Translator: 549690339
Boundless darkness devoured the light, and the entire world turned dark, as if
day had turned into night in an instant.
Not only did the light that the old king of South Chu, Cheng Jiongting, had spread disappear, but even the real sun was covered by endless darkness.
The terrifying aura made most of the people present change their expressions.
Those who had watched the battle between Chen Luoyang and ‘King Fuyao’ Han Shang were still fine. However, those who hadn’t personally witnessed Chen Luoyang’s attack were especially shocked.
The momentum of this attack was really no different from that of a Martial Honor.
Everyone present had extraordinary backgrounds and understood the difference between a Martial Saint and a Martial Honor. They had seen how terrifying a Martial Honor was. It was precisely because of this that they were even more shocked at this moment.
Although he had heard about it for a long time, there were many things that couldn’t be compared to experiencing it personally. It was the most touching.
Just as everyone was in shock, the darkness in the sky suddenly began to recede, as if an eclipse had ended and the sun had returned.
The blue sky that was unique to the mortal world reappeared, and the sun was still high in the sky.
However, the brilliant light spread by the King of Qiantang of South Chu, Cheng Jiongting, had already disappeared. The golden sea of fire that had filled the sky had disappeared without a trace, leaving nothing behind.
Only Chen Luoyang’s figure stood upright in mid-air and his position didn’t change at all.
He calmly floated in the air, and in front of him lay the corpse of an old man.
It was the old king of South Chu, Cheng Jiongting.
Cheng Jiongting’s expression was relatively serene. There were no wounds on his body, but he no longer had any signs of life.
His corpse seemed to be carried by an invisible force as it steadily descended back to Anyuan City.
Chen Luoyang’s expression was calm as if nothing had happened.
However, in the eyes of the Southern Chu people, those eyes that were flashing with a dark golden light were like a demonic god that could destroy the world.
There was no sound, but the invisible pressure made countless people collapse at this moment.
The entire Anyuan City was in an uproar.
On top of the city wall, the Southern Chu King of the Cloud Capital, Cheng Jinjun, had a sorrowful expression on his face as he reached out to catch the falling corpse of the old man.
Cheng Longyuan and the others were silent. The city wall was dead silent.
Some of the experts of the South Chu royal family subconsciously looked at the general of the hussars, Zhang Tong, and the other warriors of the South Chu royal family. Some of them could not help but be on guard.
“Your Highnesses. if His Maiestv still doesn’t show himself. I’m afraid it will be very difficult for us to defend Anyuan City.”
Zhang Tong turned a blind eye to those vigilant gazes and bowed to Cheng Jinjun, Cheng Longyuan, and the others. “”We were unable to control the core of the array in the first place. Now that the array is weakening and the old king is dead, even if the Demon Emperor himself does not attack, this place will not be able to hold on.”
“Great General, are you surrendering?” Another old man asked slowly.
Zhang Tong sighed. ” Struggling on the verge of death might cause some damage to the enemy’s forces. However, I’m afraid that in the end, it will be difficult for the Imperial Family to continue surviving. It will be a waste of the old king’s painstaking efforts to take the initiative to come out just now. ‘
When the people of Southern Chu heard this, they all fell silent. Other than the coldness on their bodies, they felt more sorrow in their hearts.
Not only the fate of the old prince Cheng Jiongting, but also the fate of the entire South Chu Empire.
The Chu Emperor, Cheng Hui, had yet to appear. It seemed that it was impossible for him to appear.
The South Chu Country was probably really done for.
It didn’t matter if Cheng Hui didn’t dare to fight or if he had the intention to attack the Ancient Gods Clan’s headquarters and switch places with Chen Luoyang. The fall of Anyuan City today was a foregone conclusion.
Moreover, even though he said that, seeing how calm the three demonic path
Holy Lands were outside, he knew that there was no movement in the three Holy Lands ‘headquarters at least for now.
The Chu Emperor, Cheng Hui, was hiding..
This realization broke the morale of most people. The high-level cultivators of South Chu in Anyuan City were all dejected.
The Duke of Cloud Capital, Cheng Jinjun, also sighed softly and handed the remains of the old Duke, Cheng Jiongting, to the others beside him.
“If that’s the case, then this king has to make a trip as well.” ” General, please help me out. ” Cheng Jinjun looked at Zhang Tong. ” General, please help me out.
“I will do my best. There won’t be any Great Generals in the future.” Zhang Tong cupped his hands towards Cheng Jinjun.
“Let’s stop the formation,” Cheng Jinjun waved his hand.
After he finished speaking, he also rose and came before Chen Luoyang. He bowed and said, ‘”‘Demon Emperor, please enlighten me.”
Chen Luoyang sized up the other party with a hint of approval and nodded slightly. ‘”‘The Cheng Clan still has a few talents. I’m not a bloodthirsty person.
Those who obey me will prosper.”
“I have always admired the Demon Emperor’s magnanimity. However, His Majesty is still alive, and the Cheng family has me and my old granduncle. It is the way to bring disaster. Even if the Demon Emperor is magnanimous, we can’t sleep and eat in peace. Why don’t we ask the Demon Emperor to help us?” Cheng Jinjun sighed. ” We don’t want to end our own lives. If we can die at the hands of the strong, we won’t let down half our lives of bitter cultivation.
Please enlighten us, Demon Emperor! ‘
After saying that, just like the old king Cheng Jiongting, his body also lit up with boundless light.
However, the sea of golden light disappeared in an instant.
In the air, only the two of them stood facing each other.
Cheng Jinjun looked shocked. Then, his body slowly went limp, and a line of blood slowly appeared on his neck.
The people below were also shocked and shocked.
Chen Luoyang didn’t do anything, but a peak 18th realm Martial Saint had already lost his life.
It was silent and without any warning, making most people completely unaware of what was going on. As a result, they felt even more terrified.
Chen Luoyang acted as if nothing had happened and said indifferently, “”lncluding the members of the Cheng Clan, those who are loyal will be forgiven.”
The silent and traceless ” Shadow Moon ” killed people without any warning. It brought unknown terror to people. The death of an eighteenth-level Martial Saint so easily made the people of South Chu feel unreal. However, they felt a chill run down their spines.
After everyone froze on the spot for a moment, people began to kneel down in succession towards Chen Luoyang who was in mid-air.
First, it was the ministers of South Chu. Then, the people of the Cheng royal family also bowed in silence.
Everyone had complicated expressions.
After the destruction of the Northern Wei Dynasty, their South Chu had also reached its end today.
Cheng Longyuan and the other members of the Imperial Family were especially conflicted.
In the past two hundred years, the three great empires had stood at the pinnacle of power.
Last year, when the West Qin Emperor was in charge of the Yangcheng incident, South Chu sent troops to West Qin and expanded their territory. They occupied a large area of West Qin and slowly digested it to strengthen their own national strength.
Meanwhile, in the country, Xian Tian Palace was in a state of internal strife and was no longer a threat to South Chu.
To Cheng Longyuan, even his biggest threat, the Marquis of Fengxiang, Cheng Yingtian, had died this year.
Southern Chu was peaceful inside and outside, and it was a great opportunity to improve. In the end, in just a month, it had actually fallen to the state of subjugation.
Now, he had to submit to Chen Luoyang, who had an old grudge with him. The difference in his heart was truly too great.
Zhang Tong and the others were still fine. They just changed their allegiance to a different sect.
The original members of the imperial family were uncomfortable.
From now on, there was no longer the South Chu royal family in the mortal world. There was only the Cheng family that had disappeared.
The change was so great that they needed to grasp it themselves. If they could not change their mindset, the outcome would be unimaginable.
Although the Chu Emperor, Cheng Hui, was still around, Cheng Longyuan and the others weren’t optimistic at all. Instead, they were under immense pressure. They had become bait for Cheng Hui. If anything went wrong, Cheng Hui might be the first to die.
Chen Luoyang and the various experts under him entered Anyuan City together.
The resplendent Chu Imperial Palace now belonged to the Demon Emperor.
Chen Luoyang sat high on his seat and looked down at everyone below.
Compared to the warriors of Ancient Gods Clan, Black Water Juegong and Yan Ranshan looked a bit solemn.
Unlike the two Holy Lands, although the people of South Chu had also submitted to the Demon Emperor, the South Chu Dynasty itself had vanished into thin air and was destroyed. It no longer existed.
If one day, Cheng Hui had the ability to make a comeback and defeat Chen Luoyang, South Chu might still have a chance to restore itself. Otherwise, it would have already become history.
However, as one of the three great empires, South Chu had a vast territory, which formed a power vacuum that needed to be filled. Although Zhang Tong and the Cheng Clan had submitted, South Chu could not be left to them.
It was inevitable for the other experts under Chen Luoyang to station themselves here.
The one with the most advantage was naturally the Ancient Gods Clan, which was close to South Chu. The pavilion closest to the water would get the moon first. Yan Ranshan and Black Water Palace were both in the north, so it would be much more difficult to get a share. The final outcome would depend on Chen Luoyang’s arrangements.
However, Cheng Hui was still around. If he really occupied the land of South Chu, it would not be so stable…
Just as everyone was guessing, Chen Luoyang said, ‘”‘Cheng Hui has turned into a half-human, half-demon, and is obstructing Swordmaster Darknorth. He is suspected to be related to the Netherworld God. From today onwards, advertise to the world to search for his whereabouts. Report back immediately if there is any news. ”
“I will obey your orders,” everyone replied in unison.
The headquarters of Ancient Gods Clan, Black Water Absolute Palace, and the mountain gate of Yanran Mountain all sent news, but Cheng Hui was nowhere to be seen.
At least from the looks of it, he was unable to take revenge on Chen Luoyang.
Chen Luoyang sat on the former throne of the other party. His fingers tapped lightly on the table in front of the throne as his thoughts moved.
It seemed like something really went wrong with Cheng Hui’s seclusion, and there were even some side effects.
He must have snatched Han Mei’s Heart-Withering Stone to make up for it.
Unfortunately, his fate was extremely bad, and he actually bumped into Swordmaster Darknorth, Bamboo.
Cheng Hui had completed his cultivation and came out of seclusion. It was still a different story if he could even resist the bamboo, let alone if something happened to him.
As a great sword cultivator who was on par with the peak-stage old sword immortal and the Blood River Ancestor, his attacks were swift and decisive. No one fought against him and most of the time, blood would be spilled. The Fusang Island Lord, Reverend Pu Hui and the Blood River Ancestor all had a deep understanding of this. Now, it was Cheng Hui’s turn.
Although Zhu Ran was busy taking care of Han Zheng and Han Mei and didn’t chase after them, that battle was still enough to make things worse for Cheng
Hui.
Or rather, in this state, Cheng Hui couldn’t even fight with a heavyweight opponent. In fact, it would be difficult for him to continue fighting in a short period of time.
Thus, when Chen Luoyang’s army was at the city gates, Cheng Hui didn’t return to Anyuan to fight. He also didn’t attack the Ancient Gods Clan’s headquarters as revenge. Instead, he hid and licked his wounds.
If a big shot wanted to hide, it would usually be very difficult for others to find him.
However, Chen Luoyang could think of a place that Cheng Hui might have gone to when he looked like a half-human Monster Replenishment..
