181: Chapter 181 Zhu Yuheng: What are these things?
Great Ling Dynasty.
At this moment, Zhu Yuheng stood in the imperial court. A blazing flame mark flickered at the center of her brow; the flame seemed real, swaying gently with her breath.
Zhu Yuheng looked at the Spirit Emperor and said in a cold voice, "Is the Spirit Emperor still not clear on my conditions?"
"I want to enter the Buzhou Secret Treasury!"
The Spirit Emperor sat on the dragon throne, his face as dark as ink, but he could not avoid Zhu Yuheng's questioning.
After a moment of silence, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, it's a deal! But the prerequisite is that you must first help us resolve the immediate crisis and make the Great Qin Dynasty withdraw its troops!"
The Buzhou Secret Treasury contained endless mysteries and power; it was the final trump card passed down through the Great Ling Dynasty's Legacy.
Now that Zhu Yuheng had demanded entry into the Buzhou Secret Treasury, she had undoubtedly seized the Great Ling Dynasty's vital weakness.
However, while the Great Ling Dynasty's current strength was not weak, the Spirit Emperor was well aware of Great Qin's tyranny.
The only reliable way was to bring in more Experts; the Disciples of the Fire God Sect were the perfect choice.
As for seeking help from the Great Night Imperial Dynasty?
What a joke!
The Spirit Emperor did not believe for a second that the Great Night Imperial Dynasty would send troops to help him.
His Great Ling Dynasty wasn't that important in the Night Emperor's heart. Besides, if the Great Night Imperial Dynasty did deploy troops, would the other Imperial Dynasties just sit idly by?
If your soldiers are all out and I don't attack you, I'd have to be blind!
Furthermore, behind the Great Qin Dynasty was the Jiesheng Sect. If the Night Emperor wasn't a fool, he wouldn't care about him at all—unless his Great Ling Dynasty had the qualifications to make the Night Emperor fall out with the Jiesheng Sect and ignore the other Imperial Dynasties.
Unfortunately, he didn't have them!
Hearing the Spirit Emperor's words, the corners of Zhu Yuheng's mouth curled up slightly, revealing an almost imperceptible smile.
She knew she had already succeeded halfway. Next, she only needed to repel the Great Qin Dynasty's army.
"Qin Emperor."
"No matter how good your relationship with the Jiesheng Sect is, I don't believe the Jiesheng Sect will help you in a struggle between Imperial Dynasties!"
"With thirty thousand Golden Cores, what will you use to fight?"
Zhu Yuheng seemed to see the gates of the Buzhou Secret Treasury opening toward her.
She had been eyeing the Great Ling Dynasty's Buzhou Secret Treasury for five hundred years, but that dog of a Spirit Emperor had refused to let her in no matter what she said.
This time...
The timing was perfect!
"Looking at it this way, I should actually thank the Qin Emperor."
"I won't kill all of your soldiers; I'll leave some for you as my way of repaying the favor!" Zhu Yuheng thought happily.
...
Burning City.
A border city of the Great Ling Dynasty.
At this moment.
Dark clouds loomed over Burning City, making this giant beast crouching on the earth seem to tremble slightly.
In the distance.
Black-armored soldiers stood atop the clouds, gazing down at this giant beast of a city.
Bai Qi sat on a chair forged from gold and iron. Beside him stood a young man who looked like a scholar, followed by five Experts.
"General Bai, your subordinate has analyzed the situation. Although Burning City has a large territory, its military strength is less than a hundred thousand. Furthermore, the strongest among them is only at Golden Core Realm Perfection. This time, we can completely sweep through!" The scholar was named Jia Zhengdao. Because he lacked Cultivation Aptitude and came from an ordinary family, he had to rely on studying to find a way forward. He happened to encounter the Great Qin Dynasty's imperial examinations, and relying on his talent, Jia Zhengdao took the top spot in one fell swoop.
He was also the only Mortal serving as an official in the Great Qin Dynasty's court.
This time was Jia Zhengdao's first mission, and it was also his opportunity to see if he could truly stand within the Great Qin court!
"It seems the Great Ling Dynasty has outside help!"
Suddenly.
Above Burning City, waves of powerful and scorching auras rushed toward them, as if they were about to burn the world to ashes.
Jia Zhengdao's expression changed.
His analysis was wrong.
"General Bai, these auras seem to be only at the Golden Core Realm," Jia Zhengdao said.
Although he had no strength, he had seen many Experts. Comparing them to Great Qin's soldiers and Experts, Jia Zhengdao spoke to Bai Qi.
Bai Qi gave Jia Zhengdao a surprised look.
"You have no Cultivation, yet you can discern the opponent's strength?"
Jia Zhengdao smiled faintly. "Exactly so. Only thus can I, with a Mortal body, detect anomalies!"
Bai Qi stood up and asked, "Then how do you think we should fight?"
Jia Zhengdao took a deep breath.
"General Bai, in my humble opinion."
"Every Cultivator in Burning City must be completely slaughtered. Our goal is the entire Great Ling Dynasty; to be safe, we absolutely cannot leave any Cultivators behind us!"
Hearing this, Bai Qi grinned.
"That fits my intentions perfectly!"
"Wait until we return to court in triumph; Master Jia will no longer have a Mortal body."
Bai Qi looked at the massive Burning City as if he were looking at a city of the dead.
Behind him was the 108 Million Year Army, and these individuals were not humans, but zombies!
When commanding these zombies, if he left anyone alive, wouldn't that disgrace the name of the Ten Thousand Years Army?
Rather than calling this Ten Thousand Years Army a military force, it was better to say they were Bai Qi's left and right hands, deployed at his will without any emotion.
Flames filled the sky, and from within the sea of fire, Zhu Yuheng walked forward calmly.
"General of Great Qin, withdraw your troops now, and you may keep your life."
"Otherwise, I shall annihilate every one of your Divine Souls!"
Zhu Yuheng said coldly.
Bai Qi suddenly laughed loudly. "If you have the ability, then feel free to burn our Divine Souls!"
"The Great Ling Dynasty's crime deserves total extermination!"
"Attack!"
"Leave no living being alive!"
Under Zhu Yuheng's shocked gaze, the 108,000 black-armored soldiers did not hesitate for a second and charged directly toward Burning City!
"Disciples of the Fire God Sect, hear my command!"
"Kill!"
Facing the sea of fire, the Ten Thousand Years Army charged straight in, seemingly unconcerned with what was in front of them. In Zhu Yuheng's sight, these Ten Thousand Years Army soldiers rushed into the flames as if they were completely unaffected.
Especially when the Ten Thousand Years Army encountered the Disciples of her Fire God Sect; they didn't care about their own safety, they just killed!
"Something's wrong!"
Seeing this, Zhu Yuheng personally entered the fray and captured a soldier of the Ten Thousand Years Army. After inspecting him, her expression changed: "No Divine Soul?"
This sea of fire was a supreme treasure of the Fire God Sect, named Fire God's Wrath!
It specifically countered Divine Souls.
She had gone to great lengths to bring it out, but she never expected it to be completely useless??
In her original plan, Fire God's Wrath alone should have stopped the Great Qin army in its tracks. Now you're telling me these Great Qin soldiers don't even have Divine Souls?
Then wouldn't her Fire God's Wrath be nothing more than a decoration??
Bai Qi and Jia Zhengdao looked at Zhu Yuheng, both wearing smiles on their faces.
"Your Excellency, have you seen enough?" As Bai Qi spoke, he instantly appeared before Zhu Yuheng, his god slaying sword carrying a monstrous killing intent as it lunged straight for her!
Flames appeared in Zhu Yuheng's hand and enveloped a zombie. She originally thought she could easily burn it to ashes, but the zombie's aura actually grew stronger within her flames!
It jumped directly from the Early Stage Golden Core to Golden Core Perfection??
Zhu Yuheng: "???"
"Fire God Palm!"
Zhu Yuheng struck out with a palm, blocking Bai Qi's killing sword.
"What on earth are these people?"
"Even if they were Puppets, it would be impossible for them to withstand my Fire God's Flame!"
Zhu Yuheng looked at Bai Qi and gritted her teeth.
And at this moment...
Severed limbs and broken arms were constantly falling from the sky; these were all Disciples of her Fire God Sect...
In contrast, those Ten Thousand Years Army soldiers were completely unafraid of death. They used no techniques, just pure killing, and didn't care how much power struck their bodies. Even if their bodies were shattered, their final skeletal palms would still drag someone down with them.
What the hell are these things??
