Chapter 222: The Soul of the Ancients

"Let Li Bai go. Yuanba's destructive power is too strong," Qin Jun pondered for a moment and then smiled. "Every time Li Yuanba takes action, he almost destroys the entire city. So, Qin Jun is also a little afraid."

"Afterwards, it will take so much manpower and resources to rebuild. Qin Jun would feel heartbroken."

"Haha! Let my Qinglian Sword come out!" Li Bai laughed loudly and, as he spoke, turned and flew towards the Canglan Royal Capital, disappearing from Qin Jun's sight in the blink of an eye.

Li Yuanba sulked, and although Red Boy also felt the same way, he quickly disappeared and went to play on the other side.

At this moment, the city walls of the Canglan Royal Capital were heavily guarded, and the people dared not leave their homes, creating a tense atmosphere.

The Canglan Emperor and a group of civil and military officials stood in front of the imperial palace, all extremely nervous. Zhu Yishi, standing beside the Canglan Emperor, was also tense, holding a mysterious item wrapped in gray cloth, about a meter long.

"I never thought that our Canglan Kingdom would face such a day," the Canglan Emperor sighed. The officials behind him also felt uneasy. If they were defeated, they would probably not escape death.

"How come they haven't arrived yet?" a minister asked nervously. As soon as he spoke, the other ministers glared at him, making him shrink back in fear.

Just then, a wild and arrogant laughter rang out: "Have you not seen the waters of the Yellow River coming from the sky, flowing to the sea and never returning!"

Countless sword shadows covered the entire sky, carrying a world-destroying power, and attacked the imperial palace of the Canglan Royal Capital. This scene shocked countless people. The army in front of the imperial palace quickly activated the formation, and the purple spiritual power gathered to form a layer of light that enveloped the entire palace.

Looking at the countless sword shadows, even the long-standing Canglan Emperor couldn't help but tremble. He had lived for so long, but this was the first time he had seen such a scene.

The power of the Earth Immortal realm was terrifying!

If Li Bai wanted, the sword shadows in the sky could multiply tenfold, causing absolute despair to everyone in the Canglan Royal Capital.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Countless sword shadows smashed into the purple formation. The seemingly unbreakable formation instantly shattered, screams rang out one after another, blood splattered, and the Canglan Emperor and Zhu Yishi barely dodged the sword shadows, but the ground beneath them could not escape this disaster and was directly shattered, creating a chaotic scene.

Looking down at the ruined Canglan Imperial Palace, Li Bai, standing on the Qinglian Divine Sword, placed one hand on his waist and drank from a gourd, exuding a heroic and imposing air.

"Surrender, or die!" After taking a sip of strong liquor, Li Bai shouted loudly, his voice echoing throughout the entire Canglan Royal Capital, terrifying the people, and plunging the surviving soldiers into despair. He had killed most of the soldiers as soon as he appeared, and this level of power made them feel hopeless.

"Father, with our military strength alone, we can't even defeat one of Qin Jun's subordinates!" Zhu Yishi shouted in grief and anger to the Canglan Emperor, his hands gripping the gray cloth, ready to tear it open.

The Canglan Emperor's face also turned ashen. He hadn't expected Qin Jun's subordinates to be so strong. The ones who had come were not Red Boy, Sha Wujing, Li Yuanba, or Xingtian, but the second-tier Li Bai.

Yes, someone had divided Qin Jun's subordinates into three tiers, based on their rumored achievements. The most famous ones were Sha Wujing, Red Boy, Li Yuanba, and Xingtian. Among them, the name of the Great King of Holy Infants had become a terrifying existence that made people tremble at the mere mention of it.

"Do we really have to use it?" The Canglan Emperor looked at the gray cloth in Zhu Yishi's hands and gritted his teeth, struggling internally.

"Father, if we don't act now, we are doomed. If we die, we will have nothing left!" "If we die, we will have nothing left!"

This statement greatly shocked the Canglan Emperor. Yes, what was the use of being cautious now? They were in dire straits!

"Summon the ancient soul!" The Canglan Emperor roared, and Zhu Yishi's eyes turned red. Then, he roared and uncovered the gray cloth, revealing an ancient and unremarkable bronze mirror. The mirror's surface was blurry, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.

Zhu Yishi bit his palm, and blood splattered on his face, making him look extremely ferocious.

Li Bai seemed to sense something and reached out towards them. Zhu Yishi felt an irresistible force descending from the sky and saw the ancient bronze mirror flying towards Li Bai.

"Haha! It's too late! Come out, ancient soul!" Zhu Yishi laughed madly. Then, his entire body visibly shrank, becoming extremely thin and terrifying.

The ancient bronze mirror, which was flying towards Li Bai, suddenly stopped in mid-air and burst into a brilliant light.

Li Bai narrowed his eyes, feeling uneasy. At this moment, he used his finger as a sword and stabbed towards the ancient bronze mirror. A sword light tore through the air and directly landed on the ancient bronze mirror. However, instead of shattering it, the sword light was sucked into the mirror, as if nothing had happened.

"What's going on..." Li Bai realized that something was wrong. At this moment, an extremely evil aura emanated from the ancient bronze mirror, causing goosebumps to rise on Li Bai's skin.

The emperor of Canglan looked expectantly at the ancient bronze mirror, while ignoring his son, who had become like a skeleton due to sacrifice.

The son is gone, but can be born again!

Without the kingdom, there is nothing!

"Who... has awakened me..."

A intermittent and distant voice came from the ancient bronze mirror, startling Li Bai, who immediately picked up the Qinglian Divine Sword and stabbed it towards the ancient bronze mirror.

Meanwhile, on the way to the Canglan capital, Taibai Venus, Sha Wujing, and others frowned and turned to look at the palace.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Jun asked in confusion, as he had a low cultivation and did not feel anything unusual.

“Why does the Kingdom of Canglan harbor such evil things…” Taibai Venus muttered to himself, even the playful Red Boy quieted down.

Their abnormal behavior made Qin Jun even more puzzled. Damn it, can't you guys get to the point? You're making me anxious!

"Evil things?"

Jia Xun suddenly approached and said thoughtfully, "There has always been a legend in the Kingdom of Canglan. It is said that a long time ago, the land under the Kingdom of Canglan was the capital of a demonic dynasty. After its decline, it evolved into the present kingdom over the long years."

Qin Jun was speechless. This legend is so aggressive, clearly someone is trying to smear the Kingdom of Canglan. Do you really believe it? Could it be your Qianyue Kingdom that's behind this?
