Chapter 977: Blue Artifact
Outside the Imperial City, on the plains.
The Saint Light Hall Army demonstrated what was an army and what was efficient.
They built their camp in a short time. The moats and obstructions the Posthumous people prepared were like child’s play to them.
Outside the mountain range, some Saint Light Hall forces were clearing out the Posthumous people who had been notified and escaped. But these people had missed their chance. They didn’t manage to enter the city to get protected and even bumped into the enemy’s main force.
Once that was done, all the logistics bases would gather to build the only base.
Once all of these were done, the Sint Light Hall army didn’t attack immediately.
They weren’t in a rush. To them, it was just a few more days.
At the center of the entire camp were the three heads of Saint Light Hall. They were in a meeting with the commanders of the other forces. Although they were confident of victory, they were still cautious as they faced the Imperial City that their ancestors hadn’t managed to take down.
Moreover, the attacks from that mysterious squad had left them trauma. The three commanders had to treat this seriously.
They were here to wipe out the Posthumous people and weren’t here for a tough victory.
The Light Cavalry Squad’s commander, Nan Jin, distributed missions. He was also the commander of the first attack and in charge of the start.
He said a few words when he heard a low horn. The people in the tent stopped and looked toward the Imperial City.
“Welcome horn.”
Zaili understood many things about the Posthumous people and immediately said the name of the horn.
He continued, “It will only be blown on two occasions: when a new king is appointed or when he dies.”
“This difference is that the coronation would have 98 pairs, and the funeral will have 100.”
The Cursed Abyss was busy. Two beast kings fought for territory, and their subordinates killed each other.
Many lifeforms were waiting for their chance. These corpses would be a good source of food. There wasn’t much of an opportunity to get such a complete meal in a place like the Cursed Abyss.
But the dark sky suddenly lit up. The cloud above paused slightly.
They had sharp senses, so they naturally picked up the changes in nature. The battle stopped instantly. These strong lifeforms looked into the sky and hesitated before retreating into their caves.
They wanted to hide.
In the depths of the abyss, in the darkness, was a pair of eyes that were like two lamps.
“Hu... Sha... Is it it?”
The voice was hoarse, and it wasn’t like a human.
Its body moved in the darkness like it was stretching. The entire abyss shook. The birds and beasts all fled and even left their homes.
The entire Night Demon Plains became slightly more quiet.

In the Imperial City, under the Saint Pool.
The three-legged man raised his head and looked at the pool's base. He could see the pillar of light, and shock appeared on his face.
“Who could activate that thing? Did someone obtain its legacy? Or... Something from that side came?”
This was the first time the three-legged man had a bad feeling.
