Dominating Martial King

Chapter 2006: Chapter 653: Doubt (Part 3)

The events that occurred in the Outer Domain, the changes in the starry sky, for the moment, have not affected the citizens of the Dalv Dynasty, nor can they understand them.

Chu Xisheng’s eyes flashed with a strange light.

With the Dragon Energy’s blessings, his Ruyi Skill will also become stronger.

This means that his ability to change reality will be greatly enhanced.

Many things he couldn’t do before, he can now try to accomplish.

Chu Xisheng’s heart throbbed as he thought of Chu Yunyun.

So now, can he—

Chu Xisheng suppressed distracting thoughts: "Qianqian, after I left, did anything change in the country?"

As he asked, he was also adapting to the sudden increase in his Emperor’s Secret Technique’s strength.

The golden Dragon Energy transformed into twelve Yeen Dragons that began to circle and dance around him, displaying magnificent Divine Might.

Chu Xisheng discovered that he could now release the Twelve Dragon God Heavenly Guardian, controlling it from afar.

Much like when Emperor Jianyuan once used his Nine Dragon Divine Sky Guard to oversee You State,

"The politics in the country are stable, with no upheaval."

Ji Qianqian pondered briefly and understood what Chu Xisheng was asking: "It’s autumn harvest season, and supposedly this year, everywhere enjoys favorable weather, bringing a bountiful harvest to most of our nation’s lands. I congratulate Your Majesty!"

This abundant harvest stabilized the people of the Dalv Dynasty.

Chu Xisheng slightly nodded, having guessed as much beforehand.

The people of the Dalv Dynasty must feel a sense of achievement to feel this way.

To truly earn the people’s loyalty, speaking a thousand words means less than letting them obtain solid wealth and grain.

Chu Xisheng’s voice turned: "And what of the Empress? Where is she?"

With the enhancement of the Twelve Dragon God Heavenly Guardian, it now follows his commands even more seamlessly.

His mastery over the Dragon Energy was becoming more adept and stable.

"The Empress returned from the North three days ago."

Ji Qianqian paused briefly, then continued answering: "At that time, I noticed her injuries seemed severe, but her expression was relaxed, not like someone heavily injured.

After her return, she began cultivation in Kunning Palace, stating she would be in seclusion and not to be disturbed by the palace attendants. However, she previously instructed that if Your Majesty returned, you could see her directly."

"Is that so?"

Chu Xisheng secretly wondered, why still in seclusion?

And severe injuries? How severe?

With his own promotion to First Grade, shouldn’t Chu Yunyun’s poison curse be lifted?

In the Mortal World, who could severely wound her?

In that battle, although Chu Yunyun’s opponent was one of the Twelve Ancestor Gods, it shouldn’t have required direct confrontation and shouldn’t have been a major issue.

He suppressed his doubts: "Inform all nobles above Third Grade and the imperial eunuchs that I will soon hold a large-scale Blood Burning Ritual."

The ’Profane God Stele’ he brought back from No Heaven Black Prison ought to be put to use.

Chu Xisheng took a step, directly entering the city of Qinhuai County.

At this time, Jian Cangfeng and numerous ministers had also arrived at the gate of the Imperial Palace to greet him.

"No need for this, I dislike empty ceremonies."

Chu Xisheng directly sent out a Vigorous Force, helping Jian Cangfeng and others who were bowing in salutation stand up: "The Cabinet may first deliberate on the matter of the Northern expedition, how to prepare provisions and deploy the troops, all requires a plan. When I have the time, I will convene a court meeting to hear the details."

Upon hearing this, Jian Cangfeng and others raised their eyebrows and exchanged glances.

Months ago, the Dalv Dynasty and the Daning Dynasty had just agreed on a truce lasting eight months, and the time has not yet ended.

At that time, both parties made the agreement under the witness of the three War Gods, and this treaty must be honored.

However, the matter of the Northern expedition can indeed begin preparations.

At present, whether in terms of public sentiment, morale, national strength, or military force, the Dalv Dynasty’s growth has been significant, the nation’s power is stable, the time for the Northern expedition is ripe, so why leave the Daning Dynasty?

Now it seems right to sweep across the Divine Continent with the force of Taishan pressing down.

Chu Xisheng’s voice then reached their ears: "Exercise caution, though the Daning Dynasty’s power wanes, the gods still have potent Divine Power. Our opponent may be someone else."

Upon hearing this, Jian Cangfeng could not help but feel a stir in his heart.

He sensed that Chu Xisheng seemed to eagerly anticipate the arrival of the Celestial Star Gods to participate in this contest for imperial succession over the Divine Continent.

Chu Xisheng stepped into the Central Palace Main Hall.

To his surprise, Chu Yunyun was not here meditating or healing but was instead lying on the Dragon Couch.

Her eyes were tightly shut, caught in unconsciousness.

Chu Yunyun’s armor was also in a broken state.

This was originally a powerful magic artifact that Chu Xisheng had personally remodeled and enhanced for her using scales from the corpse of the Divine Rank Vengeance on Taiwei Mountain; now it is completely shattered, losing its spiritual effect.

Beneath the armor were dozens of deep wounds exposing bone, with flesh and blood dripping. There were even remnants of fire, burning the wounds.

This clearly showed the severity of her injuries, so severe that she didn’t have time to treat them, nor change her clothes or armor.

However, Chu Yunyun should still have consciousness, as there was a constant overflow of Heavenly Rules Power from within her,

—all being driven out by Chu Yunyun herself, the vast majority are Flame Sky Rules.

Chu Xisheng’s pupils slightly contracted.

He only slightly sensed the situation inside Chu Yunyun and his face turned ashen.

Chu Xisheng brushed aside the hair on Chu Yunyun’s forehead, looking at her pale little face, his heart aching like never before.

"Little Zhao!"

Bai Xiaozhao, perched atop his head, promptly used a magic artifact at hand to connect him with Lishan Old Mother millions of miles away.

Chu Xisheng restrained his shock and fury, speaking as calmly as possible: "Old Mother, what has happened to Yunyun? How did she end up so heavily injured?"

After that battle, he had been in contact with Chu Yunyun.

Back then, there was nothing abnormal about Chu Yunyun.

Chu Xisheng felt no shortage of grievances towards Lishan Old Mother, that Chu Yunyun was severely injured to this extent? Why didn’t she attempt to inform him?

Lishan Old Mother, hearing this, was also very surprised: "Yunyun heavily injured? I don’t know. What is her current condition now?"

After the Battle of Buzhou Mountain, she and Chu Yunyun had indeed retreated unscathed.

The Fire God ’Yanrong’, though enraged beyond measure, ultimately watched them leave.
