Terran Guardian - Chapter 3855

Chapter 3831 Flying Cloud Immortal City

Shen Changqing stood in mid-air, gazing at the magnificent immortal city before him. With a mere wave of his hand, he suppressed the city’s array, causing it to crumble inch by inch.

This array, powerful enough to withstand even a top-tier Immortal Emperor, couldn’t withstand a single breath before collapsing completely.

Behind him,

the cultivators of the Seven Profound Dao Sect remained unfazed, gradually becoming accustomed to this sight.

In their eyes, their sect leader was practically invincible.

How could the so-called immortal city array possibly withstand him in the slightest?

Seeing the array shatter, Shen Changqing raised his hand, about to order the destruction of the city, when a cultivator suddenly appeared, his voice filled with panic.

“Please hold back, Your Excellency!”

“Who are you?”

Shen Changqing’s indifferent gaze fell upon the Flying Cloud City Lord before him. He could discern the other’s cultivation level at a glance.

Peak Immortal Emperor!

Having opened up the Nine Directions Inner Universe!

This level of strength was not weak, but that was all.

The Flying Cloud City Lord hurriedly cupped his hands: “This humble Daoist, Wenren Chen, the Flying Cloud City Lord, pays respects to Senior. May I ask your

esteemed name?” “Wenren Chen? You have no need to know my name. After all, I’m a dead man; knowing too much is meaningless!”

Shen Changqing didn’t answer the Flying Cloud City Lord’s question, but his words sent a shiver down the latter’s spine.

Seeing that Shen Changqing was about to attack, Wenren Chen dared not hesitate any longer, bowing deeply and lowering himself to the lowest position.

“This humble Daoist is willing to surrender. I hope Senior will spare my life and that of all the cultivators of Flying Cloud Immortal City. Flying Cloud Immortal City is willing to follow Senior’s lead!”

Having said this, Wenren Chen remained bowed, not daring to rise even slightly.

Shen Changqing looked at the man before him without speaking.

Time passed slowly.

The air gradually solidified.

Sweat beaded on Wenren Chen’s forehead and back; his body was stiff. All sounds in the world seemed to disappear, except for the pounding of his own heart.

He didn’t know how much time had passed.

Shen Changqing finally spoke.

“How many cultivators are there in Feiyun Immortal City?”

This question

broke the silence and made Wenren Chen instinctively breathe a sigh of relief. He then straightened up and respectfully replied,

“Reporting to Senior, Feiyun Immortal City has approximately 13.6 million cultivators, including 700,000 city-guarding cultivators and twelve Immortal Emperors!”

Wenren Chen dared not conceal anything and directly stated the entire situation of Feiyun Immortal City.

The 13.6 million cultivators

naturally included other ordinary cultivators.

In fact,

there were no ordinary cultivators in Chishan Immortal City, only the city-guarding army belonging to Qin Xiaohe.

From Qin Xiaohe’s memories, the reason for this situation was that the original ordinary cultivators of Chishan Immortal City had long been slaughtered by the enemy, turning them into Heavenly Creation.

Although

those cultivators were considered subjects of the Immortal Qin Dynasty,

that was only in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

In the ancient immortal realm, so-called subjects and commoners were utterly insignificant.

In the eyes of many cultivators, these subjects and commoners were simply walking manifestations of the Dao, and such acts of self-destruction were, in Shen Changqing’s view, definitely not isolated incidents.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, his gaze remaining fixed on Wenren Chen.

To be honest,

Shen Changqing’s initial plan was to annihilate Feiyun Immortal City.

But Wenren Chen’s early surrender surprised him somewhat, though upon reflection, it made sense.

After all, the strength of the Seven Profound Dao Sect was not something Feiyun Immortal City could contend with; if they didn’t surrender, they would face certain death.

Seven hundred thousand soldiers!

Such a force was not weak.

Thinking of this,

Shen Changqing looked at Wenren Chen and said, “If you want to live, I will give you that chance. Open your mind and let me place a restriction on you, then you can live.”

“Yes!”

Wenren Chen didn’t hesitate at all, immediately opening his mind and allowing Shen Changqing to place the restriction.

In his view, it was perfectly normal for the other side to believe his offer of surrender and thus set up a restriction to control him.

If the other side had done nothing and easily believed his surrender, Wenren Chen would have suspected that they were only trying to appease him temporarily before carrying out their killing.

Therefore,

the moment Shen Changqing set up the restriction, Wenren Chen’s previously anxious heart completely relaxed.

Since the other side had set up a restriction, it meant that his life had been spared.

“Your Excellency!”

At this moment, Wenren Chen completely regarded himself as Shen Changqing’s subordinate, not the former Lord of Feiyun City.

Shen Changqing said, “Let’s go. I am going to Feiyun Immortal City. In addition, all the Immortal Emperors in this city must come to pay their respects. Remember, all the Immortal Emperors!”

He deliberately emphasized the meaning when he said “all the Immortal Emperors.” Wenren Chen was only slightly taken aback before he understood.

“Your subordinate obeys!”

…

The cultivators of the Seven Profound Dao Sect watched the scene quietly, many of them showing some surprise on their faces.

They hadn’t expected Feiyun Immortal City to surrender without a fight.

However,

Feiyun Immortal City’s surrender wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Although they couldn’t destroy Feiyun Immortal City and reap the rewards of Heaven’s Creation this time, its surrender was enough to greatly enhance their strength.

The danger of the next battle would naturally be reduced.

Soon,

Wenren Chen had arranged for all the cultivators of the Seven Profound Dao Sect to be settled, and at the same time, following Shen Changqing’s instructions, he had all the Immortal Emperors go to the City Lord’s Mansion.

In less than half an hour, all the Immortal Emperors had gathered there.

But the expressions on the faces of each Immortal Emperor were subtle, and their eyes held deep fear as they looked at the figure above.

They didn’t know anything about this person, but one thing was clear: this being had just destroyed Chishan Immortal City and then shattered Feiyun Immortal City’s protective formation with a single blow; he must be an ancient being who had reached the pinnacle of immortality.

In front of such a being, the Immortal Emperors were merely larger ants.

That’s why.

So when Wenren Chen sent the message, none of the Immortal Emperors dared not come.

They weren’t doing it out of respect for Wenren Chen, but rather to give face to Shen Changqing.

“Reporting to Your Majesty, all twenty-one Immortal Emperors of Feiyun Immortal City are here!”

Wenren Chen said respectfully.

The reason there were twenty-one Immortal Emperors was because these Immortal Emperors weren’t just powerful figures from the Imperial Dynasty, but also included reclusive powerhouses who originally resided in Feiyun Immortal City.

However, now, all these Immortal Emperors were present.

This was because Shen Changqing had stated that all Immortal Emperors should come to pay their respects.

The implied meaning in his words was clear to everyone, and Wenren Chen naturally complied.

Shen Changqing glanced at him, then looked at the many Immortal Emperors below, his expression indifferent: “I am the Seven Profound Dao Lord, the master of the Seven Profound Dao Sect!”

Hearing this,

many Immortal Emperors exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Seven Profound Dao Lord?

Seven Profound Dao Sect?

Such titles and powers were completely unfamiliar to them.

Shen Changqing said, “It’s normal that you haven’t heard of my name. Not long ago, Wu Jue, the Great General of the Immortal Qin Dynasty, led three million Zhen Tian Army soldiers to attack the Seven Profound Dao Sect, but they were defeated by me.

Since the Immortal Qin Dynasty initiated the war against me, I certainly cannot sit idly by and wait to die.

I have already destroyed Chishan Immortal City, and this time I originally intended to destroy Feiyun Immortal City as well, but Wenren Chen surrendered first, so I have decided to give you all a chance to live!”

Shen Changqing’s words shocked all the Immortal Emperors, their faces filled with horror.

Wu Jue!

Zhen Tian Army!

Whether it was the former or the latter, their names were legendary in the Immortal Qin Dynasty.

The former was a top expert of the Immortal Qin Dynasty, having reached the semi-saint realm for many years, and had fought for the Immortal Dynasty in countless battles, making countless contributions. As for the Zhen Tian Army, it was the elite of the Immortal Dynasty, with terrifying strength.

But now,

both Wu Jue and the Zhen Tian Army had suffered a crushing defeat.

The shock of such news to them was unimaginable.

No one doubted Shen Changqing’s words, for not long ago, news of the annihilation of the Zhen Tian Army and the death of Wu Jue had been circulating.

Although Qin Xiaoxuan had deliberately suppressed the matter, some things are impossible to keep secret forever.

However, most cultivators were skeptical of the news.

After all,

Wu Jue was incredibly powerful, and the Zhen Tian Army had a distinguished record; the idea of their deaths was hard to believe.

But now it was different.

Shen Changqing’s words undoubtedly confirmed the matter.

On the other side,

Wenren Chen’s heart pounded faster, a sense of relief washing over him, causing him to unconsciously wipe away imaginary cold sweat from his forehead.

Thank goodness!

Thank goodness he surrendered quickly!

Otherwise, Feiyun Immortal City would have been reduced to ashes in an instant.

After all, even the Zhen Tian Army and Wu Jue had been defeated. How could Fei Yun Immortal City possibly withstand such a level of power?

If a battle were to break out, Fei Yun Immortal City would have no chance of survival.

Just then ,

an Immortal Emperor stepped forward and bowed deeply: “Your subordinate is willing to serve Your Majesty!” As soon as

these words were spoken, the other Immortal Emperors who had been stunned in place instantly reacted and hurriedly bowed in agreement.

“Willing to serve Your Majesty!”

At this point, in this situation, they had no room for hesitation.

Everyone could see that by speaking to this extent, he had blocked all avenues of retreat. They believed that if they dared to utter even a single word of dissent, they would definitely not be able to leave alive today.

Thus,

only one path remained before them

: surrender!

Not surrendering meant death!

But who wanted to die?

Having cultivated to their level for billions of years, no one would truly be willing to perish here in a single day.

Moreover, the person before them possessed the power to suppress Wu Jue and the Zhen Tian Army, their strength terrifying beyond measure. Being by such a powerful figure’s side wasn’t entirely a bad thing.

Looking at the numerous Immortal Emperors below, Shen Changqing nodded slightly.

“In that case, you may all relax and focus your minds!” (End of Chapter)
