Chapter 260 Dragon Ascends the Royal City!
Watching the dragon's head look up to the sky, the air currents flowed back, scattering towards the soldiers and civilians of the entire city.
*Crack~*
The qi dynamic changed, and the celestial phenomena shifted dramatically.
Rolling dark clouds instantly obscured the seven red moons, and inky shadows covered the entire Fengdu City. Thunder rumbled in the undulating clouds, and the howling wind sounded like the wails of ghosts and gods.
Streaks of lightning piercing the sky snaked down like dragons, striking the city as they broke through the air.
Such a change in the heavens alarmed even those who could not perceive the changes in qi.
No one would mistake this for ordinary thunderclouds, because no thunderstorm could make people feel so heavy and oppressed, let alone make the world so dark that they couldn't see their own fingers.
On the towering walls of Da Feng, tens of thousands of soldiers swayed, feeling as if the dark clouds were right above their heads, within reach.
Many people felt numb all over, unsure whether it was due to the impact of lightning or the fear in their hearts.
Above the eaves of a restaurant, An Qisheng couldn't help but admire, yet he also understood the disaster in the original trajectory, deducing what would have happened.
Han Changgong's actions prevented the birth of any more latent dragons between heaven and earth, preserving the declining national fortune.
Luck seems illusory, but it is actually the convergence of the luck of humanity. National fortune is the fate and destiny of a country.
In other words, abundant luck gives birth to heroes, while declining luck gives birth to evildoers.
Han Changgong locked down the national fortune to prevent it from flowing out. Even if the world was turbulent, the court would still produce talented people. If luck was on their side, they could extend the national fortune of Da Feng by hundreds of years. At the very least, they could secede several states and become a small country.
However, he would never have dreamed that the Feng King would refine the Dragon King Armor at the cost of the city and the country's destruction.
It was a pity, a sigh, and also a tragedy.
And the Feng King may have achieved his wish, but he was ultimately killed by Huangfu, the Qintian Supervisor after Han Changgong, with the Celestial Observation Qi Technique before the people of the world.
Like teacher, like student.
"There are so many heroes in the world."
An Qisheng raised his head and drained his glass of wine.
Regardless of the standpoint, anyone who has their own pursuit and consistently carries it out is worthy of respect.
Pang Wanyang was like that, Han Changgong was like that, and so was the old eunuch who once asked him on the city wall if he had the guts.
Huangfu, who would later lay out a plan for decades with the Celestial Observation Qi Technique and finally kill the Warlord, was also like that.
The wine was finished.
An Qisheng's gaze fell on the location of the royal city again.
In his perception, a qi dynamic as vast as mountains and seas was about to erupt. That aura was ferocious and majestic, profound and tyrannical. Let alone him,
the experts throughout the city could all feel the emergence of that qi dynamic.
It was precisely the collision of this qi dynamic with the city's luck that triggered this terrifying celestial phenomenon that seemed to be about to destroy the world.
That should be the Dragon King Armor.
Unlike the Great Dragon Banner of the Vast Sea, which was still dormant, this celestial weapon was about to awaken.......
The Dragon King Armor was a rather special one among the eight great celestial weapons.
Not only because it was made from the scales, armor, bones, and blood of a different species of true dragon at the celestial level, but also because it was the only defensive weapon among the eight great celestial weapons.
A defensive weapon at the celestial level, it was conceivable that if one wore it, no one except celestials or other Warlords could break through the defense.
"Dragon King Armor......"
.......
"What exactly happened?"
Looking at the almost boiling Fengdu City, Huangfu's heart suddenly filled with unease, fear, and worry.
In the entire Fengdu City, his Qi Observation Technique could rank among the top three.
But at this moment, he couldn't see through what was happening at all, and why the national fortune was fluctuating.
"Teacher, Teacher he......."
Huangfu's heart was shaken, and he suddenly thought of Han Changgong.
He flipped over and went downstairs, ran a few steps, and rushed into the backyard:
"Is Teacher there? Something big has happened!"
Unexpectedly, he had just made a loud cry when he was stopped outside the door.
Taking a closer look, it was Gui Xiaoer.
"What are you doing stopping me?"
Huangfu pushed him away angrily, about to rush in.
"Teacher ordered that no one is allowed to disturb him, nor is anyone allowed to leave the Qintian Supervisor.......”
Gui Xiaoer grabbed Huangfu tightly and said sternly:
"Do you still want to disobey Teacher's orders!"
Huangfu's body shook, and two lines of tears flowed out:
"This disciple has been unworthy for half his life, and in the end, I cannot disobey you......"
Muttering to himself, Huangfu knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily:
"Teacher.......”
........
"Not good, not good.......how could this celestial phenomenon's qi dynamic be like this?"
"The source of this celestial phenomenon's qi dynamic seems to be the location of the royal city.......could it be that the King is involved?"
"No matter what happened, we must rush to the royal city now!"
In the Jinyiwei Commander's mansion, in the Six扇门 (Six Doors) yamen, in the Eastern and Western Factories, in the Kyoto garrison, among the court's offerings, and among the various civil and military ministers, anyone who felt the changes in this celestial phenomenon's qi dynamic couldn't help but pale.
Among them, there were many who were highly skilled in martial arts, and they were also involved in secrets, so their feelings were far deeper than others.
Immediately, no one dared to neglect it, and they all hurriedly left their residences and headed towards the royal city.
........
"Han Changgong!"
On the viewing platform, the Feng King's eyes were bloodshot, his chest heaving violently, and his killing intent pierced the sky, so that the long sky seemed to be burning with flames for a time.
How could he not know what Han Changgong was doing?
However, as the national fortune shifted, he had already felt the surging qi dynamic beneath the ground, like a volcano that had not erupted for thousands of years.
The Dragon King Armor could no longer be suppressed......
The plans of the Great Feng Dynasty for two hundred years, of the ancestors of the Taizu and Taizong dynasties, had actually failed in this way. Two hundred years of planning, all past ambitions, were about to fail completely.
Looking at Han Changgong, who was closing his eyes and waiting for death, his palm trembled a few times.
Suddenly, he exerted his strength and threw him off the viewing platform:
"Get out!!!
After today, all ties of loyalty between us are severed!!"
In the end,
he still couldn't do it.
*Bang!*
Under the hundred-zhang-high viewing platform, Han Changgong fell heavily to the ground, and the white jade-like stone slab was instantly smashed into powder, and spider web-like cracks spread for several zhang.
A distance of a hundred zhang was nothing to a Divine Pulse master.
But Han Changgong, whose true qi had been sealed and whose qi meridians had been locked, still couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Lord Han!"
Zhu Zhengqing, who had just rushed to the royal city, happened to see this scene, and his expression changed drastically.
He rushed over in a few steps:
"Lord Han, where is the King? What happened? Who hurt you? Could it be that Wang Quan Daoren has actually killed his way into the royal city?!"
In the blink of an eye, a figure descended from the sky, and it was none other than the Divine Catcher Liu Yanchang.
"Brother Han?"
His expression changed first, and before he could ask, he shook his hand and threw a bottle of healing medicine to Zhu Zhengqing, and stepped up to the hundred-zhang-high viewing platform.
*Boom!*
He threw Han Changgong down.
He could no longer care about his demeanor and majesty. With a stomp of his feet, he had already turned into a stream of light and rushed straight into the palace.
Liu Yanchang felt a qi dynamic disappear, and immediately ignored Yu Tian and others, whose faces were changing drastically, and strode after him.
*Buzz~*
The Feng King had just crossed through layers of checkpoints and entered the underground passage.
He heard a reprimand filled with endless anger, accompanied by a red-gold light that could not be suppressed, filling the entire underground passage:
"What happened?! Could it be that the enemy is at the city gates?!!!"
In the red-gold light, the old eunuch trembled all over, and his disheveled hair could not cover the seven orifices on his face that were bleeding.
He was furious in his heart and did not know what had happened at all.
Such a turmoil in the national fortune could only occur if an enemy country was at the city gates. Apart from this, it was absolutely impossible for such a large turmoil to occur.
Even if someone assassinated the King and the Feng King died on the throne, it would be impossible for such a large turmoil to occur.
After all, the Feng King still had brothers, children, and even uncles.
"Grandma......national fortune, scattered throughout the city.......”
The Feng King answered with a hoarse voice.
"How could this be?! Who is it? Is it Han Changgong? Is it or isn't it?"
The burly old eunuch with a red robe, white hair, and a childlike face let out a loud, soft, and angry voice, shaking the underground passage:
"Only ten more years, only ten more years and it would have been a great success. Now, it has all been in vain! How can I have the face to see the Taizu and Taizong after I die?!!!"
The wind howled in the underground passage, and the corridors several miles long were filled with thunder and rumble, and soil and rocks rustled down.
The Feng King brushed away the waves of air with a flick of his sleeve and stepped forward to ask:
"Grandma, is there any way to remedy it?"
"Remedy, yes! The national fortune has scattered but is not in chaos, and the luck is still in Fengdu. As long as the luck is still in Fengdu, there is still a chance, there is still a chance to remedy it!"
In the shrill and heavy laughter, the red-robed old eunuch suddenly stood up, his long hair dancing like a ghost:
"As long as we kill all the soldiers and civilians in this city, we can still remedy it!"
"What?"
The Feng King's heart trembled violently, and he exclaimed in horror, "That's impossible!!"
He never thought that he was a soft-hearted person, but he would never massacre his own capital.
In all dynasties, even the most absurd monarchs of a fallen country could not massacre their own capital, massacre their own people.
"How can you be a king if you are soft-hearted?!"
The red-robed old eunuch let out a stern roar and turned to grab the source of the red-gold light:
"I'll do it!"
*Whirr~*
A burst of flowing water-like sound of gold and iron clashing was accompanied by a sound of hatred that was too painful to bear.
The Feng King's pupils shrank.
He heard a dragon's roar resounding through the heavens, and a red-gold light soared into the sky. In an instant, the underground passage, which was several miles long and cast from countless gold and iron, collapsed!
*Rumble!*
Liu Yanchang had just taken a step when he felt a warning in his heart, and his body retreated a hundred zhang.
He saw that in the midst of a huge vibration, a surging red-gold light, accompanied by raging winds, erupted from the ground like a erupting volcano!
In an instant, the earth within a radius of ten miles had all been overturned, and in front of him, the entire palace collapsed!
Countless tiles, beams, and furnishings were blown into the sky by the raging air currents!
*Roar~~~*
In the shocked eyes of Liu Yanchang, Yu Tian, and a chaotic group of eunuchs, soldiers, and court experts, what soared into the sky with the red-gold light was actually a real dragon!
A dragon emerged from the ground!!
