Chapter 1077 - Lubu Fengjie (2/2)

How did this happen? Didn’t they say that although Jiuchi Palace had many troops, the troops from the three factions and the imperial army had the confidence to easily win?

Even if Zong Shou was fortunate enough to escape, they would be able to gain large amounts of grain to support the southern battlefield.

How did they lose? How did the entire army get crushed?

Speaking of which, those four hundred thousand Dao Soldiers were all gone?

NO! The Taoist Faction Purple Qilin’s Flame Spear Cavalry, The Demon Sect’s Heaven Demon Cavalry, and the Yuanshi Demon Spirit’s Cavalry, how strong were they?

Even if they lost, they would’ve been able to escape! Zong Shou was faking the news to calm the people down.

“Zong Shou must be faking it to calm the Donglin people down! This ignorant ruler is already about to die and tried this kind of…”

Yuting didn’t say a word. Wang Wei gritted his teeth and spoke up on behalf of him.

“The Great Shang’s eight hundred thousand elites, with four hundred thousand Dao Soldiers could fight four million troops. How is it something that he could easily swallow?”

“That’s right! The news written in the talisman is a little too exaggerated!”

Everyone exchanged glances with one another and then shook their heads. However, they weren’t as relaxed as before.

In just a short moment, a loud explosion happened outside as people cheered out.

Since everyone present had practiced even a tiny bit of cultivation, they could still hear the talisman hundreds of feet away.

“The Great Gan won! We really won! We wiped out the Great Shang elites and only ten thousand demon cavalry escaped! Eight hundred thousand troops nearly all wiped out.”

“Ruler built the Jiuchi Palace not to enjoy, but to bait the enemy! To sweep up all the Great Shang’s Dao Soldiers!”

“I told you that the ruler couldn’t be that preposterous.”

“Is it true? Looking at what is written in the talisman, it is really tough to tell.”

“It came from the Country Protecting Duke. I heard that after he heard this, he laughed out loud, took ten jugs of wine, and invited all his friends over for a drink!”

“There is news from Vast Country Duke! He also said that the Great Gan won and is entering the mid plains!”

“From today onwards, the Great Gan would be the head of the Cloud World!”

“My news came from the Hanshan Sect dojo. All of the Sword Sect dojos sent a notification to open their mountains and sects to recruit disciples!”

“The Common People’s Path College is also preparing to expand and accept students…”

Many discussions spread into the ears of the people, causing the atmosphere of the place to become increasingly more solemn.

If the Great Gan was the only one spreading this news, then it might’ve been false. However, along with Sword Sect and Common People’s Path…

They all exchanged glances with one another, only to see ashen-white faces and fear in each other’s eyes. They were all terrified.

Was the news really correct?

“Not only that! I heard that when the ruler fought the enemy, he had a Fire Qilin by his side! The energy surged into the heavens with a dragon roaring and phoenix chirping.”

“A Qilin accompanied him? And a dragon roared alongside a phoenix chirp? Legend has it that only the three emperors had…”

“The people in the Common People’s Path also said that it is a sign of Saint King! Ruler is the true Saint Ruler!”

When they heard that, Yuting’s expression calmed down. He shook his head. “Amusing! What Qilin? What Saint King? Even if they want to falsify things, they didn’t need to make it so exaggerated.”

One of them holding a paper crane had his face turn green and white, blood seeped out from the corner of his lips.

Yuting frowned and asked curiously, “Brother Li, what’s up?”

The person raised his head and looked with a deathly expression at everyone present.

“This is a message talisman from my master. He participated in the Space Locking Formation and personally witnessed the battle. All troops from the three factions were wiped out. The Great Shang Army was crushed! Ruler had a Qilin and the Saint King’s Energy around him, he was protected by the heavens. Not only is he not an ignorant ruler and the enemy of the Confucians, he is also the Saint King! Zhu Zhi made a mistake, he is the sinner of our Confucian Faction…”

His heart nearly stopped beating. The people in the room nearly turned to stone.

“Shut up, you dare to slander the saint…”

This sentence was stuck at his throat, he was unable to say it out loud.

The master of that person was just a slightly famous Confucian scholar, what gave him the courage to question the ancient Saint?
