Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Disgrace of Shenzhou

"Soldiers, obey!" the Great Xuan King shouted loudly.

"Roar~~~~~"

The army roared in unison, shaking the heavens.

"When I was absent, Dongfang Marquis Zhong Shan commanded the three armies to fully recover the Great Yu Dynasty!" the Great Xuan King issued his command.

With this command, all the marshals hesitated for a moment, but no one dared to defy the Great Xuan King!

"Yes!" the three armies simultaneously roared.

Why Zhong Shan? On the one hand, it was to appease Zhong Shan, and on the other hand, Zhong Shan was the planner behind the Tianbeng Plan. Everything was orchestrated by Zhong Shan, so logically, he should continue to lead.

The Great Xuan King was leaving?

Zhong Shan frowned slightly.

Just then, the Great Xuan King fell silent. His eyes locked firmly on the distance, on Nalan Piaoxue.

The two men stared at each other, neither moving, as if engaged in a spiritual confrontation.

Externally, it seemed calm, but in their spiritual worlds, a storm was surely brewing!

Such a level of confrontation was beyond the reach of Zhong Shan and the others. Even the Tiger Clan Prince, Yintiger, might have intervened, but he wasn\'t there! He just stared coldly with anger.

As the two men locked eyes, Zhong Shan could see a slight ripple in the air between them.

Suddenly, right in the center of their distant gaze, a burst of bright light flashed.

"Bang~~~~~"

A super explosion rang out, like a momentary explosion of stars. Though not dazzling, in the center of the distance, it seemed as if an additional sun had appeared. A powerful airflow radiated out from the explosion in all directions.

All the endless trees on the mountain bowed their heads, and the central mountain itself was leveled by this explosion.

Watching this scene, Zhong Shan took a deep breath.

A powerhouse—this was what a powerhouse was. Without any spells, just locking eyes could generate such explosive force.

Zhong Shan believed that if this explosion had focused on him, he would be finished.

In other words, his current strength was still no match for the power emanating from the Great Xuan King\'s gaze?

Looking into the distance, Zhong Shan clenched his fists. He wasn\'t discouraged because he always believed that he could reach such heights himself—or even surpass them!

"Nalan Piaoxue!" the Great Xuan King called out solemnly.

"Gu Xuan!" Nalan Piaoxue called out from afar.

Both of their voices were not very loud, but strangely, they spread throughout the entire battlefield, reaching everyone\'s ears.

"You broke through?" the Great Xuan King asked in a deep voice.

"A month ago, it was you who helped me achieve it!" Nalan Piaoxue revealed a faint smile.

"Do you want to fight me?" the Great Xuan King frowned, staring at Nalan Piaoxue in the distance.

"In this vast world, it\'s hard to find a worthy opponent!" Nalan Piaoxue said solemnly.

Indeed, at their level, finding an opponent was difficult—or rather, there were fewer. The Emperor of the Great Luo Dynasty didn\'t regard their strength highly and naturally wouldn\'t make a move. Those at the same level were restrained in various ways. Just like in the previous battle with the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva, Nalan Piaoxue was so eager.

Now that the Great Xuan King had arrived and Nalan Piaoxue had just made a breakthrough, he naturally didn\'t want to miss this opportunity.

"Then follow me!" the Great Xuan King shouted.

Suddenly, Yintiger lunged towards the sky, carrying the Great Xuan King, shooting rapidly towards the rear.

In the high sky, Zhong Shan couldn\'t see the figures of the Great Xuan King and Yintiger. All he saw was a shooting star passing swiftly towards the north in the distance.

Similarly, Nalan Piaoxue ascended into the air, a surge of qi dispersing all the clouds in the sky. His body then transformed into a meteor, flashing across the sky in an instant, chasing after the Great Xuan King towards the far rear.

Such a level of combat couldn\'t take place on this battlefield, as it would inevitably cause countless deaths and injuries, even destroying cities. Nalan Piaoxue didn\'t mind, but the Great Xuan King didn\'t want it to happen.

With the Great Xuan King departing, all the commanders looked towards Zhong Shan. The Great Xuan King had instructed that in his absence, Zhong Shan would have full authority.

Zhong Shan slowly walked forward, looking towards the distant city. Although he couldn\'t see the specific situation inside, he knew that Yi Yan was there!

Lowering his head slightly, Zhong Shan said, "Divide the army into fifteen routes, each to capture one of the fifteen cities. Gather at the last five cities!"

"Yes!" the three armies shouted in unison.

The other marshals led their respective troops, charging towards different cities.

Zhong Shan and Princess Qianyou led their troops towards Dayu City. Upon arriving, the city gates were wide open, and the defenders surrendered.

Zhong Shan thoroughly searched the entire city but found no trace of Yi Yan or Iron Blood. With the dispersal of the troops, Yi Yan could safely leave!

Without hesitation, Zhong Shan swiftly led the army past Dayu City, a dam that had obstructed the forces of the Great Luo Dynasty for nearly a year!

The dam was breached, and they surged towards the distant Sky City.

The fifteen armies converged once more.

Subsequently, Zhong Shan led the army southward. All the cities they passed had already surrendered to the Great Luo Dynasty. Therefore, Zhong Shan led the imperial troops swiftly and without hindrance!

A month and a half later, Zhong Shan led tens of millions of troops and arrived outside the Sky City.

During this period, the Great Xuan King had not appeared. Regardless of what happened, Zhong Shan followed his mission.

Reclaiming the Sky City, they completely took over the Qi Luck of the Great Yu Dynasty.

Standing outside the Sky City, Zhong Shan looked towards the distant cities. The Sky City was still the Sky City of old, but many things had changed immensely.

The gates of the Sky City were wide open, indicating that the defenders had already surrendered! All the marshals looked at Zhong Shan.

Zhong Shan did not order an entry into the city but stood and looked at the 2,000-meter-high white jade city from a distance.

Above the Sky City, the last time he came, it was shrouded in a golden mist, an endless sea of Qi Luck condensed into a golden ocean, churning and rolling in the air. At the same time, a huge Qi Luck Golden Dragon continuously breathed out the Qi Luck of the Dynasty, pointing its horns towards the heavens, carrying the mandate of heaven. Incredibly domineering and proud!

But now, the golden mist had almost dissipated, and the Qi Luck was continuously draining. Only the Qi Luck Golden Dragon seemed extremely exhausted, as if it could disappear at any moment but stubbornly persisted.

The Qi Luck Golden Dragon! It\'s fortunate that it arrived in time; Emperor Nalan has not yet died!

"Enter the city!" Zhong Shan ordered. The white tiger under his feet carried Zhong Shan towards the Sky City.

The defenders of the Sky City had indeed surrendered. There were no ambushes; Nalan Dayanjing had fled. With the city already in chaos, who would resist again?

Of course, there was still some resistance, but these loyalists of the Great Yu Dynasty were slaughtered by the surrendered generals without Zhong Shan\'s intervention!

ZhongShan entered the city! In the past, there was no chance to explore Emperor Nalan\'s palace, but now there was an opportunity.

Approaching closer, Zhong Shan did not enter but instead looked at the endless palaces shrouded in clouds and mist, radiating from a huge mountain.

It was needless to guess that the valuable items inside had surely been thoroughly searched by eunuchs and treacherous generals.

The vast palace, endless in its grandeur, appeared imposing from the outside, exuding Emperor Nalan\'s aura, constantly impressing upon everyone a sense of oppression from a superior.

"Men, burn down the palace!" Zhong Shan ordered!

"Yes!" the generals immediately responded.

"Burn it down?" One of the marshals looked at Zhong Shan in confusion.

"Burn it!" Zhong Shan ignored him and continued to give orders.

Of course, the generals followed Zhong Shan\'s orders. This time, fifty thousand troops were mobilized to start fires from all sides of the palace.

Burn! Burn! Burn!

Why burn it? Zhong Shan had never intentionally destroyed any captured city! What was this for? Did Zhong Shan want to flaunt to the world that he had destroyed the Great Yu Dynasty? That he, Zhong Shan, had set fire to the Great Yu Palace?

Zhong Shan was not that superficial. Why burn it? Qi Luck! Zhong Shan aimed to seize the Qi Luck. If the Great Xuan King were here, he would also order the palace to be burned down.

The palace, the home of the emperor, was the root of the Great Yu Dynasty. Symbolically, burning the palace meant burning the foundation of the Great Yu Dynasty, even though this foundation was already in ruins, it still existed.

At the same time, this palace was the fundamental core of the Qi Luck connecting to the Great Yu Dynasty!

With the Qi Luck locked in place, now gathered here, Zhong Shan set it on fire!

"Roar~"

In the high sky, the Qi Luck Golden Dragon emitted a super sad roar.

The mournful roar made everyone below slightly tremble.

"Burn! Continue burning!" Zhong Shan ordered sternly.

"Yes!" The troops continued to set fires.

The raging fire soared into the sky, its flames reaching high into the clouds. The immense blaze was so strong that everyone in the Sky City could see it.

Countless people stared dumbfoundedly at this scene. After the country\'s fall and the burning of the palace, they no longer harbored patriotism or loyalty to the emperor. Yet, at this moment, as the nation perished and the palace burned, everyone inexplicably felt a deep sense of nostalgia—for the Great Yu Dynasty, for the Great Yu Palace, and for the faith and pride they once held.

"From today onwards, the Great Yu Dynasty is expelled from the land of Shenzhou!" Zhong Shan declared with finality. It was as if he was proclaiming to the world or reporting to the heavens.

"Boom~"

A thunderous roar echoed through the heavens and earth, as if responding to Zhong Shan\'s words.

"Roar~"

On the Sky City above, the struggling Qi Luck Golden Dragon, which was on the verge of disappearing, emitted another mournful roar. Then, with a face full of hatred, it stared down at Zhong Shan. Amidst its lament, it dove straight towards Zhong Shan!
