Chapter 1497

The voice rang out, sounding incomparably respectful.

"Hahaha, from now on, I am the Black Wind Holy Lord!

Follow me, and you shall surely achieve great deeds!"

A savage grin spread across his face.

And just as his voice had barely fallen—

The surrounding disciples of Black Wind Stronghold grew even more fervent in their eyes.

This was the Black Wind Holy Lord.

Even their own stronghold chief,

Dared not show the slightest disrespect when meeting the Black Wind Holy Lord.

Now, the other's strength had already reached the peak of the Sixth Layer of Saint.

Coupled with that unique dark attribute,

Ordinary people were simply no match.

"Come, let us go seek the Holy Mother.

She is the Holy Mother—as long as we throw in with her, we will surely make a name for ourselves in the Demon God World!"

After the voice fell,

The many disciples all around cheered and followed along behind.

A look of madness appeared on the Black Wind Holy Lord's face.

And just as he was leaving Black Wind Cliff,

Liu Zheng had no idea that he had just wiped out the Black Wind Holy Lord.

Chapter 1173: The Throne of the Imperial Palace

But even if he had known, he probably wouldn't have cared in the slightest.

At this moment, he had just sat down upon the throne of the imperial palace.

His gaze burned as he looked down at the ministers below.

At this point, he spoke.

"Although I won this battle,

The losses were also enormous.

The three armies lost roughly two thousand men.

The rest have all been assigned to the various provinces to defend against the barbarian tribes' raids.

So be it—everyone is granted a one-month leave.

Enjoy yourselves well!"

As Liu Zheng's voice rang out, the ministers below were naturally delighted.

They understood in their hearts—

This campaign had caused far too much damage to the Great Han.

If the fighting were to continue,

The Great Han would sooner or later be unable to hold on.

But now that Liu Zheng had granted amnesty,

Excitement showed on every face.

Then they all knelt to the ground,

Respectfully saying,

"Thank Your Majesty!"

"Rise!"

Liu Zheng waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

After he returned once more to the great hall,

The system's voice rang out.

"Ding—congratulations to the Host on completing the task. You have obtained one Summon Card. Would you like to use it?"

"Use it!"

Hearing the voice, Liu Zheng did not hesitate in the slightest and spoke directly.

And just as his words fell,

The prompt in his mind rang out.

"Ding—congratulations to the Host on a successful summoning. You have obtained Lu Bu's allegiance.

Strength: Fifth Layer of Saint.

Weapon: Painted Halberd. Talent Skill: Divine Brawn and Invincibility.

Cultivation Method: Divine Thunder Art.

Innate Bloodline: Golden Roc Bloodline, Divine Roc Soaring to the Nine Heavens…

Please, Host, receive!"

Hearing the voice, Liu Zheng nodded in satisfaction.

Worthy indeed of the fierce general he had summoned.

Although the strength was a bit lacking, it was still worth it.

Then he gave a commanding shout.

"Where is Cao Zhengchun!"

As his words fell, Cao Zhengchun's figure stepped forward in an instant.

"This general pays his respects to Your Majesty!"

"You performed very well in this campaign.

Bestowed: medicinal pills, promoted to a higher military general rank!"

Liu Zheng said slowly.

"Many thanks for Your Majesty's grace!"

Cao Zhengchun said reverently.

"Enough, withdraw!"

Liu Zheng said indifferently.

And just as his words had barely fallen—

Cao Zhengchun withdrew.

At this moment, Liu Zheng stood outside the great hall, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon.

Then, the corner of his mouth curved into a faint smile.

After this battle, the entire Honghuang was likely to stir up a fresh storm of blood and carnage.

And at this very moment—

Within Honghuang, an eerie silence had fallen.

Because, the moment Liu Zheng had just defeated the Black Wind Holy Lord—

The entire Honghuang had fallen silent.

The news of the Black Wind Shanzhai's annihilation—

Had also spread out.

Causing the overlords of every province to feel utterly horrified.

No one had expected Liu Zheng to be powerful to such a degree.

Not only had he crushed the Black Wind Holy Lord—

He had even wiped out the Black Wind Stronghold.

For a time, leaving them at a loss.

After all, the might of Black Wind Ridge was beyond all doubt.

If that party were to fly into a rage—

The entire Honghuang would likely tremble.
