Chapter 714 Outsiders (1/2)

When the silhouettes appeared above the capital city, a powerful Genesis Qi pressure shrouded the area, causing the entire city to tremble.

Countless people looked at the figures in horror, their scalps turning numb when they saw the Divine dwelling halos behind them.

A Divine Dwelling expert was an almighty existence in the Cangmang Continent and there were currently over twenty of them present. The combined power could easily destroy a country.

“Why did so many Divine Dwelling experts appear?!”

“Could they have come to avenge the Great Wu Empire?”

“If that's the case, the Great Zhou Empire will be in grave danger!”

“......”

Numerous shocked whispers spread. The Great Wu Empire had recently been taken over by the Great Zhou Empire, and the citizens’ hearts were still a little uncertain. There were still some loyal Great Wu supporters who did not dare to openly rebel against the Great Zhou Empire directly. With the arrival of these Divine Dwelling experts, the Great Wu loyalists would happily entertain the delusion that they were here to avenge the Great Wu Empire.

After all, didn’t the royal prince Wu Huang have a rather high status in the Sacred Palace?

In front of the palace.

Zhou Qing led a group of generals out of the palace. Their expressions could not help but change when they saw the numerous figures hovering in the air.

The oppressive pressure given off by a large group of Divine Dwelling experts was clearly quite terrifying.

“Why have these Divine Dwelling experts come here?” Wei Canglan turned to Zhou Qing with a frightened face.

The other generals’ faces were also crossed with worry. They knew that the Great Zhou Empire was not capable of withstanding the might of a dozen Divine Dwelling experts.

“I've heard that a lot of unfamiliar experts have arrived in the Cangmang Continent recently.”

Zhou Qing’s face grew solemn. “But they are most likely not here for the Great Wu Empire. A mere Great Wu Empire does not have such influence.”

However, it still never a good thing for a pack of wolves to come to the gra.s.sland where a flock of sheep lived.

The Great Zhou Empire had recently taken over the Great Wu Empire, and the citizens’ hearts were still undecided. If some outsider Divine Dwelling experts were allowed to trample over the Great Zhou Empire, it would be even more difficult to win the hearts of the people in the future.

With these thoughts racing through his mind, Zhou Qing stepped forward and cupped his fists together. “I am the king of Great Zhou, Zhou Qing. The Great Zhou Empire is honored to have so many experts grace us with your presence. If you don’t mind, please step aside and allow us to do our duty as the host.”

A tall, thin man stood at the front of the group. He grinned at Zhou Qing and said, “King Zhou, we are from the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion of the Shengzhou Continent and I am Gu Zong. Forget about your duties as host, the reason we’ve come so far is to ask for a few Divine Dwelling Medicines. Please do not make things difficult.”

Zhou Qing explained, “You may not know but the Great Zhou Empire has finished a war. We may have some ordinary medicines but we really don’t have any Divine Dwelling Medicines.”

The tall, thin man named Gu Zong did not respond as he narrowed his eyes while the corners of his mouth curved upwards in a cold smile. He thrust his palm, sending out a torrent of raging Genesis Qi that instantly destroyed the palace behind Zhou Qing.

The other Divine Dwelling experts roared with laughter.

There were also many previously Great Wu officials present in addition to the Great Zhou generals. Their eyes flickered in thought when they witnessed this scene.

The palace was not the only thing that had been destroyed by that strike, but also the presence the Great Zhou Empire had recently built up in the former Great Wu Empire.

Having smashed the palace, Gu Zong nonchalantly said, “Think again before you answer. We pa.s.sed by another empire on our way here but the king there was incapable of understanding what was good for him. In the end the empire was left without their king.”

Zhou Qing's face darkened. The other party had clearly destroyed the palace to humiliate him and spoke in an obviously threatening tone of voice.
