Chapter 251 Imperial Jade Seal
If the sect originally intended to send Yellow Laojiu instead of its ultimate weapon, then it's time to bring out the true senior.
Faced with the anxious inquiries of the crowd.
Yellow Laojiu merely revealed his pitch-black and void-like front teeth: "Wait a bit longer, wait a bit longer, don't we still have Daoist Chen?"
"Senior is referring to Chen Sansi?"
Cui Zhichen's expression was solemn: "You saw it too, he's not a match for Longqing at all, let alone the six Ding and six Jia formations formed by hundreds of thousands of troops outside. Even if we disregard all that, there's still the Dragon Abyss Sword to deal with. The only way now is to seek the help of the Upper Sect to ensure success!"
"Daoist Cui."
Yellow Laojiu lifted his mottled wine gourd and said awkwardly: "Recently, the sect discovered some unusual phenomena in Tiannan, which may bring great rewards. However, Yunding Palace is also getting involved, requiring a lot of manpower, resulting in a shortage of people, so only..."
"So no one else will come?!"
Qian Qiren interjected, then spoke more urgently: "Isn't the Mang Mountain Ancestor Vein supposed to be the most important matter?"
"Oh, don't worry, don't worry."
Yellow Laojiu comforted: "The old man still says the same thing, wait a bit longer, wait a bit longer."
"..."
Cui Zhichen and Qian Qiren exchanged a glance, their faces showing great disappointment.
Since Yellow Laojiu spoke like this, it was clear that further inquiry was meaningless.
But could it be that next...
We really have to just wait here to die?!
On the other side.
Chen Sansi was reorganizing his troops.
Fortunately, under Yellow Laojiu's previous obstruction, not many troops had been withdrawn from under the orthodox command, and there were still 120,000 soldiers in the city.
Additionally, returning cultivators from the Guiyuan Sect, relying on the Mysterious Armor Xunfeng Formation, could still hold on for some time.
Moreover, he received news.
After failing to assassinate Prince Jin Cao Huan, Ling Family's Ancestor Ling Kui did not choose to return to the Fei River but continued to lead cultivators searching everywhere in Songzhou carpet-like.
They were looking for their family!
When Sister Lan and the others were settled in Songzhou, although many measures were taken to cover them, if the cultivators were truly determined to search, they would eventually find traces, it was just a matter of time.
The fate of the family.
Was already deeply tied to Chen Sansi, impossible to sever completely.
Winning this battle would suffice.
If defeated.
Even if wife and children fled to the ends of the earth, ultimately, they would be hard-pressed to escape death.
"Rumble——"
As Chen Sansi contemplated.
The ferocious assault on the City Protection Array outside suddenly ceased.
Prompting everyone to climb the city walls to observe the situation.
It was seen.
The court's siege troops split to the sides, as if black seawater was split open down the middle.
A eunuch in a python robe carried a wooden tray, sprinting along this path until he reached below the city wall and stopped.
"Prince Jin!"
Ritual Supervision Chamberlain Huang Hong opened his mouth, his high-pitched voice echoing: "His Majesty is benevolent, thinking of the father-son bond, has already decided to pardon your death sentence!
"So Your Highness should quickly come out of the city to surrender and end this ridiculous farce.
"If this drags on to the point where the city wall is breached, blades and swords have no eyes, and no one can guarantee His Majesty's safety!"
"Eunuch!"
The orthodox Emperor did not appear, but Minister of Revenue Shangguan Haichang stood on the city wall, pointing at the other's nose and cursing: "This Jiang Mountain has only one His Majesty, and that is the orthodox Emperor! Stop spreading demonic words here, we will never surrender till death!"
Up until now.
Those most afraid of defeat were the families and sects that invested in the rebel army.
Anyone could have a chance of survival.
Except for them, it was impossible.
"You treacherous ministers and rebels, do you truly think you can be safe hiding in the City Protection Array?"
Huang Hong's expression was not ferocious, but his voice was terribly severe:
"For thousands of years, the Great Sheng Dynasty has been deemed the Central Plains orthodoxy by other countries, not just because its territory is centrally located on the Divine Continent, but because the Imperial Jade Seal, the symbol of Human Emperor, is in the hands of our Great Sheng Dynasty.
"Today, let you treacherous ministers and rebels see for yourselves.
"What is the true.
"Orthodoxy under heaven!"
As he spoke, he suddenly lifted the orange-yellow brocade from the tray, revealing the four-inch square, top-knobbed Five Dragons National Guardian Seal, which instantly released a magnificent golden light, transforming into a golden meteor shooting into the sky, stopping only at the apex of the six Ding and six Jia formations.
Divine might, waves of golden light surged like tides, stirring and shocking the soul, dazzling and supreme, impossible to look directly at!
The five True Dragons on the seal's top spouted mysterious light, divine might golden light pouring down on the bamboo green Mysterious Armor Xunfeng Formation, like a golden torrential downpour, each arrow rain causing the City Protection Array to shake violently, seeming as if it could become riddled with thousands of holes at any moment.
Many Array Soldiers on the city walls could hardly stand, clutching walls or using weapons as crutches, barely keeping from collapsing.
"The jade seal suppresses heaven and earth, your turtle shell won't last long."
Huang Hong concluded with heartfelt advice: "I'll give you the last day to consider.
"One day later, if you still refuse to come out to surrender, then we will have no choice but to, lie—"
The Imperial Jade Seal, also known as the National Guardian Seal.
"Is it this object that helps Longqing resist the Heaven and Earth Seal?"
Qian Qiren was tempted to escape and seize the treasure, but the other party deliberately kept the seal at a distance from the city, and such a precious treasure must have deep ties to the owner, rash thoughts were tantamount to seeking one's own death.
"This trip of mine has certainly broadened my horizons."
Yellow Laojiu smacked his lips repeatedly: "Even in a place of spiritual depletion, treasures are abundant."
