Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 826 - 813: The Furious Xuanyuan Changyun

"And you all? Have you made your decision?" Shi Feng gazed at the Golden-armored Army ahead, speaking calmly as he questioned them.

At that moment, the ten thousand Golden-armored Soldiers acted in unison, kneeling towards Shi Feng in the void, their voices ringing out in unison, "We swear to die in allegiance to the master!"

Upon hearing these shouts, Shi Feng sneered coldly once again, without saying much. This outcome was well within his expectations.

Perhaps they were not afraid of death. Death to these battle-hardened soldiers was nothing more than a brief pain before closing their eyes.

But they feared the feeling that was worse than death, where they could not even die properly.

"Stand up." Shi Feng addressed the Golden-armored Army. As his words fell, there was a swish, and the Golden-armored Soldiers stood up in unison, demonstrating their disciplined training. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Well then, I suppose they have suffered enough," Shi Feng said as he raised his head again, looking upward at the one hundred and three wailing figures. With a single thought, the pain of being devoured by a thousand ants disappeared from their bodies.

"Huff, huff! Huff, huff!"

Even though the feeling worse than death disappeared, the one hundred and three remained in mid-air, barely clinging to life, panting heavily.

"Thank... you, master!"

"Thank... you, master!"

Though harboring immense resentment in their hearts, they no longer wished to experience that feeling of being worse off than dead. Seeing Shi Feng show mercy, they quickly thanked him one by one.

"Alright, you all rest well. Shortly, I will have missions for you to carry out. You must execute them, or you are well aware of the consequences," Shi Feng continued.

"Under...stood!"

"Understood!"

As Shi Feng’s voice faded, whether it was the hundred and three above or the Golden-armored Soldiers below, they quickly responded in unison.

"Young Master Feng!" At that moment, a low shout echoed from below Shi Feng. He looked down and saw a white figure shooting out from the jungle below—it was Luo Qingchuan.

After Luo Qingchuan flew out, one figure after another clad in golden battle armor followed.

Previously, Shi Feng sensed those 5000 men in the forest, and it seemed they had now been subdued by Luo Qingchuan.

Luo Qingchuan halted beside Shi Feng, and the 5000 Golden-armored Soldiers flying up from below quickly joined up with the ten thousand Golden-armored Army that Shi Feng subdued earlier. The forces they controlled now numbered fifteen thousand.

Gazing at the fifteen thousand Golden-armored Army ahead, Shi Feng spoke to Luo Qingchuan beside him:

"Now is the time to lure out Xuanyuan Changyun. We will lead them and gradually incorporate the army outside Xuanyuan City, executing Xuanyuan Changyun’s lackeys one by one. Let’s see if Xuanyuan Changyun can remain idle!"

"Hmph!" Hearing Shi Feng’s words, Luo Qingchuan sneered and continued, "Once Xuanyuan Changyun is out of Xuanyuan City, we will redirect our forces, using your Yin Corpse to open an underground path directly to the Xuanyuan City Lord’s Mansion’s Space Cross-Domain Transmission Array."

"Indeed!" Shi Feng nodded with a cold smile.

"What about Xuanyuan Yanrou? How should we deal with her now?" Luo Qingchuan asked Shi Feng again.

That Xuanyuan Yanrou was just part of an opening gambit from the start, and they no longer needed her.

"This woman is now useless to us, and I have always disliked her. Kill her and burn her body," Shi Feng said indifferently, his expression calm, as if killing Xuanyuan Yanrou was no different from killing a dog, without any emotional fluctuation on his face.

"Understood!" Luo Qingchuan nodded, then moved once again into the jungle below, "Ah!" Following that, a dreaded and harrowing woman’s scream echoed throughout the heavens and the earth.

It sounded as if a Fierce Ghost was wailing, gruesome to the point of covering one’s skin with chills.

Afterward, Shi Feng turned around, looking towards the direction of Xuanyuan City, murmuring softly, "Xuanyuan City! Xuanyuan Changyun!"

..

In the grand hall of the Xuanyuan City Lord’s Mansion, dressed in the Nine Dragon Robe, Xuanyuan Changyun sat high on the Dragon Throne with an icy expression, furrowing brows and a face full of anger.

Just moments ago, he received the news that his subordinate Battle General Luv Shun was killed in battle, and the fifteen thousand men under Luv Shun’s command entirely defected.

"Report!" At that moment, another Golden-armored Guard entered the hall, kneeling before Xuanyuan Changyun to report:

"My lord, Lady Xuanyuan Yanrou has fallen victim to villains. Her soul stone shattered moments ago!"

Upon hearing the report, Xuanyuan Changyun’s icy angered facade persisted, responding coldly, "Shattered means shattered. That useless fool causes me endless trouble, and now she further shames me. Death resolves it all. You may withdraw."

"Yes!"

"Report!" Just as the Golden-armored Guard rose to leave, another Golden-armored Soldier dashed into the grand hall, kneeling on one knee.

Seeing this hastily entering Golden-armored Soldier, Xuanyuan Changyun’s eyelids twitched, feeling a premonition that more unfortunate news was on the horizon.

"My lord, new intelligence has arrived; General Weis Ya’s entire force of ten thousand has defected, and General Weis Ya is dead."

"What!" Hearing this report, Xuanyuan Changyun’s already enraged face twisted into further wrath, with a "bang," smashing a wine cup in his hand into pieces.

"More betrayal and defection! Those damned wretches, haven’t I treated them generously?" Xuanyuan Changyun roared, his voice echoing through the whole hall.

"Report! The five thousand soldiers under General Qingyun have defected, and General Qingyun is dead!"

"Report! Six thousand soldiers under General Long Gao have defected, General Long Gao is dead!"

Subsequently, more and more Golden-armored Soldiers rushed into the grand hall, one after another reporting intelligence that spelled disaster for Xuanyuan City.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn them all! The betrayal! Such betrayal!" Despite holding immense power over millions of lives, Xuanyuan Changyun’s long-hardened heart was still tackled by fury, releasing an earth-shaking roar, making the entire City Lord Mansion tremble intensely.

"Master, please quell your anger! Master, please quell your anger!"

The civil and military officials standing in two columns below rushed to calm Xuanyuan Changyun.

"Quell my anger! How do you expect me to do that!" Xuanyuan Changyun roared at the officials below!

Then he shouted again, "Someone! Bring my Divine Artifact, prepare my steed, I shall personally lead the expedition, to slay those two beasts!"
