Chapter 531

He immediately swayed to his feet, picked up a broken sword, and prepared to kill Chamu Long to vent his anger.

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared, looking at the ravaged valley where only Shangguan Yun and Chamu Long, two living people, remained,

His figure moved, and he instantly arrived beside the two of them,

"Speak, where did the dragon pearl in Long Yin's cave go, and that 'Thunder Fire Bomb'?"

This person's cultivation was astonishing; with a mere thought, an invisible force hoisted the two of them into midair.

Shangguan Yun and Chamu Long were already heavily wounded and could not resist.

To save his life, Shangguan Yun immediately spilled everything like beans from a bamboo tube,

Telling this person every detail of what had just happened.

"How is it possible? Using a 'Sword Qi Lingering Form' incarnation, he could catch the exploding 'Thunder Fire Bomb'?"

Hearing of Ximen Wudi's feat, this person could not help but be utterly shocked.

"Speak, is he lying?"

What Shangguan Yun said had exceeded this person's cognition and understanding.

He immediately channeled a wisp of true essence into Chamu Long, pulling him back from the brink of death, then asked,

"No…"

At this point, Chamu Long's true essence had been completely drained by Blood Jue, leaving him nearly a cripple.

Though he deeply hated Shangguan Yun for ruining everything he had, he would not stoop to lying.

"How is this possible? Even a 'god' could not do this!?"

The newcomer was naturally the Divine General of the Soul-Searching Palace, arriving late!

Though his cultivation was formidable, the Great Song was the farthest from Yunzhou's western Mount Qilian.

So although he had rushed with all his might, he ultimately missed this earth-shaking battle.

"Heh! I don't know what you mean by 'god.'"

"But compared to the Ximen Wudi who just appeared, I fear there is no god under heaven!"

Chamu Long was full of admiration for Ximen Wudi's invincible feat just now.

Unfortunately, he was not of the Qinglong Society, so he could not even get a glance from him.

"Hmph! How dare you look down on a god—then I'll take you back to receive 'Divine Punishment'!"

So saying, the Divine General tossed Shangguan Yun aside and took Chamu Long back to the Great Song.

This time, Ximen Wudi's earth-shaking appearance—Chamu Long was a witness to it.

The Divine General had not completed his mission, so he could only bring back this single survivor to report.

In the blink of an eye, the Divine General vanished with Chamu Long.

The vast Mount Qilian was left with only the heavily wounded Shangguan Yun and the corpses strewn across the ground.

……

Great Qin, Xianyanggong.

"Your Majesty! Terrible news! A secret report just arrived from Lishan."

"Lord Zhuangxiang Wang's fate Tao Yong has shattered…"

Zhao Gao received this news and came trembling to see Hearing Ying Zheng.

One must know that although Hearing Ying Zheng had been separated from Zhuangxiang Wang since childhood, Zhuangxiang Wang's love for him surpassed that for any other Imperial Prince.

Therefore, in Hearing Ying Zheng's heart, Zhuangxiang Wang's position was immensely important.

When the Lishan Plan began to be implemented, Hearing Ying Zheng's first thought was to let his father walk among the living again.

Sure enough, Zhuangxiang Wang successfully returned, and he was overjoyed.

Fearing some mishap might befall Zhuangxiang Wang, he even grudgingly gave him the nation's treasure, the He Shi Bi.

Unfortunately, Zhuangxiang Wang has still fallen today!

"What's going on? What happened?"

Hearing Ying Zheng, who had been handling government affairs, immediately knocked over the desk before him and rose in fury.

"Your Majesty! This servant does not know…"

Zhao Gao knelt trembling on the ground and said carefully,

"His Highness, along with Lord Shang and Grand General Bai Qi, led a hundred thousand Great Qin Ruishi to Yunzhou's western region."

"Now that something has happened, this servant suspects it most likely occurred over there."

"Could there be a supreme expert in Yunzhou's western region capable of killing My father under such a lineup?"

Hearing Ying Zheng found it hard to believe—the team he had dispatched was absolutely the pinnacle of Great Qin's strength.

But now the leader, Zhuangxiang Wang, was dead; the blow to Great Qin was nearly devastating.

"Quick! Dispatch all My scouts to contact Shang Yang and Bai Qi—I want to know at once exactly what happened."

Hearing Ying Zheng immediately gave the order.

Countless Great Qin scouts, whether from the Net or the Black Ice Terrace, immediately set out northward.

"Also, if the fate Tao Yong has shattered, does that mean Father can never return?"

Hearing Ying Zheng asked, still somewhat unwilling to give up hope.

"This…"

Zhao Gao's face was full of difficulty as he said,

"This servant also does not know…"

"Useless wretch! Go to Lishan at once and get to the bottom of this for Me."

"If Father cannot return, then you need never come back either."

Ying Zheng flew up with a kick and sent Zhao Gao flying out of the great hall.

Zhao Gao's lips were bloodied from the kick, but he didn't dare show the slightest negligence; after offering a salute, he immediately retreated in haste.

No one understood better than Zhao Gao that what Ying Zheng had just said was true.

If Prince Zichu could not return, Zhao Gao would lose the holy favor.

Therefore he had to return to Lishan and try to bring Prince Zichu back!

352 Are you sure this is something a human can do?

The Great Yuan Imperial Court.

"Great Khan... just now Ming Wang Si sent word..."

Yelu Chu, his face deathly pale, walked up to Tie Muzhen's side, trembling and not daring to speak the news.

"What is it, speak!"

Tie Muzhen felt uneasy in his heart.

"Ming Wang Si reports that the four great masters — the Living Buddha, Long Xiang, Monk Huanxi, and Monk Naomo — have all entered parinirvana..."

"If the Great Yuan requires them to return, they must select other spirit children and arrange a reincarnation burden cultivation grand ceremony!"

Four of the nation's guardian enshrined masters, among them a state preceptor, had departed together.

This loss far exceeded that of the previous battle at the Western Xia border pass.

Yelu Chu had all but delivered the news while trembling.

"Ah..."

Tie Muzhen, upon hearing this, was struck by a wave of dizziness and nearly fainted.

Yelu Chu immediately stepped forward and channeled a wisp of true qi, barely managing to rescue Tie Muzhen.

"How could this be? What exactly happened?"

The four including the Lotus Living Buddha were the pillars of the Great Yuan dynasty.

If they were gone, the Great Yuan's strength would drop by at least thirty percent.

"Your servant..."

Yelu Chu wanted to say he did not know, but he truly did not know how to begin.

"Great Khan..."

Just at this moment, Zi Yi Jing Wang — who had always been dashing and wore a magnificent purple robe — suddenly appeared.

By now his entire purple long robe had become like a beggar's rags.

"Hmm? Yi Jing Wang? What is this?"

Tie Muzhen, seeing Zi Yi Jing Wang in such a wretched state, felt his eyelid twitch uncontrollably.
