“A joke?” The Crown Princess said, shaking her head and raising her sharp brows. “You guys aren’t even funny.”
As she spoke, the golden sword Qi had torn Xiao Shen apart into many layers. This Great Dao Realm expert was not even able to hang on for a breath’s time, and a large part of him had already vaporized.
However, before his death, a hint of acceptance flashed on Xiao Shen’s face. He looked at the Crown Princess’ face, sighed, and said, “It’s better to die in your hands than in Fang Xuan’s.”
“Hmph,” the Crown Princess let out a cold snort and vaporized Xiao Shen completely.
When Fang Yuan saw that her comrades were killed so easily in succession, there was only horror and fear left on her face.
Endless horror kept engulfing her inner heart, causing her body to be unable to budge at all.
Fang Yuan saw the gaze the Crown Princess cast in her direction and said anxiously, “I… I surrender… I surrender!”
“Surrender?” The Crown Princess’ gaze scanned Fang Yuan once through and appeared before her with a flash at the next moment. She put out a finger and lifted up Fang Yuan’s face by the chin slightly. Taking a careful look at her appearance, the Crown Princess said, “You do have some beauty.”
Fang Yuan kept on trembling nervously non-stop. Looking just like a small chicken that was bound by a huge python, she did not dare to move at all.
Hearing the Crown Princess’ words, she spoke with great difficulty, “I… I am Prince Ding’s daughter. I can get my father to lead the entire six regions in the south to submit to the imperial court.”
“Submit to the imperial court? Why submit to the imperial court?” The Crown Princess smiled, releasing an endlessly domineering air and charm. She caused even Fang Yuan, who was also a lady, to be slightly dazed.
The Crown Princess’ martial will spread out instantly. Simultaneously, it appeared with a flash at all corners of the Flying Immortal Mountain.
“There are some strong people here. I’ll be taking over this Three Mountains Four Peaks first then.”
…
Just as the Crown Princess single-handedly defeated the entire Three Mountains Four Peaks, Prince Ding’s manor was well-decorated and the people were intoxicated.
With the powers of Xiao Shen and the other five Great Dao Realm experts, Prince Ding had taken over six regions in Middle-earth. The army of several hundred thousand men under him had become the only force that could stand up against the imperial court in the world.
During this period of time, he had taken in countless civil officials and military generals who came to join him from other places, and his influence was surging rapidly.
However, Prince Ding was not qualified to become an Emperor and was jealous of people with talent. He liked to promote bootlickers, implement heavy taxes, forcibly enlist citizens into the military. Prince Ding had even sent his subordinates to seize beauties. This caused all six regions to be in pandemonium, and the citizens were filled with resentment and wrath. All ladies who were below 40 years of age all hid at home and did not dare to leave their homes.
Over the past few days, Prince Ding held a great banquet to treat his subjects in the Prince Manor everyday, indulging in endless feelings of elation.
“His Majesty is skilled in both literacy and martial arts, and he also possesses all the citizens’ support. It won’t be long before he unifies the world and saves it from danger. He is really comparable to the ancient Divine Emperor.”
“What gibberish. How can the ancient Divine Emperor’s achievements be a match for His Majesty’s? He calmed the world and eradicated rebels. Even the Demon Sect, which several generations of past Emperors over 300 years were helpless against, are also being repeatedly pushed back in defeat.”
“That’s right, that’s right. Young Fang Xuan has been bewitched by the Demon Sect’s demonic woman. If it wasn’t because His Majesty is so chivalrous and that he rose up, the entire world would live in agony under the Demon Sect. Such a great act of saving the people across the entire world, doing his best in this critical situation, dealing divine punishment to the treacherous rebels in every battle… It really can be said to be following heaven’s rule. This is an unprecedented act that no one can repeat.”
Prince Ding sat on the throne, that had just been custom made, with a beauty on each side. One ma.s.saged him while the other fed him wine and meat. As Prince Ding listened to the bootlicking from his subjects, he felt a fluttering sense of elation.
The previous Emperor had always been very wary against his three brothers in the south. Ever since Prince Ding came to the southern borders, not only did he not have any power or influence, but even the money awarded by the imperial court every year had always been embezzled as well.
None of the officials in the southern borders thought well of him. The only one who thought well of him was the Tiangang Realm expert, Nong Buyi.
As for Prince Ding himself, he was never a person who held himself in high regard.
Therefore, over the years he spent in the southern borders, he led an extremely aggrieved life. This continued until the previous Emperor pa.s.sed away and chaos broke through across the land. After that, he gradually gathered soldiers and took over a region under Nong Buyi’s support.
However, these achievements were soon annihilated by the imperial court’s army, and his subordinates kept on leaving him once again.
This continued until Xiao Shen and the others ama.s.sed the powers of six Great Dao Realm experts, allowing Prince Ding’s forces to break through the imperial court’s army with great ease and take over half the country. It was only then that Prince Ding managed to release the vengeance he felt in his heart.
When the banquet reached a peak, two beautiful figures stepped into the hall, entering the banquet.
The people who came were the Crown Princess and Fang Yuan.
Right now, the Crown Princess had changed into a set of long robes that were a mix of red and white in colors. She had also withdrawn her domineering air slightly, emitted a surprisingly alluring charm instead. The moment she appeared, she attracted the gazes of everyone present.
Fang Yuan followed behind her, seeming like a maid. There was no sign of her disposition as a Great Dao Realm expert, and she appeared like an ordinary person instead.
However, Prince Ding still knew his daughter well.
Although Prince Ding was surprised by the Crown Princess’ beauty, he still looked at Fang Yuan and said, “Yuan`er, what happened? Why have you suddenly come here? Is this beauty a senior from the Three Mountains Four Peaks?”
Fang Yuan’s countenance changed, and she glared harshly at Prince Ding, saying, “Father, this is the imperial court’s General Marie. This time around, she has specially come to take over the six regions in the south.”
Hearing that, the countenance of everyone present changed drastically. Prince Ding stood up abruptly and said in a rage, “B*stard! Do you know what you’re saying?”
A few other officials and generals also stood out and chided fiercely, “Traitor! Do you know who you’re talking to?”
“The imperial court’s Marie? Haha, the imperial court has been pushed back repeatedly, and now they’re sending a woman like you out to war?”
Although most of the generals and civil officials present were bootlickers, it was not as if there were no people with abilities or intelligence amongst them.
Some of them had already quietly backed off after seeing Fang Yuan and the Crown Princess, planning to sneak away.
After the Crown Princess and Fang Yuan descended, a large number of guards and experts rushed over very quickly. Amongst them, there was a large number of Disha Realm experts.
These Disha Realm experts had come to join Prince Ding after he gained influence. Right now, they were eager to achieve merit and were all filled with vigor to fight.
However, the Crown Princess had no plans on wasting time with them. She stomped her foot lightly, and a golden wave gushed out from under her feet. In the blink of an eye, they surged out in all directions, and wherever they pa.s.sed by, cultivators of all realms would be knocked unconscious.
In the blink of an eye, the golden tidal wave had encompa.s.sed the entire city, knocking out all the cultivators who were at the Xiantian Realm or higher.
Seeing that the people around him had all fallen, Prince Ding’s countenance turned extremely grim.
Fang Yuan immediately transmitted a message to her father, “Father, surrender quickly. She has already defeated Xiao Shen and the others and taken over the entire Three Mountains Four Peaks.”
Hearing that, Prince Ding’s legs turned limp, and he fell to the ground shouting, “Sur— Sur— I surrender!!!”
