Gu Yifeng spoke slowly. He had long included Song Wuyai on his kill list. From the very beginning, his aim was to force him to reveal information about the forces behind those three great nations.
Regardless of whether Song Wuyai's words were true or false, he still needed to make some preparations. At present, it seemed that the strength of the late-stage peak of the Opening Mansion Realm was unreliable, but it would also be quite difficult to break through to the Condensation Realm in a short period of time.
Temporarily putting aside his thoughts, Gu Yifeng's spiritual energy changed, and the Longquan Sword behind him instantly unleashed a sword light, blasting open the city wall of the Chu Kingdom's border, allowing the army behind him to advance straight in.
With Song Wuyai dead, the soldiers lost all will to fight and immediately raised the white flag to surrender.
On the other side, King Cheng also launched an attack on the border of Chu from Han. Although the two sides had not yet exchanged intelligence, given the current situation in Chu, the sooner they invaded, the less likely there would be any unforeseen events.
The two armies, totaling 200,000 men, simultaneously stormed into the Chu Kingdom. They marched triumphantly, and the Chu army showed no desire to resist whatsoever, allowing Gu Yifeng and King Cheng to join forces and finally reach the Chu capital.
Outside the Chu Kingdom's palace, the Emperor of Chu had already prepared the Imperial Jade Pendant and other items. Upon seeing Gu Yifeng and his group, he handed them over immediately, without the slightest hint of force.
The remaining matters were no longer Gu Yifeng's concern. He delegated all affairs to Fang Xuan and others in the capital, and the capital instantly became busy.
While the court was bustling with activity, the officials of the Great Chu and Great Han kingdoms couldn't be idle either. After all, with such a vast territory, it was only natural that each person would be responsible for their original position to ensure that the region wouldn't descend into chaos before the new policies were implemented.
Even so, a large number of officials from both countries were still detained by the King of Cheng, surrounded by troops, and sent to Daqian. In the end, Fang Xuan and others would decide their fate.
As for Gu Yifeng himself, he traveled back and forth between the three kingdoms, hoping to find some unusual places to sign in. Before leaving, he also told Prince Cheng that as long as the border between the three kingdoms was lit, he would go to the capital to contact him as soon as he saw it.
About ten days after Song Wuyai's fall, the entire world was violently shaken, the sky and earth changed color, and a huge force seemed to descend from the horizon.
Gu Yifeng, who was originally signing in deep in the mountains, suddenly looked up, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes. Then, his figure kept flashing as he rushed towards the capital of the Chu Kingdom, which was the closest to him.
The fluctuations in the heavens and earth continued for a full incense stick's time before slowly subsiding. Suddenly, a blinding burst of light erupted from a secret chamber hidden in the ruins within the Chu Kingdom's palace.
Before everyone's eyes, an array was set up, its light lasting for about ten breaths, and then a figure appeared in mid-air above the Great Chu Imperial Palace.
A powerful pressure instantly emanated from that figure, suppressing everyone in the palace who tried to move to the ground in an instant.
"Concentration Realm!"
Standing at the palace gate, Prince Cheng, the person in charge of the Great Chu, was extremely unsettled. Based solely on his intuition and the overwhelming pressure, he could guess the level of that figure.
Perhaps sensing the gaze of Prince Cheng, the figure slowly turned its head and instantly appeared beside Gu Cheng. Only then did everyone see the figure's appearance clearly; it was a man.
He wore a green robe, had long hair, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a cold expression. He looked at everyone as if they were livestock, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
"You're one of the big shots? Tell me, who killed Song Wuyai?"
The man in the blue robe spoke calmly, and his single sentence sent a chill down one's spine, clearly not a question.
"Yes, it is the new emperor of Da Gan, Gu Yifeng."
Faced with a life-or-death crisis, Gu Cheng couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance. He immediately revealed the truth, feeling a sense of helplessness. The situation was beyond his control; the power of the Condensation Realm was completely beyond his imagination.
"Gu Yifeng? Judging by the timeline, oh, the Crown Prince of Da Gan. He's quite fast. When I saw him in the Water Mirror last year, he was still at the early stage of the Dingyuan Realm, with no special features. He's not even as good as the second prince."
Upon hearing Gu Cheng's words, the man in the blue robe began to speak on his own, making Gu Cheng feel a chill run down his spine.
Even though he was just talking to himself, the amount of information he conveyed was enormous. It was all the details of what they had done a year ago, and this person could remember them all as if they were his own treasures.
"The person you're looking for is me. Let them go."
Just as Gu Cheng was about to cry, a cold voice rang out. Outside the Great Chu Imperial Palace, a figure in bright yellow stood, none other than Gu Yifeng. After a rapid journey, he finally managed to arrive after an hour.
"Oh? Late-stage peak of the Opening Mansion Realm, earth-attribute divine soul, not bad, top-notch aptitude, worthy of being registered. It's a pity that you killed Song Wuyai, oh, and Gu Ran, and destroyed the regimes of Great Chu and Great Han. According to the Heavenly Laws of the Lower Realm, you should be reincarnated."
When the man in the blue robe saw Gu Yifeng, he didn't change at all. A huge flow of information surged in his eyes, and he saw through all of Gu Yifeng's information. He stammered for a while to confirm, and finally finished speaking.
Do you have any rebuttal?
Seeing that Gu Yifeng did not react, the man in the blue robe asked again.
"I did have one, but I don't want to ask now. Do you have a travel permit on you?"
Gu Yifeng shook his head upon hearing this, and then asked a question in return. However, what responded to him was a palm strike that came to his face in an instant. It seemed light and airy, but it was impossible to dodge.
With a single palm strike, a tremendous force erupted, sending him flying backward. He crashed through ten palace walls before finally coming to a stop, a burning pain shooting through his chest.
This was the first time Gu Yifeng had suffered such a serious injury since acquiring the system. Fortunately, it only affected his bones and muscles, and there was no internal injury.
After getting up from the ruins, he brushed the dust off his body, his spiritual energy surged, and his shattered ice armor was repaired. His expression finally improved.
"Sorry, you're tougher than I expected, but you won't miss again. As the fat sheep, just accept your fate of being harvested."
The man in the blue robe remained unchanged, his eyes narrowed slightly, but a chilling murderous intent was revealed in his smile.
"You can give it a try."
Such a dismissive attitude stirred a genuine anger within Gu Yifeng, just as it had when he witnessed the atrocities committed by the Chu Kingdom during the massacre of a city. He was truly enraged.
His spiritual power erupted completely, and a fire lotus slowly condensed in his palm. This move drained ninety percent of his spiritual power, as if he didn't even want the testing process.
It should be noted that Gu Yifeng's spiritual power, at ninety percent, far surpasses that of a typical late-stage peak Opening Mansion Realm cultivator, and is at least at the level of a half-step Condensation Realm cultivator. This fire lotus contains a rich aura of Crimson Flame and Phoenix Flame.
In addition, there was a bone-chillingly cold aura.
