Chapter 961

"Hurry, everyone, go put out the fire!"

At this moment, Yuan Shao could not care about anything else, frantically commanding his subordinates, never expecting that Dong Zhuo's strategist would be so deranged as to actually set fire to Luoyang!

If they could not control the fire, then they, the feudal lords, would be like Dong Zhuo, subject to the condemnation of their predecessors and the scorn of the world!

The million-strong army worked together and finally managed to control part of the fire, but the entire territory of Luoyang was more than half burned due to the secret arts set by Li Ru, and the fire was not diminishing but rather growing more intense.

Because it was not a pure secret art; it was Li Ru using a secret method to stir up the destiny of Luoyang, that destiny of the Han Dynasty which had been gradually declining for hundreds of years, which Li Ru completely detonated tonight.

Once it erupted, the originally waning destiny would be impossible to recover, no longer gathering in Luoyang, and would begin to dissipate between heaven and earth.

After tonight.

Luoyang would no longer be the most prosperous imperial capital in the world.

The Han Dynasty, which had flourished for hundreds of years, would also become a thing of the past.

From then on.

When the Han loses its deer, the world shall chase it together!

The various feudal lords could now contend for the great destiny of the world!

After tonight...

Luoyang would no longer be the most prosperous imperial capital in the world.

The Han Dynasty, which had flourished for hundreds of years, would also become a thing of the past.

When the Han loses its deer, the world shall chase it together!

Once the fire in Luoyang started, it was completely uncontrollable.

Large numbers of Luoyang's populace fled.

Among the common people.

There were the rich, and there were the poor.

But no matter what type of person, to the various feudal lords, they were all resources.

They had no heart to pursue Dong Zhuo at this moment; each was collecting the people of Luoyang and grabbing resources.

Except for a very few feudal lords who still felt attached to the Han royal family, most joined this team of scrambling for resources.

On the other side.

Sun Jian rode ahead of all, leading his men in a mad dash toward the palace grounds.

He had originally intended to rescue the Son of Heaven, but upon entering the palace, he suddenly discovered a crystalline yellow light appearing in a dry well, flickering on and off.

Sun Jian subconsciously took his men to investigate.

And fished a female corpse out of the well.

The female corpse was clutching a box; when opened, it was actually a jade seal.

Sun Jian's heartbeat almost stopped at this moment; looking closer, it was truly the Imperial Jade Seal!

Although the jade seal had now lost most of its destiny power.

One could still clearly see its 4-inch square shape, engraved with five dragons intertwined, the missing corner of the Heshibi, inlaid with gold, and inscribed with eight seal-script characters: "Having received the mandate from Heaven, may one enjoy eternal prosperity."

Wasn't such a majestic font the jade seal itself!

Sun Jian was startled, his hands not knowing where to touch the jade seal, his whole body trembling.

Huang Gai and the others also saw the object in Sun Jian's hand at this time, first shocked, then overjoyed, "My lord's good fortune has arrived! Heaven has bestowed the jade seal upon you; in the future, you will surely have the opportunity to ascend to the throne."

"My lord, quickly put away the jade seal. Let us leave Luoyang as fast as possible. Rush to Jiangdong. To plan for great things!"

After speaking, Huang Gai and the others swept their eyes over the nearby soldiers with murderous intent.

"These are all my trusted confidants, they will certainly not let it out. We had better hurry back to Jiangdong!"

Sun Jian looked at the few thousand men left behind and immediately denied Huang Gai's thought.

"Hmm."

Huang Gai thought for a moment, sighed, and the strength in his hand, which had been tightly gripping his Wave-Breaking Whip, loosened.
