Chapter 1381 Great Zhou City (1/2)

Great Zhou City.

The present Great Zhou City was no longer the same as it was in the past. The grand city was built along the great river and its towering walls extended across both sides with no end in sight. The buildings in the city were like a dense forest.

The Great Zhou Empire had grown more and more prosperous with each day with the Cangxuan Sect’s support and had become the strongest empire in the Cangmang Continent. Hundreds of empires would come to the Great Zhou Empire every year to pay respect.

It was just that the Great Zhou City was completely closed-off during that period and a huge boundary was operating within the city, forming a light barrier that fully covered the entire city. The waves of Genesis Qi released from the light barrier made even Nascent Source experts gleam covetously.

This was because the boundary was personally created by sect master Qing Yang of the Cangxuan Sect and accumulated the powers of all the Cangxuan Sect’s peak masters. It perhaps couldn’t be compared to the defense boundary of the sacred sects in terms of defense power, but it could be considered an absolute top defense in the entire Cangmang Continent.

Of course, there were exceptions to everything. The boundary might not survive the calamity that the Great Zhou Empire was facing.

On the city wall of the Great Zhou City.

Countless soldiers stood clasping their halberds and wearing uneasy expressions.

They cast their gazes outside the boundary’s light barrier that enveloped the city, only to see dark clouds scudding across, lightning flashing, thunder rumbling and terrifying Genesis Qi stirring the heaven and earth to the point they were quaking.

It was like a disaster that could destroy the world was imminent.

Boom!

Torrents of berserk Genesis Qi occasionally roared out from the layers of dark clouds and, wrapped in bolts of lightning, bombarded the boundary outside the city.

Under that bombardment, even the boundary light barrier rippled violently, and as each ripple widened out, countless people in the city trembled in fear and their faces became deathly pale. They all understood that the Great Zhou City would face destruction once the boundary was destroyed.

But what choice did they have in a battle of such a level. Even if they wanted to surrender, the people outside the city likely wouldn’t glance at them. After all, in their eyes, their lives were worthless like weed.

Therefore, they could only pray that the boundary light barrier protecting Great Zhou City could withstand the opponent's attack.

While the citizens in the city were praying, the core members of the Great Zhou Empire were gathered on the center of the city walls with worried frowns as they stared at the figures, who were emitting berserk Genesis Qi, looming in the dark clouds.

“The Sacred Palace is regarded as one of the six sacred sects in Cangxuan Heaven and has such a high status, but it suppressed an empire in such a way!” A middle-aged man in black armor fumed. His eyes were filled with anger and panic as he peered at the outside of the city.

If Zhou Yuan was here, he would recognize the armoured-man was the Black Venom King, the Blackwater lord he subdued in Blackwater when he left the Great Zhou City for the first time.

The Black Venom King had reached the advanced Divine Dwelling stage in recent years through the relationship between the Great Zhou Empire and the Cangxuan Sect. He had become well known in the Great Zhou Empire and was much stronger than when he was an overlord in Blackwater.

“Commander, don't talk nonsense. The Sacred Palace wouldn’t care about what an empire like ours thinks.” A calm voice sounded next to him. It was an armored-clad middle-aged man with hints of white hair. Next to him stood a boy and girl. The girl was dressed in armor, making her appear slender and tall. She seemed very capable, but the boy next to her seemed somewhat weak. However, the rays of light shining between his brows indicated that he was skilled in Spirit cultivation.

The Black Venom King shot an annoyed glance at him and snorted. Although he had considerable military credits from fighting for the Great Zhou Empire over the years, he still couldn’t be compared to the great general Wei Canglan in terms of seniority or military service.

The young man and young woman beside Wei Canglan were of course his daughter Wei Qingqing and his son Wei Bin.

“General, the scene before us reminds me of Broken Dragon City more than ten years ago…” A mighty voice sounded from the front of the crowd.

Wei Canglan turned his head around and saw a middle-aged man in battle armor with a bright smile. Beside him stood an elegant woman in palace clothes.

It was King Zhou Qing and Queen Qin Yu of the Great Zhou Empire.

The two had changed a little compared to more than ten years ago, but they still had the same remarkable bearing, particularly Zhou Qing. He exuded an imposing aura, which was brought about by the prosperity of the Great Zhou Empire in the past few years.
