Chapter 930: Chapter 50: The 36th Year of the Jingxin Calendar, Prince Liang Dies!
The Mountain Ghost Venerate summoned the ancient mountain ghosts from two states, and terrifying wailing echoed from countless peaks.
On the same day, the High Priest Bo Guangheng entered Pinghai State.
The Six Divine Temples’ priests: God of Fate, Yi Suan, Rebirth, Du E, Yan Shou, and Si Lu appeared in Lvliang State.
Wu Gu, Mountain Ghost, and Blood Kui, the three great Heavenly Venerates, fled upon hearing the news.
The following day.
Emperor Jing’s three elite guards, the Divine Residence, Jinwu, and Luan Yi armies were mobilized.
Along with them entered the commanders of the seven armies originally belonging to Tongyou, Jiuxiao, Yellow Spring, Xuanming, Heavenly Storage, Taixu, and Wu Yao.
Half of the three major legions controlled by Prince Liang originated from these seven major armies.
With the cooperation of the High Priest, half were forced into rebellion. The soldiers who were forcibly granted titles were stripped of the Black Dragon Fortune and returned to normal.
The commanders of the seven armies regained partial control over their troops.
...
The situation in Pinghai State seemed to reverse within a day.
It was also against this backdrop that King Shenluo finally found an opportunity.
The Little Prince Yanda, originally a hostage under Prince Liang, saw the unfavorable situation and noticed Prince Liang’s slackened watch over him. On the nineteenth of October, he led powerful escorts south, attempting to cross the Canglan River and return to the Golden Feather Royal Court in the Southern Desolate.
The flaw appeared during the river crossing.
The Canglan River had always been an important means for the Southern Barbarians to strike at the Great Zhou.
After Prince Liang left Pinghai State, a massive uprising occurred in the Canglan River, with over a hundred Heavenly Witches jointly inciting a water vein uprising.
The great river surged like a water dragon soaring to the sky, rushing towards Pinghai State.
However, the situation reversed too quickly, directly scaring away the hundred Heavenly Witches.
As they fled, the originally boiling Canglan River became a natural blockade.
All the Southern Desolate generals wanting to escape across the river were instead blocked by this great river.
Half of the Little Prince Yanda’s powerful escorts were dispersed, leaving only one Second Grade and two Third-rank guards with him running eastward, trying to detour through the East Sea.
They intended to use the territories of the brothers Hong Yuanshou and Hong Yuanba to return to the Southern Desolate.
However, at this time, the two brothers, Hong Yuanshou and Hong Yuanba, were already dead!
Bai Yunwu, in collaboration with the other two major families and the Luan Yi Guard that appeared in the East Sea, attacked Hong Yuanshou and Hong Yuanba by land and water.
The rebellious Eastern Sea Army, with most driven away by the High Priest from the Black Dragon Fortune, no longer wanted to follow the Hong brothers in rebellion.
Thus, they turned coat and backstabbed the Hong brothers.
Hong Yuanshou was swallowed whole by Bai Yunwu, who had transformed into a giant dragon; Hong Yuanba and Princely Heir Ji Chen were missing.
...
In the southeastern part of Pinghai State, in a place called Cuihe County.
King Shenluo, Ye Yuxong, Zhao Xing, finally caught up with the Little Prince Yanda.
"Run, keep running!" King Shenluo’s voice exploded over Cuihe County.
At this time, a light shield appeared in Cuihe County.
The Realm Stele Array!
Inside Cuihe County, five Taowu Divine Needles were inserted into the ground.
Since Cuihe County had long been abandoned, King Shenluo unhesitatingly used his resources.
At this time, Little Prince Yanda’s predicament mirrored the situation Ye Yuxong and Zhao Xing encountered.
Only the roles were reversed.
"Tsk tsk, this is satisfying." Zhao Xing sat inside a massive mechanical giant [Shenluo Pang Yuan].
This is a ninth-tier Divine Weapon, the Shenluo Mechanical Giant, which is part of a series.
King Shenluo, due to his deep research into this series, earned this title.
"Chasing people with a Gundam, King Shenluo really has a strong foundation." Zhao Xing laughed while looking down.
"What is Gundam?" Inside the mechanical giant, Ye Yuxong asked.
"It’s rumored to be a series of Shenluo, but it’s already lost." Zhao Xing casually fabricated.
"Oh." Ye Yuxong nodded; he didn’t know either, and if Zhao Xing said so, then so be it.
"Brother Ye, want to go down and play?" Zhao Xing asked.
"How am I supposed to go down?" Ye Yuxong’s face turned green. "King Shenluo is ready to fire the Fire Source Divine Cannon."
"Hahaha."
Ever since being blasted by the Fire Source Divine Cannon once, Old Ye has had some psychological shadow.
"Brother Ye, you might have to take action later." King Shenluo said, "This guy has plenty of good stuff, I’ve dropped three Fire Source Divine Cannons, and they weren’t thoroughly killed."
"No problem, I’ll handle that Second Grade Five Elements Mage." Ye Yuxong said.
Now in the array, only Little Prince Yanda and his Second Grade guard remained.
The other two Third-rank ones had already been blown to pieces.
If Xuan Yuan Qingtian hadn’t cast [Mountains and Rivers Forever], the three Fire Source Divine Cannons would probably have killed even the Second Grade.
But after casting Mountains and Rivers Forever, the earth veins were stabilized, and the power of the Fire Source Divine Cannon was significantly reduced, unable to trigger earth vein upheavals.
"It’s about time, I’m activating the Realm Wall Array now."
"Coming."
Ye Yuxong opened the skylight and slipped out with a swish.
Zhao Xing jumped out too, watching the battle unfold.
"Your Highness, run!"
The Second Grade guard’s body erupted with a blue glow, water currents like silk cloth wrapping around Yanda.
With the surging water waves, Yanda was flung dozens of miles away.
"Power to twist rules," Zhao Xing observed, "The Heavenly Fortune Realm has a touch of representing the Dao of the heavens."
"Nine Yang Li Fire!" The Second Grade Mage, after sending Yanda away, summoned nine fire dragons from his body.
The dragon scales shimmered with light, and even the eyes seemed real. Zhao Xing couldn’t see any flaws.
"Be careful, brother." Zhao Xing couldn’t help reminding him, for he noticed that Ye Yuxong’s Fortune Pillar dimmed slightly above his head.
It meant that dealing with this Second Grade Mage was somewhat dangerous.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yuxong promptly backed off.
Damn it, earlier in Desert Marsh County during the breakthrough, he was boasting to the little brother, claiming to be invincible.
