The Fourth Set of Stars Changes Chapter 25: Sweeping Across

  Before the war began, Xiang Guang had been worried in his heart all along. After all, this battle was related to the entire Xiang family's star network. So Xiang Guang directly stood on the gate tower of the capital city and looked far away at the direction of the great battle on the Wu River. Along with a shooting star flashing by, Xiang Guang's whole heart was lifted up.

  "Shooting star, where did the shooting star come from?" Xiang Guang tensed up.

  Xiang Guang had no idea that it was the silver particles in Qin Yu's body, formed from the star cloud, that created this terrifying Star Power. With this ultimate move, the size of Qin Yu's fundamental - the silver star particle - was greatly reduced, but its power became even more terrifying.

  Immediately afterwards, a massive explosion occurred, and a 'round moon' comparable to the round moon in the sky was produced in the explosion. The self-explosive power of a Yuan Ying period expert was really too great.

  "Another 'Moon'." Xiang Guang's breathing became heavy, standing at the edge of the city wall with wide eyes, staring far into the direction of the battlefield.

  With that last explosion, after a long time, everything fell silent.

  "What's going on? What's the outcome, did the ancestor really kill the challenger?" Xiang Guang kept asking himself in his heart, and even sweat beads appeared on his forehead. He knew that once the ancestor died, the Xiang family would be finished too.

  Xiang Guang suddenly turned around and looked at Yi Yan, asking: "Yi Yan, I ask you, what exactly happened on the Wu River just now?" Xiang Guang also knew that there must be a fierce battle on the Wu River, but he couldn't judge the outcome either.

  It's easy for him to speak from his heart, but he's not a god, how can he judge? But with Xiang Guang staring at him like that, does he dare say he doesn't know?

  The Emperor nodded, and Yi Yan immediately bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, we are really far away from the battlefield, so it's hard to determine the specific situation. However, that 'meteor' just now should be a powerful attack burst by one of the Supreme Immortals, while the final 'moon' should be a terrifying explosion produced by the self-destruction of an immortal's Golden Elixir Primordial Infant."

  "Who exactly blew themselves up? And what was the outcome?" Xiang Guang's eyes lit up as he hastily asked.

  "Your Majesty, don't you know the old ancestor's strength? This time, it must be the old ancestor who wins." What else could Yi Yan say at this critical moment? He could only say so to make Xiang Guang feel at ease.

  "Yes." Xiang Guang listened to these words, as if he had taken an elixir, his whole body was filled with vitality, and his eyes shone brightly. "On the Dragon Continent, who can be a match for our ancestor? I've heard that even Wu De is far inferior to our ancestor. It must be so, it's just that the challenging immortal was no match for our ancestor, and in despair, he self-destructed."

  Xiang Guang thought so in his heart, and with Yi Yan and others also echoing him, Xiang Guang's mind became even more determined.

  "Alright, let's all return to the palace with me. We'll quietly await the old ancestor's return and prepare a celebratory banquet for the old ancestor." Xiang Guang was in high spirits as he immediately gave orders to several trusted ministers around him. Then, they hurried back to the imperial palace to start preparing the celebratory banquet.

  The astonishing battle just ended, and the water of Wujing River has also calmed down, almost unchanged from before. However, on both banks of Wujing River, it was a scene of devastation, with trees shattered by the terrifying explosion, grass blown away, and many ordinary people were directly shocked to death, bleeding from their seven orifices.

  "Pffft!"

  Qin De suddenly spat out a blade of grass from his mouth, and then stood up abruptly. At this moment, Qin De was covered in dust, looking like a beggar. Meanwhile, Feng Yu Zi also got up, the explosion just now was really too powerful.

  Qin De couldn't help but brush off the dust on his body, and hastily looked ahead. Before him, the vast and majestic waters of the Wujing River, thousands of meters wide, were rushing eastward with great force. On the surface of the river, there wasn't a single human figure to be seen.

  "Where's Qin Yu?" Qin De's heart began to worry, and his spiritual sense was also extended. However, Qin De, who had just reached the early stage of the Golden Elixir, had a spiritual sense range of only about a kilometer. Within this kilometer range, he couldn't find any sign of Qin Yu.

  "Feathers!"

  Qin De suddenly shouted loudly, his voice echoing over the Wujing River.

  "Your Highness, don't be in a hurry." Feng Yuzi hastily said to Qin De, "My spiritual awareness range is much larger, let me carefully investigate." Qin De heard this and immediately held his breath to calm himself down, looking at Feng Yuzi with anticipation.

  Feng Yuzi's spiritual awareness extended in all directions, and after a long time, Feng Yuzi also looked at Qin De with a helpless expression: "Your Majesty, nothing has been found."

  Qin De's face changed slightly, and then he recalled the explosion scene just now. Qin De's eyes lit up: "Feng brother, I remember that when the explosion happened, Yu Er was rushing towards the upper reaches of the Wu River. Now she should be at the bottom of the Wu River."

  Feng Yuzi shook his head and said: "This Wujing River can't be that deep, our spiritual consciousness has already reached thousands of meters, and we've already explored the riverbed, but still haven't found..."

  Pong!

  Suddenly, the water of Wujing River burst open violently, a figure shot up from the surface of the water and soared into the sky. Then, immediately after that, there was another loud explosion on the water's surface, and a black eagle also shot up from the bottom of the river to high altitude. A man and an eagle flew in the air above Wujing River.

  Qin De and Feng Yuzi saw the figure.

  "Ah, it's Yu Er." Qin De became excited all of a sudden, and saw that the man and eagle transformed into two streams of light, flying directly towards Qin De and Feng Yu Zi. In just an instant, the man and eagle arrived in front of Qin De.

  Qin Yu looked at Qin De, a faint smile on his pale face: "Father, I succeeded!"

  Qin De felt a numbness all over his body, and his eyes moistened with tears. His face was filled with excitement. No matter what, Qin De suddenly hugged Qin Yu tightly, and Qin Yu also hugged his father back. The father and son just held each other tightly like that.

  "Father King, you're... really dirty."

  At this critical moment, Qin Yu suddenly said a sentence that ruined the atmosphere. Qin De was stunned, looked at himself, and found that his whole body was covered with dust from the explosion earlier. When he got up and rushed to find Qin Yu, he didn't even wipe off the dust on his body.

  "You little stinker."

  Qin De laughed and scolded, then mobilized his true yuan energy to shake off these dusts directly.

  "Haha, you two just stop messing around and hurry back. " Feng Yuzi laughed loudly, then walked to Qin Yu's side and casually punched him in the chest, saying, "You little thing, I didn't expect it's only been a few years? You've actually killed a Yuan Ying level expert."

  Feng Yuzi watched Qin Yu grow up and naturally had a paternal affection for him. Seeing Qin Yu achieve such great things, he was also very happy.

  Qin Yu's body trembled slightly, and his face turned even paler.

  "Xiao Yu, what's wrong?" Feng Yuzi knew something was off. That punch earlier had some power to it, but for a cultivator, it was nothing.

  Qin Yu shook his head and smiled, "Nothing much, just got a bit injured from using my last resort earlier. But it's nothing to worry about, as long as I go back and focus on recovering and cultivating, I'll be fine soon." Qin Yu's face was filled with a bright smile.

  "Hmph, what a minor injury. I've used the first layer of 'Dark Moon' secret technique and lost one-third of my power. Your move was much more powerful than mine, at least losing half of your power. I estimate that your body's meridians, tendons, and bones have all suffered severe damage, and you call this a minor injury? What do you call a major injury?" Little Hei transmitted his voice through his spiritual sense.

  Qin Yu glared at Xiao Hei.

  Indeed, Qin Yu's injury was very severe this time. The silver particles in the Dan Tian Star Cloud were the source of Qin Yu's energy. Qin Yu actually used his ultimate move to burn these silver particles, and the size of the silver particles had shrunk to only half their original size.

  And with so much energy exploding at once, even Qin Yu's body couldn't withstand it, and the meridians, tendons, and bones inside his body suffered severe damage.

  "Father, let's go back. Anyway, Xiang has already died and there is nothing that can stop our Qin family now. I can also focus on my cultivation without worrying about you." Qin Yu comforted his father upon seeing the look on his face.

  Qin De nodded silently when he heard this, Xiang Yang was dead, so Qin Yu could rest assured and focus on recovering from his injuries.

  "Feather, it's tough on you." Qin De patted Qin Yu's shoulder and then smiled: "Alright, let's head back to Xiyang Town now."

  Then Qin De, Qin Yu, Hei Ying and Feng Yuzi directly broke through the air and left, rushing to Xiyang Town.

  This battle had a huge impact, and the people of hundreds of cities around saw the terrifying scene of that great war, the meteor that broke through the sky, and the terrifying energy of Yuanying's self-explosion, which was comparable to the brightness of the full moon in the sky.

  A shooting star flashes across the sky, two moons hang high.

  This legendary battle was passed down by the masters of the entire Dragon Continent, and even the immortals of the Ming and Han dynasties who later came to investigate on the spot had to admit that the strength of both sides far exceeded theirs.

  This battle also became a legend of the Profound Dragon Continent, making every martial arts expert yearn for it in their hearts.

  According to the survivors on both banks of the Wu River, this legendary battle was between two parties. One party was Xiang's family, Xiang Yang. The other party was mysterious, with one person and one eagle. Who this person and eagle were has been pursued by many people, but it is still difficult to investigate clearly, which has also become a mystery of the Hidden Dragon Continent.

  "Haha, come on, cheers, cheers!!!" Xu Yuan's face was slightly red as he stood up, swaying unsteadily.

  With Xiang Yang's death, the entire battle was no longer suspenseful, and the Qin family completely relaxed. Xu Yuan, the chief military strategist, who usually said he didn't drink wine to stay sober, now indulged in drinking without any restraint.

  At this time, if the Qin family does not win, those generals can go and knock themselves to death against tofu one by one.

  "How many years has it been, Your Majesty? We've prepared for this day for so many years. Finally, we're going to succeed! Tomorrow, with just one order from you, launching the final general attack, the last stronghold of the Chu Kingdom, Ba Chu County, will be completely in our hands!" Xu Yuan exclaimed, half-drunk.

  Qin De also nodded and said, "Yes, eighteen years. It's been a full eighteen years. In these eighteen years, I haven't had a single day of peaceful sleep. Finally... finally it's going to be successful." Qin De's entire demeanor was different now.

  No longer with the chill of the past, but rather carefree and at ease.

  "No, it's not just eighteen years, Father. My ancestors of the Qin family have been preparing for hundreds of years. Every generation has made preparations for future events, whether it was the Wooden Family or the Upper Official Family. If it weren't for these hundred-year preparations, how could we have achieved such a situation?" Qin Zheng was also very excited.

  "Right." Qin De nodded suddenly, "The preparation of the Qin family's ancestors for hundreds of years, the expectation of many years, and... Jing Yi, she has also been waiting for a very long time." Qin De suddenly fell silent.

  He recalled the scene of those years.

  "Father King." Qin Feng's eyes flashed with cold light, "That Xiang Guang, I will definitely take his head to comfort Mother's spirit in heaven." That real scene was seen by ten-year-old Qin Feng himself, and he had been waiting for this day.

  Qin De nodded and suddenly said: "Zheng Er, is the Item family's every move in the capital being completely monitored? Don't let them escape at the last minute."

  "Your Majesty, please rest assured that every member of the Xiang family is under our control. Even Emperor Xiang Guang cannot escape from the Imperial Palace in the capital." By now, the Qin family's secret troops were also completely under Qin Zheng's command.

  Qin De nodded and then looked at Qin Yu beside him, who was feeding a roasted duck to Xiao Hei. Qin De smiled as he watched his third son, for a moment just smiling without saying anything.

  "Father King."

  Qin Yu looked at Qin De who was smiling at her and couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

  Qin De's smile contained an extreme satisfaction of a father towards his own son, it was a relieved and proud smile. With such a son, Qin De knew he had something to be proud of in this life.

  On the second day, Qin De wore his armor and stood outside the west gate of Xiyang Town, looking far into the distance. Behind him were Qin Zheng, Qin Feng, Qin Yu, Xu Yuan and others, as well as a group of elite warriors guarding the core of the Qin family.

  "Hundreds of years of preparation, a single day's achievement." Qin De's eyes shone with splendor.

  The West is the target of this expedition, Baizhou Prefecture.

  Suddenly, Qin De roared at the messenger behind him: "Pass down the order, the armies of Leixue Prefecture, Shangque Prefecture, and Zhenyang Prefecture will launch a full-scale siege on Baichu Prefecture. Within half a month, I want the entire Baichu Prefecture to be pacified."

  "Yes!"

  Several messengers immediately accepted the order and rode flying birds directly to deliver the message quickly.

  Leiyang County, Shangque County, and Zhenyang County each had hundreds of thousands of troops. With the military order, more than 1.6 million troops directly rushed into Ba Chu County. Many generals of Xiang's army saw that the situation was not good and surrendered early.

  Inside, there were spies from the Qin family who had been bought with a large sum of money; outside, there was a powerful army threatening. The last county of the Xiang family was not even worth attacking, and it was swept away by the Qin army like autumn leaves.

  This is not a siege, but a race. The cavalry rushed all the way, occupying one city and arranging some troops to garrison, while other troops continued to attack and rush forward. Even if troops were dispatched to garrison cities along the way, in the end, the three armies still had more than one million men, who would gather outside the capital.
