Chapter 1433

After that, he walked downward.

Then, he spoke.

"People of Shiling — anyone who dares resist shall be killed without mercy!"

His voice was icy, instinctively instilling fear.

At this moment, that great army also surged upward to kill atop Shanfeng.

In the blink of an eye, they had seized the mountaintop.

Shiling could be considered the finest among the Desolate Ancient Races.

At this moment, facing Ximen Wudi, they had no power to resist whatsoever.

In only a moment, they were slaughtered to the last.

And while the Great Han sealed its mountain gates tight as a drum.

At this moment, within the Great Han's borders.

Inside a vast palace.

The Prime Minister of Wang Cheng wore a dark, sullen look on his face.

"Your Majesty has already conquered Shiling.

By all rights, he should have returned long ago.

Why has he still not come back?

Could something have happened!"

The Prime Minister spoke.

And just as his words had barely fallen.

The Deputy Prime Minister beside him spoke slowly.

"Prime Minister, do not worry.

Whatever Your Majesty does, he surely has a plan.

We need only wait and see.

If there is no news, it proves all is well!"

"Mm, let us hope so!"

The Prime Minister nodded and said slowly.

But just as the two strategists were conferring.

A burst of hurried footsteps suddenly rang out.

It was the arrival of the First Imperial Prince.

At this moment, panic on his face, he spoke in a low voice.

"Father, the Han Emperor has already conquered Shiling, and now his great army presses our borders — what shall we do now!"

His voice trembled.

After all, ever since the Great Han wiped out Jin Wu Ridge, who among the entire Desolate Ancient Races did not fear the Great Han?

"Hu Nao — the Han Emperor's attack on Shiling is the will of Heaven.

We, as his subjects, have only to submit to fate.

Otherwise, we would be defying the teachings of our ancestors.

To defy them would surely bring heavenly punishment — in the lightest case, one's cultivation would grind to a halt.

In the heaviest, body destroyed and soul dispersed.

Go now, gather the great army, and welcome Your Majesty!"

The Prime Minister coldly commanded.

He knew the Han Emperor had thoroughly enraged the people of Shiling.

Therefore, he dared not delay even a single moment.

Hearing the words, the First Imperial Prince ran unwillingly toward the rear courtyard.

However, just as he reached the doorway.

He ran into the Second Imperial Prince and others.

The moment the two sides met, sparks flew instantly.

The First Imperial Prince said through gritted teeth.

"Big Brother, you brought disgrace upon us.

And now you actually want me to welcome you!"

As he spoke, his face burned with thick fury.

"Big Brother, has your brain gone bad — to actually dare provoke the Han Emperor?

Aren't you afraid he'll wipe us out in a fit of rage!"

The Second Imperial Prince followed up.

Fury blazed in his eyes.

Hearing the words, the First Imperial Prince did not hold back at all and spoke.

"The Han Emperor will not do such a thing.

After all, this is a private grudge between the Great Han and Shiling — it has nothing to do with us.

If he truly means to destroy our Shiling.

Then he is seeking his own death!"

His voice carried a hint of ferocity.

"Hmph, then why aren't you going out to greet him already!"

The Fourth Imperial Prince spoke up in rebuke.

Only, the First Imperial Prince said dismissively.

"Hmph, if you have the guts, go yourselves!"

After saying that, he turned and prepared to leave.

He understood in his heart that the Han Emperor would definitely be stationed here.

Sure enough, the very instant he stepped out the door.

Dense ranks of soldiers were already standing all around the valley.

It was unmistakably the Han Emperor who had arrived.

Moreover, at this moment he was still holding a head in his hand.

It was precisely the Lord of Heavenly Shiling.

At this point, the man had already been beheaded and displayed to the public.

Yet, no one dared approach.

Ximen Wudi stood within the great tent.

His gaze burned as he looked down below.

At this moment, he appeared incomparably cold and ruthless.

Then, he said lightly.

"Heavenly Shiling has already been destroyed by Us. Do you still wish to resist!"

His voice carried infinite majesty.

"Han Emperor, since you have destroyed my Heavenly Shiling,

then I shall likewise destroy you.

Let us decide the victor between us!"

The Sect Master of Heavenly Shiling shouted out at this moment.

Although his face was pale and his body trembled.
