150: I represent Thunder

Joke, if he waited for the earth veins to slowly purify and the mummified corpses to gradually weather away, wouldn't his efforts over the past few months have been in vain?

Although a single mummified soldier only earned 100 points of Faith, the unit price was a bit low, but there were so many of them.

It was like getting them for free.

Lin Chuping stood on the highest cliff in Yan Province, his robes flapping in the wind.

He looked at the dense, wandering mummified corpses in the wilderness, his smile gradually turning sinister.

"Thunder Punishment: Heaven and Earth Net!"

"Rumble—"

In an instant, the entire sky was covered by thunderclouds, and countless electric snakes moved through the clouds.

Lin Chuping's body surged with thunderous light, his hair stood on end, as if a Thunder God had descended.

"Ding! Purified mummified corpse +1, Faith +100."

"Ding! Purified mummified corpse +1, Faith +100."

...Listening to the System's continuous prompts, Lin Chuping couldn't stop smiling.

"System, give me some epic background music!"

"Ding! Matching BGM for Host: Lanling Wang Ru Zhen Qu."

As the stirring prelude suddenly began, Lin Chuping's smile widened maniacally—

"This is it!"

The "Lanling Wang Ru Zhen Qu" was one of his favorites from his previous life. When this song played, even if he was gloomily doing homework, he could feel like he was reviewing memorials.

Heroic ambition, devouring mountains and rivers.

As the stirring drumbeats of "Lanling Wang Ru Zhen Qu" echoed through the sky, Lin Chuping's body suddenly surged with thunderous light, and golden electric arcs climbed higher with the zither's ringing.

He raised his hand and waved, and thousands of thunderbolts transformed into a charging cavalry, pouring down upon the entire Yan Province!

"Boom—!"

The Yan Province earth trembled violently, and the thunderous light, like ten thousand sharp swords, cleaved directly into the corpse horde.

After being struck by the thunderfire, the mummified corpses first emitted green smoke, then, like dry grass set alight, they "crackled" a few times and turned to ash.

From the dense piles of mummified corpses, greyish-white smoke continuously rose, swirling and dissipating in the fierce wind.

Lin Chuping stood on the mountaintop, with deafening thunder and stirring ancient music in his ears.

He watched the battle below, filled with heroic spirit and a tingling scalp.

At this moment, not composing a poem would fail to express his kingly Qi.

"Ah~"

"A loud bang in the sky,

I make a brilliant entrance,

The wild wind youth is me,

I speak for lightning."

Hahahahaha~

* * *

At this moment, Yan Province was filled with flashing thunder.

The distant mummified corpse hordes struggled desperately in the thunder net, but no matter what, they couldn't escape, only to be purified one by one.

Gradually, the originally dense mummified corpse army visibly thinned out.

At the border between Qing Province and Yan Province, a dilapidated city wall was crowded with terrified people. They were dressed in rags, their faces haggard, but their eyes gleamed with disbelief.

Just as Lin Chuping was passionately harvesting, on the city wall of Qing Province Prefecture City, Li Shun and his entourage were on a rare inspection tour.

Wang Guanli had truly been riding high recently.

Since following Your Majesty to Qing Province, freed from Family pressure, he no longer hid his talents, eager to devote all 12 hours of the day to government affairs.

Qing Province was different from the Old Capital; the Emperor was merely a tool for handling government affairs.

Lord Chuping was the spiritual leader of all people.

Therefore, many policies needed to be re-formulated. He had become much thinner than a month ago, his once-fitting official robes now appeared loose, and dark circles hung under his eyes.

Compared to his physical exhaustion, his spirit was exceptionally high.

Yes, high.

Qing Province was truly a good place, a true pure land.

"Your Majesty, your subject has already ordered people to register all the latest population of Qing Province. What we need to do next is to wholeheartedly improve our strength... Your subject worries that Chancellor Liu will react and become detrimental to us."

The registration of household population went unusually smoothly. With just one phrase, "Our Your Majesty is the Emperor recognized by Lord Chuping," there was no longer any opposition in Qing Province.

However, in the Old Capital, Chancellor Liu would surely take the opportunity to stir up trouble..."Grand Tutor is right. I have already obtained the Faith Cultivation Art from Temple Official Chen. It is imperative that the entire army Cultivates..."

"..."

"This Qing Province is truly wonderful."

Just as he was observing the peaceful atmosphere of Qing Province and feeling emotional, he heard a guard beside him exclaim in surprise.

"Oh my heavens, what is that?"

Above Yan Province, dark clouds gathered, and tens of thousands of thunderbolts danced like silver snakes, illuminating the entire sky as if it were daytime.

The thunderous light was not ordinary white, but a sacred golden glow. Each lightning strike was accompanied by a deafening roar.

"It's mummified corpses! Those monsters are being struck by lightning!"

Shen Jianhong, hearing this, climbed to the highest point of the city wall, his voice trembling with excitement.

The dense hordes of mummified corpses in the distant wilderness, those monsters that had once terrified the people of Yan Province, were now turning to dust in the golden thunderous light.

The crowd on the city wall stirred; some retreated in fear, while others desperately pushed forward, wanting to see this incredible scene clearly.

"Thunder Punishment!"

"It's Thunder Punishment!"

"Lord Chuping has manifested!"

An old man on the city wall suddenly knelt on the ground, his forehead heavily striking the bluestone slab.

Several children beside him also knelt, their small hands clasped together, their eyes gleaming with almost fanatical worship.

Li Shun narrowed his eyes, the distant thunderous light casting his profile in alternating brightness and shadow.

He saw more and more Yan Province refugees prostrating themselves, some weeping bitterly, others shouting Lord Chuping's name.

These voices converged into an invisible tide, striking the ancient city walls of Qing Province.

This was his first time witnessing a divine punishment, and it was indeed beyond human capability, leaving one with no other thoughts whatsoever.

"Your Majesty..."

Wang Guanli also knelt, Li Shun having knelt a step earlier than him.

"Hmm?"

Li Shun did not turn his head, his gaze still fixed on the distant thunderous feast.

"Your subject believes that the most urgent task is to strengthen border patrols."

"Although those purified mummified corpses are not to be feared, it's hard to guarantee there won't be any stragglers."

When Wang Guanli said this, Li Shun looked at the brightly glowing protective array of Qing Province and felt that the Grand Tutor might be overthinking it.

With Lord Chuping's combat power, even if a few small fish and shrimp slipped through, they would die on the protective shield.

What should be considered now is, should we arrange for all our people to enter Yan Province?
