Chapter 628

"Your Majesty, the enemy army is only half a day's march from the capital."

He weakly waved his hand, signaling he understood.

He slumped back onto the throne.

As night fell, staring at the rafters above, he seemed to make a carefree decision, and ordered the attendant beside him:

"Bring me a piece of red cloth!"

Another three hours of travel, but Li Yue, now a Sunfire Wizard, found it anything but dull.

Along the way, the Sunfire power within him had grown significantly stronger; he could clearly feel all his physical attributes steadily improving.

This filled him with great comfort.

Upon reaching Lord Chenxi's domain, he immediately headed for the Purple Thorn Wall.

He swallowed three hundred purple thorn flowers in celebration.

And today, it seemed his Luck Goddess wife had graced him—three hundred purple thorn flowers granted him five free talent points.

He joyfully shouted toward the sky:

"Luck Goddess wife, I love you, mua!"

Having been graced by his Luck Goddess wife, he now intended to visit his many beautiful wives.

At dawn, the capital of the Lora Kingdom erupted into chaos.

The enemy army had reached the city gates and had already begun their assault.

Their king, when discovered, had hanged himself from the rafters.

The remaining ministers, unable to vent their fury, listened to the soldiers' reports; once proud and confident, they now looked like deflated dolls.

Each face was more grim than the last.

Someone suddenly blurted out:

"What if we surrender?"

Instantly, everyone agreed.

But at that moment, loud screams erupted outside the door.

"Ahh!"

"Run! The demon army has broken in!"

They rushed out and saw the invincible Chenxi army, whose overwhelming force had crushed all resistance and reached the Gongdian Sect gates without hindrance.

Seeing the assembled ministers, the two battalion commanders gave them no chance to speak.

They ordered immediate execution!

Under a barrage of fierce attacks, the entire Lora Kingdom high command was wiped out.

Less than an hour later, all screams within the Lora Kingdom capital had ceased.

This meant the once-preeminent Lora Kingdom, among the Three Great Kingdoms, was annihilated!

The two kings of the neighboring kingdoms, who had long stationed their forces outside the city, sensed this aftermath.

They couldn't help but feel relieved they had made their earlier choice.

Yet at this moment, the warm sunlight had only just risen.

Lord Chenxi's domain, the Sky City.

Perhaps because he had become a Sunfire Wizard, Li Yue woke unusually early today.

The reason? Simply the newly risen sun.

He could clearly feel that absorbing the morning sunlight strengthened his Sunfire power.

So he stepped out the door, his feet glowing with radiant light.

His figure instantly appeared at the highest point of the Sky City, facing due east, and began meditating.

Yet as soon as he activated his Sunfire power, he was delighted to find it flowed faster than ever.

After half an hour, that intense sensation slowly faded.

His cultivation speed returned to its normal pace, and he immediately lost interest.

His feet shimmered with light.

His figure vanished from there and reappeared in the Lord's Hall.

Seeing Li Yue arrive, Chief Administrator Ophelia hurriedly bowed.

Li Yue asked:

"Have you uncovered the remaining two forces of Saint Na Ze Er?"

Ophelia frowned deeply and said:

"We have, my lord!"

"One of them is Blood Wolf City; according to records from Shengcheng, it relocated here over twelve hundred years ago."

It is also the most enigmatic of the Seven Powers, never involving itself in their conflicts."

All we know is that it is a wolf-clan city that has produced two Wolf Clan Legendary Rank practitioners."

The other force, the Necrotic Marsh, was founded over three hundred years ago by a Legendary Rank lich; it too avoids involvement in factional struggles, but has turned the Necrotic Marsh into an impenetrable fortress, shrouded in deathly miasma."

Hearing this, he fell into deep thought.

From all indications, neither of these two forces appears as weak as they seem.
