Yiyang Prefecture, Dragon Sealing Pass.
On the high platform, the civil and military officials left to carry out their orders.
In the boundless darkness of the night, Zhuang Gaoxian rose into the air, his body glowing with a clear light, his eyes like that of a deity.
He stood high in the sky, overlooking the earth.
His voice was so loud that it shook the entire battlefield.
"Han Yin! Coincidentally, it was the auspicious time of the festival. The three armies engaged in battle, and the heavens and earth resonated. You will be the Yong Lord, and I will be the Zhuangjun. Why not fight in the blue dome of heaven and beat the drum of the three armies! I'm here to celebrate the Spring Festival! "
The Zhuang Nation's army cheered in unison, "Han Yin! Come and die! "
His voice reverberated through the cold night.
Above the Dragon Sealing Mountain Pass, a tall and sturdy figure stood on a golden dragon's shadow. The dragon's roar shook the heavens, looking mighty and imposing.
"The traitor Zhuang Chengqian of the past wept blood and begged for mercy in the Qichang Mountain Range. Only then did I spare his worthless life. Today is New Year's Eve, and Gao Xian has come to congratulate us. We are overjoyed! "
Han Yin's voice was deep and dignified, rumbling like thunder. "I will accept your kindness! I will take your head! "
On the Dragon Sealing Mountain Pass, the morale of the soldiers rose and they shouted in unison, "Kill!"
Facing Zhuang Gaoxian's challenge, Han Yin did not hesitate.
He had experienced countless wars in his life and was very clear about the current situation. The state of Yong appeared to be stable, but in reality, it had reached a critical juncture of life and death.
The Zhuang Kingdom wasn't strong enough to annex the Yong Kingdom, and the Luo Kingdom was just a clown. However, the appearance of the Jing Kingdom's Chima Guards had a completely different significance. The Jing Kingdom was one of the most powerful countries in the world. The Yong Kingdom had been struck down in a contest with the Jing Kingdom. Later on, the Yong Kingdom no longer had the qualifications to contend with the Jing Kingdom. Regardless of whether they admitted it or not, the Yong Kingdom's soldiers and civilians found it difficult to shake off their fear of the Jing Kingdom.
That was why he had Minister of State Qi Maoxian personally oversee Jingan prefecture, because that place was the source of all the instability in the country.
But this was not enough.
It wasn't that the Yong Kingdom didn't have the desire to make progress over the years, but it had always been besieged and intercepted by the Kingdom of Jing, suppressing it to the point that it was difficult for it to make a comeback. Before the New Year, he had instructed the monarch, Han Xu, to take the lead in initiating the Four-Party Talks. Together with the Zhuang Nation and the Luo Nation, they had set a non-military agreement in Buyao City. This was to stabilize the situation in the southwest of the country. While focusing their energy on guarding against the Jing Nation, they would expand to the northwest.
The so-called agreement to not enlist was, of course, only a temporary agreement. There was no such thing as an alliance that could truly stop a war. The only thing that could block an army was an army.
However, he never expected that the one who tore apart the agreement would not be him, but Zhuang Gaoxian.
Unexpectedly, it was Zhuang and Luo who had joined hands to challenge the State of Yong!
At such a time, he had to calm the hearts of the people in order to control the situation.
They had to display their strength in an undisguised manner so that those restless forces could restrain their greed and boost the morale of their own soldiers.
After all, at this moment, the Dragon Sealing Pass was surrounded, the Lan River Underwater Palace was in danger, and the Jing Country's Crimson Horse Guards were knocking on the pass … everyone was in a state of panic.
This was also the reason why he had rushed to the Dragon Sealing Mountain Pass at the first possible moment to stop the enemy.
If that wasn't the case, it was hard to say whether the powerful nobles in the country wouldn't have other thoughts.
It was precisely because of this that he couldn't hesitate in the slightest when facing Zhuang Gaoxian's challenge.
On the contrary, he needed to be extremely confident and flamboyant. He wanted to show off his invincible aura.
It wasn't that they didn't need to be cautious, but the enemy was already at their doorstep, and there was no room for caution!
Of course, he had absolute confidence in dealing with Zhuang Gaoxian.
Even if he knew that Zhuang Gaoxian wanted to delay him, he would gladly go forward.
Zhuang Gaoxian had just reached True Insight, while he had been a Perfected Person for hundreds of years. There was no reason for him to lose. At most, Zhuang Gaoxian could restrain him and use the advantage of the army to break into the city. However, the State of Yong had one duke, eight marquises, and nine deities! How many did the State of Zhuang have?
They had an absolute advantage in terms of top-notch combat strength, which was enough to help the State of Yong defend the Dragon Sealing Mountain Pass. Once the various armies of the country surrounded them, they would immediately stop the three hundred thousand troops of the State of Yong.
Furthermore, could Zhuang Gaoxian really restrain him?
Han Yin didn't believe it!
Zhuang Gaoxian stepped on the illusory image of a golden dragon as he arrived.
Zhuang Gaoxian stood in the air, his gaze cold as he said, "You despicable person who usurped the State of Yong dares to call yourself Emperor?"
Zhuang Gaoxian's ancestor, Zhuang Chengqian, had knelt down and begged for mercy. If Zhuang Chengqian had lost, Han Yin wouldn't have let him off no matter how much he begged. It was because he had firmly defended the Qichang Mountain Range in front of Han Yin that the State of Zhuang had its foundation.
However, Han Yin was relying on his long life and high seniority to make up stories of the past. No one could refute him. After all, Zhuang Chengqian had been buried for many years. This was a good way to attack the morale of the Zhuang army.
How could Zhuang Gaoxian show weakness?
Thus, he immediately replied, "Back then, Yong Ming's emperor, Han Zhou, was truly a mighty ruler! He was wise and wise in the Eastern Palace and had a successor. Who would have thought that in one night, Han Zhou would die and the Eastern Palace would be harmed. The State of Yong's hegemony would come to nothing and it would weaken again. Han Yin, do you really think that no one remembers what happened back then? "
"You!" He pointed at Han Yin. "You colluded with the State of Jing to assassinate Han Zhou. You murdered the Crown Prince and instigated the Three Princes to fight for the throne. When the country was in turmoil, you jumped out to fight for power, pretending to be benevolent. On one hand, you persuaded the Three Imperial Nephews to stop fighting. On the other hand, you suddenly sent out troops and defeated them one by one, personally killing them! You are truly a shameless man, a scum of society! "
"Ignorant brat!" Han Yin stepped on the dragon and slapped down with a domineering aura. "Back then, your mother was still in your mother's womb. What kind of insanity did you have? How dare you speak of the past! "
The so-called Insight Realm was precious in the word "truth".
The Immortal Ascension Realm was known as the Immortal Realm in ancient times. It was a false Immortal Realm where one's physical body did not deteriorate before death. The Immortal Realm of Immortal Realm was the Insight Realm.
Han Yin's slap condensed a huge palm print in the air. It grew bigger and bigger from bottom to top, as if it was going to overturn the sky.
The entire night sky was shaken. The boundless dark clouds were scattered by the slap, revealing the starry night sky and boundless moonlight.
Zhuang Gaoxian, who was in front of the night sky, did not move.
The slap directly hit him, but it had already "passed" him. It did not affect him at all. The clouds behind him were dispersed, and the starlight and moonlight shone clearly behind him.
His sonorous voice did not stop. "Han Yin! None of your elder brother's dozens of princes and princesses survived. Why? "
"Poor Han Zhou. He was a mighty ruler who personally pushed Yong to the peak and looked down on the Western Region. In the end, he ended up without any descendants, all because of a despicable and shameless trash of a younger brother like you!"
"You killed your elder brother and nephew to obtain the throne. Since you took power, what achievements have you made that are worthy of praise? Did you expand Yong's territory? Did you repel Jing back then, or did you strike a deal with Jing, using the death of Emperor Yong Ming and a huge amount of wealth to buy Jing's retreat? Do you think no one in the world knows? "
Zhuang Gaoxian cupped his hands towards the horizon. "Our dynasty's Emperor Taizu sensed your wild ambition. He received Emperor Yong Ming's dying order and fought a bloody battle in the Qichang Mountain Range to protect Emperor Yong Ming's bloodline. Although he did not succeed, his sincerity can be seen! You shameless villain, incompetent scoundrel, how dare you tarnish his reputation? "
