Su Zimo remained silent as he looked at the people who were still struggling and screaming.
Although his combat strength was strong and he was once the most terrifying monster incarnate in Tianhuang Mainland, he was helpless against this.
There was no way to save these people.
The only thing he could do was to end their pain!
Poof! Poof! Poof!
Su Zimo flicked his fingertip gently and released streams of Dharmic powers, killing those mortals who were in so much pain that they wished they were dead. Thereafter, he released the immortal Dao fire and burned the entire city to ashes!
Su Zimo moved and continued forward.
Before long, his gaze shifted and he caught sight of a group of cultivators speeding not far ahead, as though they were discussing something.
"Have you heard? The Patriarch of Great Zhou is at the end of his lifespan and has already passed away!"
"Ah! The Dharma Daojun who established the Great Zhou Dynasty? "
"That's him."
"To think that he would have lived for so long even though he had just died."
"I heard that if not for the patriarch holding down the fort in the capital of Great Zhou, Great Zhou would have been annexed by the other three dynasties a long time ago!"
Su Zimo's ears twitched and he heard the contents of the cultivators' discussion clearly.
He frowned slightly with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
He had heard of the patriarch of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Back then, the reason why Nien Qi and little crane Qing Qing were able to enter the intermediate ancient battlefield was because the old immortal crane and the Patriarch of Great Zhou worked together to open up the spatial node of the ancient battlefield.
The patriarch was already in his twilight years and it was only logical that he had yet to break through and his lifespan was exhausted.
What puzzled Su Zimo was that this was something that should have been extremely secretive – how did everyone know about it?
If the three dynasties heard about this, it would be detrimental to Great Zhou.
Without further ado, Su Zimo split open a pair of Dharmic power wings behind him and lightning coiled around his body. Turning into a bolt of purple lightning, he surpassed those cultivators instantly and disappeared into the voids.
…
The capital of Great Zhou.
The palace was cold and cheerless.
It was a woman dressed in a light yellow robe. Her black hair was like a waterfall, and her appearance was extremely beautiful. Although she did not wear any makeup or pearls, her noble aura was overwhelming!
The woman gently stroked her forehead and gently leaned against the back of the chair. Her eyes were tightly shut, and there was a heavy tiredness between her brows, as if she was taking a nap.
A middle-aged man walked in from outside the hall. He looked at the sleeping woman and sighed softly.
During this period of time, the ancestor had passed away, and the pillars of the entire dynasty had collapsed. All of the heavy burden had fallen on this woman's shoulders.
Because this woman was the current Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Ji Yaoxue!
This kind of pressure, let alone a weak girl, even a seven foot tall man like him would find it hard to bear.
Over the past few days, the news of the Old Ancestor's death had somehow spread out, causing the entire Great Zhou Dynasty to become restless.
After hesitating for a long time, the middle-aged man said softly, "Reporting to the Emperor, all the Kings have arrived at the Royal City to offer their condolences."
"Yes."
Ji Yaoxue moved and woke up from her dream. She let out a long sigh and nodded, "Uncle Ming Ze, thank you for your hard work."
"It's nothing,"
The middle-aged man was none other than Perfected Lord Ming Ze who was once the Emperor of Great Zhou.
Right now, he was already at the Void Reversion realm!
Ji Yaoxue headed outside.
She was the one who wanted the kings to offer their condolences this time round!
Since the news of the Old Ancestor's death had already been leaked, she might as well take advantage of the situation and gather the kings of the Great Zhou vassal states here to teach them a lesson.
The two of them headed towards the depths of the palace where the Old Ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was buried.
The kings had arrived as well!
Right then, a beautiful figure sped over at an extremely fast speed with an anxious expression. It was the former commander of the White Hawk guards and one of the current commanders of the Imperial Army, Bai Yuhan!
After more than a hundred years, Bai Yuhan had already cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm.
"Yuhan, what's wrong?"
Something major must have happened for Bai Yuhan to be so anxious. However, Ji Yaoxue was still calm as she asked in a deep voice.
"Emperor, something bad has happened!"
Bai Yuhan panted slightly. "The spirit vessels of the three dynasties are approaching the Royal City! The emperors of the three dynasties have gathered and there are ten Void Reversions. There are more than 200 Genying Zhenjun and they claim to be here to offer their condolences! "
Ji Yaoxue's expression changed.
"What?!"
Dao Being Ming Ze was shocked and exclaimed.
The fact that the emperors of the three dynasties had entered the Great Zhou Dynasty at this moment with such powerful cultivators meant that they were definitely here with ill intentions and were not purely here to offer their condolences!
Initially, the emperors of the three dynasties did not dare to enter the capital of Great Zhou with the patriarch, the Dharma Daojun, holding down the fort.
But now that the patriarch had passed away, the emperors of the three dynasties had arrived immediately!
"Emperor, let's leave first before it's too late!"
Bai Yuhan persuaded with a worried expression.
Dao Being Ming Ze pondered for a moment and nodded as well. "There are less than ten Void Reversions in our capital combined. I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat them. Commander Bai is right, we should avoid them for now! "
"Avoid?"
Ji Yaoxue gave a self-deprecating laugh and asked instead, "Where can we avoid?"
"To Misty Peak!"
Dao Being Ming Ze said in a deep voice, "The old immortal crane is holding down the fort in Misty Peak. As long as you have the support of the old immortal crane, you can lead the army of cultivators to make a comeback and reclaim the capital!"
Ji Yaoxue shook her head. "The foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty is here, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty is here and the citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty are here. Anyone can retreat except for me."
"I'm the Empress of Great Zhou!"
The kings were all in the palace. If Ji Yaoxue retreated, the Great Zhou Dynasty would be destroyed as well.
"Send a message to Misty Peak and request for senior crane to provide reinforcements!"
Ji Yaoxue took a deep breath and a resolute expression appeared on her face. "Gather all the Void Reversions and Genying Zhenjun in the capital and have them rush over as soon as possible!"
"The other party is merely a Void Reversion and Genying Zhenjun. As long as we can hold on and wait for senior crane of Misty Peak to arrive, all the cultivators of the three dynasties will be buried here!"
"Understood!"
Bai Yuhan replied in a deep voice and withdrew a spirit crane from her storage bag. She wrote a few words on it and released it.
At the same time, Perfected Lord Ming Ze released spirit cranes one after another and gathered all the Void Reversions in the capital!
Deep in the palace.
In front of a tomb, the kings stood side by side with solemn expressions.
Before long, Ji Yaoxue led many cultivators over.
Nine Void Reversions and 37 Genying Zhenjun followed behind her with a terrifying aura!
"What's going on?"
The kings' hearts skipped a beat.
All of them knew that the empress had called them over to give them a warning.
However, they did not expect the empress to create such a huge commotion!
"Marquises, if you're done with your condolences, please return."
When Ji Yaoxue arrived, she did not exchange pleasantries with the kings and said directly.
The kings were stunned.
However, right after, some of the marquises reacted and bid farewell with cupped fists.
The remaining marquises left one after another as well.
Right then, a black cloud shrouded over from the skies not far away. The clouds rumbled and enveloped the entire capital of Great Zhou!
"I heard that the Patriarch of Great Zhou has passed away and the Emperor of Great Xia is here personally to offer his condolences!"
"The Emperor of Great Shang is here personally to offer his condolences!"
"The Emperor of Great You is here personally to offer his condolences!"
The kings were shocked and looked in the direction of the voice.
In the skies, three gigantic spirit vessels tore through the black clouds. One after another, figures stood on the spirit vessels and sailed over slowly with immense might!
