Chapter 402: Chapter 402 Kneeling Worship Throughout the City

"It’s done, the fusion is successful!" exclaimed the white-robed young man, Yangg Zhong, as he looked at the Green Blue Fierce Flame in his palm, fused by secret techniques, his face brimming with elation and relief as he laughed heartily.

"Finally, success!" The jade pendant worn on Yangg Zhong’s chest emitted an ancient and hoarse voice, revealing exhaustion as it then said, "My child, now that you have fused the Green Lotus Earth Fire with the Blue Flame Earth Fire, your cultivation technique, your martial skill, and your alchemy skill can all advance to the next stage."

"Haha, indeed!" Yangg Zhong laughed joyously and said, "Teacher, thank you for your hard work."

"It is no hardship for me, seeing you gradually grow up brings me great comfort. I am waiting for the day when I can see with my own eyes the moment you stand proudly at the pinnacle of Tianheng Continent, exterminating the entire Nine Nether Lineage!" the weary voice spoke again with a hoarse tone.

"Rest assured, Teacher, I will not fail to meet your expectations! Sooner or later, the Nine Nether Lineage will be completely eradicated from Tianheng Continent!" declared Yangg Zhong with determination and a resolute expression.

Immediately, an image flashed in Yangg Zhong’s mind, his features twisted in ferocity as he bitterly called out the name of that person: "Shi Feng!"

...

Shi Feng’s figure broke through the air at high speed across the desert, while using the Nine Nether Secret Method – the Nine Nether Undying Body. Wounds on his face and hands were rapidly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After flying out of the desert, his injuries had almost entirely recovered, revealing once again his handsome and imposing visage.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, a fluctuation flickered through Shi Feng’s soul – the sensation of the jade scroll he had sent out being crushed.

"Long Chen!" This fluctuation from the soul was indeed from the jade scroll given to Long Chen. Sensing this signal, Shi Feng murmured to himself, "Could it be that he has found some of the medicinal ingredients I need?"

Thinking this, Shi Feng further accelerated his speed of breaking through the air.

Normally, traveling from Yunlai Empire Imperial City to the Territory of the Snake-man Clan in the Northwest Desert would take at least one day at Shi Feng’s original speed, but now that his martial arts realm had broken through to Martial Venerable, it took only half a day to reach the Imperial City’s void, standing arrogantly above the Imperial City.

Shi Feng looked down, surveying the area below when suddenly from beneath the Imperial City, a furious shout erupted: "Who dares to fly above the Imperial City..."

The angry shout abruptly paused as the word "fly" was uttered, the voice quivering slightly, and then the tone shifted as it respectfully cried out, "Lord War God! Pay respects to the Lord War God!"

"Pay respects to the Lord War God!"

"Pay respects to the Lord War God!"

"Pay respects to the Lord War God!"

Following that, an array of respectful shouts echoed throughout the Imperial City, their voices soaring to the heavens. These voices belonged to the Imperial City’s guards, officials, and even its citizens.

During Long Ao’s tyranny, the Imperial City was filled with suffering living beings, millions of inhabitants were slaughtered by Long Ao; these citizens had been relocated from other cities of the Yunlai Empire.

The name of the War God now shone brightly in the original Yunlai Empire, with every city building statues in his honor.

Since Long Chen ascended to the throne, he had ordered the entire country to spread the awe-inspiring stories of the War God. The days of Long Ao’s tyranny, though the wrongdoing of his own father, were retold by a different narrative by Long Chen:

The demon of the Skywind Sect, Fengg Qianyu, with a bloodthirsty and brutal nature, needlessly slaughtered the innocent. Leading various great sects and great demons, as well as those dissenters eradicated by Long Chen, they were all branded as national scourges and traitors to the country, including the King of the South, Shi Jintian.

The demon Fengg Qianyu, leading various evildoers and traitors, descended upon the Imperial City, slaughtering everyone in sight, committing atrocities without restraint, and massacring the citizens of the Imperial City as well as the living beings of several major cities nearby. In an instant, wails of agony spread across the fields, life became hellish, and blood flowed like rivers.

The War God, unable to bear the suffering of the Yunlai Empire’s citizens, appeared in the Imperial City, leading the Yunlai Empire’s army to slay Fengg Qianyu and the other demons, as well as those wrongdoers who followed Fengg Qianyu’s evil lead!

Although Long Chen ordered that this version be spread throughout the country, the tyranny of Long Ao that day had already swept through the entire Yunlai Empire, and basically everyone across the country was well aware of it.

The commoners also knew that the tyrant Long Ao was beheaded by the War God Shi Feng. Therefore, the citizens of the Yunlai Empire who knelt down to Shi Feng, upon seeing the legendary War God who had slain the tyrant and restored true peace to the world, did so out of genuine respect and adoration from the depths of their hearts.

Shi Feng looked down upon the vast Imperial City, seeing the place that had been covered with densely packed dried-up corpses now bustling and thriving once more, with swarming crowds. Then, from the city center below him, figure after figure began to kneel down in reverence, and this kneeling gesture was spreading outward from the central area in all directions.

Unconsciously, he who had been a murderous demon slaughtering all the way here, had actually received so much adoration. Shi Feng could see that the kneeling citizens and guards were doing so from their hearts, unlike those in the Heavenly Mist Empire, where they had been forced by his fearsome reputation.

"Everyone, rise!" Shi Feng said, speaking indifferently to the people below as his voice echoed over the skies of the Imperial City and resonated throughout the entire city.

The crowd below rose to their feet as Shi Feng’s figure moved, diving down towards the ground. With a "boom," he landed on the altar of the Imperial City’s Space Transmission Array.

"War God!"

"War God!"

"War God!"

The Golden-armored Guards around the transmission array, who were just preparing to get up from their kneeling posture, saw Shi Feng arrive and quickly knelt down again in worship.

"Enough now, rise and speak," Shi Feng said to the Golden-armored Guards.

"Yes, Lord War God!"

After the guards rose, Shi Feng asked, "How is the transmission array now, can it be used?"

"Reporting to Lord War God, after you left four days ago, the Alchemy Masters arrived the very next day to activate it. It took them a whole day and a night, and now this Space Transmission Array has successfully connected to the Imperial City. The Alchemy Masters have already departed through this array," a Golden-armored Commander replied with a salute. Since Shi Feng had left the Yunlai Empire for the Territory of the Snake-man Clan and experienced a great battle there, four days had passed, and coincidentally, this Golden-armored Commander was also stationed here four days ago.

After hearing the Golden-armored Commander’s words, Shi Feng nodded and said, "Good! Activate the Space Transmission Array now and send me to the Imperial City!"

"At your command!" The Golden-armored Commander responded again, and instantly, the guards around the array busied themselves, inserting Primordial Stones to start operating the array, until a flash of white light surged from the altar of the transmission array, signaling the guards to cease their activities.

And as the white light vanished, so did the majestic figure atop the Transmission Altar.

"Ah! What a pity, to finally see Lord War God only for him to depart so quickly," sighed a guard, looking at the now empty Transmission Altar and expressing a sense of regret.

"Lord War God, what kind of person is he? To see him for even such a brief moment is already enough! In this life, I have no more regrets!" another guard added.

"Ah, I truly look forward to the day when I can follow Lord War God into battle!" a guard revealed a face full of longing.

As these words were spoken, it was as if faces were infected one after another, many guards showing expressions of yearning!
