Dominating Martial King-Chapter 1562 - 534: The Battle Begins

Half a moment later, Chu Xisheng waved away the blue light screen in front of him.

He first wiped the cold sweat, as large as beans, off his forehead with his sleeve.

The problem still wasn’t solved, only postponed — so, in the coming period, troubles were inevitable.

Chu Xisheng then turned to Feng San: "Mr. Feng, where are those Inner Palace experts hiding?"

"There are three confirmed locations, the closest is three hundred and fifty miles south of here. They are hiding in a Mountain God Temple within a valley, and Xiaao Hongchen is also there."

Mad Sword Feng San answered without hesitation, pressing his sword at his waist, with a sharp intent to kill: "My Lord wants to startle the snake? A wise move."

This could disrupt their deployment and rhythm, causing the enemy to be in disarray, at worst, cutting off an arm of the enemy.

No matter what the court intends to do, they must not be allowed to succeed.

Chu Xisheng couldn’t help but smile, thinking his Master Xia was truly a shrewd person, perfectly in tune with him.

Meanwhile, Chu Xisheng also felt a pang of doubt.

What exactly happened in the past that caused a peerless hero like Master Xia to have his Dao Heart shattered, plunging into madness?

He then shook his head, setting aside that thought.

Now wasn’t the time to dwell on these matters.

"The Mountain God Temple? How coincidental."

Chu Xisheng invoked the ’Divine Mountain Scepter’ within the Star Authority Seal, then, dragging Feng San and his two Spirit Pets, dashed underground: "Let’s give them a surprise!"

Three hundred and fifty miles away in East Valley, Xiaao Hongchen stood with arms crossed on the stone steps in front of the Mountain God Temple.

It was pouring rain outside the temple, with rolling black clouds covering the sky, thunder roaring and lightning intertwining, plunging the valley into utter darkness and oppression.

Yet, Xiaao Hongchen was in quite a good mood, his mind at ease.

This Mountain God Temple where they were hiding, although bleak with incense and rarely visited. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

But this was in the core area of Extreme East Ice City, less than two thousand five hundred miles from the Ice City, still with some risk of exposure.

However, this sudden heavy rain had covered all their traces, preventing any unexpected occurrences.

"This rain knows its timing."

At this moment, Imperial Palace Chief Zhu Mingyue stood behind Xiaao Hongchen.

He looked at the pouring rain in the sky: "It shows that destiny is with our Daning, with His Majesty!"

Xiaao Hongchen’s lips slightly curled: "I also feel so, just one more day, and His Majesty’s grand undertaking will be accomplished!"

He knew that this time, His Majesty personally came to Ice City with the intention of seeking the virgin yin of Ween Zhiyi.

Although Xiaao Hongchen still didn’t know what benefit the virgin yin of ’One Sword Overturning City’ would bring to His Majesty, he could guess it was related to the State Preceptor’s scheme.

He had served His Majesty for seventeen years, always being considered a confidant by His Majesty.

So long ago, he knew that His Majesty and the State Preceptor were deploying and planning a major event.

And now, this major event had reached its most critical point.

Once successful, not only would this Extreme East Ice City crumble, His Majesty would have everlasting reign, and the fate of Daning Country would last for a thousand autumns.

Furthermore, from the fragmentary words revealed during discussions between His Majesty and the State Preceptor, it seemed His Majesty’s Martial Arts could once soar to the top, becoming the strongest in the Mortal World.

Thinking of this, Xiaao Hongchen couldn’t help but turn his head towards Extreme East Ice City, eyes filled with intense anticipation.

He was somewhat impatient at this point.

Tomorrow’s grand sacrifice in Ice City would mark the turning point of the world.

In the past two years, Extreme East Ice City’s western campaign claimed the territories of five states of Daning; the Iron Banner Gang also rose up, practically controlling several states; and Qin Muge had recently returned to the North, reclaiming control over the millions of elite border army of Bing, You, Ji, Jue Four States.

Originally prosperous and harmonious, Daning had, in just two short years, fallen into a perilous situation surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Not only the current Divine Sect school, but also forces like the Divine Machine Tower, Tianji Pavilion, Killing Tower, Rebirth Heaven have all bet on Chu Xisheng; even those noble families who shared the country’s fate have begun secretly sending their offspring to the Iron Banner Gang behind His Majesty’s back.

They claimed their banished family members were acting on their own, or sent individuals to infiltrate the Iron Banner Gang for the court’s prosperity and stability, but truly thought His Majesty was blind and deaf to their schemes?

And all of this would be reversed tomorrow!

Once His Majesty seizes the virgin yin of Ween Zhiyi and dissolves Extreme East Ice City, Xiaao Hongchen really wanted to see their reactions!

Xiaao Hongchen couldn’t help but think of his junior sister, Ji Qianqian.

A cold gleam appeared in his eyes.

He didn’t know what method Chu Xisheng used to lift the memory seal on Ji Qianqian, making her wholeheartedly serve him.

Ji Qianqian, the last remnant of the Divine Heart Ji Family, had fired an arrow harming His Majesty; once peace was restored, her survival was impossible.

Xiaao Hongchen could only settle this account with Chu Xisheng, looking forward to personally beheading Chu Xisheng.

This was both revenge for Ji Qianqian and closure for himself.

Xiaao Hongchen deeply inhaled, suppressing the displeasure in his chest.

He turned back to face the people inside the temple, especially the sorcerers: "Everyone, stay vigilant, don’t be careless!"

The closer to success, the more caution is necessary.

They must not expose themselves on the eve of success.

But at the moment he turned, his face changed dramatically. The seven sorcerers, who were collectively using magic to obscure the place, stood there woodenly.
