"What exactly is a Shura?"
Under the starry sky, Lanyan City was exceptionally quiet. Not far from the city, the National Monument was even quieter. Countless warriors who had sacrificed their lives for the empire were buried under the huge stone tablets.
Lin Muyu was lying on his back under a stone tablet, his hands supporting the back of his head. He looked up at the starry sky and suddenly asked this question. After returning to Lanyan City, he would come here almost every day to accompany Chu Huaiyin, Qin Lei, Lei Hong, and the others in front of the tombstones. It was good to talk, otherwise, he would feel suffocated.
"Shura …"
Tang Xiaoxi was wearing a dark blue cloak. She sat on a tree trunk at the side, her legs swaying in the cold wind. She said, "Actually, I'm not too sure, but it sounds very powerful. Shura is a hunter in the dark, a natural hunter. It's recorded in the ancient books, but … it seems that no one has ever seen a Shura."
Lin Muyu pursed her lips and said, "I don't know how Xiao Yin is now. If only we could know which plane she is in, we could go find her and help her get through this."
Tang Xiaoxi smiled faintly. "Xiao Yin must have lost her memory now. She doesn't know you at all. If you interfere, she might beat you up. Oh right, if you want to know where Xiao Yin is, maybe you can ask for help from the God Realm. The Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor and Ziyao Fairy can help us."
"No, the Demon Emperor told me in my dream last night. He said that Ziyao has signed a Divine Pact with a Blazing Angel called Xi Yan from the Western Heaven Realm and can no longer help us. He didn't say anything else. He said that he was afraid of activating the Divine Pact and causing Ziyao to lose all her cultivation. In any case, he told us to be careful."
"I see …" Tang Xiaoxi pouted and said, "Then what should we do? Are we just going to wait like this? I wonder how Xiao Yin is doing now. She must have suffered a lot by herself. "
Lin Muyu smiled bitterly, "Xiao Yin has already tasted the bitterness and humiliation of the Three Realms in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. My chest hurts when I think of her suffering in some unknown place. Xiao Xi, my heart aches for her."
Tang Xiaoxi fell into silence for a few seconds before she muttered, "I also feel sorry for Xiao Yin. It's all my fault."
"If you want to blame someone, blame the Demon Tribe. If Yaoji of the Demon Tribe hadn't controlled your mind, Xiao Yin wouldn't have ended up like this." As she spoke, Lin Muyu clenched her fists and said, "Within a year, I'll definitely wipe out the Devil Race completely from the continent!"
Tang Xiaoxi was slightly surprised. "Mu, are you serious?"
"Yes."
Lin Muyu nodded, "We have to be decisive. Otherwise, leaving the Devil Race in the Tongtian Gorge will always be a big problem for us. The Demon Emperor told me to be careful. There must be other strong enemies. Before the strong enemies come, we must first wipe out the Devil Race and unify the entire continent. Xiao Yin, the Seven Seas Tang Sect has been rebuilt. What are your plans for the future? "
"The Seven Seas Tang Sect has Tang Zong. I've already imparted all of the Fire God's Seal to him. I believe that with Tang Zong's comprehension, he'll have great achievements in three to five years. The Tang Sect won't need me then. I think … I want to be with you and wait for Xiao Yin to return."
Lin Muyu suddenly smiled, "En, then stay by my side. I was worried that you said you'd stay in Seven Seas City. If that's the case, I'll miss you. I'll have to fly for a long time just to see you."
Tang Xiaoxi couldn't help but feel flustered. She smiled sweetly and said, "Really?"
Lin Muyu didn't look at her. She continued to look at the sky and said, "I'm not a plant. When I was in the Nether Spring Realm, I already thought that if I love someone, I should treat them with all my heart. I'm a person with the Sovereign Persona. Since I was lucky enough to awaken the Sovereign Persona, then I'm also lucky enough to have you and Xiao Yin."
"Aren't you afraid that Xiao Yin will be jealous?" Tang Xiaoxi asked carefully, afraid that his answer wouldn't satisfy her.
Lin Muyu took a different approach and said, "I'll thank the heavens if you're not jealous. I'm not worried about Xiao Yin."
"Ptui, what kind of person do you think I am?"
"I'm saying that because I didn't misjudge you."
"Hmph!"
In the distance, a group of Royal Guards dressed in the armor of the Royal Guards were waiting. They watched the young man lying on the Nation Guarding Monument that was revered by the world. If it was anyone else who dared to be so disrespectful, they would have been dragged out and beheaded. However, the person in front of them was the Qin Emperor, Lin Muyu. He was the person who turned the tide. Furthermore, he had such a close relationship with Chu Huaiying and Qin Lei when they were alive. Presumably, the two of the Four Heroes of Lanyan who had died for the country wouldn't blame him for anything.
…
Early in the morning, amidst the rumbling sounds of nooses, Shangyang City's north gate was opened. Countless commoners who were waiting to head out to farm or hunt filed out of the city. When it was close to noon, a group of Royal Guards appeared and sealed the city gate, preventing commoners from entering. There was no other reason for this. One of the Empire's Three Kings, Feng Jixing, was going to arrive very soon.
Outside the city, the flags of the Empire's Purple Yinghua Flower and Prince Xin were intertwined. The number of people Feng Jixing had brought with him was not a lot, but it was not a small number either. There were 500 light cavalry troops accompanying him, and their extravagance was far from that of some dukes and marquises. After all, Feng Jixing had stepped into the Divine Realm a long time ago, and a Forged Celestial Lattice had allowed his abilities to multiply. Now that he had obtained two Divine Weapons that were substandard divine weapons, it was clear that his abilities had improved by leaps and bounds. There was no need for him to worry about being assassinated.
A row of cavalry troops opened up a path at the front. They held onto wooden shields, and all of them wore solemn expressions.
After the two hundred cavalry troops entered the city, a big horse finally galloped into the city. It was Feng Jixing, who had been waiting for a very long time. He felt very vexed at having to rely on the nobility, but those officials said that this was a rule passed down from their ancestors and that they could not go against it. Therefore, he could only put up with all of this. Following behind the cavalry troops, Feng Jixing wore a set of light gray armor and golden battle robes. Having stepped into the Divine Realm, he appeared even more handsome and handsome, causing the commoners in the city to be stunned.
"Then, should we believe in Prince Feng Jixing?"
"He's so handsome …"
"It's no wonder that such a character can eliminate the traitors of Peace Country!"
"I wonder when Prince Xin will be choosing his concubine. I'm so excited …"
"…"
…
With Feng Jixing's ability, he was naturally able to hear the commoners' whispers. However, he pretended that he did not hear them. His left hand held onto the reins while his right hand held onto the hilt of the Crimson Phoenix Sword. He wore a relaxed smile on his face as he kept on greeting the commoners on both sides of the road.
Feng Jixing was only tempted by the matter of choosing his concubine, but he would definitely not act on it. He knew why he had come to Shangyang City this time around.
Xiang Yu was the Southern Country Duke, a feudal lord. Therefore, Feng Jixing would definitely make a trip to the south once a month to meet with Xiang Yu. He would have a drink or two with him and chat about some trivial matters regarding the Empire and Lanyan City, using this to probe Xiang Yu's heart. Feng Jixing knew that if Xiang Yu were to create trouble in the south, the Empire would probably sink into another internal strife.
Lin Muyu did not have the time to deal with such public relations. Therefore, Feng Jixing could only trouble Prince Xin.
In the city, a group of guards went up to welcome them. Right in front was a general who wore two golden general stars. After getting off his horse, he knelt by the roadside and said respectfully, "I'm Shangyang City's Military Superintendent Commander, Liu Hao. I'm a Country Protector General and have been sent by the Southern Country Duke to escort Prince Xin to the Mingshan Army's headquarters."
"Mmm, General Liu Hao, it's been hard on you. Get up and lead the way."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Liu Hao got on his horse and gave the order, "Turn the horses around and invite Prince Xin to the central camp."
The cavalry was about to move forward when a commotion suddenly rang out. Feng Jixing quickly looked over and asked, "What's going on?"
A Captaincy said, "I don't know. It seems that someone wants to petition."
"Petition?" Feng Jixing was stunned. The word 'petition' had a long history. It was a way for commoners to express their wishes to the upper echelons. There were probably people who knew that today was the day Prince Xin would come to Shangyang City. Therefore, there were people who wanted to petition.
Since he was not in a hurry to head to the central camp, Feng Jixing waved his hand and said, "Let whoever wants to petition in."
"Yes."
Very soon, an elderly man came to the front of the cavalry under the protection of two guards. He quickly knelt down and said, "Your Highness, my name is Zhou Yang. I make a living selling medicine in the north of Shangyang City. A few days ago, a group of people came and smashed up my medicine shop, snatching away many expensive medicinal herbs and causing me to go bankrupt. I went to the magistrate's office to lodge a complaint, but no one paid any attention to it. Your Highness, please seek justice for me!"
Feng Jixing turned around and dismounted from his horse. He helped the old man up and said, "Elder, please get up. Tell me, who was the one who smashed and robbed your medicine shop? I'll help you get justice."
"It's … it's … it's someone from the Tang Clan. It's Tang Wei's distant cousin, someone called Tang Wu!"
"Tang Wu?"
Feng Jixing frowned and said, "Elder, please return home first. I'll send someone to investigate this matter. Don't worry, we'll definitely seek justice for you."
"Thank you, Your Highness …"
The elderly man turned to leave. However, he had only taken a few steps when his body suddenly trembled and he fell down in astonishment. Fresh blood had soaked through his clothes from his chest, and an arrow could be faintly seen piercing through his head. He had been shot dead!
"Who is it?!"
Feng Jixing was enraged. He raised his hand and pulled out the Crimson Phoenix, bellowing, "Who dares to kill the innocent before me?!"
The crowd on both sides panicked. A few burly men dashed out while carrying black cloth in their hands. They were also holding onto crystals that were flashing with electricity. Those were … the energy crystals used to detonate the Magic Crystal Cannons?!
Feng Jixing had participated in the development of the Magic Crystal Cannons and naturally knew about these. However, how was he to leave now? There were at least 10,000 people in the entire Shangyang City's north square. If he were to leave, these people would all be sending themselves to their deaths!
"This bunch of b * stards …" Feng Jixing mumbled.
…
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Purple light soared into the sky. The explosive prowess of the magic crystals was no small matter, and the square seemed to have been vaporized in an instant. The people in the core zone had no time to escape, and their bodies were instantly vaporized. A mushroom cloud soared into the sky, and the prowess of the explosion swept out in all directions, turning the houses and city walls into dust.
"Buzz …"
A shock wave continued to impact into the city.
In the core zone, Feng Jixing stood in the deep pit, surrounded by a solid wind shield. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked into the distance and bellowed furiously, "B * stard! I'm going to kill you!"
…
In a corner several hundred meters away, a middle-aged guard silently looked into the distance and mumbled, "Princess Wei, forgive me for my incompetence … If I can't kill Feng Jixing, I won't be able to repay you. I can only die."
He slowly drew out his dagger.
"Pa pa pa …"
A bolt of lightning flashed before him. It was Feng Jixing. He had already heard Tang Xian's prayer through his psyche power.
"You …" Tang Xian took a few steps back.
Feng Jixing gritted his teeth and looked at him. "Is it Tang Wei?"
"I …" Tang Xian didn't say anything. Feng Jixing's overwhelming aura surged towards him, and he had no way to defend himself. His spirit was instantly crushed, which meant that he had admitted it.
"Die!"
The Crimson Phoenix waved its hand, and Tang Xian's body instantly turned into a pile of dust.
