Because the sea was under Shen Lang's complete control, it was very difficult to find out how the battle in Raging Tide City was going.
But there were still some who slipped through the net, such as the merchants who had escaped not long after the battle started. After escaping Raging Tide City, they kept fleeing to the north of Leizhou Island and found a remote beach to board a small boat and escape to Nujiang Prefecture.
Of course, many of these merchants failed because many small boats weren't suitable for sailing on the sea. Even under calm conditions, a large number of them successfully escaped to the Yue Kingdom's mainland.
One of the Raging Tide merchants knelt in front of Zhuo Zhaoyan and wailed, "Tragic, too tragic."
Zhuo Zhaoyan said coldly, "Stop wailing and tell me everything in detail. Don't exaggerate."
The Raging Tide merchant said, "Shen Lang used a giant ball to fly into the sky and then threw a type of black oil at Raging Tide City. The fire burned for a few days and the entire city was in ruins. Even the stones and bricks were destroyed. More than a hundred thousand people were burned to death. Only a few hundred managed to escape.
"It was too tragic. I saw countless people die in the sea of fire with my own eyes, burned to a crisp. Also, the smoke is poisonous. Many people suddenly fell down and died while running. "
At this point, the merchant from Raging Tide City burst into tears and almost collapsed to the ground.
Zhuo Zhaoyan said, "What about Yan Nanfei? The big castle? "
"I don't know. The fire was still burning when I escaped, but the big castle is still there. I didn't see Sir Yan Nanfei. "
Zhuo Zhaoyan was still full of hope. She knew about the big castle in the center of Raging Tide City. It was like a turtle shell, extremely sturdy. No fire could burn it.
Moreover, Yan Nanfei had a hundred thousand soldiers, ten thousand Iron Blood Army of the Yin Yuan Association, and thirty thousand Gu Arrows from Stupa Mountain.
Even if Raging Tide City was burned to ruins, Yan Nanfei should still be able to win this battle.
Zhuo Zhaoyan paced around the hall, constantly consoling herself.
"Yan Nanfei will definitely win. Don't worry, don't worry!"
At this time, one of her warriors stepped forward and said, "Miss, the City Lord of Xuanwu, Zhu Wenhua, requests an audience."
Zhuo Zhaoyan frowned. She didn't like this Zhu Wenhua at all. Not long ago, he had gone to Raging Tide City to try and get a share of the silk business. Not only that, but he also wanted to take Xu Qianqian as a concubine. Wasn't he trying to steal her away?
But now that Shen Lang was here, everyone had a common enemy, so they needed to unite.
"I let him in."
… …
A moment later, Zhu Wenhua walked in, his face pale.
"I heard that there might be changes in Raging Tide City?" Zhu Wenhua said, "Some merchants of Raging Tide City fled to my City Lord's mansion, saying that Shen Lang attacked Raging Tide City from the sky and burned the entire city to ruins?"
Zhuo Zhaoyan sneered. "Zhu Wenhua, what are you trying to say?"
Zhu Wenhua was silent for a moment. "Miss Zhuo, I know you're prejudiced against me. But right now, we're in the same boat, so we need to be honest with each other. "
Zhuo Zhaoyan said, "Aren't you asking if we should escape? Am I right? "
Zhu Wenhua nodded. "Yes!"
That was exactly what he meant. Once Shen Lang took Raging Tide City, he would attack Skywind Island and Jinshan Island. Soon, he would land in Xuanwu City and take back the Xuanwu Marquis Estate.
If they waited for Shen Lang's army to land, it would be too late. Once Raging Tide City was lost, everyone would run.
Zhuo Zhaoyan said, "If we run, where do you think we should run to?"
"Sky-sea Pavilion, or the capital, Skyyue City," Zhu Wenhua said.
Zhuo Zhaoyan said, "I already know all the information you know. Shen Lang used a giant ball to launch an airstrike and threw millions of kilograms of black oil at Raging Tide City, burning the entire city into ruins. But the castle is still there, and so is Yan Nanfei's army. You've been to Raging Tide City, so let me ask you, can that castle be burned down? "
Zhu Wenhua thought for a moment and shook his head. "It can't be burned down."
Zhuo Zhaoyan asked again, "Then let me ask you, how does Raging Tide City's castle compare to mine?"
Zhu Wenhua said, "Much, much sturdier."
Zhuo Zhaoyan said, "That's why Shen Lang has to return to attacking the city. Even if Lord Yan Nanfei has sixty to seventy thousand men left, Shen Lang is still far from being a match for them. How many men did he bring back this time? How many can he use to attack the city? Ten to twenty thousand at most. Ten to twenty thousand against sixty to seventy thousand. Lord Yan Nanfei has such a sturdy castle, do you think he's that useless? I've seen the Iron Blood Army of the Yinyuan Association with my own eyes. They're far stronger than Shen Lang's Nirvana Army. There's also Stupa Mountain's parasite arrows. I'm sure that if Shen Lang's army dares to approach the castle, they're destined to be wiped out. "
Zhu Wenhua couldn't help but nod after hearing this.
Zhuo Zhaoyan said, "You're running away now? That would be the end of your career. My Zhuo family has lost everything. Now that we've finally obtained this castle and this land, do you want me to give up everything and run away now? Absolutely not! If you want to run, run, but don't bring me along. Once you run, I'll send people to the capital to impeach you. "
Zhu Wenhua quickly shook his head. "How can I run away? I have no such intentions, no such intentions! "
… …
After Zhu Wenhua left, Zhuo Zhaoyan fell into silence. She climbed to the highest point of the castle and looked down anxiously. She wanted to see the situation at Raging Tide City, but it was a thousand miles away. How could she see it?
Next, she greedily looked down at the entire Anting Count House, which was the former Marquis Xuanwu's residence.
More than ten years ago, because of Bitter Joy, her Zhuo family suffered a calamity. They lost their title and land, and those days were like hell.
Even when the Zhuo family was at its peak, it didn't have such a large land and castle. She'd been the owner of this castle for the past two years. Was she going to lose it?
No, absolutely not!
This was once the century-old foundation of the Kim family, and now it belonged to her, Zhuo Zhaoyan. No one could take it away.
But what if Raging Tide City was defeated? Shen Lang's army was determined to take back this castle. Could her Zhuo family resist Shen Lang? That would be a pipe dream.
"This castle is mine. I can't let it fall into that bitch Jin Mulan's hands again. It wasn't easy for her to fall, so she can't rise again. " Zhuo Zhaoyan muttered venomously to herself, then gritted her teeth. "If I can't have it, no one can."
She returned to the castle and shouted, "Tell Mister Xu to see me."
A moment later, a sage-like man appeared in front of her. It was a Daoist.
He was an alchemist and one of Zhuo Zhaoyan's confidants. He'd given her a formula, a gunpowder formula.
In the State of Yue, Shen Lang had used gunpowder several times, especially when he attacked the Zhong family. The gunpowder had been half-revealed, but no one knew its formula. Many alchemists had tried, but to no avail.
This Daoist Xu had successfully concocted the black gunpowder and offered it to Zhuo Zhaoyan, gaining her trust.
"How much gunpowder do we have now?" Zhuo Zhaoyan asked.
"Saltpeter is too hard to come by. We scavenge from the latrines. It took us two years to gather 150,000 catties of gunpowder."
150,000 catties?! This number sounded like a huge number.
"Can we destroy Shen Lang's army with this amount of gunpowder? Can we defend this castle? "Zhuo Zhaoyan asked.
"It'll be very difficult. If Raging Tide can't be defended, we won't be able to even if we have 150,000 catties of gunpowder."
Zhuo Zhaoyan's gaze turned frosty. "Then is this one hundred and fifty thousand catties of gunpowder enough to blow up the entire manor?"
Daoist Xu trembled in disbelief. "All of it?"
Zhuo Zhaoyan nodded. "Yes, all of it."
Daoist Xu said, "It's rather difficult to blow up the entire manor because it's too big. But it's possible to blow up most of the main buildings. "
Zhuo Zhaoyan asked, "How much fish oil do we have?"
"About 80,000 catties of fish oil and 130,000 catties of tung oil."
Zhuo Zhaoyan asked, "Will we be able to completely destroy the Xuanwu Manor with all of this?"
Daoist Xu said, "That's about it."
Zhuo Zhaoyan asked, "If Shen Lang's army enters this castle, will they be blown up as well?"
Daoist Xu said, "Yes!"
Zhuo Zhaoyan said, "Then go make preparations. Bury 150,000 catties of gunpowder, 80,000 catties of fish oil, and 130,000 catties of tung oil in shallow places. As long as I give the order, the entire Xuanwu Manor will be flattened, and everyone there will be torn to shreds. "
Daoist Xu said, "Yes!"
Then, he left to handle the matter.
Zhuo Zhaoyan gritted her teeth once more. "What I can't have, no one else can. Jin Mulan, I won't let you have this manor anymore. I'd rather destroy it completely than let the Kim clan take it back. "
… … …
Chou Hou knelt before Shen Lang and kowtowed. "Bandit Chou Hou greets Your Majesty Shen Lang. Long live, long live, long live!"
Shen Lang looked at this person, completely speechless. Many of his enemies' corpses had rotted away, but only this person was still alive.
Raging Tide City had changed masters three times already, but Chou Hou was still in control of Skywind Island.
Shen Lang said, "You once sided with the State of Wu to attack my Kim family. Then, you sided with the State of Yue and participated in the naval encirclement against me. Even though I didn't see your fleet, you did participate. "
There were simply too many fleets surrounding Shen Lang at the time, hundreds of thousands of them. Chou Hou's ship of a few thousand was inconspicuous.
Chou Hou kowtowed. "This lowly one is guilty, and I cannot be punished."
Shen Lang said, "Do you kneel and surrender every time you meet someone stronger than you? Protect your family first? "
"Yes!" Chou Hou said.
Shen Lang said, "In the future, when the Great Yan Empire invades, or Sky-sea Pavilion or Stupa Mountain invades, will you betray me and surrender to them?"
Chou Hou knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, "No."
Shen Lang said, "Oh? Why? Are you only loyal to me? "
Chou Hou shook his head and said, "No, because … because I am tired."
Shen Lang couldn't help but be stunned.
When Chou Hou raised his head again, he said, "Your Majesty, you know that I like both men and women. For a long time, I liked men. Then, I met a woman who was like a man. Then, I got married and had children. "
Shen Lang said, "A person changes completely after having a family. This reason is very good, but I don't believe it. "
Chou Hou said, "Your Majesty, I am really tired. I used to have great ambitions. I surrendered to Crown Prince Ning Yi, then to the State of Wu, then to Ning Shao, and finally to the Yin Yuan Association. I also wanted to bring honor to my ancestors and be made a marquis. But gradually, I realized that I was powerless. I … I, Chou Hou, am just an insignificant person. I will always be a chess piece manipulated by others. The reason why I can stay in this position is not because I am too powerful, but to a certain extent, I am too … incompetent. "
Shen Lang was stunned. Chou Hou's understanding was very profound.
"It is because of my incompetence that people can rest assured." Chou Hou said, "The world is changing too much, but I follow the trend. I surrender to one person today and another tomorrow. It seems like I am a slave with three surnames. Of course, this is the truth. But basically, I am in a precarious situation every day. I am really tired. I am an incompetent person. Before this, I couldn't even get off the ship even if I wanted to. Now that Your Majesty is here, and your fleet is very powerful, I can't defeat it. I am just courting death. I don't know if you will lose in the future. I don't even dare to think that you will win because the Great Yan Empire is too powerful.
"But at least at this moment, I want to surrender. I want to let go. I don't want Tianfeng City anymore, nor do I want the ten thousand fleets. I didn't destroy any of the large shipyards on the island, so I can hand them over to you. I've made a lot of money over the years, enough for my family to live a luxurious life. "
"So, I want to hand over Tianfeng City, my fleet, and the shipyards. I just want to keep my gold coins, about 390,000 gold coins. Can you fulfill my wish? Your Majesty Shen Lang! "
Chou Hou knelt on the ground and looked at Shen Lang with sincere eyes.
Shen Lang asked, "Then where do you want to go?"
Chou Hou was silent for a long time before he said, "I, I don't know."
He really didn't know. The world was so big, there was no place for him to go. This was because the entire eastern world belonged to the Great Yan Empire. If he surrendered to Shen Lang, he would become an enemy of the Great Yan Empire. No matter where he went, he would be wanted.
To the countries in the western regions? However, it was said that Zhu Hongxue's Blood Soul Army had massacred more than a dozen countries in the western regions. Perhaps, those countries would become vassals of the Great Yan Empire soon.
To the western world? That would require him to cross tens of thousands of miles of ocean. Chou Hou didn't have the courage to do that.
"Why don't I, I stay in Furious Tide City for now?" Chou Hou asked.
Shen Lang said, "Sure!"
At this point, Shen Lang had completely taken over Tianfeng Island, and Chou Hou's fleet of 10,000 had completely surrendered.
However, Shen Lang didn't care about the fleet. It needed to be greatly reduced, broken up, and re-trained before being incorporated into his fleet.
The key was that the few large shipyards with more than 9,000 shipwrights had fallen into Shen Lang's hands.
Just because of this, Shen Lang couldn't kill Chou Hou. He could even write off all their previous grievances.
In fact, Chou Hou and Shen Lang actually didn't have any enmity. Shen Lang's petty enemies didn't even have this person's name in his account book.
If Chou Hou wanted to disgust Shen Lang, it was very simple. He could directly burn down the shipyards and take away the thousands of shipwrights. Or he could kill them all. That would be a huge loss.
If Shen Lang wanted to build a shipyard from scratch, it would take at least a year or two. Chou Hou's surrender saved him a lot of manpower, material, and financial resources.
At the same time that Zhang Chunhua took over Tianfeng Island, Marquis Jin Zhuo led another fleet of Skeleton Party to attack Jinshan Island.
The importance of this island wasn't any less than Tianfeng Island, because there was a huge iron mine here. Not only the iron mine, there were also many other minerals. Without Jinshan Island, Shen Lang's great undertaking couldn't be discussed.
Whether it was the new warships, the new cannons, or even the steam engines, they all required an astronomical amount of steel.
This time, the most people that Shen Lang brought from the Western world were blacksmiths. There were more than four to five thousand of them.
Because Jinshan Island was so important, Yan Nanfei and Tang Yun stationed five thousand troops there. Moreover, this group of people didn't surrender.
So … they were all killed.
After four hours of intense battle, the garrison of Jinshan Island was completely annihilated. Marquis Jin Zhuo had once again taken back the iron mine island.
When he led his army into the mine and the smelting workshop, they didn't encounter any resistance.
There were twenty thousand miners and five to six thousand blacksmiths on Jinshan Island. These people had been here for a long time. They used to serve the Tang family, and then the Kim family.
When they saw Marquis Jin Zhuo, they were slightly stunned at first. Then, they knelt neatly and expressed their loyalty to their new master.
At the very least, among the few masters they had served, Jin Zhuo was the best. When he ruled Jinshan Island, he gave them the highest wages and the most food to eat. Moreover, he made good arrangements for the families of these blacksmiths.
Marquis Jin Zhuo looked at the miners and blacksmiths kneeling on the ground. His heart was filled with emotions.
Jinshan Island has once again fallen into the hands of the Kim family.
Of course, he was more emotional about the changes in the outside world. It was as if these miners and blacksmiths had nothing to do with them. Even with a different master, they still worked every day and struggled to survive. Yet, these people were the ones who produced everything.
Immediately, Marquis Jin Zhuo bowed to the tens of thousands of people present.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone!"
… …
Inside Anting's Count House (formerly Marquis Xuanwu's residence).
Zhuo Zhaoyan was in complete despair. Before this, he still had high hopes for the battle of Raging Tidewater because Yan Nanfei's army was powerful enough to defeat Shen Lang.
However, the latest news proved that Yan Nanfei had lost. Shen Lang had already taken back Raging Tidewater.
Bad news came one after another. First, Shen Lang's fleet appeared in Skywind Island's waters. What did this prove?
Shen Lang's fleet would only go to Skywind Island after the battle of Raging Tidewater.
Then, Shen Lang's fleet appeared in Jinshan Island's waters.
Finally, a few spies hidden among the Leizhou immigrants reported that Yan Nanfei's army had been completely wiped out. Yan Nanfei had been castrated and executed by a thousand cuts. There was no more room for imagination.
Zhuo Zhaoyan was in pain for a long time. She had no idea why things had turned out this way. Yan Nanfei's army was clearly so powerful. Why had they lost so badly?
Why was Shen Lang's life so tenacious? Why wasn't he dead yet? Was the king really going to return?
But there was no time to be in pain. She had to make a decision immediately.
Leave, leave immediately! She had to leave Xuanwu with the entire Zhuo family. But should they go to the State of Yue's imperial city or Sky-sea Pavilion?
Sky-sea Pavilion was the safest, but Zhuo Zhaoyan could take refuge there alone. She didn't have the authority to take refuge with her entire family. Besides, the State of Yue's imperial city might not necessarily be unsafe. Shen Lang had already left Raging Tidewater and was about to land. News of his return could no longer be hidden. Next, Sky-sea Pavilion had to think of a way to protect the State of Yue's imperial city.
The next battle of the Raging Tide City Battle would not be in Black Tortoise City, nor would it be in Nujiang County, but the capital.
Shen Lang valued relationships. He would definitely save Ning Yuanxian, Ning Zheng, Bian Xiao, Zhang Chong, Ning Gang, and the others.
To Shen Lang, as long as he conquered Tianyue City, he could help Ning Zheng regain his position and take over the State of Yue.
However, the Empire of Yan, Sky-sea Pavilion, and even Stupa Mountain would never let Shen Lang have his way.
Shen Lang's army would not exceed forty to fifty thousand men. It was basically impossible for them to take over Tianyue City. The Sky-sea Pavilion was too powerful. Zhu Hongxue's ten to twenty thousand Blood Soul Army had already swept through the millions of allied forces of the Western Regions.
Therefore, Tianyue City was safe.
Zhuo Zhaoyan immediately decided to escape to Tianyue City with her people. At worst, she would become Ning Yi's concubine.
She found her younger brother Zhuo Yixin, also known as Anting Bo.
"Get ready. We'll leave immediately for Tianyue City."
Zhuo Yixin was stunned. "Why? It wasn't easy for us to get such a big castle and a whole fief. Are we just going to give it up and go back to the capital to live under someone else's fence? "
Zhuo Zhaoyan said coldly, "Because Shen Lang will be here soon. Any later and we won't even be able to escape. Remember not to alarm too many people. Just take the Zhuo family's hundred men and leave. "
Zhuo Yixin trembled. "Furious Tide City lost?"
Zhuo Zhaoyan said, "Yan Nanfei was killed by a thousand cuts. Do you think Shen Lang will let you go?"
Anting Bo and Zhuo Yixin immediately dashed out, ready to escape!
… …
They were about to escape. The big castle they had lived in for two years was going to be gone. Two years of peaceful and rich life was coming to an end. Goddamned Shen Lang.
Zhuo Zhaoyan walked reluctantly in Xuanwu's Marquis Residence, as if she wanted to see every corner and remember every corner.
This place used to belong to her.
Soon, the Zhuo family's hundred men were ready to escape. Moreover, it was the middle of the night. It was the best time to escape without a sound.
She once again found Daoist Xu and asked, "Is everything ready?"
Daoist Xu said, "Everything is ready. One hundred and fifty thousand catties of gunpowder, eighty thousand catties of fish oil, and one hundred and thirty thousand catties of tung oil have been buried underground. As long as they are detonated, the entire Black Tortoise Marquis Manor will be razed to the ground. If Shen Lang's troops enter, I guarantee they'll all die. "
Zhuo Zhaoyan said, "Have you found the people who ignited the gunpowder? Are they reliable? "
Daoist Xu said, "There are a dozen of them, all very reliable. Their parents and families are in our hands. If they don't obey, their entire family will die. As long as the order is given, they will ignite the gunpowder. Moreover, the gunpowder is connected. As long as one person ignites it, it'll explode. "
Zhuo Zhaoyan nodded. "Alright, you've done well. Stay here for a while. Once it's detonated, run as fast as you can to meet up with me at Skyleap City. You'll be rewarded with riches and splendor. "
Daoist Xu bowed. "Thank you, mistress. Actually … I don't want riches and splendor."
He then looked at Zhuo Zhaoyan with a fiery gaze.
Zhuo Zhaoyan said, "I know what you're thinking. As long as you do this well, I'll make sure you get what you want."
Zhuo Yixin's voice came from outside.
"Sister, we're ready."
Zhuo Zhaoyan walked out and saw that over a hundred people were already mounted on their horses. Each person had two horses, some even three.
It was impossible not to startle people at this point, but the two to three thousand people in the Count House still didn't react.
"Everyone's been drugged and unconscious," Zhuo Yixin said.
He was also a vicious and merciless person.
Zhuo Zhaoyan said, "Let's go!"
Following her order, more than a hundred people of the Zhuo Clan silently left the Black Tortoise Marquis' Mansion and escaped without a trace.
This woman was truly decisive. She'd fled as soon as she heard the news of the Raging Tidewater's defeat.
But at this time, a few warriors rushed in, trembling. "Miss, great news, great news!"
Zhuo Zhaoyan froze. What good news could there be at this time?
The warrior said, "We found that old woman, we found her. Do you know where she is? For the past two years, she's been hiding in a secret basement. There's no food or water there, and she's never left. That's the Kim family's secret lair. "
Zhuo Zhaoyan was shocked, then overjoyed. Shen Lang's mother had been found? She'd actually been found?
It was true that Shen Lang's adoptive mother did not follow Jin Mulan out to sea at that time. According to Xue Yin's plan, she wanted the Substitute Mirror to die a violent death in front of everyone. In order to ensure that it was realistic, she wanted the entire Jin family to be buried with it. Shen Lang had been hiding in a secret basement, waiting for the storm to pass. Shen Lang's adoptive mother was responsible for injecting him with drugs every day and taking care of him.
Of course, no one could be sure if Shen Lang's adoptive mother had gone out with him. But when Jin Mulan's ship was about to enter the Devil's Triangle, all his relatives had bid farewell to him, but Shen Lang's adoptive mother was nowhere to be seen.
Princess Ning Han discovered this and casually issued an order to search for traces of Shen Lang's adoptive mother throughout Nujiang Commandery. Ning Han's order was even more important than an imperial edict to countless people. Governor Tang Yun of Nujiang Commandery, City Lord of Xuanwu, Zhu Wenhua, and the Zhuo family were all doing their best to search for Shen Lang's adoptive mother.
After two whole years, they hadn't found anything. Who would've thought they'd find her today?
However, perhaps this was also very normal, because the news of Shen Lang's return had already spread like wildfire. Perhaps she had overheard it when someone walked on the surface and mentioned it. Thus, she finally could not help but come out of the secret underground room.
"Are you sure it's her?" Zhuo Zhaoyan trembled in ecstasy.
"It's definitely her," the warrior said. "She used to be a farmer's wife in Maple Leaf Village. Many people have seen her, so I'm sure it's not fake. And you don't know that there's everything in that secret basement, even a large mirror. If it wasn't Shen Lang's adoptive mother, who would stay there for two years? "
Zhuo Zhaoyan waved her hand. "Bring her up."
A moment later, an old woman with half her hair was brought up, along with two villagers from Maple Leaf Village.
"Are you sure this is Shen Lang's adoptive mother?" Zhuo Zhaoyan asked.
"Yes, it's her," the villager said. "But she looks a lot older."
Zhuo Zhaoyan nodded. It was normal to be old. Who wouldn't grow old when they were mentally and physically exhausted?
"Take your reward!" Zhuo Zhaoyan said.
The two villagers knelt down joyfully and kowtowed. "Thank you, Miss, thank you."
Zhuo Zhaoyan nodded, and the two warriors slashed down to silence the two villagers.
"Old Madam, please come with us." Zhuo Zhaoyan sneered. "The heavens are still looking out for me. Before I left, they actually let me capture Shen Lang's adoptive mother. You'll be my hostage from now on. What a great contribution I've made. You can only hope that your son is filial, or you'll be tortured to the point where you'll beg for death. Every time Shen Lang succeeds, he'll inflict more torture on you. I hope your body can take it. "
"Men, tie her up and gag her mouth. Don't let her commit suicide. She's a priceless hostage."
Several warriors immediately tied up Shen Lang's adoptive mother and stuffed a piece of numbness into her mouth.
"Let's go!"
At Zhuo Zhaoyan's command, the Zhuo family continued on their way to Skymoon City.
… … …
Daybreak!
Zhuo Zhaoyan had already led her clan several dozen kilometers away. In the end, she couldn't resist ascending the highest peak. From there, she could see the Xuanwu Manor.
This was a show she'd personally directed. How could she not watch it?
The entire Xuanwu Manor had been completely destroyed and flattened. She'd probably be shocked to the core.
At the top of the mountain, Zhuo Zhaoyan gazed at the Xuanwu Manor.
Shen Lang's movements were really fast ah. She could already see the densely packed army entering the Black Tortoise Marquis Mansion.
Zhuo Zhaoyan couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. Fortunately, she'd escaped quickly, or she'd already be a prisoner.
"Bring her here!" Zhuo Zhaoyan ordered.
Shen Lang's adoptive mother was immediately brought over.
Zhuo Zhaoyan grabbed her by the hair and said coldly, "Old bitch, take a good look. That's your son's army. That's your in-laws' Marquis Xuanwu Manor. It'll be completely destroyed soon.
"Open your eyes wide and watch as the Black Tortoise Marquis Manor is razed to the ground, watch as your son's army is crushed to pieces!"
"Old bitch, the Great Yan Empire and Sky-sea Pavilion won't let your son off. He's destined to die a horrible death. If I can't have it, no one else can. I'd rather destroy it! "
Zhuo Zhaoyan held her breath and waited for the moment of the explosion.
Soon, very soon.
Because Shen Lang's army had already entered the Black Tortoise Marquis Manor.
Whoosh …
Not far from the Marquis Xuanwu Manor, a firework suddenly flew into the sky. This was the signal to detonate hundreds of thousands of kilograms of gunpowder, fish oil, and tung oil under the Marquis Xuanwu Manor.
It's coming, it's coming!
Zhuo Zhaoyan trembled with excitement. The show she'd directed was about to begin.
Destroy the Marquis Xuanwu Manor. Be crushed, bitch's army.
Weep, Shen Lang! I, Zhuo Zhaoyan, will not let you have anything!
Boom, boom, boom, boom …
There was a violent explosion, and heaven and earth shook.
However, it wasn't the Marquis Xuanwu Manor, but … the Zhuo Clan's convoy.
In the next second, Shen Lang's adoptive mother suddenly smiled mysteriously. She tore off the dry skin on her face, revealing a beautiful face. She wasn't Shen Lang's adoptive mother, but Goddess Xue Yin.
Then, a figure flew over. To be precise, there were two figures, with Chou Yao 'er carrying Shen Lang.
Soon, Shen Lang reached the top of the mountain. Looking at Zhuo Zhaoyan, he said, "Tsk tsk tsk, Miss Zhuo Zhaoyan, how have you been?
"Come, come, come. Open your eyes wide and take a good look at how I annihilate your Zhuo Clan."
"Come? Don't tremble, don't resist, and don't piss your pants.
"At this moment, the Zhuo Clan is completely extinct. Watch carefully!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
At the foot of the mountain, a group of warriors raised their swords and chopped off the heads of the Zhuo Clan's members.
"That's your brother, Zhuo Yixin, Count Anting, right? Then you can't just behead them so easily. Tear them apart, tear them apart! "
