For three days and three nights, lightning struck the sky above Donghai City, engulfing the entire city. Countless demons and demon warriors were slaughtered, leaving no one alive.
This scene shocked the entire Great Xia Dynasty, and even the whole world, causing an uproar.
Had we known that Donghai City, which housed nearly a third of the demonic forces, would be completely wiped out, it would have been an incredibly devastating loss. This battle even reshaped the entire world order.
The world was in an uproar, every country was in an uproar!
"Holy crap, have you heard? Donghai City has been recaptured, and all the demons and monsters have been slaughtered."
"Nonsense, with such a huge commotion, how could we not know? The entire Donghai City was shrouded in lightning, which struck for three days and three nights. The whole world knows."
"I heard that the Mountain and River Army made their move, returning from beyond the heavens and utterly defeating the demons."
"Slaughtering demons and monsters, what a magnificent feat!"
...
Throughout the Great Xia Dynasty, and even in countries around the world, people were buzzing with discussion. Countless people were stunned, especially when they saw the images of Lin Xuan slaying powerful demons and the Mountain and River Army slaughtering a large army of demons. They were all dumbfounded.
Exclamations of surprise echoed through the sky.
at the same time.
The Great Xia Dynasty, its capital.
"My lord, Donghai City has been recaptured, and the Shanhe Army has won!" Inside an ancient mansion, a middle-aged man said to the old man with a solemn expression, "You... should make a decision!"
"Yes, it's time to make a decision!"
A glint of light flashed in the old man's slightly weathered eyes, and he muttered to himself, "I never thought he'd actually succeed. If he succeeds... things will be simpler, but also more troublesome..."
The middle-aged man stood quietly behind the old man. As his confidant, he naturally understood the meaning behind the old man's words.
It's simple now. It means that Lin Xuan led the Shanhe Army to take over Donghai City. The rest is easy. Driving the demons out of Daxia will be effortless.
The trouble that followed was naturally because of Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan returned from the Outer Heavens with the Mountain and River Army, not because the East Sea had fallen, but to vent his anger. Unfortunately, this matter involved someone the old man valued highly. With Lin Xuan about to unleash a massacre, the old man was troubled about how to quell Lin Xuan's rage.
"Order that everyone on the list be arrested." The old man gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Before the Mountain and River Army leaves the East Sea, arrest them all. Consider it a great gift I'm giving them..."
"Yes, sir..."
After the man responded, he cautiously asked, "And what about the other one?"
The old man fell into deep thought. He knew perfectly well who the man was referring to—his own heartache, a close friend he valued even more than his own juniors. This was the greatest problem weighing on his mind.
Because everyone else's problem was easily solved, but this one was the only one he couldn't make up his mind about, and it's been troubling him ever since.
"Alright, don't do anything to him yet. I will go and talk to Lin Xuan myself..." After a long while, the old man finally let out a long sigh.
"Yes, sir!"
Upon hearing this, the man felt a deep sense of melancholy.
As expected, the adult made this decision in the end; in fact, it was all within his prediction.
However, making this decision was also an ordeal for the adults. The main concern was that the adults might not be able to get what they wanted. He knew Lin Xuan well; he wasn't someone who would listen to advice, not even his own adults.
However, although he knew it in his heart, he dared not say too much, let alone express his speculation, because he knew the old man's personality very well.
After giving a soft reply, the man immediately turned and left. He still had many things to do. Each person on that list had extensive connections and powerful backgrounds, and taking them all down would not be an easy task.
Moreover, this was before Lin Xuan led the Shanhe Army back to Fengle City from Donghai City, so time was even more of a constraint, and he couldn't afford to waste a single second.
...
at the same time!
The news that Lin Xuan led the Mountain and River Army to reclaim the East Sea and annihilate all the demons and monsters there continued to spread, reaching the entire Great Xia Dynasty and then the whole world.
Countless people are discussing and raging about this.
At this moment, Lin Xuan led the Shanhe Army away from Donghai City. However, to the astonishment of countless people, Lin Xuan did not return to his hometown of Fengle City, but instead headed straight for the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty. This move was completely unexpected and caught many off guard.
No one knew why Lin Xuan was going to the capital. Countless people were on edge because of this, since Lin Xuan was leading the Shanhe Army to the capital. If he had any ulterior motives, it would be a disaster for the entire Great Xia!
However, even though they knew Lin Xuan was a huge threat, no one dared to stand up and criticize him at this moment, because they knew very well that standing up at this time would be tantamount to courting death. They didn't even need Lin Xuan to take action; the spittle of the people would be enough to drown them.
"Lin Xuan went to the capital. What's he up to?"
"Who knows what he's up to, but I'm sure it's not going to be anything good."
"Nonsense, is there even a need to say it? It's definitely not a good thing!"
"I think it's most likely related to his return from the Outer Heavens. I heard that someone colluded with demons and evil spirits to kidnap the families of the soldiers of the Mountain and River Army in an attempt to threaten them. Now that the East Sea has been recovered and the demons and evil spirits have been wiped out, I'm afraid Lin Xuan will next target those traitors and lackeys!"
...
At this moment, countless people were speculating, and there was a great deal of discussion.
At the same time, countless eyes were fixed on Lin Xuan and the Shanhe Army. They were naturally eager to see how Lin Xuan would act after arriving in the capital. Lin Xuan and the Shanhe Army had now become top figures, and their every move was enough to change the entire landscape of the Great Xia Dynasty.
No one dared to underestimate them anymore.
What no one knew, or was aware of, was that while everyone was focused on Lin Xuan and the Shanhe Army, a crackdown and a purge were taking place within the Great Xia territory.
One by one, famous figures or wealthy young men with powerful backgrounds were taken away without any reason.
The troops mobilized were all the most elite soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot.
An invisible storm swept across the entire Great Xia Dynasty in just a few hours, causing countless people to fall from power without warning, and many even became prisoners before they could even figure out what was going on.
What no one knows is that this storm was also started by Lin Xuancai.
