Chapter 443: Has My Moon Shadow Dynasty Fallen?
At the gates of Longxi City in the Western Desert.
The Moon Shadow Blade Emperor, who had been calmly blocking Jun Aoshi’s attacks, suddenly paled, his expression filled with panic.
As the ruler of a dynasty, he had always been blessed with the dynasty fortune. But now, he suddenly felt that mysterious and profound power of fortune vanish.
It was as if he had been stripped of his throne, and he could no longer sense the Moon Shadow Dragon Qi.
Has my position as the Holy Emperor been taken away?
Although he didn’t understand the reason, he knew that it must be related to that kid surnamed Ye!
“Damn it!”
The Moon Shadow Blade Emperor could no longer afford to stay. With a single slash, he sent Jun Aoshi flying and turned around to leave.
Less than a quarter of an hour had passed since Jun Aoshi had smashed the Mother-Child Jade Pendant.
Jun Aoshi stared in astonishment at the Moon Shadow Sacred Emperor, who seemed to be fleeing as if his life depended on it. He was completely confused.
What on earth did that kid do?
Did he rob his treasury or abduct the Empress?
But even if he had done both, it shouldn’t have caused such a reaction!
Jun Aoshi couldn’t help but let out a wry smile, feeling both disappointed and lonely.
It looks like I’m not going to die after all.
In Chaoyue City.
Lin Fengmian strolled leisurely into the main hall of the Holy Emperor’s Palace and stood in front of the throne that countless people had dreamed of.
“The Emperor’s throne is changing hands. Today, I’ll try to see what it feels like to be the Sacred Emperor!”
He boldly sat on the dragon throne with dragon qi swirling behind him, exuding an air of arrogance.
Lin Fengmian looked down at the imperial guards who were still charging in fearlessly and smiled playfully.
“Why don’t you kneel before your emperor?”
One of them shouted, “Traitor! How dare you try to usurp the throne! Kill him!”
Lin Fengmian’s eyes turned cold, and he said indifferently, “Disrespecting your emperor is punishable by death!”
The Moon Shadow Dragon Qi behind him roared, and the guards instantly exploded into a mist of blood, leaving the others stunned.
Why is our own dragon qi protecting this usurper?
Lin Fengmian had not gone to all this trouble just to strike a pose or to enjoy the thrill of being the Holy Emperor.
He sat on the dragon throne, resting his head on one hand, and spoke in a deep, commanding voice, “Subjects of the Moon Shadow Dynasty, heed my command!”
“Your Emperor is engaged in a fierce battle with a powerful enemy. The invaders are formidable, and I need your strength to repel them. Come out at once!”
The imperial guards below felt their scalps tingle as Lin Fengmian’s voice echoed in their minds.
Mobilizing the power of the dynasty’s people is something only the Holy Emperor can do!
Has the Moon Shadow Dynasty really changed hands?
At the same time, Lin Fengmian’s voice, amplified by the Dragon Throne and the Imperial Dragon Qi, resonated in the hearts of all the people of the Moon Shadow Dynasty.
The commoners, unaware of the truth, eagerly contributed their strength. After all, how many of them had ever heard the Holy Emperor’s voice?
The civil and military officials of the Moon Shadow Dynasty were aware of the deception, but they were powerless to resist.
Those who eat the emperor’s food must serve the emperor’s cause and bear the emperor’s burdens.
As subjects of the Moon Shadow Dynasty, they had no choice but to contribute their strength, even if they did not want to.
In the Western Desert, the Moon Shadow Cultivators who were attacking the city were forcibly drained of their power, leaving them significantly weakened.
Sitting on the dragon throne, Lin Fengmian felt an immense surge of power gathering within him, his strength skyrocketing.
The imperial guards below were terrified by this bizarre scene. Driven by desperation, one of them charged forward with a spear.
“Kill this demon!”
Lin Fengmian’s eyes turned cold, and he smiled. “Thank you for your strength. As a reward, I’ll send you on your way.”
He snapped his fingers, and the charging guards were reduced to ashes along with the entire hall. Only Lin Fengmian and the dragon throne remained.
Looking at the Moon Shadow Dragon Qi, which was weakened but still powerful, Lin Fengmian let out a helpless smile.
Lin Fengmian cleared his throat, switching back to his normal voice, ready to deliver a bombshell to the Moon Shadow Dynasty.
“People of the Moon Shadow Dynasty, listen up! The Moon Shadow Holy Emperor, aware of his grave sins and ashamed to continue ruling, has issued an edict of self-reproach and abdicated the throne to me.”
“Although I am not a man of political talent, after careful consideration, I have decided to dissolve the Moon Shadow Dynasty, effective immediately. A general amnesty is hereby declared!”
“All vassal states will regain their independence. The people shall be exempt from taxes for a thousand years. All prisons throughout the land shall be opened immediately. Do not delay!”
As Lin Fengmian spouted this nonsense, the Moon Shadow Dragon Qi around him let out a pained roar, but it could do nothing to stop him.
Upon hearing Lin Fengmian’s words, the entire Moon Shadow Dynasty was thrown into chaos. Many people collapsed to the ground, their minds blank.
The Moon Shadow Emperor has surrendered?
He abdicated the throne?
The civil and military officials of the Moon Shadow Dynasty were filled with grief and indignation, remembering the past treachery of the Moon Shadow Blade Emperor.
We were ready to fight to the death, Your Majesty. Why did you surrender first?
The common people, unaware of the truth, cried out in despair and fear.
As more and more people believed Lin Fengmian’s words, the Moon Shadow Dynasty Fortune Dragon writhed in agony, its fortune rapidly dissipating.
The Moon Shadow Blade Emperor, desperately rushing back, saw the dazzling lights shooting into the sky as Lin Fengmian drew on the power of the dynasty. He was completely stunned.
I’m right here! Where are you all going?
Oh no, I’ve been replaced!
But that wasn’t the end of it. Soon, he heard Lin Fengmian’s voice announcing his abdication and the dissolution of the Moon Shadow Dynasty.
The Moon Shadow Blade Emperor was completely stunned. He couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood in frustration.
Has my Moon Shadow Dynasty fallen?
I’ve surrendered?
“Ye Xuefeng, I swear that I will never share heaven with you!”
His eyes bloodshot, he took a deep breath and began burning his essence blood, pushing himself to the limit to return.
If he let that kid continue wreaking havoc, his Moon Shadow Dynasty would truly be destroyed.
In Longxi City, the moment the Moon Shadow Emperor left, Jun Yunshang received Jun Aoshi’s message.
Seeing the leaderless Moon Shadow army whose strength had been greatly drained, she waved her hand decisively.
“All troops, attack! Kill them!”
A nearby general hurriedly tried to dissuade her. “Your Majesty, no! This is a trap!”
Jun Yunshang ignored them. She picked up the drumsticks and struck the war drum with all her might. Her red robes fluttered as the thunderous drumbeats echoed in all directions.
“Soldiers of Junyan, obey your emperor’s command! Charge out of the city and kill!”
Seeing this, Zhao Ban ran over, hoisted a horn, took a deep breath, and blew it with all his strength.
Hearing the war drums and the call of the horn, the soldiers of the Junyan Empire rushed out of the city like a pack of unleashed tigers.
With the Moon Shadow Blade Emperor leaving without a word and Lin Fengmian announcing the dissolution of the Moon Shadow Dynasty, the morale of the Moon Shadow Army had completely collapsed.
Seeing the Junyan Empire’s forces charging at them, they were terrified and fled in panic.
Jun Yunshang coldly declared, “The Moon Shadow Blade Emperor has surrendered! The Moon Shadow Dynasty has fallen! Why are you still resisting?”
The Junyan soldiers echoed the cry that the Moon Shadow Dynasty had fallen, further shattering the enemy’s morale and spreading fear among their ranks.
Amidst the thundering war drums, the figure in red robes dancing on the city walls became a nightmare that would forever haunt their memories.
Even though the remaining Moon Shadow generals tried to maintain order, the army, already terrified of Jun Yunshang, was like a flock of startled birds.
Although the Moon Shadow Dynasty’s forces were not outnumbered by the Junyan Empire, their strength had been greatly diminished by Lin Fengmian’s power drain.
With Jun Aoshi and others joining the battle, the leaderless Moon Shadow army couldn’t organize an effective defense.
Under the moonlight, they felt as if the Junyan Empire soldiers were everywhere, their shadows flickering like vengeful ghosts.
The Moon Shadow Army collapsed like a mountain of sand and fled in disarray. The Junyan Empire pursued them for a thousand miles, dealing them a crushing defeat.
