Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 466 - 434 Qin Qing Returns

The battle outside Luochuan Imperial City continued.

In the past two days, several large-scale battles had erupted consecutively.

Inside and outside of the imperial city, fires of war raged, with gongs and drums shaking the heavens.

The Northern Pass army, led by Zhao Danchen, and the West Gate army, led by Li Hetai, launched their final fierce attacks on the imperial city.

Meanwhile, Prince Qin Shen of the south was tasked with guarding the rear, to prevent enemy reinforcements from launching a surprise attack from behind and thus avoiding a situation where the allied forces would be attacked from both front and back.

On the third day,

this day was the one the Royal Family had decided to execute Zhao Tianyin and the members of Qin Qing’s clan.

On this day, the attacks by the Northern Pass and West Gate armies were particularly intense.

With a thunderous blast, the great eastern gate of the imperial city was finally breached.

The mighty army streamed in, slaughtering their way into the imperial city.

It appeared that the entire situation was leaning in favor of the Border Pass army.

In fact, many had already begun to discuss that the times were changing! — The Qian Country was about to perish, and a new dynasty was set to emerge...

However, just as the great army charged into the imperial city, news suddenly came from the rear: Zhao Danchen, Dong Zhongjin, and others had been captured alive, and even the West Gate’s Commander-in-chief, Li Hetai, had been seized!

And the one who captured Zhao Danchen and Li Hetai was none other than Prince Qin Shen, who had joined forces with them to attack Luochuan!

Simultaneously, numerous powerhouses from within the palace emerged, with hundreds of Nascent Soul Realm and Golden Core Realm masters leading the charge, leading the imperial city’s City Defense Imperial Guard in a counterattack. The major generals of the Northern Pass and West Gate armies were taken prisoner. Without their leaders, the situation reversed instantly...

Just as the imperial city seemed to have been taken, victory, in the blink of an eye, shifted to the side of the Qin Family of the Royal Family.

Outside Luochuan Imperial City.

Within the camp of the three armies.

At this moment, Zhao Danchen, Li Hetai and others were all tied up and being escorted away.

Who was Zhao Danchen?

He was the Great Commander of the Northern Pass army. Apart from Prince Zhao Tianyin of Zhennan, it was Zhao Danchen who called the shots.

The status of Li Hetai in the West Gate was not much different from that of Zhao Tianyin in the Northern Pass.

With these two under control, the two armies naturally ceased their drumming and lowered their flags instantly.

"Qin Shen, you treacherous villain!" Zhao Danchen glared, looking at Qin Shen in front of him.

Qin Shen, on the other hand, had a cold smile on his face, his hands clasped behind his back, leisurely observing Zhao Danchen and Li Hetai, "General Zhao, General Li, you must realize that this land belongs to the Qin. You thought that by joining forces with me to attack the imperial city, we would seize the great power of this world? Do you really think I’m foolish?"

"Qin Shen, if you didn’t want to join us in changing the reign of this world, why bother marching with us from the beginning, fighting your way to this point?" Li Hetai shouted angrily, and then it seemed he realized something and cried out angrily, "I get it now, Qin Shen, you treacherous scoundrel. You aim to control the power of this world alone, thinking at this step, you could take down the Royal Family, just to avoid sharing the spoils with us?"

"However, Qin Shen, you’re perhaps overthinking it. We had no such intentions at all. All we wanted was to rescue General Zhao. As for the world, we have no interest in contending with you!"

"Hahahaha..." Qin Shen couldn’t help but laugh again, "Li Hetai, you’re indeed a blunt man. To this very moment, you still can’t guess the motive?"

"General Li! It’s likely that Qin Shen had been in cahoots with the Royal Family from the beginning. Claiming to join us in leading the army to attack Luochuan was probably just to get us to bring all our forces here, and then to capture us in one fell swoop, taking control of our entire army to remove future threats once and for all!" Zhao Danchen said in a cold voice.

"Zhao General is the clever one!" Qin Shen reached out towards Zhao Danchen, giving him a thumbs up, "Like I said, this world is ruled by the Qin. You’ve been in the Northern Pass and West Gate, each vying for power and commanding your own troops for so many years. Of course, we had to think of something to take back military power from you, hence we resorted to this method!"

"Excellent, what a move to lure the snake out of its hole, to pull the rug from under their feet!" Li Hetai gritted his teeth with burning eyes, yet he knew the tide had turned against them.

At this time, the City Defense Imperial Guards of Luochuan Imperial City had already counterattacked.

Given that both Li Hetai and Zhao Danchen, the commanders of the Western and Northern Army respectively, were now under control, their forces naturally lost their capacity to resist.

Following that, more than a dozen powerful figures descended from the sky.

These were mighty experts from within the imperial palace, including Nascent Soul Realm elders like Elder Hua and Elder Chiyang, who had been in the Nascent Soul Realm for quite some time. There were also Golden Core Realm Martial Dao Masters like Master Ziji, Master Leiming, and Master Litian, all long-established figures of the Martial Dao.

"Prince!"

As Elder Hua and the others landed, they nodded towards Qin Shen.

"I have seen all the esteemed elders and masters," Qin Shen responded with a smile. Before these Martial Dao elders, Qin Shen didn’t dare to be arrogant, not even the reigning Emperor Qin Sheng, who had to treat these Martial Dao Elders with the utmost respect, let alone himself.

"Well done. With this operation, we have captured all the traitors in a single sweep. From now on, there will be no more hidden threats in the world," Elder Hua said with a nod and a smile before his gaze fell upon Zhao Danchen and the others, sneering, "At noon today, it will be time for Zhao Tianyin’s execution. You all will have the honor of accompanying him on the journey to the underworld; it will be less lonely for him!"

With a wave from the elder, the Imperial Guards immediately charged forward, taking Zhao Danchen away.

Zhao Danchen clenched his teeth, his face filled with unwillingness.

"Damn it, we thought the grand plan was within reach, yet we never expected to fail due to Qin Shen... It’s a pity, Great General, we can’t rescue you now!" Zhao Danchen looked towards the palace with eyes nearly bursting from their sockets.

Above the city walls.

Qin De, Qin Zheng, and many other princes were all standing there.

Additionally, there was Sikong Tu, the head of the City Defense Imperial Guards, and Mu Hongtu, who stood behind the crowd.

At this moment, Mu Hongtu had a smile on his face; he believed he had won.

Having arrived from Tianjue City to Luochuan and now becoming an Imperial Court Official, he saw himself as a winner in life, with a future full of endless possibilities.

His daughter, Mu Yunlan, was held in high regard by a mighty figure from the Ancient Country, taken as a direct disciple to compete in the Ancient Country. Moreover, with her Martial Soul possessing a very special potential, she would undoubtedly surpass Qin Qing in the future.

And as for Qin Qing... should he appear now, he would be greeted with certain death.

Just as Qin De and the other princes and ministers believed the situation was completely under control, happily chatting away, a long cry of a divine eagle suddenly pierced the sky.

"Yu Yu—"

The divine eagle swooped down from the heavens.

Astride the eagle, Zhuiri Ancestor stood at the forefront, with none other than Qin Qing directly behind him.

Furthermore, Qin Yi and Qin Shuang were also among them. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Qin Qing!"

"It’s him!"

At this moment, everyone’s gaze brightened.

Zhao Danchen and Li Hetai, among others, were looking at Qin Qing.

Above the city walls, Qin De, Qin Zheng, Mu Hongtu, and others were also fixing their eyes on Qin Qing.

Even within the imperial palace, Qin Sheng, Qin Yun, and others had also noticed Qin Qing on the back of the divine eagle.

Qin Qing had truly returned!
