All the civil and military officials present could not help but be moved by Lin Xiu's heroic spirit. Even the old man with white hair at his temples stealthily straightened his back at this moment. His eyes were burning with a surging battle intent.
With such a monarch, why would the Cloud Nation not prosper?
As for those who had secretly pledged their allegiance to the Southern Cloud Nation, they could not help but feel anxious and fearful. Even though they knew that their emperor had an outstanding combat strength, the gap between the Paragons was like mud. That made them certain that Lin Xiu would definitely put on a good show. But looking at the current situation, it was likely that Lin Xiu could turn the tables around.
At this moment, Lin Xiu had just entered the secret realm, and his mind was not bewitched. He knew that if he did not act decisively, he would be in trouble. Thus, he immediately broke through the sky and flew straight towards the Southern Cloud Nation's royal palace.
The two powerful Paragons were currently drinking fine wine in the royal palace. In their opinion, this expedition was already a done deal. The only variable was whether they could kill the Rising Cloud Nation's emperor.
When they discovered Lin Xiu's figure, their pupils constricted. They did not expect that Lin Xiu would dare to come here alone. But this was exactly what they wanted. With the two powerful Paragons working together, Lin Xiu would have to be captured no matter how powerful he was.
Lin Xiu did not speak any nonsense with these people. He casually pulled out the sword by his waist and looked at the two powerful Paragons. He took a step forward with an imposing aura.
"Those who offend my Rising Cloud Nation will be killed no matter how far they are."
Lin Xiu's aura was merely at the second level of the Paragon realm. But for some reason, the two powerful Paragons from the Rising Cloud Nation felt uneasy in their hearts. But they did not think too much about it. They thought that Lin Xiu was merely putting up a desperate resistance. As long as the two of them erupted with their full strength, it would not take them much effort to deal with Lin Xiu.
But was that really the case?
Lin Xiu's figure moved quickly. Even the almighty who had reached the second level of the Venerable Realm could not capture Lin Xiu's movements. For a moment, he could not help but feel even more terrified. Right at this moment, the emperor of the Yun Nation took out a bunch of talismans and wanted to set up an inescapable net to kill Lin Xiu.
"Lin Xiu, you better surrender obediently. Our two countries have been sworn enemies since ancient times. This time, I finally have the chance to defeat you. This proves that the fate of your Yun Nation has come to an end!" At this moment, the Southern Cloud Emperor said with great satisfaction. In his opinion, Lin Xiu was already a turtle trapped in a jar and was not worth mentioning.
"Idiot!"
At this moment, the second level Paragon frowned and angrily reprimanded the Southern Cloud Emperor. This idiot could not see that Lin Xiu's current state was amiss. Even though it was just the aura of a second level Paragon, it made him feel an extremely dangerous aura.
Lin Xiu was not interested in what the two were thinking. He took a big step forward with an indomitable aura. Furthermore, the enormous sword in his hand had erupted with the power it should have. With a flash of light, the head of that Southern Cloud Emperor was immediately separated from his body.
The second level Paragon was currently feeling uneasy in his heart. He had never thought that Lin Xiu's combat power would be so powerful. Even though the Southern Cloud Emperor was merely a first level Paragon, he would have to spend quite a bit of effort to deal with the other party.
Who would have thought that the Southern Cloud Emperor could not even exchange a single move in front of Lin Xiu before dying? He had bitterly cultivated for several thousand years, yet he turned into ashes in a single day.
That wasn't the end of it. Lin Xiu slowly advanced towards the second stage of the Venerable Realm. To him, this person actually wanted to annihilate all his people. This was a heinous crime. Moreover, Lin Xiu's purpose in coming to the Greencloud Secret Realm was to lay down a perfect foundation for him to enter the Sovereign Realm.
Even though the Venerable Realm Almighty was extremely fearful of Lin Xiu and could not help but beg for mercy, Lin Xiu remained unmoved. He raised his blade and the Venerable Realm Level 2 Almighty was turned into a corpse and fell from the sky.
This calamity of the Rising Cloud Nation was completely shattered in the hands of Lin Xiu.
After resolving this unforeseen event, Lin Xiu did not stay any longer. Instead, he immediately returned to the royal palace of the Rising Cloud Nation and slowly waited for the development of this matter. The main culprit had been killed by him. He believed that this news would soon spread across the world. By then, the British army would definitely be able to break through the Southern Cloud Nation with irresistible force. From then on, it would allow the Rising Cloud Nation to become stronger than before.
As for those ministers who had secretly pledged their allegiance to the Southern Cloud Nation, they were currently trembling with fear as they came to the outside of the royal palace to seek an audience with the King.
To these people, they no longer had any path of retreat. They could only hope that this incredibly powerful King would look at their past contributions and be lenient.
Lin Xiu did not pursue the crimes of these people. When faced with difficulties, everyone would want to protect themselves. This was the instinct of humans. If he were to kill all of these people, even though it would affect his prestige, it would not be beneficial to the long-term stability of the nation. Hence, he merely fined these ministers a few years of their salary and did not punish them too much.
A calamity was averted without a trace. This also caused the citizens of the De Chun Nation to be filled with joy. They could feel that from now on, the Rising Cloud Nation would most likely be the strongest dynasty in the world. Furthermore, the martial prowess of this Emperor was so great that even the other dynasties near the borders would have to weigh their own capabilities before invading the Rising Cloud Nation on a large scale.
There was no sense of time in the mountains. After Lin Xiu averted this calamity, he immediately chose to abdicate and pass his throne to a disciple of the royal family. He then transformed into an ordinary mountain villager and began a journey of cultivating his heart in the world.
It was unknown when it started, but the legend of the Invincible Martial God began to spread throughout the nation. It was proof of the illustrious military achievements of their Emperor.
As time passed, Lin Xiu's rationality began to degenerate and he began to forget some of the things that happened in the past. He slowly began to show signs of being assimilated in this secret realm.
The Qingyun Secret Realm was the most powerful secret realm in the world. Although it was only a small world, it directly affected the soul of a person. Even if Lin Xiu was extremely powerful, he still could not resist the invasion of the secret realm.
Lin Xiu did not know how many years he had spent in this place. Sometimes, he was a mountain villager, working hard in the fields and living a farming life with his back to the sky. Sometimes, he would transform into a Jianghu Ranger, getting rid of evil and bringing peace to the people.
But most of the time, Lin Xiu would come to a mountain peak and sit quietly. He would look at the setting sun in the distance and feel a sense of loss in his heart.
He had gradually forgotten his own name and just repeated the things at hand mechanically every day. He did not know the meaning of life at all.
As for the saber at his waist, Lin Xiu did not know how long it had been since he used it. He gradually began to become numb to it. He allowed the wind and snow to hit his shoulder and walked alone to the far north.
Outside the border of the Yun Nation was a barbaric and undeveloped territory. There were barbarians here who only knew how to kill and plunder and did not know what civilization was.
Lin Xiu's arrival quickly attracted the attention of a barbarian. He only had an apron made of animal skin around his waist. After seeing Lin Xiu's arrival, a ferocious glint flashed in his eyes and he licked his lips.
This man held a large saber in his hand and came to Lin Xiu without saying a word. He slashed at Lin Xiu in the air, but what surprised him was that when the giant saber slashed Lin Xiu's body, not only did it not cause a splash of blood, but it also caused a hole in the saber that was made of good material. He could not help but feel terrified.
Although these barbarians were not civilized, they also knew that there were many cultivators in those places where civilizations gathered. Those people could ride on the clouds and were omnipotent.
Could it be that this time, he kicked an iron plate? Could this seemingly silly young man in front of him be a legendary powerhouse?
The barbarian threw the saber in his hand and hurriedly fled into the distance. Lin Xiu turned a blind eye to this. He could not remember his own name and continued to walk numbly like a robot.
Although these barbarians did not have high intelligence, they could still do some simple work, such as making a fire and cooking. It did not take long for Lin Xiu to arrive in front of a simple tent. At this moment, the bright moon was hanging high in the sky and there were a few beast roars coming from the distant mountains from time to time.
After hearing the noise outside the tent, two barbarians quickly came out. After seeing Lin Xiu, their eyes revealed vigilance.
But Lin Xiu did not even look at them. He walked straight into the tent, picked up an iron pot, then poured a cup of water and drank it himself.
Sitting cross-legged in the tent, the two savages looked at each other, but they did not dare to attack Lin Xiu directly. Although their tent had been occupied, they still had a fear of Lin Xiu from the bottom of their hearts. This was an instinctive reaction.
Slowly, Lin Xiu raised his eyelids, glanced at the two barbarians in front of him, then stood up.
"There will be a sudden snowstorm in three days. If I don't want to freeze to death, I'd better hurry to the south."
After saying this, Lin Xiu's figure suddenly disappeared. When he appeared again, he was already in a valley with birds singing and flowers fragrant.
Although Lin Xiu did not have much rationality left, he was after all a powerful being who had reached the second level of the Venerable Realm. The use of power was imprinted in his bones. With a thought, he could change his body shape.
As for why he came here, Lin Xiu did not know and just followed the call in his heart.
