Chapter 200: Chapter 197: White Light Comes from the East

The spraying blood splashed all over, scattering onto the faces of several senior ministers beside them.

The fresh blood painted bright colors on their faces. These court officials showed no change in expression, not even a major flicker in their eyes. Only their slightly trembling bodies revealed their fear.

“Oh? What’s the matter with Lord Zheng? If your health is failing, you should recover well at home. Being so worried about state affairs truly makes us… deeply moved…”

The two-meter-tall Prime Minister turned his head slightly, gazing downwards.

“Does anyone else… have any objections…”

The Prime Minister slowly walked to the left front of the Little Emperor. His towering figure almost completely obscured the Young Emperor, who lowered his head as if asleep, with only his hand clenched tightly and his body trembling slightly.

“Your Majesty, since none of the ministers have any objections, let’s pass the law we have estimated?”

The Prime Minister walked behind the throne, placing both hands on the Emperor’s shoulders.

“Do not be arrogant!” Suddenly, like thunder, a roaring sound came from afar. A figure with Qi-Blood soaring like a wild horse dashed into the Central Palace, instantly turning the white stone slabs on the ground into powder. A figure clad in a white-robed battle armor shot toward the court like a cannonball, tearing through the air.

In the distance, soldiers in white armor surged in from all directions, and the original Imperial Forest Soldiers had disappeared.

The two-meter-long spear in the hand of the white-robed battle armor flew out in an instant, straight into the Prime Minister’s body.

The Young Emperor felt the pressure on his shoulders vanish. He raised his head abruptly, revealing a face of youthful delight.

“I apologize for being late, Your Majesty. Today, I shall ensure your safety!”

The white-robed battle armor stood in front of the Young Emperor, vigilantly looking around.

He wore simple white military attire, with hair casually draping over his shoulders and neck.

His face was gaunt, eyes like stars, filled with Evil Qi as he surveyed the surroundings, none daring to approach him.

As the Hongg Dynasty, a powerful dynasty comparable to the various Sword Dynasties, the Imperial Court naturally held a certain power.

“General… General, it’s good that you’re here…” The Young Emperor let out a sigh of relief. If not for his identity, he would probably have collapsed to the ground by now.

The white-robed general looked up, seeing over seventy percent of the court officials gazing at him with dim looks.

“Hmph!”

The white-robed general snorted coldly, sensing something amiss. With a wave of his hand, the thrown spear was about to return.

However, just three feet away from the white-robed general, a large hand firmly seized the spear.

“Northern Garrison General Xiao Changfeng, I told you not to meddle in these affairs…” A cold voice rose. The Prime Minister, once on the side, now gazed at him with an unfathomable look.

“I owe a debt of gratitude to the Imperial Court and to the millions of people of my dynasty. How can I stand by and watch.” Xiao Changfeng’s eyes revealed a solemn expression.

“So, you intend to go your own way… This is something decided by the Broken Cocoon Alliance…”

“Do you think, relying on you, relying on that Heavenly Flame, you can solve these issues…”

The Prime Minister’s skin began to writhe.

His voice became increasingly distorted. Soon, the human skin fell, revealing a gigantic centipede.

Not just him, down among the ministers, human skins began to fall, and the remaining officials barely had time to scream in terror before being dragged away and devoured alive by the monsters beneath the human skins.

What should have been the highest hall of power in the Empire was now ravaged by demonic winds, as demonic cultivators bared their fangs and claws.

All eyes fiercely turned to the figure in front of the throne.

Beads of sweat appeared on Xiao Changfeng’s forehead.

With a call, the spear flew back into his hand.

Clutching the spear, Xiao Changfeng’s Qi-Blood surged like a dragon, forming a vague apparition behind him.

If there were Jiuzhou Cultivators present, they would see that Xiao Changfeng’s path was that of a Body Cultivator, focusing on the physique with True Essence as secondary, boasting greater survivability and melee combat capability than traditional True Essence cultivators.

Outside the court hall, the white-armored soldiers lay on the ground, lifeless, with only scorching blood slowly flowing out and evaporating, staining the outside of the court hall a crimson red.

“Ha!”

Brandishing the spear, Xiao Changfeng’s Qi-Blood coiled around him like a coiling dragon, attempting to escort the Young Emperor out of the court hall.

“Xiao Changfeng, thank you for bringing the blood sacrifice…”

At this moment, a soft chuckle was heard, and a large hand grasped Xiao Changfeng’s head.

“Crack—” The sound of steel snapping echoed.

The Young Emperor tumbled to the ground, rolling several times.

When he looked up in bewilderment, a headless figure in simple white military attire was kneeling in front of him.

A disheveled, glaring head rolled in front of him several times, stopping at his feet.

“Come…”

A light decree fell in front of the Young Emperor.

On it were lines of glaring words…

“All citizens of the Imperial Capital, gather in the Central Market, summon the citizens of the Capital Region to the Imperial Capital…”

The Prime Minister before him… no, this monster intended to devour the entire citizens of the Imperial Capital.

Not just the Imperial Capital!

He wanted to devour half of the citizens of the Capital Region.

“I… I will not allow you to treat my citizens this way!!” The Emperor shouted, his face flushed with anger.

In the next moment, a large hand clamped around the Emperor’s neck.

“Do you think I’m negotiating with you?”

Demon Qi soared, drawing boundless dark clouds, and the Imperial Capital was no longer bathed in sunlight.

The citizens of the Imperial Capital looked up at the gloomy weather with some curiosity but didn’t pay much attention, continuing with their work.

In the distance, an elder among a traveling group suddenly raised his head and looked towards the Imperial Capital.

“It’s too late, quick!”

On a high mountain, a white-clothed Daoist looked at the distant Imperial Capital and sighed, saying nothing more.

In a city’s marketplace, an elder suddenly looked towards the Imperial Capital and likewise said nothing.

Three sword-bearing figures stood on the city wall of the Imperial Capital, coldly gazing at the soaring Demon Qi in the Central Palace.

And further away, in the boundless forest, excited howls erupted everywhere.

An elder wearing an Eight Diagrams Taoist Robe sat cross-legged in a Cave Mansion on a high mountain. After making a calculation with his fingers, he sighed slightly and said, “Even though many were sacrificed, if a Great Demon at the Golden Core Level can emerge, it is indeed a good thing…”

“But it’s a pity for this Hongg Dynasty. Everything will have to start anew…” The elder closed his eyes slightly, beginning to meditate.

However, in the next second, he suddenly opened his eyes, his body turning into a blur as he rushed towards the wall of the Cave Mansion, merging into it, and reappearing on the mountain wall.

He suddenly looked towards the Imperial Capital.

“Damn it!”

In the sky, a white Flowing Light streaked from the east and vanished in the blink of an eye.
