Chapter 383 Dayan will be destroyed today
Luoyang City.

Mushi Chamber of Commerce.

Master Mu looked down at the traffic and people on the street outside the window, his expression calm.

Beside him, Commander Mu stood respectfully to the side, waiting patiently.

a long time.

Master Mu said leisurely, "The little girl from back then has really grown up. She has actually learned to cultivate her own power. Her methods are quite good."

It has been several days since Master Mu ordered the Mu Clan Chamber of Commerce to withdraw from the Great Zhou.

However, the Mu Clan Chamber of Commerce in various cities of the Great Zhou Dynasty remained silent, which even the most foolish person could see was a problem.

Not to mention the fifth master of the Mu family.

Master Mu never imagined that he, the fifth master of the prestigious Mu family, would be unable to command his own family's chamber of commerce—how ironic!

Needless to say, Master Mu knew that this must have been the work of his niece, Mu Yuyan.

Obviously.

The Mu Clan Chambers of Commerce in various cities of the Great Zhou Dynasty were all under Mu Yuyan's control, becoming her personal possessions.

Furthermore, it wasn't just the Mu Clan Merchant Guilds in various cities of the Great Zhou that became Mu Yuyan's possessions; it's likely that many Mu Clan Merchant Guilds in other cities also belonged to Mu Yuyan.

However, Master Mu didn't pay too much attention to these things.

This Great Zhou will soon become a place of trouble. Since those people from the Mu Clan Chamber of Commerce want to stay in Great Zhou and seek death, he will not say anything more.

He only needed to wait for the Mu family to send someone to take Mu Yuyan away.

As long as Mu Yuyan is taken away, her people in the Mu Clan Chamber of Commerce will not be able to cause any trouble, and the wings that Mu Yuyan has cultivated will crumble on their own.

As for the rest, the Mu family doesn't need to worry about it; someone will handle it.

It would be strange if an imperial court could tolerate a dynasty that dared to send troops to conquer and destroy Da Yue, attack Da Yan, and even consolidate its national destiny.

……

Great Yan.

Imperial City.

The entire city was under martial law, with armored soldiers standing tall on the city walls, their bows and crossbows fully prepared. The dark clouds of war loomed over the entire imperial city.

The city's protective formations had already been activated and were operating at high speed to safeguard the imperial city.

The Yan Emperor looked at the large army gathered outside the city, and his face turned grim.

Emperor Yan did not expect that even though he had mobilized the most elite Yan Yun Guards and ordered all the powerful families and clans of Yan to send their best warriors to fight against the Zhou army, he still could not hold back the Zhou army's advance. In just three days, the Zhou army arrived at the gates of the imperial city.

"It seems there's no chance of getting reinforcements."

The Yan Emperor gazed at the Zhou army outside the city and thought grimly.

Originally, after the defeat of the million-strong army, the Yan Emperor thought that by mobilizing the Yan Yun Guard and having powerful members of various aristocratic families send their best warriors to accompany the army, he could withstand the Zhou army's attack, delay their advance, and buy time for reinforcements to arrive.

But now it seems that the Yan Emperor was just making assumptions.

Now, Zhou's army is at the city gates, and the life and death of the Great Yan can be said to be hanging by a thread.

Behind the Yan Emperor stood a group of civil and military officials, all of whom stared solemnly at the Zhou army outside the city.

None of them expected that Zhou Jun's attack would be so fierce, sweeping through the city like autumn leaves in the wind, reaching the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty with unstoppable momentum.

Even though they dispatched their most elite Yan Yun Guards and experts from various powerful families, they still couldn't stop Zhou Jun's advance.

They couldn't understand why a native dynasty that had just merged into the Great Wilderness would have such formidable strength.

Where did all those Reincarnation Realm Venerables in Zhou Jun come from?
The three ministers withdrew their gaze and said to the Yan Emperor, "Your Majesty, the Zhou army is now in high spirits and has reached the outskirts of the capital. For the sake of the thousand-year foundation of our Great Yan, we beg Your Majesty to move your capital and temporarily avoid their advance before making further plans."

"Yes! Your Majesty, the Zhou army is coming with great force. Why don't you temporarily avoid their attack and wait for reinforcements? As long as Your Majesty is here, our Great Yan will survive."

"Your Majesty, we humbly request that you temporarily withdraw your carriage to avoid the Zhou army's advance."

Following the words of the three dukes, all the civil and military officials also spoke up, requesting that the Yan Emperor move his residence.

They could all see that Zhou's army was coming on strong and unstoppable, and that the imperial city could not be defended.

The Great Yan had suffered heavy losses and was no match for the Zhou army's offensive.

Since that's the case, it's better to leave first, avoid their sharp edge, and wait for reinforcements.

As the saying goes, as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.

Once reinforcements arrive, the Great Zhou will be unable to cause any major trouble, and the crisis facing the Great Yan will naturally be resolved.

"Move over?"

"Temporarily avoid their sharp edge?"

"Do you want me to flee? To become a running emperor?"

The Emperor of Yan surveyed the civil and military officials behind him with a dignified expression.

How could the Emperor of Yan not understand the meaning behind the words of these civil and military officials!
However, as the emperor of the Great Yan, the supreme ruler of Great Yan, the dignity of the emperor did not allow the Yan emperor to escape.

Emperor Yan certainly understood the principle that as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.

However, once the Yan Emperor escapes, the Great Yan royal family will lose most of its strength, and even its last shred of imperial authority will be lost.

How should those soldiers and generals who died fighting for the Great Yan against the Great Zhou, as well as the experts and powerful figures from various aristocratic families, view the Yan Emperor and the Great Yan royal family?

At that time, how will the Yan Emperor govern the vast land of Great Yan, and how will his royal family establish itself in Great Yan?

"I am the Emperor of Great Yan. I will not abandon my people and my country and flee on my own."

"I will live and die with the Great Yan and this imperial city. Anyone who dares to utter the words 'move the capital' again will be executed."

Therefore, the Emperor of Yan could not escape. Even knowing that he could not withstand the Zhou army and that his country might be destroyed today, the Emperor of Yan had to face death without fear.

The Emperor of Yan's powerful voice reached everyone's ears, invigorating the soldiers on the city wall and filling them with high spirits.

Since the emperor has made this decision, the soldiers below are naturally willing to fight to the death.

"Good, this is the kind of integrity that the Emperor of Great Yan should have."

As soon as the Emperor of Yan finished speaking, an old figure walked out from the depths of the palace in the city.

In an instant, they arrived in front of Emperor Yan on the city wall.

"Ancestor."

Upon seeing the newcomer, the Yan Emperor immediately greeted him respectfully.

That's right.

This aged figure was none other than the ancestor of the Great Yan royal family, the pillar supporting Great Yan, and a powerful figure who had entered the ninth cycle of reincarnation.

The civil and military officials behind Emperor Yan immediately bowed to the ancestor of the Great Yan royal family.

The royal ancestor glanced at the Yan Emperor and said nothing, but instead looked solemnly at the Zhou army outside the city.

From the Zhou army outside the city, the ancestor of the Great Yan royal family sensed no less than a dozen powerful auras.

Each aura belonged to a Venerable One who had entered the Reincarnation Realm.

One of them even possessed an aura that was comparable to his own.

With so many Reincarnation Realm Venerables, even with the city's protective formation, it probably wouldn't last long.

The heart of this royal patriarch sank to the bottom.

"Click."

however.

at this time.

A beam of blue light shot out from the Zhou army.

The city-protecting formation, which the Great Yan royal family's patriarch believed could hold out for a while, was instantly cleaved in two by the azure light and reduced to dust. This scene caused the Great Yan royal family's patriarch's pupils to shrink in shock.

It should be understood that even for a Venerable like him who has reached the Ninth Reincarnation Realm, breaking through the city's protective formation would not be something he could do in a short time.

But now, the city's protective formation has been broken in one strike. What does this mean?
Not only was the royal patriarch shocked, but Emperor Yan and the civil and military officials behind him were also astonished.

Originally, they thought that the formation of the imperial city could hold off the Zhou army for a while and allow them to stall for time.

Unexpectedly, the formation of the imperial city was broken by the Zhou army in a single blow.

In that case, their biggest advantage is gone.

Without the city's protective formations, the Zhou army could directly storm the city walls. How could the forces within the imperial city possibly withstand the Zhou army's attack?

Before Emperor Yan and his men could react, more than a dozen figures soared into the sky from the Zhou army outside the city, walking through the air.

In the blink of an eye, these dozen or so figures appeared in the sky above the city wall.

Each figure exuded a terrifying aura.

More than a dozen terrifying auras intertwined, making most of the people on the city wall feel the scent of death.

One by one, they vomited blood and collapsed to the ground.

Even the Yan Emperor and the powerful civil and military officials behind him all coughed up blood under the combined force of these dozen or so terrifying auras.

"presumptuous."

Upon seeing this, the royal ancestor immediately soared into the sky, his powerful aura spreading out to confront the dozen or so intertwined auras.

At the same time, four more figures soared into the sky and stood beside the royal patriarch.

This is the only remaining top-tier fighting force in the Great Yan Imperial City.

As for the other Reincarnation Realm retainers of the royal family and the other Reincarnation Realm Venerables in the imperial city, they had all perished while fighting against the Zhou army.

"You are so brave."

"How dare you disregard the imperial decree and launch an attack on my Great Yan, starting a war? Do you know what the consequences will be?"

"Aren't you afraid of being punished by the dynasty?"

The royal patriarch looked at the dozen or so figures and said coldly.

"Ha, wasn't this war started by your Great Yan?"

"Does this mean that only your Great Yan is allowed to attack my Great Zhou, but my Great Zhou is not allowed to attack your Great Yan?"

Han Xin looked at the royal ancestor and sneered.

That's right.

These dozen or so figures were Han Xin, Zhao Yun, Pei Yuanqing, Lü Bu, and more than ten Reincarnation Realm Venerables from Great Yue that Lü Bu brought with him.

To be honest, Han Xin was able to reach the capital of the Great Yan so quickly thanks to the dozen or so Reincarnation Realm Venerables that Lü Bu brought.

If it weren't for Lü Bu and the dozen or so Reincarnation Realm Venerables from Da Yue, Han Xin wouldn't have been able to conquer the capital of Da Yan so quickly and decisively.

After all, the Great Yan was a dynasty that had stood for many years without falling, with many powerful figures. No matter how strong Han Xin, Zhao Yun, and Pei Yuanqing were, they could not sweep through the entire Great Yan in a short period of time.

"Enough with the nonsense, the Great Yan shall be destroyed today."

Lu Bu took a step forward, his hand forming a palm strike, aimed at the royal ancestor of the Great Yan.

This is…

Half Saint?

Faced with Lu Bu's palm strike, the patriarch of the Great Yan royal family's pupils shrank and his expression changed drastically.

The Yan Emperor and his civil and military officials on the city wall also sensed the semi-saint aura emanating from Lü Bu, and all of them were horrified.

None of them expected that Lü Bu, the demigod of the Great Zhou, would actually come.

No wonder Zhou Jun was able to reach the capital of Great Yan so quickly. They sent their most elite Yan Yun Guards and powerful figures from various aristocratic families, but none of them could stop Zhou Jun.

"stop."

at this time.

A loud shout came from the sky.

A colossal hand, radiating terrifying power, swept down from the distant horizon to meet Lü Bu's palm strike.

boom……

The two palms touched, stirring up waves of wind and tearing apart countless spaces.

The terrifying power emanating from that colossal hand was dispersed by Lu Bu's palm strike, and continued to strike towards the royal ancestor of the Great Yan.

"puff."

A mouthful of blood spurted out.

Faced with Lü Bu's terrifying palm strike, the royal ancestor of the Great Yan Dynasty had no power to resist and was sent flying.

As for the four Reincarnation Realm Venerables standing beside this Great Yan royal ancestor, they were not spared either, having already been blasted away by the wind and waves stirred up by the collision of their palms.

Lu Bu looked up at the sky.

A demonic beast flew in, and on its back stood two figures.

In the blink of an eye, the demonic beast flew over the imperial city.

The powerful aura emanating from the demonic beast was in no way inferior to that of Han Xin and Zhao Yun, who were at the Reincarnation Realm.

Is this a seventh-tier great demon?

Han Xin's expression turned solemn as he watched the approaching monster.

A person who can command a seventh-tier demon and use a seventh-tier demon as a mount must be of extraordinary status.

When Emperor Yan saw the young figure among the two figures on the demon beast, his expression immediately became excited.

"coming."

"Reinforcements are coming."

"Great Yan is saved."

The Yan Emperor had not expected that reinforcements would arrive at this crucial moment.

It's truly a miracle that Heaven didn't forsake the Great Yan!
Not only Emperor Yan, but also the civil and military officials behind him were extremely excited when they saw the young figure on the back of the monster.

Because that young figure was none other than the chosen one of the Great Yan royal family, a prodigy who had joined the sect, and the savior that Great Yan had sent.

Compared to the excitement of Emperor Yan and his entourage, Pei Yuanqing and Zhao Yun looked at the two figures on the back of the demon beast with utmost solemnity.

Pei Yuanqing and his group didn't care about the young figure; what they cared about was the figure of an old man with slightly graying hair.

Pei Yuanqing and Zhao Yun both sensed the same aura emanating from their opponent as Lu Bu.

Obviously.

The old man with slightly gray hair on the back of the monster was a semi-saint level expert.

After the demonic beast flew over the imperial city, the two figures on its back descended from the sky.

The young figure rushed to the side of the Great Yan royal ancestor and helped him up; "Ancestor, are you alright!"

"I have healing pills here."

As he spoke, the young man hurriedly took out a pill, intending to give it to the royal ancestor.

Unfortunately, the patriarch's eyes had begun to glaze over, and his life force was nearing its end.

Even though Lu Bu's palm strike was weakened considerably by the power gathered by that sky-covering hand, it was still beyond what this royal ancestor could withstand.
