Chapter 539: Chapter 309: The 6th Era: When the Emperor is Angry, a Million Bodies Lie Prostrate!_2
After Hong Zhen’s defeat, his Dao heart was shattered, and his spirit was entirely lost.
Even if he returned to the Celestial Fate Sect, he would merely be a useless person, incapable of posing any threat.
As for those clan prodigies, after a moment of hesitation, they stepped forward to Yu Xiong. "Senior Yu Xiong, our Fu Xi clan once recorded the Fusang Divine Tree. If you are willing to part with it, I am willing to pay any price!"
The man named Qing Yan, dressed in green, said urgently.
In that ancient war, the Fu Xi clan was completely annihilated, and their bloodline nearly entirely wiped out.
And their lineage, though calling itself the Fu Xi clan, actually belonged to the descendants of the Cyan Emperor, Taihao.
Yet under the oppression of Heaven’s will, they had to change their surname many times, finally having to take Qing as their surname.
The Cyan Emperor, ruling with the virtue of wood, was the Spring Emperor.
He was skilled in herb cultivation and alchemy, with unparalleled mastery in the Wood Dao, and thus was later considered the ancestor of medicine and pharmacology.
By leveraging the legacy left by the Cyan Emperor Taihao, if they could obtain this Fusang Divine Leaf, they might possibly glimpse the secrets of the Fusang Divine Tree.
Perhaps even cultivate the seedling of the Fusang Divine Tree! "To be honest, these ancient wondrous treasures have another owner; I am merely keeping them in trust."
Yu Xiong shook his head, indirectly rejecting Qing Yan’s request.
Even though the Yu Clan won this gamble, he was not blinded by victory.
Quite the contrary.
He was more acutely aware than anyone else.
If not for Lu Yuan’s intervention, the Yu Clan would have miserably lost, with no chance of overturning the outcome.
Despite being deeply tempted by these ancient wondrous treasures, he also understood.
Ancient wondrous treasures, though excellent, require one to possess the life to claim them.
According to the original trajectory of fate.
The Yu Clan’s fate was exhausted, destined to be plundered of all fortune by the Celestial Fate Sect.
But Lu Yuan, with cultivation in the Spirit Embryo Realm, forcefully altered Heaven’s will, extending the Yu Clan’s life unnaturally.
Such earth-shattering, unparalleled means.
Yu Xiong couldn’t even imagine doing such a thing!
Moreover, after personally witnessing Hong Zhen’s tragic fate, how could he dare to covet Lu Yuan’s belongings? "These items have another owner?"
Qing Yan’s expression slightly changed.
He guessed correctly, that the Yu Clan winning this struggle over fortune was indeed the handiwork of a certain great power! "Since this item has an owner, it was presumptuous of me earlier. I just wonder if Senior could make an introduction?"
Qing Yan asked cautiously. "This matter is not for me to decide. Let’s discuss it another day."
Yu Xiong thought for a moment and did not directly refuse.
With the fortune of the Great Wilderness coming to an end, their clans and tribes are all in the same predicament.
If Lu Yuan is willing to stand on the same side as them, it can undoubtedly greatly improve their current difficult situation. "Then I shall take my leave first."
Qing Yan and the others cupped their hands in salute and gradually took their leave of Yu Xiong.
Once they left, Yu Qi and several other elders of the Yu Clan hurriedly inquired. "Clan Leader, based on what you said earlier, is there another secret behind this gamble?"
Yu Qi, having experienced it firsthand, understood better than anyone else how incredible everything just was.
Yu Xiong thought for a moment. When he swore the Great Wilderness Blood Oath earlier, Lu Yuan only asked him not to reveal Lu Yuan’s true identity and did not tell him to keep this matter secret from other clansmen.
Under the questioning of the Yu Clan members.
Yu Xiong pondered briefly and then slightly divulged the course of these events.
To defy Heaven’s will and turn defeat into victory?
It turned out all of this was because of the assistance of a mysterious youth?
Everyone gasped, instantly shocked and tingling with awe. "Our Yu Clan was able to survive this calamity, which is a divine Creation."
As for those ancient wondrous treasures, they are but external possessions, far less important than the safety of our clan! None of you must be greedy!"
Yu Xiong, worried about greed overshadowing reason, immediately warned sternly. "Don’t worry, Clan Leader, we know the importance of the matter." "Only those with great fortune can possess Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Without sufficient power, even holding them in hand will surely invite disaster."
Yu Qi and several elders nodded in agreement.
Remembering the despair and oppression brought by Hong Zhen, they still felt lingering fear to this day.
If not for the mysterious youth’s intervention, the Yu Clan’s fortune would have been entirely plundered.
Where would they be now, standing hear talking so calmly?
And most importantly,
Such an existence capable of contending with Heaven, with Heaven-Reaching means, is definitely not one they can provoke! "It’s good that you understand the gravity of the situation." "I will now go see that young friend; do not divulge today’s events to anyone."
Yu Xiong breathed a sigh of relief, then with a sweep of his large sleeve, collected all his treasures and exotic treasures, and vanished from the Gambling Stone Workshop.
At the same time.
As the observing Qi Refiners departed, this extraordinary struggle for fortune swept across the entire Great Wilderness like a hurricane and quickly reached the ears of all factions throughout the Great Court.
Great Court Imperial Palace.
It was the time of morning court.
When the civil and military officials heard the news, they were all in an uproar, utterly incredulous. "Celestial Fate Sect actually failed, just what is that Hong Zhen Daoist doing?" "Our Great Court is powerful, with fortune at its peak. The Yu Clan’s destiny is exhausted, just a skeleton in a tomb, how can they oppose our Great Court?" "Under heaven, is it not all royal land? Who dares to defy the will of heaven?" "Your Majesty, in my opinion, it would be better to dispatch Celestial Soldiers and completely pacify this barbaric land!"
A brawny man in armor, brimming with anger, immediately requested permission to act.
The man was in his prime, towering over eight feet, his burly figure like a mountain.
His vigorous blood, like a blazing furnace.
His oppressive presence was so terrifying that civil servants and military generals near him felt a sense of suffocation! "Marquis Zhenhuang, you are too impulsive." "The mere Great Wilderness is not fearsome, but the ancient remnants are the real threat." "If we rush to fight, forcing those remnants into a desperate counterattack, it might backfire!"
An official with a different opinion advised tactfully. "Indeed, our previous strategy of sowing discord worked very well." "Just a little bit of insignificant grain and supplies, and the barbarian natives of the Great Wilderness turn against each other, killing one another." "In the long term, the Great Wilderness will collapse without an attack, becoming completely subservient to the Great Court!"
Many civil servants were very satisfied with the current situation and were reluctant to risk opening war.
But the military generals were very dissatisfied with this.
The Great Court Monarch has reigned supreme, enjoying a long era of peace, with no large-scale wars for decades.
For those civil servants, they can become officials through examinations.
But for these military generals, if they don’t have enough military accomplishments, how can they rise in rank, or make fortune? "You pedantic idiots, giving those barbarians of the Great Wilderness white rice and grain, how is it different from aiding the enemy?"
A group of officials was so spirited, they almost fought on the spot. "Enough!"
Just as a pile of civil and military officials were endlessly arguing, a dignified, low voice, like thunder, exploded in their ears.
Their bodies trembled, the noisy hall suddenly fell into dead silence! "The Yu Clan defies the will of heaven, bringing about their own destruction." "Convey my decree, as of today, mobilize millions of troops, channel the full power of the Great Court, and completely pacify the Great Wilderness!"
The Great Court Monarch slowly stood up from the dragon throne and announced in an indisputable tone.
Upon this declaration.
Everyone’s expressions dramatically changed, feeling a chilling murderous intent rushing at them, making it extremely difficult to breathe.
When the Emperor is angered, corpses number a million!
If the previous fortune struggle between the Yu Clan and Celestial Fate Sect was just petty skirmishing, then this time, the Great Court Monarch was definitely serious, willing to pay any cost to sweep away all the desolate remnants!
Even those military generals eagerly requesting battle felt an unimaginable heaviness.
Though they wanted to garner military merit through war, everyone was acutely aware, this war risking the nation is sure to be incredibly brutal, causing countless deaths.
If people die, how can there be talk of promotion and wealth?
But the will of heaven cannot be defied.
And the Great Court Monarch, as the current Emperor, his words are law, no one dares to oppose his will!
Once this imperial edict was issued, the Great Court’s war machine seemed to be activated, starting to operate at full strength.
Above the Great Court Imperial City.
Banners filled the sky, a grand and imposing sight.
One after another, giant warships slowly ascended, carrying countless armored Great Court soldiers, rapidly heading toward the direction of the Great Wilderness.
Even the Military Suppression Bureau, royal experts, the Imperial Court’s Forbidden Army, and all Great Court strong persons were deployed.
Besides.
The spare armies stationed throughout the Great Court also received the order at the same time.
All set off on their journey, like rivers flowing into the sea, rushing to the front lines at the fastest speed!
