Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 316 The hanging heart finally died
In front of the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City.

Princess Yunluo, Empress Dowager Zhang, Zhu Wushi, Grand Secretary Yang Yanhe and Li Dongyang, along with a group of other Grand Secretaries, were all stunned and swayed precariously by the sight of the immortal corpses falling continuously from the sky.

"Royal brother!"

"I finally understand why you didn't even resist, but instead handed over the throne to someone else, and even faced death so calmly!" Princess Yunluo looked back at Emperor Zhengde, Zhu Houzhao, who had already been lying dead in the Qianqing Palace since early morning. She completely understood why he would rather face the ancestors of the Zhu family in silence in the afterlife than 'spinelessly' choose to grovel before Zhu Jinzhen.

She witnessed Yang Ning rise to prominence, confronting the immortals and joining forces with two other female generals under the command of King Su, causing the celestial beings to fall like rain.

With a raised hand, a thousand-foot spear beam, like a mountain or a pillar supporting the sky, pierced through the rainbow, its immense power seemingly capable of burying the entire capital. The scene of the immortals being slaughtered like stray dogs sent shivers down my spine.

Even immortals are like this.

In the end, she and Zhu Houzhao were nothing more than ordinary people.

How can fireflies compete with the bright moon?
However, Princess Yunluo's free-flowing thoughts suddenly seemed to come up with something, and the corners of her lips slowly turned up, her eyes even narrowed, and she looked extremely happy.

"Royal brother!"

"It seems you died too soon, missing out on this unprecedented spectacle that is worthy of being recorded in history, written about in great detail, and left for future generations to admire, and will not be forgotten even a thousand or ten thousand years from now."

"I wonder if you'll be so angry when you come back to life?"

The others nearby were unaware of Princess Yunluo's unconventional thinking. Even Zhu Wushi, who had the highest cultivation level, was terrified by the battle in the sky and the final outcome, turning pale with fright.

When the Heavenly Gate opens, immortals descend to the mortal realm.

And when he called out Zhu Jinzhen's name by name, he seemed to have ill intentions.

A glimmer of hope rose in Zhu Wushi's heart. Even if he didn't know the purpose of these immortals' visit, if they could help him get rid of Zhu Jinzhen, this major threat, he might still have a chance to turn the tide.

As a result, outside the capital, secret guards took the lead, drawing their swords against the immortals to defend the prestige of Zhu Jinzhen, the Prince of Su.

Yang Ning rose to prominence, his spear piercing through the rainbow, instantly killing an immortal.

That scene was unforgettable for Zhu Wushi.

It was only at that moment that Zhu Wushi realized, fully realized, how ridiculous his past thoughts were, and how laughable and pathetic the Azure Dragon Society that had secretly contacted him was.

Immortals who were above the celestial beings on land were all directly suppressed and killed by Yang Ning.

Could such a person be a celestial being on land?

Is Prince Su, Zhu Jinzhen, who can control Yang Ning, the legendary immortal on land?

"Prince Su, you've been hiding this so well!!" Zhu Wushi cried out inwardly. If he had known that Zhu Jinzhen was not a terrestrial immortal, but someone who was above terrestrial celestial beings and comparable to immortals and Buddhas, even if Zhu Wushi had ten thousand times the courage of a bear and a leopard, he would not have dared to commit such a rebellious act.

I dare not entertain any delusional thoughts!

But everything was consumed, and things developed in a way that was far more terrible than Zhu had anticipated.

They thought that the arrival of an immortal was enough to suppress the entire capital city's inhabitants, forcing them to kneel and prostrate themselves. Even the powerful Xuanjia Secret Guards, who roamed the palace and were no less than Grandmasters of Celestial Phenomena, could not raise their heads.

At the very least, the immortals and Zhu Jinzhen's side should be evenly matched.

result……

In no time, the immortal was killed without leaving a trace.

Even when a certain immortal seemed to have used his powers to summon an even more powerful immortal, Zhu Jinzhen suppressed or repelled them, and there was no further movement for a long time.

From that moment on, Zhu Wushi's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, died completely along with the immortal who was slain.

Even immortals in the mortal realm were slaughtered by Zhu Jinzhen's men. Zhu Wushi, let alone merely colluding with the Azure Dragon Society, even if Emperor Taizong were resurrected and brought Emperors Renzong and Xuanzong across time to this era, wouldn't he be terrified and run away in the face of such a Prince Su? Yang Yanhe seemed to have aged decades in an instant. His hair, which had only a few strands, suddenly turned completely white. Li Dongyang beside him also sighed repeatedly and remained silent for a long time.

Not far from them, a historian glanced up, then scribbled furiously, still wanting his sharp pen to write faster so as not to miss any brilliant records, which he would regret for the rest of his life.

……

the other side.

Changsun Wangqing, Yang Ning, and Yan Yimei descended gracefully from the heavens. Their armor and clothes still bore the blood of the many immortals.

However, he was met with fervent and awe-inspiring gazes from all directions.

All three remained calm, bowing slightly to Zhu Jinzhen and replying, "Your Highness, all the traitors have been executed and beheaded; none have escaped. Please make your decision."

"Ok!"

Zhu Jinzhen nodded slightly and gave the three people in front of him a gratified smile: "You've worked hard."

"Serving Your Highness is no hardship." Changsun Wangqing, Yan Yimei, and Yang Ning lowered their heads, and no one could see their expressions, but otherwise they would have seen that they were smiling.

From Yin Zhong onwards, to the descent of immortals.

They went through many things in between, but they weren't exactly tortuous; they were just a few ups and downs.

The three were all masters of the battlefield, none of whom were calm and collected, including the commander of Cangyun, nicknamed Bloodhand Phoenix; the number one expert of Tiance Mansion, known as Heavenly Spear; and the Grand Commander of the Female Guard Battalion and the Deputy Commander of Xuanjia Secret Guard.

The little squabbling they did in the past wasn't even enough to warm them up.

Today, the arrival of the immortals in the mortal realm was breathtaking, but it certainly allowed them to display their skills.

Not to mention, in this epic feat of mortals defying the immortals and conquering them, which is destined to be recorded in history and written about by future generations, they were always the dominant party and suffered no losses.

They looked forward to this battle more than anyone else, so how could they feel it was hard?

Seeing the three people who still couldn't hide their excitement, Zhu Jinzhen was deeply moved and said with a smile, "Although unexpected changes have occurred, things must continue."

Without Zhu Jinzhen needing to give any instructions, the three of them immediately remembered their duties.

Changsun Wangqing clasped her hands in a fist salute to Zhu Jinzhen, then turned into a streak of rainbow light and headed towards the army she was leading, which was stationed outside Chaoyang Gate.

Although she wasn't worried that her departure would cause chaos in Cangyun, Zhu Jinzhen's army had now completely surrounded the capital, and the necessary procedures still had to be followed. She also needed to go back and take charge of the overall situation.

"Then, this humble general will also take his leave." Yang Ning laughed heartily, bowed to Zhu Jinzhen again, and then turned into a streak of light and rushed into the Forbidden City.

Zhu Jinzhen smiled and shook his head, turning past the girls whose eyes were filled with barely concealed affection, and looked at Yan Yimei beside him: "The rats outside the city, and here..."

"The secret guards will handle it themselves."

"Yes!"

Yan Yimei clasped her hands in a fist salute and bowed to accept the order.

Although she had just fought a chaotic battle with immortals in the sky, she was not completely unaware of what was happening inside and outside the capital. For example, in a certain direction outside the capital, there were two rats at the terrestrial celestial realm who thought they were well hidden.

There is a greater than 95% chance that it is the so-called Heavenly Lord or Demon Lord of the Heavenly Scar, or some other high-ranking official.

As the commander of the secret guards, she was determined to be the sharpest blade in Zhu Jinzhen's hand, cutting away all obstacles for him. Naturally, she wouldn't just stand by and watch this rat that had jumped out of the shadows slip away from her 'sight' once again.
