Chapter 198: Chapter 198: The Revival of the Emperor

With only two days remaining, the pursuing army was celebrating their victories, closing in rapidly. A last plea for votes was made! —

Heaven's Law? The bloodied general stared wide-eyed at Zhong Shan, this Golden Core stage cultivator who boasted shamelessly. You created this? A mere Golden Core stage cultivator daring to name his rudimentary technique 'Heaven's Law'?

Of course, the general couldn't speak anymore. His internal organs were exposed, his body almost split in half. He couldn't survive, only able to die with unfulfilled bitterness and resentment.

The name Zhong Shan gave his blade technique might have sounded arrogant, but he knew what its future potential could be. Now, it was merely a grand vision; in the future, it would undoubtedly live up to its name.

In the critical moment earlier, if the general had been vigilant, he could have avoided the attack. However, Zhong Shan's series of maneuvers left him no chance. Zhong Shan first used the Hongluan Mist to distract the general, breaking his focus for just a moment. Though the general quickly regained clarity, his comprehensive awareness was disrupted. When the thunderbolt appeared, the general instinctively swung his blade to counter it, leaving himself open to what seemed like a 'weak' strike from Zhong Shan, which led to his downfall—a mistake so grave he had no opportunity to regret it.

While this strike demonstrated the power of 'Heaven's Law,' it also showcased Zhong Shan's exceptional wisdom, a critical factor in this life-and-death scenario.

Another Nascent Soul stage expert had fallen to Zhong Shan.

Zhong Shan slowly surfaced and quickly left the area, finding a secluded valley. He entered a cave and blocked the entrance with rocks before examining the black jade talisman he had just obtained.

The black jade talisman, now completely transformed into a thin piece of black jade, was covered with intricate, bizarre runes. The more Zhong Shan stared at the runes, the more patterns seemed to emerge, leading to a sense of mental chaos.

Shaking his head, Zhong Shan quickly closed his eyes to calm his mind. Sweat dripped from his forehead as he took a deep breath and reopened his eyes to look at the talisman again.

How should he hide this talisman?

He infused a bit of his true essence into it.

"Buzz..."

The black jade talisman vanished? Zhong Shan's eyes widened, and then he felt a disturbance in his Purple Mansion. He focused inward.

Surrounded by pure yang energy, at the very center, the black jade talisman floated.

"Uh?" Zhong Shan was slightly astonished. Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

With a mental command, a bit of pure yang energy infused into the talisman, and it returned to his hand instantly.

Looking at the suddenly reappeared black jade talisman in his hand, Zhong Shan swallowed hard, realizing he had found a treasure.

He stored the talisman in his Purple Mansion again, but an unusual energy barrier around it prevented him from examining it closely.

Zhong Shan checked it thoroughly and found that the talisman neither absorbed pure yang energy nor emitted any aura. It seemed to merely be stored within the Purple Mansion.

Not in a rush, Zhong Shan decided to investigate it further later since it posed no immediate threat.

After tidying up, Zhong Shan left the cave, planning to head toward the Yuheng Sect.

After Zhong Shan chased after the black jade talisman, the area above the dark spring saw great turmoil. The combined assault from the powerful cultivators failed to break open the Great Qin City.

Bai Ye, with his blood-stained saber, single-handedly held off all the strong attackers.

"Retreat~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!" Mr. Shui Jing did not hesitate, grabbing Gu Lin and retreating.

But within the Great Qin City, a shadow instantly appeared before Mr. Shui Jing. Mr. Shui Jing raised his hand to strike.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~" "Pfft~~~~~~~~~~~~"

With a thunderous crash, Mr. Shui Jing spewed a mouthful of blood. Although enveloped in dark energy, he still managed to use the force of his strike to pull Gu Lin and retreat far away, escaping the battlefield.

Inside the Great Qin City, there were not just one but eight shadows. The Emperor's eight guards left a series of afterimages as they swiftly darted in all directions.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~" "Pfft~~~~~~~~~"

Chuba Mara clashed with one of the zombie guards, spitting a mouthful of blood before fleeing with Xie Yan.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

Huiguang Arhat also exchanged a palm strike with a zombie guard, his face showing shock as he turned to flee.

These were Emperor Realm experts—Mr. Shui Jing, Chuba Mara, and Huiguang—yet they dared not face the zombie guards head-on. How could Princess Qianyou, who was only at the Fusion stage, fare against them?

A zombie guard appeared before Princess Qianyou. Ah Er's eyes widened as he unleashed a burst of energy to confront the guard. Meanwhile, Ah Da, pulling Princess Qianyou, left only an afterimage as they fled far away.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~" "Pfft~~~~~~~~"

Ah Er spewed blood, using the force to swiftly escape.

All the Emperor Realm experts fled, taking their people with them. But could the generals of the Grand Ye Dynasty escape? These generals, only at the Nascent Soul stage, were completely annihilated by the zombie guards. Even the Fusion stage army commanders were killed by them.

After slaughtering everyone, the eight guards surrounded the Emperor.

The Emperor drained Bai Ye of all his blood. Bai Ye, a formidable Emperor Realm expert, couldn't resist at all. After absorbing all his blood, the Emperor spat a drop of golden-red blood back into Bai Ye, who was then enveloped in a red glow.

Only then did the Emperor release Bai Ye. The Emperor's previously blood-red eyes returned to normal, showing whites and pupils. With a slight movement, the dragon-scaled wings retracted, and a look of intense excitement flashed in his eyes.

Looking up at the sky, the Emperor laughed heartily, "Hahahahaha~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

His joyous laughter, filled with the thrill of rebirth, shook the surrounding space. It lasted for twenty breaths before ceasing. Meanwhile, the red glow around Bai Ye slowly dissipated. He opened his eyes and gazed at the Emperor, then knelt in mid-air.

"Greetings, Your Majesty," Bai Ye bowed deeply.

The Emperor glanced at Bai Ye, then at the Great Qin City. With a wave of his hand, the city seemed to shrink and quickly flew towards him. With a flick of his sleeve, the Emperor stored the city within it.

He looked up at the setting moon; dawn was approaching.

"Let's go~~~~~~~~~~~~~~" the Emperor said, stepping forward.

Bai Ye swiftly rose, followed closely by the eight guards, and they disappeared into the forest.
