Chapter 34: Chapter 005 The Shame of Yan State
Yanjing Drill Ground!
Backed by a large mountain, the ground below the mountain is paved with white stones. There are high walls all around. Inside the walls is the huge drill ground.
There are soldiers in five different armors on the drill ground. They stand behind the five forces.
In the north, the Emperor of Yan, wearing a dragon robe, sits on a dragon throne. A group of important officials and experts of Yan Kingdom stand beside him. In front of him are a large amount of fine wine and delicious food. But at this moment, no one is paying attention to these delicacies. Instead, they are looking at the center of the field with anxious expressions.
In the center of the field, there are currently two strong individuals fighting each other.
Swords and knives clash. Red and blue lights bloom from the two of them. The battle is intense and there is no winner yet.
At the upper position on the east side is also a force.
Among them is Liu Gang, the guardian of Zheng State. Obviously, this side is the delegation of Zheng State for the conference.
One of them is wearing a four-clawed dragon robe. Obviously, he is the crown prince of Zheng State.
However, among this group, it seems that they do not respect the crown prince of Zheng State as the leader.
Liu Gang sits beside the crown prince of Zheng State. His status is obviously not lower than that of the crown prince. At this moment, Liu Gang is talking flatteringly to another middle-aged man.
"Third Senior Brother, I heard that you have refined essence into qi and entered the Qi Realm?" Liu Gang whispered.
"Yes. Just a few months ago, when you and Master went to that feng shui formation, I broke through to the Qi Realm! The feeling in the Qi Realm is really different!" The middle-aged man said arrogantly.
"That's right. Third Senior Brother is extremely talented. Junior Brother has admired you for a long time. In the future, if Junior Brother has any questions, please don't hesitate to give me advice!" Liu Gang flattered.
"Hahaha, we are fellow disciples. It should be!" The third senior brother said with satisfaction.
"I heard that Senior Brother has two demon pets. One is this three-colored divine ox. It is extremely powerful and has boundless might. Is it several times stronger than my previous demon snake?" Liu Gang looked at the giant ox two zhang tall behind him and said.
"Your demon snake? Pfft! How can it be compared to my divine ox? Although they are both at the Essence Realm cultivation level, ten demon snakes are not a match for my divine ox!" The third senior brother said disdainfully.
"That's right. That's right. And I also heard that there is another demon pet. It is actually a rare flying demon beast. Even the eldest senior brother is extremely envious!" Liu Gang exclaimed in admiration.
"Hahaha, yes. The eldest senior brother is stronger than me. But in terms of demon pets, indeed every time he sees my 'Bat God', he is extremely envious!" The third senior brother said complacently.
"Where is that Bat God?" Liu Gang asked.
"I sent it to look for food. Don't worry about it!" The third senior brother smiled.
"The demon beasts of Third Senior Brother can be freely let loose. It can be seen that Third Senior Brother's enslavement of demon beasts has reached a superb level. Among Master's disciples, no one should be better than you!" Liu Gang kept flattering.
"Hahaha!" The third senior brother was extremely pleased by what was said.
While flattering the third senior brother, Liu Gang took a look at the center of the field.
"But speaking of it, this five-nation competition is a bit different from what I imagined!" The third senior brother looked at the duel in the center of the field and said in a deep voice.
"Oh? Why did Third Senior Brother say that?" Liu Gang was puzzled.
"I was originally planning to see that little bastard Yan Chuan. Unfortunately, he is not here!" The third senior brother said with pity.
"Well, maybe he didn't dare to come!" Liu Gang said with a fawning smile.
"And also, didn't it say that the guardians of various countries are all at the peak of the Strength Realm? Why are there so many at the Essence Realm? There are three in Yan Kingdom, eight in Han State, seven in Chu State, and eight in Wei State?" The third senior brother was puzzled.
"Them? They are like me. That day, they were brought into the feng shui formation by the ancestors of various dynasties. These people are also extremely lucky. At the moment when the dragon qi finally erupted in the feng shui formation, it turned into countless small dragon qi. These people may have all received a share. So they all luckily broke through to the Essence Realm!" Liu Gang thought for a while and said.
"Hmph. With so many at the Essence Realm, it seems that the Emperor of Yan will have a headache!" The third senior brother smiled.
"Now that Yan Tao is dead, Yan Kingdom itself is on the decline. Any struggle is just in vain!" Liu Gang looked at the Emperor of Yan on the dragon throne in the north with disdain.
The people of Zheng State watched coldly.
At the lower position on the east side, the upper position on the west side, and the lower position on the west side are respectively the crown princes of Wei State, Chu State, and Han State, as well as a group of experts.
Everyone is staring at the duel in the center of the field.
"Boom!"
With a loud noise, the duel suddenly stopped.
One person stands arrogantly in the center of the field. The other person, however, falls to the ground, covered in blood and unable to fight anymore.
"Old Zhang!" The Emperor of Yan's expression changed.
Two people beside him quickly stepped forward and helped up Old Zhang who was injured.
The injured person stood up and said with a ashamed expression, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent!"
"It's not your fault!" The Emperor of Yan sighed slightly.
"Help Guardian Zhang go down and rest!" The Emperor of Yan sighed.
"Yes!"
Guardian Zhang was defeated. The other person returned to the upper position on the west side.
"Your Majesty of Yan. Twenty cities! On behalf of my father, I thank Your Majesty. On behalf of Great Chu, I thank you!" The crown prince of Chu State at the lead smiled.
The Emperor of Yan looked at the crown prince of Chu State. His face was gloomy. He clenched his fists.
"Your Majesty of Yan, every twenty years, our five countries have a competition. We don't use military force but only bet on territory. This is the tradition of past generations. There were victories and defeats in the past. But this time, it seems that Yan Kingdom is not so lucky!" The crown prince of Chu State smiled.
"Not lucky? Not necessarily. It should be extremely lucky." A crown prince at the lower position on the west side suddenly laughed.
"Oh? Crown Prince of Korea? Why do you say that?" The crown prince of Chu State was puzzled.
"Yan Kingdom has two hundred and twelve cities. Losing twenty cities to each of our dynasties is only eighty cities. Yan Kingdom still has one hundred and thirty-two cities!" The crown prince of Korea smiled.
"Hmm?" Everyone looked at the crown prince of Korea in confusion.
The crown prince of Korea stared at the Emperor of Yan and said, "Yan Tao is dead. Yan Kingdom has already lost the protection of the immortal sects. How can it be compared with our four dynasties? Losing only eighty cities this time is a great fortune for Yan Kingdom, isn't it?"
"Yes. Losing only eighty cities. The Emperor of Yan should be glad. Our initial bet was not too big!" The crown prince of Wei State on the other side also echoed.
"Humph!" The Emperor of Yan's face turned green with anger.
Eighty cities. Eighty cities. More than half of Yan Kingdom has been lost in these two days.
"Rascals. My crown prince has already entered an immortal sect. Who said that Yan Kingdom has no protection of immortal sects?" A guardian beside the Emperor of Yan shouted.
"The crown prince of Yan Kingdom? Just entered an immortal sect? Hahaha, Guardian Wang, don't you know? The people of the immortal sects in the cultivation world pursue immortality and don't care about mortal affairs at all. Only for their closest blood relatives will they take care of their descendants. The master of the crown prince of Yan Kingdom is powerful. But so what? Will he come and help Yan Kingdom? The only thing you can wait for is for the crown prince of Yan Kingdom to grow up. But he is just an ordinary person. Do you think it is possible for him to become a strong person in a short time?" The crown prince of Korea said disdainfully.
The Emperor of Yan stared at everyone, clenching his fists tightly.
"I, Yan Qiuyu, will abide by the rules of the five countries for hundreds of years. I will give the eighty cities as promised. After the five-nation conference is over, you all can leave!" The Emperor of Yan said with an ugly expression.
"Leave? Hahaha. Your Majesty of Yan. Is this the end?" Liu Gang suddenly interrupted.
"Hmm? Liu Gang? What do you mean?" The Emperor of Yan said in a deep voice.
"It doesn't mean anything. I just want to remind you that according to the alliance of the five countries back then, the defeated country can continue to apply for a bet. You can bet again and get them back!" Liu Gang smiled.
"That's right. You can challenge us again. We will accompany you at any time!" The crown prince of Chu State shouted.
"Yes. Eighty cities. Don't you want to bet them back?" The crown prince of Korea smiled.
"I haven't had enough fun yet. At worst, we bet a little smaller. Anyway, Yan Kingdom has many cities. Losing them in the future is better than losing them today. Hahaha!" The crown prince of Wei State laughed.
"Too much bullying!" The Emperor of Yan slapped the dragon throne and scolded.
"Click click click!" The soldiers of Yan Kingdom raised their weapons one after another.
"Humph. Your Majesty of Yan. What do you want to do? If you dare to attack us, it is betraying the alliance. Our four countries will definitely attack Yan Kingdom together and let Yan Kingdom be completely destroyed." The crown prince of Zheng State glared and said.
"Yes. If I lose even a single hair, I will make Great Yan pay with its life!" The crown prince of Chu State scolded.
"Your Majesty, don't do it!" A group of subordinates quickly stopped the enraged Emperor of Yan.
The Emperor of Yan glared and forced down the anger in his heart. Slowly, he sat down again.
"Hahaha. Yan Kingdom? Yan Kingdom, the leader among the five countries in the past? Can't find anyone useful? Let me tell you. In fact, Guardian Zhang who just lost to us has already defected to my Chu State!" The crown prince of Chu State sneered.
"What?" The Emperor of Yan's eyes widened.
Not far away, Guardian Zhang, who had just been taken down and was covered in blood, suddenly stopped. He turned his head.
"Crown Prince of Chu. Didn't you promise me not to say it?" Guardian Zhang said with an ugly expression.
"What are you afraid of? From now on, following this crown prince, you are a citizen of Chu State. Who dares to touch you?" The crown prince of Chu State said arrogantly.
"But, well, okay!" Guardian Zhang nodded.
"Old Zhang. You, you, you..." The Emperor of Yan stared at Guardian Zhang with widened eyes, looking incredulous.
"Your Majesty, you are very good to me. But, the general trend of Yan Kingdom has passed. I am already at the Essence Realm. I want to develop further in the future. The crown prince of Chu said he would introduce their ancestor to me. I'm sorry!" Guardian Zhang said with a wry smile.
"Traitor. Traitor!" The Emperor of Yan shouted.
Guardian Zhang didn't pay attention and walked towards the place where the crown prince of Chu was. The injury just now seemed to be healed in an instant. Obviously, the injury just now was all faked.
"Hahaha. Your Majesty of Yan. Do you want to compete again? In Yan Kingdom, is there anyone else to compete? " The crown prince of Chu State smiled.
"Your Majesty, this old minister will fight them to the death!"
"Your Majesty, I will fight them to the death!"
"Your Majesty, please give the order. I will go!"
...
Some old ministers of Yan Kingdom asked for battle one after another. But these old ministers had white hair and eyebrows. How could they have the strength to fight again?
The Emperor of Yan closed his eyes. A trace of sadness flashed across his face.
"Hahaha!" The crown princes were all complacent.
In the past, the four countries were suppressed by Yan Kingdom. Now it's the opposite. Even on Yan Kingdom's home ground, the Emperor of Yan is firmly suppressed by them.
"Will you compete or not? Your Majesty of Yan. Give us an answer!" The crown prince of Korea said in a strange tone.
"Yes. Give us an answer!"
"Hahaha!"
...
Today, Yan Kingdom has suffered a great humiliation. But the Emperor of Yan can't vent his anger. His heart is extremely stifled. The soldiers of Great Yan even secretly wiped away their tears.
The hatred of national humiliation is like the hatred of having one's wife taken away. But there is nothing one can do. How sad!
"Clatter clatter clatter..."
"Clatter clatter..."
Suddenly, there came a large number of horse sounds from outside the drill ground.
"Hmm?" Everyone looked at the entrance of the drill ground in confusion.
"Boom!"
The gate was suddenly smashed open. Raising a large amount of dust.
"Whoa!"
"Whoa!"
...
A series of long neighs of horses soared straight into the sky.
As the dust dissipated. A large group of soldiers in brocade clothes rode in on horseback.
Yan Chuan rode at the front and slowly came. His eyes were shining brightly as he surveyed the group. All the soldiers followed closely behind. Each one was full of blood and had soaring fighting spirit.
"Who are you? Don't you know what this place is?" The crown prince of Chu State shouted in a deep voice.
