Chapter 421: Chapter 220: Sweeping Across Qingzhou, Slaughtering Into the Imperial Palace (Part 2)

"Appearing before me is your greatest sin!"

Wei Fan’s expression was indifferent as he released his fingers.

Boom!

A massive beam of white light pierced the sky, appearing miles away in an instant, blasting the Elephant Pig Demon Venerable with a single arrow.

Golden blood scattered across the sky, shattered golden bones shooting like cannonballs in all directions.

[Slain Elephant Pig Demon Venerable, acquired 20,000 years of Ordinary Power, 40 years of Golden Body Power]

[Ordinary Power: 174,000 years]

[Golden Body Power: 610 years]

Elephant Pig Demon Venerable, dead!

Shot dead with just one arrow, without even having time to react!

Such is the power of Bow Divine Soldiers. Although difficult to forge and requiring high-quality materials, once successfully crafted, their long-range attack capabilities are terrifying.

Miles of distance, if relying on personal abilities, even if the power could reach that far, it wouldn’t have much strength by the time it arrived, not enough to kill a Demon Venerable.

Moreover, the speed isn’t as fast. By the time the power crossed the distance, the Elephant Pig Demon Venerable would have long vanished.

Everyone was shocked as they looked at Wei Fan, who killed a Demon Venerable miles away with a single disagreement!

"Some people transport supplies back to the city, the rest continue forward, level Wild Boar Mountain!"

Long Jianying initially didn’t plan to provoke the demons of Wild Boar Mountain, but since Wei Fan already killed the Elephant Pig Demon Venerable, there’s no need to be courteous to Wild Boar Mountain, and they could also seize more supplies.

The army continued advancing into the deep mountains, but by the time they reached Wild Boar Mountain, most demons had fled, with little resistance encountered.

Slaying the remaining demons, moving away supplies, destroying what could be destroyed, the army continued to sweep within Qingzhou.

Three days later, Qingzhou was devoid of demons; the neighboring demons also fled. Long Jianying then led the army back to the city.

Wei Fan and Ji Qingyue did not leave, and continued to stay in Qingzhou.

"According to headquarters, the demon unrest across the regions has subsided, the matter should be over."

Three days later, Long Jianying found Wei Fan, informing him that the Great Victory Dynasty’s demon catastrophe had subsided, and ultimately demons did not come to Qingzhou seeking revenge on him.

After all, the Golden Scale Demon Venerable of Five-Colored Golden Body Eighth Forging was dead, unable to find someone who could truly match him, any ordinary Demon Venerable coming was doomed.

Wei Fan still didn’t leave immediately, staying in Qingzhou for another two days, and seeing no demons seeking him, he then departed.

Before leaving, from the seized Martial Venerate Divine Soldiers, he picked one to give to Long Jianying.

He had plenty of such things, and instead of letting them go unused, gifting one to Long Jianying as protection was better.

Besides, Long Jianying had no great ambitions, just wanting to manage Su City’s little land. Being implicated by Wei Fan, now appointed as General of Qingzhou, lacking Martial Venerate Divine Soldiers would be very dangerous.

"I will not be polite with you, old man!"

Long Jianying did not decline, took the Martial Venerate Divine Soldier, and stored it well, dealing with the pressure of being a General of One Province with a First Forged Golden Body cultivation.

Wei Fan nodded: "Where did Xueyi go?"

He ultimately asked.

Logically, after Long Jianying was urgently transferred to Qingzhou at near-death risk, Long Xueyi should have accompanied him. But after so long, Long Xueyi still hadn’t appeared.

It wasn’t normal unless something happened to Long Xueyi; otherwise, she wouldn’t possibly not come to Qingzhou to help Long Jianying.

Long Jianying, upon hearing, glared at Wei Fan: "I thought you had forgotten about Xueyi!"

Wei Fan touched his nose, causing Ji Qingyue to look over in surprise, as if he had abandoned Long Xueyi.

Long Jianying sighed: "She is in seclusion, it’s been over a month since she last emerged."

Huo Tianzheng had wanted to match his granddaughter with Wei Fan, he already knew, but for now, it seems his granddaughter didn’t match Wei Fan.

Considering Wei Fan’s penchant for trouble, even a Martial Venerable was inadequate, not to mention merely a Divine Realm Martial Sect.

Ever since the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill incident, Wei Fan hadn’t seen Long Xueyi, and this approach was wise, as if his granddaughter followed Wei Fan, she might not survive long.

Even he, being a Martial Venerable, narrowly escape death without major ties to Wei Fan, if his granddaughter truly had a special relationship with Wei Fan, the consequences wouldn’t be bearable by a Divine Realm Martial Sect.

His granddaughter understood this, thus she was desperately in seclusion, attempting to keep up with Wei Fan’s pace.

Wei Fan nodded: "As long as she’s alright, I’ll visit Su City to see her when I have the time."

He roughly knew Long Xueyi should be in seclusion, cultivating Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations. In Tongzhou, Long Xueyi’s talent was considered top-level, but in the entire wilderness, it wasn’t particularly strong.

To change this situation, Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations was the only chance.

Long Xueyi’s talent surpassed Long Jianying’s. A year or two in seclusion could likely achieve the Entry Level of Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations, which would grant the opportunity for Primordial Spirit transformation.

"Old man, farewell!"

Speaking, Wei Fan and Ji Qingyue soared into the air, disappearing above Qingzhou City.

...

In the Great Victory Dynasty, Capital City!

The world knows once a martial artist breaks through to the Celestial Human Realm, their lifespan expands, hence after the Great Victory Dynasty’s ancestor established its territories, a rule was set: every Emperor’s reign shall not exceed two cycles of sixty years.

Once the two cycles are reached, regardless of whether the body remains in peak condition, one must step down, retiring to the royal family for cultivation, as it is ultimately martial force, not power, that suppresses the world.

It even stipulates that each generation’s top talents cannot ascend the throne to avoid national affairs hindering their cultivation.

The current Great Victory Dynasty’s Emperor—Qin Hao, many know his reign has surpassed a century, so in recent years, the Great Victory Dynasty has opened a spectacle of princes competing for the throne.

Regarding who can ultimately ascend the throne, there are no conclusions yet, as who will finally reach the position depends on which prince Emperor Hao passes it to.

Though the successor remains unknown, many know King Liang is already out of the race. Since Wei Fan’s grand disturbance in the Capital City, killing Prime Minister Fan Chuan Sect and Garrison Commander Zhang Juzheng, publicly humiliating King Liang, all understood King Liang is now unrelated to the throne.

The imperial family, concerned about face, cannot elect a previously humiliated prince to inherit the throne.

"I stood up for the royal family, yet they abandoned me. I’m indignant, as the one embarrassed was not just me; the entire royal family was humiliated by Wei Fan. Why do they deem me the one who shamed the royal family!"

King Liang, reeking of alcohol, exited the Prince’s Mansion heading towards the Imperial Palace.

He wanted to ask his father why he was abandoned.

On that day, no other prince dared to stand up, only he confronted Wei Fan, wasn’t he supposed to be prioritized?

"Your Highness, please don’t trouble His Majesty. I heard Wei Fan recently appeared again, seemingly more formidable, and His Majesty is displeased, having lost his temper several times in Jinluan Hall. Seeking an audience now will only upset His Majesty..."

A guard chased up, attempting to stop King Liang from entering the palace, relaying the rumors heard recently.

"He dares reappear? That wretch dares return to the Great Victory Dynasty; it’s all his fault, I’ll have father send someone to kill him..."

Upon hearing of Wei Fan’s reappearance, he immediately forgot about seeking answers, only wanting the royal family to kill Wei Fan, as it was Wei Fan who caused his fall from a high-flying prince to a shadow of a man.

Only a phrase about "him" had yet to form, when from the corner of his eye, a bright light flew from outside the Imperial City, instantly bombarding the entrance to the palace.

Boom...

The entrance gates shattered instantly, bricks scattering like raindrops, a shockwave sweeping across, a storm-like plume of dust rising to the heavens.

King Liang felt a sudden pain in his chest, and before he could react, he was sent flying.

"???"

In mid-air, half his drunkenness vanished instantly, his mind blank.

Has a demon attacked the Capital City of the Great Victory Dynasty? Assaulting the Capital under daylight, did some significant event transpire while he was inebriated in this period?

King Liang was bewildered, even forgetting the pain in his body.

"What demon dares be bold in the Great Victory Dynasty’s Capital!"

"Audacious, daring to assault the Great Victory Dynasty’s Imperial Palace!" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

...

From within the depths of the Imperial Palace, furious voices erupted, as at the same time, terrifying Martial Venerable powerhouses began to rise into the air.
