Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 299 - 297: The Fall of the Vermilion Bird Imperial Capital

Chapter 299: Chapter 297: The Fall of the Vermilion Bird Imperial Capital

The falling snow around became quieter, still descending but not harming anyone.

Among everyone present, except for those killed by the bizarre methods of the First Suzaku Emperor, Xia Feng surprisingly hadn’t killed a single person.

Seeing this scene, the people below felt even more resentful towards the First Suzaku Emperor.

Even those former Suzaku Emperors who had originally supported him began to have doubts.

Xia Feng stroked his chin, with a hint of confusion on his face: "A mutation of the Beast Taming Power?"

"It seems somewhat like the Great Dao of Charm, but something feels off, what kind of Great Dao is it?"

The royal family of the Suzaku Empire mostly cultivate the Great Dao of Fire Attribute, with a few practicing the Great Dao of Beast Taming.

But the power of contract just now was different from when Xia Feng had contracted the Nine Evils, it seemed the ability to forcibly control was stronger.

It was as if the First Suzaku Emperor wanted to make those people die, and they inexplicably died suddenly.

Speaking of this, Xia Feng recalled that the soldiers of the Death Empire and Demon Empire also inexplicably exploded themselves.

Is the feeling of not being able to control one’s own body the same as these people?

Xia Feng gestured to the soldiers behind him, signaling them to surround the Suzaku Empire, dealing with the disobedient ones immediately.

These soldiers were initially hesitant, but upon seeing that the Suzaku Empire showed no signs of resistance, they grew excited.

Taking this opportunity, Xia Feng smiled and looked at the First Suzaku Emperor: "Zhu Yongsheng?"

Zhu Yongsheng’s face twitched; just looking at his name, it’s clear that his greatest wish in life was immortality, yet now, falling into Xia Feng’s hands, it’s probably hard for him to die peacefully of old age.

Xia Feng thought for a moment, then used his Divine Sense to explore the power of contract.

Then he saw Zhu Yongsheng on the ground, clutching his head and howling madly.

The more Divine Sense Xia Feng poured in, the greater the pain Zhu Yongsheng seemed to be in.

He hesitated for a moment, then used all of his Divine Sense to break the power of contract.

He completely saw through the contents of the contract, and as a result of backlash, Zhu Yongsheng suddenly started bleeding from all seven apertures.

His arms trembled slightly, as if he still wanted to do something, but with a frown, Xia Feng looked at him, only to see that Zhu Yongsheng had already lost his breath.

To Xia Feng’s surprise, with Zhu Yongsheng’s death, almost two-thirds of the high-ranking officials of the Suzaku Empire suddenly died.

The number of deaths surprised even Xia Feng.

Zhu Yongsheng was crazy, wasn’t he?

Never mind a Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign trying to use a slave contract to bind a demigod.

But given his age, forming so many contracts and controlling so many lives.

Zhu Yongsheng could die of old age at any time, so how could these people dare to link their lives to his?

Xia Feng couldn’t understand, and those who followed the First Suzaku Emperor to their deaths probably didn’t understand either.

There was a moment of silence and unrest among the city’s soldiers; they didn’t know what had happened, only that many high-ranking officials of the Empire suddenly died.

They assumed Xia Feng had suddenly attacked, so they appeared frightened.

Xia Feng didn’t explain, just sighed and directly flew into the main hall of the Suzaku Imperial Capital.

Those who remained alive vaguely understood something, and their expressions became more respectful and reverent.

They didn’t want to resist the Suzaku Emperor, but the Suzaku Emperor’s contract was both hidden and vicious.

Many people were victimized because their Spiritual Power couldn’t surpass the Suzaku Emperor. By the time they realized it, the contract was already in place; even if they were unwilling, there was no other way.

Zhu Yongsheng’s Divine Sense was somewhat abnormal, two to three times stronger than an ordinary Martial Sovereign’s.

So he thought of using this method to trick Xia Feng, but he didn’t expect Xia Feng to have almost no weaknesses.

Even using the power of contract at such close range, betting with all his Divine Sense, Zhu Yongsheng still lost the gamble.

This is how it is on the battlefield; either you win or you are defeated.

The people below were relieved not to be taken by Zhu Yongsheng, yet worried whether Xia Feng would abandon them, the old members of the Suzaku Empire, after taking power.

Xia Feng didn’t think about it too much, only impatiently waited for all the soldiers to be settled before summoning the commander of this batch of soldiers.

Compared to Gu Sha and Chen Hongyu, Wang Liangcai was much slower, but these soldiers were gathered from various countries, so his unfamiliarity in commanding them was understandable.

Previously, Xia Feng didn’t mind, even occasionally feeling Chu Yue and Feng Yu were a bit redundant.

At this moment, waiting for the generals to report, he instead felt it was necessary to have a Guard by his side.

Unfortunately, the other countries behind didn’t realize this as much.

Wang Liangcai knew he was slow, and when entering the main hall, his expression was a bit nervous.

There were quite a few high-ranking officials from the Suzaku Empire either kneeling or sitting around, but Xia Feng didn’t take a look at them, his gaze only rested on Wang Liangcai, substantial and sharp.

"Emperor’s Son, mission accomplished without disgrace, the Suzaku Imperial Capital is fully under control."

Xia Feng looked at the half-kneeling Wang Liangcai and nodded: "Very good, reorganize for two days, then encircle the allied forces of the Summer Empire with the Li Huo Empire."

Although the news of Great Xia capturing the Suzaku Imperial Capital might not spread quickly, it doesn’t prevent him from proactively surrounding the remaining soldiers of the Southern Barbarian Empire.

There are many snakes and insects in the Southern Barbarian; if he can solve these million soldiers outside, many lives can be spared.

After thinking for a while, Xia Feng found nothing missing and motioned Wang Liangcai to leave.

Regarding the remaining people in the Suzaku Imperial Capital, he couldn’t be bothered to probe them one by one, just roughly questioned them.

Those whose expressions were shifty and evasive were sent back to Great Xia for re-education with the army; those who seemed wise and for the people were left to assist the new controller.

The former Emperors of Great Xia already didn’t have the time for secluded cultivation, almost all being stirred out by Xia Feng to manage various cities.

In short, they have to hold on for a while, train the younger ones below, then be able to let go of responsibilities.

Seeing the main hall largely cleared, Xia Feng waved his hand, and the clouds hanging in mid-air also dissipated with the wind.

The city’s residents, unaware that they had brushed with death, all looked out at the Great Xia army reorganizing the city.

Even though it was a newly organized unit, they had learned the basic requirement of not harming civilians.

Xia Feng’s Divine Sense roughly scanned the city, then found an unused palace to rest in.

Since taking the Suzaku required a few days of recuperation, Xia Feng didn’t set up camp outside the city this time.

The main reason being, without Feng Yu and Chu Yue guarding the door, he felt a bit uneasy entering the Dream Realm Pearl.
