Whale Falls and Becomes a God

Chapter 41: Fall of the Stars
"here it is……"

The emergence of so many and high-level divine seats was even worse than the Jiangdu Prison. Xiao Ying was surprised and began to observe the surrounding environment carefully.

In order to collect as many star souls as possible, Xiao Ying and the other two carefully traveled around half of the Forbidden Palace, basically sneaking in the shadows, but now they have arrived deep into the Forbidden Palace.

In the vast square outside the palace in the distance, there were dense guards, numerous civil officials and military generals. The solid and smooth ground was cracked, with corpses everywhere and blood staining the ground.

Judging from the hideous corpses alone, it is estimated that more than 10,000 people died here, the majority of whom were guards in armor, followed by the brave soldiers, and then eunuchs and palace maids. There were also some envoys from Zhoutian, civil officials and military generals, people in gorgeous clothes and tight-fitting outfits, etc.

This was just the square outside the palace. Guards were busy going in and out of the nearby palace, constantly carrying out corpses and escorting out crying or despairing captives.

"It seems... because of me and Empress Xiao, the traitors were unable to forge an imperial edict to transfer Zhou Tian's envoy away, and had to resort to forced killing, which resulted in so many high-quality casualties..."

After a rough observation, Xiao Ying suddenly realized something and didn't know whether to be happy or blame himself.

The rebel camp was naturally happy because of the heavy casualties, with countless guards and strong men killed, which indirectly weakened the strength of the rebels.

What I feel guilty about is that such a brutal battle must have resulted in the deaths of many innocent people.

Following this, Xiao Ying curiously looked at the Blood Demon Picture:
Main deities: Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty and Eunuch Yang.

Vice deities: Sima Dekan, Linghu Xingda, Meng Bing, Feng Deyi, Prince of Qi Yang Ling, Prince of Zhao Yang Gao, Prince of Shu Yang Xiu and his seven sons (Yang Xiao, Yang Ming, etc.), Yu Shiji, Pei Yun, Lai Huer, Yuan Chong, Yuwen Xie, Yuwen Jing, Yuwen Bi, Xiao Ju, Zhang Huishao, Dugu Kaiyuan, Prince of Yan Yang Dan...

"This... is truly tragic..."

After a preliminary understanding, Xiao Ying was secretly astonished and shocked.

The above are well-known civil and military officials, royal family members, and important ministers of the emperor's sons who have left their names in history. Even Xiao Ying's original self is well-known. There are many people that Xiao Ying is not familiar with, and they are obviously extraordinary, otherwise they would not have become deputy gods.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was not a burden and died unexpectedly at such an early age, which is also in line with historical facts.

Eunuch Yang, originally named Chen Shushen, was a minister of the royal family of the Southern Chen Dynasty. He was the sixteenth son of Emperor Xuan of Chen, Chen Xu, and a famous general and pillar of the Southern Chen Dynasty. After the fall of the Southern Chen Dynasty, he promised to protect the Sui Dynasty in exchange for the Sui Dynasty's generous treatment of the descendants of the Southern Chen Dynasty. Later, he was given the surname Yang and was called Eunuch Yang.

In Xiao Ying's past life, Chen Shushen was highly praised as the most virile member of the Southern Chen clan, the last pillar of support, and was killed for refusing to surrender. In this life, he was not killed, but surrendered to the Sui Dynasty in exchange for the continuation of the Southern Chen dynasty's descendants and their prosperity and wealth!
As for those deputy gods, each of them has left his name in history and made outstanding achievements.

Sima Dekan and Linghu Xingda were among the most important leaders of the rebels, ranking comparable to the three brothers Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenzhi.

Feng Deyi, Yu Shiji, Pei Yun and others were top civil officials, Lai Huer, Meng Bing and others were top generals, and the others were also very famous.

"Although memories from past lives can only be used as a reference and shouldn't be taken seriously, with so many famous figures killed in the Jiangdu Rebellion, the trajectory of events known from past lives must have been significantly altered, right? Does that mean... even those destined by Heaven can be killed?"

"If we were to encounter Li Shimin, the twenty-four heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion, etc. beforehand, shouldn't we kill them first, regardless of the cost?"

"Finally... all the princes who accompanied the emperor to Jiangdu were killed. Almost all members of the Sui royal family and relatives, regardless of gender, age or status, were wiped out. How heartbroken my sister (Empress Xiao) would be if she knew..."

Thousands and tens of thousands of star souls, it was impossible to understand them all in a short time. However, after getting a preliminary understanding, Xiao Ying was also shocked and his thoughts were in turmoil.

"That is……"

Dugu Feng's pupils shrank, and he exclaimed in a low voice, and then said in a voice transmission:
"Young Master Xiao! It's Princess Fengming, as well as Princess Xiangcheng, Princess Anding, the Princess Wang, Concubine Zhang, Concubine Xu, and so on... What do these damn rebels want to do?!"

Xiao Ying and Liu Qianqing looked closely and saw two teams of more than a hundred brave guards escorting dozens of beautiful women away from the bloody square.

These women looked miserable and in a disheveled manner, and many of them were wearing tattered clothes stained with blood.

Although these women were given special treatment due to their extraordinary status and stunning beauty, their fate was most likely not good.

"Young Master Xiao... the others are fine, they are powerless! But... Princess Fengming..." Dugu Feng said hesitantly.

Xiao Ying frowned in thought, remaining silent. Princess Fengming, she'd met her several times in her original memory, and their relationship was decent. Though not Empress Xiao's biological daughter, they were close. She was favored by both Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty and Empress Xiao, hence the name "Fengming," rather than the place name most princesses were known for.

Princess Fengming Yang Qingxuan is one of the four most famous concubines in the early Tang Dynasty. She is extremely beautiful, talented, and wise. She gave birth to a large number of children, grandchildren, etc. who are famous in history!

Liu Qianqing pondered and said, "Should we save them? There are only three of us. To be safe, we can only save three people, and the chances of survival are very high. If we take them hostage, it will be difficult for us to leave the palace, and there is no chance of survival..."

This is a way for Xiao Ying to save face!

"Help! Remember not to linger in the fight, head straight for the support area outside the palace!"

Xiao Ying's expression was firm, with a gleam of determination in his eyes as he said, and with a flip of his hand, he obtained the Black Crystal Dragon Sword!

The two women were startled, but they didn't say anything more. Instead, they concentrated and prepared...

"kill!"

With a light shout, Xiao Ying shot out as fast as the wind, and his sword came out of the ice, with the force like continuous ice rain, directly covering dozens of brave guards!

"Enemy attack!"

With a startling roar, the well-trained and brave guards reacted in time and drew their swords to fight!

Unfortunately, Xiao Ying and the other two are all enhanced god-level powers!

Xiao Ying's sword came out like rain, with the force of ice and snow, instantly killing more than a dozen Xiaoguo guards. As the sword rose and fell, the Xiaoguo guards fell to the ground one after another.

Dugu Feng wielded his sword like a rainbow, his body dancing like a phoenix. As the sword flashed, the brave guards bleed.

Liu Qianqing was as fast as a phantom, shuttling through the team, a cold light flashed, and blood was everywhere.

"Commander Xiao?! Xiao Feng'er?!"

The group of women, who looked miserable and desperate, all had gleams in their eyes. Princess Fengming and some of them shouted in surprise, as they hardly knew Liu Qianqing!

"Luckily, it was sealed with Xuanbing Jin. It's the Yuwen family's fault again..."

After a few breaths of slaughter, Xiao Ying came to Princess Fengming's side, put one hand on her shoulder, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

While breathing in and out his energy, he easily undid Princess Fengming's seal, and while checking on the others, he quickly gave the order:

"Save as many people as possible and leave. Don't fight!"

"Crackling..."

As he was speaking, a subtle sound was heard, and the ban on nearly twenty women was lifted. Among them, ten were first-rate or above, and they were both talented and beautiful. The quality of the palace was so high.

There are thirty-eight people in total, more than half of them are sealed by the Xuanbing Power. It is not difficult to free the others, but it takes time.

"What a courage!"

"Who?!"

"Death!"

A burst of angry roars arose, and countless powerful auras swept from all directions, with even more iron-blooded murderous energy growing and condensing, pressing towards Xiao Ying and the others. This was the elite army!
The one who moved the fastest and was closest had already attacked Xiao Ying and the others with great momentum!
