369. Tomb of Emperor Yunai(1/2)
Anle looked at Hong Yingxue's clear and pure eyes and understood her thoughts.
Although Hong Yingxue bears the name of the Heavenly Witch, she is extremely kind-hearted. When she was the saint of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she also cared about the common people and was willing to do her part for them. Therefore, after learning that the gods were enemies who wanted to harvest the Great Zhou, she
Only then will he be in extreme pain and be born with demonic nature.
But now, another remnant soul of Hong Yingxue has turned Shengcang City into its current state, and many underground city-states have been destroyed as a result.
Even though Hong Yingxue did not do this, she still placed the blame on herself.
She wants to stop her other self!
Anle nodded and said, "I understand."
Hearing what they said, the young female cultivator asked in surprise: "You...do you want to attack Shengcang City?"
Anle said: "Exactly."
The female cultivator showed bitterness on her face and said sincerely: "I advise you to give up. Although your strength is not weak, it is still far behind the current Shengcang City."
"After continuously annexing other cities, Shengcang City has become the leader of the Daxia Federation in terms of the number of monks and strength, not to mention the blessing of God Cangyan. How powerful is Shengcang City now?
Even we can’t imagine it.”
"A priest like this is not even ranked high in Shengcang City."
Hearing this, the tombkeeper and others felt awe-inspiring.
This shows that there is more than one monk in the late stage of Void Refining in Shengcang City, and there may be a strong person at a higher level.
They thought that the combat power of themselves and others was invincible in the world and could crush the planet, but Shengcang City was like a big mountain blocking them in front of them.
Moreover, with Shengcang City's ferocious momentum, I'm afraid if they don't provoke it, the monks from Shengcang City will come to capture Tianxing City, until the entire Daxia Federation becomes firewood at their feet.
Everyone's hearts were heavy.
Another monk from Shengcang City who woke up sighed: "Now in the Federation, the only one that can compete with Shengcang City is probably the Royal Capital."
"The royal capital?"
Anle's heart skipped a beat and asked, "What's the current situation in the capital of Daxia?"
The monk replied: "The last time I went to the Royal Capital was a few years ago. The Royal Capital is the core of Daxia, and it also retains the largest number of monks and resources, so it is very prosperous, but..."
He hesitated and said: "There seems to be quite a bit of conflict within the capital, and it's about...the dispute over Emperor Yun Ai."
Anle was stunned and asked in a deep voice: "Is Emperor Yun Ai still alive?"
Generally speaking, the name "Emperor Ai" can only be a posthumous title given by future generations. Anle only asked this question out of the last glimmer of hope.
The monk said strangely: "Of course Emperor Yun Ai has died a long time ago, and her tomb is in the royal capital."
Hearing this, Anle felt a little dizzy, but he still exhaled a breath and continued to listen to the other party's story.
Due to the cruel methods used by Emperor Yun Ai in order to promote the country, there were many people in the royal capital who hated her, but there were also people who defended her. Most of the latter were members of the royal family of Great Xia back then.
Emperor Yun Ai never recruited concubines or gave birth to any children, so the royal family of Daxia naturally inherited control of the royal capital.
After listening, Anle understood clearly: "The conflicts in the royal capital are superficially the historical disputes between Emperor Yun Ai, but in essence they are conflicts over the distribution of power and resources."
"Before attacking Shengcang City, I should probably go to the royal capital first."
At this moment, the tombkeeper next to him asked: "Master, what should we do with these people?"
He was naturally referring to the captured monks from Jinglei City. These people had just experienced drastic changes in their families and their lives. At this time, most of them had dull eyes and gloomy faces.
Anle thought for a moment and said, "Let's take them all back to Tianxing City first."
Some of the monks from Thunder City said bitterly: "Are you from Tianxing City?"
"We originally wanted to attack your city-state, but unexpectedly, we were saved by you..."
******
Not long after, the group returned to Tianxing City.
Chen Jiannan and others are Void Refining monks. They do not need to absorb the spiritual energy in the city. Instead, they can use the Void Refining to feed part of the spiritual power back to the dungeon.
When they saw the current situation of Tianxing City's resources being so scarce, they felt compassion and wanted to do something.
Anle waited patiently until the number of deductions was refreshed and then opened the panel.
【Start deduction!】
[On the first day, you started to search for the capital of Daxia, but because the map was too old, the roads between the city-states were mostly closed, damaged, and deep underground, making it difficult to determine the location, so the search process was not smooth. 】
[On the fourth day, you still haven’t found the location of the capital of Daxia. At this time, you met a group of monks who were migrating. After a friendly exchange, you learned the whole story from their mouths. 】
[As Shengcang City continues to invade foreign countries, the momentum becomes more and more uncontrollable. Many small city-states heard the news and decided to move their cities and fled to the capital of Daxia to avoid the disaster. So, you began to move forward with this group of monks. 】
[On the 10th day, you arrived at your destination, but you were late. 】
[The capital of Daxia in front of us has been turned into ruins, with no survivors. 】
[On the 21st day, most of the city-states in the Daxia Federation have fallen. Shengcang City finally launched a general attack on Tianxing City. You and many Void Refining monks rose up to resist. 】
[In the bloody battle, you originally had the advantage, but at this time, Shengcang City sacrificed something precious, and a pale flame floated from the void, igniting the entire planet.]
【you are dead.】
After the deduction, Anle opened his eyes with a solemn expression and thought to himself: "Is Shengcang City already so crazy?"
"That pale flame... is it the magic of God Cang Yan, or is it her incarnation?"
Anle recalled the sight of the entire planet covered in pale flames, and couldn't help but feel secretly frightened, feeling that its power was unbelievable.
He came up with a guess: "Is it because this place is no longer in the wild world, and the resistance to the arrival of gods has been greatly reduced, so the power and influence of divine magic are even more terrifying?"
Anle frowned slightly, feeling a little troubled.
Through this deduction, it is not difficult to see that the current situation of the Daxia Federation is worse than he expected.
The capital of Great Xia, for which people had high hopes, only lasted for ten days before being destroyed by Shengcang City's offensive. Other city-states were not even the combined enemies of Shengcang City.
Moreover, if Shengcang City can display pale flame-like magic at any time, then won't this battle be lost?
Anle has gone through many hardships and obstacles, and his Taoist heart has long been tempered to be indestructible. Of course, he will not be hit by this situation at this time.
He stood up, walked back and forth, thought seriously, and said to himself.
"God Cangyan is different from gods such as Our Lady of Tianyuan. She does not need the sincere faith of Shengcang people, but directly uses the residents here as tools. So, she must have other purposes for intervening in the Daxia Federation."
"After achieving this goal, God Cangyan no longer needs Holy Cang City, and it doesn't matter if the entire planet is destroyed."
An Le suddenly had an idea: "Taizhu Yuanye!"
He could think of the only thing on the Return Tomb that had the highest value and was most likely to be favored by the gods.
And Shengcang City continues to invade other cities in order to collect Taichu Yuan Liquid.
Anle thought of this and immediately made a decision: "The Taichu Yuan Liquid in the capital of Daxia must be the most among all city-states. If the destruction of the capital of Daxia can be prevented in advance, the ending of the pale flame may be avoided."
Afterwards, Anle asked the other cultivators to stay in Tianxing City while he took Hong Yingxue into battle lightly and headed to the capital of Daxia.
******
One day later.
The capital of Daxia.
The architectural style of this ancient capital is completely different from that of cities such as Tianxing City. There are quaint and elegant palaces scattered here and there, as well as large squares and towering tall buildings. These buildings are exactly the same as those of Daxia back then!
Other cities were later built in the underground space, so it was natural to save materials as much as possible, but this royal capital was brought directly to this planet from Daxia, so the difference is huge.
Every federal citizen who sees this royal capital for the first time will be amazed from the bottom of his heart and can't help but be overwhelmed by the spectacular sight in front of him.
At this time, the residents in the royal capital would quietly puff up their chests and show a bit of pride.
Although Daxia has fallen into pieces, the royal capital still has a very special status in the hearts of all federal people, and it has something to do with these simple and beautiful towers.
Most of the common people in the royal capital wear simple monochromatic clothes, but occasionally you can see some people wearing relatively exquisite clothes. The styles of the clothes are imitated from the style of the Great Xia Dynasty, with only some subtle differences.
The people in the city still used stone tokens to receive supplies, but a few shops also appeared where monks used spiritual stones to purchase goods.
Compared to other city-states, it can indeed be called prosperous.
But at this time, the people on the street looked a little uneasy and whispered.
"There seems to be a lot of instability outside the city recently. I heard people say that several city-states have been destroyed. I don't know who did it."
"I've heard about it too, it seems like it was done by people from Shengcang City."
Although the various underground city-states are closed to each other and have very little communication, the noise caused by Shengcang City this time was too great. Some monks traveling to other cities saw the remaining ruins of the city and spread the news back to the royal capital.
"Oh, so what about Shengcang City?"
At this time, a monk wearing gorgeous clothes on the street sneered: "Do they still dare to attack the royal capital? They don't have the courage!"
Hearing this, others nodded secretly.
Most of them don't think Shengcang City dares to attack the royal capital. After all, this is the royal capital!
Even though the Great Xia Federation is no longer the Great Xia it once was, the pride of the people in the royal capital is still engraved in their bones. People born in the royal capital naturally have a sense of superiority.
In the impression of the common people in the royal capital, in terms of strength and resources, Shengcang City cannot be their opponent.
