Chapter 298 Fallen Leaf Continent in chaos (1/2)
Fallen Leaf continent.
It's been three months and a half since Mo Xie had gone missing.
Right now, the whole continent had been turned upside down.
Every kingdom had its citizen's experts escaped and made their way to the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire's territory.
The Lang Ya Great Kingdom became a tragedy that other people couldn't believe. All of its experts fought to the very end, not believing that the Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom will be able to destroy them.
Lang Ya Great Kingdom is a few times stronger than Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom in terms of both resources and martial experts.
Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom's invasion came as a sudden unexpected event, which made the Lang Ya Great Kingdom think that they were merely caught off guard and lost a few cities and villages in the process.
But when the Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom's army made it all the way to the capital of the Lang Ya Great Kingdom. Something more unexpected occurred.
Many Immortal Foundation ranked experts appeared and made the capital of the Lang Ya Great Kingdom to waste.
This piece of news caused the other kingdoms to tremble in shock and fear, Zhong Zi Imperial State was in the middle of being conquered. Hearing the news, the royalty immediately gave up and surrendered.
But that should've been the end of it, or so everyone thought.
The Zhong Zi Imperial State met an end more gruesome than any person could've imagined.
The experts and the royal family of the Zhong Zi Imperial State surrendered and gathered in the capital, and immediately, they were all executed without any second thought.
Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom's mercy that day was nonexistent. Together with the experts, all the young and old children were killed with no exemptions.
With the examples of the Lang Ya Great Kingdom and Zhong Zi Imperial State, there became only two options, one to escape, and the other, to die trying.
The Divine Crane Kingdom didn't even need to consider, they were the next target. They don't even have any Immortal Foundation ranked experts to defend, what can they do?
Only the 1st rate Kingdoms stood a chance, but the sheer number of experts on the Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom's side is too great, comparable to the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire's numbers.
All of the lower kingdoms started to evacuate, they will be seeking asylum at the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire, but then, another turn of event occurred... the 1st rate Kingdoms; the Azure Imperial Kingdom and the Solar Blaze Kingdom met them with great force.
The two Kingdoms were busy settling matters because they were busy settling their own territory's problems. But when it finished, they immediately made a gate to 'welcome' the refugees. Immediately as they arrived, the experts were slaughter, both factioned groups, and wandering cultivators alike.
It was supposed to be their first step to an asylum yet, it became another hell.
The three first-rate kingdoms are the only path towards the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire, they all felt like a cornered mouse, what can they possibly do? They can't return and face annihilation from the Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom, but they can also not proceed anymore.
Who knows how which Kingdom to trust anymore, they even suspect that the mass-murdering is part of the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire's schemes.
When they all thought that all safe, the Azure Imperial Kingdom's expert appeared again, chasing after their lives.
”Not good, where do we go now?!”
”Those brave people that bought us time all died already?! No, we're next to die...”
”If that's the case, I will stay here now to buy time for others to escape!”
”No, but... if we do that and we get killed again, our numbers will decrease further, we should just fight it out!”
”If there's a chance for our loved ones to survive, then, I will take it.”
Everyone hearing this felt inspired, they nod their heads: ”Then, we die for the people we care.”
They were numbering more than five million, their group was large at first, comprised of combined experts from other kingdoms with a great number of thirty million. They first encountered the Azure Imperial Kingdom.
They thought that it was a group of a hundred thousand experts to welcome them and to secure their group, but never they had known that it's a group to slaughter them.
These hundred thousand experts are composed of two hundred Immortal Foundation ranked experts, and a combination of both Heaven Encompassing and Sky Shattering ranked experts.
One needs to take note that the Fallen Leaf Continent's human race only has a little over two hundred Immortal Foundation rank with it within the midst of the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire and the three first-rate Kingdoms.
They were immediately destroyed with half of their numbers dying while the others escaped. But the enemies continued with the chase with a single goal in mind, to obliterate every expert of the Human Race that's not on their side.
When the people going to be left behind were decided, those that were meant to escape were all young children and women. They bid their farewells with tears on their eyes.
