516: Chapter 516 The War of the Jin Dynasty, Conquest of the Northern Regions

With a wave of Hun Tiandi's hand, Wang Ku flew over with Lei Xuanji, followed by Elder Dan, Dragon King Ao Chuang, Sword Saint Tianquan, the Master of Sound Valley...

They all abandoned their confrontations with the various Saints and returned to Hun Tiandi's side.

Liu Ling, Mud Bodhisattva, and the other Dou Zun experts also ceased fighting and stood behind Hun Tiandi; the original square was now completely destroyed.

The experts of the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty looked utterly disgruntled.

Emperor Gu Xuan stepped forward and vanished from the sky, reappearing on the ruined square. Those who had retreated into the distance all held their breath.

The Sovereign of the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty, Emperor Gu Xuan?

Whether it was the Lei Clan or the others present, none had ever seen so many experts in their lives; these were all legendary figures.

One after another, they appeared like bamboo shoots after rain. It was truly an eye-opening and exhilarating sight.

“Juexiang, what happened?” Emperor Gu Xuan immediately asked Elder Jue.

Elder Jue gave a respectful salute: “Saint Leiyun was killed by Hun Tiandi!”

Whoosh...

An uproar erupted from all directions. Killing a Saint expert? How was that possible? One had to know that Leiyun was a Saint expert.

To think he was no match for Hun Tiandi?

Previously, some thought Saint Leiyun was intentionally holding back; they never imagined he could actually be killed.

The outsiders were unwilling to believe it, staring at Hun Tiandi in disbelief.

Could he really be this strong?

However, Dragon Phoenix Zi Yan, Saint Gu Xing, and the other Lei Clan experts present had seen it with their own eyes and fell into silence.

Swoosh!

Hun Tiandi turned to look into the distance and spoke slowly, “Wang Ku, collect Leiyun's remains.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Wang Ku gave a respectful salute and, with a wave of his sleeve, collected the silvery-white skeleton nearby.

A flash of hostility appeared in Emperor Gu Xuan's eyes as he looked at Hun Tiandi, narrowing his gaze at the group of experts beside him.

When he saw Wang Ku, his brow furrowed slightly as if he had sensed something.

When he saw the Master of Sound Valley, his eyes widened in shock.

Finally, Emperor Gu Xuan fixed his gaze on Hun Tiandi, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. This was their second meeting.

The first time was in the Dead Soul Mountain Range; back then, Hun Tiandi was but an ant in Emperor Gu Xuan's eyes, yet this ant-like existence...

Had snatched away the fortuitous opportunity of the soul light orb.

This was the second time, and he had ruined his grand wedding. He hadn't expected that so many experts would have already gathered around him.

“Since you're here, show yourself, Ao Sihai,” Emperor Gu Xuan suddenly spoke.

Buzz!

A figure wearing an azure water dragon robe appeared before Hun Tiandi, his aura as deep as an abyss.

“Hahaha, I was wondering why you were following me, Ao Sihai. So you had an ulterior motive?” Emperor Gu Xuan said mockingly.

“Didn't you follow along as well?” Ao Sihai said indifferently.

“The feeling is mutual,” Emperor Gu Xuan sneered.

“Ao Sihai, you truly have a sharp eye!” Emperor Gu Xuan took a deep look at Hun Tiandi.

He was clearly very surprised by Ao Sihai's judgment. When had Hun Tiandi caught his eye?

According to Emperor Gu Xuan's intelligence, Hun Tiandi was only at the Dou King level back then, having established a small dynasty that amounted to nothing.

How arrogant was the Dragon Clan? For thousands of years, they had never signed a contract with any Fortune Dynasty, yet they had taken an interest in a small dynasty.

Strangely, this small dynasty did not disappoint. In less than fifty years, it had actually grown so terrifyingly.

Even Emperor Gu Xuan, whose vision was higher than the heavens, had to admire this keen judgment.

Who would dare look down on the Dazheng Dynasty now?

This ambush battle proved that after today, the Fighting Qi Continent would surely be shaken, and Hun Tiandi's power would be widely publicized.

The dominance of the Dazheng Dynasty.

“I wouldn't dare. I wonder if Emperor Gu Xuan still intends to block us?” Ao Sihai asked, looking at Emperor Gu Xuan.

“Since you've come, do as you please!” Emperor Gu Xuan said indifferently.

Ao Sihai nodded and looked at Hun Tiandi; after all, Hun Tiandi was the lord of the Dazheng Dynasty.

Hun Tiandi stepped forward slowly, his green robe and hair fluttering in the breeze as an aura of disdain for the world surged into the sky.

“Emperor Gu Xuan,” Hun Tiandi said in a deep voice.

Emperor Gu Xuan stared at Hun Tiandi and did not respond.

“Hun Tiandi has accepted this 'grand gift' today. In the future, I will surely return a grand gift to the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty!” Hun Tiandi's voice was calm, but anyone could hear the killing intent within it.

“I shall be waiting anytime!” Emperor Gu Xuan let out a cold sneer.

In the past, as the Sovereign of the Celestial Dynasty, Emperor Gu Xuan would have disdained to speak with him, but the strength Hun Tiandi displayed this time made him take it seriously.

Even Emperor Gu Xuan hadn't expected that Hun Tiandi, who was only a seven-star Dou Huang, would have already gathered so much power under his command.

He actually dared to challenge a Saint. With Saint Leiyun's cultivation, not only was he no match for Hun Tiandi, but he was even killed.

This Hun Tiandi is truly a great threat!

“From this day forth, the Dazheng Dynasty officially declares war on the Great Yan Empire to wash away today's humiliation with blood. Within ten years, we shall conquer the territory of the Great Yan Empire,” Hun Tiandi said solemnly.

The Dazheng Dynasty vs. the Great Yan Empire—a declaration of war?

Although Yan Zhao was dead, the Crown Prince of Great Yan had succeeded him, so the empire had not collapsed; those present heard this clearly.

No one doubted Dazheng's strength; this small dynasty had once unified the Northwest Continent and destroyed two great empires.

Everyone knew that the Great Yan Empire in the Northern Region of Central State would face no effective resistance.

The war was initiated by a single word from Hun Tiandi.

Once war began, blood would flow in rivers. The Great Yan Empire was a vassal of the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty, so this was an indirect declaration of war against Emperor Gu Xuan.

“Let's go!” Hun Tiandi turned and said to everyone.

“Mhm!” Everyone nodded.

They walked out of the Thunder Realm boldly. Emperor Gu Xuan was helpless; had he known Hun Tiandi possessed such foundations, he would have certainly dispatched more experts.

The people on the periphery were sighing; so many experts, yet they couldn't manage to detain a single Hun Tiandi.

This man is far too formidable.

Hun Tiandi led the group to the Northern Region of Central State and issued orders to General Ye Wudi, Yun Xiao, Mr. Corpse Soul, and Wang Ku.

“The War of Dynasty Advancement officially begins.”

Hun Tiandi issued the order for the War of Dynasty Advancement to the various legion commanders, which was to march out against the surrounding empires and plunder their imperial providence.

This would replenish the providence of the Dazheng Dynasty, using quantitative change to trigger qualitative change, as they officially prepared to advance to an empire.

At the same time, the sects and empires of the Northern Region of Central State also attacked the Dazheng Dynasty, their proclamations of war filled with righteous spirit.

As if giving strength to countless armies to campaign in all directions.

General Ye Wudi, Yun Xiao, Mr. Corpse Soul, and Wang Ku took command of the armies. The guards beside the four legion commanders, who were previously Dou Huang experts, were replaced by Dou Zun experts from the Dragon Clan.

“My thanks to the Master of Sound Valley for your assistance this time. Hun Tiandi will surely remember this favor!” Hun Tiandi smiled and thanked the Master of Sound Valley.

“Think nothing of it!” The Master of Sound Valley became increasingly satisfied with Hun Tiandi, then returned to Sound Valley.

Sword Saint Tianquan returned to the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.

Led by Ao Sihai, Hun Tiandi, Lei Xuanji, and the others headed back toward the Black-Corner Region.

Moving at extreme speed, Hun Tiandi officially returned to the imperial capital seven days later.

After handling some war memorials—since his Blood Shadow Clone was present, there wasn't a large backlog of administrative tasks.

Ao Sihai returned to the Dragon Clan, and Mud Bodhisattva officially took office as the Director of the Imperial Board of Astronomy.

Everything was progressing in a positive direction.

After issuing the transfer orders, Hun Tiandi naturally took Lei Xuanji back to the inner palace to rest.

The two had known each other for several years,
