670 Lawless And Brazen, Grave of the Affectionate Couple! (2/2)
The center: ”Here lies the grave of Ye Gu Han and Murong Xiu Xiu, husband and wife!”
Bottom right: ”This tombstone was made by Jun Mo Xie in remembrance of the deep love of the two! May the couple never part in their next life, and the lives after that, growing old together unto eternity!
Like the love birds in the sky, or the intertwining roots in the ground; heaven and earth may fall, but this love shall endure forever!
This tomb called the Grave of the Affectionate Couple was erected by Jun Mo Xie personally! Any who dares to desecrate it shall see the nine generations of their line exterminated!”
Jun Mo Xie raised his head and looked at the huge tombstone as he said with a light voice, ”Ye Gu Han, Murong Xiu Xiu, I've already fulfilled your final wish for you. No matter how difficult your life was, the two of you were still reunited in death. Since I've left my name on this stone, I will not allow anyone to disturb your rest! This is also the last thing I can do for you both!”
Jun Mo Xie stood up, and after thinking for a moment, he placed two huge stone lions before the mound. Then, numerous stone steps formed under Jun Mo Xie's feet as he descended.
A green light flashed in his right hand, then in an instant, countless pine trees and cypress trees grew out around the vast graveyard. The trees covered the entire area and the land of several tens of li was soon completely covered by a beautiful pine and cypress forest!
Ye Gu Han and Murong Xiu Xiu's tomb was surrounded in the very heart of this enchanting forest!
Turning his head to look at the tomb once again, Jun Mo Xie sighed lightly, bowed a little, and left.
The Grave of the Affectionate Couple!
Just as Jun Mo Xie had anticipated, the sudden appearance of the Grave of the Affectionate Couple had indeed caused a huge commotion in the city at dawn of the next day!
First of all, this place was still housing a grand mansion just one day ago, but in the span of one night, it had turned into a huge graveyard surrounded by a vibrant forest! Such a miraculous sight naturally roused the shock of the entire city.
Secondly, the commotion had also been because of the two names in the middle of the tombstone. Perhaps not many people knew who Ye Gu Han was, but the name Murong Xiu Xiu… was something that everyone was familiar with! Isn't that the esteemed name of the current Empress?! How did she end up being buried here? Furthermore, she was buried here in the identity of somebody else's wife? This… what was going on?
Inside the imperial palace.
The Emperor sent a stool flying with a kick in his fit of rage. Then, he fiercely swept all the items on the table onto the ground. With another roar, he kicked the table away as well. ”Men! Listen to this Emperor's command! Level that Grave of the Affectionate Couple to the ground for me instantly! I want it dug out completely no matter what! Damn that trash, Ye Gu Han! What qualifications does he have? What qualifications does he have?! Murong Xiu Xiu… you slut! Slut slut slut slut slut! AHHH!! I want the two of you to be unable to rest in peace even in death! United in death? I'll burn the corpses of you two cheap tramps, then scatter the ashes of one in the sea, and the other on the peak of a tall mountain, so that your spirits will never be able to find each other forever!”
A large consign of troops soon surged out of the imperial palace and rode through the streets to tear down the Grave of the Affectionate Couple.
This tomb was that much of a thorn in the Emperor's eyes!
Regardless, these small characters were not worthy of the Young Master Jun receiving them personally.
Of course, the ones who were waiting to welcome them were not weak either. Because they were the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer teams!
Any random soldier of this troop was at the Sky Xuan realm; with such a line up, could they possibly be weak?
One side was adamant on tearing the tomb down, while the other was hell bent on defending it. Without much ado, a huge battle began in the middle of Tian Xiang City.
The result of the fight naturally went without saying!
Even the weakest member of the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer teams were peak Earth Xuan experts. With 300 of them gathered together and formed into a battle formation, how could ordinary soldiers be a match for them?
There weren't even many peak Earth Xuan experts in the entire Tian Xiang Kingdom, not to mention Sky Xuan cultivators! Any expert with this kind of cultivation would have already left long ago to roam the martial world or to start or join a sect. Who would be so bored as to join the army?
In just a short moment, the ground was already littered with heavily injured soldiers and broken limbs! And this was with Jun Mo Xie specially stressing that they must not kill anybody. The Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer teams had been lenient in every strike, which was why there were no deaths. But even so, in just a short afternoon, close to 10, 000 soldiers had been dealt varying injuries. This could already be considered as an extremely shocking number!
Although he had lost the first round of battle, the Emperor did not lose heart. The Tian Xiang Kingdom had millions of soldiers and horses; could it be that they really couldn't flatten a tiny graveyard?
Even if the Jun Family does not listen to my commands anymore, what about the other Families? Could it be that they also wish to follow the Jun Family in rebellion? This Emperor refuses to believe it! There can't possibly be a peerless master behind every Family to act as their guardian angel like the Jun Family right?
A summon was immediately sent out for the Dugu Family to lead their soldiers out. But unexpectedly, the Emperor received news that Dugu Zong Heng had suddenly fallen ill; apparently, the old man had fallen into a deep coma and was currently still unconscious. He was so ill in fact, that he only had one breath more than a dead person. In such a situation, he was naturally unable to lead his soldiers…
Furthermore, it wasn't just the old man Dugu Zong Heng that was bedridden. Even the great general Dugu Wu Di had fallen ill as well. Although he was not ill to the point of death like his father, he was suddenly wrecked with a severe bout of vomiting and diarrhea, and was similarly unable to leave his bed. As for riding out to battle, that was even more impossible.
As for the seven brothers 'Heroes and Legends Bravely Rushing Forward', they had all fallen off their horses and broken their legs at the same time. According to the report, the seven brothers had went out for a horse racing competition together and because of an accident, the horse at the front fell over, and the other horses behind all tripped over it in a huge pileup. None of the seven brothers managed to escape breaking their legs. Although these accounts sounded extremely ludicrous, it was truly not an impossible matter. In any case, it was definitely impossible for them to ride a horse again in the short term…Fengdu County is known to most Chinese as the 'Ghost City'. Having nearly two thousand years of history, the Ghost City combines the cultures of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism with the mystique of ghosts.
