"What are you waiting for? Use your strongest weapons and shatter the entire imperial capital. You will then be warriors of the Hell Dynasty and gain supreme glory!" Bei Cheng's voice rang out, his eyes carrying a chilling glint.
He had come to this place today to make the Heavenly Dynasty pay, and therefore, he would not hold back in any way.
Facing Bei Cheng's words, the many generals exchanged glances, not daring to delay. They all marched towards the imperial capital, their advance appearing exceptionally formidable.
Witnessing this scene, the Heavenly Emperor's gaze turned placid, even tinged with anger. He had never imagined that his own son would harbor such a desire to kill him, catching him completely off guard.
"Prince Bei Cheng is no longer the Prince Bei Cheng. Your Majesty, you must be careful!"
With grave expressions, those beside him spoke, not daring to show any negligence. They were acutely aware that if they did not leave the imperial capital soon, even the Heavenly Emperor might be submerged amidst the vast numbers of the Hell Dynasty.
"I refuse to believe he would kill his own father!"
The Heavenly Emperor declared, "Therefore, I wish to see if he truly possesses such capability, or such power!"
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. If anything were to happen to you, it would be a significant blow to all of us!" The generals spoke, "If my guess is correct, King Xibei should already be leading his army here. Your Majesty need not worry too much!"
Facing these words, the Heavenly Emperor remained indifferent, saying no more. However, this matter had already taken root and begun to grow in his mind.
Seeing the imperial capital shattering inch by inch, Bei Cheng was filled with delight. In this way, it would not be long before he could control everything, and even the Lord of the Heavenly Court would likely be under his command.
"Reinforce the barrier. They absolutely cannot be allowed to break through!"
Those within the imperial capital spoke, their expressions filled with solemnity. The situation had reached this point, and they understood it clearly.
The Heavenly Emperor's brow furrowed, and simultaneously, a powerful aura surged around him. In an instant, this aura stabilized the barrier.
"Is this the Heavenly Emperor's might?"
Many exclaimed in shock, clearly not having expected the Heavenly Emperor to possess such strength.
After all, outside stood a host of experts, yet they were blocked by the barrier and could not enter.
Now, the Heavenly Emperor's actions were exceptionally sharp, leaving people in awe.
"How is this possible!"
Bei Cheng stared at the scene before him, his face turning grim. He had not anticipated things turning out this way, and it caught him completely unprepared.
He had expected to open the barrier quickly, but the scene before him left him utterly bewildered.
The Heavenly Emperor, with his own strength, could repair the barrier. Such immense power was truly astonishing.
"If we don't leave now, we might be trapped here. The commander of the Heavenly Dynasty will arrive soon!" A man stepped forward and said to Bei Cheng, his gaze earnest.
Facing these words, Bei Cheng's face turned ashen. Although he was deeply displeased, he also knew that the words were not wrong. If they did not leave in time, endless disaster would await them.
"What a pity, what a shame!" Bei Cheng shook his head and said, "We were so close to success, but it all fell apart at the last moment!"
Following these words, the many soldiers of the Hell Dynasty also felt a sense of helplessness. Their primary objective in coming here was to occupy the Heavenly Dynasty, but their efforts ultimately ended in failure, which was a great blow to them.
As the army of the Hell Dynasty retreated, the entire imperial capital finally returned to quiet. Within the capital, everyone was in a state of extreme panic. Such an event had occurred unexpectedly.
If not for the Heavenly Emperor's actions, the entire imperial capital would likely have been destroyed. This was a significant impact for them.
Lu Fan arrived belatedly with a million troops. Seeing that the entire imperial capital was intact, he finally felt relieved. If anything had happened to the capital, he would have felt guilty.
After all, a million troops were under his command. If it weren't for that, the Heavenly Dynasty would not have been so vulnerable.
"You've arrived?"
The Heavenly Emperor looked towards Lu Fan, his expression solemn. He paid considerable attention to Lu Fan.
"I truly did not expect to be late!"
Lu Fan said, "The actions of the Hell Dynasty have exceeded my understanding."
"This matter has nothing to do with you!"
The Heavenly Emperor shook his head. "I just didn't expect things to turn out this way!"
Facing these words, Lu Fan said nothing more. The events had already transpired, and no amount of self-reproach would be of any use.
"By the way, have those traitorous officials been apprehended?" The Heavenly Emperor looked at Lu Fan, his gaze particularly serious.
"They have been apprehended!"
Lu Fan stated, "Both Grand Tutor Wen and King Jin'an are under my control. Only General Chen managed to escape, but the people of the Dragon Court are in pursuit!"
"Bring King Jin'an to me!"
The Heavenly Emperor's expression was cold, carrying a palpable aura.
Lu Fan nodded slightly, then turned to leave. Not long after, he returned with King Jin'an and Grand Tutor Wen.
"Your Majesty, I acted out of desperation when I rebelled against the court!" Grand Tutor Wen clasped his hands and said, "I beg Your Majesty for leniency. I shall never dare to do so again!"
"Do you think that's still useful?"
King Jin'an sneered, his gaze fixed on Grand Tutor Wen. "The situation has reached this point. The royal family will not let us go, so we can only accept our fate!"
"You see things quite clearly!"
The Heavenly Emperor looked at King Jin'an, his eyes growing colder. "I am very curious as to why you acted this way!"
"Because I also wish to sit on the throne of the Heavenly Court. I am of royal blood, so why shouldn't I?"
King Jin'an's expression was cold, his gaze meeting the Heavenly Emperor's. "You don't honestly believe that only you can occupy this position, do you?"
"I have never thought that!"
The Heavenly Emperor said, "The weight of this position is immense, and not just anyone can bear it. Do you understand?"
"To say this to me, isn't that too laughable!"
King Jin'an said coldly, "In my eyes, only by ascending the throne does life have meaning. Otherwise, what is its purpose!" Su Dan Novel Network
"So, in your opinion, nothing else truly matters?" The Heavenly Emperor sneered. "This is also why you will ultimately fail!"
"As the saying goes, the victor becomes king, the loser becomes a bandit. I am the loser, so whatever you say is correct!"
King Jin'an's expression was indifferent, his words showing no hesitation.
Following these words, the Heavenly Emperor remained silent. Instead, his expression turned cold. "Some things, you will never understand, and you will never be able to become a person of high standing! This is the difference between us."
