460: Chapter 460 Unifying the Northwest, Xiao Yu'er Questions...

Ang...

High in the sky, the Golden Dragon of Luck let out a world-shaking cry of sorrow. Beneath the dragon's roar, the crowd below trembled slightly.

"Keep burning!" Mr. Corpse Soul continued to order.

"Yes!" Many soldiers continued to burn. The fire was towering, reaching straight into the clouds. The super fire spread, allowing everyone in Chuyun City to see it.

Countless commoners were stunned. Seeing this scene, their hearts were lost. At this moment, the nation was destroyed, the palace was on fire, and a hint of nostalgia arose in their hearts.

Nostalgia for the Izumo Empire, its past pride, its past beliefs.

"From this day forth, the Izumo Empire is removed from the Northwest Continent!"

Mr. Corpse Soul shouted loudly, as if announcing it to the world, or reporting it to the heavens.

Boom!

A loud bang resonated between heaven and earth, as if responding to Mr. Corpse Soul's words.

Ang!

Above Chuyun City, the struggling Golden Dragon of Luck let out a cry of sorrow. Staring at Mr. Corpse Soul with a face full of hatred, it actually lunged towards him, pouncing to kill.

The massive Golden Dragon of Luck, with its flowing aura—this was its final struggle, its final resistance.

A cold sneer appeared at the corner of Mr. Corpse Soul's mouth as he allowed the Golden Dragon of Luck to rush into his body.

Refining the Golden Dragon of Luck, the cultivation within his body surged. Mr. Corpse Soul's entire body burst with golden light as he sat cross-legged, circulating his cultivation technique to refine it.

The Zombie Personal Guards beside him protected Mr. Corpse Soul, using the providence to wash over their bodies and break through karmic obstacles.

The Izumo Palace burned, soon reduced to a pile of ruins.

The soldiers stood guard. A day later, the cross-legged Mr. Corpse Soul woke up, his eyes flashing with sharp light. Those present saw his cultivation break through.

Peak Nine-star Dou Huang!

The various marshals felt a bit strange. Seeing Mr. Corpse Soul's surge in power, they thought he had been hiding his strength.

"Clear the ruins and set up camp," Mr. Corpse Soul ordered.

"Yes," many soldiers replied.

Afterward, the Blood Shadow Clone returned alone, his aura in disarray. The Emperor of Chuyun never appeared again, which meant His Majesty had been victorious.

The Northwest Continent was unified as the territory of the Dazheng Dynasty.

It took three months to clear out all the defiant cities of the Izumo Empire. There was no longer an Izumo Empire.

Only the Dazheng Dynasty remained.

All these two hundred-plus cities became cities of the Dazheng Dynasty. Inside a grand hall in Chuyun City, the Blood Shadow Clone sat at the commander's desk.

Two rows of generals stood there: General Ye Wudi, Yun Xiao...

"The Emperor of Chuyun was indeed a hero of his generation; he was truly strong," the Blood Shadow Clone sighed. If he hadn't been ground to death by the Absolute Life Earth Array Diagram in the end...

...perhaps he wouldn't have been able to do anything to him.

It turned out that before Dazheng prepared to move against the Northwest Continent, the Array Emperor had already set up the array.

"Report..." A report came from outside the hall, and a soldier entered.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, someone outside the camp delivered this letter." The soldier knelt and held up the letter.

The Blood Shadow Clone's expression was indifferent as he quickly opened and read it.

He suddenly stood up and flew out of the camp. General Ye Wudi and the others did not follow.

An hour later, on a distant mountain peak.

A beautiful figure in white stood there. The sunlight scattered on her body, making her glow with golden light. It was actually Miss Xiao Yuer.

"Should I call you Yun Tian? Or Hun Tiandi?" a cold voice came.

"Should I call you Yu Xiao? Or Miss Xiao Yuer?" the Blood Shadow Clone said indifferently.

"Whether it's Yun Tian or Hun Tiandi, they are both my names. When I first stepped into the Central Plains, I had to use an alias!"

"Hahaha, what a Yun Tian, what a Hun Tiandi. You really hid it deep enough," Miss Xiao Yuer laughed somewhat frantically.

Her whole body emitted a violent aura; she seemed almost unrecognizable.

The Blood Shadow Clone felt helpless; the original body was truly capable of causing trouble. This woman before him, Miss Xiao Yuer, was the first woman to take his innocence.

Naturally, the impression was deep, as if it were yesterday.

"I didn't want to provoke the Xiao Family for the time being, but the Xiao Family pressed me again and again. From the moment I killed Xiao Tian, it was destined that I and the Xiao Family would be like fire and water."

"The Xiao Family joined forces with the Starfall Pavilion to force me out of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion and hunted me all the way. If I didn't have some skill, I would have been killed by the Xiao Family long ago."

"In the shocking battle in the Black-Corner Region, three Dou Saints from the Xiao Family led three Half-Saints and many experts to besiege the Dazheng Dynasty. This was simply giving me no way out."

The Blood Shadow Clone's tone was calm; he was stating facts.

Miss Xiao Yuer couldn't refute. Questioning Hun Tiandi today, her eyes were full of tears, and she shook her head, unwilling to believe this was true.

"Can you, for my sake, turn weapons into jade and silk with the Xiao Family?"

"I am willing to be your Empress, as long as you can let go of the hatred."

Miss Xiao Yuer said with a tearful face and a mournful voice.

"For your sake?" The Blood Shadow Clone smiled playfully and slowly spoke: "When I destroyed the Mu Lan Empire, the experts of the Mu Lan Empire held my Empress, Princess Nian Youyou, hostage to force me to give up the siege of their capital."

"My woman would rather die than let me take a single step back."

"Do you think you are more important than my Empress? To give up my hegemony and make peace with the Xiao Family—how would I explain that to the subordinates who follow me?"

"Moreover, a month ago, if I had lost the battle in the Black-Corner Region, would the Xiao Family have let me go?"

"Give up these unrealistic illusions. In the Fighting Qi Continent, only one between me and the Xiao Family can survive."

Hearing this, Miss Xiao Yuer felt bitter in her heart. He actually had another Empress?

"Jie jie jie, trying to use your body to feed the demon and guide me back to the righteous path? Ridiculous," the Blood Shadow Clone sneered.

"Go. If we meet again in the future, we will be enemies," the Blood Shadow Clone said coldly. With a flicker of his body, he flew towards Chuyun City.

When talk is disagreeable, even half a sentence is too much.

Miss Xiao Yuer had originally wanted to warn Yun Tian not to oppose the Xiao Family. As a member of the Xiao Family, she naturally knew exactly how much hidden foundation the Xiao Family had.

Once it was all revealed, the Dazheng Dynasty he was so proud of would likely turn to dust in an instant.

She didn't expect this would cause a misunderstanding for Yun Tian and deepen the suspicion between Miss Xiao Yuer and Yun Tian.

Facing the cold wind on the mountain peak, her heart was filled with bitterness. With a flicker of her body, she disappeared from the spot and went to the Poison Sect to visit Xiao Yi Xian.

After she left, the Blood Shadow Clone walked out from the distant forest, his gaze deep as he looked in the direction Miss Xiao Yuer had left.

He sighed in his heart: "It's good to speak clearly today. It's better than keeping it unspoken and making things awkward for everyone in the future."

With a flicker of his body, he flew into the distance.

"I am returning to the capital today. Yun Xiao, you will stay to guard Chuyun City. The Northwest Continent has just been unified and needs stability," the Blood Shadow Clone said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yun Xiao took the order.

The Blood Shadow Clone flew towards the Black-Corner Region, followed by Wang Ku, General Ye Wudi, and Mr. Corpse Soul. Absorbing the battlefield's baleful aura from the Northwest Continent, his injuries recovered by about ten percent.

There was no longer any meaning in staying in Chuyun City.

In half a day, they returned to Chang'an City. A massive aura gathered from all directions. While everyone was still unaware...

...it was filtered through the Dazheng divine artifacts, the 'fangtian imperial seal' and the 'investiture of the gods scroll', before the massive providence finally gathered in the sky.

Providence—immeasurable golden providence. The massive providence kept gathering until the sky above Chang'an City was a shimmering golden expanse.

From a great distance, it looked like another sun hanging high in the sky.

Incredibly brilliant.

The providence of two empires and nearly a hundred kingdoms—throughout history, which dynasty could have so much providence?

It was too massive! Too majestic!

In the past, when a group of dynasties advanced, their providence was just a tiny bit, the least among the dynasties.

But which dynasty in the world could compare to Dazheng?

Countless scouts around them widened their eyes. This providence was too exaggerated! Although it couldn't compare to a Heavenly Dynasty, it had at least half the providence of one.

So thick! So much! This Dazheng Dynasty was too powerful.

The providence of the Dazheng Dynasty increased at a terrifying speed. Except for Yun Xiao, the three legion commanders returned to the capital.

With the Northwest unified, they were no longer needed.
