Chapter 240 - 240 Actually, He Chuan Was Already In the Mortal Realm

240 Actually, He Chuan Was Already In the Mortal Realm

Outside the capital, there were Xiongnu camps in all directions, and they surrounded the capital. Ten miles away from the main gate of the capital, there was a huge platform. “Great King, Meng Tian can’t figure out why are we giving Great Zhou three days? Right now, our men have already recuperated and are ready to charge into the capital at any time and massacre all the Great Zhou people.”

A brawny man with braids said in a low, muffled voice. He was the Great Sage’s grand disciple, Meng Tian. In terms of seniority, he was equivalent to The White Tiger Grand Sage Meng Ao’s junior nephew. He was also a powerful saint cultivator. Since Meng Ao took over the Sirius division, many of The White Tiger Palace’s experts followed him to the Great Plains.

“It’s not the right time yet.” Meng Ao said indifferently with his hands behind his back. His powerful will sensed the capital. The familiar fluctuations of the formation still existed even after a long time. It had completely integrated with the entire city and all the people in the capital. But who knew that this mysterious formation that could increase the strength of the Great Zhou’s defenders had other uses?

As long as they sacrificed millions of Great Zhou people in the capital, they would be able to completely activate that mysterious formation and open up that mysterious domain. Only when the Great Zhou people’s despair reached its peak would the effects of the sacrifice be best. The setup from 3000 years ago was all for today. He had already sensed the fluctuations of the array gradually boiling in the void.

Very soon, the feast of slaughter would begin. this belongs to me. How can I allow an outsider to occupy it? You must pay the price in blood. The White Tiger Grand Sage Meng Ao’s heart turned cold.

…

The capital was in chaos and despair. Even the defending Army was unable to maintain order. This was because there was less than a day left until the Xiongnu people would massacre the capital. Even the defending Army’s morale was low.

They had no choice, as the Xiongnu Army was suppressing the Great Zhou Army. The three martial arts legions had been sacrificed and destroyed. When the Xiongnu people besieged the capital, the Imperial Court stopped a counterattack. They had gathered a large number of high-ranked cultivators and even saint cultivators, but in the end, more than half of them died. If not for The White Tiger Grand Sage holding back at the end, they would have lost more than half of their forces. In that battle, The White Tiger Grand Sage displayed the mortal realm’s power, causing the great Zhou’s high-leveled cultivators to fall into despair.

This was because the power of a celestial phenomenon was not something that human strength could contend against. At this moment, within the throne room. The atmosphere was oppressive. Fang Yuanqing’s originally healthy body had become old and hunchbacked in just half a month.

The Great Zhou that they had spent so much effort to create was actually so fragile. “Your Majesty, can you invite that High Duke He?” An important official stood out and said. As early as thirty years ago, he was just an ordinary Minister. He had the honor of seeing Duke He’s elegant demeanor.

At that time, He Chuan still appeared as a eunuch. At that time, many ninth-rank cultivators couldn’t even withstand a single blow from Duke He. He even killed the devilish woman Lana and eight saint cultivators in the Palace, forcing Cheng’an to abdicate and made Changing the Empress.

Although no one knew the specific details, they could still analyze and guess. For the past 30 years, he had kept it hidden in his heart and had never revealed it to anyone. Because of this, only those who were present at the scene knew that Duke He was an invincible martial Saint.

And now, in the Imperial Court, there were no more than ten of those people. He happened to be one of them.

However, He Chuan was already in the mortal realm. Some officials standing by Cheng’an’s side narrowed their eyes. That person had long since become a nightmare in their hearts, so in the past few decades, they had never mentioned him, and would never allow anyone to mention him.

Because He Chuan caused Cheng’an to leave the throne, their career ended along with it. This group of ministers selectively has ignored and forgotten.

It is also fortunate that He Chuan never appeared again, so it gave them peace of mind for decades.

But because of the Number One Martial Arts Conference, He Chuan reappeared beside Empress Changning. Only then did they realize how afraid they were of that person.

After thinking for a long time, some officials smiled bitterly and shook their heads. So what if that person came out? No matter how invincible a saint cultivator was, it was useless to face a true mortal realm warrior. As for He Chuan, could he have also broken through to the extreme mortal realm?

It was difficult. It was too difficult. The 9,000-year-old Wei Zhengchun ended up like this. He went into seclusion and never appeared again. Perhaps He Chuan would also take the same path. As time passed, his traces in this world would gradually disappear. At that time, their fear would be completely cured.

Unfortunately, he no longer had the chance. A million Xiongnu people were about to attack the city, and the Great Zhou’s current strength was not enough to resist. Empress Changning would become the Empress of a fallen country, and they would become the subjects of a fallen country.

At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly came to his side, waking Empress Changning from her thoughts. “Your Majesty, Duke He has appeared in the Qing’an Palace.” Empress Changning was stunned. Her husband had finally come out!

…

The Qing’an Palace was Empress Changning’s Palace. Although He Chuan rarely stayed here, he was either out or cultivating in the Library Pavilion. Sometimes, he would hug Empress Changning and say heartfelt words, and the two would rest there!

He Chuan strolled around the Qing’an Palace and turned to check on the injuries of the General of the Imperial Guards, Qin Yuntian.

After being treated by many saint cultivators and Imperial physicians, Qin Yuntian suffered from the extreme mortal realm’s pressure, which caused his soul to be damaged. If there were no accidents, General Qin Yuntian would become a vegetable and spend the rest of his life in a hospital bed. The Empress would rather give this great general enough respect and make an exception to let him live in the palace and be treated by the Imperial physicians daily.

He Chuan looked at Qin Yuntian, who was lying quietly on the bed, breathing evenly as if he was in deep sleep. Although he was already sixty years old, Qin Yuntian still looked very young. His body was also very strong.

This old general was also the pillar of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Generally speaking, when one’s cultivation reached the half-step saint cultivator realm, one could basically guarantee that one’s aging would slow down. Moreover, the younger the person who broke through to the saint cultivator realm was, the younger they would look. Back then, the demon Empress Lana from the outer realm was able to charm Cheng’an because of her peerless beauty and disposition.

“You don’t have the strength, but you still want to charge forward! However, this will also show your loyalty to the great Zhou Dynasty!” He Chuan shook his head and took out a pill. Infused with a little power and it turned into powder. Then, He Chuan injected some power into a few of Qin Yuntian’s acupuncture points, accelerating his body’s absorption. At the same time, He Chuan pointed his finger at Qin Yuntian’s glabella and cast the soul-sucking spell.
