Chapter 176 - The South and the South"Long live His Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
"Thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old!"
Hundreds of thousands of people shouted at the same time, and their voices were like thunder as they shot into the sky!Although all of these citizens had their heads down, their gazes quietly landed on the two people in the middle. One was the current ruler of the country, the other was the war G.o.d of the Empire of Feng Yun!
Both of them were top figures that they had never seen before in their lives, but now that they saw each other at the same time, they couldn"t help but be curious. They wanted to see the faces of these two people clearly!
However, their gazes were mostly focused on that snow-white figure!
They were all curious in their hearts. What did this powerful va.s.sal lord, who stood shoulder to shoulder with the emperor, the war G.o.d of a nation that used troops like a G.o.d, who fought victorious hundreds of battles like a G.o.d, this demon G.o.d that was called the "Blood Butcher" by other countries, exactly look like?Could it be that the rumours were true? The latter had three heads and six arms, and his expression was hideous like a wolf or a tiger?
Naturally, the outcome was out of everyone"s expectation. The valiant looking man standing before them gave off an air of elegance. He walked shoulder to shoulder with the emperor. Although he did not have a smile on his face, he appeared approachable.
Everyone was a bit surprised because the war G.o.d of the Wind Cloud Country was unable to match his various legendary t.i.tles. Could it be that the rumors were wrong that the three of them had truly become tigers?
How could such an elegant man be worthy of the t.i.tle of Blood Butcher? He could ma.s.sacre ten countries, lift up the heavy burden of a country"s safety, and now, he was going to go forth to suppress them.
Maybe the world has a strange idea,They believed that those who could accomplish great deeds that ordinary people were unable to accomplish should have different appearances from ordinary people. Perhaps this was the so-called "one should judge a person by his appearance".
The civil and military officials, as well as the citizens of the city, kneeled down to send off the two people. The two of them walked past them before slowly rising to their feet.
Among them, there was a man with tiger-like eyes who stood up and looked at Xiang Ling"s back. His gaze was as dark as water and filled with an irreconcilable hatred.At the same time, in front of him, there was a valiant general with a resolute expression and a mole on his forehead. As he stared at Xiang Tian"s back, his face was filled with hatred, malice, and malevolence!
It wasn"t only those two. Many of the officials and n.o.bles stood up and looked at the white figure, their eyes full of jealousy or hatred.
As for Xiang Lingfeng, he seemed to be able to see the gazes of those people as he walked beside Xiang Lingfeng. A cold smile appeared on his originally calm face. It was a smile of disdain, a look of arrogance!
His Majesty the Emperor had walked the entire time, sending Xiang Tian three miles away from the city gates. Such treatment had existed since ancient times, but at this moment, everyone felt it was natural!
When Xiang Lingfeng stopped, so did Xiang Tian!
"Royal brother, I won"t say anything more. When you return from the victory, I will personally arrange a banquet to celebrate for you!"Xiang Tian turned around to look at Xiang Lingfeng, a warm smile on his face as he nodded, "Alright, Imperial Brother, in three months time, I will bring Thunder, Fleeting Sun, and we will head to Dragon City to meet Imperial Brother!"
The smile on Xiang Lingfeng"s face grew even wider!
"As expected of the war G.o.d of my Wind Cloud Country. I"ve been waiting for you to return in three months, and I can still make it in time for the Grand Examination. With my talent in thunder and lightning, I"ll definitely be able to enter the Wind Cloud Academy."
Xiang Tian shook his head with a faint smile, "No, royal brother, these two children walk the same path as me. The sect"s cultivation isn"t suitable for them. On the battlefield, killing to verify their dao is the most suitable path for them."
Hearing this, Xiang Lingfeng was slightly startled, but immediately laughed out loud, "Haha, that"s right, my two nephews are also powerful generals on the battlefield. They have already done a great deed at such a young age, they will definitely be the next generation war G.o.d of our Wind Cloud Country!"
Xiang Tian said with a solemn expression, "No matter how great their future achievements are, they are still members of the Wind Cloud Nation"s Xiang Family. They will forever protect the nation"s territory and serve royal brother."
Xiang Lingfeng smiled and nodded, "Royal brother, the rivers and mountains that royal father left behind all those years ago were indeed unable to flourish with my power alone. If you want to govern the nation"s peace, plan for thousands of years, and settle matters peacefully, you will need to rely on royal brother"s help!"
"What are you saying, Emperor Xi? It is your duty to protect the peace of the Wind and Cloud countries."Xiang Lingfeng nodded his head in satisfaction as he reached out his hand to pat Xiang Tian"s shoulder. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something as he said to Xiang Tian.
"That"s right, I haven"t seen Yun"er in years. Your royal brother can bring Yun"er to the Dragon City in three months" time. Our big family is gathered together, and the Grand Examination is so lively. Why is there so little of him?"
When Xiang Lingtian heard Xiang Lingfeng mention Xiang Yun, his expression was as calm as ever. He simply smiled and nodded, "Alright, when younger brother comes, he will also bring Yun"er here to pay his respects."
"Royal brother, if there are no other orders, I"ll take my leave first!"
"I"ll leave the hundred years of calamity in the southern region of the Wind Cloud Country to you. I wish you success, royal brother!"Xiang Lingfeng"s voice was loud and clear like thunder, exploding in the air. Everyone outside the city could hear him clearly!
"Yes!"Along with a similarly deep voice that exploded in the air, everyone saw the snow-white armored Xiang Tian suddenly soar into the sky like a G.o.d that had descended from heaven. With a single step, he flew towards the huge army of 100,000 miles away!
"Let"s go!"
"Yes sir!"The next moment, the huge army of 100,000 moved out at the same time, all moving in unison. The cavalry, infantry, chariots, and giant food-transport chariots all gathered together, forming a mighty current of steel. Accompanied by the shaking of the earth, the huge army of 100,000 marched towards the southern border!
Looking at the metal torrent quickly leaving and the sand filling the sky, the citizens outside the city cheered and cheered. They shouted "Long live the battle" just to cheer "War G.o.d"!
Amidst the cheers, there was a smile on the face of the only person standing in the middle of the road, but there was also frost in his eyes.
He lowered his head to look at the majestic Nine-clawed Golden Dragon in front of his chest. This was the symbol of a legendary being. He only felt that at this moment, it was more like a silent mockery!He raised his head once again and looked into the distance, looking at that blinding snow-white spot amidst the black ma.s.s as he softly muttered.
"There can only be one True Dragon, royal brother, I am sorry, but I think my royal father will understand and understand my painstaking efforts!"
Subtle sounds, drowned out by the noise of the crowdAs for the south, it was already night time when the huge army of 100,000 had been marching for half a day. The army had set up camp in the "Yongming Pa.s.s", which was about three hundred miles away from the Dragon City.
This was not only because most of the soldiers in the Merak Continent were warriors, but more importantly, these soldiers were riding the Black Haired Hawk Horse that was unique to the northwest.
This horse"s head was shorter and sharper than an ordinary horse"s, but its body was taller than an ordinary horse. Its limbs were well-developed and its tendons were tough. It possessed both endurance and explosive strength.Even a heavy armored cavalry soldier could travel five hundred miles a day on a horse. It was almost comparable to the speed of some Cloud Beasts, and the load they carried was even greater than that of many Cloud Beasts.
Furthermore, this was an ordinary cavalry unit from the northwest. If it were the Snow Wolf Camp which was under the command of the Shoulder King, the speed of their march would be even more unimaginable.However, Xiang Tian had not dispatched his Snow Wolf Camp this time. It was clear that he did not believe that conquering two island kingdoms would require him to use his own Snow Wolf Camp. This was not arrogance, but absolute confidence!
At this moment, within the Commander"s tent in the middle of the camp, Xiang Ling, who was sitting upright on the Commander"s chair, had just finished his discussion with a few generals.
The latter wasn"t tiring in the least because he was too used to it. After every battle, Xiang Tian would spend a quarter of an hour to think about everything that had happened that day, as well as his own orders, to ensure that there were no flaws!Suddenly, Xiang Tian opened his eyes!
In the next moment, the door of the tent slightly moved. With a gust of wind, an old man appeared within the tent!Dressed in hemp, the elder had a Scarlet Wine Gourd hanging by his waist. His nose was red, and he was hiccuping as he walked unsteadily, as though he would fall down at any moment.
The instant the old man appeared, Xiang Tian was already smiling.
"Uncle Liang, why have you come so late in the night?"The elder curled his lips and coldly snorted, "Hmph, what is the matter? As your father, you don"t care about your own son, but an old man like me would run and break my leg."
"Haha, thank you for your care, Uncle Liang. This son of mine didn"t offend you, right?"The old man waved his hand and said angrily, "Don"t you know about your own son? "Good wine, good hooking up, good s.e.x is hard to learn, you are causing trouble everywhere."
After speaking, the old man"s expression changed and he revealed a smile, "But don"t say it, when I was young, I was like that too. We have the same taste. I like this kid"s evil temper, haha!"When Xiang Lingtian heard this, black lines immediately appeared on his forehead. He inwardly wondered if it was a wise move to arrange this person to protect Old Third. Could Old Third have been led astray by this old man?
"Cough cough, what kind of expression is that? I, this old man, have already changed my mind for many years. Boy, don"t doubt my character!"
Xiang Tian smiled awkwardly, "I believe in Uncle Liang"s character."
"I …" The old man"s expression was even uglier than crying.
"Hey you brat, your Ol "Three"s ability to turn black into white, make deer into horse, and turn black into white is much stronger than your dad"s ability. How do you know to tell the truth?"Xiang Tian felt rather helpless. Shaking his head, he said, "Uncle Liang, how has this kid been recently? Has his cultivation improved?"
The old man nodded, "Speaking of cultivation, this kid"s improvement is quite fast. However, his body is quite strange."
"I can clearly feel it. There is a slight fluctuation of Yun Li"s energy in his body, but when I check his body, I can"t feel any spirit root. Maybe this kid really is practicing some kind of body refining cultivation technique."When Xiang Tian heard this, his eyes focused in thought for a moment before finally nodding his head, "If he can really bear the pain of Body Tempering, then there"s no harm in it."
"In the future, if he has talent, I will pay a price to purchase a set of the Allied Trade a.s.sociation"s Kun Zhou for him to cultivate in the Raging Light Continent. He can also continue to cultivate even with the wild power to refine his body there!"
When the old man heard this, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "This is a feasible method, but it"s not easy to get the quota to travel across the continent. The old man heard this, and after hesitating for a moment, he said," It"s a feasible method, but it"s not easy to obtain a quota to traverse the continent.
"Do you think we should give it a try and pray for a portion of G.o.d"s Water at the Merak Shrine? I heard that this Deity"s Water is capable of allowing one"s spiritual roots to grow naturally, with the divine ability of Creation. "
"Merak Temple!" The moment he heard these words, the previously indifferent Xiang Ling"s expression suddenly turned cold, as if a layer of frost had covered his face!
The old man only felt a domineering baleful aura radiate out from Xiang Tian"s body. That terrifying killing intent and Ling Ran"s imposing manner actually caused him to feel a trace of oppression and coldness in his heart!
"I, Xiang Lingtian, will never beg her. Even if my son doesn"t have spiritual roots in his lifetime, he"ll never be able to become a talent. At worst, I"ll protect him for the rest of his life!"
Xiang Tian"s voice was ice-cold, filled with a deep hatred!
"After so many years, can you still not forget the hatred?" The old man sighed."I don"t dare to forget, I can"t forget, I won"t forget!" Xiang Tian had only said these nine words!
"Sigh …"
The old man let out a long sigh as he thought back to everything that had happened in the past. He also sighed with emotion.
