The Fall of the King
From the appearance of the Jingtian Army to the beginning of the bloody massacre, only a few breaths of time had passed, but the atmosphere in the space had changed dramatically.
The entire Imperial Palace was filled with slaughter, blood, and even wails. Practically everywhere one looked was covered in blood and severed limbs. Every step one took was ghastly and corpses could be seen everywhere, causing the scene to be extremely horrifying.
"How could this be? How could the Jingtian Army suddenly appear?" When Tang Zheng saw this scene, his entire person seemed to have lost his soul. Even when the blood stained his face, he was completely unaware. His mind went blank.
"I've said it before. All of you are ignorant. It's only normal that you've fallen to such a state."
A cold voice suddenly came from behind, causing Tang Zheng's hair to stand on end. He turned his head and saw the shadow of a purplish black flood dragon rushing towards him in an instant.
Bang!
A low muffled sound rang out. That flood dragon shadow did not completely kill Tang Zheng. The destructive brilliance passed through his body and completely penetrated his lower abdomen, causing a large amount of thick blood to burst out.
Wu Jing Xue stretched out his hand and directly grabbed Tang Zheng's head. He sneered and said, "I've been on the battlefield for decades and have long gotten used to seeing through schemes and plots. I can see through your little tricks at a glance. Someone as ignorant as you actually gathered the Imperial Army and the Flowing Cloud Iron Guard to besiege and kill me. But this is also good. It saves me the trouble of tracking you down one by one."
His voice was laced with bitter ridicule, causing Tang Zheng's body to violently tremble. Every time his body trembled, his wounds would split open and spurt out boiling blood.
Such an outcome was too tragic. It was as if Wu Jingxue was toying with him in the palm of his hand!
"Father!"
Tang Yue finally couldn't bear it anymore. With a roar, he immediately rushed toward Wu Jing Xue.
However, he'd merely taken two steps when a violent gale swept over, and it carried the weak energy of the heavens and the earth. It blasted him flying, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood while his expression became extremely dispirited.
"Stupid." Wu Jing Xue's voice was full of disdain. He didn't even look at Tang Yue.
He grabbed Tang Zheng's head tightly and soared into the air, reaching a height of a thousand meters. He looked into the distance, taking in the entire Imperial City. His lips curled up in a cold arc. "People of the Imperial City, listen to my orders!"
His voice was vigorous, and it was mixed with vigorous Spiritual Energy. It immediately spread throughout the entire Imperial City, causing everyone to involuntarily raise their heads to look over and stare at this shocking scene.
"Today, Tang Zheng has already lost at my hands, and the Imperial Army and Driftcloud Ironguard under his command have been completely slaughtered by me. From today onwards, I, Wu Jing Xue, will replace Tang Zheng and become the new Driftcloud King!"
"I will not mistreat anyone who is willing to submit. However, if anyone dares to disobey me, this will be their fate!"
Wu Jing Xue's body was filled with a domineering aura. He raised his arm high, and the five fingers that were holding Tang Zheng's head suddenly burst with a terrifying power, completely crushing it.
Buzz!
A mist of blood spurted out. It was so conspicuous in the night sky that everyone's hearts began to tremble violently.
Tang Zheng, the Driftcloud King, had actually died. Moreover, he had died in front of everyone's eyes.
In an instant, the entire Imperial City fell silent. Everyone held their breaths. They didn't even dare to make a sound. They were completely and utterly shocked.
"Father's means are unparalleled. Under your rule, the Liuyun Dynasty will definitely last for eternity and be invincible!" At this moment, Wu Teng suddenly stood up and knelt down on one knee. He looked up at Wu Jing Xue's burly figure and roared.
"Last for eternity and be invincible!"
"Last for eternity and be invincible!"
…
Immediately, the three thousand Jingtian Army knelt down. Their thunderous voices broke the silence and reverberated in the Imperial Palace for a long time, lingering in the air.
A satisfied smile appeared on Wu Jingxue's face. He waved his hand and casually tossed Tang Zheng's corpse into the air. He slowly landed on the ground and looked at the leaders of the other factions. Everyone felt as if their hearts had stopped beating.
Qin Tianfeng immediately stepped forward and knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, my Qin Clan is willing to submit. From now on, we will follow your orders and will not defy you in the slightest. If we do, we are willing to be struck by lightning!"
After he spoke, Luo Chuanfeng, Su Kong, and the other leaders of the forces knelt on the ground. They were all willing to submit to Wu Jing Xue and didn't dare to make the slightest protest.
Wu Jing Xue's cultivation had reached the Yin Yang Realm. He was extremely powerful and could easily kill Heavenly Spirit Realm experts. The three thousand Jingtian Army under his command killed people like slaughtering dogs. Even the Imperial Guards and the Flowing Cloud Iron Guards were slaughtered.
In the face of such a situation, if they resisted, their fate would be extremely miserable and their families would be wiped out.
"The Yunmeng Martial House is also willing to submit!"
At this moment, Yin Tiancheng also knelt down on one knee. He was willing to submit to Wu Jing Xue as his master.
Wu Jing Xue represented the radical faction and had a close relationship with the Yunmeng Martial House. After Wu Jing Xue seized the throne and ruled the Liuyun Dynasty, the Yunmeng Martial House naturally wouldn't disobey and immediately chose to submit.
"Since the beginning of the Liuyun Dynasty, the Five Great Martial Houses have been in a transcendent position. But today, I, Wu Jing Xue, am in charge of the Liuyun Dynasty and will completely change this situation. From now on, the Five Great Martial Houses will be under my command and will be under my sole control."
Wu Jingxue looked at the other four Mansion Heads. His voice was filled with an order that could not be disobeyed. He said coldly, "Of course, if anyone is unwilling to submit, I will not force them. I will kill all of them."
His words were filled with threat and made the four leaders tremble. Even Elder Qing and Hua Yunhe's expressions became incomparably solemn and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.
Wu Jing Xue was a person who loved to fight. If the Lingxiao Martial House fell into his hands, it would become a battlefield. They didn't want to see that happen. However, Wu Jing Xue's strength was too strong. If they didn't submit, they were afraid that the Lingxiao Martial House would be razed to the ground.
"Apart from the Five Great Martial Houses, all the Chambers of Commerce will be under my control." Wu Jing Xue didn't even finish his sentence. He glanced around and punched out. In the end, his fist landed on Chu Xingyun's body. Chu Xingyun's expression became extremely gloomy.
The Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce was the number one chamber of commerce in the Liuyun Dynasty. It controlled the economic lifeline.
Wu Jing Xue's intention was very direct. He wanted Chu Xingyun to hand over the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce. If he didn't, he would personally lead the three thousand Jingtian Army and attack the Qitian Peak. He would completely destroy the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce.
"I've lived for more than half of my life, but I've never seen such a domineering person. He actually wants to control all of the lifelines of the dynasty!" Lin Tianchong was also furious when he sensed Wu Jingxue's domineering aura.
