Chapter 677 - 480: The Final Mutual Destruction

Perhaps no one expected that the upheaval in the Cangyan Realm would come so quickly.

After Zheng Yi slew the Eastern King Zhao Kongqing with a single sword strike, the entire Eastern State seemed like a punctured balloon, with the situation completely collapsing.

The Xingmin Army barely exerted any effort to take control of the situation in the Eastern State.

The other three states, as if responding to Zheng Yi’s actions, saw the forces of the Rebel Army sweep across the land like a raging wildfire.

With Zheng Yi’s secret support, the disciples he previously released taught their students, none of whom were easy to deal with, pushing the Imperial Court’s army into retreat.

Less than five years.

The kings of the other three states were forced to retreat and defend themselves in the Central State.

Dragon Gate Town, before the Dragon Gate.

Four rebel armies gathered here.

Hex Chengpi was curiously sizing up Zheng Yi, his eyes full of eager anticipation, seemingly unable to suppress his urge to compete with Zheng Yi.

Xiaolang was full of curiosity; he clearly remembered that this was the man his master called a benefactor.

Only the situation in the Northern State was somewhat unique.

Four fierce men surrounded a beautiful woman.

This woman was known as the Nine-tailed Fox, described as cunning and resourceful.

Zheng Yi found it interesting that the four men’s bodies carried the unique aura of the Cultivation Technique he created.

However, each person’s aura was different.

Clearly, they all learned incompletely and eventually followed their own paths.

Only the woman, Zheng Yi was truly unfamiliar with; she probably hadn’t learned the cultivation technique he created.

"Everyone, it’s time for us to attack the Zhao Family’s stronghold in the Central State."

"We all know how perilous it is here."

"If we keep fighting separately like before, the Zhao Family might exploit the opportunity to defeat us individually. It benefits none of us."

The Nine-tailed Fox teased sweetly, her charming eyes seemed to mesmerize one’s soul: "What’s Mr. Hex’s opinion?"

Hex Chengpi burst into laughter and said: "My opinion is simple, we should at least choose a leader. We should stand together instead of being ignorant of each other’s actions."

The Nine-tailed Fox covered her mouth, chuckling softly: "Mr. Hex makes a good point, but how do we choose this leader? Surely we don’t start fighting each other before attacking the Central State?"

Xiaolang’s somewhat immature voice rang out: "I would like to nominate Mr. Zheng Yi as our leader."

The Nine-tailed Fox’s gaze suddenly changed but quickly hid it, remaining charming as before.

"So it seems, Mr. Hex appears to have prepared well. This little sister has no choice but to follow, regardless."

Xiaolang’s reaction was entirely unexpected to Hex Chengpi.

Originally, he thought Xiaolang, though successfully taking over a state, was still a wet-behind-the-ears youth.

Rumor had it that the Nine-tailed Fox was clever and resourceful, but she was, after all, just a woman.

The rest would come down to a struggle between him and Zheng Yi.

Unexpectedly, before he could even start contemplating, Xiaolang had already nominated Zheng Yi, creating a rift with the Nine-tailed Fox.

In such a scenario, cooperation between him and the Nine-tailed Fox was almost impossible.

Hex Chengpi was decisive, switching his tone with a hearty laugh: "Brother Xiaolang is right, I too believe Mr. Zheng is best suited to be our leader."

After saying this, Hex Chengpi felt his military advisor’s murderous glare had diminished significantly.

By now, Hex Chengpi clearly knew who his advisor’s teacher really was.

Even though the legendary Mr. Zheng was said to be an Immortal God descended, Hex Chengpi didn’t feel he was much inferior.

When it was time to contend, he still wanted to try.

Unfortunately, before he took a step, he had already failed.

The Nine-tailed Fox still seemed intent on opposing, but her four followers were whispering persuasively in her ear.

Soon, she lost her temper.

"In that case, I too nominate Mr. Zheng."

Though these people didn’t know that their cultivation technique was taught by Zheng Yi’s disciples, they could clearly sense Zheng Yi’s suppression.

While they were both rebels and wouldn’t attack each other, if it truly came down to a fight, the four of them together could probably not even touch a hair on Zheng Yi.

The alliance of the Four States Rebel Army was established.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my position as Alliance Leader will only be effective during our attack on the Central State."

"I can guarantee absolute fairness and equality, without sacrificing anyone’s interests to satisfy another."

"Once we secure victory, our alliance can immediately disband, and my words as Alliance Leader will no longer hold any power."

"I only wish that before we eradicate the Zhao Family, the parasite draining the Cangyan Realm’s blood, we remain united and cooperate sincerely."

Hex Chengpi raised his glass: "Mr. Zheng’s... no! What the Alliance Leader said was excellent, I, Hex Chengpi, also swear not to sabotage the bigger picture for selfish desires."

Xiaolang spoke few words: "I will follow the Alliance Leader’s orders."

The Nine-tailed Fox smiled charmingly: "We, of course, are no exception."

In front of the massive Dragon Sect, the Four States Rebel Army gathered together.

The expected resistance did not appear.

It was as if the Zhao Family had completely given up their rule over the Four States of the World.

Zheng Yi held the treasured sword in hand.

"The Emperor’s wrath, leaving corpses forgotten!"

Sword Qi pierced through the heavens, thundering through the Dragon Sect.

The Dragon Sect collapsed, and upon witnessing the scene inside, everyone couldn’t help but gasp.
