Chapter 775: Guiguzi

Chapter 775: Chapter 775: Guiguzi

In the sacred capital of Xianyang, within the Great Qin Heavenly Dynasty, the court was in session.

"Ying, Zhong Shan has disrupted the order of your Great Qin. Our dragon clan, the national beast of Great Qin, has been recruited by Zhong Shan to act as his protector. This is an insult to Great Qin, a blatant act of contempt!" Ao Sihai loudly declared in the court.

"Oh? And what do you want me to do about it?" Ying asked indifferently.

Ying's expression showed no emotion, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

"This is a national disgrace. Great Zheng belittles Great Qin. We should root out the problem and crush their arrogance!" Ao Sihai demanded angrily.

"Is that so?" Ying asked, a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Absolutely!" Ao Sihai immediately responded.

"Isn't the supreme leader of the dragon clan you, Ao Sihai, and not Zhong Shan? Why can't you control the dragon clan?" Ying retorted.

"Because, because of a traitor, that..." Ao Sihai sensed something was wrong with Ying.

"Then it's your failure to manage the dragon clan. I suggest you first straighten out your dragon clan," Ying said coldly.

Ao Sihai looked at Ying, his eyes flashing with anger but having no outlet for his frustration. He turned and left with a sense of helplessness.

"Dismissed!" Ying announced indifferently.

Standing up, Ying flicked his sleeve and disappeared from the grand hall.

In the hall, Li Si was absent, and only one prime minister, Lü Buwei, was present. Lü Buwei glanced at the direction where Ao Sihai had left, a cold smile appearing on his face.

"Prime Minister Lü!" Bai Qi suddenly called out.

"Oh? General Bai?" Lü Buwei looked at Bai Qi with curiosity.

"Why is the Emperor so lenient in this matter? Even if Ao Sihai has not managed the dragon clan well, even if the dragon clan is very weak, the Emperor should not be so indulgent towards Great Zheng. According to his usual temper, the Emperor would never protect Great Zheng like this. Why?" Bai Qi asked with a frown.

"Hehe, firstly, this is neither a major issue nor a trivial one. The root cause lies with Ao Sihai. Secondly, Ao Sihai arrogantly presumed his status, which displeased the Emperor. And the most important third reason, you will soon understand. Compared to the final reputation, the Emperor values the benefits more," Lü Buwei said, patting Bai Qi's shoulder.

Bai Qi frowned slightly, then nodded, "Thank you for the guidance, Prime Minister Lü!"

Ao Sihai, filled with frustration, flew out of the imperial palace, followed by a group of dragons.

"Supreme, why do you look so unhappy?" a dragon clan member asked with a frown.

"Return to the East Sea!" Ao Sihai's face was grim, not answering the dragon clan member.

As the group of dragons was about to fly out of the sacred capital of Xianyang.

"Souls, return~~!"

Suddenly, a loud shout echoed across the sky of Great Qin, spreading throughout Xianyang.

"Boom~~~!"

With a terrifying explosion, lightning and thunder filled the sky, and an endless stream of air currents rushed towards a specific location in the city. Then, a surge of pure Yin, pitch-black energy shot up into the sky.

This powerful aura ascended and struck the cloud sea of Great Qin's fortunes, causing the cloud sea to tremble violently, the fortunes fluctuating wildly. The horrifying black energy enveloped the entire sky, forming a vast oppressive aura pressing down.

The oppression was so intense that even Ao Sihai, the supreme of the dragon clan, felt a sudden, heart-pounding fear.

"Extent? Destroy Changjing, and Zhong Shan will naturally come out," Tianlai declared arrogantly.

"Yes!" the four generals replied.

A subtle smile appeared on Tian Xiaozi's lips.

The four generals flew off the mountain and ascended high into the sky. Suddenly, a massive amount of red energy surrounded them, and flames engulfed the four of them. Fire elemental energy rapidly converged from all directions, growing larger and larger, transforming the four into giant suns in an instant.

In the Hall of Longevity, Zhong Shan, Gan Bao'er, Zhong Tian, and Zhong Zheng watched from their hidden vantage points. Zhong Shan remained calm, observing the events unfolding outside.

"Zhong Shan will soon show his true strength," Zhong Shan whispered to himself, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The firestorm created by the four generals illuminated the sky, casting an ominous glow over Changjing. The time for confrontation was drawing near, and the stage was set for the ultimate clash of power and wits.

The terrifying heat caused the surrounding space to tremble, the aftershocks alone enough to create spatial ripples.

"Ha~~~!" The four "suns" suddenly let out a loud shout.

Then, the enormous "suns" rapidly moved towards Changjing, transforming into four massive flame dragons, surging towards the city. The four men were now visible, remaining in their original positions with a pushing stance.

As the flame dragons advanced, the space around them shook violently, and cracks appeared in their wake. The ten-thousand-zhang long flame dragons roared towards Changjing from four directions, as if intending to destroy the city with their immense power.

"Boom~~~!" The thunderous roar of the impact wasn't as fast as the flame dragons themselves.

In an instant, the flame dragons reached the outskirts of Changjing. Suddenly, starlight shone from the sky, and a vast amount of green light descended, forming a gigantic transparent green wall just in front of the dragons.

"Boom~~~!" The colossal collision sound echoed as the enormous flame dragons shattered into countless pieces, rebounding and exploding in all directions, tearing through space and creating black holes. The surrounding area outside Changjing was engulfed in flames, and the violent shockwaves pulverized many nearby mountains into dust.

The massive transparent wall trembled violently at the moment of impact, nearly shattering under the strain.

Seeing this great formation, Tianlai's pupils contracted. Tian Xiaozi seemed unsurprised, as if he had anticipated it.

The four generals looked towards Tianlai, awaiting his decision.

Inside the palace of Changjing, the shadow body of Zhong Shan was in the middle of a court session. The moment the four "suns" appeared, Zhong Shan noticed them, and his pupils contracted as he led his ministers out of the Immortal Hall.

The "Great Luo Zhou Heavenly Star Formation" had been activated by Nangong Sheng, the Director of the Heavenly Strategy Bureau.

As Zhong Shan exited the Immortal Hall, Nangong Sheng joined him, both looking towards the distant outskirts of Changjing.

When the flames outside died down and the space stabilized, the six figures on the mountain peak were revealed.

Tianlai gazed up at the suddenly appearing stars.

"Impressive formation, connecting the star power of the Grand Thousand World from this small thousand-world. The Great Zheng Heavenly Dynasty? Quite capable indeed!" Tianlai remarked with a hint of admiration.

"Master of the Tian family, what is your intention? Have you forgotten the lesson you learned last time? Was the pain not enough?" Zhong Shan's cold shout echoed.

Despite the great distance, Zhong Shan's voice reached the peak of the distant mountain. In Changjing, Zhong Shan had the ability to project his voice far and wide.

Hearing Zhong Shan's question, a flash of hatred appeared in Tian Xiaozi's eyes, but he did not respond.

"That man is Zhong Shan!" Tian Xiaozi told Tianlai.

"Oh?" Tianlai looked towards Zhong Shan in the distance.

The two locked eyes, a cold glint flashing in both of their gazes.
