Be unwilling to take charge
Night enveloped the entire Imperial City. It was as desolate as water. Even the occasional night breeze was colder than usual.
At this time, the screams on the Qitian Peak were getting weaker and weaker until they were almost non-existent. This was because most of the soldiers at the foot of the mountain had been slaughtered. The remaining people who were hiding in the dark were also being found and killed.
Under the bright full moon, there was only the ground dyed red and the cold corpses.
Unlike the deathly stillness of the Qitian Peak, at this moment, the Imperial City was filled with deafening noises and roars. One figure after another dashed through the night sky, continuing the bloody massacre of the day.
However, the roles of those who were killed and those who were killed were completely reversed. The soldiers who had surrounded the Imperial City were being chased and killed. They no longer had the arrogance and complacency they had before.
Back then, when Wu Jing Xue was in charge of the Liuyun Dynasty, with a single order, all the armies from the borders rushed to the Imperial City. They obeyed Wu Jing Xue's orders and surrounded the Imperial City, massacring the Imperial City.
Now, Wu Jing Xue was dead, and the three thousand Jingtian Army were completely annihilated by the sword array.
Having lost their commander, these soldiers naturally became deserters. How could they dare to stay in the Imperial City for long? They all fled in all directions without any thoughts of resistance.
While everyone was frantically chasing after the deserters, everyone had gathered in the Soaring Cloud Palace.
After an entire day of fighting, everyone's bodies were covered in wounds. However, at this moment, their faces were filled with wild joy. Cheers and loud laughter entered everyone's ears, causing the entire place to be filled with a joyous atmosphere.
Before today, none of them had expected such an outcome.
Wu Jing Xue personally led three thousand Jingtian Army soldiers to massacre the Imperial City. How domineering was that? Outside the city, there were millions of soldiers surrounding the city. Every person that came out was killed. Just the blood that flowed out was enough to form a river.
Under such circumstances, they were all determined to die on the Qitian Peak.
However, in the end, they survived and obtained a great victory.
This feeling of coming back from the dead was like obtaining a new life. It was too miraculous. Even elders like Xue Dangkong and Yang Yan were unable to restrain the ecstasy in their hearts. They laughed loudly and spoke loudly, releasing the joy in their hearts.
"It seems that they have suppressed themselves for too long." Chu Xingyun could not help but heave a long sigh of relief when he saw the scene before him. His tensed mind was finally able to relax.
"President Chu."
At this time, Tang Yue slowly walked to the front of Chu Xingyun.
His face was full of excitement. He bent his knees and knelt down heavily. He said loudly, "Today, you killed Wu Jing Xue, destroyed the rebels who besieged the city, and avenged the Tang family. Please accept my three bows!"
As he spoke, he heavily knocked his head against the ground. Every single sound was extremely clear, causing the crowd to stop talking and quietly watch this scene.
In fact, in their hearts, they were also very grateful to Chu Xingyun.
If Chu Xingyun did not appear, perhaps all of them would have been killed by the cavalry of the Jingtian Army. The entire Liuyun Dynasty would have become a weapon of war.
"There is a blood feud between Wu Jing Xue and I. Killing him was something that I had to do. I cannot accept these three bows."
Chu Xingyun floated Tang Yue up and smiled. He said, "Moreover, you are the emperor's son. In the future, you will regain the imperial power. It is too much for the emperor to kneel."
"Hmm?"
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, Tang Yue's eyes narrowed slightly. He said in surprise, "President Chu, are you not willing to take over the Liuyun Dynasty?"
Today, Chu Xingyun used his supreme technique to cut through the endless murderous aura and even killed Wu Jing Xue. Everyone was deeply impressed by his strength.
As for the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce, after a period of development, it had recruited countless experts. Even the three Martial Houses had joined and become a part of it.
As long as Chu Xingyun made an announcement, everyone in the dynasty would be willing to worship him as the emperor without any objections.
However, Chu Xingyun said that Tang Yue wanted to regain the imperial power. This meant that he wanted to return the imperial power to the Tang Family and did not intend to become the new emperor of Liuyun.
"The Tang Family has been in control of the imperial power for hundreds of years. Except for the weakening of the military power, the country has always been peaceful and prosperous. Now, Wu Jing Xue is dead and the rebels have been eliminated. After the reform, the Tang Family regaining the imperial power is undoubtedly the best choice."
Chu Xing Yun's tone was casual, and everyone nodded in agreement.
Indeed, the Tang Family had been in control of the imperial power for hundreds of years and had a deep understanding of the way of governing a country. If Tang Yue succeeded the throne, the Liuyun Dynasty would be completely revitalized in a short time.
"President Chu's righteousness has convinced Tang Yue!" Tang Yue's expression became more and more emotional. He did not know how to describe his feelings. His knees trembled and he was about to kneel again.
Chu Xingyun stopped him and could not help but smile bitterly. He said, "I said that I can't accept the emperor's kneel. If you really want to thank me, do your best to govern the dynasty and be a wise emperor. Don't suffer today's disaster again."
"I, Tang Yue, listen carefully!" Tang Yue's eyes were full of determination. He retreated and quickly left the Qitian Peak.
Seeing Tang Yue in such a hurry, the crowd looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes. Letting Tang Yue take over the imperial power was indeed the right decision.
"The Tang Family regained the imperial power and the situation in the Imperial City will gradually stabilize. However, during this period, we can't be idle."
After Tang Yue left, Chu Xingyun's eyes flashed a sharp light. He first looked at Xue Dangkong and said, "Pavilion Master Xue, you are a person of the Imperial City and are very familiar with the family forces in the Imperial City. Tonight, you will take a team of a hundred people and secretly pursue those escaping family forces. You can't let them go easily."
As soon as his voice fell, Chu Xingyun continued, "As for the others, divide into 64 groups and immediately go to other cities. First, continue to build branches. Second, pursue those rebels. If I'm not wrong, there must be a nest of rebels in the 64 cities of Liuyun."
"Remember, this operation must be hidden. Not only do you have to pursue the rebels, but you also have to coordinate the resources!"
Chu Xingyun emphasized the last four words. The crowd was stunned at first and then suddenly came to their senses. Their eyes also flashed with a burst of light.
After today, those who surrendered to Wu Jing Xue would definitely flee. They had a lot of resources on them. It would be a pity if they just let them go.
Therefore, Chu Xingyun ordered everyone to act overnight and prepare to take all the resources in the bag!
