The Black Lotus Reborn: The Entire Sect Kneels and Begs for My Forgiveness
Chapter 423 Sub-God-Level Spiritual Treasure
Upon seeing the Third Prince killed on the spot, the Holy Dynasty army instantly fell into chaos with no leader.
The soldiers looked at each other, a tense atmosphere permeating the battlefield.
Just then, the crown prince walked steadily to the front of the army.
He stood tall and straight, cleared his throat, and said loudly,
"On behalf of the Holy Dynasty, I hereby declare that this pointless war is hereby ended."
From this day forward, the Wansheng Dynasty and the Tianlong Dynasty form an alliance, sharing resources and never invading each other!
The voice was firm and powerful, echoing like a resounding bell across the empty battlefield, each word clearly reaching the ears of every soldier.
On the Holy Dynasty's side, the soldiers were initially stunned upon hearing the news, seemingly still reeling from the sudden declaration of a ceasefire.
But soon, the deputy general began to take action, putting away his weapons, reorganizing the troops, and the army began to withdraw in an orderly manner.
It wasn't until the Third Prince was killed, General Liang fled in disarray, and the Crown Prince announced a truce with the Tianlong Dynasty and formed a permanent alliance that the Tianlong Dynasty belatedly realized what was happening.
At this moment, Emperor Tianlong looked at the two people gradually approaching from afar. When he saw Ye Yunong and the Crown Prince walking together, he was still somewhat dazed.
His gaze lingered on the Crown Prince, his brows furrowed slightly, his mind racing with thoughts, unable to immediately grasp the true nature of their relationship.
The Heavenly Dragon Emperor couldn't help but recall the man his daughter had brought back before; the concern and love in his eyes were clearly visible when he was with his daughter.
No matter how you look at it, that person is a better match for his daughter.
Thinking of this, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor's gaze toward the Crown Prince held a hint of displeasure.
After all, he still remembered clearly what the Holy Dynasty had done to the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty and his daughter. Those past conflicts were like a thorn stuck in his heart, difficult to remove easily.
Unexpectedly, after the Crown Prince approached the Heavenly Dragon Emperor, he bowed slightly and respectfully greeted him, his posture humble and sincere, and said,
"Grandmaster, please accept my bow."
"Master?"
The Heavenly Dragon Emperor's face was full of bewilderment, his eyes wide open as he looked back and forth between the Crown Prince and Ye Yunong with a puzzled expression.
His mind went completely blank for a moment, and he couldn't understand where this sudden address came from.
Seeing this, Ye Yunong's lips curled up slightly, a hint of a smile in her eyes, and she quickly explained from the side,
“Father, you don’t need to be surprised.”
He is my eldest disciple, someone I just took on during this trip.
"what?
"The Crown Prince of the Holy Dynasty is actually your eldest disciple?" Emperor Tianlong almost jumped up in shock, his expression a mix of astonishment and disbelief.
He never imagined that someone would casually attend a concubine selection ceremony and actually choose the crown prince as their apprentice.
This sounds even more outrageous than a fairy tale.
Just as the Heavenly Dragon Emperor was still reeling from the shock, Sect Master Liu, along with Bai Zhi, Xia Xuanji, and others, quickly approached.
Bai Zhi and Xia Xuanji's eyes lit up the moment they saw Ye Yunong, their faces beaming with uncontainable joy.
"Dense clouds!"
Bai Zhi shouted excitedly, took a few steps forward, and grabbed Ye Yunong's hand, as if afraid that she would disappear in the next second.
Xia Xuanji was so excited that her face turned bright red, and she pulled Ye Yunong aside to ask her all sorts of questions.
"Yun Nong, where have you been all this time? Tell me quickly, I've been so worried about you."
The two chattered on and on, as if they had a thousand words to say.
After chatting warmly for a while, Ye Yunong remembered that the Crown Prince was still standing beside her, so she smiled and introduced him to everyone.
"Come, let me introduce you. This is my eldest disciple, the Crown Prince of the Holy Dynasty."
Although the Crown Prince was completely baffled as to what kind of sect the Biluo Sect was, seeing his master introduce it so solemnly, he obediently stood aside and addressed each of them according to seniority: Grandmaster, Uncle-Master, and Senior Uncle.
After the Heavenly Dragon Emperor led his army away in a grand retreat, the battlefield gradually returned to calm, with only a faint smell of blood still lingering in the air.
Ye Yunong paced slowly near the Third Prince's remains, her sharp eyes searching for a blank jade pendant. She gently bent down and picked it up.
A flicker of surprise crossed her eyes, and she murmured to herself.
"This is the Crimson Water Jade Token, a sub-divine spiritual treasure."
Before her rebirth, Ye Yunong had spent many years wandering in the cultivation world and had met several junior brothers at the Earth Immortal level. Based on her past experience, she recognized this precious spiritual treasure at a glance.
Although the rampaging serpent has been successfully eliminated, the jade pendant left on the battlefield has an unexpected and wonderful use.
This jade pendant has a warm and smooth texture and a cool touch. It looks ordinary, but it actually contains a wealth of secrets.
It is not afraid of water or fire, and can remain unharmed no matter how harsh the environment it is in.
Even more amazingly, it possesses a special ability to contain all kinds of monsters and even divine beasts.
Once they are taken inside, these creatures will lie dormant quietly, as if sealed in a separate little world.
Ye Yunong is now accompanied by a phoenix, which radiates a five-colored light and has an awe-inspiring and majestic aura, attracting everyone's attention wherever it goes.
In many situations, such an overly conspicuous presence can actually cause a lot of inconvenience.
For example, when carrying out covert missions or venturing into dangerous areas, the appearance of a phoenix might expose their whereabouts and cause unnecessary trouble.
However, if the phoenix is placed inside this jade pendant, all problems will be solved.
When the phoenix's assistance is needed, it can be summoned with a mere thought.
When not in use, it can rest peacefully in the jade pendant, making it convenient and practical.
"Master, do you recognize the things belonging to my Holy Ancestor?"
The Crown Prince followed closely behind Ye Yunong. When he saw her pick up the jade pendant and explain its origin, he couldn't help but curiously step forward and take a look at the jade pendant.
He asked with a respectful expression, his eyes filled with admiration for his master's profound knowledge.
"Was it this Holy Ancestor who personally appointed me to go to the Holy Dynasty?"
Ye Yunong gently shook her head, her thoughts drifting back to the past. Before her rebirth, she had not yet ascended to immortality and did not know any powerful beings at the Earth Immortal level, so naturally she had no recollection of this Holy Ancestor.
"This is him, but I don't know much about this matter."
The crown prince looked sincere and spoke honestly.
"In the Holy Dynasty, only His Majesty can communicate with the Holy Ancestor."
He lowered his head, a hint of helplessness in his expression. Although he was the crown prince, he was not favored and had never even seen the Holy Ancestor, let alone exchanged greetings with him.
In the vast imperial court, this feeling of being marginalized often made him feel lonely.
When this was mentioned, he was reminded of the Hundred Dynasties War.
“Master, now that the matter of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty has come to an end, I really want to return to the Holy Capital.”
The crown prince looked somewhat worried.
Although he had been dissatisfied with his father’s actions over the years, blood was thicker than water, and his father was the one who gave him life. Moreover, his mother was in the capital, and her whereabouts were uncertain.
In stark contrast to the Third Prince's blindly optimistic attitude, the Crown Prince, with his keen intuition, sensed that this Hundred Dynasties War was quite unusual.
He knew that the capital's defenses might not be able to withstand this fierce offensive, and given that the Crown Princess had died at his hands, he felt that this great battle might be inextricably linked to this incident.
He was extremely anxious and wanted to get back to the capital as soon as possible.
Are you worried about your mother?
Ye Yunong raised an eyebrow slightly, silently calculating the time in her mind, guessing that the Crimson Flame Emperor himself should have already arrived in the Holy Capital.
"Master, have you already heard about the Hundred Dynasties War?"
As expected, nothing can be hidden from you.
The crown prince looked surprised, but soon, as if he suddenly remembered something, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Ye Yunong with a searching gaze.
Are you trying to ask me if this great battle has anything to do with me?
Ye Yunong seemed to see through his thoughts and spoke calmly.
"I don't need to hide it from you, it was I who ordered Baichao to attack the Holy Capital."
If you want to blame me, you can simply disown me as your master.
Her tone was calm and composed. In her view, her decisions were all based on her assessment of the situation and were without any errors.
However, this young man in front of him was, after all, his disciple in name only. Although they had not spent much time together and had not yet established a deep master-disciple relationship, the title of master and disciple still existed.
"Master, it really is you..."
The prince scratched his head, a simple-minded look on his face, "How could your disciple dare to blame you?"
After all, this whole affair is partly due to our Holy Dynasty's excessive greed.
He sighed softly, his eyes filled with helplessness. "I just want to rescue my mother and my father. He has given me life and raised me, and I can't abandon him."
His eyes were filled with determination.
"This kid is really true to himself. I asked him to poison his own army before, and he actually did it to protect the Tianlong Dynasty. It seems that he is truly sincere to me as his master."
Ye Yunong was somewhat surprised to hear this.
Recalling the matter of Master Qinglian, she had long since become indifferent to the so-called master-disciple relationship.
But the Crown Prince of the Holy Dynasty before her made her see him in a different light. He was loyal and righteous, qualities that were especially precious in this chaotic world.
"Very well, I'll go with you to the Holy Dynasty."
After a moment's thought, Ye Yunong had already made up her mind.
"After all, I still have a score to settle with that Crimson Flame Emperor."
A cold glint flashed in her eyes. This matter concerning the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty had come to a temporary end, but the Holy Dynasty's treacherous intentions remained, and it was still a major hidden danger for the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty.
And the Holy Ancestor, who is far away in another realm, is like a sword hanging over one's head, a tremendous threat.
She knew that only by eliminating future troubles could she truly bring peace to the Tianlong Dynasty.
When the Emperor and Empress of Tianlong learned that Ye Yunong had only recently returned to the Tianlong Dynasty and was about to leave again in a hurry, and that her destination was the Holy Capital, a place with a complex and dangerous situation, the Emperor and Empress of Tianlong were filled with worry.
Especially the Heavenly Dragon Queen, her eyes were full of reluctance. She held her daughter's hand tightly, refusing to let go, as if afraid that if she let go, her daughter would disappear.
"Why are you leaving again after just getting back?"
I have so much more to say to you.
The Heavenly Dragon Queen's voice was choked with emotion as she gazed at Ye Yunong, her eyes filled with longing.
These days, her daughter's fate is unknown, and her heart is constantly in turmoil. She finally looked forward to her daughter's return, but before she could even have a proper conversation, they had to part again.
"Mother, I will not feel at ease until the matter in the capital is resolved."
Don't worry, I'll come back to see you as soon as I've taken care of everything."
Ye Yunong gently comforted her, her eyes filled with determination. She patted her mother's hand lightly, trying to convey a sense of reassurance.
Just as Ye Yunong was saying goodbye to the Heavenly Dragon Emperor and Empress, Bai Zhi and Xia Xuanji arrived in a hurry with a group of people.
They weren't there to say goodbye; they were determined to follow Ye Yunong to the Holy Capital.
"Last time you went to the Holy City alone, you didn't even tell us."
This time, we absolutely cannot let you risk your life alone again.
Xia Xuanji stood with her hands on her hips, her face showing a hint of anger, but her words were full of concern for Ye Yunong.
Last time, Ye Yunong went to the capital alone and experienced many dangers. After learning about it, they were filled with lingering fear and were determined not to let her go into danger alone again this time.
Bai Zhi then said with a smile.
"The Biluo Sect has already established itself here, and it's time for me, the sect's senior sister, to go out and gain some experience."
I feel that following you will definitely bring all sorts of unexpected adventures, which is much better than staying in the sect all day long.
Her eyes sparkled with excitement, filled with anticipation for the unknown journey that was about to begin.
"Boss Liu, don't forget me and the brothers of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect."
We're going to find the boss together.
Long Jia arrived in a flurry of activity, leading a group of demons from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. He shouted loudly.
On their quest to find their leader, they can only rely on the female leader, and naturally, they will not be absent from this trip to the Holy Capital.
Looking at the people who were so determined to follow her, Ye Yunong felt both moved and helpless, and in the end, she could only accept their companionship.
Before setting off, the Crown Prince stood on the high command platform and solemnly gave orders to the entire army.
He then explained the whole story to his lieutenants in detail.
His words were earnest, stating that the Holy Capital was facing an unprecedented crisis, and at this critical juncture, the Holy Dynasty and the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty had temporarily set aside their differences and reached a reconciliation.
"The capital is now in imminent danger. We cannot stand idly by if the city falls.
The crown prince's voice was firm and powerful, resounding throughout the entire hall.
"Princess Tianlong is a woman of great virtue and righteousness. She does not hold grudges and will lead a portion of the Tianlong Dynasty's brave soldiers to reinforce the Holy Capital and fight against foreign enemies together!"
His words inspired every soldier, and they all raised their arms and shouted. In an instant, the army's morale soared, and everyone was ready to march to the capital.
At this moment, in the direction of the Holy Capital, the Crimson Flame Emperor, wearing a crimson dragon-patterned cloak, stood majestically at the front of the formation.
His vast army, with its banners fluttering and armor gleaming, has now reached the gates of the capital.
The towering walls of the holy city appeared isolated and helpless, surrounded by the armies of a hundred dynasties.
On the city wall, the Holy Dynasty's garrison looked arrogant and showed no fear of the large army of the Hundred Dynasties.
