Chapter 560
Instantly, tens of thousands of eyes looked over. It was an extremely complicated sight.
Prince Lian cleared his throat and said in a clear voice, on behalf of the six Supreme powers, the great Yan Empire, all the countries in the world, and the Arbitration Council, I officially announce that Shen lang is the winner of this duel!
The entire dueling ground was in an uproar for a moment, and then quickly fell into silence again.
There were no cheers, no cheers.
Apart from shock, the tens of thousands of people present felt complicated emotions that could not even be described with words.
Su Nan and the rest swept their gazes across the entire place, especially at the officials of the newly established Kingdom and the 10000-plus civilian representatives.
Emperor Shen lang won. He is your true master, the only Emperor of great Qian Empire. He has created another miracle today by defeating and killing Ying Wuming. Aren’t you going to show your gratitude?
Could it be that you all want to follow the rebels of the Ying clan to the end?
Previously, all of you thought that His Majesty Shen lang was too weak to protect you. However, he has already defeated Ying Wuming. Isn’t that enough to prove himself? He’s created so many miracles, don’t you all believe in him?
However, the entire place was still silent. No one cheered for Shen lang, and their gazes were still complicated.
“Let’s go!” Su Nan said coldly.
Then, he led the hundreds of members of the diplomatic corps from raging tide city and coldly left.
........................
The news that Shen lang had defeated and killed Ying Wuming spread like wildfire.
It was like a giant rock falling into a pond, but it didn’t set off any waves.
Everyone in Qianjing city was stunned. They even had a feeling that their souls had been scattered and they were doubting their lives.
How was this possible?
Prince Ying Wuming was so much stronger than Shen lang, but Shen lang won?
Was this a ghost?
Were the people of Qianjing happy with this result?
She wasn’t happy, but she wasn’t unhappy either. She just felt a myriad of complicated emotions.
What should have been an explosive effect was strangely quiet, and even the doors of every house were tightly shut.
Before the duel started, everyone thought that Shen lang would definitely die. Therefore, it was reasonable for them to avoid him like a snake. Now that Shen lang had won, they still had the same reaction.
When Shen Lang’s carriage left the dueling ground and returned to the Duke of Lin mansion under the protection of the envoy from furious tide city, there was no one on the street.
Not to mention that no one was cheering, there weren’t even any onlookers. Almost every house was closed.
Shen lang still received an unprecedented cold reception.
Perhaps the people of Qian Jing had not thought of how to face Shen lang, but they should not dream about the hero-level treatment.
One of the families was a family with a literary reputation. The grandfather was a scholar, the Father was a high scholar, and the grandson was also a scholar. Only the Father was an official outside, and he was the Chief Registrar. He had been working for twenty years without any promotion because he had no background.
In fact, the entire family was not even qualified to watch the battle between Ying Wuming and Shen lang.
When the old scholar heard that Shen lang had won and that Ying Wuming was dead, he was completely shocked. He did not react for a full 15 minutes. Then, he took out a pot of wine and sipped it quietly.
“Grandpa, what do you think?” the grandson asked. According to the decree, if Emperor Shen lang wins, he will be the only ruler of great Qian. Emperor Ying Guang will have to abdicate.”
The old scholar Grandpa took another sip of wine and said, ” when Emperor Jiang Li was still in power, Qian capital was the center of the world. It was even more popular than Yan capital. At that time, our great Qian Empire was invincible. Even if our citizens went to other countries, they would still be arrogant. Even if I, a little scholar, went to Jin country, I would still dare to scold those officials. It was really the style of a celestial country.
“Grandfather, when did you have such a glorious time?” his grandson asked.
The old scholar said, ” at that time, I went to Jin country to study. I saw a sixth-rank official who had made a wrong judgment, so I stood up for him. At first, they wanted to catch me. However, after I told them that I was a scholar of the great Qian Empire, they backed off. Even the sixth-rank official was punished by the governor. All this is because of His Majesty Jiang Li’s prestige. He can’t stand any sand in his eyes and is the most protective of his people. You don’t know that when His Majesty Jiang Li gave an order, millions of people in the entire great Qian Empire followed it. No matter what his order was, tens of millions of people cheered. no matter what he asked us to do, we would do our best. those were truly the years of passion. Even if your grandfather was a weak scholar, he would be willing to shed his blood and sacrifice his life.”
The grandson replied, ” then, grandfather, you should be happy. Emperor Shen lang won. He will become the only ruler of the great Qian Empire.
Emperor Shen lang won, and I’m very, very happy. When I heard that he was still alive, I was drunk for two days. I was extremely excited. Emperor Jiang Li finally has a successor. “But, a person’s hot blood will always turn cold,” the old scholar said.
The grandson asked,”grandfather, do you support his Majesty Shen lang to rule the great Qian Empire?” Do you support him entering Qianjing city?”
“It’s not up to us to decide on this matter. I’m just a little scholar,” the old scholar replied.
“Grandpa, we’re just saying this behind closed doors. No one will tell anyone,” scholar sun replied.
Grandpa took another sip of wine and closed his eyes for a while. When he opened them again, he shook his head and said, ” no, I don’t support Shen lang to enter Qian Jing.
Scholar Sun Zi asked,”why?” Emperor Shen lang created one miracle after another. Why don’t you support him? And he’s Emperor Jiang Li’s only son.”
“He’s too abnormal!” His grandfather said. I long for peace and don’t want any more turmoil. Emperor Ying Guang is a rebel, but he has at least given us twenty years of peace.”
After saying that, the old scholar chugged cup after cup of wine down his throat. He gritted his teeth and said,”It’s best if nothing changes. If Shen lang wins, then he wins. After that, hurry back to his rage tide city and don’t come back to Qian Jing city. Don’t even think about messing up our lives. We really don’t want to experience that disaster again.”
Then, he drank all the wine in the wine pot in one go and went to his room to sleep without saying anything.
When he was asleep, this old scholar curled up into a ball and cried in his sleep.
Emperor Jiang Li, I’m sorry. I’m sorry.
..............................
This time, Shen lang slept for 12 hours. When he woke up, he saw a rare guest. It was Pavilion master Zuo Ci of the sky-Sea Pavilion.
“What a rare guest.” “Pavilion master Zuo Ci, how have you been?” Shen lang said.
“Apart from the wind getting stronger and the weather getting drier, everything else is fine,” Zuo Ci nodded and smiled.
Shen lang had also heard that the sky-Sea Pavilion had gained a lot in the desert. However, it was not appropriate for Shen lang to ask about it if no one else wanted to.
Pavilion master Zuo Ci was not good with words. Therefore, the two of them fell into a short silence. He could congratulate Shen lang for winning the competition, but he did not say it.
“Pavilion master Zuo Ci, is there anything I can help you with?” Shen lang asked.
Pavilion master Zuo Ci said, ” Mr. Shen lang, aren’t people’s thoughts very stubborn? the more intelligent a person is, the more stubborn they are. The more they feel that they are not in the wrong? ”
Shen lang nodded and said,”Yes, that’s right.” But does Pavilion master Zuo Ci think I’m wrong? Do you think that I killed Ying Wuming wrongly, or do you think that my ideal of having no grudges under the heavens is wrong?”
Pavilion master Zuo Ci shook his head and said, ” ever since the sky-Sea Pavilion left, Emperor Shen lang has achieved glorious victories again and again. Each miracle is more shocking than the last. It’s really surprising. However, I still want to advise Emperor Shen lang to think about his path and see if it’s correct and just. Of course, the word ‘justice’ may sound a little ridiculous from my mouth.
Shen lang thought for a while and said, ” I’ve thought about it, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. There’s nothing wrong with me having no grudges against anyone. The path I’m taking can’t be more correct.
“Oh right, Pavilion master Zuo Ci, I have a question to ask,” Shen lang added.
“Please speak,” Pavilion master Zuo Ci said.
Shen lang said,”Pavilion master Zuo, is there any way to increase one’s mental energy?” For example, were there any scrolls? After cultivating for a month, his spiritual power had increased by a hundred times. Or was there any pill that could only increase one’s mental power by a hundred times? Or is there a secret realm where one’s spiritual power can increase by a hundred times after cultivating for a month?”
Pavilion master Zuo CI’s face twitched, and he resisted the urge to slap Shen lang to death.
What do you think spiritual power is? It was even harder to improve than martial arts.
However, Shen lang was really desperate for mental energy. Especially after he obtained the dragon’s heart, ancient king’s ring, and Dragon’s sword, his mind power had become extremely precious.
The energy Whirlpool he had released today was so powerful that it had killed Ying Wuming instantly. However, after releasing it once, his spiritual power would be completely consumed, leaving nothing behind. It was too bitter.
Could it be that he could only use one move forever from now on? How awkward would that be?
Of course, as the ruler of great Qian, he didn’t need to fight with people often. However, if he could often release an instant-kill move like today, wouldn’t that be very awesome?
However, there was another crucial problem.
Intercept Dragon’s regret!
After Shen Lang’s ancient king’s ring was combined with the heart of the dragon, it had a very powerful ability. It could block any ancient weapon.
Of course, this was only in theory. In reality, with Shen Lang’s mental energy, he could only stop one ancient giant arrow. He could not stop Dragon’s regret at all.
Previously, he had emphasized that Shen lang had to take one step at a time to prepare for the next round and even the round after that.
Now that the duel with Ying Wuming had ended and he had won all of them, the next step would be the final kill with Ying Guang and stupa mountain.
But after that? He would be facing the Empire of Yan directly, and the Yan capital had the ability to launch long-range strategic attacks.
Once Shen lang completely destroyed Ying Guang and stupa mountain, the Yan capital would not say anything. They would just throw a few Super Dragon’s regrets at raging tide city, and Shen lang would have nothing left.
Ying Guang and stupa mountain both had ancient interception devices that could intercept long Zhihui from a long distance. However, Shen lang didn’t have one. Moreover, almost all of his assets were in raging tide city. Once that place was razed to the ground, what would he use to defeat the Yan capital?
Currently, there were two ways to stop Dragon’s regret.
The first way was to get the ancient interception device from Qian Jing city or stupa mountain. However, that would have to be done after Ying Guang and stupa mountain were completely destroyed.
The second method was for Shen lang to obtain a strong mental energy so that he could intercept long Zhihui. Moreover, the second method wasn’t as simple as intercepting Super Dragon’s regret. He could directly seize it.
His dragon’s heart and ancient king’s ring were too powerful. When the ancient giant arrow shot over, it was fixed in the air by him. It would not explode and would fall directly.
What did Shen lang lack now? Wasn’t it just Dragon’s regret?
Once he obtained the powerful spirit energy, he would be able to intercept and seize all the arrows of Dragon’s regret from Qian Jing. This would mean that he would have a strategic deterrence against the Empire of Great Yan, and the balance would be restored.
Therefore, mental energy was extremely important to Shen lang. However, if he needed to train hard, he would forget about it. Shen lang really did not have the time. He only had a few months at most. Furthermore, with his lousy mental energy, it would be useless to increase it by one or two times. He would need to increase it by at least a few dozen times.
After a long while, Pavilion master Zuo Ci said, Your Majesty Shen lang, there are no such scrolls, secret realms, or pills.
“Is there no way to increase one’s mental energy by a hundred times?” Shen lang asked.
“No,” Pavilion master Zuo Ci replied.
“But I seem to have seen such an example before,” Shen lang said.
Which example? Of course, it was Qiu Yao ‘er. She had once been possessed by Queen Medusa’s soul, and her martial arts had become much stronger. Most importantly, her mental energy was extremely strong.
Although Ying Wuming was very strong, he was still far from being comparable to Queen Medusa.
“Emperor Shen lang, can you be more specific?” Pavilion master Zuo Ci asked.
“Can’t I take over someone’s body?” Shen lang said.
“Possession?” Pavilion master Zuo Ci asked. Do you mean to let other people’s souls take over your body? Then, would he still be Shen lang? Furthermore, no one would possess a body unless the soul no longer has a body.”
“But I’ve heard Princess Ninghan saying that she wants to change her body,” Shen lang said.
Pavilion master Zuo Ci was stunned. So you were waiting for me here? Ning Han had indeed said it a few times before.
“The situation she mentioned before is different from yours,” Pavilion master Zuo Ci said.”She needs a Blank Body without a soul, and she’s not a normal human. Your Majesty Shen lang, in your current situation, you need someone to take over your body. Then, your soul will vanish or you will be suppressed until you can’t turn over. Are you willing to lose control of this body?”
“Of course not.” Shen lang said,”Pavilion master Zuo Ci, are there such souls?” It doesn’t have a body at all, only a soul?”
“Emperor Shen lang should already have an answer, why are you still asking me?” Pavilion master Zuo Ci asked.
That’s right, Shen lang really had an answer.
He knew that there was a pure soul. It was the cursed Queen in the great devil triangle, also known as the lost witch mother. Her soul had lived for thousands of years, and she had once possessed Ahn ‘qiraj. Did she have a body? Perhaps she did, but she definitely couldn’t meet anyone. Otherwise, why didn’t she show up in the great Devil’s Triangle?
However, her situation was too special. Furthermore, the great demon triangle was her home ground, so it was too difficult to steal her spirit.
Most importantly, in Shen Lang’s plan, the Army of sea monsters in the Devil’s Triangle would be his future ally. They might be useful in the final battle with the great Yan Empire. Therefore, Shen lang was not willing to offend the cursed Empress, much less become her enemy.
Was there another powerful soul in this world? Who was he?
Great Tribulation temple’s Divine Master!
The Great Tribulation Temple used to be extremely powerful. They could do whatever they wanted in the eastern world, suppressing the Tongtian temple and the xuankong temple. They had even invaded the territories of stupa mountain and sky-Sea Pavilion.
&Nbsp; if it wasn’t for Jiang Li, the Great Tribulation Temple would have become stronger.
As the Great Tribulation Temple was good at using sorcery and liked to bewitch people, Emperor Jiang Li led the world’s daoless to destroy the Great Tribulation Temple. Now, the Great Tribulation Palace on the top of the snow Mountain had become a ruin.
&Nbsp; however, in terms of understanding the ancient civilization, the Great Tribulation Temple was really amazing.
Who was the strongest person in Great Tribulation Temple? He was a great Tribulation divine Lord!
&Nbsp; it was said that the soul of this Great Tribulation Divine Master would never be extinguished, and it would be passed down from generation to generation.
When this generation’s great Tribulation temple’s God Lord died, he would enter the ghost city ahead of time. Then, his soul would float out and be sealed within the ghost city while his body would die quietly.
&Nbsp; next, Great Tribulation Temple would search for the most talented youth in the world and send him to ghost city to let Great Tribulation God Lord’s soul enter his body.
This way, even though his body was constantly changing, the soul of the Great Tribulation temple’s God Lord would never change. It had been passed down for a thousand years.
After the people in this world died, their souls would turn into ashes. However, according to the legends, even if a person died in the ghost city, their soul would not dissipate. Instead, it would still be in a condensed state.
&Nbsp; it was also because of this that Great Tribulation Temple had become so powerful. It was all because of Great Tribulation God Lord.
&Nbsp; it was said that when Emperor Jiang Li destroyed the Great Tribulation Temple and took down the Great Tribulation Palace, the Great Tribulation divine Lord was already dead, and he wasn’t the one who killed him.
&Nbsp; thus, this great calamity God Lord’s soul might still be in ghost city, and this soul had been passed down for a thousand years, so how astonishing was its mental energy?
Of course, this was all just a legend.
Pavilion master Zuo Ci, you also participated in the battle of the great calamity Palace and even followed Jiang lishang to hunt down the great calamity divine Lord. Shen lang said, ” then, when you find Divine Master great calamity, is he already dead? ” Did that mean that his soul was still in ghost city? Did that soul of his have an extremely powerful mental strength? Then may I ask where ghost city is?”
After hearing Shen Lang’s series of questions, Pavilion master Zuo Ci looked at Shen lang in disbelief. Jian Jia was a lunatic.
He actually dared to have such an idea? Emperor Jiang Li wants to kill divine Lord Great Tribulation, but you want to steal his soul? ”
After a long while, Pavilion master Zuo Ci said,”Emperor Shen lang, first of all, the soul inheritance of a Great Tribulation Divine Master is a legend and has not been verified. &Nbsp; secondly, even if the Great Tribulation God Lord’s soul truly did exist, even if it had powerful mental energy, once you went, you would immediately be possessed and lose control of your entire body. You would never be able to rise again, as its mental energy was countless times stronger than yours. In the end, no one knew where the ghost city was. They didn’t even know if it really existed.”
Shen lang squinted his eyes and said,”really?” Pavilion master Zuo Ci, please don’t lie to me. ”
Pavilion master Zuo Ci said sternly, ” Emperor Shen lang, you have done many crazy things. However, I advise you to give up on this idea. You will really be doomed. Your soul will be destroyed.
However, Shen lang did not believe it as he had the ancient king’s ring. It could defend against all energy attacks, including soul attacks.
“Pavilion master Zuo Ci, do you really not know where ghost city is?” Shen lang asked.
“I don’t know,” “In addition, the Great Tribulation Temple is the place of the most evil in the world. The six Supreme powers will not allow it to rise from the ashes. The great Yan Empire will not either,” Pavilion master Zuo Ci added.
Shen lang laughed, ” I’m just joking. Please don’t take it seriously.
“I hope so,” “Goodbye!” Pavilion master Zuo Ci stood up.
He then left without looking back.
....................................
After the duel between Shen lang and Ying Wuming ended, Prince Lian of the great Yan Empire rode the snow Eagle back to the Yan capital and reported the news to the Crown Prince.
At this moment, the Emperor was still in seclusion. No one knew how long he would be in seclusion or what he was doing.
Shen lang really won? ” The Crown Prince of Great Yan said.
“Yes, Your Highness,” Prince Lian said, ” Your Highness, you are the most brilliant person. You said that Shen lang might win. He has indeed won.
The Crown Prince of Great Yan said, ” it’s one thing to predict it in advance. But it’s another thing to actually do it. It’s really unbelievable.
Prince Lian said, ” according to the decree, there can only be one da Qian Kingdom in the world. If Shen lang wins, he will be the only ruler of da Qian. Ying Guang will have to step down. What should we do next? ” Please tell me, Crown Prince.”
The Crown Prince did not answer immediately. Instead, he continued to play with the chess piece in his hand. He was thinking about winning against silent aspiration.
Over the years, he had dealt with Ying Wuming many times. It was really a pity that this person had died so suddenly.
This Shen lang was really strange. Ever since he rose to power, he had never been defeated, right?
The Crown Prince of the Empire of Great Yan couldn’t help but let out a long sigh before he said, ” “Since the Imperial decree has been written, then let’s do it. Let Ying Guang abdicate.”
“I’m afraid he won’t be willing,” Prince Lian said.
“Hehe,” the Crown Prince of the Empire of Great Yan replied.
Then, he directly drafted a decree: There was only one da Qian Kingdom in the world. If Shen lang won the throne of da Qian, Ying Guang would abdicate the throne.
The Imperial decree of the Empire of Great Yan’s Crown Prince was also so simple and concise, without the slightest bit of fancy flowers. Of course, he had written this decree on behalf of the Emperor. Otherwise, with his status, he would not be able to use the word ” Qin “.
“Your Highness, I know that suppressing the strong and supporting the weak can balance the world.” However, Xuanji and Shen lang are too demonic. If we continue to support them, we might bring trouble to ourselves.”
The Crown Prince of the Empire of Great Yan waved his hand and did not explain. Instead, he said,”Go and announce the decree.”
“Yes, I will do as you say,” Prince Lian kowtowed.
He simply couldn’t imagine it. Ying Guang had just lost his most valued successor, and now the Empire of Great Yan had issued a decree to force him to abdicate. This was more than adding oil to the fire.
The entire world was probably going to tremble.
The Lian Prince truly did not know what these two Supreme martial artists of the great Yan Empire were up to. He could not understand it at all.
....................................
After receiving the decree from the Crown Prince, Prince Lian flew from the Yan capital to the Qian capital without stopping. After flying for a day and two nights, he once again landed in the palace of the Qian capital.
At this moment, the entire Palace was covered in white cloth. It wasn’t because of the snow, but because of Ying Wuming’s funeral. Everyone in the palace, even everyone in Qianjing, was wearing white cloth. The entire Xin Qian Kingdom was having a great funeral.
Even the Lord of the newly established Kingdom, Ying Guang, was dressed in a white robe. It could really be considered that he had just seen his son die. The sorrow in his heart was probably beyond measure.
Ying Wuming’s coffin was placed in the main hall. Ying Guang had been guarding it, sitting on the side and not moving for several days.
At this moment, his hands were constantly touching the coffin lid as if he was caressing his son Ying Wuming’s face.
His eyes were filled with cold killing intent and determination.
A man in despair was the most terrifying, and an injured Tiger or wild beast was also the most terrifying. It should be known that Ying Guang was even more powerful than Ying Wuming.
The Lian Prince had dealt with Ying Guang many times before, so he was indeed full of fear of this little Jiang Li.
The Imperial edict in his hand was a fatal blow to Ying Guang. After a long while, the Lian Prince shouted,”His Majesty has an edict. Prince Ying shall receive it.”
Ying Guang raised his head and glanced at Prince Lian. Then, he slowly stood up, showing no intention of kneeling.
“Prince Ying Guang, please accept the decree,” Prince Lian said in a clear voice.
Ying Guang continued to stand upright, looking at the Lian Prince without moving. His posture was really frightening. If he was forced to kneel down, Ying Guang would probably turn hostile.
The Lian Prince sighed in his heart and then acted as if nothing had happened. At this point, it didn’t matter whether he knelt or not. In recent years, Ying Guang had always been so unruly, not to mention that the Crown Prince had just died.
according to the emperor’s decree, there is only one da Qian Kingdom in the world. Shen lang won the throne of da Qian and Ying Guang will abdicate the throne on the same day. That’s it!
After he finished reading, the Lian Prince’s heart was trembling. He forced a smile and said,”Prince Ying Guang, accept the decree. You can’t disobey it, right?”
..............................
At the same time, in the Lin public house in Qianjing city.
Shen lang welcomed an even rarer guest. He did not expect that this person would really come. Furthermore, he came in disguise.
Who was this person?
Stupa mountain, sect master Ren.
The dozens of people behind Shen lang surrounded him to protect him. Sect master Ren stood quietly by himself with a mocking expression.
“Emperor Shen lang, you just killed Ying Wuming. Why are you still so afraid of me?” “Since I’ve come alone, how could I possibly hurt you?” sect master Ren said.
“Sect leader Ren, what do you need?” Shen lang asked.
“Mister Shen lang, do you still mean what you said earlier?” stupa mountain’s sect leader Ren asked.
Shen lang said,”what did you say?” I’ve really said too much.”
“About our marriage, and about you marrying my daughter Qianqian, Ren Yingying,” sect master Ren said.
You actually called her Ren Yingying? This was the name that Shen lang gave his daughter.
Shen lang was overjoyed and said,”sect leader Ren, you’ve finally thought it through.” Ying Wuming is already dead. Princess Ren Yingying and I are the perfect match. Besides, I can launch Dragon’s regret, so my great Qian Empire and stupa mountain are the best combination. We can only fight against the great Yan Empire if we work together, right? Sect master Ren, this is definitely the wisest choice you’ve ever made, and you’ll never regret it. ”
Shen lang was right. If he were to join forces with stupa mountain, it would be more than one plus one.
Shen lang was intelligent, and the combination of the ancient civilization and technological civilization would soon produce many results. Stupa mountain had Dragon’s regret, a huge ancient ruin, countless ancient books, ancient equipment, the powerful hell Legion, and special Warriors.
The two sides would definitely complement each other.
“If you want to marry my daughter and become the son-in-law of stupa mountain, it’s very simple. I only have one condition!” Stupa mountain’s sect leader Ren said.
