"What should we do then?"
Princess Linglong frowned, her expression also turning solemn. Her father, the Emperor, was dead, and she had to lead everyone back to the White Dragon Dynasty.
Otherwise, she would be letting down her father's trust and unable to face anyone.
"I, Chen Banxian, have traversed the Spirit Realm for so many years and have never encountered such a divine artifact!"
Chen Banxian laughed heartily. His figure soared into the sky, and at his call, the Shen Huang Ding rumbled continuously.
This sound spread throughout the Nine Heavens Dynasty, and other regions could also perceive it.
The Old Ancestor of Nine Heavens was impacted by the sound, constantly retreating, with blood trickling from his lips.
He could never have imagined that Chen Banxian, with the aid of the Divine Dragon Cauldron, could possess such divine power.
Even with the reinforcement of national destiny, the Old Ancestor of Nine Heavens was no match and was in utter disarray.
Seeing this, Emperor Jiutian's heart was filled with dread. He never expected that even the Old Ancestor would perish.
"Old Ancestor!"
Grand Tutor Wen and others cried out in despair. If the Old Ancestor of Nine Heavens was defeated, no one else could possibly resist them, and the Nine Heavens Dynasty would inevitably change hands.
"Hmph, the Nine Heavens Dynasty's destiny is exhausted!"
Chen Banxian snorted coldly, his words laced with ice. The Nine Heavens Dynasty's power was now broken and would cease to exist.
"It is truly heaven's will to destroy my Nine Heavens!"
The Old Ancestor shouted with despair. He could not fathom how things had come to this.
Chen Banxian struck again without hesitation. In the blink of an eye, a simple and ancient aura emanated from the Shen Huang Ding. The Old Ancestor attempted to dodge, but it was too late.
Boom...
A colossal sound echoed. The Old Ancestor's body was violently flung backward, blood overflowing from his lips. Finally, he breathed his last and vanished into the heavens and earth.
"Old Ancestor!"
Everyone present cried out in despair. The demise of the Old Ancestor of Nine Heavens was the final verdict for the Nine Heavens Dynasty.
"The Old Ancestor of Nine Heavens has fallen! Where are the generals of the White Dragon Dynasty!"
Princess Linglong's voice rang out, filled with killing intent.
"Slay all the rebels of the Nine Heavens and seize the Nine Heavens regime!"
"We obey your command!"
The numerous generals of the White Dragon Dynasty leaped forward, ready to face death. With the Old Ancestor of Nine Heavens gone, this was their best opportunity.
Seeing the generals of the White Dragon Dynasty fighting valiantly, Princess Linglong felt a surge of satisfaction. She then approached Lu Fan, "Imperial Son-in-law, are you alright?"
"Don't worry, I won't die!"
Lu Fan smiled, "The fall of the Old Ancestor of Nine Heavens is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"I know. Don't worry, we will seize the Nine Heavens regime this time!"
Princess Linglong nodded, her eyes filled with coldness. With things having reached this point, she certainly would show no mercy.
In a flash, the entire Imperial City of the Nine Heavens was captured, with only a small number of people still putting up a desperate resistance.
Meanwhile, Chen Banxian approached Liu Qianjiao, "Xiao Jiao, I'm relieved you're alright. I thought you were truly in trouble!"
"Did you come for me?"
Liu Qianjiao glanced at him, "I find that hard to believe!"
"Heaven and earth bear witness, if I weren't here for Xiao Jiao, then may Chen Banxian be struck by lightning and perish!"
Chen Banxian swore, his words completely unreserved.
"Enough. I believe you!"
Liu Qianjiao quickly covered Chen Banxian's mouth, "Don't make such a poisonous oath again in the future!"
"Don't worry, since you say so, I will never make such an oath again!" Chen Banxian nodded, "Now that the Nine Heavens Dynasty's destiny is exhausted, our sects should not get involved!"
Liu Qianjiao nodded slightly and then, with the experts of Shenxian Valley, departed in haste.
At the same time, the elders of the Divine Dragon Hall arrived, "We pay our respects to the Hall Master!"
"I have already said, I do not wish to be any Hall Master!"
Chen Banxian said with a wry smile, looking towards Lu Fan, "I think this young man is excellent, and he also controls the Divine Dragon Token. You should honor him as the Hall Master!"
"This..."
The Grand Elder's expression changed. He never expected Chen Banxian to be so direct, without any hesitation.
Seeing the elders of the Divine Dragon Hall standing there in a daze, Chen Banxian said no more. He turned and left with Liu Qianjiao, completely unconcerned about the day's events.
"Grand Elder, what should we do?"
An elder spoke, his gaze turning towards Lu Fan, "I think Mr. Lu is young and will surely become a powerful figure in the future. If he were to become the Master of the Divine Dragon Hall, it might not be a bad thing!" Su Dan Novel Network
The other elders of the Divine Dragon Hall nodded in unison, recognizing Lu Fan.
After these events, they had gained considerable recognition for Lu Fan's abilities, otherwise, he would not have earned everyone's approval.
"Since it is the Hall Master's wish, then we shall honor him as our master!"
The Grand Elder nodded, his expression becoming serious.
At the same time, Lu Fan and Linglong had arrived at the Imperial Palace of the Nine Heavens. Inside the palace, Grand Tutor Wen and others were still resisting desperately, but it was futile.
"Give up! You have already lost!"
Linglong spoke, her aura carrying immense power. At this point, the Nine Heavens Dynasty could never return to its past.
"Even Emperor Jiutian has fled. Your futile resistance is meaningless!"
Lu Fan stated directly, "Grand Tutor Wen's loyalty to the Nine Heavens is truly touching. If you surrender, the White Dragon Dynasty will not harm your life!"
"Ridiculous! As the Grand Tutor of the Nine Heavens Dynasty, how could I possibly submit to you!"
Grand Tutor Wen sneered, "Even if I fall today, it is my destined fate!"
"Even if you wish to fight to the death, shouldn't you consider those behind you?"
Lu Fan said with a slight smile, "They have families numbering in the tens of thousands. Do you want them to be buried with you?"
Grand Tutor Wen paused and looked towards the generals of the Nine Heavens Dynasty. Their faces were haggard, and some were even on the verge of death, appearing quite desolate.
"Yes! The Nine Heavens Dynasty is already destroyed. How can I have the face to let them die with me!"
Grand Tutor Wen smiled, his eyes filled with sorrow.
"Grand Tutor Wen, as you can see, Emperor Jiutian is not worthy of your devotion!"
Princess Linglong stated directly, "As the ruler of a dynasty, to flee alone is utterly disgraceful. If it were my father, he would never do such a thing!"
"You are right. If it were Emperor Long, he would never cling to life in such a cowardly manner!"
Grand Tutor Wen nodded, "But as the Grand Tutor of the Dynasty, how can I live ignobly!"
As his words fell, a powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted from Grand Tutor Wen's palm as he struck at his own celestial gate.
With a deafening roar, Grand Tutor Wen's body was violently thrown backward, and he instantly perished.
"Grand Tutor!"
The people of the Nine Heavens Dynasty were filled with helplessness. Now, even their last pillar of support had fallen.
"To the subjects of the Nine Heavens Dynasty, as long as you cease your resistance, the White Dragon Dynasty will not pursue!"
Princess Linglong proclaimed, "You all have families, and I'm sure you do not wish to die in the Imperial City. Emperor Jiutian fled alone, so you do not need to be loyal to him!"
