Chapter 1731: Chapter 825: Suppressing Sima, the Old Dog!
"Long live! Long live!"
The mighty sound echoed through heaven and earth, causing the void to tremble. Countless Yan Army soldiers raised their spears, looking at the figure ahead, their eyes filled with frenzy and admiration.
Upon hearing this sound, even the Jin Army in the Divine Capital City breathed a sigh of relief, the boulder weighing on their hearts finally disappearing completely.
Citizens in the city hid in their homes, exchanging bewildered glances.
They began praying for heaven’s protection, hoping for a safe transition.
Sima Ke also seemed to unload a heavy burden from his shoulders, thinking that a dethroned king was still better off than a dead one, hoping... to gain lifelong wealth and peace.
Being an emperor is not an easy task.
"Congratulations father on finally ascending to greatness. From now on, command the world, unify the Central Plains, and end this chaotic era." Sima Ke quickly whispered.
"End the chaos..."
Listening to Sima Ke’s words, Chen Yuan unexpectedly recalled the words he spoke during the confrontation with Jingtai at Purple Gold Mountain.
The chaos in the world starts with Chen Yuan and will end with Chen Yuan.
Today, that promise was finally fulfilled.
"Well done, rest assured, Chen always keeps his word; the Sima Family is the Sima Family, you Sima Ke are Sima Ke. In the future, as long as Great Yan is undying, you’ll forever enjoy prosperity."
"Thank you, father. Your child has one more thing to report."
Chen Yuan, making such promises in front of so many people, delighted Sima Ke, who quickly whispered again.
"Speak."
"Not long ago, Grand Ancestor Sima Yuande approached me... approached your child, saying there is a way to retain father, just let me open my spirit and follow his lead to mobilize the nation’s fate.
Father must be careful."
Chen Yuan’s gaze slightly tightened, not surprised at all, his eyes becoming somewhat playful as he looked down at Sima Ke, lightly saying:
"Since there’s a chance to kill me, why didn’t you agree, instead informing me?"
"Father, you are unparalleled in both literary and martial prowess. Even the Grand Ancestor isn’t your match."
"Hehe..."
"Although initially I had some thoughts, after consideration, I gave up."
Sima Ke showed a trace of shame to Chen Yuan.
"Oh, why?"
"One is my father, the other is an ancestor from hundreds of years ago. The difference between near and far is clear to me."
"Good, I’ll remember this."
Chen Yuan nodded slightly, unknown whether he believed Sima Ke’s words.
"Respectfully invite King Yan into the city, Ke will lead the horse and offer a stool." Sima Ke immediately stepped forward.
"No need."
Chen Yuan raised his hand, refusing Sima Ke.
"Uh... well..."
Before Sima Ke’s words were finished, Chen Yuan shifted his gaze to the sky, casually saying:
"Sima Yuande... has arrived!"
As soon as Chen Yuan finished speaking, a terrifying power rose from the Divine Capital City, sweeping across the land. The overwhelming pressure instantly changed the expressions of countless city soldiers.
Princess Pingyang, Zhang Yantong, and Xiao Jing also changed their expressions.
Also changing his expression was the dethroned king, Sima Ke. He paused, quickly explaining:
"Father, your child harbors no deceit, you... must see clearly..."
He feared Chen Yuan’s misunderstanding, as the invitation to enter the city might lead to undue speculation.
"I understand."
Since coming to Divine Capital City, Chen Yuan had been waiting for Sima Yuande’s appearance, knowing the latter wouldn’t resist showing up.
Even a battle with the Immortal Domain might occur.
"Retreat!" ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Vice Commander Chen Huaiyi ordered, and the densely packed Yan Army soldiers rapidly retreated, without the slightest panic, seemingly having rehearsed beforehand.
"Chen Yuan, I warned you. The day you enter Divine Capital City will be your burial day." A majestic voice came from all directions, booming like thunder.
In the next moment, the void a hundred feet before Chen Yuan suddenly began to distort, and a figure wearing a white long robe slowly materialized.
His face was not revealed, square-shaped, with an imposing aura between his brows, initially inconspicuous but upon closer inspection, one could sense the invisible Dao Rhythm enveloping this man.
Jin Grand Ancestor, Sima Yuande!
This was his true body.
Sima Ke quickly bowed his head, evidently fearful, and hurriedly ran behind Chen Yuan.
"Hehe, I’ve come to send you off myself."
Chen Yuan chuckled softly, showing no surprise to Sima Yuande’s threat.
Sima Yuande narrowed his eyes, standing with hands behind his back, incredibly imposing, as befitting an emperor who founded a dynasty, his aura unmatched.
Looking at the composed Chen Yuan, he suddenly smiled:
"You are rather confident."
"To walk the world without confidence, how can one conquer it?"
"Sometimes, being overly confident can lead to disasters. I once advised you in Shuzhou City to cease your ambitions and offered you an Immortal Fate for immortality.
Unfortunately, your arrogance rejected that offer."
Chen Yuan quietly watched him, saying nothing, waiting for Sima Yuande to appear and for other hidden Immortals to seize the opportunity to lay formations near Divine Capital City.
To rival the Immortal Domain, one must be fully prepared.
No negligence allowed.
"Recently, you first destroyed the Seven Killings Hall, then killed Xiang Qianqiu, resisted Barbarians Clan to the north, defended against demons to the south, withstood Buddhists to the west, and battled Japanese to the east. In terms of achievements, I am far inferior."
