Chapter 484: Chapter 291: A Longevity Fruit from a Thousand Calamities, Observing the Dao in the Subtle, "Innate Dao Fool", The Night of the Full Moon
After absorbing the Destiny of the Six Kingdoms, Lu Mingyuan’s aura reached an absolute peak.
In Sui Yuqing’s eyes, the Destiny within him was like a torrential flood,
holding an immense attraction for her.
In an instant.
A figure in a Dragon Robe returned to the Great Yan Camp, leaving her momentarily stunned. Lu Mingyuan then proclaimed:
"I have taken the Destiny of the Six Kingdoms today as a mere lesson. In the future, if any still refuse to submit, they are welcome to try me."
"Those who offend Great Yan shall be slain, no matter how far they flee."
Hearing this, the young leaders of the Six Kingdoms had varied expressions. Some were solemn, others resentful, and some simply turned and left with downcast faces.
When Li Muwan heard his words, she sighed and also chose to turn and leave.
"Let’s go."
Nanli the Elder Sword Saint rubbed the calluses on his palm, took a deep breath, and followed.
He knew.
This battle was already coming to an end.
Staying any longer would only make them a laughingstock.
’Were they supposed to decide the outcome with the lives of their soldiers?’
The many powerful beings in the sky also ceased their discussions. All eyes fell upon Lu Mingyuan, their gazes filled with a mix of apprehension, admiration, and contemplation.
Most of all, however, they were curious.
Curious how this New Emperor of Great Yan had attained such a level of strength.
Lu Mingyuan’s performance today had shocked many.
With a great wave of his sleeve, Liu Tiandu wrapped up the dejected Luo Lingxiao, pulled him into the Flying Ship, and departed with a cold snort.
His conflict with the Great Yan Dynasty was not yet over.
Lu Mingyuan was clearly aware of this. He gazed at a corner of the sky and pondered for a moment.
’Once I become a Martial Saint, I must find an opportunity to eradicate the Wanluo Sword Sect.’
’And wipe the name of Wan Luo from the entire Central Plains World.’
’Although I’ve seized the Destiny of the Six Kingdoms, I haven’t touched their foundation.’
’The root of a nation’s Destiny comes from its Dragon Vein.’
’The leaders of the Six Kingdoms certainly inherited a great deal of Celestial Destiny and Fortune, but to truly uproot it, I will need to conquer all Six Kingdoms.’
"Your Majesty, are we returning to the capital tonight?"
Champion Marquis Huo Qing asked softly.
"There’s no hurry. We’ll wait here for a few days."
Lu Mingyuan looked up at the sky and gave the order.
"Are we returning to Jiayu Pass, or..."
Lu Mingyuan saw Luo Qiufu standing gracefully in the crowd. He thought for a moment, then said:
"The army will set out for the Golden Crow Country."
"Yes."
The Champion Marquis slowly withdrew to inform the generals of each army and battalion.
First stop: the Golden Crow Country.
Lu Mingyuan’s reasoning was actually quite simple.
The Great Yan Dynasty was still the nominal Sovereign State of the Golden Crow Country and thus held a certain degree of authority over it.
Furthermore, Great Yan was the closest to the Golden Crow Country. As its Sovereign State, they could use this opportunity to be the first to confirm the new Sovereign and put Luo Qiufu in power.
By doing so, he could get his hands on the Golden Crow Country’s Celestial Destiny and Fortune first.
But Great Yan was not the Sovereign State for all of the other nations.
It did not possess the right to depose and install their Sovereigns.
Nations like the Song Dynasty, the Great Sui Dynasty, and the Nanli Dynasty were merely tributary states to Great Yan. At most, they regarded Great Yan as their leader and would pay annual tribute as vassals.
Internally, however, they still proclaimed themselves Empires.
"How long has it been? Not even a few months, and you’ve already disowned your master?"
In the canyon, the armies of the Six Kingdoms had nearly all departed; only the forces of the Golden Crow Country remained.
Because Luo Lingxiao had been taken away by the Wanluo Sword Immortal, the only remaining pillar of the Golden Crow Country was the Eldest Princess, Luo Qiufu.
This was the perfect time to take power, starting with this Golden Crow army.
Before long, Luo Qiufu began to reprimand the group of old officials from the New Dynasty.
A few disciples of the Legalist Family, holding their Lifebound Treasure, the Ink Ruler, stood awkwardly in place, enduring Luo Qiufu’s humiliation.
No matter how you looked at it, this was their fault.
They had believed Luo Lingxiao, made an enemy of Great Yan, overthrown the rule of the old nobility, and supported the exile of Luo Qiufu, the Regent.
From any angle, they had no justification for their actions.
But in truth, anyone would have chosen Luo Lingxiao as their leader.
Luo Lingxiao’s birth and background were both superior to Luo Qiufu’s.
Moreover, his methods and strength were also more outstanding than the Eldest Princess’s.
It was no wonder they had chosen Luo Lingxiao as the new king.
But now, it was too late to say any of that.
Because the person standing behind Luo Qiufu now was the Emperor of Great Yan.
Just moments ago, this Emperor of Great Yan had utterly defeated the Six Kingdoms, striking fear into the hearts of all the nations.
"Forget it. I’ll settle accounts with you when we get back."
Luo Qiufu’s voice was icy. Her gilded long dress gave her an ethereal air, and her jet-black hair was exceptionally smooth.
She turned her head to look at Lu Mingyuan, a smile on her face. "Let’s set off at once. I’ll lead the way from here."
"With me here, no city or pass should bar our way."
Watching her from the side, Lu Mingyuan found it rather amusing.
Before the subjects of the Golden Crow Country, she was still that lofty Eldest Princess.
But in front of Lu Mingyuan, she was more like an obedient little kitten.
"Go."
Lu Mingyuan couldn’t be bothered with such matters and simply gave a cool assent.
With their destination decided, the dark figures in the valley began to move. Banners and flags fluttered. From the sky, the army of over a hundred thousand was a magnificent sight.
’With this army’s combat strength,’ Lu Mingyuan thought, ’I could easily conquer a mid-sized nation like the Golden Crow Country.’
[Gua Cheng: Greatly Auspicious!]
Inside the Nine Dragon Carriage, Lu Mingyuan leaned back on the couch as text appeared before his eyes.
This filled him with anticipation.
’Another Emperor Orange Fate Grid. I wonder what kind of special enhancement I’ll receive.’
’Every Fate Grid is immensely useful to me.’
