Chapter 1456
Chapter 1456 Leave after It Is Done
“Your Majesty, save me!”
“Your Majesty, save me!”
Many of the Fifth Heavenly King’s subordinates roared in shock.
However, the Fifth Heavenly King could only suffer in silence. “You get to fly and ask for help at the same time while I can’t even move. How could you ask me to save you?”
Time seemed to have slowed down.
In the eyes of the Fifth Heavenly King, heaven and earth disappeared.
He felt as if he could only see the sword that could cut through space in front of him.
It was like an aircraft cloud. However, after the sword swept through the area, it left behind a cut space.
The pitch-black void inside was filled with violent energy and turbulence.
The Fifth Heavenly King knew very well that the cut space was even fiercer than the sword light. If he got trapped in it, he might be killed in a minute.
“They’re fleeing.”
Mu Xue looked at the many subordinates of the Fifth Heavenly King.
“How’s Tiny Tot?” Zhang Han asked.
“It’s fine. When we escaped last time, it got a bit exhausted,” Zi Yan replied.
Zhang Han laughed and said, “Let it come out and do some work out since it’s okay.”
“Alright.”
Zi Yan gently nodded her head and communicated with Tiny Tot.
“Murmur.”
Swoosh!
Tiny Tot turned into a stream of light, still in the shape of a penguin. It saw Mengmeng, Dahei, and Little Hei.
“Murmur?”
It was so happy that it flapped its wings. “Coo! Coo!”
It seemed to be in good spirits.
“Go do some work out.”
Zi Yan pointed to the people above.
Tiny Tot instantly transformed into a giant creature that appeared in the void.
It stared at the tens of thousands of fleeing people in the sky and was lost in thought.
Five seconds had passed.
“Coo!
“Coo!”
It let out two cries. Its voice was ethereal. Its wings, tail, and eyes were all shining with blue light.
Clatter!
A layer of dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky above those who were about to escape.
Tiny Tot displayed an ancient incantation.
The people who wanted to escape into the sky seemed to have been pushed down by a force.
When they flew up there, they would be suppressed by the dark clouds and pushed down.
They immediately changed their direction and fled to the ground.
However, they suddenly found that there was also a layer of black clouds below.
They were caught in the middle.
The black clouds were getting closer and closer, and the sword rays were becoming more and more intense.
They started to panic.
“Stop this. Let me out!”
“AAAAH!”
“Your Majesty, please save us now!”
Many people urged the Fifth Heavenly King.
“You’re the boss of the team, so why are you just standing there?”
“Silence!”
The Fifth Heavenly King used all his strength and shouted. He activated all of his cultivation.
He struggled and could feel that the energy of the space blockade around him was decreasing.
“I’ll be able to escape once the energy gets a little lower!”
The Fifth Heavenly King frantically activated his occult arts, Defense Treasures, and Spirit Treasures that could break the Bounded Domain.
Rumble!
Finally, the spatial fluctuations were unable to stop him.
At the most critical moment, he managed to escape.
“Hahahaha.”
Just as the ecstatic laughter was about to spread-
Hiss!
The sword seemed to cut through the void and disappeared in a flash. It came to the Fifth Heavenly King.
The Seven-star Sword, which had been charging for a long time, instantly slashed across the void.
It didn’t hit the Fifth Heavenly King directly.
Starting from under the Fifth Heavenly King’s feet, the space cut by the sword began to cover his entire body.
The Fifth Heavenly King was stunned.
He felt that his body was constantly torn apart by space. It seemed that he could not hold on for more than a few seconds.
“AH!”
He was unwilling to give up and roared. But two seconds later, he looked at Zhang Han blankly and asked, “Who are you? Who the hell are you?”
Zhang Han shook his head slightly and did not respond.
“Hahaha.”
The Fifth Heavenly King let out a bitter laugh. “The Sacred Wolf Mountain will not let you off. With my order, war is about to begin…”
Buzz!
He was devoured by the darkness.
An expert of the Sacred Wolf Mountain just died like that.
“Fifth, Fifth Heavenly King is dead.”
The faces of many of the Fifth Heavenly King’s subordinates turned pale.
“Nooooo!”
Amidst all kinds of roars, the Seven-star Sword cut through more than half of the battlefield.
The pitch-black spatial rift devoured tens of thousands of enemies.
Swoosh!
This sword strike was unparalleled, and Zhang Han performed it with all the energy in his body.
“Amazing. What amazing means,” Li Shan praised. “You’re as powerful as ever.”
Zhang Han chuckled and said, “Clear the battlefield.”
Li Shan waved his hand and sent out his men to annihilate the last remaining survivors of the other party.
“Why don’t you introduce us to each other?” Li Shan urged Zhang Han.
He glanced at Zi Yan and was also amazed.
“She’s my wife, Zi Yan.”
Zhang Han smiled and said, “This is Li Shan, one of the previous eight First Elders of the Cloud Shadow Sky. We have a good relationship.”
“Nice to meet you, Elder Li.” Zi Yan smiled and greeted Li Shan.
“Nice to meet you, Sister-in-law.” Li Shan laughed and said, “Although we used to take care of Hanyang, this boy is too stunning and very powerful. But we are brothers from beginning to end, so I would call you sister-in-law. Here are some gifts for our first meeting.”
Li Shan then took out several seventh-tier spirit treasures.
In fact, he didn’t have many treasures, but he didn’t feel distressed to take them out at this time.
“Many thanks, Elder Li.”
Zi Yan blinked her beautiful big eyes, looked at Zhang Han, and accepted the treasures.
“You’re welcome.”
Li Shan said with a smile, “We’ve all guessed what kind of woman could make Hanyang fall in love with her. Now that we’ve met today, I get it that Hanyang is so lucky to have such a beautiful wife as you.”
“Elder Li, you’re flattering me.”
“Now that we’ve dealt with the trouble here, shall we go first? Let’s go to the Illusory Sea Manor as soon as possible.” After Li Shan said that, his expression darkened slightly. He shook his head and said, “That won’t do. Some spaceships above have escaped. They will soon inform Sacred Wolf Mountain about what happened here. You have to go back. We will wait for Sect Leader Ning and others in the Clear Stream Star Area on the edge of the Ocean Astral Domain. We passed by that place when we came here.”
“Is this hard to handle?” Zhang Han asked.
“It is indeed.”
They were straightforward while talking. Li Shan nodded and said indifferently, “The Fifth Heavenly King is one of the top leaders of Sacred Wolf Mountain. His death is of great matter to them, but our Sect Master will protect us. He will just add a few hundred years to the time we stay here. This doesn’t matter. We’ll just wait until you get even more powerful.”
“Okay, we’ll do as you say,” Zhang Han said.
“We’re going home?”
Zi Yan smiled when she said that. Everyone could see that she was very happy.
“We’re going home.”
Zhang Han smiled.
“Are we going to take those people with us?” Mengmeng pointed to the people in the distance curiously and said, “Mummy, they are all your people.”
In the face of this question, Zi Yan thought for a moment. She looked at Zhang Han and then looked at Elder Li.
The tacit understanding between the couple was still very good. Zhang Han knew what Zi Yan was thinking.
He said to Elder Li, “Since I’m here, she no longer needs the Purple Moon Empire. Elder Li, you can arrange for some people who are loyal to my wife to cultivate in the Illusory Sea Manor later.”
“Sure,” Li Shan said. “If there aren’t too many of them, I’ll arrange them to be the inner-door disciples. If they all go to my sect, they’ll have to start as the outer-door disciples.”
Although he had a say in the sect, he did not have absolute power. Moreover, in the Illusory Sea Manor, Sect Leader Ning and the Eight Elders were of the same faction, and there was another group of people who restricted them.
This was the Sect Master’s means to balance the power in the sect.
The enemies gradually disappeared from the battlefield.
The void of the universe also became quiet.
The Fifth Heavenly King had lost some spaceships, and many of his men had found opportunities to escape.
The ones in the spaceships were all shocked.
“Fifth Heavenly King is dead.”
“Heavens, this is truly despairing news. Report this to the sect now.”
“Elder Li Shan from the Illusory Sea Manor attacked the Fifth Heavenly King. He is too ruthless.”
“Could it be that the Illusory Sea Manor is going to start a war in the Ocean Astral Domain?”
This was a matter of great importance. The disciples of the Sacred Wolf Mountain in the spaceships fully understood the meaning of this matter.
Perhaps the two supreme forces were going to clash.
After these people had left, the people of the Purple Moon Empire gradually gathered.
They were standing around in groups, forming a large circle.
“Moon Empress!”
“Congratulations, Moon Empress.”
Some people began to cheer.
That was the joy of victory.
There were also many people who looked ashamed. Just now, they had talked a lot when they tried to force Zi Yan to abdicate.
This was especially true for the high-position officials. They couldn’t even say anything at this moment.
“Moon Empress,” Zhang Han whispered into Zi Yan’s ear with a smile.
She was short of breath because of his masculinity.
She had not leaned against his chest for a long time.
Moreover, she felt a little itchy by her ear because he blew on it, and her heart turned quite soft.
But it was not the time to be romantic now.
She glanced at Zhang Han, pursed her lips and smiled.
“Just do it.”
Zhang Han gently patted her on the shoulder.
Zi Yan was wearing a crystal white dress. She took a few steps forward and looked around.
The Purple Moon Empire had existed for two years. Some of its members were the forces who joined later, and some were the ones who helped Zi Yan fight for sovereignty.
“We are safe now.”
The first thing she said was touching.
After fleeing for a year, they were finally safe. Being able to survive a disaster was always a delightful thing.
“My husband’s here to pick me up.”
What Zi Yan said next was very decisive and straightforward. “So, the Purple Moon Empire, well… I announce that the Purple Moon Empire is disbanded today. All good things come to an end. Here, I wish everyone a bright future.”
Her voice was as pleasant as ever, and as she looked incredibly beautiful, her aura reached its peak.
The scene quieted down.
In the silence, someone could not help but say, “Moon Empress, we can go with you!”
“We can keep developing the Purple Moon Empire in other Astral Domains.”
“…”
In the face of more and more intense words, Zi Yan pursed her red lips lightly and shook her head slightly.
“Next, I will select a group of you to join the Sea Illusion Manor’s inner court. The rest of you can also join the outer court and participate in the inner-door assessment with the other disciples.
“Ke Zhan.”
“Here,” replied Ke Zhan with a complicated expression on his face. He took a deep breath and then walked forward.
He knew that Moon Empress would not change her plan.
However, it would be a great opportunity to enter the inner court of the Illusory Sea Manor.
“Jiang Yan.”
“Here.”
“Lu Lexin.
“Wu Zhengyu.
“…”
Zi Yan called out dozens of names.
The ones she selected were all high-position officials and a few middle-level officials, who were her loyal subordinates.
As for the ones who had pressured her, even those who were higher-ups, Zi Yan didn’t select them.
She wouldn’t stay nice for no reason and would even bear a grudge sometimes.
“Next, I’ll call out a list of names. You know the reason why you can’t join the inner court and the outer court. I’ll leave you some spaceships.”
Zi Yan called out another list of names.
She was using a move.
Everyone who was called out remained silent.
Some of them regretted what they did, while others were unconvinced. However, they didn’t dare to say anything. Even the Fifth Heavenly King had been killed. With their current strength, they could be killed in an instant.
After she called out that list of names, Zi Yan said, “As for the ones I haven’t mentioned yet, I won’t call out your names. You can follow the team to join the outer court. I know that none of you wanted to get killed back then, but if I handed over the Roc, we would all die right after that. I still remember you pressuring me clearly, but it doesn’t matter now. The Purple Moon Empire has been disbanded. All of you can find your teams to leave.”
After finishing speaking, Zi Yan walked back to Zhang Han and held his arm very proudly.
She looked like a queen just now, but now she was like a timid and lovable girl.
Seeing this, the crowd was filled with emotions.
“We are also very glad to see that you’re happy, Moon Empress.” Ke Zhan cupped his hands and said with a smile, “I wonder if we will have a chance to see you again.”
“There will be a chance.” Zi Yan gave a positive answer, but then she teased Zhang Han in a low voice, “But if you want to see me, you have to ask my husband about it first. What if he gets jealous?”
Zhang Han could not help but laugh.
He put his arms around Zi Yan’s waist and did not say anything.
“Ahem, I have something to say.”
Li Shan coughed softly. He then waved his hand at his subordinates and said, “Record their information and arrange for them to enter the inner court. As for you guys, I’ll give each of you 30 more places. You can take your men and join the inner court together. Someone will inform you of the specifics of the dos and don’ts and arrangements.”
After finishing speaking, Li Shan looked at Zhang Han. “Shall we go now?”
“Okay. Let’s go.”
The dozens of people took the aircraft, rose into the air, and slowly disappeared from everyone’s sight.
The Moon Empress had left.
However, she left them with a bigger stage and hope.
The Illusory Sea Manor was one of the top sects in the Ocean Astral Domain. They had never even dared to think about joining it before.
“Inner disciples, come here to record your identity.”
“People who want to join the outer-door disciples, gather at the right side.”
“You guys, hurry up and go. Don’t be an eyesore here.”
“…”
Li Shan’s men began to make arrangements here.
The Fifth Heavenly King was killed.
The news was quickly reported to Sacred Wolf Mountain.
It was said that Elder Li Shan personally led his group from the Illusory Sea Manor to kill the Fifth Heavenly King.
For a time, the higher-ups of the Sacred Wolf Mountain were enraged and began to question the Illusory Sea Manor.
So when Li Shan came to the signal-covered area, he had a lot of voice messages on his communication device.
He did not check them. Instead, he contacted Sect Leader Ning, who was now Elder Ning of the Illusory Sea Manor.
“Why did you kill the Fifth Heavenly King of the Sacred Wolf Mountain?”
Ning Chen’s tone was full of curiosity, without the slightest hint of questioning.
He knew that Li Shan would not take action for no reason.
“Who said I killed him?” Li Shan laughed.
“Were you framed?” Ning Chen asked.
“I’m not going to keep you guessing. Guess who I met?”
“Just say it. Cut the crap,” Ning Chen scolded with a smile.
“Ahem.”
Li Shan’s face was full of smiles. He lowered his voice and pretended to be serious while saying, “Han Yang Immortal… is back.”
Hiss!
Even Zhang Han, Zi Yan, and the others nearby could hear the sound of gasping through the communication device.
“What did you say?”
Ning Chen let out a cry of surprise. Even someone as composed as him was shocked when he heard the news.
“You’re not joking, are you?” Ning Chen hurriedly asked.
“Why would I joke about this?” Li Shan took a deep breath and looked at Zhang Han.
“Video chat now!”
After Ning Chen immediately said that, he hung up the call and started the video chat.
His figure was projected.
He looked at Zhang Han in a daze and said, “Oh my god. Is this happening?”
Zhang Han smiled and said, “Sect Leader Ning, long time no see.”
“Hahahaha, you’re really back! Li Shan, you’re not tricking me, are you? Tell me if this is real.”
Li Shan said grumpily. “Hey, you’re looking at him with your own eyes. How could I possibly create an illusion?”
“This is great! Just wonderful!”
Sect Leader Ning’s face lit up. “Hanyang, what are you waiting for? Come and pick us up.”
They were acquaintances, after all, so they spoke more casually.
“I’m afraid that can’t be done now.” Li Shan smiled bitterly and said, “Although Hanyang has not died, his cultivation… is still recovering.”
“AH!”
Ning Chen patted his forehead, “I didn’t think about that.”
“You guys wait here for a while,” Zhang Han said. “In a few years, I’ll be able to get back to the Tribulation Stage. Then, I’ll come over and take you away.”
“Okay! I’ll be waiting. Then, what’s up with you guys now? Oh, I see. Did the Fifth Heavenly King offend Hanyang? It doesn’t matter. Shall we meet? We should at least have a drink together,” Ning Chen said with a smile.
“We’ve got the place to meet ready, which will be the Clear Stream Star Area. Hurry up and get moving. If Sect Master realizes that you’re leaving, you won’t be able to get there,” Li Shan said.
“I’ll make the arrangements now.”
Ning Chen then hung up.
He couldn’t hide the joy on his face and sent messages to the others one after another.
“Elder Bai, please contact the guys. I’ll give you half an hour to gather by my place immediately.”
“Roger that.”
After discovering the news, Ning Chen began to ponder.
“Now that Hanyang is taking recultivation, I guess he’ll need some spirit treasures. I’ll go to the treasure house to see what’s there and take some. Anyway, Sect Master won’t kill us. He’ll just have us stay a few hundred more years. That doesn’t matter.”
Ning Chen was up to something big and took action right away. He came to the treasure house, took a lot of cultivation resources, and left. Then, they took the aircraft and quickly took off.
Only by the time they got on the king vessel did Ning Chen send a message to the Sect Master.
“Sect Master, we’re going to the Clear Stream Star Area to meet an old friend. We’ll be back in a few days.”
He acted first and reported afterward.
This was the first time in history that they had ever done this.
After all, their Soul Lamps were still in the Sect Master’s hands.
They had no time to report the news. The Sect Master would soon know that the Fifth Heavenly King of the Sacred Wolf Mountain had been killed, and it would be impossible for them to leave the sect then.
Zhang Han’s group also began to fly to the Clear Stream Star Area.
“Let’s have a drink in the next few days.”
At the dining table, Li Shan said, “Sister-in-law, why don’t you drink a bit? This wine isn’t too intoxicating.”
He had a guilty conscience inwardly. “One’ll go crazy if getting intoxicated by this wine.”
“Uh, okay.”
Zi Yan saw them drinking one jar after another.
She couldn’t help but feel a little stunned.
“This way of drinking seems to be quite interesting.”
Zhang Guangyou fainted as soon as he drank a jar.
After all, this wine was Li Shan’s treasured liquor. He usually drank it one glass at a time. Since he had met Zhang Han, he was in a good mood and took all the jars out all at once.
After a few rounds of drinking, everyone was happily talking about their encounters including their joys and sorrows, their partings, and all kinds of emotions in life.
After they finished drinking, Zhang Han and Zi Yan returned to their room, and Mengmeng also stayed there for a long time before leaving.
After drinking some wine, Zi Yan got a little drunk. After the little princess left, she looked at Zhang Han with hazy eyes and gently bit her lower lip. Her eyes were shining with brilliance.
Gurgle!
Zhang Han swallowed forcibly.
“What are you wondering?” Zi Yan asked in a delicate voice.
“Let’s do it.”
Zhang Han’s majestic figure pounced on her.
Clatter!
Clatter!
The fragments of the long dress fluttered.
A layer of energy covered the room and also covered the wonderful melody.
Partings made the heart grow fonder. They had parted a very long time previously.
