PFC Chapter 823: The Pearl of Great Xia
Chapter 823: The Pearl of Great Xia
The rebel kings, leading their armies, surrounded the capital region with great arrogance, constantly talking about the Emperor.
As their wild laughter faded into the distance, the soldiers instinctively shuddered at the mere mention of the Emperor's name.
In fact, they didn't know why these rebel kings were so bold, nor did they know why they had joined the rebel army in such a muddle. What would happen if the Emperor returned?
They dare not think about it.
In fact, some rebel kings were worried that the Human Emperor would return.
Someone said, "What's there to be afraid of? I've heard that the Human Emperor disliked this princess in his early years and took away all the powerful figures. There are no more Saint-level experts or above in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, so he won't care about her life or death anymore. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had the chance to kill our way to the capital."
"Is that so? Then let's fight."
Chen Ling'er seemed to have been touched on a sore spot, tears wetting the hem of her clothes. She mounted her horse, straightened her robes, and launched a charge.
In this battle, the opposing side deployed only Martial Venerables.
Surrounded by hundreds of martial masters, Chen Ling'er's injuries worsened. By the time she killed the last one, she was covered in blood and then exhaled a breath of cold air before falling off her horse.
Xiao Qing let out a mournful cry and crawled down to shield her from the wind and frost.
Chen Ling'er hugged Xiao Qing's neck tightly, her eyes glazed over as she faced the cold winter at the end of the year. Blood flowed from her open mouth. "I've lost. The Great Xia is finished. I remember Father said that if I lose the throne, he will expel me from the family genealogy. Will I become a wandering ghost?"
Xiaoqing rubbed her head to comfort her.
Chen Ling'er leaned against Xiao Qing, slumped down, and stretched out her hand towards the sky, "Father, the pearl of Lizhou cannot become a wandering ghost, it shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this..."
After saying that, Chen Ling'er's arm fell to her side.
The wind and frost grew stronger, making it impossible to open one's eyes.
Is she dead?
Chen Futu stared at his daughter's corpse, his heart almost stopping.
Why didn't she take the final step? Why?
"Chen Futu, if anything happens to my daughter, I'll fight you to the death!"
Qin Liangyu nearly lost control. She stood up angrily, and the entire void trembled as her rage burned fiercely.
The entire continent trembled under her oppressive aura. The rebel kings who were besieging the capital felt this aura and were terrified. They realized something and looked at the thunderous sky in horror.
After so many years of marriage, Qin Liangyu had always been gentle and mild-mannered, but this time she was furious.
Chen Futu hesitated for a moment, then grabbed her hand. "Calm down. Ling'er won't die like this. She will definitely overcome the tribulations of the mortal world."
What happened next seemed to confirm Chen Futu's words. Chen Ling'er, who had already died, seemed to sense Qin Liangyu's presence. Her fingers twitched, and she unconsciously murmured, "This is Mother's presence. Mother has come to take me away... I can't die, I can't..."
The wind and snow were getting heavier.
One figure after another appeared in the void.
Zhang Sanfeng, Xiaobai, Fu Shuang, Tai Qingyu and other powerful figures, as well as many fierce generals, have all arrived.
Everyone watched Chen Ling'er silently amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, anticipating her transformation from a caterpillar to a butterfly.
After a few breaths, a divine aura rose from the ground. It was extremely domineering and fierce. As this divine aura appeared, the entire battlefield was suddenly engulfed in divine fire. The flames burned the plains and cleansed the world of its filth.
"I am Chen Ling'er, the daughter of the Human Emperor."
"How could someone like me die at the hands of a bunch of scum?"
Chen Ling'er's gray hair quickly turned black, and her withered face regained its youthful vitality. At a certain moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, and the blazing and domineering true fire pierced through the sky, and the entire sky was burning fiercely.
Upon seeing this, Xiaoqing let out a high-pitched hoot, as if it were leaping with joy.
Standing high in the sky, Chen Ling'er waved her hand and the bloodstains on her body vanished. She suddenly changed back into her signature fiery robe, her princess dress, the symbol of the jewel of the empire.
Then, divine flames coalesced into a halo behind her, her hair and robes burning fiercely. The divine fire made her appear like a spirit of flames. She looked down upon the human world with such fervor and aloofness, "Insects, the game is over."
"no no!"
The rebel kings were terrified and turned their horses around to flee.
Chen Ling'er raised her snow-white chin, her face radiant, "Divine Fire, scorching the world."
As soon as the words fell, the plain was filled with hysterical wails. One figure after another turned to ashes. Any soldier whose body was covered with dark karma that Chen Ling'er discovered was burned into nothingness.
"Long live the Empress! Long live the Empress! Long live the Empress!"
Countless soldiers knelt down in surrender, prostrating themselves in fear and trembling.
Chen Ling'er ignored them, her gaze sweeping across the entire Li Continent territory, before unleashing a divine fire.
"Go, cleanse this world for me."
The divine fire was formed from the true fire of the Ancient Phoenix Scripture, accompanied by the thoughts of a deity. It borrowed Chen Ling'er's will and suddenly split into fire rain that flew in all directions.
In an instant, the entire continent was filled with wails and pleas for mercy.
Those who died were all members of powerful and wealthy families who committed crimes, corrupt officials, and remnants of the rebellion against the king.
Chen Ling'er spoke, her voice sweeping across the entire realm, "I am Chen Ling'er, the daughter of the Human Emperor and Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty. Today I ascend to the Divine Path, bringing peace back to the Li Continent. Those who do not comply shall be executed."
This is God's decree. All the creatures of the continent prostrate themselves on the ground, none daring to disobey, for those who do not will be burned to ashes by God's fire.
Among the regions most severely ravaged by the divine fire were the Northern Frontier and the Western Regions, where one force after another was scorched to ashes.
"What a magnificent pearl of Great Xia!"
When Chen Futu arrived, laughter swept across the sky.
When Chen Ling'er saw her father, she subconsciously pursed her lips, her eyes cold and unmoved.
However, when Qin Liangyu appeared, Chen Ling'er rushed over to her, still acting coquettishly in her mother's arms as before.
Qin Liangyu held her beloved daughter, crying and laughing at the same time; she was truly heartbroken.
Chen Futu, having been rebuffed, summoned Dian Wei, "Go, have all the legions clear out all hidden dangers, kill those who should be killed, don't let a single one go."
"Here!"
Dian Wei had been itching to fight for a long time.
Having just witnessed this battle, these fierce generals must be feeling incredibly frustrated.
Now that their lord has given the order, they can go and launch a counterattack.
Do they really think that with the Emperor gone, the powerful families can do whatever they want? The time for reckoning is coming.
With the various legions clearing out the islands, the situation was stabilized in just three days.
The Emperor has returned, and no one will dare to rebel again. The good old days will continue.
The people were happy, but the officials in various places were in trouble; it was a bloody and brutal purge.
It also served as a warning to the world not to try to fleece the empire, or they would only be sent on their way.
With the return of the Human Emperor and his entourage, the Abyss returned to Huazhou, and various forces also returned one after another. Everything was as before, as if the past few decades had been just a dream, and in fact, it was far from damaging the foundation of Lizhou.
Given the resources of Lizhou, this damage is not even as severe as the losses during the catastrophe of that year, and it will be able to fully recover to its original level in at most six months.
Next, Chen Futu looked up at the sky, "It's time to scout ahead."
