Blind to the True Immortal
Xiao Zhaohuang's worst fears came true.
If she makes a move,
Although the Yunnan border troops would suffer heavy casualties, at least some embers could be preserved.
But if it's Immortal making a move,
Then all 100,000 border troops below the city would be wiped out.
The horrific scene of the tens of thousands of Divine Pivot Battalion who died without a complete corpse at Jade Spring Mountain was still vivid in her mind, and she really did not want to see the Yunnan border army follow in their footsteps.
But she was powerless to stop it from happening.
Because the Duke of Qian's insults were so vulgar, he had already attracted the attention of the Immortals.
We respectfully welcome the arrival of Azure Profound Immortal Venerable.
All the soldiers on the Capital wall knelt down in unison, their faces respectful, yet their eyes filled with fear.
The 100,000 border troops below the city were bewildered, yet they were all visibly shaken and filled with inexplicable fear in the face of this mysterious and vast celestial phenomenon.
The one who felt it most deeply was the Duke of Qian.
They stared in disbelief, as if their jaws had dropped.
After all, he had just been the one who angrily cursed and mocked the Immortals in front of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
It's not really his fault.
He had previously encountered so-called Immortals descending to earth and reincarnations of gods and Buddhas, but they were all charlatans and swindlers who pretended to be gods and ghosts and spread rumors to deceive the public.
He had been deceived by those charlatans more than once, so he deeply resented them.
But now a miracle is right before our eyes.
He had no choice but to believe it.
After all, such a magnificent and spectacular celestial phenomenon is not something that charlatans and swindlers could conjure up.
"Do gods and immortals really exist in this world?"
The Duke of Qian muttered to himself, his mind filled with self-doubt.
But the miracles were far from over.
When that peerless immortal Immortal Sword burst forth from the rolling purple clouds, accompanied by howling winds and swirling lightning, with a terrifying, earth-shattering power, it flattened the nearby hilltop.
The last vestige of doubt in the Duke of Qian's heart vanished instantly.
When a person possesses absolute power sufficient to destroy the world,
Even if he's not a god...
They would also be regarded as Immortals and Gods.
This was the thought in the mind of the 100,000 soldiers guarding the border.
It's like a mayfly looking at the sky, or a drop of water shaking a mountain.
All over the body,
There was nothing but fear and despair.
The sun was shining brightly and the weather was warm.
But their hands and feet were ice-cold, and their backs were drenched in cold sweat.
Suddenly, celestial music drifted from the sky.
The ethereal Immortal Music resounded throughout the mortal world.
It seemed to slowly fall from the nine layers of purple clouds, lingering over the entire Capital.
The thunder and gale that had been roaring just moments before were all dispersed.
Upon hearing this, the 100,000 soldiers below the city felt their hearts tremble, their warhorses became restless, and many involuntarily turned pale, as if the blood in their bodies was being firmly suppressed by this vast heavenly sound.
When everyone looked up at the sky...
But then, in the sky above,
Suddenly, a bright moon rose.
The bright moon hangs in the sky.
It rivals the brilliance of the sun.
Two suns and moons, one red and one white, hang together in the sky, their clear light and intense radiance mingling and surging.
The ethereal Immortal Music still lingered, and the wondrous sight of the sun and moon shining together came into view for everyone.
The 100,000 border soldiers below the city were all greatly shocked, standing there dumbfounded, all their desires and thoughts vanishing under this unprecedented celestial phenomenon.
But soon,
Everyone suddenly realized what was happening.
Because they discovered that in the bright moon high in the sky,
A celestial being appeared.
The celestial figure treads on purple clouds, draped in a light white robe, surrounded by flowing moonlight and swirling purple mist. Her face is shrouded in a hazy glow, obscuring her true features.
But a vast and mighty divine power poured down from the Nine Heavens, pressing down on the 100,000 soldiers below the city, making it difficult for them to breathe.
The Immortal Music still echoed, and under the combined radiance of the sun and moon, the figure resembled True Immortal, looking down upon the countless armored soldiers of the mortal realm below.
As the bright moon descended,
A celestial being descends to earth.
Whether it was the garrison on the city walls or the border troops below,
The weapons in their hands trembled, emitting a mournful, metallic clang.
It's as if these mortal weapons, unable to withstand the overwhelming divine power, must submit and worship.
The bodies and souls of 100,000 border soldiers trembled.
Finally, someone couldn't take it anymore.
He knelt on the ground with a thud, along with the weapon in his hand.
Then it's like a dominoes game,
A whole bunch of them started kneeling down.
In the end, not a single person remained standing on the vast battlefield.
The Duke of Qian also knelt down.
Without the slightest hesitation.
The more he vented his anger just now, the more he regretted it now.
The imperial edict sent by His Majesty only stated that the Eldest Princess was plotting a rebellion and that a sorcerer was bringing disaster to the country, but it didn't mention that the opponent's strength was comparable to that of Immortals and Gods.
Otherwise, even if he had the greatest courage, he wouldn't dare to lead troops to defend the emperor and quell the rebellion.
He is indeed extremely loyal.
But it depends on the situation.
For the sake of loyalty to the emperor and love for his country, he was willing to take up arms and lead troops to sweep away evil and eliminate all wickedness for His Majesty, vowing to die without regret.
But if the other party is a true Immortals and Gods, then that's a different story.
The gods will punish you.
That must be because Your His Majesty is incompetent and tyrannical.
The gods will punish you.
That must be because Your Majesty is cruel and heartless.
Otherwise, why would the Immortals only punish you and not others?
No wonder his father warned him before he died: You can be loyal to His Majesty, but you must never blindly trust His Majesty, because the most deceitful person in this world is the emperor.
At the time, he scoffed at his father's words, but little did he know that they would become a prophetic and invaluable piece of advice.
Your His Majesty has misled me.
His Majesty has ruined me!
The Duke of Qian was now filled with deep regret, and could only console himself that Immortal had not heard his Immortal words.
But as the saying goes, what you fear most is what you get.
As the celestial light overhead grew brighter and the celestial figure drew closer, the Duke of Qian's body trembled more and more violently.
Immortal
It seems like they came for him.
So there really are gods watching over us.
The Duke of Qian quickly lowered his head and softened his breathing, as if doing so would make the Immortals unable to see him.
However, this is nothing more than a self-deceiving, ostrich-like act.
The celestial figure still descended.
Standing atop purple qi flying sword, with a dazzling moon above her head.
Bearing the vast might of heaven,
They descended before the Duke of Qian.
The Duke of Qian's head was bowed so low it almost touched the ground, and large beads of sweat dripped frantically from his forehead.
Although he is blind,
But he could sense that the Immortal was watching him.
Those celestial eyes were like two blazing furnaces, vast and intense, radiating divine light, falling upon him and locking him firmly in place.
The oppressive force that burned his soul struck his mind, causing his blood to boil and sting, as if his internal organs and every thought in his heart had been seen through at a glance.
It was as if only this one gaze remained between heaven and earth. The Duke of Qian felt as heavy as a mountain, his hands and feet were ice-cold, and he couldn't muster the slightest thought of resistance.
"I heard you were looking for me?"
A cold, clear voice came from above him, devoid of any emotion, and revealing no hint of joy or anger.
However, this brought unprecedented and terrifying pressure to the already fearful Duke of Qian.
"Immortal, spare Immortal, spare me! I was blind and failed to recognize True Immortal. I spoke disrespectfully and blasphemed the gods. Please, immortal, spare Immortal!"
Duke of Qian dared not say no, nor dared he lie, for he knew that under those all-seeing immortal eyes, any lie or pretense would be seen through at a glance, leaving no room for escape.
Besides kneeling and begging for mercy, pleading for the Immortal's forgiveness...
There was no other way out.
