"Countless lives have been plunged into misery and suffering. Blood clouds have covered the sun. This means that countless people have died on the continent …?" Chen Jiu smiled strangely.
"Boss, why is your smile so scary?" Zhang Xinran and the others couldn't help but shiver.
"Am I smiling? I'm just sympathizing with everyone. "Chen Jiu quickly wiped his face and said sorrowfully.
"Oh, maybe we saw wrong …" Zhang Xinran and the others returned to normal and said, "The continent is in chaos. Our families are very likely to be affected. Boss, we'll be leaving in a bit. We want to go home and take a look, okay?"
"Protecting the country is what we must do. You don't need to ask me for permission. Quickly prepare and go home." Chen Jiu didn't stop them and said to himself, "Maybe I should go back and take a look."
"Boss, I have no home to go to. How about I go back with you …" Li Xiao Yao suddenly said.
"Okay, you can go back with me." Chen Jiu nodded and didn't refuse Li Xiao Yao's good intentions.
There was no time to lose. They didn't stay any longer. After preparing, they quickly went their separate ways.
The reason why the genius arena was delayed for three days was to satisfy the students' desire to go home and visit. After all, their families might be in trouble. If they were to compete, they wouldn't have the heart to deal with it.
Tianlong City had a population of over ten million. Now that the Chen family was in charge, it was thriving and flourishing several times over.
Flourishing, the Chen family's businesses had already begun to spread to the surrounding large cities. In a few years, they would be able to become a business empire. They would be able to control the economic lifeline and play an important role.
However, on the first day of the new year, all of this changed. Countless businesses were plundered, and even Sky Dragon City, the foundation of the city, was surrounded by a large number of soldiers. It could be completely wiped out at any time.
The war broke out too suddenly, so many cities were not prepared. The entire Sky Dragon City was filled with a deathly aura, the atmosphere was extremely tense. Some of the newly recruited guards were trembling, they were extremely afraid.
However, they couldn't be blamed for this. They had never experienced such a battle before. Most of them were just guards and servants. Asking them to fight against a regular army was like throwing an egg against a rock.
Several leaders stood on the city walls, looking at the black mass of armored soldiers outside the city, their scalps turning numb.
"Brother Chen, what do you think we should do? Why do these armored soldiers seem to have appeared out of nowhere? There are close to a million of them. Our little Sky Dragon City is simply unable to resist them … "A middle-aged man with a full beard said with a troubled expression.
Zhao Sankui was the city lord of Sky Dragon City. In the past, he had a high status. But now, he had to rely on the Chen Family to survive.
The leader had a square face and big ears. He had an imposing appearance, and his aura seemed to merge with heaven and earth. He was Chen Tianhe.
Chen Tianhe had lived up to his expectations. He was now a Grandmaster. A Grandmaster Realm expert was as noble as a god among ordinary people.
"It doesn't matter. Capture the leader first. Once their leader comes out, I'll talk to them …" Chen Tianhe stood steadily, his face filled with confidence and decisiveness. He had the demeanor of a great general.
"Hey, little Zhao, quickly open the city gates and welcome our Martial King army. Otherwise, when our armored soldiers trample through the city gates, it will be the time of your death." A shout suddenly came from outside the city. It was a young general riding a golden horse. He was extremely mighty and arrogant.
"Martial King? Isn't this the Great Qian Empire? Why is there another Martial King? "Zhao Sankui couldn't help but ask loudly with Chen Tianhe's support.
"The Great Qian Emperor is incompetent. The rise of our Martial King is inevitable. Quickly open the city gates and let us in. We'll spare your lives …" The young man couldn't wait to reprimand him.
"Hmph, what Martial King? I've never heard of it. Where did this rebel come from? You want to overthrow the Great Qian Empire with a mere million soldiers? That's just wishful thinking. Little brat, if you know what's good for you, quickly lead your troops and retreat. We won't bicker with you …" Chen Tianhe couldn't help but retort.
"What? Who are you? You dare to ignore our Martial King? " The young man reprimanded with dissatisfaction. "If I say it, you'll be scared to death. Our Martial King is the Martial Marquis who guards the southwest region. The Great Qian Empire is incompetent. Our Martial Marquis has already established his empire and is preparing to establish his own territory. On the way, we've already subdued dozens of cities. If you know what's good for you, quickly open the city gates and welcome us in.
"Martial Marquis? That's impossible. Isn't he said to be the founding minister of the Great Qian Empire? His martial strength is world-shaking. A third of the reason why the Great Qian Empire was established is because of him. "Zhao Sankui was completely shocked. He was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.
"That's right, it's the Martial King." The young man said proudly. "I am the eighth layer Martial King, Sun Wu Kaifu. Do you know what to do now?"
"Embezzlement. As the Martial Marquis, you don't want to serve the Great Qian Empire. Instead, you want to rebel. That's treason. Today, we've opened the gates for you. That's a crime we can't afford." Chen Tianhe's will was firm. He refused to open the gates.
"How dare you! Who do you think you are? Die!" Wu Kaifu was furious. He immediately shot an arrow. With a swish, a divine light shot towards Chen Tianhe.
"Little brat, don't be arrogant. Do you dare fight me?" Chen Tianhe took a step forward. His fist's momentum was astonishing. With a boom, he actually shattered the divine arrow.
"Oh? I didn't think that a small Heavenly Dragon City would have such an expert. But you're only at the first layer of the Martial Scholar realm, right? You want to compete with a fifth layer Martial Scholar like me? What a joke. I'll kill you first. "Wu Kaifu was extremely disdainful. He flew into the air and confronted Chen Tianhe.
"Heavens … a fifth layer Martial Scholar. That's an Undying God. It's impossible to kill him …" Hearing Wu Kaifu's words, the morale of the entire Heavenly Dragon City became even more chaotic. If this continued, Heavenly Dragon City would definitely become a city of captives.
The new Kings had risen and occupied various cities. They were tyrannical, unreasonable, and plundered the people's wealth. For their own benefits and power, they would usually carry out a new round of cleansing and sweeping. If they were dissatisfied, they would kill people to vent their anger. They would confiscate their possessions and exterminate their families. It could be said that this was the reason why everyone instinctively resisted the new Kings.
