Chapter 332 The Power of the Lamp-Lighting! Thinking of this...
Great Sage Yunling could no longer care about his dignity as a Great Sage. He quickly waved his hand, his tone even carrying a hint of pleading.
"Young lady, please hold your hand!"
"I was blind to your greatness before and offended you greatly! If you are still angry about this, I am willing to offer the treasures of my Golden Roc clan as an apology... Even if you insist on my death, I am willing to end it myself; please do not act impulsively..."
Upon hearing this...
Jiang Yuechu slowly shook her head.
"You led the Demon of Spirit Mountain into the territory and slaughtered the people of both sides."
"Therefore, I must kill you with my own hands."
"..."
Great Sage Yunling was stunned, seemingly never expecting that the reason the other party wanted to kill him was this.
"They're just ordinary people..."
She spoke instinctively, her eyes full of confusion.
"We cultivators seek longevity and transcendence, why should we care about the lives of a bunch of ants?"
"One can only become an immortal in the mountains. Since ancient times, the path to immortality has been about severing worldly ties and getting close to heaven and earth. Hence the saying that Immortal do not eat the food of mortals."
"You possess such talent, yet you go against the grain, setting your sights on the mundane mire below this mountain..."
Upon hearing this...
Jiang Yuechu slowly shook her head.
Compared to these Demon who have lived for tens of thousands of years and only possess that lofty and solitary Dao Cultivation,
Her past and present lives are combined.
All things considered, it amounts to no more than forty.
Although this cultivation level came quickly, like Tower-Ascending Realm.
But it did not make her forget the warmth that a human being should possess.
I cannot do what the other party said.
They regard the common people as worthless grass and the mortal world as worn-out shoes.
Heavenly Dao order prevails, people should always maintain a sense of benevolence in order to establish themselves and thrive in the world.
"Throughout my life, I have followed my heart, seeking only... a clear conscience."
That's all.
A sudden burst of deep blue aurora erupted from the girl's right eye.
The whole person slowly floated into the air.
His black robes fluttered in the wind, and his crimson cloak burned like fire.
Rumble--!!!
The Heaven and Earth Transformation.
Thunderous roar!
Purple lightning, like a dragon, meanders through the nine heavens.
Thunder and lightning flashed, shattering everything in all directions.
heavy rain!
The black water surged to the sky, pouring down like a torrent.
A bone-chilling cold engulfed the vast mortal world.
Fire!
Crimson flames flow like gold, burning mountains and boiling seas.
The heatwave rose into the sky, burning away the filth of the world.
Three Calamities struck simultaneously.
This is the power of Jiang Yuechu's Lamp-Lighting!
The Great Sage Yunling tilted his head back.
The golden vertical pupils reflected a scene of cataclysmic destruction.
A sigh escaped my lips.
Heaven will not grant us... the Jade-Carving Lineage...
North of Yizhou Prefecture.
On the official road.
Thousands of riders, like a long dragon, galloped wildly southward.
Xu Xiao took the lead, with only one thought in his mind.
Faster!
We absolutely cannot let anything happen to His Highness!!!
However.
Just as the army was about to break through the last mountain ridge, and the majestic outline of Yizhou Prefecture was already in sight.
"Whoa--!!!"
Xu Xiao suddenly pulled on the reins.
The demonic horse, in pain, reared up on its hind legs.
The thousands of riders behind them also stopped in unison.
The sound of horses' hooves came to an abrupt halt.
All the noise vanished at that moment.
Xu Xiao stared blankly ahead.
Behind him.
Thousands of battle-hardened, tough men.
At this moment, everyone's mouths were agape, and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
What a scene it was!
At the end of the line of sight.
The skies above Yizhou Prefecture.
The rolling black water resembled an inverted Heavenly River, and the raging flames in the sky resembled heavenly fire destroying the world.
Thunder roared across the sky, and gale-force winds howled through the heavens.
And amidst countless natural disasters.
A figure in black stood suspended in mid-air.
Like a god!
Chang'an.
Overcast skies for days.
Two days.
Two whole days.
The main hall was brightly lit and never went out for a moment.
The young emperor, his eyes deeply bruised, paced back and forth in the palace countless times.
"How is it?"
The old eunuch stood hunched over to one side, his whisk trembling slightly.
If it were any other day, His Majesty had lost his composure like this, he would have certainly advised him to take care of his health.
But today...
The old eunuch took a deep breath and whispered, " Your His Majesty... there has been no news yet."
"Not yet?!"
The emperor's eyes were bloodshot. "It's been two days! Why hasn't a single message been sent back to Chang'an?!"
The old eunuch immediately knelt on the ground.
" Your His Majesty calm your anger..."
"The imperial army has already set off, and all the Martial Venerable at the Mountain-Viewing Realm who can be mobilized are heading to Jiannan. Even Deputy Commander Zhao of the Demon Suppression Bureau has led his General Headquarters force out..."
"However... it will probably take some time before we can send a message back."
It will take some more time.
That same phrase again.
The emperor felt as if a huge boulder was pressing down on his heart.
This girl...
This girl!!
How could you possibly venture into a place like Jiannan alone?!
Whenever I close my eyes, I see a small, thin figure in my mind, facing a sky full of Demon all alone.
The emperor abruptly flicked his sleeves and strode out of the hall.
"No!"
"I cannot just sit here and wait!"
The old eunuch was terrified. " Your His Majesty! Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the Imperial Ancestral Temple!"
The emperor gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with determination. "I will go and invite High Ancestor! I will invite High Ancestor to come out of seclusion!"
Upon hearing this, the old eunuch was terrified.
Clinging tightly to the emperor's leg, he wailed, " Your His Majesty! You mustn't!"
" High Ancestor was the Sea-Stabilizing Needle the Great Tang, holding down the fate of the world while residing in Chang'an!"
"Now that Demon from Spirit Mountain have invaded, the world is in turmoil. If High Ancestor leaves the capital, how many people will be able to defend Chang'an City?"
"What if... what if Demon take advantage of the situation and invade? This Great Tang Dynasty... this Great Tang Dynasty will be finished!"
The emperor froze.
He looked down at the old man at his feet, who was weeping bitterly.
How could he not understand?
As an emperor, enjoying the tributes of the world, one should naturally prioritize the well-being of the nation.
Can...
"For the sake of the country..."
The emperor gave a bitter laugh, his eyes filled with sorrow.
"Am I really going to stand by and watch my only sister die at the hands of those beasts?!"
Right at this moment.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.
A Captain of the Imperial Guard scrambled into the hall.
"Report--!!!"
" Your His Majesty! You're back!"
The emperor's body trembled, he flung the old eunuch aside and rushed to the Captain.
He gripped the other person's shoulders tightly with both hands.
"Who?!"
"But has Guyue returned?!"
The Captain, feeling dizzy from the shaking, quickly shook his head. "No... it's not His Highness."
The light in the emperor's eyes dimmed slightly.
Who is that?
"It's... it's Elder Cheng!"
The Captain, panting heavily, said urgently, " Minister Cheng... has returned from Five Immortals Mountain!"
Elder Cheng?!
The emperor's eyes widened suddenly.
Five Immortals Mountain...
Yes.
And there's Five Immortals Mountain!
As long as those reclusive True Person are willing to take action, what are the mere Demon of Mount Spirit Mountain worth?
The crisis on both fronts can be resolved!
Even Guyue can remain unharmed!
"Quick!"
The emperor's voice trembled, and he was so excited that he could barely speak, "Summon them quickly! No... I will go to welcome them myself!"
That's all.
He grabbed the hem of his robe and rushed out of the hall.
The old eunuch also showed a delighted expression, quickly got up from the ground, and stumbled after him.
There's always a way out!
God bless the Great Tang!
Outside the main hall.
A light drizzle is falling.
An aged figure slowly stepped through the palace gate.
The emperor stood on the steps, watching that figure, and the smile on his face gradually froze.
My heart sank suddenly.
An ominous premonition instantly enveloped my entire body.
" Elder Cheng..."
"What about the Five Immortals Mountain...?"
Cheng Buxiu slowly raised his head.
Rainwater slid down his aged face.
I can't tell if it's rain or tears.
His lips moved for a good long time.
He slowly began to speak, "This old minister... has failed Your His Majesty..."
Happy New Year!!!
It's the last day, please support me!!! (I'm begging you on my knees!!!)
