You get Lu Bu as your starting character.

Chapter 384 I'll send you and the Great Yan to hell together.
"Ancestor."

Before the young man could even put the medicine in his mouth, the patriarch of the Great Yan royal family coughed up blood and died.

The pillar of the Great Yan royal family, a venerable figure who had reached the ninth reincarnation realm, and an ancestor who had protected the Great Yan for countless years, died just like that.

It has to be said that this is somewhat regrettable.

Without the protection of this ancestor who had reached the ninth reincarnation realm, the decline of the Great Yan Dynasty was already inevitable, regardless of the outcome today.

The young man put down his ancestor, stood up, and gave Lü Bu a hostile look.

The young man knew that even though he was a true disciple of the Qingyun Sect, he was not qualified to speak harshly to a semi-saint like Lü Bu.

So the young man said nothing and walked back to the old man with graying hair.

The young man said sadly to the old man, "Master, my ancestor has died."

The elderly man with graying hair glanced at the corpse of the Great Yan royal ancestor on the ground, then looked at Lü Bu with a grim expression; "Didn't you hear what I said just now?"

"I told you to stop, why did you still kill people?"

The old man looked at Lü Bu and said in a gloomy tone.

"Do I, Lü Bu, need your permission to kill someone?"

"Who do you think you are?"

Lu Bu calmly looked at the old man, not taking him seriously at all.

Even though they are both demigods, there are differences in strength.

Lu Bu was an invincible demigod with heaven-defying combat power. Not to mention an old man who was merely a demigod, Lu Bu was not afraid of even a true saint.

"Hmph, do you think that having the strength of a half-saint gives you the right to look down on everyone?"

"This world is vast. Even a half-saint can only reign supreme within a dynasty. Above a dynasty, there is an imperial dynasty."

"I am the Fifth Elder of the Qingyun Sect. I hope you can stop here today and leave with your people."

The old man stared coldly at Lü Bu.

The old man would not easily take action against Lü Bu before he had figured out Lü Bu's true strength.

Although the old man was a savior brought by the Great Yan, he would not fight to the death with a half-saint for the sake of the Great Yan.

That's not worth it.

At their level of strength, generally speaking, without sufficient mutual benefit, no one will engage in a major conflict.

After all, at their level of strength, once they make a move, regardless of the outcome, even a minor injury will require a considerable price to recover from.

Therefore, the old man directly revealed his identity to Lü Bu, hoping that Lü Bu would back down and avoid fighting.

however.

The reputation of the Qingyun Sect may be great, and it may frighten many people, causing many to voluntarily retreat.

But this absolutely does not include Lü Bu.

Lu Bu didn't even respect the imperial court, let alone the Qingyun Sect.

Upon hearing that the old man was the Fifth Elder of the Qingyun Sect, Lü Bu's expression remained unchanged; "Does your Qingyun Sect even deserve to obstruct my Great Zhou?"

"Without further ado."

"Since you dare to obstruct my Great Zhou from annihilating Great Yan, then I will send you and Great Yan to hell together."

Lu Bu unleashed his overwhelming demonic energy, then brought his five fingers together and threw a punch.

In an instant.

The sky darkened, and a fierce wind arose.

A wave of fist energy tore through space and slammed into the fifth elder of the Qingyun Sect.

"This is?"

"Special bloodline?"

Feeling the pressure emanating from his bloodline, the Fifth Elder of the Qingyun Sect had a solemn expression.

"Azure Cloud Hand".

The power of a semi-saint within the Fifth Elder of the Qingyun Sect surged forth. He reached out with one hand, and the power of the semi-saint condensed into a form, directly meeting Lu Bu's punch.

Although the Fifth Elder of the Qingyun Sect looked solemn, he did not think he was no match for Lü Bu.

Those who awaken their bloodline are incredibly powerful in battle, but their overall strength is no joke either.

Since the other party is unwilling to back down, then we'll have to settle things with our own strength.

Bang!
Fist and palm touch.

The heavens and earth trembled.

The Fifth Elder of the Qingyun Sect felt as if he were a lone boat on a vast ocean, helplessly drifting like a grain of sand in a storm.

"puff……"

Blood spurted out.

The figure of the fifth elder of the Qingyun Sect was sent flying backward.

After the Fifth Elder regained his footing, he felt as if his whole body was being torn apart by pain. Countless cracks appeared on his body, as if a strong wind could shatter him into pieces.

The fifth elder of the Qingyun Sect stared at Lü Bu in horror.

"An invincible demigod?"

The Fifth Elder of the Qingyun Sect never expected that an invincible half-saint would appear in this barren dynasty, and that he was also a person with a special bloodline.

It's important to know that there are four levels of demigods: beginner demigod, intermediate demigod, advanced demigod, and invincible demigod.

Even within the Qingyun Sect, there are very few invincible half-saints, and the old man, as the fifth elder of the Qingyun Sect, is only a high-level half-saint.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there's only a small difference between a high-level demigod and an invincible demigod.

But their strengths are worlds apart.

The closer you get to the end, the more crucial the difference becomes – even the slightest error can lead to a huge disparity.

"escape."

Without saying a word, the Fifth Elder of the Qingyun Sect turned and fled.

The fifth elder of the Qingyun Sect originally thought that even if a half-saint appeared in this impoverished dynasty, he would at most be a low-level half-saint or a mid-level half-saint.

But unexpectedly, he turned out to be an invincible demigod.

At this point, the Fifth Elder of the Qingyun Sect no longer cared about the life or death of the Great Yan; escaping was the priority.

An invincible demigod is not someone a high-level demigod like him can deal with.

Moreover, the other party is a person with a special bloodline.

"Want to escape?"

"With me here, do you think you can escape?"

Lu Bu took a step forward, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot, chasing after the direction in which the Fifth Elder of the Qingyun Sect had fled like a shooting star.

soon.

The two figures disappeared into the distant Tianji, one after the other.

Watching Lu Bu and the Fifth Elder of the Qingyun Sect, both half-saints, disappear into the distance, Han Xin withdrew his gaze.

Han Xin glanced around, his expression somewhat indifferent.

The city walls were littered with corpses, severed limbs and broken arms lying scattered about, and not a single defender remained standing on the walls.

Even the Emperor of Yan, the ruler of the Great Yan, and his civil and military officials all fell to the ground, some without even a complete corpse left behind.

This is the consequence of the battle between two demigods.

Even a single move from the aftershocks of a battle between demigods is not something everyone can withstand.

To be honest, if Han Xin and his men hadn't intervened in time to protect everything inside the imperial city, the aftershocks of the battle between Lü Bu and the fifth elder of the Qingyun Sect would have likely devastated the entire city, turning it into ruins and a dead city.

As for the young man who was with the Fifth Elder of the Qingyun Sect, he was right in the middle of the fight between the two half-saints and was directly caught up in it, leaving not even a trace behind.

"Order the army to enter the city."

Han Xin didn't say much, but simply waved his hand, ordering the army outside the city to enter.

Now, all the guards on and around the city walls are dead, and even the Yan Emperor and the civil and military officials who followed him have all died in the aftermath of the battle between the two half-saints. Therefore, the imperial city of the Great Yan is now free of any obstacles.

At Han Xin's command, the army outside the city, led by Huo Qubing, marched into the imperial city with great momentum. ...

Big week.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhou Chen sat upright on the dragon throne, cultivating the Emperor's Conferment of Gods Technique.

Since conquering and destroying Dayue and then attacking Dayan, the national fortune of the Great Zhou has increased considerably, and Zhou Chen's cultivation of the Emperor's Conferment of Gods Technique has also progressed several times faster than before.

Streams of national fortune converged in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and as the Emperor's Conferring of Gods Technique was activated, they surged into Zhou Chen's body.

Zhou Chen's aura was also rising steadily.

"Click."

When Zhou Chen's momentum reached a certain peak, it was as if he had broken through some shackles, and a series of flood-like sounds of breaking down doors came from Zhou Chen's body.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Chen seemed to be the master of heaven and earth, his consciousness able to freely descend upon every corner of the Great Zhou.

"This is…"

"The Emperor's Conferring of Gods Technique is indeed profound."

Zhou Chen opened his eyes, his bright eyes shining like stars.

Zhou Chen knew that this was the Emperor's application of divine deification to the fate of the nation.

"If the sixth level of the Emperor's Conferment of Gods Technique has such wonderful uses, I wonder what mysteries the seventh, eighth, or even ninth levels will hold."

That's right.

After this period of cultivation, Zhou Chen's Emperor's Conferring God Technique has broken through to the sixth level.

The sixth level of the Emperor's Conferring God Technique made Zhou Chen appear even more dazzling, as if in a dream, close at hand yet far away.

at this time.

Cao Zhengchun strode into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Your Majesty, Cao Shaoqin just sent back news that the Fifth Elder of the Qingyun Sect went to the Great Yan to help the Great Yan resist our army. However, the Fifth Elder of the Qingyun Sect was no match for General Lü and fled."

"The emperor of Great Yan and some civil and military officials were all killed by the aftershocks of the battle between General Lü and the fifth elder of Qingyun Sect."

"Now, General Han and General Lü have captured the capital of the Great Yan, and the ancestor of the Great Yan royal family has been killed by General Lü."

"This is the detailed report that has been sent back. Please take a look, Your Majesty."

As Cao Zhengchun spoke, he handed the report in his hand directly to Zhou Chen.

"Oh!"

Zhou Chen's expression changed, and he immediately took the report from Cao Zhengchun's hand and began to read it.

"it is good."

"With the death of the Yan Emperor and the fall of the imperial city, the Great Yan will be in the hands of my Great Zhou."

"The outcome of the Great Yan war is decided."

After reading the report, Zhou Chen laughed.

Once the capital of the Great Yan was breached and the Yan emperor died, it was as if the Great Yan had been destroyed.

Now, the revenge for the attacks on the Great Zhou by the two great dynasties of Da Yue and Da Yan has finally been achieved.

From this moment on, the Great Zhou Dynasty not only established itself in the Wilderness Realm, but also established itself there by forcefully annihilating two great dynasties.

Zhou Chen looked at the contents of the report, his smile undisguised.

However, Zhou Chen also knew that although the Great Zhou had established itself in the Wilderness Realm and successively wiped out the Great Yan and the Great Zhou Dynasty, avenging the previous attacks on the Great Zhou by the two great dynasties.

However, the number of enemies of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not decrease.

The enemies of the Great Zhou have not decreased, but rather increased in number and become stronger.

First, the Mu family, then the Ziyang Sect.

Now another sect, the Qingyun Sect, has arrived.

Zhou Chen had no idea whether his Great Zhou had run into bad luck or been cursed.

We just finished dealing with one batch of enemies, and now another batch, even more and stronger, has arrived.

This doesn't even include the Azure Dragon Dynasty.

If the Azure Dragon Dynasty were added, the Great Zhou would still be surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Zhou Chen's smile faded as he looked at the report, tapping his fingers on the dragon desk in deep thought.

Qingyun Sect?
This is no ordinary sect.

Like the Ziyang Sect, the Qingyun Sect is a top-tier sect and a leading force in the Eastern Region, and its influence cannot be ignored.

Even the Azure Dragon Dynasty, a hegemon that dominates the Eastern Region, is wary of top sects like the Azure Cloud Sect and the Purple Sun Sect.

The power of the sects did not surpass that of the dynasty, but it was essentially equal to that of the dynasty.

Although in name, sects are under the jurisdiction of the imperial dynasty.

In reality, the imperial dynasty could not control the power of the sects, and the sects were powerful enough to rival the imperial dynasty.

"It seems that the Qingyun Sect is another major enemy that may be coming next."

Zhou Chen put down the report in his hand, his eyes gleaming as he thought.

The fifth elder of the Qingyun Sect was seriously injured by Lü Bu and escaped. Given the nature of these sects, this is probably more serious than killing their true disciples.

Zhou Chen closed the report, glanced at Cao Zhengchun, and said, "Spread the news of our Great Zhou's great victory in conquering Great Yan to all officials."

"At the same time, Fang Xuanling and the other six ministers, along with the Eighth Prince Zhou Xian, were summoned to the palace for a meeting."

"Old slave obeys the order."

Cao Zhengchun bowed and withdrew from the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

……

Zongren Mansion.

When Zhou Xian, the Eighth Prince, received the news that Han Xin had conquered and destroyed the Great Yan, he was extremely excited.

"it is good."

"Our Great Zhou has successively wiped out the two great dynasties of Great Yue and Great Yan, and has finally established itself in this barbaric land."

"This can be considered revenge for the Marquis of Donghuang and the millions of soldiers who died on the frontier."

"The Eighth Prince Zhou Xian said happily."

Back then, the Great Zhou Dynasty had just merged into the Great Wilderness, and was extremely weak, facing enemies on all sides, and struggling to survive in the cracks.

First came the attack from the Hundred Cities of the Great Wilderness, followed by invasions from the two great dynasties of Great Yue and Great Yan.

The entire Zhou Dynasty was shrouded in uncertainty and turmoil.

One wrong move and the world could be in jeopardy.

The Eastern Wilderness Army, the Southern Army, the Northern Army, and the Western Liang Army followed one after another, and countless soldiers of the Great Zhou shed their blood on the border.

Even the most elite Divine Martial Guard of the Great Zhou Dynasty was almost entirely lost on the frontier in order to resist the attacks of the two great dynasties.

The number of soldiers who died on the frontier battlefields during the Great Zhou Dynasty was well over a million.

Even nobles like the Marquis of Donghuang died on the battlefield, their blood staining Dongyan Pass, and countless other generals perished in battle.

But now, the Great Zhou has annexed the hundred cities of the Great Wilderness and successively wiped out the two great dynasties of Great Yue and Great Yan, finally paying tribute to the heroic spirits who died for the Great Zhou.

"Someone is coming,"

"Be prepared, proceed to the palace."

The Eighth Prince, Zhou Xian, shouted loudly outside, then got up and went out.

Meanwhile, the same scene was unfolding in the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, and other six ministries.

Whether it was the ministers of the six ministries or other civil and military officials of the court, they were all happy that the Great Zhou had conquered the Great Yan.

Expanding territories was an achievement of the emperor, and also of these civil and military officials.

Upon receiving the news, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and other important officials from the Six Ministries all rushed to the palace.
