Chapter 801: The Bean Emperor Passes Away, the Dynasty Collapses

~8 min read 1,498 words

Miss Yun Zhi had returned to her hometown for some business. Upon her return, she discovered that there wasn't a single soul on Tianmen Peak. Only the Green Sharp Sword was thrust into the ground, exuding an unusual aura.

She entered the Green Sharp Sword's small world and saw four Half-Immortals fighting—all of whom she recognized.

Plus the little white tiger lying on the ground unable to get up, did that mean a total of five Half-Immortals were participating in the battle?

A large-scale war of this magnitude seemed to have only occurred in the ancient era when Half-Immortals were everywhere.

"Everyone, stop!"

The Decayed Fairy shouted, halting the battle between the four Half-Immortals. With a formidable enemy before them, this was no time for infighting.

As the leader of the two major factions, her words carried the weight of law; no one dared to disobey. Ao Ling, Jiang Lianyi, Yun Mengmeng, and Bu Yaolian—the four great experts—all stopped simultaneously and stood behind the Decayed Fairy.

Seeing this, Jin Caiwei stopped playing dead, scrambled up, and stood with the others.

At this moment, the herd mentality was quite effective.

The Decayed Fairy spread her arms, with the five Half-Immortals standing on either side behind her, lined up in order.

This was the faction she had painstakingly built to defeat Miss Yun Zhi!

Lu Yang turned his head to glance upward at the Decayed Fairy floating behind him, then crouched down and secretly ran to the very last, most inconspicuous spot in the formation.

"Girl Yun, didn't expect this, did you? Even right under your nose, I managed to assemble such a massive faction!" The Decayed Fairy boasted triumphantly to Miss Yun Zhi about her forces.

Except for the Prime Minister of the Great Bean Dynasty, the Xia Di, everyone from the Great Bean Dynasty was present.

The four members of the Decayed lineage were also all there, among whom Yun Mengmeng held multiple positions, including serving as the Minister of Rites for the Great Bean Dynasty.

Actually, the Congwendao Sect still had one faction opposed to Miss Yun Zhi: the little Medicine Kings of the Medicine Garden. However, it was too late to call them over now.

"Attack together! Let Girl Yun witness our capabilities!" At the Decayed Fairy's command, Yun Mengmeng was the first to strike.

"Take this!"

Yun Mengmeng hadn't been this full of vigor even when fighting Ao Ling earlier.

Miss Yun Zhi's eyelid twitched. *Why are you joining in the fun for no reason? *

Jin Caiwei, who had originally been hesitant about whether to attack, saw that even Yun Mengmeng—who was only at the early stage of Tribulation Transcendence and had just condensed the prototype of her Dao Fruit—had attacked, so she figured it should be fine for her to attack as well.

Besides, wasn't Elder Sister Decayed here to hold the line?

"Roar—"

Jin Caiwei transformed, turning into a massive and majestic bone-winged white tiger. Seeing this, Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi were not to be outdone and also transformed into their true dragon and phoenix forms.

A True Dragon, a Phoenix, and a Qiongqi—these three legendary immortal beasts had never joined forces to fight an enemy even in the ancient era. Who would have thought that history was made today; these three beasts had actually teamed up!

Bu Yaolian wore a mournful expression, honestly going up to self-detonate to warm up the crowd.

*Why is it that today I'm either fighting Jiang Lianyi or Miss Yun Zhi? I am a dignified Half-Immortal; why have I only encountered such opponents since I debuted, and never won a single time? *

Come to think of it, the only time he had gained an advantage was during that battle against the second Imperial Preceptor of the Great Yu.

"Charge! This is the moment the dynasty needs you to lead the charge! As long as we defeat Girl Yun, promotions, titles, and becoming a marquis are all within reach—"

The Decayed Fairy stepped forward to boost morale, promising high official positions and generous rewards.

Lu Yang felt that promotions and becoming a marquis were difficult, but a posthumous title was likely.

The three great generals were highly motivated and formed a Three Talents Array. Ao Ling, as the one with the strongest physical body, charged at the very front, while Jiang Lianyi and Jin Caiwei flanked, coordinating seamlessly.

The Decayed Fairy was the epitome of an emperor; she didn't just command the troops to fight like other emperors, but led by example, participating in the battle against Miss Yun Zhi herself.

The Decayed Fairy's resolve was set; even if Grand Tutor Lu Yang tried to dissuade her, it would be of no use.

Grand Tutor Lu Yang had witnessed the rise of the Great Bean Dynasty with his own eyes and was the designated next Bean Emperor. Now, seeing the Great Bean Dynasty on the decline, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow.

Lu Yang used the Heaven-Deceiving Life-Defying Art and the Earth-Shrinking Art to bury himself in the soil, sharing the fate of the Great Bean Dynasty.

Time passed like a fleeting horse; the great river flowed eastward, washing away the heroes.

A pale palm reached out from the grave, and a youth crawled out, his eyes filled with confusion.

"How long have I slept? What year is it today? Why am I here?"

He saw the devastated small world and saw those acquaintances who claimed to be invincible in every era turned into corpses. His sealed memories gradually awakened.

"The founder of the Great Bean Dynasty, the Decayed Fairy, the ancient ancestor of the Dragon Clan, Ao Ling, the ancient ancestor of the Phoenix Clan, Jiang Lianyi... did these legendary figures ultimately fail to defeat that formidable enemy?"

Lu Yang's lips trembled, unable to believe the cruel reality before him: "Half-Immortals have fallen; why am I the only one alive?"

"Second-in-Command, what are you muttering about?" The Decayed Fairy crawled up from the ground, acting as if nothing had happened.

Ao Ling, Jiang Lianyi, and the others also resurrected one after another.

"Oh, nothing." Lu Yang remained calm and composed, as if he hadn't been the one speaking just a moment ago.

Of everyone present, only Jin Caiwei was the most shocked. The battle just now could be described as overwhelming; they, these Half-Immortals, couldn't even last two moves in the hands of this person named Miss Yun Zhi.

Who exactly was she?

"This is the Sect Master of our Heavenly Court Sect," Lu Yang introduced, seeing that Jin Caiwei didn't recognize the Eldest Senior Sister.

"She is also from our Heavenly Court?" Jin Caiwei hadn't expected that besides Elder Sister Decayed, their ancient Heavenly Court members included such a high-level expert.

"I brought a few peaches; let's all share them." Miss Yun Zhi gathered everyone together and opened her parcel, revealing immortal peaches just picked from her hometown.

She had originally intended to celebrate the little junior brother's completion of his body tempering by giving him a few immortal peaches to eat.

She hadn't expected that upon returning after picking the peaches, she would see everyone engaged in a chaotic brawl in the Green Sharp Sword's small world.

"It's an immortal peach!" Jin Caiwei's eyes lit up. This was a top-tier treasure; the Qilin Immortal had let her taste one before.

Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi hadn't tasted an immortal peach in a long time; having one suddenly produced really made them nostalgic.

Only Yun Mengmeng appeared the most composed: "Little Zhi, these peaches are..."

Miss Yun Zhi used her eyes to warn her good sister to be careful with her words: "I grew them from peach pits."

"Ah? Oh, right, right, that's how it is."

"Immortal peach trees can be grown from peach pits?" The Decayed Fairy was puzzled; how come she didn't know that?

"They can," Miss Yun Zhi said firmly.

After the battle, everyone gathered together to eat peaches. The fragrance of the peaches filled the air, and the scene was heartwarming. The Decayed Fairy also managed to taste an immortal peach by using Lu Yang's body.

"Delicious, it's still the original taste."

"Although it's not as good as the food Elder Sister Decayed makes, it's still quite delicious."

Except for Bu Yaolian, who was a soul entity and didn't get to eat any.

In the mental space, after tasting the immortal peach, the Decayed Fairy recalled the total annihilation of the Great Bean Dynasty and sighed.

"Is something wrong, Fairy?"

"Could it be that I can only eat people now?"

Lu Yang was startled. *Why are we talking about eating people now? *

"Isn't this the story you told me, Little Yangzi? There was an emperor who was defeated and became a prisoner, and this emperor endured humiliation, made a comeback, and finally returned in triumph."

"... Fairy, I was talking about 'sleeping on brushwood and tasting gall'."

"That's a rather elegant way of putting it." ===== CHAPTER 802 =====
