Chapter 972 The Darling of the Heavens Back Then

"Dong!"

"Dong!"

Emperor Yun Shi was in a difficult position. If they surrendered to Zhu Long, the Yun clan would survive, but his pride would be utterly shattered. If he didn't surrender, only the executioner's blade awaited them.

The beings of the Yun clan before him, having reached his current realm, were at their limit. It was incredibly difficult to step into the realm of Supreme Xuanzun.

"Any news from the sealed land?"

A moment later, Emperor Yun Shi did not answer the Prime Minister.

"Replying to the Immortal Emperor, of those who entered the sealed land, seven or eighty percent have perished!"

An official below said in a deep voice.

"Then surrender!"

"Write a letter, pledge allegiance to the Hong family's four clans, and convey the Yun clan's intentions to Lord Zhu!" Emperor Yun Shi stood up, scanned the great hall, and his killing intent surged. "If I find out that today's events are leaked, your entire clan will be annihilated!"

"We obey the Emperor's command!"

All the officials were terrified. Within the Yun Immortal Dynasty, the current Immortal Emperor remained an untouchable, supreme being.

"Boom!"

Just as Emperor Yun Shi was warning the officials, the imperial palace's city gate was shattered by a single punch. Even the Golden Dragon Formation that appeared did not have time to activate before it was torn apart by a spear light.

Smoke and dust churned at the palace gate. Countless sword lights were intercepted. A woman in plain clothes appeared, followed by two burly men and dozens of True God elites. Their terrifying divine power directly suppressed the Imperial Guards defending the palace, even cracking the foundation stones nourished by the national destiny.

"The Imperial Palace. I haven't entered it for a long time. This time, the feeling is far beyond anything before," Yun Shan said calmly, emerging from the dust and looking at the dense ranks of nearly ten thousand Imperial Guards ahead.

The commander of the Imperial Guards was stunned when he saw the woman emerge from the dust. Fear swept across his face, but he quickly calmed down, his expression filled with contempt.

"Yun Shan, you lowly creature! How dare a mere commoner like you set foot in the Imperial Palace? Trespassing, destroying the palace gate, and shattering the formation are three crimes punishable by death according to the Immortal Dynasty's laws!"

He thought a powerful enemy was attacking Yun Chi City, but it turned out to be the disgraced Princess Yun Shan, now a mere ant.

"The pride of heaven back then, wasn't it? Attack and capture this lowly creature!"

The ten thousand Imperial Guards behind him began to advance, their auras erupting and sweeping towards Yun Shan and her dozens of followers.

"You're seeking death."

The moment the vast might of the army descended, Zhang Hao, standing behind them, became furious. His aura as a Lesser Celestial Venerable surged forth.

Boom!

A wave of energy swept through the air, sending all ten thousand soldiers staggering back dozens of paces. Threads of spear intent flowed through the army, taking away a third of their lives. Su Dan Novel Network.

"Presumptuous!"

The commander of the Imperial Guards, seeing that things were not going well, made the first move, grasping a long saber covered in silver light.

"Kill!"

How could the commander of the Imperial Palace Guards be an ordinary person? He must be an elite among the Lesser Celestial Venerables of the Yun Immortal Dynasty to be entrusted with the heavy responsibility of guarding the Immortal Emperor.

"National Destiny Empowerment!"

As the commander brandished his saber, a golden waist token on his waist bore four characters: "As if I were personally present!"

This was a waist token personally bestowed by Emperor Yun Shi, which could mobilize a trace of the Yun Immortal Dynasty's national destiny. As he bore the heavy responsibility of guarding the Imperial Palace, he roared, and a dragon's roar seemed to echo in the void. Immediately, golden dragons swam, and the silver long saber now emitted a rich golden glow.

"Swish!"

He raised the saber with all his might. The golden saber light generated as the saber moved carried the afterimages of golden dragons. His terrifying strength was somewhat suppressed, and only the surrounding void shattered. After all, this was the Imperial Palace. If he were to truly unleash his power, the Imperial Palace might collapse.

"Take this punch!"

Zhang Hao grinned. He raised his fist, as hard as a boulder, and it descended like a hammer from the heavens. His fist intent was also suppressed considerably. Before arriving at Yun Chi City, Yun Shan had admonished Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao to merely suppress them, as she still intended to seize the position of Immortal Emperor, paving the way for the Great Han Divine Dynasty's development in the Northern Desolation. Besides, this was her former home. Even if the Immortal Emperor did not acknowledge her as his daughter, she still had brothers and sisters here. With a boom, Zhang Hao raised his fist, descending like a terrifying meteor from the sky.

"Bang!"

"Pfft!"

The next moment, the commander of the Imperial Guards, who had mobilized a trace of national destiny, spat out a mouthful of blood and was smashed directly into the ground.

The waist token shattered, and the long saber in his hand exploded. The commander of the Imperial Guards, lying in the deep pit, fainted. Zhang Hao grinned. If he fought with all his might, he could have killed him with a single punch.

"Bold brigands!"

Dozens of figures flew out from the deeper halls. More than half were in the Lesser Celestial Venerable realm, and six were in the Great Celestial Venerable realm. They stepped through the void, shielding the commander of the Imperial Guards behind them.

"Bold lunatic, do you know where this is? Trespassing into a forbidden area and severely injuring our Immortal Dynasty's commander, you deserve to die!"

Looking at the commander lying motionless in the deep pit, especially seeing the token on the commander's waist, the man's heart trembled violently. That was a token personally bestowed by the Immortal Emperor, capable of mobilizing a trace of the Immortal Dynasty's national destiny. Even that couldn't suppress this Great Han, and he was still severely injured and unconscious.

If this were to spread, the forces of the Three Thousand Dao Continents would look down on the Yun Immortal Dynasty, and the Immortal Emperor would lose all face.

"Villain, dare you reveal your name!"

"Zhang Hao!"

Facing the dozens of people, Zhang Hao clenched his fists, showing no fear. Deng Qiang walked forward step by step and said softly, "What do you say? Half each?"

"Hm?"

Zhang Hao turned his head and glanced at Deng Qiang, who was walking forward, somewhat annoyed. "Damn it, I'm enough on my own!"

"How can that be!"

"Within this Imperial Palace, I'm afraid there's only this much left. If you take it all, why am I here? Half each!" Deng Qiang's face was filled with anger.

"You!!!"

"Kill!"

Seeing that the two were so dismissive of him, their words completely disregarding the dozens of people behind him, the man made the first move. Six top-tier Lesser Celestial Venerables behind him charged towards Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao. Their terrifying divine power directly crushed the stones beneath their feet.

"Human race?"

At this moment, Emperor Yun Shi and the Prime Minister, who had emerged from the great hall, looked at Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao at the palace gate.

"Immortal Emperor, that is!!! That is the disgraced Princess Yun Shan!!"

The Prime Minister exclaimed, pointing at the woman behind Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao. His body trembled slightly. That was the pride of heaven of the Yun Immortal Dynasty back then, the most relied-upon junior of their Yun clan, Yun Shan, who was once considered the most likely to awaken the True Phoenix bloodline!

"Yun Shan!!~~"
