Northern Zhou.
Within the imperial city, squads of Yue Kingdom swordsmen clad in straw rain armor, with cropped hair and tattooed bodies, were freely looting the treasuries, carrying off spiritual treasures and beautiful palace maids----
In the Great Void, several streaks of light stood in confrontation.
On the Yue Kingdom's side, Ling Yuan naturally led the group. Besides him were Yun Wuxin and the Ling Clan's sole Purple Mansion patriarch.
Opposite them stood the Northern Zhou imperial family's Purple Mansions, all gathered behind Xia Longqie.
"Northern Zhou has lost the Dao. Today, it shall perish!"
Ling Yuan's two divine abilities shone against one another, their brilliance interweaving. The mysteries of Mutual Slaughter and General Marquis continuously elevated his mana, making him seem to merge with the hundred thousand Yue troops in the present world. He commanded them as easily as his own limbs, while the sword intent around him shot straight into the heavens.
In this short time, he had not only cultivated the Dao Foundation of General Marquis, but successfully transformed it into a divine ability. He was now in the middle stage of Purple Mansion.
With his current might, even though he was merely in the middle stage of Purple Mansion, it would not feel safe unless several Great True Persons came from the other side.
"Fellow Daoist, this is rather too much----"
Xia Longqie looked down at the massacred Northern Zhou capital, a faint trace of regret in his eyes.
Now that his Dao Path was blocked, he had experienced the coldness and warmth of human relations more profoundly than ever during his days after returning to Nine-Heavens Fire Manor.
The ordinary disciples still did not dare neglect a Great True Person, but the change in the attitudes of the three Banner Bearers told the whole story.
