Take Off the Disguise

"Your Highness Li Luo!"

Millions of soldiers collectively surrendered, kneeling before Li Luo one after another.

With the surrender of the massive army, Zhao Dezhu, Bai Wuchang and Luo Yi also stopped their attacks.

Li Luo looked at the surrendering soldiers and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If these obstinate soldiers had refused to surrender, he was also prepared to slaughter them all.

Fortunately, everything was going according to his plan.

In the army, all the generals under King Wu had previously fallen under Zhao Dezhu's Illusory Fire of Heaven.

Therefore, Li Luo easily took control of the rest of the army.

"Everyone, listen! Bury the dead, then immediately follow this prince to the Imperial Capital!"

Li Luo issued the order.

King Wu's million-strong army moved upon hearing the order.

They quickly handled the bodies of their fallen comrades.

Then they continued on their original course towards the Imperial Capital.

However, this million-man army had changed masters overnight...

Three days passed swiftly.

Within these short three days, all the commoners of the Liyang Dynasty were focused on the Imperial Capital.

Because the massive armies of the Beiliang King and King Wu were both approaching the capital.

Needless to say, everyone in the world understood that the final battle between the Beiliang King and King Wu would take place in the Imperial Capital.

Whoever could become the new master of the Liyang Dynasty would be determined in this final battle.

As for the Liyang court, the common people had long forgotten about it.

The incompetent emperor and corrupt officials who exploited the people.

If the court was capable, there wouldn't have been a rebellion by the kings in the first place.

Let alone sitting by idly after the kings rose up in revolt.

This corrupt and useless court,

the Liyang Dynasty's commoners had long lost all hope in it.

Now many hoped that the winner between the Beiliang King and King Wu would end the war and establish a brand new dynasty!

Among them, the commoners of Liyang were divided into two factions.

One faction supported Beiliang, the other supported King Wu.

Those who supported Beiliang were mostly people from the Western Province and Beiliang.

But after Beiliang defeated the invading Nanyun Kingdom and recovered lost lands,

even commoners in King Wu's territory began to support Beiliang.

Now among the populace, support for Beiliang had surpassed that for King Wu.

Inside the Imperial Capital, the commoners learned that the armies of the Beiliang King and King Wu would arrive today.

The capital would become the final battleground for their contest.

They became fearful and uneasy.

Many began gathering in the streets, openly supporting the Beiliang King and King Wu, and even cursing the current court.

Because just last night.

The previously indifferent Liyang Emperor had issued an edict forbidding anyone from leaving the capital.

The next day, the city gates were shut and heavily guarded.

At this time, within the imperial palace.

The civil and military officials learned that the two kings' armies would arrive today.

Like the commoners, they also became fearful and uneasy.

Each pondering which king they should support when the time comes.

After all, Liyang was about to fall!

"Your Majesty has arrived..."

At this moment, the voice of the chief eunuch Wei rang out in the hall.

However, the civil and military officials no longer had the mind to care about Qin Yun.

He was just a doomed ruler of a falling nation.

In their impression, this foolish emperor was probably still indulging with women even as death approached.

Under the cold stares of the officials,

Qin Yun arrived before the dragon throne in golden dragon robes.

At this moment, Qin Yun dropped his disguise.

An aura of terror began emanating from his body, filling the entire hall.

The officials were shocked.

Today's Qin Yun was completely different than before.

"Ministers, why do you not kneel before Us?"

Qin Yun's expression was icy, his dragon face filled with great anger.

Feeling the terrifying spiritual power fluctuations released from Qin Yun's body, some officials with cultivation trembled and quickly knelt down.

"We pay our respects to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, ten thousand years..."

Seeing the frightened looks on these generals' faces, the civil officials' hearts shuddered as they looked towards Qin Yun, cold sweat flowing.

"Boom!"

But before they could react,

Qin Yun's body shook.

A terrifying pressure erupted from him, forcing all the civil officials to the ground, unable to move.

At this moment, all their faces were filled with terror.

"Your loyal subjects pay our respects to Your Majesty!"

Countless officials' expressions changed drastically as they hurried to bow to Qin Yun.

Facing such a drastic change in Qin Yun,

some intelligent officials suddenly realized that his previous behavior was all an act!

As this thought flashed by, many broke out in cold sweat, their faces pale.

How deep Your Majesty's schemes run!

He had deceived the whole world!

"Humph!"

"Come, where have the two kings' armies reached?!"

Qin Yun's gaze was cold as he ignored the officials.

He would deal with these turncoats after subduing the two kings.

"Rep...reporting..."

"Your Majesty, the Beiliang army has arrived. King Wu's army has just entered the capital's borders."

"However...according to scout reports, King Wu's figure was not seen amongst the army..."

A forbidden guard in golden armor entered and replied kneeling on the ground.

Hearing this, a strange look flashed in Qin Yun's eyes. He couldn't help but feel puzzled.

King Wu was not with the army?

Could he have already entered the capital earlier?

Qin Yun did not think more of it. In any case, the Beiliang King and King Wu would die today.

And their armies would be back under imperial control.

"Are the forbidden guards assembled?"

Qin Yun's brows rose as he asked.

"Your Majesty, the five hundred thousand forbidden guards have long been assembled, just awaiting your order!"

The guard looked at Qin Yun with a fanatical gaze.

"Good!"

"Hahaha..."

"Ministers, if you're interested, you may accompany Us out to take a look..."

Qin Yun waved his sleeve and laughed coldly at the civil and military officials in the hall before leaving with Eunuch Wei...

The officials looked at each other in dismay before following along.

Once outside the hall, the officials' jaws dropped at the sight before them.

Forbidden guards in golden armor filled the square and even the eaves of buildings.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

The forbidden guards knelt in unison, an aura of terror instantly surging skyward.

The imperial palace was suddenly shrouded in gloomy clouds, oppressive and stifling.

Seeing the city filled with golden armored soldiers,

the generals by Qin Yun's side sucked in a breath of cold air.

The fighting spirit of these forbidden guards had actually taken physical form!

The manifestation of fighting spirit meant that this army could condense an Army Soul!!

It was known that in the entire Liyang Dynasty, only the Beiliang Iron Cavalry of the Beiliang King could form an Army Soul.

At this moment, the civil and military officials couldn't help but shudder at Qin Yun's disguise.

Could Liyang really fall today?

The officials became uncertain in their hearts.

Seeing the changes in the officials' expressions, Qin Yun coldly laughed. He then looked towards the five hundred thousand forbidden guards.

"Beiliang King, since you arrived first, I shall start with you..."

"Let's see if your Dragon Demon Army Soul is stronger, or if My Dragon Qi Army Soul prevails..."

Qin Yun looked towards the city gates, anticipation filling his eyes...
