mr. Lian bowed and said respectfully, holding the red eagle feather.
The Emperor gestured, and the feather flew into his hand, bringing a sudden silence to the Cloud Palace.
No one dared to breathe.
Everyone knew that the Emperor had ordered the State Preceptor to lead an army, allied with top-level experts from various Great Divine Sects, to conquer the mountains and destroy the Qian Yuan Divine Sect.
Thus, the intelligence brought by the red feather was likely military information.
The red feather demon beast was used by the Dajing Army for transmitting intelligence.
After reading, the Emperor’s face, a blend of divinity and qi-blood, remained unreadable, but his eyes betrayed a seething anger felt by all in the hall.
“Useless!”
“Two Divine Tribulations, so many top-level peaks, even Ji Moli participated, yet they ended up like this, couldn’t promptly capture Qianyuan Dao City, even retreated eight hundred li, utterly disgracing the Imperial Court.”
The Emperor spoke coldly.
“Now they have the face to ask me to decree, mobilize the old Dragon God of the Dragon God Clan!”
“Ji Moli, with such cultivation, how could he be killed on the spot? King Ping Luan… this is how you quell chaos? Useless!”
The Emperor’s voice echoed like thunder throughout the room.
Causing everyone’s spirits to quiver uncontrollably.
The four princes didn’t dare to breathe.
Lu Chi, head lowered, was slightly moved and secretly pleased upon hearing about the Qian Yuan Divine Sect resisting the court army, even securing a great victory.
Quickly though, Lu Chi felt the Emperor’s gaze sweep over.
“Chi’er, tell me, with the Qian Yuan Divine Sect being so rebellious, daring to attack the court army and even slaughters court officials, should they not be extinguished?!”
The Emperor’s voice cold and fierce, the majestic pressure filling the palace, made Lu Chi feel utterly cold.
This gazes seemed to mock him.
Lu Chi clenched his five fingers hard, but soon, lifted his head slowly, his face calm.
Neither joy nor sorrow.
“Great Vista’s majesty is inviolable, Qian Yuan Divine Sect…”
“Should be extinguished.”
As Lu Chi spoke, his eyes appeared hollow.
The Emperor’s deep laughter suddenly echoed in the palace.
It lingered for a while.
“Mr. Lian, convey my decree, let the old Dragon God of the Dragon God Clan enter our borders!”
…
…
Whoosh whoosh whoosh——
The night was as deep as water, thick to the point of being inextricable.
The raging Grand Canal continued to roar, seeming to be intimidated by the might of the army, constantly erupting waves.
Perhaps, it was stirred by the horrifying aura of the two Divine Tribulation experts from the Dajing Army, causing Heaven and Earth Will to rage and convey from within the Grand Canal.
The night wind howled incessantly.
The temperature dropped, and snow began to fall from the sky, covering the earth in a white coat.
Xie Yushen, in white attire, strolled through the snow of the campground, the cloth on his body fluttered continuously, clinging tightly.
His beard caught snowflakes, making him appear somewhat wistful.
Xie Yushen never imagined he would face such a crushing defeat.
Indeed, a crushing defeat, although the enemy also lost a top-level peak, Xie Yushen felt their side suffered more, inexplicably, just his intuition.
Though it was mostly Sect Masters of various Great Divine Sects who died.
Ji Moli, though exploded, didn’t really die, using the Rebirth Technique to come back to life, but for this life, perhaps a city’s citizens might be slaughtered again.
Xie Yushen disapproved of Ji Moli’s actions, yet did not stop him, due to their cooperation.
“State Preceptor… with such a defeat, would the Emperor agree to our invitation of the Dragon God from the Dragon God Clan for assistance?”
