Chapter 1222 - The great army bow its head
Translator: Aran
This torture can be said to be the harshest and most chilling in the history of the Unmoving City of Darkness. It can be seen that the usually gentle and lenient Song Xiaojun was really furious this time.
Shen Lingzhi immediately understood that, if he were to fall into the hands of this woman, he most likely would end up in a state worse than death. He also completely rejected the plan to beg Song Xiaojun for mercy.
At this time, at a moment of life and death, he instead was slowly calming down.
“The one with the last name Song, you are just a lowly seed from the Vast Thousand Domains. Your origin is unknown, and your blood is not pure. You stole the imperial throne and the power of my Unmoving City of Darkness, and harbour evil intentions, but also refused the elder\'s marriage and secretly crowned an unknown lowly person. What I have done was just to ensure that the bloodline of my Unmoving City of Darkness is not tarnished. What crime did I commit? You...” Shen Lingzhi tried to explain and defend himself.
He said this, of course, not really to blame Song Xiaojun or to convince the soldiers of the Unmoving City of Darkness who have already completely plunged into rage.
It was to provide an excuse and reason for Yang Feng and Deputy Commander Xie to save him.
This was evidently him trying to convey a message.
As long as they occupy the right, occupy the moral high ground, Yang Feng, one of the four chief commanders, who holds the great power of the Guardian camp, can forcibly rescue people.
In the end, the Unmoving City of Darkness was a tribe of Sinners, even if they comply with orders they do not fully obey the Guardian camp. However, it was impossible for them to go against the four chief commanders, unless the Unmoving City of Darkness plans to rebel.
And how would the scheming Yang Feng not understand the meaning of Shen Lingzhi\'s words.
He immediately moved a few steps forward, operating his yuan qi, and then said in a resounding voice, “Elder Shen Lingzhi is loyal and what he did was under my orders, what crime did he commit? Release him right away, does the Unmoving City of Darkness want to rebel?” Yang Feng intended to suppress Song Xiaojun with righteousness.
Countless eyes were fixed on Song Xiaojun.
The blood-soaked soldiers of the Unmoving City of Darkness who were still alive were both furious and indignant.
Would they have to let go off a demon like Shen Lingzhi in this situation?
Her Majesty, can she bear the pressure?
Although unwilling, could they really fight back against the Guardian camp?
Or were they really going to rebel?
At this moment, Song Xiaojun still paid no attention to Yang Feng.
She did not seem to hear Yang Feng\'s words, as though did not see such a person all along.
“Come, strip Shen Lingzhi of the golden elder armour, put on the martial arts prohibition handcuffs, and imprison him,” Song Xiaojun commanded firmly.
No matter what anyone says today, Shen Lingzhi must pay the price for his sin. This was not a sin that death can atone for. Even death was too light of a punishment for him. She must let this culprit suffer painfully and strip him of the bloodline of the Unmoving City of Darkness.
“Yes,” Lingyun excitedly roared and took action right away. He lifted up Shen Lingzhi, who had his cultivation completely sealed by Song Xiaojun, like a chicken and removed his golden elder armour. Then, the prohibition handcuffs directly pierced Shen Lingzhi\'s shoulder blades and were fixed to his palms.
Some of the soldiers of the Unmoving City of Darkness excitedly cheered.
Of course, there were some officials who, at the same time of their anger being vented, felt somewhat worried. After all, the Emperor\'s choice was not wrong, but it was against the will of a commander-in-chief of the Guardian camp. Was the Unmoving City of Darkness really going to rebel?
Yang Feng indeed couldn\'t control his fury any longer upon seeing the scene.
“Well, very well, it seems the laws of your Unmoving City of Darkness really are more important than the heavens? You even ignored my orders and did not pay any attention to me.” Yang Feng fumed, “Today, I will put the words out there, if anything were to happen to Elder Shen Lingzhi, the whole Unmoving City of Darkness will be buried. No matter who it is, they cannot save you now. Haha I can one hundred percent guarantee this.”
This tough stance made Shen Lingzhi see hope.
Song Xiaojun opened her mouth about to say something when Ye Qingyu gently patted her on the shoulder, smiling, “I\'ll handle it.”
Then, he went forward two steps, standing in front of Song Xiaojun\'s body, and swept his eyes across Yang Feng and the others, “I\'m afraid you can\'t guarantee that.”
Yang Feng trembled inwardly when he heard this.
As a chief commander of the Guardian camp of the border region, even though the border was a bitter and cold remote place, he naturally was aware of the fact that Ye Qingyu had become a new Emperor. Adding to this, he had already seen the formation text and portrait of the new Emperor. He had already recognized the identity of Ye Qingyu earlier, but intentionally pretended to not know anything. Now that Ye Qingyu had stood up, he did not know how to handle the situation.
This was because Ye Qingyu’s Emperor status was different from a Sinner like Song Xiaojun. Ye Qingyu had become Emperor with the identity of a Guardian aristocrat, which meant that he was a present age sovereign of the Guardian camp, and can govern and dominate everything. Even a commander-in-chief has to bow to the orders of a present age sovereign.
“Who are you, to dare to speak to me like this?” Yang Feng chose to continue to act ignorant.
What status did Ye Qingyu have now? He can\'t be mad at a person like him.
He raised his hand into the void and a gush of Emperor power shot out, transforming into a blue rope, which, with a flash of brilliance, hooked onto Yang Feng, sealing all his yuan qi and then directly dragged him over.
“Ridiculous, how dare you attack me. Capture him,” Yang Feng bellowed, continuing to pretend not to know anything. At the same time he issued an order to the experts of the esteemed masters group to attack.
The numerous peak Quasi-emperor experts made a move to stop Ye Qingyu at the same time.
This was the moment that Ye Qingyu was waiting for.
A tremendous power gushed out from his palm, and the blue light rope that twisted around Yang Feng began to quiver, like a dragon spiraling around, and directly wrapped around the six Quasi-emperors. In the blink of an eye, it was as though there were seven grasshoppers pinned to a rope. They were all tied together with Yang Feng.
Ye Qingyu withdrew the strength gathered at his palm.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Yang Feng, along with the other Quasi-emperors, tumbled to the ground, like rolling gourds. All were dropped onto the steps in front of the Divine Palace of Darkness.
There was complete silence all around.
This move had astonished everyone.
The Quasi-emperor experts, in front of Ye Qingyu, were unable to withstand a single blow.
“I was surprised,” Ye Qingyu spoke, a strange look coming onto his face.
His eyes ran across these people, and finally fell on the furious face of Yang Feng, who was about to open his mouth and bellow his grievances. His pair of eyes was like a sword, containing frightening power, and his voice was resounding as the clang of metals, “You are one of the four chief commanders of the borders. You should have heard about how King Zhenyuan, the Sky Fox clan, the Sky-reaching clan and the Dark Feather clan ended. Yet at this time, you still dare to play this game. Do you think that I don\'t dare to kill you? Do you think your neck is harder than those people so I can’t kill you?”
Suddenly, Yang Feng was unable to utter a single word that he wanted to say.
There were still a lot of schemes and responses in his mind, but facing Ye Qingyu\'s coldness and indifference, seeing that he looked at him with a gaze like he was looking at an insignificant insect, Yang Feng immediately lost the courage to act ignorant. Then, at the thought of those who had died in the hands of Ye Qingyu, Yang Feng\'s greed and distracting thoughts all vanished without a trace, and all that remained was fear.
He suddenly reacted, and even he himself was confused as to where he got the courage to dare to go against this merciless and murderous new Emperor?
“I... Yang Feng, chief commander of the great wall border, pays respect to Your Majesty.”
Yang Feng dropped down to his knees in fear and dared not to even lift his head up.
The other six captured Quasi-emperors had long guessed the identity that Ye Qingyu had, but it wasn\'t until this time that they began to quiver inwardly, regretting their previous actions. Why would they be so stupid to fight against a new Emperor. But now it was already too late. Even Chief Commander Yang Feng had acknowledged Ye Qingyu’s identity, what can they, who have nothing but a nominal post and no real power, do?
“We pay respect to Your Majesty.”
“We pay respect to Your Majesty.”
The six Quasi-emperors all dropped to their knees, their posture incomparably respectful.
The air above the army of the Guardian camp above was filled with the sound of gasping.
On the contrary, the soldiers of the Unmoving City of Darkness who were worried that Song Xiaojun\'s stance and action would anger the Guardian nobles, upon seeing this scene, were all speechless from astonishment.
The sudden reversal of the situation left many lower-level soldiers a little confused.
They did not see Ye Qingyu up close that day, and was unaware of the dialogue between Ye Qingyu, Wang Jianru and other people. They also did not know that this handsome white-clothed man who descended with Her Majesty was the new Emperor who wiped out the Invaders, reversed the war situation and treated their injuries that day. They were still speculating who this person actually was. Not only did he possess unimaginable strength, from the scene he also seemed to be well-respected, and even the usually domineering Yang Feng, one of the chief commanders of the border, was like a dog that has had his spine and skin removed, begging for mercy.
It was only a few more well-informed higher-ups, who had seen Ye Qingyu that day, and were able to vaguely guess what was going on. From what Lingyun had said before, they knew what side the new Emperor of the Guardian camp was on. They finally were able to breathe a sigh of relief and the weight on their heart was also immediately removed.
In the distance, Deputy Commander Xie, who was about to continue to clamour, immediately panicked when he saw that Yang Feng had acknowledged the identity of Ye Qingyu.
At this time, it was already impossible for him to hide among the pile of people. He had no choice but to put on an awkward smile and explain, “Subordinate was unaware who I was dealing with. I did not know that Your Majesty had descended. I deserve to die ten thousand deaths for my crime... Generals, hurry pay respect to His Majesty the new Emperor.”
With that, Deputy Commander Xie respectfully kowtowed to Ye Qingyu.
The other Guardian soldiers of the borders, at the sight of this scene, also gradually reacted, sank to their knees and dared not to look straight at Ye Qingyu for fear of angering the new Emperor. The weapons in their hands also clattered to the ground.
“We pay respect to Your Majesty.”
The sound of almost one hundred thousand00 soldiers paying their respect, like the call of the mountains, reverberated across the entire Unmoving City of Darkness, pierced the sky, and instantly scattered the smoke and haze that shrouded the city. Bright and beautiful sunshine beamed through the dark clouds, lighting up the Unmoving City of Darkness that was saturated with blood and death.
“Knowing that I have come, how dare you do such a despicable thing?” Ye Qingyu fumed.
No one dared to answer.
All heads were as low as it could be.
“Pass on my order, within a quarter of an hour, the great army must withdraw from the Unmoving City of Darkness and set up an encampment hundreds of kilometers from the city.” Ye Qingyu’s white robe was as pure as snow, his black hair fluttering in the breeze, and he radiated an indescribable Emperor charm, like an Immortal, a deity. His words were like the law that no one dared to disobey. “Tell the other three chief commanders of the border to come see me in the Unmoving City of Darkness within half an hour. If they dare to be late, strip them off their rank and flow for thirty million kilometers”—— “
