319 Retribution (1/2)
”The emperor decrees, ”As the emperor, all lands are mine and everyone is under me! As spirits, you should respect the dragon energy! Hence, I specially command both of you, Qi Lake Dragon God and Golden Court Dragon God, to immediately assist Xuan Zhen Sect to banish the evil gods' temples!”
The head of Xuan Zhen Sect looked at Fang Yuan and read the imperial decree out loud. He raised the decree and smirked at Fang Yuan, ”So how... are you going to oppose the decree?”
”He thinks I am a tool? He wants me to clear the evil gods and the demons but doesn't provide any returns for me? Furthermore, he wants me to submit under Xuan Zhen Sect, does he thinks I am a fool?” Fang Yuan thought.
Fang Yuan could not contain his laughter after hearing such and guffawed out loud.
”How dare you disobey the imperial decree! Die!”
Xuan Zhen and his daoists immediately hollered.
”Roar!”
The roar of a dragon could be vaguely heard. Streaks of green and violet energy gathered in the imperial decree and formed the shape of a golden green dragon. Its might was daunting.
It was the people dao true dragon energy, it could overpower all kinds of power!
Such an energy even made Fang Yuan's god dao divine light dimmed a little.
”Cast arrays!”
Xuan Zhen and his daoists were allowed to cast their arrays as the ban was lifted. Their power was uninhibited and they formed an array surrounding Fang Yuan, trapping him inside.
”Humans will rise as per the heavenly trend while demons will fall! Demon, you shall be suppressed!”
The elderly daoist was very solemn. He then loudly chanted, ”The 33rd head of Xuan Zhen Sect invites the fate energy of our rare treasures and ancestors to assist!”
”Woong, woooong!”
After a flash of black light, a small stone pagoda appeared on his right palm.
The pagoda had seven layers, it was carved from black stones and delicately designed. Each side of the pagoda shined mysteriously and was inscribed with runes. It could suppress fate energy!
”Demon Suppressing Pagoda?”
Fang Yuan drooped his eyelids, ”You all have even brought out this item! Aren't you all afraid your sect's foundation will be damaged and your sect will then perish?”
That item was Xuan Zhen Sect's secret weapon, it was a rare treasure that could suppress fate energy!
The moment they brought out this item, it meant that they were willing to use their all for Fang Yuan to die.
”We are boosted by the dragon energy and the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, which are also complemented by the 4 Emblems Spirit Locking Array! Whereas, you have gone against the orders and lost your crustacean army, you have no chance of defeating us!”
The Divine Predictor Elder sneered, ”Isolate! Seal off! Start!”
Xuan Zhen immediately threw the Demon Suppressing Pagoda.
The Demon Suppressing Pagoda magnified when it reached the peak of the array. It radiated brightly from all sides, streaks of light formed into chains and entered the array as it went for Fang Yuan.
”Oh!”
Fang Yuan's body quivered for a moment. Inside the array, he felt his energy from Qi Lake was isolated away.
The dragon energy suppressed his divine position, the Demon Suppressing Pagoda targeted its body, while the 4 Emblems Spirit Locking Array sealed off his heavenly energy and energy from Qi Lake!
”Should I inflict retribution?”
Fang Yuan mumbled to himself; he had a greater understanding of fate energy.
People dao were strong on their own and self-reliant, whatever Fang Yuan did previously was a form of support! However, once he crossed a threshold, he would immediately be attacked!
Of course, such a predicament was also due to Xu Ting's character and Xuan Zhen Sect's influence. However, these were already trifle reasons.
Nevertheless, as he kept to the baseline and planned beforehand, he would not suffer great losses! He might even survive!
”But... how can I make this the way I want it to be!” Fang Yuan thought.
With such a thought, his gaze turned piercingly cold, ”I will not use this opportunity to save my life, I will fully use it to inflict retribution! Anyway, my main reason for coming to this realm this time was to reap as much as I can, why should I care about what happens afterwards!”
”Quickly!”
Although the Divine Predictor Elder and the head of Xuan Zhen Sect did not know what the Dragon God was thinking of, they felt uneasy and hollered to hurry up.
”Haha... it's too late!”
Fang Yuan's eyes burnt like fire and green energy from his head formed into a beam of clear light, causing the array to falter as the beam seeped out. He sent a command through it, ”Fate energy, return! Quick!”
”Kaboom!”
Suddenly, the sky darkened. Lightning flashed and thunder roared!
...
Xinfeng Prefecture.
Xinfeng Prefecture was Baili Xuandu's hometown. At that moment, Xu Ting's 10,000-strong army stormed into the prefecture. Numerous district towns surrendered before the battle even started, their power was fearsome.
Inside a tent at the military camp.
”Your Majesty, two more districts have surrendered to us!”
”Your Majesty, numerous generals in Xinfeng Army have secretly contacted me! They are willing to surrender!
...
Good news kept coming up continuously, however, that was normal as Wu Country held the biggest power.
As Baili Xuan still stubbornly held on to six remote prefectures, he slowly lost his followers.
”Great! With this two prefectures conquered, the capital of Xinfeng Prefecture would be a piece of cake!”
Xu Ting was overjoyed.
The capital was Baili Xuandu's nucleus area, the moment it was conquered, Baili Xuandu would have no chance of rising back to power.
”Pass down my command... reward the whole army with meat! With the soldiers full, our strength is even greater and we will annihilate Xinfeng army!”
”Very wise, your Majesty!”
The officials below greatly respected Xu Ting and were elated, they worshipped him at once.
”Kill them!”
