Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 836 - 230: The Stolen Fortune of the Great Yan Kingdom! The Imperial City Trembles!_6
Although these ten people were at ten different locations, the same shocking thought simultaneously sprang to their minds.
They all gritted their teeth and thrust one arm into the array’s core, their skin suddenly lighting up with a multitude of red runes!
One after another, the dense red runes surged crazily toward the ten array cores... Accompanied by their actions, the sky and ground of the entire Great Yan Imperial City underwent a tremendous transformation!
The heavens above were filled with rolling black clouds that came from nowhere, while the earth beneath was constantly trembling ever so slightly, and it was the ground beneath the whole Imperial City that was trembling!
How vast was the Imperial City of a Dynasty?
To cause such widespread trembling was absolutely terrifying for countless people.
...
"What is this?" A Family Head from a noble family immediately looked up at the sky. As he felt the earth’s faint trembling, his eyes nearly split open as he stared at the firmament above. He could no longer maintain the composure of a noble family’s head, and he shouted in disbelief, "Great Yan... Great Yan Dynasty’s national fortune is shaking!!!"
The rolling clouds in the sky seemed to hide an elusive golden dragon spiraling continuously. But this dragon seemed to be vaguely bound by ten black chains.
These ten black chains tightly confined the illusory golden dragon.
This bizarre celestial phenomenon was not only visible to Cultivators, but even ordinary citizens could see it.
A citizen of the Great Yan Dynasty was dumbstruck: "What on earth is happening today? First, there was a Great Demon, then there was a rain of fire from the sky, then the ground started shaking, and now there’s a dragon? I’m f*cking dreaming, right?"
The images appearing today were challenging the nerves of every single person.
Near the residence of the Situ Family.
Patriarch Liu and the old Envoy looked at each other, their faces — bearing the cumulative age of probably three to four hundred years — showing an undeniably fearful expression.
"National fortune... Demons and Devils are shaking the Dynasty’s national fortune!" the old Envoy exclaimed first: "It is stealing the Dynasty’s national fortune! Damn it... how... how does it have such a method? How can it silently steal the national fortune?"
"If... if Daoist Fan Wu had not appeared in the Great Yan Imperial City, if Daoist Fan Wu had not clashed with such a demon... would we ever have known about this?"
"Would our Dynasty’s national fortune be stolen without us noticing?"
"Hiss!!!"
Realizing the severity of the issue, the old Envoy shuddered all over, his white hair nearly standing on end. For a mortal Dynasty, the national fortune was far too important!
The national fortune of a country... was almost equivalent to the lifespan of a Dynasty! Once the national fortune was stolen by Demons and Devils, the Great Yan Dynasty would face a multitude of natural disasters and calamities.
At that time, the casualties would not be counted by the thousands, but by tens of thousands, millions.
If a Dynasty’s national fortune were completely stolen.
Then everyone within the Dynasty, whether they be nobility or commoners, or even the beasts of the land... would all step by step head toward a fatal end!
It would turn into a terrifying dead nation!!!
"Mother..." Patriarch Liu was also aware of the severity of this celestial phenomenon. He never expected his own Liu Family to be entangled with such a demon. If it weren’t for Daoist Fan Wu, once the demon had stolen the national fortune, wouldn’t their Liu Family be held accountable by the Great Yan Dynasty?
Imagining such a scenario, the Liu Family felt a surge of lingering fear. Fortunately, like a savior, Daoist Fan Wu appeared out of nowhere; otherwise, their Liu family would have been beyond salvation.
"National fortune?" Liu Feng watched stupefied as the rolling black clouds in the sky entrapped the huge Illusory Golden Dragon: "Is this the legendary national fortune of a country?!"
Xing Fengzi’s expression was extremely grave: "That demon, by using the Dynasty’s national fortune, what does it intend to do?"
The Great Yan Dynasty might not be considered a very strong dynasty, but it certainly wasn’t one of the weaker ones either. The fate of such a dynasty... should not be underestimated!
Yun Jiuqing looked anxiously towards the Destiny Coffin, "Destiny Coffin, you should know what the Demons and Devils are trying to do, right?"
The Destiny Coffin titled its head, and a waterfall of white hair cascaded down.
After thinking for a moment, it took out an ancient-looking brush.
It plucked a strand of white hair and transformed it into a parchment. Feverishly, it wrote on the parchment—It wants to gather the dynastic power of the Great Yan Dynasty to annihilate the Taoist Priest!
Hiss!!!
The response from the Destiny Coffin made Yun Jiuqing and the others gasp in shock. Even Xing Fengzi, young but relatively composed, was no exception.
Using the fate of an entire dynasty... to deal with Daoist Fan Wu, isn’t that obviously a doomed venture?
Isn’t this blatantly cheating?
"Then... Daoist Priest Fan should be able to withstand this move, right?" Yun Jiuqing hurriedly asked again.
Everyone’s eyes focused on the Destiny Coffin, only to find it shaking its head, indicating that it was also unclear.
The Destiny Coffin wrote again feverishly—The power of the dynasty’s fate is too complex, severely interfering with my abilities. I cannot see the future clearly.
Everyone fell into a silence as deep as death. Did this mean that there was a fifty-fifty chance Daoist Fan Wu could withstand it and a fifty-fifty chance he could not?
...
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, are you alright?" On the top floor of a certain tower in the Imperial Palace, an old eunuch inquired anxiously and concerningly, his forehead beaded with sweat, addressing the Great Yan Emperor.
"..." The Great Yan Emperor did not speak, his complexion was extremely pale.
His brows were tightly furrowed, seemingly enduring some sort of pain.
At this moment, he could feel the fate of the Great Yan Dynasty being forcibly stripped from him! The agony of this stripping nearly made him cry out in pain.
The Emperor’s hand that was clutching the wooden railing, due to the strength of enduring the pain, had already crushed the wood.
His eyes were fixedly staring at the sky, at the Illusory Golden Dragon that was bound by ten chains and shrouded in black clouds.
"The national fate... There’s a major crisis. I... was completely unaware!"
Had it not been for the mysterious existence battling with the Demons and Devils, forcing that Great Demon to use the Great Yan Dynasty’s fate,
He, as the Emperor, would probably be oblivious to what had happened until the very end!
This made the pain-stricken expression of the Great Yan Emperor even uglier.
"What a Great Demon!!!"
He gritted his teeth!
His vision filled with rage!
