Chapter 1837: Chapter 602: Forced to Kill
Half a day later, within the imperial palace of Qinhuai County.
Inside Taizheng Hall, together with Chu Yunyun, preparing to preside over the first ’court assembly’ of the Dalv Dynasty, and receive the homage of the ministers, Chu Xisheng received the Qiankun Flying Sword sent back by Chu Ming.
Chu Ming had used the best Qiankun Flying Sword through the Formless Divine Sect’s convoy, using the fastest delivery method.
Thus, Chu Xisheng learned the details of the battle at the Iron Wall Mountain Range in just half a day.
Chu Ming’s combat power was undoubtedly crushing, but an unknown Eternal God intervened, teleporting three people away from a distance.
However, Chu Ming had once again locked onto Chu Rulai’s position through the ’Undying Yang Flame Saber’ embedded in his body.
"Qin Fengxian and Shu Huai Shi have already been resurrected? Interesting——"
Chu Xisheng stroked his chin while glancing sideways at Chu Yunyun: "It is now confirmed that Iron Spear Invincible Qin Fengxian has replaced his bloodline with the Giant Spirit Bloodline of the ’Hundred-Eyed Stone Spirit’ from the Stone Spirit Clan. As for Supreme Blade Shu Huai Shi, he replaced his bloodline with that of the ’Seven-Headed Ghost Car’ from the Ghost Car Clan."
"Why are you looking at me?"
Chu Yunyun noticed his gaze but remained unmoved as she looked ahead: "I have nothing to do with the Tieshan Qin Family now, let alone Qin Fengxian. He is the enemy who killed my father. If you can help me eliminate him, I’ll be very glad."
With the corners of his lips slightly upturned, Chu Xisheng turned his head to Liu Ruoxi, who doubled as the Chief of the Imperial Guard, and instructed: "Send a message to the ’Stone Spirit Clan’ and the ’Ghost Car Clan’, saying that I am very displeased upon hearing this, and demand they give me an explanation as soon as possible.
Within a hundred days, they must deliver Qin Fengxian and Shu Huai Shi to me, or I shall take my blade and march north, exterminating their entire clans!"
Liu Ruoxi’s expression turned serious, and she immediately bowed: "Yes!"
A ’Residence Attendant’ standing nearby, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat: "Your Majesty, the ’Stone Spirit Clan’ are the descendants of the ’Stone God’ Shi Yin, this might not be appropriate, right?"
The Residence Attendants are responsible for recording the emperor’s daily actions and state affairs.
After ascending the throne, Chu Xisheng also selected several well-educated scholars from the Confucian Sect to take on the role of his Residence Attendants.
But Chu Xisheng’s words startled him.
’Stone God’ Shi Yin is considered one of the more friendly deities towards the Human Clan.
Chu Xisheng, however, laughed carelessly, indifferent: "His descendants are numerous, losing several hundred thousand is no big deal. Speaking of bloodline inheritance, our Human Clan are also descendants of the ’Stone God’. Moreover, the curses of All Gods contain the power of the ’Stone God’."
But that is also considered a blessing granted by the ’Stone God’ to the Human Clan.
Although it hinders the Human Clan from condensing the Innate Divine Body, it makes it easier for them to approach the earth element’s bloodline power.
Their earth element techniques and martial arts are almost as powerful as the pure-blood descendants of the ’Stone God’.
Chu Xisheng then continued to stroke his chin, lost in thought.
Chu Yunyun glanced at him from the corner of her eye: "Chu Ming is pursuing Chu Rulai, leaving him unable to attend to Wang’an City at the same time; is that what’s troubling you?"
"Emperor Jianyuan cannot be simply let off."
Chu Xisheng sneered: "And Chu Ming, I’m somewhat uneasy as well. After all, the opponent is a god. If such a handy corpse puppet is lost, the pain would last several days. But as for Chu Ming’s end, I have an idea."
He instructed Ji Qianqian: "Send a few people to the Returning Ruins, and inform the two Corpse Ancestors there. I want them to dispatch at least six Near-God combatants to follow Chu Ming’s command!"
Conveniently, this will test the attitude of those two Corpse Ancestors.
The two have asked him, after unifying the Divine Continent, to use ’Mediate Creation’ or the method of ’Inverting Yin and Yang’ to reverse the yin-yang nature of ’Heavenly Gaze’, can’t expect them to contribute nothing, can I?
"As for Wang’an City——"
As Chu Xisheng pondered, Chu Yunyun suddenly spoke: "Once this court assembly is over, I’ll go!"
Her blue eyes reflected a cool glint: "The matters over there can only be handled by me!"
Chu Yunyun hoped that Chu Xisheng could stay in Qinhuai County to cultivate in peace and manage state affairs.
She and Chu Xisheng are connected by spells, sharing a life bond.
Only when Chu Xisheng breaks through to First Grade quickly can she truly unravel the Six Yin Soul Revival Spell and enter the realm of super-grade.
And they are now only at the last checkpoint of Second Grade—though this is hardly a checkpoint.
Chu Xisheng has already completed a high-level Chaos Secret Ceremony and only needs the secret medicine to ascend.
Chu Xisheng thought briefly and realized that Chu Yunyun was indeed the best candidate.
Whether facing opponents like Zhe Dragon and Zong Shenhua, or commanding an army in combat, Chu Yunyun is more than capable.
His wife’s Divine Intent Touch Death Blade has also reached the Fourth Form.
However, due to bloodline power and not completing the Secret Rite of Vengeance, its power is only a tenth of his.
But it’s more than enough for Chu Yunyun to move freely among the ten thousand soldiers in Wang’an City.
"It’s fine for you to go."
Chu Xisheng chuckled: "But, Yunyun, do you know what my aim is?"
"I have a guess."
Chu Yunyun looked outside the hall: "In this world, the only one who can help you bring Chu Rulai back is that Zhe Dragon."
This dragon boasts the strongest force currently apparent in the Mortal World.
As long as this dragon is willing to make a move, no matter where those Eternal Gods hide Chu Rulai, he can be brought back.
And her task is to force Zhe Dragon and Emperor Jianyuan to have no choice but to retrieve Chu Rulai.
"I suspect that Dog Emperor and Zhe Dragon are definitely plotting something major, intolerant of any external interference."
Chu Xisheng smiled slightly: "But after you head north, be cautious."
Chu Yunyun stroked the Rebellious God Banner Spear inside her sleeve with her hand.
This spear hasn’t tasted blood for a long time——
She looked forward to the upcoming battle of Wang’an City.
