Volume 1 Meteor Festival Chapter 34 The Descent of the Divine Moon

  "Down with the old Qing dynasty!"

  Watching Gu Qing pull out the Wan Hua sword from the rock and prepare to leave, Nian Wu Sheng and the other two hastily went up to meet him.

  "Below the Ancient Azure Pavilion, your... formation, is it complete?"

  "What's with the arrays?" Gu Qing glanced at the patterns drawn on the ground, but didn't bother explaining to them. He simply nodded and headed out of the forest.

  "Below the ancient blue pavilion, where are you going?"

  "Get out of Qilu!"

  As soon as these words came out, Xu Bing's complexion slightly darkened, and she couldn't help but think that in the end, it had still come to this - being forced to flee Da Qi...

  However, after the almost annihilated case of Wuwei Houfu, she has come to realize that if she stubbornly stays in the capital of Daqi, what will happen next. Although her heart is not too reluctant, she still sighs lightly and decides to move away from Daqi with Guqing.

  "If you don't want to leave, you can stay."

  Xu Bingning shook her head: "No need, since Daqi can't protect us, what's the point of staying in Daqi and serving this superficial dynasty?"

  "I've said it before, you can stay, the Western King's Mansion including the four northwestern counties will soon cease to exist. Even if one or two remnants remain, they will absolutely not be able to pose any threat to the Great Qi Imperial Family again. The Great Qi Imperial Family will definitely take this opportunity to completely eliminate the power of the Western King's Mansion!"

  "The western capital of Zhenxi includes the four northwestern provinces, where Ma Shangjiang will no longer exist..."

  Xu Bingning was slightly stunned and hadn't fully reacted to the meaning behind these words.

  At this time, Gu Qing said to her and Nian Wusheng: "If you have any relatives or friends in the four western counties centered on Xizheng West Wangfu, let them leave within half a month! Even if you stand here, if you don't want to be embarrassed, it's better to stay away." After finishing speaking, he didn't continue to explain and walked out of the forest directly.

  "Let all relatives and friends leave the four western counties!? This..." Nian Wusheng and others looked at each other in dismay, clearly not understanding what Gu Qing meant by these words.

  However, Gu Qing had never been one to joke around, and since he said to let his relatives and friends leave immediately, there must be a reason for it. After hesitating for a moment, he still chose to believe in Gu Qing.

  ……

  At this moment, in the Zhenxi Wangfu over 1,600 kilometers away, a high-level meeting was being held in an extremely luxurious large conference room.

  This conference room is not very large, at most it can hold twenty or thirty people. However, the ceramics and sculptures placed around the room, the lamps and decorations hanging from the ceiling, as well as the carpets covering the floor, are all extremely valuable. If you were to take out just one item, it would be enough to make a town of over a thousand people worry-free for an entire year!

  The decorations are expensive, and every person sitting here has a noble status that is unmatched. No matter which one is placed in the four counties of Xibei or the Daqi Dynasty, they will all have the ability to call the wind and rain. Especially the middle-aged man who looks like he's in his 40s sitting in the first seat, he possesses the great ability to overthrow the entire Daqi Dynasty.

  This middle-aged man was none other than the absolute ruler of the four northwestern provinces, the external surname king who even made Emperor Ning Tianchi of Great Qi tremble with fear - King Ye Ting of Zhenxi!

  At this moment, the uncrowned king inside Daqi looked at a middle-aged man below his right hand with a cold face and asked: "Ye Kai, what's the reaction from Ning Tianchi's side?"

  "Your Highness, please be at ease. Our town's West King's Mansion has ordered him to seal the border and not let anyone leave the country. Even if he had a thousand guts, he wouldn't dare say half a word of disobedience!"

  A young man in light armor next to him hummed and said, "Recently, the old guys from the Ning family are getting more and more out of hand. We let them catch someone, but they dragged their feet and delayed. It's simply unreasonable! If they could have sent troops to escort us that day, Miss would have been worried about being intercepted by the little bastard of the Wuwei Hou Mansion after leaving the city!"

  "It's indeed, our Western King's Mansion has never been so humiliated in the Great Qi for all these years. Even when we send envoys abroad, the treatment of the Great Qi imperial envoys is not as good as ours! Your Highness, in my humble opinion, we should propose to dispatch troops to defend the capital together! As long as we can station a few million people inside the capital, in the future, if anyone dares to provoke us when our people go to the capital to handle affairs, we can directly mobilize the army to destroy them!"

  "What's the use of defending King Du, anyway? Now Miss is no longer facing the Ning family. With the strength of our Xizhao Wangfu, destroying a small Daqi dynasty is not a problem at all. Since those old ghosts of the Ning family are so ungrateful, we might as well destroy the Daqi Ning family and replace..."

  The middle-aged man had not finished speaking, when Town West King Ye He was already shouting: "Shut up! I gathered you all today to think of a way to capture the remnants of the Wuwei Hou Mansion. Look at you, one by one, spouting nonsense! The Great Qi imperial family has been kind to our ancestors, and our ancestors have clearly established the ancestral teachings that we must wholeheartedly support the Ning family's imperial status, no matter what. Are you trying to make me go against the ancestral teachings?"

  Xiwang Dongnu's face turned red with rage, and the middle-aged man who had just proposed the rebellion quickly knelt down with a terrified expression: "Your Highness, please forgive me, I never meant to..."

  "Alright, alright!" Town West King waved his hand: "I understand what you mean. The status and prestige that our Town West King's mansion currently has far exceeds the Great Qi Imperial Court. Isn't it enough to rule our own country within a country? Why must we bear the burden of this eternal curse for those few remaining continents and counties?! This matter will not be mentioned again from now on, rise up!"

  "Your subordinate has taken note, thank you, Your Highness!"

  Ye Jing nodded, his gaze slowly sweeping across the crowd in the room. "The Wu Wei Hou Fu is nothing," he said. "Even if Gu Yi Feng's seventh son, Gu Qing, with his Ninefold Refinement cultivation, were to stand before me, the master of the Zhen Xi Wang Fu, he would be nothing but an ant-like figure. If he dared to set foot in my Zhen Xi Wang Fu, I could crush him easily. However, although they may grow stronger in the future, they will never pose a threat to our Zhen Xi Wang Fu. But the humiliation they inflicted upon my son must be avenged! Therefore, that group of rabble must die! Even if it means turning the entire Great Qi upside down, I will not hesitate!"

  Death in one move, the whole venue seems to be filled with a sound of golden armor and iron horse's killing intent!

  "Ye Kai, Ye Yin, you two, immediately lead people to the imperial capital and let Emperor Ning Tianchi assist us in sealing off the border passes. Ye Leng, Ye Qun, you two, lead your troops to search for anyone related to the Wuwei Marquis's manor. Ye Zhengming, Wang Hao, Zhang Chao, you three are responsible for guarding the manor! Although I reckon that group of jokers wouldn't dare set foot in our Western Four Counties, basic precautions are still necessary! If they die, we won't even bat an eye, but if because of them, even one person from our manor gets hurt, it would be a huge loss!"

  Ye Jing finished speaking and stood up as soon as his name was called, responding loudly: "Yes, Your Highness."

  The remaining few people saw that they all had tasks assigned to them and couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency: "Your Highness, what about us? Please assign us tasks, we will definitely do our best to complete them!"

  "You all, rest assured, you have your tasks, don't forget, there's also Mingjian Mountain!"

  "Nameless Sword Mountain!" The remaining few people slightly paused, immediately thinking of Nian Wusheng who had hindered Miss's plan.

  "You few, lead the 100,000 elite troops and the Blood Eagle Guards to Namesword Mountain immediately! Nian Wusheng actually dares to collude with the remnants of the Wuwei Marquis's estate and oppose our Zhenxi Wangfu. I will make the entire Namesword Mountain pay the price for his foolish actions!"

  As soon as they heard that there was still such a big scene waiting for them, the remaining few people's eyebrows and eyes simultaneously revealed a hint of excitement.

  Just as the leaves were about to be distributed to their respective jobs, preparing to show off their vigor and let the world see the majesty of the Western King's Mansion, the originally sunny and bright conference room suddenly dimmed slightly, as if a gigantic object had suddenly blocked out the sun, plunging the entire area into darkness.

  As the darkness descended, the courtyard outside the palace also transmitted a burst of noise, among which faintly heard some cries of surprise, these cries were so loud that even in the soundproof conference room, they could be heard clearly!

  He looked up at the ceiling and furrowed his brow: "What's going on, why did it suddenly get dark? Zheng Ming, go take a look. And tell the servants to be quiet, what's all the fuss about? It's just cloudy outside, no need to make such a big deal!"

  "Yes!" The summoned Ye Zhengming immediately stood up and said: "Your Highness, please be at ease, I will go take care of this trivial matter right away!"

  After finishing speaking, he went straight out of the conference room.

  However, what they didn't know was that the incident unfolding before their eyes wasn't just a simple matter of the sky turning dark. Behind the darkness, waiting for them was an unprecedented catastrophic disaster that had been brewing since the establishment of the Western King's Manor three hundred years ago.
