What is more important.
This kind of approach.
Has also indirectly killed off a batch of Taixuan Dynasty’s troops.
This kind of sudden change.
Certainly caught Taixuan Dynasty off guard.
By the time the news truly arrived back, Taixuan Dynasty’s frontier had already completely fallen, with thirty-six prefectures of the three thousand and six hundred in South Star State captured within just ten days, falling under the Divine Martial Dynasty’s control.
By the time Taixuan Dynasty reacted, Nangong Zhu couldn’t afford to be angry and directly organized troops to resist, but ultimately lost the initiative.
Now it’s been just half a year.
Taixuan Dynasty has already lost over three hundred prefectures, and the Divine Martial Dynasty’s army is advancing unstoppable, displaying powerful depth that makes all forces in South Star State tremble with fear.
In this situation, many forces belonging to South Star State have developed other intentions, with some even secretly joining the Divine Martial Dynasty, hoping to gain high positions and rich rewards.
For these forces, the Divine Martial Dynasty certainly accepts them all.
After all, in Gu Yang’s eyes, South Star State would sooner or later belong to Divine Martial Dynasty, and these local forces of South Star State are already subjects of the Divine Martial Dynasty.
If they can conquer without bloodshed.
That would be the best scenario.
But if these forces are really determined not to surrender, Gu Yang will not hesitate.
These forces are sensible.
Upon receiving promises and rewards from the Divine Martial Dynasty, they directly caused upheaval and launched a sneak attack on Taixuan Dynasty.
The entire Taixuan Dynasty splintered.
Everything happened too quickly, so quickly that even Nangong Zhu, the Taixuan Emperor, didn’t foresee it.
No matter how the latter thought about it, he couldn’t understand why merely half a year’s time was enough for Taixuan Dynasty’s foundation of millions of years to crumble.
"Report to the Emperor, Xuanyuan Mansion was lost, Prefecture Master Zhao Yangchen has betrayed the court, led many to submit to the Divine Martial Dynasty!"
"Report to the Emperor, Taiyuan Prefecture has fallen, Prefecture Master Chen Shengyuan has died in battle, three million troops of the prefecture were completely slaughtered!"
"Report to the Emperor—"
Messages one after another broke the silence in Taixuan Dynasty’s court, creating an extremely oppressive and terrifying atmosphere here.
Nangong Zhu looked at the ministers with their heads lowered, a mocking smile appearing on his face.
"Taixuan Dynasty was founded since ancient times, and in less than a year, its foundation of millions of years falls into such a state; even if I die, I have no face to meet my ancestors.
All of you may discuss, is it that the Divine Martial Dynasty is too strong, or has Taixuan Dynasty long been corrupt?"
Many ministers trembled, lowering their heads even more, not daring to speak randomly.
Looking at the silent officials, Nangong Zhu took a deep breath and then gave a self-deprecating smile.
"Taixuan Dynasty’s foundation is ultimately buried in my hands..."
An elder minister couldn’t help advising, but didn’t know what to say.
Nangong Zhu waved his hand to signal silence, looking towards the outside of the great hall, his gaze becoming somewhat vacant, then shifting uncertainly, seemingly making some decisions.
Nangong Zhu spoke: "King Chuan!"
"Your subject is here!"
Pointing to the silent Nangong Chuan stepping forward.
Nangong Zhu said slowly: "Please King Chuan represent me and visit the Divine Martial Dynasty, tell Gu Yang, Taixuan Dynasty can surrender, but there is one premise, that is to exchange for Wang Junze’s head!"
At the end of the sentence, the killing intent in Nangong Zhu’s eyes almost became tangible, his expression somewhat ferocious.
It’s often said love goes deep, hate goes deeper.
Nangong Zhu had trusted Wang Junze greatly, gave him heavy responsibilities, only to be repaid .
Nangong Zhu still does not understand, why Wang Junze betrayed Taixuan Dynasty.
Taixuan Dynasty can surrender.
But Wang Junze must die.
Nangong Chuan’s face changed slightly, wanting to say something, but saw Nangong Zhu raised his hand to stop.
"No need for unnecessary words, I believe King Chuan understands that Taixuan Dynasty’s defeat is only a matter of time, even if we continue to resist, it would only cause more casualties.
Since so, why continue!"
"Divine Martial Dynasty’s momentum is unstoppable, from the ancient disaster to the present, it only fears to become the first Divine Dynasty in the Eastern Domain!"
Nangong Zhu shook his head slightly, appearing a bit unwilling, yet partly resigned.
Divine Martial Dynasty’s momentum is overwhelming.
Ascendance to Divine Dynasty is merely a question of time.
In comparison, Taixuan Dynasty, after millions of years of accumulation, smooths out its ought-to-have sharpness.
Nangong Zhu knows well, even if Taixuan Dynasty is given twice the time, it’s impossible to break the shackles and rise to the Divine Dynasty ranks.
Simply because successive emperors pursue stability, having lost the intention for sharp advancement.
Taixuan Dynasty has no opportunity to advance as Divine Dynasty.
"Your subject complies!"
Nangong Chuan naturally understood the correctness of his words, immediately taking a deep breath, bowing to comply.
Nangong Zhu looked at the crowd of ministers below and said, "If there’s nothing else, then let us adjourn!"
Nangong Chuan stepped into Ancestor State.
As he entered Ancestor State, a terrifying Qi Fortune abruptly descended, seemingly sensing the presence of an external strong force.
Made Nangong Chuan’s complexion change instantly.
"Divine Martial has only been elevated to Dynasty status for a few years, yet Qi Fortune has grown to this level!?"
This suppressing Qi Fortune made Nangong Chuan’s vitality stifle, knowing he has already reached Saint Nine Heavens, only one step short from the Great Saint.
Dynasty’s Qi Fortune.
The limit is to be on par with the Saint King.
Divine Martial Dynasty’s current Qi Fortune certainly hasn’t reached this level, but just by Qi Fortune’s self-reaction it can suppress the Saint Nine Heavens strong ones, indicating Divine Martial Dynasty’s Qi Fortune is already on par with the Great Saint.
Even after Taixuan Dynasty’s years of accumulation, Qi Fortune is only at this level.
Divine Martial Dynasty’s few years have caught up with Taixuan Dynasty’s millions of years of accumulation.
Nangong Chuan understood even more why Nangong Zhu spoke such words.
Given Divine Martial Dynasty’s development pace, its ascension to Divine Dynasty is estimated as just a matter of time.
When the court Qi Fortune stirred.
Gu Yang, who was silently cultivating, seemed to sense something, his Divine Thought merged into Qi Fortune, instantly discovering Nangong Chuan’s presence.
Gu Yang’s expression shifted slightly.
He’s curious as to why this ancient Saint of Taixuan Dynasty came here.
As for whether Nangong Chuan carried any harmful intents, Gu Yang wasn’t worried.
Not to mention he is already a Saint, even if he’s not, with Divine Martial Dynasty’s current Qi Fortune, not just any Saint Nine Heavens can act rampant.
If the opponent truly dared to act, Gu Yang is confident to suppress him.
"What does Your Majesty command!"
A Jinyi Guard stepped forward.
Gu Yang said: "Divine Martial Dynasty’s Nangong Chuan visits, go greet him on my behalf."
"Your subject complies!"
The Jinyi Guard didn’t doubt and straightaway left to execute the order.
Nangong Chuan looked at the Jinyi Guard who appeared before him, showing no surprise.
Nangong Chuan said flatly.
He clearly understood.
From the moment he stepped into Ancestor State, everything was under Gu Yang’s watch, wanting to escape his observation was impossible.
The Jinyi Guard led Nangong Chuan into the Imperial Palace to meet Gu Yang.
"Your Majesty, the person is brought!"
"Dismiss yourself now!"
In the side hall, Gu Yang waved his hand, eyes always fixed on Nangong Chuan, then smiled faintly.
"I’ve heard of King Chuan’s fame long ago, I wonder what the intent is for your visit today?"
"Nangong Chuan greets Emperor Gu!"
Nangong Chuan bowed and saluted, then straightened up, looking directly into Gu Yang’s eyes, speaking slowly.
