Although Xia Wan 'an was angry, she couldn't stop Xia Qingshan's stupid behavior. She could protect the people of this village from being exploited by the officials, but it was useless for the entire Xia Dynasty.
Her top priority now was to improve her strength. She didn't have time to do anything else.
In the eyes of many, the fall of the Xia Dynasty was a foregone conclusion. It was only a matter of time. Only Xia Wan 'an knew that the Xia Dynasty still had its last hope, and that was her. As long as she grasped the supreme power, not to mention that the fall of the Xia Dynasty was inevitable, it would not be a problem even if she became the enemy of the whole world. The essence of the world was always the strong being respected.
Taking one last look at the civilians begging in front of the officials, Xia Wan 'an didn't say anything and continued on her cultivation journey.
[Sign-in at Mount Mang successful. Player is rewarded with 50 years of cultivation.]
[Sign-in at Crater successful. Player is rewarded with a Meteor Sword.]
[Sign-in at White Water Lake successful. Player is rewarded with 12 years of cultivation.]
[…]
At the end of the day, Xia Wan 'an's cultivation had increased by more than 700 years. This was the fastest day she had been cultivating since she received help from the owner of the Internet cafe. However, it was still far from enough. She still couldn't break the void like the mysterious immortal.
She had already regarded breaking the void as a standard to define her strength. Only by reaching that level could she be qualified to compete with the mysterious immortal.
…
As the saying goes, a defeated army is like a landslide. The Xia Dynasty was already no match for the four-nation alliance. In addition to Xia Qingshan's stupid actions, the Xia Dynasty's border defense line had completely fallen in less than seven days.
The million-strong army marched eastward, heading straight for the imperial capital. Along the way, they were invincible in attacking cities. None of the city guards were willing to risk their lives for the fatuous ruler. When the army arrived, they all surrendered their cities. This made the four-nation allied army even more invincible. In less than half a month, they had conquered more than half of the Xia Dynasty.
In Yingdu Prefecture, whether it was the emperor, the officials, or the people, everyone was in a panic. Xia Qingshan was desperate. He knew that no one could save the Xia Dynasty now. He was forced to send a letter of surrender to the four countries, hoping that they could save him the last dignity of the emperor and let him live the rest of his life in peace.
However, the four countries rejected Xia Qingshan's request to surrender, saying that he had committed a great crime and would not be allowed to live out the rest of his life in peace. On the day that Yingdu Commandery was breached, they would skin him alive and tear his tendons into pieces to comfort the soldiers and people who had sacrificed themselves in this war.
After receiving the replies from the four nations, Xia Qingshan was filled with grief and indignation. He understood that the four nations were deliberately trying to torture and humiliate him. For this reason, they were not even willing to accept his request to surrender. How intolerable was this!
Under the rage and sadness, Xia Qingshan's last bit of courage was ignited. He decided to personally lead the troops to defend Yingdu Prefecture and swear to live and die with the Great Xia Dynasty.
…
One month later, a million strong army gathered outside Yingdu Prefecture City. From afar, it was like a black cloud pressing down on the city. There was an endless sea of people.
Xia Qingshan wore his golden armor and was leading the troops on the city walls. However, he had never seen such a grand scene in his life. He was so frightened that his scalp went numb and his legs trembled.
"Xia Qingshan, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death. Quickly open the gates and accept your death!"
A general of the Zhou Dynasty roared loudly. His cultivation level was not low. His voice was like thunder, reverberating in all directions.
Hearing this, Xia Qingshan was so angry that his gums itched. If it was in the past, who would dare to speak to him like this?
However, he was no longer the same as before. He was destined to be defeated in today's battle. Even the consecrators of the royal family had abandoned him, unwilling to die with him.
"Guards of Yingdu Prefecture, listen up." The general of the Zhou Dynasty continued to roar, "Xia Qingshan is useless and useless. It is not worth it for you to risk your lives for such an idiot. Whoever can capture him and hand him over to you will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold!"
Xia Qingshan was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He was the emperor of a generation. It was bad enough that he was pointed at and scolded by the other party, but the other party actually wanted to kill him!
Just as he was about to open his mouth to rebuke, he suddenly felt something strange. The guards around him all looked at him, and there was something wrong with their gazes.
"What are you all trying to do?!"
Xia Qingshan glared at the guards, "I am the True Dragon, the Son of Heaven. Do you all dare to deceive the emperor?! Hurry up and guard the city gates. If the city lives, the people will live. If the city dies, the people will … "
"You are already at death's door. Why are you still putting on airs with us?" A guard suddenly sneered and walked in front of Xia Qingshan.
"How dare you! I will kill your entire family! "Xia Qingshan was so angry that he was trembling.
"Kill my entire family? Do you still think you are the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty? Even a dog is stronger than you now! "The guard said to the other guards without holding back.
"Brothers, this dog emperor single-handedly ruined the Great Xia Dynasty and now he wants us to die with him. Does he really think we are as stupid as him? We might as well use him to seek a way out for ourselves! "
"Good! I have long disliked this dog emperor. Take him down! "
"Xia Qingshan, you deserve to die. Apart from your identity as the emperor, which part of you is better than me?"
The defending generals were all tempted to rebel, surrounding Xia Qingshan in three layers.
Xia Qingshan did not expect the situation to turn out like this. He retreated in panic until he was at the edge of the city wall and had nowhere to retreat.
"This is treason and heresy! Stop!"
Xia Qingshan was addicted to pleasure during his reign and his cultivation had long been wasted. He was no match for the guards at all. They swarmed forward and pinned him down in the blink of an eye. They stripped him of his golden armor and tied him up.
"Traitors, you deserve to die!"
Xia Qingshan was furious. If he had known that he would be betrayed by his subordinates and be humiliated, he would rather commit suicide. That way, he could still preserve his last bit of dignity.
Smack!
A guard slapped him hard and tore off a piece of cloth to stuff in his mouth. He then turned around and showed Xia Qingshan to the army below the city.
"Xia Qingshan has been captured by us. We will open the gate and offer the city to you now!"
Countless soldiers were in an uproar when they saw that. They found it surprising and refreshing.
…
…
At this moment, an extremely luxurious carriage was parked in the center of the army.
The four emperors and the mysterious masked man sat cross-legged in the carriage and looked at Xia Qingshan who was tied up and held up for display.
"After being captured and humiliated by his subordinates, Xia Qingshan probably wants to die now. He only hates himself for not killing himself earlier," Emperor Zhou chuckled.
"After today, Xia Qingshan will become the most humiliated emperor in history. The Great Xia Dynasty will also disappear," Emperor Qin said.
As he said that, he paused and looked at the masked man. "Immortal, after the Great Xia Dynasty is destroyed, the opportunity to become an immortal that you promised us …"
"I will keep my word," the masked man said calmly.
The masked man said calmly. No one knew what kind of expression he had under the veil.
