507: This duke has come here to see you.
Half an hour later.
The ancient warship arrived ten li outside the Chu Capital. The massive Chu Capital lay ahead, filled with countless pavilions and buildings.
Unlike ordinary capitals, the Chu Capital was enveloped in demonic aura, and a bloody, malevolent energy permeated the sky, making it appear extremely eerie.
On the ancient warship.
Xie Weilou looked at Yan Ruyu and said with a smile, “Actually, I have a question in my heart. I wonder if you can answer it?”
“Oh?”
Yan Ruyu gazed at Xie Weilou.
Xie Weilou said, “The key to West Chu’s crisis lies with the North Demon Hall and the Imperial Family. With the means you possess, can you really not deal with these two forces?”
With the blood-colored coffin and the previous gray Stone Embryo, even against a Divine Court Realm Peak, Yan Ruyu should be fearless.
After all, the combat power of that gray Stone Embryo already surpassed the Divine Court Realm.
Yan Ruyu was silent for a second before saying, “The North Demon Hall is not as simple as you imagine! There is an extremely bizarre weapon there called the Seven Curses of Divine Prohibition. It consists of seven strange bronze pillars, imbued with the power of curses, capable of suppressing the Divine Soul, suppressing cultivation, and even corroding the Divine Soul and spiritual energy. I once tried it, and my Stone Embryo was suppressed…”
The Seven Curses of Divine Prohibition were the North Demon Hall Master’s greatest reliance.
Legend has it that it was an unparalleled evil artifact obtained by the Centipede Clan in the Barren Desert.
The cursing power on the Seven Curses of Divine Prohibition could suppress the gray Stone Embryo, making it extremely terrifying.
As for her blood-colored coffin, it was certainly even more extraordinary.
Unfortunately, her strength was not strong enough to fully unleash its power, so it naturally couldn't stand against the Seven Curses of Divine Prohibition.
After listening, Xie Weilou frowned and said, “This is a bit troublesome then!”
If it were just a Divine Court Realm Peak, he could certainly fight.
But if there was also an evil artifact that even the gray Stone Embryo couldn't deal with, then he would have to be cautious to avoid capsizing in the gutter.
Yan Ruyu shook her head: “Your bronze egg is not simple; perhaps it can withstand the Seven Curses of Divine Prohibition.”
The Seven Curses of Divine Prohibition were indeed terrifying, but Xie Weilou’s bronze egg, which could even devour the gray Stone Embryo, was clearly more sinister; perhaps it could withstand the Seven Curses of Divine Prohibition.
“Then let’s go try it.”
Xie Weilou said in a deep voice.
Since he had come all this way, he naturally couldn't return empty-handed; he had to at least try.
Yan Ruyu said, “Let’s first resolve the threat to the Chu Capital, and then go to the North Demon Hall. In this Chu Capital, there are three Divine Court Realm cultivators: first, West Chu’s Protector General, the Spear God Chu Wujiang, who is at the mid-Divine Court Realm. This person is a friend of the Sword Immortal and should not become an obstacle. Another is West Chu’s Imperial Advisor, Huang Xu, who is at the late-Divine Court Realm.”
“The last one is the Chu Emperor, also at the late-Divine Court Realm. He cultivates a demonic method of the Demon Race, using demonic cores and human blood for cultivation, which allows for extremely rapid breakthroughs.”
Why would the Chu Emperor agree to the Demon Race settling in West Chu?
Because the Demon Race’s cultivation methods allowed him to continuously increase his cultivation. The current Chu Emperor, cultivating the demonic methods, had become inherently cruel, even more bloodthirsty and ferocious than the Demon Race.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he would watch idly as the Demon Race slaughtered and refined Demon-Humans in West Chu.
Because at this moment, he was like a demon, feeling that everything was normal!
“Enter the city!”
Xie Weilou gently waved his hand.
The ancient warship transformed into an afterimage, instantly rushing towards the Chu Capital ahead.
Buzz!
Just as the ancient warship approached the Chu Capital, a grand formation appeared, protecting the city.
“Halt!”
Immediately, an indifferent voice sounded. On the towering city wall, a middle-aged man in black armor, holding a long spear, appeared.
This middle-aged man was none other than the Spear God, Chu Wujiang. He gripped his spear tightly, gazing indifferently at the ancient warship ahead, his eyes flickering with a faint glow.
The ancient warship stopped in front of the Chu Capital.
Xie Weilou looked at Chu Wujiang and said with a faint smile, “Mid-Divine Court Realm, it seems you are the Spear God Chu Wujiang!”
Chu Wujiang stared at Xie Weilou with fierce eyes: “And who are you?”
Xie Weilou said calmly, “Xie Weilou!”
“Xie Weilou? Great Xia’s Marquis Zhenxi?”
Chu Wujiang’s eyes narrowed. He had heard of Xie Weilou’s name; he was a rising star in Great Xia, and it was said his strength was not simple.
“What is your purpose in coming to my West Chu this time? You previously broke through thirteen cities in West Chu and slaughtered countless West Chu soldiers. This is no small matter!”
Chu Wujiang’s tone was chilling.
Xie Weilou said with a smile, “To slaughter the Imperial Family and destroy the North Demon Hall.”
“Your tone is quite arrogant! It’s understandable for a young man with some strength to be impetuous, but I advise you not to bring trouble upon yourself. Return the way you came!”
Chu Wujiang said in a deep voice.
Slaughter the Imperial Family?
Destroy the North Demon Hall?
If it were truly that simple, why would it be Xie Weilou’s turn! This young man is extraordinary, but there’s no need for him to die here.
Xie Weilou shook his head: “A dignified Protector General should protect the West Chu Dynasty, but the current West Chu does not seem to be protected by you. How about I give it a try? You step aside, and I’ll flatten this Imperial Family and the North Demon Hall!”
“Don’t be arrogant. Leave quickly.”
Chu Wujiang said with a sullen face.
Xie Weilou looked at the Chu Capital: “The vast Chu Capital has no soldiers or common people, only a deathly silence. This capital, you cannot protect it!”
With that, he took a step forward, and a fierce might passed through the grand formation, instantly pressing down on Chu Wujiang.
Crack!
The city wall cracked, and Chu Wujiang was immediately forced back three steps.
He stared at Xie Weilou in horror. This young man could force him back with just his aura. How strong must he be?
Boom!
Xie Weilou took a second step, and the city protection formation was directly shattered. He instantly appeared above the city, saying indifferently, “This Marquis has arrived. Why isn’t the Chu Emperor rolling out to pay respects?”
What damn Chu Capital? What damn Imperial Family and Imperial Advisor? Today, he would overturn them all!
If he couldn't overturn Great Xia, then he would overturn a West Chu.
“……”
Chu Wujiang’s gaze towards Xie Weilou was filled with helplessness.
He had warned him several times; this young man was too impulsive in his actions.
If things were truly that simple, he and Wang Ruoxu would have resolved the trouble long ago and wouldn't have endured until now.
But even with their cultivation, facing the Imperial Family and the North Demon Hall was merely like throwing an egg against a rock.
“Presumptuous!”
Within the city, a sinister voice rang out. A young man in a scarlet robe with a feminine face flew out.
A Dragon Transformation Realm initial stage aura permeated his body, with demonic energy swirling around him, clearly indicating he had cultivated a Demon Race technique.
Accompanying him were six Demon-Humans at the Dragon Transformation Realm Peak.
When Chu Wujiang saw the six Dragon Transformation Realm Peak Demon-Humans, a hint of complex emotion appeared in his eyes.
These six Demon-Humans were once ancestors of some sects in West Chu, later captured by the North Demon Hall and refined into Demon-Humans.
The red-robed man glanced at Chu Wujiang and said with displeasure, “General Chu, an outside enemy has attacked. Why do you not act?”
“……”
Chu Wujiang remained silent.
The red-robed man raised an eyebrow. He looked at Xie Weilou and said coldly, “I am Night Xuan, the Crown Prince of West Chu. Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Chu Capital? Do you have a death wish?”
“A mere Crown Prince of West Chu dares to bark like a dog in front of me? You’re courting death.”
Xie Weilou looked at Night Xuan with indifference.
“You’re looking for death!”
Night Xuan’s eyes were fierce, and his demonic energy erupted, filled with an extremely dense killing intent.
“Noisy!”
Xie Weilou slapped out with his palm.
Boom!
Before Night Xuan could react, he was directly slapped into dust…
