Chapter 607: Chapter 608 Savior [Second Update, Please Subscribe]

The news that Si’er had chosen not to return to King Xiuyuan’s side caused an uproar within the royal city. The common folk all thought Princess Si’er was being foolish. By her father’s side was the safest place to be. Why would she choose to stay with an outsider? They found her decision utterly irrational.

「」

At that moment, King Xiuyuan was in the royal city square, mustering his generals. But just as he finished, a sound of something Breaking the Void tore through the sky above. In the next instant, everyone in the capital of Xiuyuan Country was staring upward, paralyzed with mortal terror.

Soaring in the sky were countless warhawk riders with soldiers from Qin Country on their backs. Ye Qingxian was at their head, flanked by Ling Han and War God Ye. The sky was thick with them, a suffocating presence hanging over the city. What does this mean? Has the Qin army already broken through our borders and smashed its way to the royal city in such a short time? How is this possible? The citizens could hardly believe their eyes.

King Xiuyuan was just as stunned. He had planned to muster his generals and rush to the border to confront the Qin forces, but he never expected them to simply appear before him. Without a doubt, the cities along their path had already fallen. Otherwise, they would have been intercepted. In a single night, the army of Qin Country had advanced from beyond the border directly to the capital. Heavens! Were their forces truly so prepared for war? How can we possibly fight this?

Ye Qingxian might be a woman, but the King of Qin knew of her extraordinary abilities, which was why he had entrusted her with full military authority.

"People of Xiuyuan Country, I imagine many of you recognize me by now," Ye Qingxian said, her voice indifferent and chilling, like that of a being of pure ice and snow. "I am Princess Ye Qingxian of Qin Country. I have come for the lands of your nation."

Her voice was strangely melodious, yet it carried clearly to the ears of every person in the royal city. Behind her, the manifestation of a Tongxuan Realm vision appeared: Stars Falling Through the Nine Heavens! Though it was broad daylight, everyone could see stars plummeting from the sky behind her. This was no ordinary vision, and it sent an involuntary shudder through the people below. It was unimaginable that someone so young could possess such profound cultivation. No one could even guess what realm she had reached.

"Before deciding whether to attack you, I thought I would pay your kingdom a visit first," she continued. "Your king’s ascension was illegitimate. Your queen is cruel, ruthless, and a harlot. Your precious prince is equally deceitful. It’s safe to say your country is already rotten from the inside out. Rather than let it decay completely, it would be better to become part of my Qin Country."

She fixed her gaze on the king below. "King Xiuyuan, you believe that coming out of seclusion will allow you to save your people. But let me tell you... you are no match for me."

Ye Qingxian spoke with absolute confidence. Her talent for martial practice had been astonishing since childhood. The first time she ever trained, she had the strangest feeling. Have I practiced this before? On nights of the full moon, scripture would flood her mind. It was the Wind and Cloud Overbearing Scripture. With this scripture, Ye Qingxian was invincible.

"Now, I will give you all one chance. Surrender, and you will live."

"Resist, and you will die."

As her words fell, the citizens of the royal city wavered, unsure of what to do. Within the city walls, King Xiuyuan gave Elder Ming a pointed look. Understanding the command, Elder Ming stepped forward and shouted, "Everyone, remember the King’s words! If our land falls into their hands, the men will become slaves and the women will become prostitutes! If we fight to the death, we still have a chance at survival!"

High above, standing on her warhawk, Ye Qingxian laughed. "Why would I commit such atrocities? Judging a noble heart by your own petty standards... How laughable. King Xiuyuan, you covet the throne and demand your people die for you. Have you no conscience?"

Her words were like knives, and an embarrassed flush crept across King Xiuyuan’s face. Elder Ming, however, remained steadfast in his loyalty. "Do not speak ill of my king!" he shouted defiantly. "Our king is the only savior of Xiuyuan Country! With him here, your ambitions are nothing but a foolish fantasy."

A cold smile touched Ye Qingxian’s rose-red lips as her jade-like palm moved slightly.

The onlookers stared, dumbfounded, most petrified with shock. They were stunned to their very core. Elder Ming was right next to the king, yet King Xiuyuan couldn’t save him? Didn’t Elder Ming say the king was our only savior? Why couldn’t he save him? The commoners and ministers began to panic. Are we truly doomed? A collective sigh of despair swept through the crowd as the citizens of the royal city trembled, their faces ashen.

"What a joke!" King Xiuyuan bellowed, knowing he could wait no longer. If he didn’t act now, his army would scatter and all morale would be lost. At that point, not even a sliver of hope would remain. He shot into the sky, heading straight for Ye Qingxian. He still understood the principle of striking the leader to cripple the army, and he refused to believe this young woman could be stronger than him. As for Elder Ming’s death? It must have been some kind of preemptive, hidden attack.
