"This matter is extraordinary, so please be prepared." Xu Feixiong paused for a moment and spoke casually.
"The emperor has passed away, the dynasty has fallen, the world is falling apart, and chaos has begun."
After this brief sentence, the hall fell into dead silence. Many people frowned deeply, almost thinking that he was joking. For such a huge dynasty, with countless armored soldiers and powerful local governments, how could it collapse and scatter so easily with just one sentence?
"General Xu, are you serious? Military law is ruthless. You know the consequences of disrupting the morale of the army." Zhuo Muye asked word by word with a heavy face.
"I'm not kidding." He answered firmly, and then made half a space.
"This is the current Princess Linbing, the legitimate daughter of Prince Huainan, Her Highness Xiao Yubing."
Everyone's gaze shifted to the woman in the gray-black coat. She took off her dark robe, revealing a gorgeous dress with a black background and a phoenix pattern underneath. Then she stepped forward and narrated everything that had happened in Luojing and the Phoenix Fire Edict issued by the emperor.
Inside the hall, the generals listened in silence as the princess described what had happened in Luojing that day. The expressions on their faces changed several times, and the atmosphere became increasingly oppressive.
…
"So, after that, Li Jingfang and Prince Zhaolong seized the imperial edict and placed me under house arrest. Later, I was rescued by Lord Xu." After saying all this, Xiao Yubing slowly stopped.
However, Zhuo Muye did not answer immediately. Even this world-famous general was lost in thought.
"We still need to confirm today's matter. Come, send the two of you down to rest first."
Immediately, several guards came forward and escorted or monitored the two people out of the hall.
Soon after, someone began to suggest, "We should send people to Luojing as soon as possible to investigate and verify."
"Indeed, but if what that person said is true." For a moment, the hall fell silent again.
Although the authenticity of the news cannot be fully confirmed at present, most people present actually believe it, simply because the news that came this time perfectly explains everything that has happened in the past twenty years.
Why did Chi Feng retreat and disappear, why did disasters occur frequently in the world, why did Concubine Yao Xin and the prince die of sudden illness, why is the Shang family gradually becoming alienated from the dynasty, and why is the climate in the north becoming increasingly cold and there are constant beast tides.
"The world is in chaos." A long sigh echoed in the hall for a long time.
————
After settling down in this Beifu mountain city, for three days, there were knights riding dragons and eagles flying back and forth in the sky, as well as various messengers and express riders entering and leaving this huge city. Slowly, waves of uneasiness spread in the city.
With the news of wars and rebellions in the south and the Central Plains, the people in Beifu Mountain are now speculating and discussing the current situation. Many wealthy families have begun to stockpile food in preparation for future troubles. Compared with the past, the number of cavalry and guards patrolling the city has increased several times.
On the fourth day, accompanied by bursts of exclamations, figures clad in deep green emerged from the air. They carried bronze swords and bore three emerald green marks between their brows. Their strength was extraordinary, all above the fifth rank. Although there were only a few hundred of them, they represented the will of the Green Pine Peacock Mountain, a fact that filled many with trepidation.
After a brief greeting, the seven true disciples in the lead walked into the general's mansion in the center. In addition to Zhuo Muye, there were also several people wearing gorgeous clothes embroidered with gold. They were members of the Jinzhan Xuanhua Mansion.
After a simple bow, the leading disciple spoke directly.
"Greetings, General Zhuo. I'm here today to discuss an important matter."
"When the emperor lost his way, the dynasty fell. The foundation of the current dynasty no longer exists, and heroes have risen up across the world."
"General Zhuo, why don't you abandon the dark and join the light, return power to its ancient ways, and rebuild the Kingdom of Qingluan?"
In the distant past, this wasteland and grassland was the territory where the descendants of Qingluan lived. What this disciple said was not without basis.
"You! Are you planning a rebellion on Peacock Mountain?" Before Zhuo Muye could respond, the member of the Jinzhan Xuanhua Mansion sitting next to him stood up angrily and scolded him.
Although the emperor has passed away, since the document has been issued in Luojing and King Dai and King Huainan are still there, the members of the Jinzhan Xuanhua Palace have not given up. They always keep hope, hoping that Beifu Mountain and the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed there will still be under the command of the dynasty. Then they just need to wait for the two kings and one emperor to decide the winner.
"Hmph." Facing these Dragon Patrolmen from the Jinzhan Xuanhua Mansion, the true disciple's eyes turned cold and he drew his sword directly. A green shadow slashed across and knocked down the Dragon Patrolman who was unable to react in time.
Immediately, his fellow disciples behind him also quickly drew their swords and attacked decisively. The cold and sharp sword light flashed quickly in the hall. Although the remaining few Dragon Patrol Envoys put up some resistance, they were ultimately no match for these disciples from the big sects who came to visit. They soon fell one by one without a sound.
Waving his hand to wipe off the blood on the blade, the true disciple slowly put the sword back into the scabbard, then turned around again and looked at the general sitting in the center of the hall.
"The king is unjust, which led to the death of the Red Phoenix. The descendants of the Five Phoenixes in the world are free to kill him. I beg General Zhuo to forgive me."
Looking at the dead body in the hall, Zhuo Muye now understood in his heart that this was a warning and coercion from the powerful sect, and now he could no longer continue to be loyal to the dynasty as in the past.
The death of Chi Feng directly caused the direct lineage passed down by Wu Feng to break with the dynasty. Due to the friendship between other descendants and Chi Feng in the past, it was difficult for them to continue to stand on the side of the dynasty. Perhaps most of them would split from the dynasty. Now it was time for him to take sides and make a choice.
"I'll wait..." He closed his eyes slightly, then opened them and slowly looked around. He saw that all the generals present were waiting for him to speak.
