After being exiled for eighteen years, the prince returned to the capital as a veritable immortal.

"Why is the Great Feng Army attacking us?"

Wang Ben was first puzzled, then furious.

As fellow subjects of Emperor Ying, are we to fight each other?

The two armies halted and stood in a stalemate.

A passage suddenly appeared in the center.

Wang Ben spurred his horse forward.

The commander of the army blocking the way also came towards them.

"It's Bai Qi, the butcher Bai Qi!"

"The Butcher Bo Qi, the Great God of Slaughter!"

Within the army, some recognized the opposing commander.

The Great Feng general Bai Qi was not the most successful in attacking cities, nor was he the most successful in seizing territory.

The number of enemy soldiers killed was unprecedented and will never be surpassed.

The battle resulted in the killing of 400,000 enemy soldiers, making it the most devastating war in history.

There were as many as five battles in World War I in which 300,000 and 200,000 people were beheaded.

He beheaded over a million people in his lifetime, becoming the greatest killer in history.

He was known as the butcher.

Before Wang Jian and his son Wang Ben advanced to the level of terrestrial immortals.

Bai Qi was the number one general of the Great Feng Dynasty.

"General Bai, I've long admired you!"

Wang Ben clasped his hands in a salute, his face displeased, and said,

"Emperor Ying has actually kept the old general in the wings. Congratulations!"

According to historical records, Bai Qi disobeyed the orders of Emperor Ying and refused to fight against the six states.

Therefore, he was ordered to commit suicide by Emperor Ying.

It turns out that he was also sealed within the golden statue, which allowed him to live to this day.

When Wang Ben and his son were generals, Bai Qi had already been sealed away and hidden away.

Therefore, the two did not know each other.

Wang Ben destroyed the Three Kingdoms and swept across the Eight Kingdoms, his achievements surpassing those of the Great Feng.

He had little respect for a bloodthirsty butcher.

"Humph!"

Bai Qi snorted coldly and said in a deep voice,

"Emperor Ying has ordered that we besiege the Great Qian Imperial City in seven days."

"General Wang, where are we going?"

"Heh." Wang Ben sneered.

How could he not know the Emperor's command?

As the number one military god of the Great Feng Dynasty, does he really need to report to an old butcher on his military deployment?

"General, are you still able to eat?"

Wang Ben sneered, "I'm going to the capital to avenge my father. Who dares to stop me?"

brush--

With his spear drawn, Bai Qi roared, "The Emperor's command cannot be disobeyed!"

“Wang Jian’s unauthorized attack on the city is a blatant violation of military orders.”

"I advise you not to go on a campaign without authorization."

"So as not to ruin His Majesty's grand plan."

Wang Ben was humiliated and furious when his friendly forces pointed their spears at him.

He pointed his spear at his opponent, his hair standing on end in fury, and roared like a beast, saying:

"The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable!"

"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

With two guns pointed at each other, the two generals reined in their horses and slowly retreated.

The gun tip radiated a murderous aura, causing the temperature to plummet.

Both armies retreated in an orderly manner, widening the distance between them.

The two generals were unwilling to admit defeat to each other.

Wang Ben, we must attack the imperial city today.

Bai Qi, today we will surely stop their attack on the city.

If you can't persuade the other party, then you have to prove your worth with your subordinates.

"kill!"

"kill!"

Both armies rallied their generals and charged into battle.

"Boom, boom..."

The sky and earth changed color, and mountains and rivers shifted.

This battle was so fierce that the earth shook and the sky collapsed.

"A rain of divine spears and arrows!"

Bai Qi became enraged and his ferocity flared up.

The Xuan Tie Divine Spear soared into the sky.

With a single thrust, the gun transformed into a myriad of spears.

Ten thousand spears, like a rain of arrows, shot towards the army behind Wang Ben.

"Puff puff……"

Each shot pierced a soldier's chest before exploding.

Ten thousand soldiers died, their bodies and souls perished.

The spilled blood flowed into rivers, running down the mountain valleys.

Wang Ben was furious and swept his spear across the ground.

A hundred-foot-long arc of spear light suddenly slashed towards the enemy camp.

The farther the spear's edge travels, the greater its killing range.

brush--

With a single shot, thousands of soldiers were cut in half at the waist.

The gushing hot blood flowed into the river of blood and flowed away with the current.

"Stubborn!"

Bai Qi and Wang Ben cursed at the same time.

The fact that they had fought amongst themselves and suffered so many casualties deeply saddened the two men.

The two launched a series of frantic attacks.

The outcome was uncertain for the time being, so they had to stop.

After all, both sides were under the command of Emperor Ying.

Losing troops and generals for the sake of momentary pride is truly a losing proposition.

After a bloody battle, the two generals developed a mutual respect and admiration for each other.

"Wang Ben, I urge you one last time not to attack the Great Qian Imperial City without authorization!"

Bai Qi offered his final words of advice.

Wang Ben, on the contrary, invited the other party, saying:

"General Bai, why don't we join forces to break through the imperial city?"

"The greatest credit for defeating the eighteenth army."

Bai Qi shook his head and led his army away in silence.

He could tell that Wang Ben had been blinded by the desire for personal glory and revenge for his father.

When greed blinds one's judgment, even a hundred oxen cannot pull them back.

Wang Ben reorganized his army and continued his advance.

Only a river of blood remained, meandering into the distance.

……

Daqian Imperial City.

The Wei family's iron army exited through the north gate and sped away.

Wei Qing and the Sixth Prince went out of the city to quell the rebellion of the Wuji Sword Sect in the north of the city.

Huo Jiafei's army marched out of the east gate and headed towards Hanhe Flying Eagle Fortress.

Flying Eagle Fortress surrendered to Emperor Ying and began recruiting soldiers for the rebel army.

Huo Wubing joined forces with the Second Prince to launch an expedition to annihilate them.

These two places are only a hundred miles or so from the imperial city.

Moreover, since the commander-in-chief's cultivation level is not high, it is a good opportunity for the two generals and the two princes to gain combat experience.

Rebellions broke out everywhere, posing a crisis to the imperial court.

For military generals, however, this is a great opportunity to hone their skills.

……

In the study of the imperial palace.

The Empress pushed aside the bookshelf, revealing the secret passage behind it.

He waved behind him and walked down the steps.

Zhou Yi stepped forward and followed closely behind.

As you walk down the path, you'll encounter countless traps and obstacles.

The Martial Emperor explained in detail how to open and close the mechanism.

As the successor of the Great Qian Dynasty, these are things he should master.

……

feet.

The white light, as bright as the blazing sun, was so dazzling that it was hard to open one's eyes.

This is the dragon vein that nourishes the world.

It is almost identical to the dragon veins beneath Blackwood Cliff and the Abyss of the Underworld.

However, it's easier to control the entire dragon vein here.

Therefore, it is also more vulnerable to attack, making it the weakest point in the dragon vein's defenses.

The saying about the "seven inches" of a dragon vein originates from this.

Previously, the Mahayana sect and Empress Yugou had been making quite a fuss.

The Empress Wu spent almost every day in her study, worried that the "seven-inch spot" of the dragon vein would be attacked.

Within the dragon vein, one can receive the thoughts of the deceased.

Zhou Yi was already fully aware of this matter.

He wanted to figure out why this was the case.

"Why would there be the thoughts of our ancestors within the dragon vein?" he asked again.

Previously, he was not the crown prince.

There were some secrets that only the monarch could know, which Empress Wu could not tell the truth about.

however.

To his disappointment, the Empress Wu shook her head helplessly.

"This... Your Majesty truly does not know."

"What benefits does an emperor receive after death?" Zhou Yi asked again.

Empress Wu once admitted that there would be some benefits after the emperor's death.

Zhou Yi had his doubts.

The ability to find the thoughts of one's parents within the dragon vein may be related to his past role as the Crown Prince regent.

Empress Wu's face showed embarrassment.

He was unable to answer either of Zhou Yi's questions.

Think about it, and he reveals the only piece of information he knows:

"Our Zhou emperors have passed down the story that after an emperor dies, he will receive extraordinary benefits."

"What exactly it is, we can only know after we die."

"..." Zhou Yi was speechless.

If you don't know something while you're alive, you naturally can't tell your successor.

After death, even if one knows the benefits, one cannot tell the living.

after all.

This world has not yet undergone reincarnation.

There weren't even any ghosts.

Even if I wanted to send a message in a dream, I couldn't.

What are the benefits of being an emperor?

Unable to get an answer immediately, Zhou Yi remained troubled.

He asked instead:

"Heavenly listen, Meng Po, do you know?"
