724 Heavenly Cult
In my memories, a touch of untamed spirit and carefree attitude lingers, as if I have returned to that era when I was young, vigorous, and full of life.
There are no constraints, no complexities, no conspiracies or schemes; might makes right, simple and clear.
Wherever the Holy Emperor went, his spear followed; he wielded his sword to slay enemies, invincible in his path.
Why discuss heroes over a cup of wine, or the fate of the nation amidst swords and spears!
How did this once prosperous era become so complicated!
As they aged, they seemed to momentarily immerse themselves in memories of the past, their eyes sparkling with a unique brilliance.
It seems like a memory, something hard to accept, something to wait for the return of the Holy Emperor!
He gently turned his head to look at Elder Yun, a faint smile playing on his lips, a composure and ease seemingly emanating from his very bones.
He chuckled softly and said, "General Yun, my old buddy's life is in your hands today!"
He regained a sense of untamed spirit and boldness, as if life and death were nothing more than fleeting clouds in his eyes, insignificant and unworthy of mention.
Although the voice was soft, it conveyed a sense of firmness and trust, as if the weight of life was being gently entrusted to Elder Yun.
"Haha, old friend, you've really entrusted me with a difficult problem," Old Yun laughed heartily, a hint of unspoken trust in his laughter.
"When the Holy Emperor travels, we, with our limited talents and abilities, cannot comprehend his thoughts."
The Emperor's ambitions are beyond our comprehension.
Our aspirations have never changed; we seek peace and stability.
Old Yun's voice was strong and resonant.
Looking at the elderly, the powerful, and the guards who had come to deliver the news, he said softly, "The peace and tranquility that the Holy Emperor has achieved is the result of the sacrifices of countless comrades we made back then."
We shouldn't have just handed it over like that.
His eyes were heavy, as if he could see the end of the previous dynasty, an era full of war and turmoil, and the figures of them who had been fighting for their ideals.
Death is like the wind; how many of our compatriots from the past remain today, and how many of their descendants may live peaceful lives?
Thoughts seem to penetrate the dust of time and illuminate the path forward.
Like a stone striking the ground, it revealed boundless determination and conviction: "Since the powerful nation is the guardian of the northern city of this royal capital, then the northern city should carry out the Holy Emperor's orders."
In the past, during wartime, the Holy Emperor commanded that anyone who disobeyed his orders would be executed!
Today, the Holy Emperor is traveling, and the northern part of the royal city should be no exception.
Those who violate the Holy Emperor's laws shall be executed!
What do you think about being old?
The old man smiled gently, "Yes, General Yun!" His simple and straightforward answer was the clearest opinion.
He chuckled softly, "In that case, old buddy, all the pressure is on you!"
Old Yun laughed heartily, full of high spirits at that moment.
It seemed as if they had returned to the past, when they followed the Holy Emperor. The Holy Emperor charged ahead, and they followed closely behind. Even if the Nine Nether Hells were in front of them, they did not retreat in the slightest.
Even if swords and blades are at your feet, as long as the Holy Emperor gives the order, it will be as powerful as thunder, shaking heaven and earth!
Wherever the broadsword points, anyone who disobeys the Holy Emperor's orders will be beheaded on the spot and displayed to the public; no one dares to disobey!
Today, the Holy Emperor is touring the royal city, and the same ironclad rule shall apply to the northern region as well, without question!
He nodded solemnly. 'If the military personnel's families are willing, it would be best if they all relocated to the northern city area!'
Nian Qiangguo nodded solemnly in gratitude, saying, "Yes, on behalf of the soldiers, I thank Elder Yun!"
The little hat nodded gratefully repeatedly!
Elder Yun took a slow breath, his tone seemingly as firm as iron, his eyes flashing with a resolute light, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, sharp and intimidating.
In an instant, the wind swept up the dragon and tiger, the dragon and phoenix circled around, and heaven and earth resonated!
"Today, I, Elder Yun, representing the northern region of the Royal City, hereby declare to the entire Royal City!"
It seemed to roll in like thunder, as if it would tear the sky apart and shake the entire royal city!
Like a violent storm, it swept through every corner, moving everyone, from powerful families to high-ranking officials.
Every word struck people's hearts like a heavy hammer, leaving a buzzing sound!
Then came a domineering voice that shook the entire royal city!
He said, word by word, "Those who violate the laws of the Holy Emperor shall be executed without mercy!"
This is an ironclad rule for the northern part of my royal city!
'According to the Holy Emperor's laws, execution is the only punishment!'
These eight simple words seem to pierce through the clouds and reach the highest heavens.
As majestic as a mountain, as dazzling as the sun, it seemed to sweep away all darkness and evil.
In an instant, a cold wind howled, as if the wind was sweeping away the snow, and a chill that penetrated to the bone suddenly appeared!
The might of Emperor Wu!
Its momentum was like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, as if it would engulf the entire royal city.
The sound reached for miles, and many ghosts within those miles were so terrified that their souls were scattered, burned to ashes, and turned to dust.
At this moment, the entire royal city seemed to tremble, and everyone was shocked by Elder Yun's imposing aura.
The three, including Emperor Qianwu, were puzzled, but gradually calmed down after a short while.
He turned around, fell silent, and gave up on continuing his pursuit of the golden fragments, instead slowly returning to the royal city.
A cold wind swirled around the three of them, as if a sky full of snowflakes was slowly falling, and then slowly disappeared as the three of them vanished!
However, as they sped along the road, they were unexpectedly stopped by an invisible barrier of fortune.
A chill permeated the air, as if from the coldest heavens.
The wind whipped up snow, but a chilling killing intent was revealed!
The three, including Emperor Qianwu, looked up and saw three people standing in front of them, each emanating a powerful aura, like three insurmountable mountains, yet each with its own master.
One of the women was exceptionally beautiful, so stunning that she was breathtaking.
Surrounded by colorful clouds, it was as if celestial fairies had descended to earth. Amidst the colorful glow, golden rain seemed to fall from the sky, and the ground beneath one's feet seemed to burst with the fragrance of blooming flowers. The sounds of nature were melodious and pleasant, making one feel as if they were in a dreamlike world.
The other two had a cold demeanor, with red eyes and red hair, like demons who had walked out of hell.
One of them held a bright red knife, and the other had blood-red hooks; they exuded a strong murderous aura.
The crimson armor was as vivid as splashed ink, yet it exuded a chilling aura of bloodlust, as if it were the traces left by their slaughter of countless lives.
A chilling atmosphere instantly filled the air, sending shivers down everyone's spine.
Emperor Qianwu's expression was grim, his eyes revealing deep apprehension. His deep voice echoed in the air, "Heavenly Evil Sect, how dare you come to the royal city!"
The Heavenly Evil Cult always acts with premeditation, seemingly to obey the orders of some feared entity.
Their intentions were ill-intentioned; the three of them, including Emperor Qianwu, had grim expressions and uncertain demeanor.
The three people in front of them stood quietly, their expressions unchanged. They merely blocked the way without making a move, seemingly waiting as well.
The woman spoke softly, like heavenly music, purifying the soul: 'The Holy Emperor is not here; we have merely come to make a visit. Elder Qian, why should you mind?'
Her clear, melodious voice revealed a sense of composure and confidence, as if she had no ill intentions and was simply there to visit.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qianwu's eyes flashed with solemnity, sternness, and apprehension.
