Suddenly, the tiles of the grand hall cracked!
A dark beam of light descended at an extremely fast speed and descended into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
At that moment, the atmosphere in the grand hall was tense.
Although there were many cultivators in the grand hall and many Genying Zhenjun were present, none of them managed to react to the sudden appearance of the dark beam of light!
"Watch out!"
"Who's there?!"
The crowd dispersed.
"Pfft!"
The dark beam of light was nailed to the ground – it was an arrow.
It was so powerful that the tail of the arrow was still trembling slightly even after it was half buried into the ground!
Everyone focused their gazes.
There were as many as six spirit patterns etched on the body of the Black Gold Arrow!
"It's a connate spirit weapon!"
"No wonder it's so fast!"
Many Genying Zhenjun in the grand hall felt a lingering fear.
Given the situation earlier on, if that arrow was aimed at any one of them, they would not have been able to dodge it and would have died on the spot!
The grand hall was in chaos and there was only one person who did not move.
It was the eldest prince!
The eldest prince's motionless figure stood out in the crowd.
Everyone's gazes landed on the eldest prince and could not help but shudder. Their eyes widened in disbelief.
A bloodied hole appeared on the eldest prince's head in a shocking manner!
The eldest prince was dead!
His head was pierced by an arrow!
"This …"
Instantly, the grand hall fell into a momentary silence.
Immediately after, Perfected Lord Jing Shan and Perfected Lord Yong Yan were enraged. Killing intent burst forth from their eyes as they said coldly, "Where did this thief come from? How dare he take the life of a prince of Great Zhou!"
Boom!
Perfected Lord Jing Shan flicked his sleeves and attacked.
A gigantic hole appeared on the roof of the grand hall.
It was empty.
The person who attacked had already left.
"Everyone, listen to my orders!"
Perfected Lord Jing Shan calmed down and said in a deep voice, "That person's weapon is a spirit weapon and his cultivation realm is only Jin Dan's. He's definitely not out of Cang Lang City yet!"
"Troops, listen up! Hunt him down in the entire city!"
"Report …!"
Right then, a hurried voice sounded from outside the grand hall.
A strong renovation soldier sprinted over, drenched in sweat and panting. He looked extremely excited but there was a hint of fear in the depths of his eyes.
"Report! Reporting … "
The strong renovation worker directly rushed into the main hall. He was out of breath and shouted repeatedly.
True Monarch Yong Yan berated, "Whatever it is, put it aside for now!"
"There's a military report from the frontline. Emergency … Huff, huff … Emergency military report!"
The strong renovation worker gasped for breath and said intermittently.
The expressions of everyone in the hall changed.
"Could it be that the allied forces of the three dynasties did not rest last night and chose to cross the Cang Lang Mountain Range?"
"Ah!"
"In that case, the allied forces of the three dynasties should have already arrived at Cang Lang City!"
The crowd was in a state of chaos.
"Quiet!"
At this moment, Ji Yaoxue's voice rang out. It was filled with the majesty of the Emperor, and it drowned out the clamor of the crowd.
Ji Yaoxue asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, what happened?"
The strong renovator had already caught his breath and said, "Last night, the allied forces of the three dynasties did not set up camp. Instead, they chose to cross the Cang Lang Mountain Range!"
Hearing this, the hearts of everyone in the hall gradually sank to the bottom.
Jin Lou paused for a moment and changed the topic. "However, a beast tide has erupted in Cang Lang Mountain Range!"
"What?!"
"Beast tide?"
"How is that possible?"
A series of exclamations sounded from the crowd.
Perfected Lord Ming Ze had a calm expression and said in a deep voice, "From what I know, there are no fiend demons in Cang Lang Mountain Range. Even if a beast tide had erupted, it shouldn't have been able to shake the allied forces of the three dynasties."
The strong renovator gulped and continued, "The allied forces of the three dynasties are almost completely wiped out. Out of the millions of troops, only a few hundred thousand managed to escape. They were utterly defeated!"
"The three princes are dead and the allied forces of the three dynasties have been defeated. They have already retreated!"
There was complete silence in the hall, not a single sound could be heard.
Completely wiped out!
The three princes were dead!
The news was so shocking that everyone had forgotten that Just Now, a prince of Great Zhou was shot to death by an arrow.
"The heavens have blessed Great Zhou!"
Many generals and commanders knelt on the ground and shouted emotionally.
Ji Yaoxue frowned slightly in deep thought.
The lips of the cultivator quivered, as though he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Perfected Lord Ming Ze frowned. Although this was a joyous occasion, there were still many doubts.
"There were more than a hundred Genying Zhenjun in the allied forces of the three dynasties. Where are they?" Perfected Lord Ming Ze asked once more.
A look of fear flashed through the eyes of the burly man as he replied with a quivering voice, "T-All of them are dead."
"All of them are dead?"
Perfected Lord Ming Ze shuddered and asked, "Are the fiend demons born in Cang Lang Mountain Range that powerful?"
"There are no fiend demons,"
The burly man shook his head. "The beast tide in Cang Lang Mountain Range was triggered by a single person. Later on, more than a hundred Genying Zhenjun chased after that person and arrived at a small town. "
"Suddenly, a thick fog rose from the small town. By the time the fog dissipated, all of the Genying Zhenjun were dead without a single survivor!"
The hall went silent once more.
Everyone was shocked and confused.
A single person could command thousands of demons and trigger such a terrifying beast tide to engulf the allied forces of the three dynasties?
Or was that a ferocious beast in human form?
Why did that ferocious beast in human form end up in a town?
There was even a fog in the town?
Later on, more than a hundred Genying Zhenjun were dead?
All of these things sounded very strange.
Perfected Lord Ming Ze pondered for a moment and asked, "Why did that person stop the allied forces of the three dynasties?"
The burly man replied, "His kin passed away and coincidentally, the allied forces of the three dynasties invaded. In his rage, he went on a killing spree and triggered a beast tide, declaring that he wanted everyone to die with him!"
When she heard that, Ji Yaoxue seemed to have thought of something and shuddered. Ignoring her injuries, she ran out of the hall and looked into the distance.
Perfected Lord Ming Ze's gaze was sharp as he asked again, "What's that person's name?"
"I think it's … Su Zimo!"
Psst!
Everyone in the hall gasped and their expressions changed when they heard that name!
Su Zimo, the strongest monster incarnate in history 20 years ago!
Back in the Great Qian Ruins, he defeated all the paragons of the North Region and incinerated their Nascent Souls, dying half the skies red!
Twenty years had passed, and this name had almost been forgotten by people.
To think that it would be mentioned once more today!
"Impossible!"
Perfected Lord Jing Shan said resolutely, "Everyone knows that Su Zimo leaped into the Dragon Burial Valley. How can he still be alive?"
Perfected Lord Ming Ze was in disbelief as well.
However, he knew that if there was anyone in this world who could do something as such, it would most likely be Su Zimo!
"I heard that Su Zimo used a connate spirit weapon, the Black Gold Arrow, in the battle between the paragons of the North Region 20 years ago," A cultivator in the crowd whispered.
There were rumors about the relationship between Ji Yaoxue and Su Zimo in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Everyone was enlightened.
If those rumors were true, that arrow that killed the eldest prince was a show of might!
There was no chance for excuses.
He was killed straight away!
With the defeat of the alliance army of the three dynasties and the death of the eldest prince, who would dare to target Ji Yaoxue again?
None of the Genying Zhenjun in the hall, including the Genying Zhenjun of the two princes, Jing Shan and Yong Yan, dared to cause trouble for Su Zimo.
Now that more than a hundred Genying Zhenjun of the three dynasties were dead, who would dare to provoke him?
There were only five words left in Perfected Lord Ming Ze's mind.
A single arrow determined the fate of the universe!
To think that the methods of that young man would be even more frightening after 20 years!
