Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Zhong Shan Descends Like a God

"I also object!" Zhao Tiansha followed suit.

Zhao Tiansha's objection added to the controversy. Although the Zhong family army's victory was indisputable, the martial contest was supposed to be between Zhong Shan and the Three Prodigies. Zhong Shan hadn't appeared, raising suspicions of a stand-in. Could this be considered Zhong Shan's victory?

"Princess Linger, with millions of eyes watching, you should not lie blatantly," Xiaoyao Hou said with a sneer.

"This!" Tian Linger was suddenly at a loss.

What should I do? What should I do?

Clutching the book "The Adventures of Zhong Shan and Linger," Tian Linger was at a loss. The Zhong family army had won, but Zhong Shan hadn't appeared. Why hadn't Zhong Shan appeared yet? Please, Zhong Shan, show up!

At that moment, Tian Linger felt a surge of panic and unease. Was Zhong Shan really not coming? Had he abandoned her?

Feeling despondent, Tian Linger's spirits sank. It was almost over, but Zhong Shan still hadn't arrived. Why?

If Zhong Shan didn't come, how would they decide the winner?

"The martial contest is null and void. Princess Linger, you must respect the literary contest's decision. Zhao Tiansha, the Crown Prince of Zhao, is the final victor!" Xiaoyao Hou laughed sinisterly.

Senior Brother? Tian Linger looked at Zhao Tiansha.

Despite her admiration for her senior brother, she didn't want to marry him. But the literary contest had been her decision. Looking at the book in her hand, Tian Linger felt deeply saddened.

Was this karma? Was heaven punishing her?

Tian Linger felt immense sorrow, her tears threatening to fall. Zhong Shan, why isn't it Zhong Shan?

Just then, Nie Qingqing gently patted Tian Linger's back.

"Sister, Zhong Shan won. He truly won. It was all Zhong Shan," Tian Linger couldn't help but cry.

With millions of eyes on her, Tian Linger felt immense sadness, as if she had been wronged beyond measure.

Xiaoyao Hou's smile widened.

"Hahaha, Princess Linger, you are the judge of the contest results. You can't blame anyone else. You must abide by the emperor's decision and marry the final winner. It's not our fault Zhong Shan didn't show up," Xiaoyao Hou laughed maniacally.

Tian Linger's sense of grievance intensified.

Millions of spectators watched with great interest. This drama was like an epic tale, unfolding layer by layer.

What was happening now? Was Xiaoyao Hou forcing a marriage?

"Who said I didn't come?"

Suddenly, a powerful voice echoed from all directions, shaking the hearts and minds of everyone present, even amidst the vast crowd of millions.

It was Zhong Shan's voice!

Countless people recognized the voice of Zhong Shan. Millions of spectators felt a surge of excitement. The drama continued, and it wasn't over yet! They quickly searched for the direction of Zhong Shan's voice.

Hearing Zhong Shan's voice, Lin Xiao let out a long sigh of relief, his face lighting up with excitement. The Zhong family army, too, showed expressions of reverence; Zhong Shan was their god!

Xiaoyao Hou's face twisted with rage, his earlier arrogance replaced by intense hatred. Zhong Shan had returned? Zhao Tiansha also wore a dark, cold expression.

From the sky, Zhong Shan descended like a divine being. His presence exuded an aura of authority and power, silencing the murmurs of the massive crowd. He landed gracefully, his gaze unwavering and determined.

"Who dares to say I didn't come?" Zhong Shan's voice boomed, as he stepped forward, his presence commanding the attention of everyone present.

He actually came back at the last moment?

Nie Qingqing held Tian Linger's arm, her face trembling slightly with excitement for Tian Linger, beyond ecstatic. Tian Linger's tears flowed freely, her eyes filled with happiness and excitement. In the midst of overwhelming longing, her emotions finally burst forth.

Zhong Shan came, Zhong Shan returned, Zhong Shan came to take me away!

Tian Linger wanted to shout, her heart bursting with excitement, but she maintained her composure, only her tears revealing her overwhelming joy.

Too powerful, too powerful! This phoenix cry was terrifying!

"Phoenix Cry of the Nine Heavens!"

Someone exclaimed.

People shouted in astonishment. Was it really the Phoenix Cry of the Nine Heavens? The supreme technique of the phoenix?

Countless people felt the terror of that moment, confirming it was indeed the Phoenix Cry of the Nine Heavens!

Xiaoyao Hou and Zhao Tiansha were both shocked. Phoenix Cry of the Nine Heavens? The phoenix supreme, Wu Jiutian, had arrived?

Nie Qingqing, realizing what had happened, showed a look of wild joy. Phoenix Cry of the Nine Heavens, it really was the Phoenix Cry of the Nine Heavens! Linger's seal was about to be broken!

Beside her, Tian Linger had her eyes closed, a pained expression on her face, as if a flood of memories was suddenly pouring in, needing to be processed.

"Don't say anymore, you'll be fine, you'll definitely be fine." "Can Linger be your third wife?" "Yes, yes, heaven as our witness, from this day forth, Zhong Shan and Tian Linger are husband and wife, sharing life and death, never to part."

Heaven as our witness, from this day forth, Zhong Shan and Tian Linger are husband and wife, sharing life and death, never to part.

Heaven as our witness, from this day forth, Zhong Shan and Tian Linger are husband and wife, sharing life and death, never to part.

... The lost memories slowly returned! Clearer and clearer, more and more vivid, more and more smooth! Tian Linger's initial pained expression gradually faded away, replaced by a feeling of being moved, of happiness.

Tears of joy slipped from the corners of her eyes! Tian Linger felt reluctant to open her eyes, this was such a beautiful memory, such a happy memory, she wanted to remember it a few more times, she wanted to recall it carefully. But Zhong Shan was waiting outside.

Zhong Shan came to take me away, Zhong Shan came to take me away!

Tian Linger, filled with tears of happiness, opened her eyes.

At this moment, the sky was already dark! But in the distance, there was a dazzling light.

Nie Qingqing beside her was stunned, and in the distance, Xiaoyao Hou and Zhao Tiansha were also gaping in astonishment, while the Zhong family army was filled with excitement, some even trembling with excitement.

Millions of spectators looked at the distant scene in shock and disbelief. This, this couldn't be real?

Am I dreaming?

Almost everyone felt a surreal sense of disbelief.

In the distance, amidst the night, a myriad of lights filled the sky. People could see, from the north, numerous points of light rapidly flying over. These points of light were not ordinary lights but numerous phoenixes, each enormous and radiant.

Qingluan, Fire Phoenix, Ice Phoenix, Jingwei, Golden-winged Roc, a vast number of bird species with phoenix bloodlines were emitting various lights, making them look infinitely beautiful as they flew over.

At the same time, countless birds were gathering towards the Lihuo Holy Capital.

Birds, birds everywhere! More birds than the millions of people.

The enormous birds brought with them massive turbulent airflow. Of course, the miscellaneous birds could only fly on the periphery, while the central area was dominated by the kings of birds, the phoenixes—one, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand.

At least ten thousand phoenixes flapped their wings, creating an unforgettable scene for everyone. It was too incredible!

"Phoenix Cry of the Nine Heavens!" "Phoenix Cry of the Nine Heavens!" "Phoenix Cry of the Nine Heavens!"

... The simultaneous cry of ten thousand phoenixes, their beautiful voices penetrated the entire Lihuo Holy Capital, leaving everyone in a state of intoxication, followed by infinite shock.

Millions of people, an infinitely grand sight! Billions of birds, an even grander sight! The simultaneous cry of ten thousand phoenixes brought an indescribable sense of awe!

Phoenixes, the kings of birds, and symbols of auspiciousness. Even some officials in the Lihuo Holy Capital, if they had one or two phoenixes circling their mansion during a grand celebration, would boast about it to their colleagues for a long time. And phoenixes were so rare that perhaps there were only about twenty thousand on the entire Shenzhou land. But now, there were ten thousand here? How was this possible? How auspicious was this, how shocking was this?

Only in legends had such a scene occurred—when the Great Li Dynasty was established, a thousand phoenixes came to congratulate. But now, what was happening?

The same scene of ten thousand phoenixes, and earlier, the Phoenix Cry of the Nine Heavens by the phoenix supreme!

People felt as if they were in a cloud, until they saw the leading seven-colored phoenix with a proud figure standing on its back, a figure illuminated by the countless phoenixes and billions of birds, appearing like a god descending from the heavens!

"Zhong Shan!" Someone first exclaimed.

"It's Zhong Shan!" "Zhong Shan is back!"
