Azure Purple Calendar 376
"Southern Pride" Murong Ran joins forces with "Wolf Lord" Wanyan Yi to fight against Crown Prince Xiao Han of the Azure Dragon, while the renowned general Bu Yinfeng battles at Yangguan Road.
When the war reached a stalemate...
Yan Xiao, the sect leader of Yan Yang Sect, Gu Yuehan, the sect leader of Han Yue Sect, and Dongfang Sui, the sect leader of Sui Xing Sect, arrived together!
They launched an offensive against the Azure Dragon Army...
The arrival of the three Nascent Soul experts completely shattered the balance of the war.
The renowned general Bu Yinfeng was killed by the Wolf Lord Wanyan Yizhen.
Xiao Han, facing imminent danger, broke through his cultivation level and, in order to preserve the dynasty's army, chose one person to cover the rear...
He fought against five opponents single-handedly for half a day.
Ultimately, he died from exhaustion.
In this battle, the Azure Dragon Dynasty suffered heavy losses...
Of the 20,000 Ironclad Warriors, less than 5,000 remained, while of the 30,000 Azure Dragon Cavalry, only 10,000 were left.
If Xiao Han hadn't sacrificed himself to cover the retreat, the Azure Dragon Army would probably have been completely wiped out.
Azure Purple Calendar 377
Murong Ran and Wanyan Yi conquered seventeen cities in succession and finally arrived at the capital of the Canglong Dynasty.
The Azure Dragon Dynasty's Grand Preceptor, Nangong Yanyu, was forced to abandon the East China Sea defense line...
Leading the remaining three thousand Misty Rain warriors, they rushed to the aid of Purple Dream Dragon City under the cover of night.
Outside Zi Menglong City, the enemy army had already besieged the city.
Emperor Xiao Kuangsheng stood proudly atop the city wall, looking down at the dark mass of enemy troops below, a hint of desolation in his eyes.
Behind him stood Xiao Ruoli, who was only ten years old...
Xiao Ruoli, who possesses the Extreme Yin Divine Body, has shown amazing talent for cultivation since birth.
At just ten years old, Xiao Ruoli had already reached the first level of the Golden Core Realm...
The purple aura in the Purple Dream Dragon City seemed to resonate naturally with Xiao Ruoli, allowing her cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.
Unfortunately, Xiao Ruoli was still too young.
Faced with the impending catastrophe of national annihilation, there was nothing she could do.
"Father... let's retreat." Ten-year-old Xiao Ruoli said, "As long as we're alive, there's always a chance to turn things around."
Xiao Ruoli was precocious, and she knew that... by this point, the outcome of the war was no longer in doubt.
Xiao Kuangsheng smiled faintly, "Ruo Li, I am the Emperor of the Azure Dragon Dynasty. At this point, where should I retreat to?"
"The emperor guards the nation's gates, the monarch dies for the state... perhaps this is my destiny."
Dressed in white, Nangong Yanyu slowly spoke, "Your Majesty, I am willing to advance and retreat together, and die for the country."
The Dragon Emperor shook his head slightly. "Grand Preceptor, I was wrong not to heed your advice... not to eliminate Murong Ran sooner..."
Nangong Yanyu said in a deep voice, "The fault lies not with His Majesty, but with people's hearts... Murong Ran is ambitious and has failed His Majesty's trust in her."
The Dragon Emperor said in a low voice, "Mr. Nangong, you should take Ruoli away. The bloodline of the Xiao family must be preserved... With the influence of your Misty Rain Pavilion in the martial arts world, it shouldn't be difficult to ensure Ruoli's safety for the rest of her life."
Nangong Yanyu said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, let us live in seclusion together. Even a dragon swimming in shallow waters will eventually soar to the sky."
Xiao Kuangsheng waved his hand. "Mr. Nangong, if I retreat with you... Murong Ran and the Three Sects will spare no effort to eliminate the Misty Rain Clan..."
"Only if I stay here can you lead Ruoli to live a life of seclusion in the city."
At this point, Xiao Kuangsheng pointed a finger at Xiao Ruoli, sealing her Yin Divine Body.
"Ruoli, don't blame your father... Your Extreme Yin Divine Body can absorb Primordial Purple Qi, which is too dazzling. Only by temporarily sealing your body can we avoid Murong Ran's detection."
"Ruoli, there's no need for revenge... Just live your own life well..."
"Imperial Preceptor... Mr. Nangong, I entrust Ruoli to you!"
Nangong Yanyu sighed deeply and bowed to Xiao Kuangsheng, saying, "Your subject, Nangong Yanyu, will not fail in your duty and will protect Her Highness the Princess with my life."
Xiao Kuangsheng smiled faintly, "You... may go."
......
On this day, Xiao Kuangsheng, the Dragon Emperor of the Azure Dragon Dynasty, guarded the nation's gate alone.
Faced with the combined attack of five Nascent Soul experts: Murong Ran, Wanyan Yi, Dongfang Sui, Yan Xiao, and Gu Yuehan.
Xiao Kuangsheng fought the most brilliant battle of his life.
Xiao Kuangsheng stood outside Zi Menglong City, like a god descending to earth.
The Purple Dragon Fist was incredibly powerful, nearly crippling the leaders of the three major sects!
Murong Ran's famous sword, Undying, was shattered by a single blow...
The wolf lord Wanyan Yi's arm was also shattered by the dragon fist.
In the end, the five Nascent Soul experts wore down the Dragon Emperor Xiao Kuangsheng to death!
However, they all paid a heavy price...
However, in any case...
After this battle, a change of dynasty eventually occurred.
......
In the 377th year of the Azure Dragon Calendar, the Azure Dragon Dynasty collapsed.
Murong Ran established the Qionghuang Dynasty and made Qiongming City its capital.
As agreed, she gifted a large number of cities in the north to the wolf lord Wanyan Yi.
The East China Sea region was also ceded to Japan. Oda Nobuyoshi...
The Azure Dragon Ridge defense line in the west, which was meant to defend against the demon race, was abandoned and handed over to the Demon Emperor Ren Junxing in exchange for fifteen years of peace between the two races.
From then on, Murong Ran changed the name of her kingdom to Qionghuang.
Ten years have passed in a flash...
It is now the tenth year of the Qionghuang calendar.
Nalan Youruo sighed softly, "The past is like smoke... I was young then and didn't know the state of the world."
"Now I know... Murong Ran is not qualified to be an empress at all."
"Driven by his own ambitions, he colluded with foreign powers! He made deals with the demon race, the wolf lord, and the Sun Wheel Kingdom one after another. Afterwards, he even ceded territory to these former enemy countries in exchange for a brief period of peace."
"With the world in this person's hands, destruction is inevitable..."
"Mr. Nangong searched for ten years to find the Heavenly Mystery Pearl through his connections at the Misty Rain Pavilion!"
"Thanks to the Heavenly Mystery Pearl, even if I regain my Extreme Yin Divine Body, Murong Ran won't discover it..."
Nalan Youruo said softly, "Given time...when I break through to the Nascent Soul Realm...I will settle the score for what happened back then."
"Murong Ran, Wanyan Yi, and the three sect leaders, I will not let any of them go."
......
When the shadow found Xiang Wendian, he was squatting on the ground looking at mushrooms.
The shadow walked to Xiang Wendian's side without saying a word.
He didn't dare to speak...
"Shadow...look, don't we look like mushrooms?" Xiang Wendian suddenly spoke up. "You squat down too, then we'll be three mushrooms!"
So the shadow crouched down.
Xiang Wendian chuckled, "The three mushrooms are all different; some are big, some are small, and some are very brightly colored!"
The shadow remained silent, and squatted there with Xiang Wendian for three days and three nights.
On the morning of the fourth day, Xiang Wendian stood up.
"Shadow, what brings you here?"
The shadow whispered, "The city lord wants you to kill someone."
Xiang Wendian narrowed his eyes. "Hmm? You couldn't even kill that person?"
“We can’t kill him.” The shadow said slowly. “Besides the city lord and you, no one in Lin Yuan City can kill him.”
Xiang Wendian laughed, "This is interesting. Who is the target, and where is he?"
"This time, the target is Chu Tianyao. He is in Zuiyue County, at Honglou."
