Chapter 614: Interlude of Turmoil

Chapter 614: Interlude of Turmoil

In an instant, everyone was astonished!

It has long been a well-known saying in Imperial City that when the golden dragon opens its eyes the country’s destiny will flourish.

They never expected that the alliance between the human and asura races would cause a golden dragon to open its eyes!

However, when you think about it, the strength of the asura race is unparalleled, and the asura king, Heaven Killing Asura, has even reached the realm of transcendence and is able to join hands with the Divine Guardian.

Forming an alliance with such a powerful clan was obviously a great thing. It’s reasonable to assume that it could have such an impact on the fortunes of the Great Qian!

Emperor Ming turned around, his dragon-like face filled with joy.

When he ascended the throne, only four golden dragons had opened their eyes in the Floating Dragon Hall, indicating the decline of the country’s fortunes.

But in just over a year, including the one before them now, three Golden Dragons had reactivated on the Coiling Dragon Pillar!

Eunuch Li’s excited voice trembled, “Your… Your Majesty, seven, seven Golden Dragons!”

You should know that even during the reign of the most prosperous Tianxuan Emperor in the history of the Great Qian, there were at most eight Golden Dragons that opened their eyes!

If the Great Qian could surpass the era of the Tianxuan Emperor under his reign, he would undoubtedly be portrayed gloriously in the history books. Even if he was called the Emperor of the Ages, would he still be unknown?

Looking at Qin Feng and the others again, the admiration in Emperor Ming’s eyes was no longer hidden.

‘This boy Qin Feng may be my lucky star, and he may be the lucky star of the Great Qian as well.’

‘After arriving in Imperial City, not only did the nation’s wealth increase, but various crises in all areas were safely overcome.’

‘Then there were his two wives and that Northern Ghost Head…’

At this thought, Emperor Ming looked at Anya, who was standing beside him with an excited expression on her face, her eyebrows slightly raised as if pondering something.

Originally, he had planned to let things take their course, but given the current situation, it seemed that he needed to provide some covert assistance.

Roar!

After roaring, the golden dragon swooped back into the Floating Dragon Hall and sat on the Coiling Dragon Column.

Everyone also came back to their senses, and the joy on their faces became more intense, as if they were proud of themselves.

Emperor Ming smiled at Heaven Killing Asura and said, “The matter of forming an alliance is of great importance. I must discuss it with the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower before I can confirm it. In the meantime, you can all stay in Imperial City temporarily. I will hold a grand banquet for you.”

Allowing powerful foreign races to enter Imperial City could be considered a bold move.

If the other party had bad intentions, it would undoubtedly be a huge disaster for the Great Qian.

Emperor Ming was aware of this, of course, but he also had his considerations.

Firstly, the Asura Clan always valued agreements, as could be seen from the matter of Deng Mo.

Since the other party had lost the bet, given the nature of the Asura Clan, it was almost impossible for them to go back on their word.

Secondly, it was also to show the sincerity of the human race in forming an alliance and to win the favour of the Asura King.

Upon hearing this, Asura king rubbed his chin thoughtfully, and then agreed.

The Asura Clan thrived on warfare and naturally despised such opportunities. His reason for agreeing was quite simple: “This is just the right opportunity to have a showdown with that old man.”

On the banks of the Nine Bend River, an old man with white hair and a black beard sighed.

Soon, the barrier separating the Tianlu Plain from the Upper Realm dissolved, and the formation of the Imperial City opened. The asura clan entered in a steady stream, while the extremely ferocious beasts naturally remained in their original positions.

Night fell quietly, and the lights within the Imperial City were lit. The wide streets of the inner city were lined with tables leading to unknown destinations.

These tables were filled with fine wines and delicacies, and the whole city was celebrating.

It is worth mentioning that these delicacies were all prepared by the Imperial cooks, along with those from the Star Seizing Tower and the Moonlit Pavilion. Their deliciousness was beyond imagination.

This also caused a dimensionality-reducing blow to the Asura tribe who were used to eating rough food and liked to eat raw meat…

Ten miles outside the Imperial City, several extremely ferocious beasts lay on the ground, resembling massive mountains.

On a giant tree nearby, a man dressed in yellow with silver hair muttered to himself as he looked at the majestic city, “The methods of the Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher are still as inscrutable as ever. Not only has he resolved the current crisis, but he has also prepared for the future by forming an alliance with the Asura Clan.”

“I just didn’t expect the human race to actually win this bet.”

The appearance of the Northern Ghost Head naturally astonished the man. Liu Jianli’s strength in particular made him believe that the claims of her future being comparable to that of the Divine Guardian were not just empty words.

But what surprised the man the most was Qin Feng.

“The techniques that affect time and space, and if I’m not mistaken the Seven-Step Technique, should be the Immortal Technique.”

“And in order to perform the Immortal Technique, you need to possess the Primordial Immortal Qi.” The man muttered to himself before taking out a small paper doll from his pocket, his fingertips emitting fire as he ignited it.

Several extremely ferocious beasts sensed something and looked up, only to see a flicker of fire dissipate.

And the figure of the silver-haired man was long gone.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in a luxuriously decorated room, an identical paper doll was also ignited.

Everything that happened outside of the Imperial City turned into scattered images, flashing one after the other.

A man in black robes said in a deep voice, “It seems that guy failed to hide the secret. Everything we have planned has been revealed by the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower.”

Behind the screen, a figure set down a teacup and said lightly, “The secret must have been hidden. It’s just that the National Teacher had other back-up plans, which led to this situation.”

“The hidden individuals in the Imperial City have been exposed this time, even Lord Bing Mian also exposed his identity and was killed by the prison department.”

“Young master, what should we do next?” The man in black asked.

“Wait and see.”

“Wait and see?”

The figure explained, “The moment the Netherworld appeared, the turmoil of Heaven and Earth had already begun. Demons and ghosts were rampaging, and the appearance of gods and demons manifesting in the world is inevitable.”

“We only need to strike the hardest blow at the royal family when the Great Qian is busy with its own affairs.”

“I don’t think that will be too long.”

As these words were spoken, the figure behind the screen looked to the south, where Zhenling Pass was located.

In the hidden depths of the Heavenly Burial Organisation, Ghost Buddha looked at the void with disdain and said, “Our master went to great lengths to hide the Heavenly Secrets for him, but this is the only result we have.”

“Not to mention causing trouble to Imperial City, he even sent them a great gift.”

“The alliance between the human race and the Asura Clan, isn’t that a significant gift?”

The emptiness shimmered as the figure shrouded in black qi slowly stepped forward. “It doesn’t matter. Before the arrival of gods and demons in the mortal realm, it’s always good to have someone who can attract the attention of the Imperial City.”

“As for the outcome, it matters little to us. We’ll just treat it as a side story of this chaotic era,” the figure said indifferently.

Ghost Buddha replied respectfully, “Indeed, what our master said is true. Then, we just have to wait for Garuda?”

“Yes,” the figure nodded slightly.

Although the process of gathering the remnants of the gods and demons had not gone as smoothly as planned, it was finally moving towards the outcome they had anticipated.

The appearance of the Netherworld was only a warning of the beginning of the disaster.

The moment the gods and demons descended into the world was the true beginning of the destruction of this Heaven and Earth.
