Chapter 473 Shen Lian Left the Mountain (1/2)

The black tiger was fortunate to escape this disaster but the people of Da Xi were not as lucky. As they prepared to cross the Luo River, the ground started to shake, causing the river course to open and yellow water started pouring in.

The troopers that were ahead could not escape the waters. But as the earth trembled, the tigers and leopards panicked and had caused a stampede that took the lives of many troopers.

The dark clouds up in the sky converged, sending thunderous sound down. The wind and clouds changed their colours as lightning came striking down from the tip of the clouds.

The Da Xi troops looked insignificant in front of the prestige of the heaven.

The Monarch of Da Xi trembled to the prestige of the heaven. It was extremely chaotic and he had to be protected by his personal guards. But as all hell broke loose, the yellow water emerged through the cracks on the ground to engulf the lives of many more troopers.

The upheaval of the beast turned the situation from bad to worse. The disaster happened so suddenly that the Monarch had no time to prepare at all.

He brought the elite warriors of Da Xi for this very battle. If God gave him another chance, he would do otherwise. However, he was not capable of turning back time.

The thunders were striking, heavy rain pouring, it was pitch black. The entourage of the Monarch's personal guards was getting smaller and smaller and everything under his feet felt muddy. Not far away, a lightning struck down and the Monarch could smell the odor of charred human flesh.

Under such weather conditions, Liu Mende could not cast any spells. He was like a lonely lamp that lit up in this stormy night and shined on the sacrificed troopers. The high ranking generals were no different from these ordinary troopers. They were like ants who shivered when disaster struck, they were either struggling to survive or were dead.

Liu Mengde had finally found the Monarch. The confused Monarch was sitting on a small earthbag. The earthbag was filled with his most loyal personal guards.

刘梦得的一点火光照醒了他,大雨噼里啪啦落在他身上,在他清醒时给他最严厉的鞭挞.

The Monarch said, ”How could this be?”

Liu Mengde sighed, ”This is a trial of the heaven. Monarch, please leave with me.”

”Leave? Where do we go?” The Monarch answered emotionlessly.

”Let's go to a place where you can get some rest.” Liu Mengde answered gently. His voice penetrated the wind and rain and landed in the ears of the Monarch.

”When I close my eyes, all I see are their souls. How can I sleep? The state of Da Xi started off with only ten miles of land and we now have thousands of miles of territory. So much blood and tears went into it during the expansion. But tonight, those blood and tears were drowned in the flood. Where else can I go to? National advisor, tell me, is this disaster coincidental? Or was it the intentional work of the son of Master of Xi Liang?” The Monarch needed to clear his doubt or else he would not be able to rest in peace.

Liu Mengde responded, ”I am not sure.”

The Monarch said, ”You have to take me to see him. I need to know the answer.”

Liu Mengde gazed intensely at the Monarch and said, ”Come with me.”

He wielded the sleeves of his robe and a group of clear light transformed the Monarch and him into a fire wire and headed towards Mount Jieyang.

It was already morning by the time they arrived at Mount Jieyang. It was quiet and peaceful with barely any people.

The first morning sun came through the clouds and shined on the dew on the plants. It was a beautiful sight.
