199: Chapter 199: Divine Spaceship, Aren’t You Leaving Yet?
However, Sikong Jing coldly added, “Unfortunately for you, you didn’t anticipate the Divine Spaceship’s arrival in Yunzhou.”
As these words were uttered, Yan Ruyu’s expression once again turned vicious—it was something she indeed hadn’t expected.
In the past, it would always appear in the Imperial City, but this time it was the presence of that Fierce Beast that caused the Divine Spaceship to descend ahead of schedule.
“Even less did you expect that my father-in-law would be chosen.”
Sikong Jing smiled, then continued, “Starting from this point, the Long Night Empire will no longer be forgotten by the people of Canglong Domain.
Your Great Dynasties can no longer control it.”
Giggle giggle giggle…
Yan Ruyu ground her teeth in fury, then lowered her head sinisterly and stared straight at Sikong Jing above the city wall.
“That’s not necessarily the case.
The news of the Divine Spaceship’s arrival will soon be on the desks of every Great Dynasty.
When that happens, the Great Dynasties will join forces to annihilate everyone within the boundaries of Yunzhou.”
“As soon as the Divine Spaceship leaves, the great purge shall begin!”
Her cold, heartless voice swept around, chilling the millions of troops from Xia Country and Shang Country to the bone.
“You just stay here and await the executioners’ knives from the Great Dynasties.”
At this, bizarre five-colored lights suddenly flashed around Yan Ruyu’s body.
“Sikong Jing, the Great Dynasties have secrets and powers beyond your wildest imaginations.”
“Do you think that the only Heavenly Grade treasure that surpasses the Great Shang Dynasty is the Golden Soul Palace?”
This time, to guard against that terrifying human-shaped monster, I’ve also brought something that surpasses the Heavenly Grade.”
“I’m heading back to the Imperial City, and I will most definitely board the Divine Spaceship.
You can stay here and wait for death.”
Having said that, the five-colored light around Yan Ruyu flashed, carrying her away in a streak of color that moved with ultimate speed, following which her voice came from afar, “Manager Nian, follow me.”
Hearing this, Manager Nian also vanished on the spot.
He was a eunuch completely loyal to the Royal Family, so no matter the decisions of the Great Shang Dynasty, he would survive.
Inside and outside Yunzhou City, everything fell silent, with an eerie atmosphere continuing to spread.
“Ah, I can’t bear this!”
Yuwen Guan let out a furious roar that pierced the heavens, his eyes completely bloodshot.
While Sikong Jing on the city wall remained utterly cold, with an expressionless face, he declared, “Yuwen Guan, you still might have time to lead your troops and attack the Great Shang Imperial City, or else the Yuwen Family will be completely annihilated.”
The roaring abruptly stopped, and Yuwen Guan trembled violently, his teeth clenched tight.
Then, raising his head, he looked at Sikong Jing with a sneering smile, and said viciously, “I must go to the Long Night Empire.
Yan Ruyu said I’m a good dog, so I’ll go back and be her dog.”
“She just said she’s certain to board the Divine Spaceship and that she definitely has treasures in her possession to enhance her talents…”
“When I arrive at the Long Night Empire, I will shine brighter than anyone else.
I, Yuwen Guan, am invincible.”
Having spoken, Yuwen Guan blasted off, charging in the direction of the Great Shang Imperial City.
He and Sikong Jing shared a similar fate, but at this moment, he made a different choice—to go back and be a dog!
As Yuwen Guan departed, the millions-strong army of Shang Country stirred once more, each of them looking around, unsure of what to do!
Their two leaders had both left.
Sikong Jing stood high upon the city wall, his gaze sweeping over the armies of the two Great Dynasties.
“Those who wish to leave may do so at will, but you’ve also heard what Yan Ruyu said.
The Great Dynasties might join forces to destroy Yunzhou, to eliminate all those in the Long Night Empire who are in the know.”
“If you can trust me, Sikong Jing, then stay, and become my soldiers!”
Just one sentence had everyone exchanging looks and whispering among themselves.
In the end, the soldiers’ gazes still landed on the various strong leaders, and the temporary commander from Xia Country spoke up, “I don’t believe the Daxia Dynasty can be so heartless.
Everyone, heed my command, return to Yan State in Xia Country.”
The tens of millions of soldiers thunderously set out, and within a quarter of an hour, they had vanished without a trace.
On the side of the Shang Country’s army, due to Yan Ruyu’s heartless words and the fact that Sikong Jing’s reputation was extremely reputable, some clenched their teeth and decided to stay, leaving behind roughly three million soldiers.
The remaining seven million left Yunzhou, also stationed at the border of Yunzhou, waiting for further orders.
Sikong Jing looked down at the three million soldiers who had stayed and said in a low voice, “Five Dragons Admiral, where are you?”
“Present!” The five responded in unison, stepping out of formation.
Sikong Jing then ordered, “Immediately implement the 108 Beast Skills among the Yunzhou army, and at the same time, recruit soldiers and horses within the lands of Yunzhou.
I want to make Yunzhou an impregnable existence.”
“Your subordinates accept the command,” the Five Dragons Admiral responded solemnly.
Afterward, Sikong Jing, leading Su Yuexi, descended from the city wall.
His eyes were brimming with cold light.
The arrival of the Divine Spaceship had shocked him greatly and opened up a broader world for him.
He was definitely going to bring Su Yuexi to the Long Night Empire, but before that, he had to build up Yunzhou.
He wanted to change the current state of the Canglong Domain and ensure the Long Night Empire was no longer a secret.
It was not just for the people of Yunzhou and the million soldiers but also for the pride in his heart, the indignation at being fooled and deceived.
Having risen from humble origins himself, Sikong Jing was determined to give all those of humble birth the opportunities they deserved.
Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had gone by.
There was no news about what happened after the Divine Spaceship arrived at the various Imperial Cities, and both the ten million-strong army from Xia Country and the seven million from Shang Country remained stationed at the borders of Yunzhou.
Spies reported back that they had received no orders from either of the big Dynasties.
Meanwhile, Yunzhou rapidly fortified itself, and under everyone’s efforts, its power increased dramatically, with countless strongholds continuously being established.
Another month passed…
Yunzhou underwent a tremendous change, as Sikong Jing built up an army of six million, each imbued with various Beast Skills, indelibly marked by Sikong Jing, the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Inside the Imperial Palace of Great Shang Imperial City.
“Ruyu, what on earth is going on?
Why hasn’t the Divine Spaceship left yet?”
Yang Tianmo glared at his daughter, Yan Ruyu, his voice hoarse with a roar.
He was a middle-aged man who appeared very scholarly, wearing a dragon robe.
The Divine Spaceship from the Long Night Empire had now been in the territory of the Canglong Domain for a full one and a half months.
They came from Yunzhou City to Great Shang Imperial City and then left for the other Empires’ Imperial Cities.
But after a while, they turned back and remained within Great Shang Imperial City.
During this time, even he as the Emperor was unable to contact the exalted people of the Long Night Empire.
But his daughter, Yan Ruyu, could, because she had been chosen.
Indeed, as Yan Ruyu had said in Yunzhou, the Royal Family of the Great Shang had treasures aplenty.
Because of the bloodline left by the ancestors of the Yan Family, consuming this pure bloodline would greatly enhance Yan Ruyu’s Martial Root and talent, and then she would be selected.
During this time, Yan Ruyu had been staying on the Divine Spaceship until now when she finally seized the chance to disembark.
Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyu gritted her teeth and said angrily, “Because Su Yue Immortal’s talent is too strong, after specific tests, she turned out to have a seventh-grade Martial Root, so General Ning decided to conduct a large-scale and comprehensive talent selection in the Canglong Domain.”
