Chapter 834: Chapter 662: Southern Chen Falls!

General Er planted a seed of the Eight Trigrams here, and in the Southern Chen Imperial City under siege, Hongyan Jiaojiao and Wuchang Yue felt a chill on their backs, shivered collectively.

Manman sent Gu Changsheng’s Divine Breath a thousand miles away, but naturally, it couldn’t last long.

In Liaodong, unable to catch Zhou Mu, Gu Changsheng returned furious, feeling even more unbalanced!

She thought, this evildoer’s tactic of taking advantage amid chaos was utterly shameless, how could she be any worse?

So, taking advantage of the siege of the Southern Chen Imperial City, Gu Changsheng unhesitatingly sent out some of her troops with just one purpose: sweep!

Across Southern Chen, complaints were heard everywhere, full of anger yet no one dared to speak out.

If the Great Zhou Army’s entry into Liaodong and Northern Mongolian was like locusts passing through, then the southwest army’s sweep through Southern Chen was leaving not even a feather behind, thoroughly executed!

Borjigin Nian heard about her senior brother’s potential feats at home, gritting her small silver teeth in frustration, nearly breaking a tooth, and seeing Gu Changsheng’s imitative actions made her, who initially harbored a bit of schadenfreude towards Southern Chen, suddenly feel a sense of shared fate and sorrow!

After all, wasn’t she the Princess of Northern Mongolian?

Even if this princess was often unreliable, her Father King was still the King of Northern Mongolian!

Thus, Borjigin Nian expressed her deep resentment towards Gu Changsheng, and profound disdain for her unkind senior brother.

”Come on, your senior brother already gave you enough face, he raided Liaodong and carried off many marriageable women, while wealth may only weaken a country for a few years, with a period of rest and recuperation it’ll recover, but this massive intermarriage and bloodline amalgamation truly shakes the nation’s foundation, and in the long run, even without me intimidating Liaodong to surrender to Great Zhou, Liaodong will align closely with Great Zhou, eradicating any basis for raising troops,” Gu Changsheng expressed her deep disdain for Zhou Mu instructing troops to seize women, it was incredibly unscrupulous, even more so than plundering!

However, she liked it!

”Hmph!” Borjigin Nian snorted coldly, ”It’s not that my senior brother respects me by not shaking Northern Mongolian’s foundation, but because Northern Mongolian women are fierce, can he dare to kidnap them? Can he conquer them if he did?”

Gu Changsheng was taken aback, ”Are Northern Mongolian women all as fierce as you?”

”Who are you calling fierce, Gu Changsheng? You’re the fierce one, your whole family is fierce!” Borjigin Nian was immediately displeased and went ballistic, but she saw a flash of multi-colored clothing outside the Royal Tent, quickly turning genteel and virtuous, ”I am the most gentle and virtuous...”

”Pfft!” Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

She of course sensed Yue Xilou’s presence, but found Borjigin Nian’s act particularly hard to bear, looking at Borjigin Nian acting all poised in front of her, feeling she was the worst actor she’d ever seen!

This acting was truly unbearable to watch!

”Nian, listen to me, Flower Peacock is a tough bone to chew, how about we pick an easier one?”

”No way! Grandma wants a peerless handsome man, who else could it be but Yue Xilou?” Borjigin Nian was resolute.

Gu Changsheng was speechless, ”Alright then, keep at it!”

Borjigin Nian, encouraged, knowing Yue Xilou had already gone far, said triumphantly, ”Don’t you have an old saying in Central Plains, with deep kung fu, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle?”

”But can an embroidery needle still be used?” Gu Changsheng widened her eyes.

Borjigin Nian was furious, pointing at Gu Changsheng with a face full of shame, ”You! You! You have no shame!”

”See, your mind wandered, didn’t it? Such a pure-hearted person I am, with simple thoughts, flawless as white jade, but I unexpectedly befriended such an impure friend, oh... the whims of fate!” Gu Changsheng sighed heavily, particularly blaming fate.

”Who is truly impure, Gu Changsheng you’re the shameless one, is your face made of iron?” Borjigin Nian’s face turned bright red, clearly it was this unscrupulous woman in front of her who was impure, yet she got bitten back.

”Wrong! My face should be gold cast and silver molded, iron is too cheap, it’s worthless!” Gu Changsheng shook her head, speaking with firm certainty.

Borjigin Nian’s face twitched, wanting to speak, but ultimately retreated defeated.

Gu Changsheng was pleased and in good spirits, feeling that after being trapped for many days in the quest for the dragon, it was time to settle things, so she left the Royal Tent, leading her inseparable group of female officials, made a grand march toward the Southern Chen Imperial City.

There, old grudges were yet to be settled, and today, it was time to end them.

”Bring that person who’s been watching the drama all along.” Gu Changsheng instructed her female officials.

Immediately, someone dragged out the lifeless Sima Liancheng.

Gu Changsheng stood under the City Gate, glanced at the disheveled Sima Liancheng, ”That person inside, you’ve been fighting with all your life, now I’ll help you settle him, you must be particularly gratified at this moment.”

”Witch! Devil woman! You’ll face divine retribution!” Sima Liancheng was full of resentment, coughing instantly.

Indeed, within the Southern Chen Imperial Capital was Sima Changhao, with whom he had battled his entire life.

But now, Sima Liancheng desperately hopes that his long-time adversary can escape this calamity, and that the Sima Imperial Family of Southern Chen will not be annihilated!

”Heh heh...” Gu Changsheng chuckled softly upon hearing this, ”Divine punishment, indeed, I’ve already faced it once, but clearly, I’m still alive.”

However, she is quite certain that she does not want to go through it again!

It was unbelievably heart-pounding!

”Enough, the conclusion is decided, allowing you to die in your birthplace is my final concession to you. Men, send him on his way, there’s no need for him to see the rest!” Gu Changsheng waved a hand behind her, ”Sima Liancheng, I will give your people a swift end, do not worry.”

”You!” Sima Liancheng’s eyes widened with fury; despite all his cunning, he was powerless at this moment.

The once heroic figure of the Sima Imperial Family of Southern Chen was thus dragged down.

Gu Changsheng wore her Dragon and Phoenix Royal Robe, a shimmering golden light like a dream or illusion as she waved to Hongyan Jiaojiao beside her looking at the magnificent city in front.

This time, she’s truly going to give the Southern Chen Imperial Clan a painless ending.

The fear of death, they must have already experienced it enough, and she is impatiently eager to unify the Southern Country and settle everything.

In front of the Southwest army, the Southern Chen Imperial City seemed so fragile and vulnerable, collapsing in an instant, as if swept away.

Standing behind the City Gate, Gu Changsheng calmly listened to the wails and struggles from within the city.

Only when a person’s heart reaches that position, will it be tempered to be as strong as iron, accustomed to seeing life and death. Gu Changsheng knew even now she could not escape and only faced it head-on.

The majestic Imperial City was razed to the ground, since Gu Changsheng decided to make Southern Chen a vassal to the Southwest and bring the Southern Country under her control, she will not allow anything symbolic of royal power to remain, including this city!

Although she cannot erase the traces of Southern Chen from history, she will cleanse the aristocratic power of the Southern Chen Imperial Clan.

A truly grand Imperial City of the Southern Country thus transformed into ruins and rubble in Gu Changsheng’s hands...

In the distance, Little Monk Bu Jie stood on a small hill, his eyes filled with Chaos as he watched the empire vanish before him. His little face showed neither joy nor sorrow.

A tall and elegant figure appeared behind him, Gu Taitian looked down from above, with a slightly worried expression.

”Senior Monk, have you discovered something?” A voice steeped in history but unavoidably worried broke the silence atop the hill, Gu Taitian disrupted it.

Little Monk Bu Jie glanced back, a solemn expression on his small face showed a flicker of concern, ”What have you discovered once again?”

Gu Taitian bowed his head, meeting Little Monk Bu Jie’s gaze, the worry in his eyes deepening a bit more, hesitated, but still asked, ”Has the calamity of defying heaven truly been resolved?”

Little Monk Bu Jie lowered his head, saying nothing.

Gu Taitian did not give up and spoke again, as if his inner worry was confirmed, ”With your divine abilities connecting past and future and mastering celestial secrets, have you truly discovered nothing? The Female Star of the Occupation Room, the star under which my daughter was born, what does it mean?”

Little Monk Bu Jie raised his head upon hearing this, looking at Gu Taitian with slight disbelief, then returned to silence, expressionless, ”Being able to bind the Divine Soul, I suppose you have studied deeply in the field of mysticism and can see some aspects. That is to be expected...”

After saying this, Little Monk Bu Jie raised his head, gazing at the vast sky.

The sun hung high, the sky was clear, clouds amassed.

His eyes, like Chaos, seemed to look through the clouds towards the stars, his small face slightly lost and muttering, ”Born against heaven, inherently great misfortune; born of destiny, yet great events. This calamity was not originally some heaven-defying disaster, so what is there to say about resolving or not resolving it...”

Gu Taitian’s expression tightened at this, his body trembled, nearly losing his balance.

Little Monk Bu Jie gave him a deep look, then turned and walked down the hill.

”Your act of defying heaven descended on this troubled world; something is brewing here that even I can’t see clearly. I only know that the calamity of defying heaven will never dissipate because of a mere Human God like me. Now that it has dissipated, it only shows that in this world, there is something that can extinguish it, or...”

Little Monk Bu Jie’s voice echoed faintly and paused here.

On the mountaintop, Gu Taitian turned back in horror, looking at the small figure who froze momentarily, his expression changed.

Standing several steps away, Little Monk Bu Jie raised his head again towards the sky, his youthful voice slightly solemn and said, ”Or it means an even greater catastrophe is brewing...”

”Senior Monk!” Gu Taitian anxiously took two steps forward, his expression vastly changing.

At this moment, Little Monk Bu Jie turned back, his small face no longer kind and benevolent, turned extremely solemn, ”It’s either great misfortune or great events, all tied to Benefactor Changsheng alone. All I know is that my fate is also tied solely to her...”
