Immortal Devil Transformation Book 16 Chapter 40

Inside the black gold carriage, Lin Xi heard Zhang Ping's final great roar.

However, the world before him was already blurry. After breaking through into the sacred level, using Devil Transformation and experiencing a series of battles, together with the disappearance of Gao Yanan and the others in Thunder Academy, as well as being battered by the vital energies in front of the city gate pass, his body and will already reached their absolute limit.

He no longer knew what was happening around him.

“Lin Xi!”

“Chi Yuyin!”

Voices continuously sounded in the black gold carriage.

…

The sapphire armor sat within the small mountain of ruins, not moving at all, not showing any activity.

Did the person inside really die?

Everyone who was watching this armor closely for changes were thinking about this question.

“Fire!”

Following several military orders, the noises of countless black arrows tearing through the sky sounded. The arrows crashed into the sapphire armor seated on the ruins.

Concentrated dang dang metal striking noises sounded.

Broken black arrows began to pile up around the sapphire armor. However, this sapphire armor still didn't move at all, only sinking down slightly under the impact. Under the surging dust, it looked even more decrepit.

This place began to quiet down again.

A high ranking officer dressed in heavy armor looked at this sapphire armor with black arrows piled up all around it. His entire body even began to tremble slightly.

Six hundred out of the thousand soul weapon heavy armors he commanded were destroyed while stopping Zhang Ping's advance. The deaths of so many of his comrades made it impossible for him to calm down.

Since they couldn't blast open this armor even at this type of time, if there was nothing else that could smash apart this armor… then they would bury it if they had to!

This high ranking officer reached out a hand, giving a military order.

Metal chains were flung out from the hands of many heavy armors behind him, wrapping around this sapphire armor.

The metal chains gradually became taut as they pulled the sapphire armor, the sounds of the armor grinding with the rubble and arrows sounded.

Right at this time, the temperature in the air seemed to have suddenly become much colder.

The originally unmoving sapphire armor raised a hand.

A piece of armor on its arm began to extend into a long blade again. Under a light brandishing, it drew a string of sparks, cutting through all of the metal ropes.

Its movements were extremely slow, but it was definitely horrifying.

Many people immediately felt as if they were personally watching a devil king revive.

…

The already peaceful surface began to tremble again.

Those heavy armors who didn't know what kind of emotions they were feeling before this devil-like armor heard the tsunami-like noises that came from a distance. When they turned towards the source of the sound, their bodies became incredibly rigid.

Central Continent City's outskirts were covered under white snow. Under the sky scene that gradually became overcast, everything became hazy, becoming filled with an ash color.

However, there was a layer of dazzling silver that instead appeared within this ash colored layer, gradually becoming more and more clear.

The hearts of many people in Central Continent City suddenly sunk.

The dazzling silver armor could only be Central Continent Guards. When it gathered like this type of tide… it could only be that most of the Central Continent Guard soldiers in the southern outskirts gathered over.

However, all of them understood extremely clearly that these southern outskirt Central Continent Guards should have remained where they were, they shouldn't be here.

The one in the sapphire armor was still alive.

Now that most of the Central Continent Guard Army came, there was already no army left in Central Continent City that could contend against them.

That was why this could only mean that regardless of whether who Lin Xi and the others faced today, Lin Xi lost.

According to Lin Xi's plans, after Yunqin Emperor Changsun Jinse died, it would obviously produce a huge uprising in Yunqin. However, by having the Imperial Princess succeed the throne, the future of this empire was clear. But now, the one in the sapphire armor was still alive and Central Continent Guard Army entered Central Continent City. The future of Yunqin Empire already became unclear.

The silver colored Central Continent Guard Army poured into Central Continent City through this city gate pass.

Including this heavy armor army high ranking officer, many Yunqin soldiers weren't willing to withdraw. Then, their bodies were drowned within this raging tide of silver.

…

This new year was Central Continent City's most panic-stricken, most dismal, and most bloody new year.

A story of a devil king descending began to spread, casting a thick shadow over the hearts of every single Yunqin citizen.

There was no further news regarding that armor that leaked out. Central Continent Guard Army completely sealed up all information. After fighting against Lin Xi and the others, that armor really seemed like a devil king that appeared out of nowhere, and then disappeared again in Central Continent City.

Battles even more miserable than the past Jiang Family rebellion erupted continuously in Central Continent City. On this day alone, most of Yunqin's officials were killed.

There wasn't any night curfew in place. However, when countless soldiers continuously roamed Central Continent City's streets and alleys, the thickest bloody aura surrounding the entire city, most of Central Continent City's ordinary people who didn't even know who was fighting against who all remained home in alarm. They all shut their doors tightly while awaiting their unknown fate.

…

Under this bloody slaughter, Central Continent royal court went through a great purge.

The one who organized this purge was a young Yunqin official who followed the Central Continent Guard Army into Central Continent City.

This ordinary cloth clothed young Yunqin official always had his head lowered. Regardless of how humble and meager his appearance was, anyone who caught even a hint of his side profile knew that he was one of the officials with the highest authority in Central Continent City, Xu Zhenyan.

When the first black night descended after the Central Continent Guards entered Central Continent City, Xu Zhenyan slowly entered the Imperial City, entering the office that previously belonged to Grand Secretary Zhou and Grand Secretary Wen.

Then, he fetched a paper and pen, expressionlessly issuing the first order following his return to Central Continent City.

The first order he issued from Central Continent City ordered all the officials of all sectors and the local armies to investigate and pursue the traitor Lin Xi and all Green Luan Academy cultivators who were a part of this regicide.

After giving the order, he leaned against his chair, resting for a long time. After this long bloody night passed, when a tint of white appeared in the skies, he left, slowly walking along Imperial City's central street.

He ordered some red robed Divine Adjudicators to enter Central Continent City's streets and alleys, but there were even more Divine Adjudicators who passed him, following the central street in the most devout and respectful manner, heading to True Dragon Mountain. Then, they entered some of True Dragon Mountain's palaces.

In True Dragon Mountain's Boundless Palace, Zhang Ping sat on the soft golden couch, coldly overlooking all of Central Continent City.

In front of him was that flat gemstone that came from Ancient Witch Forest.

As more and more red robed Divine Adjudicators entered, this True Dragon Mountain looked more and more like that highest Purgatory Mountain peak.
