Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Mountain Range of a Thousand Beasts_1

[Choice One: Continue with the scheduled Imperial Dynasty Grand Hunt and earn one hundred Destiny Points.] [Choice Two: Cancel the Imperial Dynasty Grand Hunt, focus on the developmt of the Divine Martial Army, and earn one hundred Destiny Points.] Chu Yuan contemplated both divine choices, knowing that each decision would lead to differt subsequt evts. The Divine Martial Army had already obtained almost all the elixirs it could train with; what followed next would be up to the passage of time. "Eunuch Wei, issue a decree. We will hold the Imperial Dynasty Grand Hunt in half a month." Chu Yuan gave the order. "Yes, Your Majesty. The Imperial City's Grand Hunt is a longstanding tradition of Dawu, dating from the reign of the previous emperor. It is held annually in September. Its objective is to courage the spirit of martial arts amongst the officials and remind them that Dawu was founded amidst ruins." Eunuch Wei nodded, "This old servant will issue the imperial decree immediately." "Ding! The host made Choice One, earning one hundred Destiny Points." With half a month remaining until the Imperial Dynasty Grand Hunt, Chu Yuan decided not to involve himself in other affairs. As the developmt of the Divine Martial Army was on track and being managed by Lu Qianfu, he felt reassured. And so, the half-month period passed in a flash, and the day of the Imperial Dynasty Grand Hunt arrived in no time. The Divine Martial Drill Gs. At that very momt, an army of thirty thousand people stood neatly on the vast drill gs. A cursory glance revealed a mass of soldiers, their combined aura soaring to the heavs, intse and overpowering, deterring all sorts of evil spirits and creatures. After a few months of training under Lu Qianfu, this group of warriors was no longer a chaotic army but had morphed into a well-disciplined force. With such an army, was there anything to fear in conquering the world? "Long live the Emperor!" Just as Chu Yuan was lost in thought, the thirty thousand soldiers kneeled down in unison. Each one of them, clad in armor, produced a loud bang upon kneeling, producing a biting noise rather than a clamor, which exuded an air of solemnity that was oddly pleasing. This was differt from the army Chu Yuan knew before crossing over. Each member of the Divine Martial Army was a master of martial arts. In the past, such warriors were se as heavly beings, effortlessly traversing the skies and earth. But now, they were all mere parts of a whole. "Your Majesty, thirty thousand members of the Divine Martial Army stand before you, awaiting your inspection." Clothed in a dark-gold armor, Lu Qianfu strode over and sought Chu Yuan's approval. "Set off for the Wildlife Mountain Range!" Chu Yuan ordered, and the massive army of thirty thousand commced its march. The Wildlife Mountain Range! The palm of Shangguan Qingyun clched fiercely, veins burst out, Huang Yong's words were akin to tearing op the wound in his heart again, Yang Family's trading company was his subordinate which was directly eradicated by Chu Yuan with a decisive method. Furthermore, his three thousand personal guards were also all executed one by one, making the several decades of his effort perish like the eastward flowing water. "Stay calm." Li Yun shook his head, "Our currt Emperor is not simple." "I know." Shangguan Qingyun, also a wise and expericed man, his connection with Yang Family's company was investigated but no evidce against him was found, said coldly: "Wh the time comes for Dawu to be vanquished, I want to keep this Huang Yong, I want to tormt him mercilessly, preserve his soul without death, make him watch his bloody skeleton day and night, neither being able to live nor die as he wishes!" "Haha, commander-in-chief, Prime Minister." At this time, a young man who appears to be in his twties approached, although young, the level of Divine Abilities he revealed had already reached the terrifying sevth level, capable of leading ts of thousands of troops. "Little Prince, Wei Sh." Shangguan Qingyun and Li Yun addressed the man. Indeed, this man was Wei Sh, the eldest son of King Wei. However, since the founding of Dawu, he had be living in the Imperial City, like a hostage left behind, but also able to provide intel for King Wei. Wei Sh laughed, "You two are the pillars of our great Dawu, my father oft talks about you two, he asked me to bring a message, wh you two have time, why not visit Wei Wu county, and reminisce with my father, discuss important matters of the court, my father has not se you two for a long time." "How is King Wei's health now?" Li Yun asked, changing the topic with a smile. "My father is in great health, I heard that my father has already glimpsed a sliver of divine power, reached half-step to Godhood, he wrote to me, asking me to stay well in the Imperial City, not to worry about other matters." As Wei Sh said this, the expressions of Shangguan Qingyun and Li Yun changed, "Half-step to Godhood!" They knew, King Wei was a person from hundreds of years ago, having expericed the chaos of dozs of dynasties, although he had never founded a kingdom, managed to survive till now and was feoffed as a king during the Dawu Dynasty, it was ough to explain his terrible strgth. Now that he reached half-step to Godhood, that was a power surpassing the tth level of Divine Abilities, ev if the two of them joined hands, they were no match for King Wei. "Since King Wei has invited us, the commander-in-chief and I naturally have to go and visit." Li Yun agreed. Now the world is in great chaos, all four kingdoms want to destroy Dawu, to feast on the meat and soup. They knew that without the previous Emperor's suppression, solely relying on the newly ascded little Emperor couldn't turn the tide. The efforts he made were just in vain, in the face of absolute power, struggling was useless, they could only follow the will of heav. Just as Shangguan Qingyun and Li Yun's minds were filled with thoughts, a voice came first from the distant horizon. "His Majesty arrives!"
