710 At the Peak of Fenghai, We Sing Our Aspirations (1)

In April, Year 2932 of the Mystic War Calendar, the Fenghai County Governor died. The Holy Wave Race’s army invaded three provinces and the Black Heaven Race invaded the Grand Imperial Capital Region.

Fenghai County immediately entered a state of emergency.

In June of the same year, Fenghai County defended alone for nearly two months. The northern front collapsed. The Observance Palace’s Palace Master, Li Rongyu, died in battle; the Palace Master of the Law Palace, Zhang Hengxin, died in battle; Yao Tianyan went missing; and the alliance army suffered countless casualties. They were routed for 100,000 kilometers.

A day after the defeat in the north, the western front collapsed. The Sword Holding Palace’s Palace Master, Kong Liangxiu, died on the battlefield.

At the critical moment of the human race in Fenghai County, the seventh son of the Human Emperor, against all objections, carried deep concerns for the county. After breaking through the heavy seals of the Black Heaven Race, he finally arrived in Fenghai County.

The Seventh Prince led a mighty army of 60 million troops from the Imperial Capital. With the might of the Upper Mystic Five Ministries, he used the 49 generals of the Eastern Triumph to sweep through the northern front.

After killing the 7 million enemy cultivators from the Holy Wave Race’s Heavenly Wind and Earth Dynasties that had invaded the northern region, he used their flesh and blood to erect an indestructible defense line in the northern front.

He then personally led 27 generals and 113 commanders to the western front on the four-clawed golden dragon carriage.

When the western front collapsed and the human race in Fenghai County was at the critical moment of life and death, he stopped the Holy Wave Race’s Red Spirit and Moon Fog Dynasties and even personally attacked, heavily injuring the two monarchs.

The Seventh Prince, leading by example, opened the path to victory for the human race. Not only did he heavily injure the two monarchs, but he also killed more than 6 million troops in the western war zone.

The monarchs’ blood flowed and dyed the sky red. The Seventh Prince didn’t care about his own safety and coordinated with the generals to use the human race’s forbidden secret technique, sealing half of the province and restricting the spread of the Black Heaven Race’s regional artifact.

This was to preserve the defeated army of the western front.

After that, he integrated the remnants of the northern and western army and established a unified battlefront. A mighty army of millions joined with the human cultivators of Fenghai County to guard the borders of Fenghai County. He also dispatched three generals and ten commanders with a portion of the Imperial City’s cultivators to sweep through the entire Fenghai County to eliminate the black-clothed guards and rebel forces.

The entire Fenghai County was excited, while those with evil intentions trembled in fear!

The evil aura in Fenghai County was cleared out and there were signs of peace for the human race in the county.

The Alliance of the races cheered and the thousand races complied.

In July of the same year, after suffering a defeat, the Holy Wave Race launched a total offensive, forming a terrifying army that pressed forward.

The Seventh Prince, with his remarkable talent and strategic vision, employed excellent tactics of leading the united force. He adopted a strategy of luring the enemy deep into his territory and then initiated a counteroffensive. He ignited the earth fires in the Yutian Province and Qiling Province, causing numerous volcanoes to erupt and shaking the earth and mountains. The flames spread across the Linlan Province and Taihe Province, engulfing the four provinces in a devastating fire.

Within the four provinces, darkness prevailed. Only the undying earth fire continued to surge into the sky and burn for more than a month.

The Holy Wave Race’s army were in an extremely disadvantageous position and countless people died. In the end, their invasion was completely blocked.

The news of this great victory spread to the other provinces of Fenghai County. All the races in the entire county cheered.

The Deputy Governor requested for the prince to preside over the county capital many times, but he was rejected every time. However, after this great victory, the Prince, deeply concerned for his soldiers, finally agreed to lead a force of ten million battle-hardened warriors and journey to the capital city in seven days’ time.

Today was the third day before the prince set off.

At the border of the Qiling province, Xu Qing silently sat on a boulder and looked at the distant world.

Compared to before, his appearance was very different.

The Daoist robe of the Sword Holder had been replaced with tattered armor, and his once long hair was now short. His entire body was dirty and covered in grime, while the scent of blood lingered in the air. His lips had cracked numerous times, showing signs of extreme dryness.

His eyes revealed intense fatigue.

In his vision, the sky was dark and thick smoke billowed. The once green mountains, clear rivers, and the warm land were now pitch-black and there were still lingering flames everywhere.

Amidst the ruins, he could see countless charred bones…

Xu Qing stared at these and fell silent.

After a long time, he heard footsteps behind him. It was Kong Xianglong.

His attire was similar to Xu Qing’s. He was equally tired and lonely. After he walked to Xu Qing’s side, he sat at the side and looked at the distant world as he spoke in a low and hoarse voice.

“Xu Qing, go and rest. I’ll take over the watch. When I came, I saw your eldest senior brother, and he asked me to tell you to go back quickly.”

“The Deputy Palace Master told me in the morning to follow him to the county capital in three days. He also mentioned you.”

“The Secretariat Department is no longer around. There’s no point in you staying here, so I helped you agree.”

Kong Xianglong calmly spoke. His voice was a little numb and there were no emotions in it.

Xu Qing silently stood up and looked at the extended defense line in the surroundings. Most of the people here were the human cultivators from Fenghai County and the army from the Imperial City was camping at the second defense line further away.

After a long time, Xu Qing retracted his gaze and patted Kong Xianglong’s shoulder. He then took out a flask of wine and placed it to the side.

It was the remaining half of the wine after he had stood guard here for a day and night.

Kong Xianglong picked up the wine flask and took a big gulp. The moment Xu Qing turned to leave, he suddenly spoke.

“Xu Qing, did you see that figure…”

Xu Qing closed his eyes, covering his weary eyes, and nodded.

Kong Xianglong fell silent. After a long time, he spoke in a low voice.

“What do you think of this prince?”

“He’s a ruthless person,” Xu Qing said hoarsely.

He recalled the scene of the four-clawed golden dragon descending from the sky and the figure on it as the large net of Taboo magic treasure collapsed.

“Detonating the earth fires in the two provinces. The old man… The Palace Master was already carrying out this matter back then, so he has been helping the human race in the two provinces settle down in other places. But this Prince is ruthless. In his eyes, there is only victory, only fame, and no regard for human lives!”
