With a single decisive arrow, Yan Liqiang killed the Ghost King and eliminated this fellow who assisted Zhou in committing evil. Without any further delay, he put away his bow and flew straight towards Yuezhou City.
Although Yan Liqiang had not been away from Yuezhou City for long, this time was enough for the 10,000 soldiers and cavalry he summoned to kill all the Qianye Guards.
The streets of Yuezhou City were littered with the corpses of Qianye Wei, and ownerless war horses were running around in the streets. The two camps of Qianye Wei, one in the city and the other outside the city, were in ruins, with not a single living person to be seen.
In this sudden turmoil, the people in Yuezhou City basically did not suffer any losses. As soon as the turmoil in the palace broke out, Qianye Guards were mobilized with murderous intent, and the people who were originally wearing new clothes and kneeling at their doorsteps waiting to welcome the new emperor to the throne were all frightened and hid back in their homes, closed the doors tightly, and then carefully watched the movements outside through the windows and cracks in the doors.
Slogans and shouts of “Let’s honor the Saint together and kill the evil demon together…” came from the palace, and then echoed in the city.
Amidst the shouting and chaos, the first things that appeared before the eyes of the people in the city were the murderous troops of the Chiba Guards from inside and outside the city. The Chiba Guards in the city rushed towards the palace, while the Chiba Guards outside the city rushed towards the city.
But not long after, a louder rumbling sound came from the palace. From the direction of the palace, it was as if a million troops were galloping on horseback. The whole Yuezhou City was shaking. Then, the people in Yuezhou City were stunned to see countless bronze soldiers and iron horses rushing out of the palace and trampling Qianye Guards into a pulp.
The iron torrent that rushed out of the palace rushed through the streets, and then all the Chiba Guards turned into bloody garbage on the streets and were washed away.
The Dragon King, the Sword King, Hua Ruxue, and the White Lotus followers who had revolted, together with Cui Lichen and his men, had completely taken control of the imperial palace and the city's center during this period of time. Those in the White Lotus who were loyal to the Shadow Demon had been purged.
Yan Liqiang returned to the palace. The 10,000 soldiers who had completed their mission were arranged in a square formation in the square of the palace. They were motionless and silent, but the evil spirit on their bodies was like a magic needle that stabilized the hearts and chaos of the people in Yuezhou City. Around the square, countless eyes of awe fell on these soldiers and horses.
In that freezing cold wind, these bronze soldiers and iron horses represent not only invincible military force, but also the supreme destiny.
Yan Liqiang flashed and landed on the square of the imperial palace. Cui Lichen, Dragon King and others immediately surrounded him.
"How is it?" Although Cui Lichen almost knew the result when he saw Yan Liqiang coming back, he still couldn't help but ask. Perhaps, some things will only make people feel at ease when they are finally said by Yan Liqiang.
Similarly, this issue is also of concern to Dragon King and others.
"I have killed him!" Yan Liqiang said calmly.
Cui Lichen let out a long breath, "From the imperial court to the White Lotus Sect, that evil demon brought chaos to the world, transformed into countless forms, and finally died..."
"The greatest disaster has finally been eliminated..." The Dragon King seemed to have let go of a huge stone in his heart, and a look of relief appeared on his face.
"Well, on the way back, I met the Ghost King and killed him. Now, there should be no one in the White Lotus Sect who can threaten you. Are you prepared for the situation in Yuezhou?"
The Dragon King nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Our troops will arrive at Yuezhou City tonight. The situation in Yuezhou and the southeast will be settled soon!"
"That's good!" Yan Liqiang said, and waved his hand. A colorful light suddenly appeared on the square of the palace. After the light, the square of 10,000 bronze soldiers and iron horses standing solemnly on the square disappeared in an instant under the eyes of everyone. There was a burst of exclamations from the surroundings, "Then this place is handed over to you..." After speaking, Yan Liqiang looked at Cui Lichen, "Elder Cui, Yuezhou City is related to the situation of the world right now. I'm afraid you have to stay here for a while. I feel at ease with you here!"
Cui Lichen nodded.
Yan Liqiang walked up to Hua Ruxue and gently squeezed her hand, "Take care of yourself these days..."
Hua Ruxue hummed softly.
After taking one last look at the palace, Yan Liqiang stopped talking. His whole body instantly soared into the sky. The Fiery Golden Eagle let out a long cry in the air, and flew down from the clouds like a gust of wind. It caught Yan Liqiang steadily and let Yan Liqiang sit on its back. Then it flapped its wings, and with a long cry that resounded throughout Yuezhou City, it flew towards the north like a ray of golden light in an instant, and disappeared from everyone's sight in a moment.
In the square of the imperial palace, everyone looked up to the north, and only when the figure of the Fiery-Eyed Golden Eagle completely disappeared did they retract their gazes.
"Dragon King, where is Your Highness going?" The Sword King standing aside asked curiously.
The Dragon King smiled gently and looked at the pigeons and falcons flying in the sky of Yuezhou City. "The Nine Dragon Seal appeared in Yuezhou City today. The news of suppressing the White Lotus Sect's internal strife will probably spread throughout the world in a few days. Your Highness went to the north to solve the biggest external threat to the Han Empire before this news spreads throughout the world. Once this external threat is solved, the Han Empire can truly be at peace and the people will be at peace..."
"The Dragon King is talking about... the Shaman people?"
"Now the Shaman people are taking advantage of the civil strife in our Han Empire and have gathered several barbarian tribes in the north. They are coming with full force and attacking us with evil intentions. They want to destroy our country. I heard that outside Tianan Pass in the northeast, there are Shaman barracks stretching for hundreds of miles. The Fengyun Army and the Long family are under unprecedented pressure. At this time, if Your Highness does not destroy those Shaman armies, do you want to keep them for the New Year?" The Dragon King had a smile on his face.
The Sword King understood all of a sudden, "Your Highness is afraid that the Shaman people will be scared away when they hear the news of the Nine Dragon Seal coming out. It will be difficult to get them to gather such a large army in the future!"
"exactly!"
…
The wind from the sky was cold, but when it blew onto Yan Liqiang, it was separated by a layer of true energy outside Yan Liqiang's body and became a gentle breeze.
After advancing to the realm of Martial King, Yan Liqiang was able to control his weight. When he reached the realm of Martial Emperor, he could even make himself as light as a feather. The Fiery-Eyed Golden Eagle carried the light Yan Liqiang on its back with great ease. It flew towards the north in the clouds at lightning speed. Its speed was much faster than that of a carrier pigeon or a falcon...
