King of Nine Skies-Chapter 240 - :Siege of the Imperial City

Beyond the Imperial City, the scene was bustling with people. Even within the outer city, things were still very lively. Moreover, many of the people at this moment were heading in one direction, towards the gap between the outer city and the Imperial City, beyond the imposing city gate.

At this moment, outside the city walls of the Imperial City and beyond the rivers, there was a profound silence. There was an overwhelming aura of evil energy pervading the area. This evil energy was extremely potent, enveloping the entire space in a sense of oppression.

One could see that beyond the river there were all human figures and horses. All the human figures were clad in armor and all the horses were warhorses.

Fortress Besieged!

At this moment, a legion actually surrounded the city. This army numbered several tens of thousands. Looking from afar, it stretched as far as the eye could see, arranged in an orderly and solemn formation outside the imperial city.

In the distance, the people passing through the outer city were all looking at these soldiers and discussing among themselves.

"It's the Crimson Blood Cavalry. I never expected that the mighty Crimson Blood Cavalry would besiege the Imperial City. However, in front of the Imperial City, these tens of thousands of troops are nothing but a joke. They can't cause much trouble."

Someone saw the central army corps, clad in crimson armor, and the warhorses they rode were also of a crimson hue. This army corps was the symbol of the Snow Moon Border. It was the Crimson Blood Army, the troops of Liu Canglan.

"Things are unpredictable. Who could have known that the mighty General of the Divine Arrows would be publicly executed today, to be made known to all under heaven?"

Someone shook his head and sighed. The matter of Snow Moon wanting to kill Liu Canglan was no longer a secret.

It is said that during this major offensive by the Moai forces, the General of the Divine Bow did not fully resist the Moai forces but instead sought to seize power and instigate a rebellion, aiming to control the Sirius King's Army that had come to assist him. This allowed the Moai forces to take advantage and inflict heavy casualties on their opponents. Moreover, tens of thousands of soldiers were killed in distant lands, and the princess was captured by the Moai forces and her fate remained uncertain.

If it weren't for Lin Feng's brilliant mind and outstanding talent of the "Tyrant King of Tianlang" who came up with the ingenious plan to set fire to Dianxie City and besiege Mo Yue's fifty-thousand-strong army in the flames, killing tens of thousands of people and then devising a series of consecutive stratagems to reverse the situation, the Snow Moon Army would have all perished in a foreign land.

Poor Lin Feng, the talented and heroic figure, went to rescue the princess. Alone and armed with only a single sword, he ventured into the camp of the Mo Yue forces. He single-handedly pursued and captured the person who had kidnapped the princess. Now, he and the princess have both gone missing. Their fates remain unknown. It is estimated that they are both in dire straits together.

Therefore, the Snow Moon Kingdom issued a public announcement, stating that they would publicly execute the head of the Divine Archer Liu Canglan and offer it as an offering to the deceased soldiers of the three armies.

After this battle, the reputation of the "Divine Archer" faded away, and Lin Feng became known to the public. Unfortunately, the young hero might have been buried far away from here.

The crowd glanced at the sky. The sun was glaring. There were still about two hours before they could kill Liu Canglan.

At this moment, the gates of the imperial city were tightly closed and the city was sealed off. No one was allowed to enter. Even if people wanted to see for themselves the execution of Liu Canglan, they were not permitted to do so.

Just then, a slight commotion was heard from outside the city gate. Immediately, the crowd saw the soldiers' warhorses start to move and they took out bows and arrows from their saddles.

"Rebellion! For the sake of Lord Liu Canglan, this legion is actually planning to stage a rebellion and attack the Imperial City."

The gazes of the crowd all focused. With tens of thousands of troops ready to attack the Imperial City, it was undoubtedly a suicidal act. It was certain that once they launched the rebellion, the soldiers on the battlements of the Imperial City would show no mercy. These tens of thousands of soldiers were merely sacrificing themselves; they would have no effect at all.

Sure enough, upon seeing the actions of the troops below, a military commander atop the city gate sneered. This commander was named Meng Guifeng, holding the position of the chief commander and enjoying a prominent status for a while. Standing on the city wall, he naturally knew exactly what he should do. He wished these people to rebel so that he could easily suppress the rebellion and secure a war merit, and also eliminate a potential threat to the Crown Prince.

Beside Meng Gufeng's mountain peak, there stood a young man. This man was wearing armor, looking imposing and handsome. If Lin Feng were here, he would surely recognize him. Meng Chong, the one who was defeated in his cultivation by Lin Feng in the Cinnamon Grove that day, Meng Chong, was also the son of Meng Gufeng.

"Montague, this war merit, I'm giving it to you to claim. How about that?"

Meng Gufeng smiled and said, "Let Meng Chong's face light up. This war achievement could be easily obtained without any effort. Father bestowed it upon him. It's undoubtedly his intention to make him rise rapidly to prominence. Naturally, he would be willing to accept it."

"OK."

Meng Chong smiled, took a step forward, stood on the city gate of the Imperial City, waved his hand, and immediately, countless soldiers of the Snow Moon Army raised their bows and arrows and aimed them at the crowd below.

Standing at a high place and looking down upon the crowd below, Meng Chong felt a surge of heroic sentiments. At this moment, every move he made could determine the lives of tens of thousands of people.

"Lin Feng, it's a pity that you're dead. Otherwise, I would have personally taken your life."

Meng Chong felt a surge of blood heat in his heart, his spirit soaring with boundless passion. It seemed that now he could easily kill Lin Feng, that hateful fellow who had once humiliated him and deprived him of his cultivation.

Even if he lacks cultivation, he can still command a mighty army.

The atmosphere of desolation spread across the area of the imperial city's city gates. The legions beneath the city gates all wore expressions of willingness to sacrifice their lives for the cause. Knowing that they would die, they were determined to fight this battle and make it a success.

"For this battle, it is not for any other reason. We, tens of thousands of our soldiers, are merely seeking justice."

The commander of the main camp, Ren Qingchuan, stood in front of the soldiers, looking up at the imperial city. They had fought and bled to death for Snow Moon, and buried tens of thousands of their comrades. But how did Snow Moon treat them?

Where is justice?

"Where is justice?"

Tens of thousands of soldiers roared out in unison, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. The hearts of the crowd also shook violently for a moment.

These people seek justice at the cost of their lives.

Above the imperial city, Meng Chong and his son sneered.

"Justice, strength, and influence - these are all about justice. In this world, where is there any true justice?"

Meng Chong's face showed a hint of evil smile. After Lin Feng nullified his cultivation, his heart became even more twisted.

"Brothers, in this final battle, we'll be together. The General and the Chief of the Crimson Blood Army will be with us too. We'll never regret this life."

Leaning his light-hearted and unrestrained figure on the warhorse, at this moment, he was truly unrestrained and free. Even if he died, it was not worth lamenting.

The sound of the bowstring being drawn out echoed, and the murderous intent filled the entire universe.

"Ready."

The sentry on the city wall raised his hand in salute. His sneer deepened. Meanwhile, his body slowly retreated and hid behind the crowd.

Even the hands of the arrogant and unrestrained man lifted up. The gentle breeze blew past, teasing his long hair. At this moment, he didn't even wear his helmet.

The lips trembled slightly, and the wild hands moved down a little. Slowly, as soon as his hands moved down, the death tolling bell would ring.

"Boom, boom!"

The distant sound of hooves thundered on, yet no one paid attention. The gazes of the crowd were all fixed on the soldiers outside and inside the city gate of the imperial city.

Leaning his hand further down, Ren continued to move it, and the bows of the soldiers all tightened to full draw.

"Stop it."

The rumbling hooves of the horses still echoed, the ground shook constantly, and a voice transformed into a surging tide, spreading crazily towards the front. This voice made Ren Qingchang's slowly lowering hand pause for a moment.

"Stop it, Commander Ren. It's me."

Lin Feng roared again. The warhorse he was sitting on galloped wildly. The people in front quickly retreated to the sides as the charging warhorses came towards them. They watched the warhorses galloping towards them.

Upon hearing this voice, Ren's wild hands froze in mid-air. A sharp glint flashed across his eyes. "Lin Feng? This is Lin Feng's voice?"

"Keep everything in place."

Ren Qing raised his voice and roared loudly, causing all the soldiers to freeze in their tracks. Why did they all stop moving? Who was that voice that came from there?

Ren Qingchán naturally wanted them to stop. If they shot this arrow, it would be a rebellion. The people on the ramparts of the imperial city would have a reason to suppress it and kill them.

But as long as they haven't made a move yet, they are still part of the Snow Moon's army. The enemy has no sufficient reason to attack them.

Originally, he was determined to die, but when Lin Feng arrived, things took a turn for the better. Lin Feng was molded into a hero by Xue Yue, while Liu Canglan became a complete villain. Only Lin Feng can now influence this tumultuous situation.

Turning around, he gazed into the distance with his eyes. A hint of smile appeared in his wild eyes, while his heart was filled with excitement.

"Lin Feng, well done, you did great!"

Besides Lin Feng, among that group of people who came galloping over, there was Princess Duan Xinye, Liu Canglan. They are all safe now.

"Lin Feng!"

When they heard Ren Qingchao's voice, tens of thousands of soldiers' gazes all tightened. This hero molded by Xue Yue was indeed the hero in their hearts. Lin Feng led the Crimson Blood Heaven Sword to slay Mo Yue's Black Demon Guards, and then, relying on his own strength, he reversed the inevitable defeat of that battle.

Now, is that arrogant figure showing up again?

"Lin Feng!"

From atop the city tower, Meng Chong also saw that figure in the distance. However, the expression on his face was one of coldness and malice.
