Arriving at the Imperial Capital once again.
The Imperial Capital could truly be described as crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Above the clouds in all directions of the Imperial Capital, mysteries were actually hidden.
Within the clouds hid numerous Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands; they were all concealed in ways similar to the red leaf of the City of Merit.
The root cause was that the Imperial Capital was the place with the thickest heaven and earth karmic luck.
The gathering of heaven and earth spiritual qi greatly benefited cultivators. At the same time, monumental figures from all sides gathered here, possessing numerous inheritances.
Over these years, everyone in the Imperial Capital had been immersed in the joyful celebrations of victories from all sides.
Unknowingly, through the treasures obtained from the Western Frontier, even the hidden factions had been able to take a step further in their strength.
Only this time, the Imperial Capital panicked again, and these hidden factions continuously dispatched experts to hurry to the Central Plains.
Fourth Prince Yu had fought his way here.
Dongfang Liancheng actually showed no fear of the Imperial Dynasty's condemnation, not mobilizing a single soldier and allowing Fourth Prince Yu to break through the pass and enter the Imperial Dynasty.
Under Fourth Prince Yu's command, they shouted all along the way about the establishment of the Azure Dusk Dynasty, and Fourth Prince Yu proclaimed himself Emperor.
The tens of thousands of years of foundation of the Eastern Frontier bared its fangs and claws to the world, sweeping away everything in its path with crushing force.
The Eastern Frontier truly deserved to be the most mysterious land in the entire Imperial Dynasty; who knew how many ancient races were under Fourth Prince Yu's command.
Even the Central Plains was like an uninhabited land before the Eastern Frontier's grand army.
It wasn't until today that the world finally realized exactly how difficult it had been for Dongfang Liancheng to deal with King Yu in the Eastern Frontier.
Inside the Imperial Palace.
The elegant and luxurious Wenren Xianyi furrowed her brows tightly.
The sudden change in the Eastern Frontier caught her off guard, and it was also the biggest unexpected variable among her many schemes!
"Dongfang Liancheng has always been absolutely loyal to the Imperial Dynasty; how could he..."
Wenren Xianyi's voice was icy.
She couldn't figure out why, when everything was proceeding according to her desires and in just a few thousand more years she could achieve what even the Human Emperor could not, such a massive change would occur.
Right at this moment, a cultivator arrived outside the room. Clad in a red robe, he addressed Wenren Xianyi: "Reporting to Your Majesty, someone has trespassed into the Peerless Hall."
The following words made Wenren Xianyi's gaze even colder.
"The former Patriarch of the Azure Cloud Li Clan, Li Xinnian, is also there."
"The Li Clan?!!"
Wenren Xianyi's tone was chilling. Her thoughts back then were indeed not wrong; the Azure Cloud Li Clan had long harbored rebellious intentions.
Over the years, she had continuously asked the Li Clan to leave the Southern Frontier, which could be considered an immense imperial grace. Yet the Li Clan insisted on opposing her.
Now they were resisting the Blood Moon in the Southern Frontier, and a few years ago they even went to wreak havoc in the Central Plains.
She even suspected that Dongfang Liancheng letting Fourth Prince Yu into the pass was also related to the Li Clan!
This Azure Cloud Li Clan opposed her everywhere and had already become her stumbling block.
It was a pity that Uncle Rain and those who invaded Azure Cloud Prefecture back then were too useless, actually leaving the Azure Cloud Li Clan alive until today.
And that Li Clan's Old Ancestor; she still remembered the Li Clan's Old Ancestor flaunting his power before her.
"Have Zhao Guang go to the Peerless Hall to capture Li Xinnian, then send a message to the Li Clan telling them to leave the Southern Frontier."
Wenren Xianyi issued the order casually.
The red-robed person, who had a floating treasure resembling a golden sun behind him, furrowed his brows.
"Your Majesty... Commander Zhao Guang of the Immortal Suppression Department... his whereabouts have long been unknown."
"Then have the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion go!"
"We cannot find the traces of their experts either."
Wenren Xianyi furrowed her brows tightly.
The red-robed person looked awkward. "As long as Ancestor Lan lives for a single day, the Mahayana experts of the world are in a state of panic."
...
The Peerless Hall was truly magnificent. With sixty thousand years of foundation and the assistance of Min Tiange, it was entirely worthy of being a hidden faction.
Most of the people inside the hall wore white robes.
Into the peaceful Peerless Hall walked a farmer dressed in coarse cloth.
This farmer was barefoot, his body covered in dirt, yet his face was resolute, and his bright, piercing eyes were enough for others to glimpse that his identity was not to be underestimated.
Su Chen.
As soon as he entered the Peerless Hall, he said, "I have returned."
"Who's there?!!"
The disciples of the Peerless Hall hadn't expected someone to silently bypass their Peerless Hall's restrictions and walk in so openly through the main doors.
But just as they were about to block him and stepped forward, before they could even get within ten meters of Su Chen, they only caught a glimpse of Su Chen's icy cold eyes.
"Bang!"
Foundation Establishment realm cultivators exploded and died, their flesh and blood splattering everywhere.
This instantly caused a massive commotion. The Peerless Hall fell into immediate panic, as cultivator after cultivator gathered, forming a grand array.
Yet Su Chen just silently continued walking forward.
Deep within the Peerless Hall, a beautiful woman sitting cross-legged abruptly opened her eyes from her secluded cultivation.
Amidst her slight shock, there was a touch of reminiscence and sorrow.
It was precisely Mu Xueqing, who had conspired with Min Tiange to kill Su Chen back in the day. This woman let out a sigh: "He has finally come after all."
Then, ignoring Su Chen slaughtering the Peerless Hall disciples outside the main hall as if walking through an uninhabited land, she quietly sat cross-legged.
At this time, Li Xinnian had also entered the Peerless Hall.
He hid at the edge of the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, a trace of joy flashing in his eyes.
He saw his eldest brother Su Chen acting unscrupulously, surrounded by the Peerless Hall disciples, silently walking forward.
Within a hundred meters around Su Chen, there seemed to be invisible sharp blades. No matter who approached Su Chen, there was only one result—
Death!
This was the result of Su Chen's centuries of mortal transformation.
Countless techniques poured down from thousands of Peerless Hall disciples, yet upon reaching Su Chen's side, they turned into nothingness.
A Divinity Transformation realm cultivator, augmented by a grand array, thrusted a long spear Dharma Treasure at Su Chen like a falling meteor.
Yet upon reaching Su Chen, his Spiritual power completely vanished, and his neck was tightly gripped by Su Chen's hand, reducing him to a mere ant.
No matter what array formation or how powerful the opponent, in front of Su Chen, they were like flies, capable of being extinguished with a wave of his hand!
