Great Cang Commandery!
At this moment, Jiang Wei and Jia Xu had completely defeated Great Wind Commandery and began a massive attack on the capital. Countless siege weapons were transported to the city walls.
Such a massive attack sent chills down the spines of the people of Great Cang Commandery; the capital city was now likely in grave danger.
The two people watched this scene quietly from the crowd.
However, upon closer inspection, one can see that one of them has a trembling arm, clearly indicating that he is not at peace.
"Immortal Master, this scene is somewhat terrifying. Is this the Prince of Xiliang?"
Looking at the densely packed army, Li Yifeng felt his mouth go dry and his whole body tremble. There were at least 500,000 to 600,000 soldiers here, even more ferocious than his father at his peak!
This is just one army; it's said there are three such armies. That's ridiculous!
At this moment, he felt that Great Ning was probably really going to be destroyed this time, and his mood was somewhat complicated.
He had always wanted revenge, but now that his enemy's empire was about to collapse, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.
The man he called the Immortal Master glanced at him and said quietly, "Young Master, the Prince of Xiliang is ordained by Heaven, and the people of the All Under Heaven will support him. Naturally, there will be no shortage of troops to fight for him."
"If the prince wants to defy fate and avenge that blood feud, then the only way is to follow the Prince of Xiliang."
Li Yifeng remained silent, simply watching the army march towards the capital. The dust and smoke rising along the way obscured his view, as if he had returned to the Min River of yesteryear.
Back then, my father was still alive, and everything was so wonderful.
Unfortunately, Li Anlan ruined everything!
It wasn't that he betrayed the royal family, but rather that Li Anlan abandoned him, so he couldn't blame himself.
He sighed, his gaze falling on the ethereal Immortal Master Zhang beside him, and he couldn't help but murmur, "Xianshi, you're one of the Prince of Xiliang, aren't you?"
"I am here for the sake of all living beings. Following the Lord of All Under Heaven is my mission. Everything I do is for the people," Zhang Jiao said mysteriously, without giving a direct answer.
Li Yifeng's lips twitched, and he said in a deep voice, "What about Guan Yu? Was he also one of the Prince of Xiliang's men?"
"As I've said, those destined by Heaven will be followed by everyone," Zhang Jiao said with a smile, waving his whisk.
Depend on!
Li Yifeng's face turned green. So you guys are gods and ghosts alike, you get to say whatever you want?
However, in this case, the power of the Prince of Xiliang is probably still underestimated. With three armies plus Guan Yu, he alone could destroy Great Ning. So why would he need to enter the capital?
He gritted his teeth and said, "Now that the Prince of Xiliang is sweeping across the north and besieging the capital, isn't it time to get rid of me?"
"Your Highness is being extreme. If you truly wanted to kill me, would you have waited until we got here?"
Zhang Jiao sighed, slowly walked to the edge of the cliff, looked in the direction of the capital, and said in a low voice, "The world is vast, and all of it is a pure land, the territory of the Lord of Destiny. The Lord of Destiny can Tiandu, so why can't he accommodate you?"
"..." Li Yifeng's lips twitched; he didn't believe the charlatan's words.
The idea that statues of the Prince of Xiliang appeared overnight is utter nonsense, as he personally witnessed it. He even helped create some of those statues.
You might be able to fool others, but you can't fool him.
Just as I was about to speak, I heard a loud rumble, and the entire ground trembled.
Looking around, he saw the Daxing Temple not far away suddenly explode, and then the entire temple collapsed.
On the site of the temple, a colossal statue stood out, piercing through the roof and shining with golden divine light!
"Holy crap, Daxing Temple is blown up!"
"No, this is the statue of the Prince of Xiliang again, but isn't this statue way too big!"
"My goodness, this statue is way too big!"
"Look, this statue seems different. It points one finger to the sky and one to the ground, but there looks like something is hanging from its waist!"
Watching the crowds swarm away, Li Yifeng subconsciously glanced at Zhang Jiao. Seeing his mysterious expression, he couldn't help but swallow hard and said bitterly, "Is this also a method of the Immortal Master?"
Splitting mountains and cracking rocks—it's incredibly terrifying.
With such terrifying power, even city walls probably couldn't withstand it.
"This is beyond human capability; it must be the work of nature!" Zhang Jiao laughed.
You're kidding me!
Could an ordinary person recognize the Prince of Xiliang at a glance?
This is clearly someone deliberately spreading rumors; they're obviously trying to cause trouble.
Li Yifeng didn't have time to ask any more questions and ran over as well. This huge statue was clearly different from the previous one, and he had heard that there was something on the statue. He couldn't help but become curious.
Just as they reached the entrance of Daxing Temple, they heard someone shout, "My God! The statue of the Prince of Xiliang is actually holding a jade seal! It turns out the Prince of Xiliang truly is the chosen one!"
"Holy crap, the Heirloom Seal of the Realm has even been revealed?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yifeng felt his head buzzing. Had the Heirloom Seal of the Realm even come out?
He walked over shakily and saw that the statue had a seal hanging at its waist. The seal was extremely noble and had eight large characters printed on it. "By the mandate of Heaven, may your life be long and prosperous."
"What is this?" he asked, trembling.
Zhang Jiao glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "This is the He Family Jade Disc, the true Heirloom Seal of the Realm, representing the rightful succession of Heaven and Earth!"
The true orthodoxy of Heaven and Earth!
Upon hearing these four words, Li Yifeng trembled. He finally understood what Zhang Jiao meant by coming here: he had actually destroyed a temple to create this so-called orthodox empire.
So, the next step is to use this Heirloom Seal of the Realm to win over the people and attack the capital of Great Ning, right?
Sure enough, his worries came true the next moment.
A group of Xiliang soldiers walked towards them, and the leader was none other than Jia Xu, the Xiliang Army.
Jia Xu glanced at Zhang Jiao and the other man not far away, then turned his gaze to the golden statue and the sacred Heirloom Seal of the Realm, his eyes becoming profound.
He couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "Our lord is indeed the chosen one of Heaven! Not only has such a large statue of a deity suddenly appeared, but he is also carrying the Heirloom Seal of the Realm. This is truly the emperor ordained by Heaven!"
"That makes sense. No wonder the Prince of Xiliang is so powerful; he's the emperor destined by heaven." Someone immediately chimed in, playing the straight man.
Jia Xu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "This is our lord's seal, recognized by Heaven and Earth! Quickly, build a ladder, I will personally bring it down!"
Welcome, my lord!
The people below immediately knelt on the ground, and Jia Xu dared not be negligent in the slightest, personally taking down the jade seal.
He raised the imperial seal high, and at that moment, a radiant light appeared on his body. He roared, " The Heirloom Seal of the Realm is here! We, the Xiliang Liang, in accordance with the will of Heaven, will attack the capital and kill the tyrannical Emperor Li Anlan!"
"Kill!"
With a loud roar, hundreds of thousands of people cheered instantly, and then headed straight for the capital.
