Chapter 219: Extinguishing the Canglan Kingdom

"Hush—"

Zongyan quickly gestured for Yang Lan to be quiet. Now, Yexuan was like a mouse crossing the street. If the news reached Qin Jun's ears, it would not be good.

The news of Yexuan turning into a demon had already spread back to the Yanqing Sect, enraging them. Although the news was suppressed, Yexuan had already been removed from the Yanqing Sect's list of disciples.

The matter had caused such a stir that the Yanqing Sect didn't even need to investigate. Their spies planted in the Southern Zhuo Dynasty had already sent word back.

Mourong Xuan's eyes flickered, subconsciously glancing at Qin Jun and the others on the chariot, but quickly looked away.

After this little incident, the atmosphere among the three became somewhat eerie, and they no longer continued their conversation.

Soon, the chariot passed through the Qing Bronze Pass. It took nearly half an hour for the entire army to leave the pass, leaving the remaining soldiers gazing at their departing figures with complex emotions.

"Alas, I wonder if it's right or wrong."

"Actually, I also want to be with Qin Jun, but he is, after all, the enemy of our Southern Zhuo Dynasty..."

"Stop thinking about it. Qin Jun has disrupted the plans of the Demon Sect and won't live long!"

"Can't you speak properly? Why did Qin Jun offend the Demon Sect? Isn't it because he saved us!"

"That's right, compared to the court, Qin Jun has only shown kindness to us!"

Qin Jun couldn't hear the argument at the Qing Bronze Pass, and even if he did, he didn't care.

After leaving the pass, they were not far from the Canglan Kingdom.

He had said that he would break through the Canglan Kingdom that day, and he hadn't forgotten.

"Jia Xun!"

Qin Jun suddenly stood up and called out, and Jia Xun, who was meditating beside him, quickly got up and asked, "Your Highness, what are your orders?"

"If I destroy the Canglan Kingdom, what impact will it have on the Qianyue Kingdom?"

Faced with Qin Jun's question, Jia Xun was clearly taken aback.

Destroy the Canglan Kingdom?

This was something that most officials of the Qianyue Kingdom had fantasized about, but the two countries were weak and could only rely on each other, forming a superficial alliance. In recent years, the oppression of the Qianyue Kingdom by the Canglan Kingdom had become increasingly severe, so Jia Xun also hated the Canglan Kingdom.

But destroying the Canglan Kingdom was extremely difficult.

Wait...

Jia Xun's eyes widened, and he subconsciously looked around at the sea of people, suddenly feeling as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Yes, with Qin Jun's current strength, he could completely destroy the Canglan Kingdom and not fear the Qianyue Kingdom's isolation and helplessness!

"With Your Highness's current strength, you will only lead the kingdom to prosperity!"

Jia Xun quickly replied, flattering in a very natural manner.

Qin Jun smiled faintly and said no more, instead sitting on the wooden couch lost in thought, while Jia Xun began to fantasize about a bright future.

Seeing Qin Jun deep in thought, Taibai Jinxing felt even more gratified. He could see Qin Jun's growth, but the mention of the Abyss Gate made it difficult for Taibai Jinxing to smile.

The Nine Lords of the Demon Path, the nine overlords of the entire Southern Region's Demon Path, any one of them could easily overthrow a dynasty. Relying solely on their power and that of the Qianyue Kingdom, it would be very difficult to resist the Abyss Gate.

...

Imperial Palace Peak.

"What? Qin Jun has left with three hundred thousand troops?"

In the great hall, Aowujian, dressed in imperial robes, roared in anger. It wasn't Qin Jun's departure that made him furious, but the fact that Qin Jun had left with three hundred thousand troops.

He knew very well that Qin Jun didn't have an army; they were clearly troops taken from the dynasty!

"Yes..." the attendant kneeling below trembled, afraid of incurring Aowujian's wrath.

Although he had not yet officially ascended to the throne, Aowujian had already begun to refer to himself as the Southern Zhuo Emperor, and even donned the imperial robes.

"Why wasn't the news reported in a timely manner?" Aowujian asked through gritted teeth, suppressing his anger. The spacious hall was sparsely populated, with only a few attendants, giving it a desolate feel.

"The news was intercepted by the major aristocratic families. In addition, the Abyss Gate launched an attack on the Qing Bronze Pass two days ago."

"The Abyss Gate!"

Aowujian exclaimed, as if struck by lightning.

...

Dusk descended, and the afterglow spread across the sky like a fire.

"Your Highness, ahead is the Luoyaguan of the Canglan Kingdom!"

Jia Xun pointed to the city gate of Luoyaguan ahead and said, causing Qin Jun to open his eyes. He didn't get up, still sitting on the wooden couch to cultivate his energy.

The chariot was indeed comfortable, without any sense of jolting. It truly lived up to its reputation as a top-grade magical tool.

"Yuanba!"

Qin Jun suddenly spoke, and Li Yuanba, who was cultivating beside him, looked at him in confusion.

"Smash Luoyaguan for me!"

Upon hearing Qin Jun's command, Li Yuanba's eyes lit up, and he immediately jumped up, full of excitement.

"Chen Qingzhi!"

Qin Jun continued to shout, and Chen Qingzhi, who was beside the chariot, quickly half-knelt towards Qin Jun and said, "I'm here!"

"Attack Luoyaguan. Spare no one who resists, and those who surrender can be spared!"

Chen Qingzhi hesitated for a moment, then immediately ordered the white-robed soldiers to charge forward.

The seven thousand white-robed soldiers galloped forward, their momentum no less than that of a hundred thousand troops.

At the same time, Li Yuanba suddenly leaped up, flying towards Luoyaguan like a cannonball. They were still several kilometers away from Luoyaguan, but Li Yuanba's jumping power was terrifying, causing tens of thousands of people to exclaim in shock.

"Haha! Sons of bitches! Smash it for me!"

Li Yuanba's angry shout echoed throughout Luoyaguan, and the Golden Peng Divine Hammer instantly appeared in his hand, resembling two large water tanks.

The soldiers on Luoyaguan were still discussing what was on the horizon when they heard Li Yuanba's shout, which nearly scared them to death.

Before they could regroup, Li Yuanba swung the hammer down.

The solid city wall collapsed as if it were made of paper under the direct impact of the Golden Peng Divine Hammer. Not only that, even the ground shattered, and from a distance, the city wall seemed to explode, with debris flying and dust rising. Many soldiers were even blasted into the air, and the spectacular scene left people speechless.

The White Robe Army that followed, although also shocked, did not slow down at all, but instead moved faster.

"Soldiers, charge! This is the first battle for His Highness led by the White Robe Army. We cannot lose face!" Chen Qingzhi shouted loudly, his voice full of emotional appeal, stirring the blood of the White Robe Army soldiers. They roared one after another, their invincible military spirit solidifying into substance, as if a white aura enveloped them, extraordinary in power.

"Yuanba is the top fierce general of the present, and the White Robe Army is also a rare and extraordinary force!" Jia Xun stood beside Qin Jun and exclaimed. This was not flattery, but a sincere statement.

Li Yuanba might not be the strongest under Qin Jun's command, but he was absolutely terrifying on the battlefield.

It was the first time he had seen the invincible military spirit of the White Robe Army.

Qin Jun had a smile on his face, but he didn't speak. In his heart, he was ecstatic. The feeling of leading troops into battle was truly exhilarating.

Just one command could start a war!

A single word could decide the life and death of a kingdom. That was power!

The others didn't have much of a feeling. In their eyes, the kingdom was no different from a provincial capital in the imperial dynasty. It was Xu Guiku who looked at Qin Jun with a strange gaze.

At this moment, Qin Jun was completely different from his self in the imperial dynasty. He was no longer arrogant and overbearing, but instead exuded the calmness of an emperor and the decisiveness of a killer.
