Chapter 837 - 238: Human Emperor and Li Yuan

Chapter 837: Chapter 238: Human Emperor and Li Yuan

Xiaozhao said, "Still not releasing!"

The Barbarian King was out of patience.

He had actually heard some rumors long ago, like how over the past decade, his wife had often made small talk with this nun at the gates of the Divine Tomb.

But despite all her attempts, his wife could never enter the Divine Tomb.

If she dared to enter, the nun would immediately change her attitude.

Now he understood.

Once Big Sister decided on something, not even an Immortal could change it.

"Ha...hahahaha..." The Barbarian King suddenly burst into laughter; he stopped struggling and simply lay flat, gazing at the sky.

The sky was shimmering with golden light, and the clouds had turned golden.

Behind the golden light was an indistinct human face overlooking all living beings.

Covered in blood, the Barbarian King suddenly felt a sense of peace; he softly said "Thank you, Big Sister," then closed his eyes, awaiting death.

In his view, the Human Emperor would never spare him.

And the reason he hadn’t immediately drawn his sword was entirely for the strategy of "encircle but do not advance."

Just like that, those who were originally hiding, one by one, appeared. The Human Emperor slaughtered them like ants, one after the other.

How satisfying was this slaughter?

Surely the Human Emperor didn’t expect to encounter such a foolishly strong individual.

The Barbarian King sighed inwardly.

Thirty-six Celestial Soul experts just barely managed to bring him to the river, but what use was it? It was simply not worthwhile!

...

On the high mountain.

The observing Xiao Wu Ya painfully spread his black wings to hug the Illusionary Sparrow beside him.

"They’re dying, they’re dying, father." Xiao Wu Ya shouted anxiously while watching from a distance.

The Illusionary Sparrow remained silent, calmly observing the situation, then suddenly wrote on the ground with his talon: "Not necessarily."

In their view, the Human Emperor merely paused by the river.

The magnificent figure high above the clouds gradually disappeared, transforming into the young Emperor in humble attire.

The Emperor sheathed his sword, withdrew his blade.

He Si carried the Dragon Banner, and the flag fluttered fiercely.

Ying Shanxing looked curiously at the Emperor beneath the Dragon Banner, unable to understand why the Emperor suddenly stopped and ceased the slaughter.

"I am tired," the young Emperor closed his eyes, raised his hand, and gently supported his forehead.

Ying Shanxing realized then and said, "Your Majesty, should we deploy our forces to pursue?"

Ji Hu replied calmly, "Ying Qing should decide on his own."

Ying Shanxing gritted his teeth and said, "We must not give the Barbarians a chance to rise again, Your Majesty..."

Ji Hu waved his hand, signaling him to say no more, and act directly.

Ying Shanxing then drove his horse forward, gave the order, and at the higher signal stations, flags waved. The army behind the Human Emperor instantly raised their morale, with each transforming into an illusion about ten meters long, starting to chase the retreating barbarian soldiers.

In the Central Plains, the land was rich in resources, especially in recent years, where Sixth Grade and Fifth Grade resources emerged like bamboo shoots after rain. Now they swarmed forward; those flying in the sky, those running on the ground, like a dark beast tide chasing after the defeated Barbarian Race like a dog.

The Barbarian Race had only crossed half, and many who hadn’t managed to cross the river were directly bitten by the troops of Great Zhou.

A brutal fight ensued on both sides, the panicked Barbarians, even the Cloud Mountain Dao soldiers, and civilian followers were slaughtered on the spot.

Someone brought a big chair, and Ji Hu sat directly down, quietly watching the fight from under the Dragon Banner. His eyes were deep, yet he did not make a move again.

...

On the river.

Glacial Xiaozhao paddled in the vast river water.

The Barbarian King was also quickly paddled to the other side with swift strokes.

"Big Sister, you’ve made things difficult for me. I’ve become the Barbarian King fleeing as a discarded pawn."

Xiaozhao said, "Shut up."

The Barbarian King sighed deeply, laughing bitterly, "Actually...even if you save me, my time is almost up...the Zhou Emperor is too powerful."

As they were speaking, the siblings had already escaped to the riverbank.

Glacial Xiaozhao took the Barbarian King, jumped ashore, and revealed their true form.

A quiet woman carried a huge block of ice on her back, and inside the ice block, the entire Barbarian King was buried, with only his head sticking out, helplessly smiling wryly.

The woman ran swiftly, her feet whirling like a whirlwind, disappearing in an instant.

...

Up high.

Xiao Wu Ya said in surprise, "The Human Emperor didn’t chase; is it because he’s also exhausted and can’t fight now?"

The Illusionary Sparrow wrote with his talon on the ground: "No."

Xiao Wu Ya asked eagerly, "Then what is it, father?"

The Illusionary Sparrow wrote, "Just wait."

"Huh? Wait for what?" Xiao Wu Ya was puzzled.

Li Yuan asked Xiao Wu Ya to wait because he was in the distant Southern Wilderness camp quickly writing and drawing.

He was hastily recording the golden flow he saw, while he still remembered it.

The reason he hadn’t returned to Shanbao County was that although Shanbao County had returned to peace, no one had yet gone back.

The reason was simple: the end point of many ghost tides was exactly where the Ghost Prison was located. And after reaching the Ghost Prison, they completely melded into it; no one knew if the Ghost Prison would erupt, so no one dared to move back to Shanbao County, which was quite close to the Ghost Prison, even though Shanbao County was currently not at all dangerous.

At this moment, the interior of the Ghost Prison seemed completely evened out, filled everywhere with a dense black fog that seemed as solid as a solid object; seen from outside, it suddenly resembled a black egg, shaped like a chicken egg.

The Judge continually dispatched spies to investigate, but unfortunately...the black fog resembling a chicken egg was still changing.

Swoosh!

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Swoosh swoosh!

Li Yuan grabbed the ink brush, moving back and forth over the paper, sketching those trajectories.

He had seen many Life Atlases before and had created his own so-called Life Atlases.

The Atlas, put simply, was the coagulation of a Talisman Seed, a unique power that drives through will using vital energy, then through vital energy feedback to the will. It was the mutual nourishment of spirit and body, the entry level for the Human Soul.
