Chapter 694

The blood rain fell, and the heavens and earth were silent.

All the cultivators in King Tianlan's subordinate army felt their hearts churning, stunned in place, as if time had been frozen and everything had been frozen.

Something big has happened!

They could not believe what they were seeing, finding it hard to believe that the Heavenly King had fallen so simply.

In their original understanding, there was no power in the Saint Lan Great Domain that could threaten King Tianlan, so the Heavenly King's death was a thing that was nearly impossible to happen.

But the fact had already appeared before their eyes!

One could imagine that the news of King Tianlan's fall would shake the entire Saint Lan Great Domain in a very short time, and it would surely cause the Imperial Capital Great Domain to churn. Next, I fear there will be an even more terrifying storm erupting from the Imperial Capital.

The fury from the Human Emperor and the rage from King Tianlan's family would shake the eight directions.

This kind of event had already exceeded expectations and exceeded imagination.

The cultivators here could not help but have their minds roar. Everyone's breathing was rapid; shock and commotion erupted within the army.

At the same time, equally shocked were the various forces of the Saint Lan Great Domain watching this battle.

"How is this possible!"

"Heavenly... Heavenly King Tianlan, actually beheaded!"

"Three swords, in total, only three sword moves..."

"Nascent Divinity, Fenghai County also has a Nascent Divinity, and it is a mighty figure who can be considered strong even among Nascent Divinity experts!"

"Fenghai County's background is actually terrifying to this extent!"

All the clans capable of viewing the Fenghai County war had waves in their hearts that had long since surged after seeing King Tianlan's death, drowning their minds, drowning everything, leaving only endless trembling and extreme awe toward Fenghai County.

King Tianlan used his own life to make all forces deeply realize that what Fenghai County relied on was not just the Sun of Dawn, but also... a Nascent Divinity!

At the same time, a mouthful of blood was sprayed directly from the mouth of the hidden Seventh Imperial Prince.

His body trembled, and his gaze was dim. At this moment, the unease in his heart exceeded the time he saw the Sun of Dawn erupt.

Fenghai County used a powerful method to tell him one thing.

That is... all schemes, all arrangements, all composure, in the face of absolute strength, are actually insignificant.

Actually, when the Sun of Dawn erupted that day, he had a similar feeling, but he still believed that his side was the one that held absolute strength. When his uncle returned, everything would be swept away and resolved smoothly.

But he never expected that the final outcome would be like this.

He could not accept the fall of the Heavenly King, nor could he face such a result.

The fear and horror in his heart had long since turned into a storm, shrouding him in an abyss, but he was the Seventh Imperial Prince after all. Even in this desperate situation in his heart, he still struggled to find an opportunity to resist.

"Fenghai County, Xu Qing... even if you have a Nascent Divinity sitting in town, beheading a Heavenly King is no longer my business. This is a matter of the human race; Father Emperor will never allow such a matter to be resolved simply."

"Whether it is out of the dignity of the human race or the face of the Human Emperor, this matter... will surely cause a heaven-shaking change!"

The Seventh Imperial Prince looked up, staring fixedly at the direction of Fenghai County. Finally, enduring his reluctance and unwillingness, and even more heart pain, he crushed an ancient jade slip in his hand.

This jade slip was not a modern product, but a treasure from the era of the Ancient Emperor Xuanyou; it was now the Seventh Imperial Prince's life-saving item.

Its function was to allow one to teleport back to the Imperial Capital Great Domain instantly from anywhere.

Its value was immense, and its quantity was small. Using one meant one less; it was extraordinary back then, and it is a supreme treasure now.

Originally, the Seventh Imperial Prince was not qualified to possess it; it was exchanged from the human race's treasury by his maternal clan for war merits.

"Fenghai County, the matter between us is not over. I will wait in the Imperial Capital... to see you all turned to dust!"

The Seventh Imperial Prince's expression was ferocious. As the ancient jade slip in his hand shattered, a light that seemed to come from the ancient times shrouded him, and he disappeared between heaven and earth.

Although he left, this jade slip could only take himself away; all his subordinates were left in the Saint Lan Great Domain.

While all parties were trembling because of Ninth Brother's move, on the Fenghai County battlefield, King Tianlan's subordinates were becoming increasingly restless. Fear and unease spread across the heavens and earth.

On the ground, King Tianlan's black dragon was also wailing. It crawled up trembling, kowtowing toward the sky. After continuous worship, following a cold snort, the void exploded.

Ninth Brother's figure stepped out from the crack in the sky, standing between heaven and earth.

The black dragon's head lowered even deeper, not daring to move at all.

All the human armies also trembled one after another.

Ninth Brother was expressionless, his gaze sweeping across the army, finally looking at Fenghai County where Xu Qing was.

His gaze swept across everyone. Every cultivator who met his eyes could not help but lower their heads, their expressions respectful and even more fanatical.

Yao Hou was no exception.

Only two people made Ninth Brother's gaze linger.

One was Seventh Uncle.

When gazing at Seventh Uncle, Ninth Brother's eyes carried some deep meaning. He actually lowered his head slightly himself, but this action was too subtle; except for himself and Seventh Uncle, others found it hard to notice.

The second was Xu Qing.

"You can study these three sword moves well in the future."

Xu Qing's breathing was rapid, and he bowed with cupped fists.

His heart was surging violently. Although he had seen Ninth Grandpa make a move before, the Commandant's side was too weak, so he could not truly feel Ninth Grandpa's combat power, and the Crimson Mother was too strong; by comparison, it was also hard to reflect Ninth Grandpa's relative ferocity.

Until the three swords beheaded King Tianlan!

This scene made Xu Qing suddenly realize why, when the God Child suppressed Ninth Brother back then, the degree of sealing was the greatest among all his brothers and sisters.

Ninth Brother, too strong!

And after the Crimson Mother battle ended and Li Zihua recovered and left, it was clear that the gains Ninth Brother obtained were also not small for his own improvement.

But Xu Qing understood that now was not the time to think about these things. The most important thing right now was the stay or departure of these ten million troops.

Fortunately, regarding such matters, he, his master, and Yao Hou and others had already discussed it. So Xu Qing turned around, moved a step away, and revealed a figure standing behind him.

It was Xiang Ningyan.

At this moment, Xiang Ningyan was wearing an Imperial Prince's robe, wearing an Imperial Son's crown, and his whole body exuded the bloodline fluctuations belonging to the Imperial Clan. His expression was even more serious than ever.

After Xu Qing moved away, he walked out arrogantly with a heavy expression, stepping into mid-air, looking down at the army.

"I am Guyue Xiang Ningyan, the twelfth son of the current Human Emperor!"

When the ten million human army felt Xiang Ningyan's bloodline fluctuations and heard his words, they were all stirred. Especially at this moment, Xiang Ningyan had the statue of the Ancient Emperor standing on the ground behind him.

Thus, in everyone's eyes, it seemed Xiang Ningyan's figure overlapped with the Ancient Emperor Xuanyou.

The momentum was like a rainbow.

"Seventh Imperial Brother, relying on his troops to weight himself, disregarding the human race, causing chaos in the Saint Lan Great Domain, so I detonated the Sun of Dawn I carried before him."

"King Tianlan, as a Heavenly King, yet full of selfishness, defeated in his own battle, framing Fenghai, using power to oppress people, a disgrace to heaven and earth, so with my consent, he was beheaded!"

"All cause and effect are the actions of me, Guyue Xiang Ningyan, alone!"

These words of Xiang Ningyan were not what Xu Qing told him to say. Originally, according to Xu Qing's instructions, what Xiang Ningyan said would not be these, but Xiang Ningyan felt that some things needed to be borne by himself.

So, he spoke like this.

Xu Qing was somewhat surprised and glanced at Xiang Ningyan.

Yao Hou, Seventh Uncle, and others also had thoughtful expressions, and for the first time, there was some appreciation in their eyes.

And the ten million human army felt an even stronger shock in their hearts at this moment.

Xiang Ningyan took a deep breath, walked a few more steps, walked to the front of the army, faced ten million people alone, and spoke in a low voice.

"You do not belong to the Seventh Imperial Prince, and you do not belong to the Heavenly King. You belong to the human race, and you belong to yourselves!"

"The direction your swords point is not at fellow humans, but at foreign enemies!"

"Now, the battle against the Black Heaven Clan has not ended. Next, are you willing to follow me... to complete our human race's battle and fight the Black Heaven Clan again!"

Xiang Ningyan roared out his last sentence with all his might.

As his voice echoed, the ten million troops on the ground were silent for more than ten breaths. Some immediately bowed their heads, and soon more and more cultivators chose to pay homage. Finally... the ten million troops let out a low roar.

"Yes!"

Just like the ten thousand men of the Commandant back then, for the human race, no matter what era, as long as there is a kingdom system, then status is more important.

For example, if Xiang Ningyan wanted to call upon Fenghai County, he could not do it because he was not the County Governor.

And Xu Qing, although he had the final say in Fenghai County, if he wanted to shake these armies and make them pay homage, Xu Qing could not do it.

Only the identity of an Imperial Prince could do it.

And when these subordinates of King Tianlan paid homage, the clouds and mist in the sky churned, and a figure came rapidly from the distance. His speed was too fast, so much so that the horizon was rolled up by his momentum, forming a roaring storm.

In the blink of an eye, this figure appeared above Fenghai County. As the clouds and mist gathered, it formed a clear body.

It was the Saint Lan Great Duke!

His face was pale. The moment he appeared, he bowed deeply toward Ninth Brother.

"Junior An Mulan, pays respects to Ninth Young Master of Jiyue!"

The Saint Lan Great Duke's attitude was extremely respectful, and one could even see undisguised awe deep in his eyes. His words also clearly revealed that he... knew Ninth Brother's identity.

Being able to know the identity at this time basically means he knew what happened in Jiyue.

And calculating the time, the affairs of Jiyue should now be felt one after another by the strong experts of the Wanggu Continent.

After all, the Red Moon had disappeared from the Wanggu Continent.

This point could be seen from the fact that the Saint Lan Great Duke could not help but look at Xu Qing.

He indeed knew, and had just learned of it.

So at this moment, his heart was extremely shocked. After paying respects to Ninth Brother, he took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice.

"The Saint Lan side obeys the Twelfth Imperial Prince, is willing to follow to send troops against the Black Heaven Clan, and joins under the Twelfth Imperial Prince's command!"

The words were spoken to Xiang Ningyan, but his gaze was looking at Xu Qing.

With his experience and state of mind, he naturally saw... the key to Fenghai County pushing out the Twelfth Imperial Prince.

"The struggle for the throne... has begun!"

Currently writing, there will be more in a while.
