Chapter 478: Empress of the Moon
Bing Yan broke away from Yun Che's palm and attached to the stone gate, there was no roar of power, no explosion of Feng Yan and Bingyi, not even the slightest sound and the light released by power, it slowly extinguished and disappeared silently.
And the stone gate where Bingyan is attached has an extra depression the size of a fist!
This depression presents an incomparably regular hemispherical shape, which is so smooth that it is comparable to the most immaculate mirror, as if it had been polished with the most exquisite craftsmanship in the world.
Looking at the depression that was close at hand, Yun Che's face showed a look of surprise. Before, he opened purgatory, used the strongest attack, and even shattered the dragon que, only to make a gap the size of half a fingernail, so that he only saw a glimmer of light coming out of here, and now, the miracle created by Bingyan ...... But it was so clear that he could see the day he walked out of here!
"Very good!" Yun Che clenched his hands excitedly: "In this way, at most, a few hundred times at most, you can blast out a big enough gap!"
Yun Che opened his hands again, burning Feng Yan and condensing the ice, but once, before the fusion began, his brain was dizzy, and there was a deep sense of weakness in the Xuan veins. After the reaction of Xuan Li and Spiritual Power made him hesitate, he put away Feng Yan and Bingyi, then closed his eyes and concentrated, and recovered his Xuan Power and Spiritual Power with all his might.
Half a day passed, and Yun Che's Xuan Power and Spiritual Power finally returned to their peak state, and began to reintegrate with Ice Flame. This time, the time of fusion seemed to be slightly shorter than the last time, and as he blasted the ice flame towards the stone gate, the location was the depression caused before. Suddenly, as the ice flame silently devoured and destroyed, the previous fist-sized depression was significantly expanded in width and depth, but it was still as smooth as a mirror, without roughness or water chestnut.
The only thing he had to do in this place where he had been imprisoned for eighteen months was to get out of here. In the following time, Yun Che basically spent all of his time fusing ice flames and restoring his mystical power and energy. The same actions and processes are repeated every day...... Unconsciously, the speed at which he fused the ice flame became faster and faster, from the initial maximum of two fusions a day, but three times a day, to four times a day...... Five months later, at the limit, he was able to barely fuse five times a day!
Compared with the beginning, both the time required for fusion and the consumption of Xuan power and spirit have decreased several times.
And in this process, his Xuan power and spiritual power have also been tempered to a great extent......
――――――――――――――――
Tianxuan Continent, Cangfeng Country.
At this time, it has been two full years since the news of Yun Che's burial in the Taigu Xuanzhou came. While Yun Che was struggling in the Ancient Xuanzhou, the Cangfeng Country had already become chaotic, and gunsmoke was everywhere.
The capital of the Cangfeng Country, the Imperial City of the Cangfeng.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong, Crescent City has completely fallen, Murong City Lord and General Zhenhuai have died in battle one after another, and some disciples of Crescent Moon Xuanfu have spontaneously organized to resist...... All of them were killed...... Now, Crescent City, the Realm of Fire, and the Thick Earth Realm ...... All of them have been lost......"
The bad news came, causing everyone present to change color. Dongfang Xiu, the lord of Cangfeng Mansion, exclaimed: "How can it be so fast! Isn't there a full 400,000 defenders on the side of Crescent Moon City!"
"Back to the Eastern Mansion Lord, yesterday there were suddenly four more powerhouses of the Phoenix Divine Sect in the siege team of the Divine Phoenix Empire, and they are all said to be powerhouses of the Hegemony Realm...... The 400,000 defenders, more than half, died under their phoenix flames...... Half of the Crescent City has been burned to the ground!" said the wounded soldier, already crying.
Four Overlords......
The people present were all people with extremely high power in the Cangfeng Country, but under such news, they were still shocked, sweating all over, and even had a sense of despair in their hearts. Their eyes were all focused on Cangyue's body.
Cang Yue, dressed in gold and wearing a purple and gold crown, stood on top of the city tower, looking at the south, as if she saw the ruthless gunpowder smoke from afar. Her face was still majestic, her beautiful eyes were calm, and the news of the fall of Crescent City did not seem to affect her in the slightest.
She is no longer the gentle and weak Princess Cangyue who only has Yun Che in her life, but the Empress Cangyue who holds the highest power in her hands and leads all the people of Cangfeng in the chaos of war.
She turned around, her phoenix eyes swept over everyone, and her voice was as flat as water: "Everyone, do you have anything to say about the fall of the new moon?"
The generals looked at each other, but they did not stand up for a month. The Divine Phoenix Empire is too powerful, compared with the Cangfeng Country, the disparity in national strength is so great that it can basically be called a world of difference, and the war with the Divine Phoenix Empire cannot be called a war at all, but a one-sided slaughter and crushing. It has only been less than two years since the sudden invasion of the Divine Phoenix Empire, more than half of the territory of the Cangfeng Kingdom has fallen, and the five most important main cities have all fallen, and it will not be long before they will attack under the Cangfeng Imperial City...... Not to mention the current Cangfeng Country, even if it is ten times more powerful, it is basically impossible to resist it.
In the face of absolute strength, any strategy and fighting spirit are useless and vain.
In the deathly silence, finally a person couldn't help it, got up and shouted: "Imperial sister! This battle, we can't win it at all, all resistance, except for increasing casualties, is meaningless at all! The Divine Phoenix Empire is already under the pressure of a large army, and it won't take much to come to the Cangfeng Imperial City, and it is the most correct choice for us to surrender as soon as possible and quell this war!"
The person who spoke was none other than the second prince...... No, with Cang Yue's ascension to the throne as emperor, his current identity is already a prince. As soon as his words came out, the faces of some of the generals present suddenly showed anger...... And these are only a small part, but the eyes of the vast majority of people are flickering. Because the night said what they had held in their hearts for a long time, but they did not dare to say.
"Presumptuous!" Cang Yue angrily reprimanded: "At the moment of national crisis, the city of Xinyue has fallen, not only are you concerned about the national danger and hate the Divine Phoenix, but you have shouted such shameful words as surrender in public! You have really disappointed the emperor!"
Cangye glanced at the reactions of the people around her, gritted her teeth, and said sharply: "Imperial sister! How powerful the Divine Phoenix Empire is, and whether the Cangfeng Kingdom will still exist in a few years, we all know it! The so-called resistance is meaningless at all! If we surrender and take the initiative to meet the Divine Phoenix Army, the war can be stopped immediately, and after the Divine Phoenix Empire accepts our Cangfeng Country, it will not only let us live, but also give us a high status......
"Shut up!" Empress Cangyue's willow eyebrows slanted, and she was furious: "Cangye! As a prince of the royal family, you actually said such a rebellious and shameless thing! Have you forgotten how the Divine Phoenix Army wreaked havoc on my Cangfeng territory? Have you forgotten how many Cangfeng people lost their lives to defend the territory? Have you forgotten how your father died...... In front of such a national enemy and family hatred, and the bones of countless heroic martyrs, you are so greedy for life and afraid of death, and you are willing to be a slave of the country......"
Cangfeng's chest rose and fell violently, obviously disappointed and angry: "Thinking of your first offense, this emperor will forget what you just said for the time being, if you dare to say anything that ruins the dignity of my royal family, this emperor will never spare you!"
Being scolded so angrily by Cang Yue in the name of all the important ministers, Cang Ye's face was gloomy, he gritted his teeth, and shouted unwillingly: "Imperial sister, this king is by no means greedy for life and afraid of death, but for the sake of my Cangfeng royal family, for the safety of everyone present, and for the entire Cangfeng country! Everywhere the Shenhuang Kingdom went, the major sects surrendered one after another, and even Xiao Zong and other sects took the initiative to greet him and show their loyalty...... Only when there is life can there be everything, and the temporary humiliation that can be endured is the great husband...... And the imperial sister, you are now the Emperor of the Wind, as long as you take the initiative to surrender, maybe the Divine Phoenix Royal Family will still crown you as the Lord of the Wind, otherwise, you will only have a dead end. Fates couldn't be more different...... Imperial sister, you really don't want to be obsessed anymore!"
"Bastard!" Empress Cangyue was completely furious, and her majestic gaze became cold and piercing: "Come on, escort Cangye down the city tower for me, and behead me in public!"
As soon as Cang Yue's words came out, everyone present was taken aback, and suddenly more than a dozen old ministers hurriedly stood up, but before they could speak, Cang Yue had already said coldly: "Who dares to intercede, join together!"
The two golden-clothed guards immediately flew up, firmly held Cangye in place, and dragged them backwards. Cang Ye never thought that Cang Yue would really want to kill him...... After all, he is Cangyue's biological brother and the prince of the Cangfeng royal family. As he struggled, he hissed and roared, "You...... You dare to kill me, I am the Prince of Cangfeng, your royal brother...... All my words are for the sake of the royal bloodline, why did you kill me...... If you kill me, how can you be worthy of your dead father!"
"If this emperor doesn't kill you, he will be sorry for my father, and sorry for my ancestors and ancestors of the Cangfeng royal family! It is a shame for my Cangfeng royal family to have such a scum like you who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and is willing to be a slave...... There's no need to drag it out, you will be beheaded on the spot!!"
"Imperial Sister...... You...... Wait, Royal Sister...... Ahh
......Shh
As the golden-clothed guard's sword fell, the head of the night flew up from the neck in the eyes of everyone, spilled blood and flew out, and then slammed to the ground, dragging the scarlet blood and rolling far away.
Everyone's throats "grunted" heavily, and those who came out to intercede for the night retreated in a panic, their legs trembling. After Cangyue ascended the throne, Cangfeng Xuanfu was completely loyal to her under the leadership of Dongfang Xiu, controlling the power of Cangfeng Xuanfu, and being the emperor, which is equivalent to holding the highest power of life and death.
"The wind can be destroyed vigorously, but it will never live in humiliation! The wind is extinguished, the emperor dies, as long as the emperor has a breath, he will swear to fight to the death with the Divine Phoenix Empire...... You, but there are still people who want to surrender?"
Empress Cangyue's gaze swept over everyone, her voice carried a heavy majesty and a faint murderous aura, and as her voice fell, all the hundreds of ministers on the field hurriedly knelt down, silent, and no one dared to mention the word "surrender".
Dongfang Xiu stood at the front, silently looking at Empress Cangyue, and sighed in his heart: he has been with Cang Wanyan for a long time, Cangyue can be said to have grown up with him, in the royal family, where there is gunsmoke everywhere, her heart is like a pool of clear still water, a soft flower. She hates strife, never bullies any subordinate as a princess, is gentle and kind, don't say killing, from childhood to adulthood, she is a small animal, and she is never willing to hurt.
After she and Yun Che got married, she didn't ask about the royal family anymore, and even completely forgot her identity as a princess, and her whole heart was completely tied to Yun Che's body, after Yun Che went to the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace, she leaned on the window every day and looked forward to it, and did not hesitate to ask all the palace maids around her for advice, quietly learning all kinds of things that wives should know, just thinking about how to become Yun Che's best and perfect breath.
Now, he has become a completely different person, decisive in killing, domineering in the world, and sometimes even ruthless and ruthless. The former softness is completely gone.
Two years ago, the news of Yun Che's burial in the Taigu Xuanzhou came, Cangyue fell into a coma on the spot, and he couldn't afford to be ill...... Three months later, Cang Wanqi was assassinated, and when he was dying, he could not find anyone to inherit the throne...... Those princes were intrigued on weekdays, trying their best to curry favor in front of Cang Wanqi, and dreamed of inheriting the throne, but at that time, the army of the Shenhuang Empire invaded, and Cangfeng was already a mortal realm, and who wanted to be the king of this dead country?
At this time, Cang Yue, who was still immersed in the pain of Yun Che's death, appeared in front of Cang Wanyan's bed, and with her soft shoulders, she took the initiative to resist the heavy responsibility of this country when she died. In the history of the Cangfeng royal family, there has never been a female emperor, but when Cangyue succeeded to the throne, all the princes did not object, but breathed a long sigh of relief.
Dongfang Xiu still remembers that at that time, Cang Wanyu grabbed Cang Yue's hand, his eyes were full of tears, and he said softly: "Yue'er, I've suffered you......" and then his eyes froze, and the old tears slipped down, and he didn't blink his eyes.
Yes, it did hurt her. At the same time, she suffered the pain of losing her husband and the difficulty of losing her country...... If you are an ordinary woman, it is impossible to carry it. But she carried it down, and after succeeding to the throne, she did not shed a single tear, and her temperament changed completely...... In other words, before the national disaster, she had to change.
She has been in power for a year and a half now, and she has experienced and endured more than she has been in power for decades. And her current prestige and imperial posture are not inferior to the original Cangwan. Every word and deed is full of Diwei.
Dongfang Hugh didn't know whether to be relieved or heartbroken.
"General Feng, you immediately lead all the iron cavalry under your command to march south, and at the same time transmit the sound of the desert lord Geng Wanli, let him abandon the northwest and set off for the south immediately...... Day and night, within fifteen days, we must meet in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range north of Crescent City! Then divide the two sides of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, and wait for the Divine Phoenix Army to arrive, and ambush left and right!"
"Remember, the more inward the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range is, the more ferocious the Mysterious Beasts are, so you can hide on the periphery, and you must not go deep!"
At the mention of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, Cang Yue's heart trembled...... Because back then, they had hearts for each other, and they were in the common tribulation of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
"The last general will be ordered!" A mighty general wearing silver armor and a majestic body came out to salute, and then raised his head and asked: "Your Majesty, if Geng Wanli wants to go south, he will pass through the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range, do you want him to ask the Heavenly Sword Mountain Villa for help again?"
Empress Cangyue's eyebrows furrowed, her eyes turned to the direction of the Heavenly Sword Villa, and she said in a cold voice: "A thousand years ago, my Cangfeng Ancestor, and the Heavenly Sword Ancestor were friends of life and death, the two supported each other, one held the power of the world, the other controlled the power of the world, and swore to each other, living and dying together, if one side was in danger of extinction, the other party must do its best to help...... Back then, my Cangfeng royal family was in turmoil, and my father was poisoned by traitors, and they ignored it, which was already unkind and unjust, but at that time, the royal family was not in danger of survival, and they could still forgive. ”
"And now, Cangfeng is in the middle of the country, and in the past two years, they have asked the Heavenly Sword Villa for help nine times, and even at the cost of groveling, they have closed the villa and never paid attention to it. Now that they have fallen out of righteousness, why should we bring shame upon ourselves again!"
General Feng nodded slowly: "The last general knows, and the last general will retire." ”
"Wait!" Empress Cangyue turned around: "Although it has been severed, Heavenly Sword Villa should indeed go again." ”
Empress Cangyue's voice fell, and a pale golden silk silk had been spread out in her hand, and she pointed at the condensation of Xuanli and quickly wrote on the silk......
"The hatred of injustice, the hatred of indifference, this emperor remembers! If this wind is not overcome, the wind and the heavenly sword will no longer be gracious, and they will always be enemies!"
The Empress of the Moon did not hide it when she wrote, and anyone who got a little closer could clearly see what she wrote on the silk. After finishing writing, she folded the silk silk and handed it to General Feng: "Send someone to the Heavenly Sword Mountain Villa, you don't need to see anyone, just throw it under the foot of the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range!
Looking at the handwriting of Diwei on the silk, General Feng nodded heavily, put the silk away, and quickly retreated.
Empress Cangyue watched him leave, then turned away, looking into the distance, no one knew what was going on in her heart.
“...... I am the daughter of the wind and the wife of Yun Che, even if I die, I will never tarnish the prestige of my family and husband!"
