Chapter 1139 Kicking an Iron Wall

"Fenghai County."

King Tian Lan put down the jade slips and closed his eyes, calculating the feasibility of his plan.

A while later, he opened his eyes, revealing a cold glint. He then lifted his head and looked in the direction of Fenghai County.

He needed a reason to hide his defeat and give the Human Emperor an explanation at the same time.

The reasons didn't need to be overly perfect. After all, even the most flawless explanation would be scrutinized by the Human Emperor. But this wasn't important. As a Heavenly King, giving an account of oneself, to some extent, was a matter of attitude.

Therefore, he needed to convey his attitude towards the Human Emperor.

In addition, what the Human Emperor valued was the final victory in the war. In that case, as long as he salvaged the losses and calmed the chaos, the problem would no longer be a problem.

The most important thing was…

"Fenghai County actually has Suns of Dawn!"

"However, its might seems to be very different from the real Sun of Dawn. However, this is only on the surface after all. In reality, they might have other hidden cards."

King Tian Lan lowered his head and looked at the jade slip in his hand. A chill spread in his eyes.

"The failure on the battlefield was mainly due to Fenghai County refusing to send reinforcements. They even privately manufactured the Sun of Dawn, and this is an even greater crime!"

"Therefore, heading to Fenghai County, seizing the Suns of Dawn, and restarting the battle against the Black Heaven Race is the only choice."

At the thought of this, King Tian Lan no longer hesitated. He immediately ordered the army to move into the Holy Wave Large Region and head to Fenghai County.

As for whether Fenghai County would choose to detonate the remaining Suns of Dawn to perish together with King Tian Lan, King Tian Lan naturally had considered this.

He believed it was unlikely, as long as he didn't force Fenghai County to the point of extinction. He would propose to exonerate them of the crime of manufacturing Suns of Dawn privately while putting some pressure, and even acknowledge the autonomy of Fenghai County.

In that case, Fenghai County would definitely lower its head.

Unless Fenghai County was prepared to betray the human race.

As for the subsequent outcomes, it had nothing to do with him.

"However, I have to give enough pressure."

Just like that, King Tian Lan led his army and headed straight for Fenghai County.

An army of ten million powerful cultivators moved with him, possessing the power to destroy everything in its path. Within it, flags rose into the air, forming more than ten legions. Each legion had its own distinct characteristics.

Some rode birds, some sat on mutated beasts, and some rode the clouds…

At the back was a large number of nonhuman armies. Among them were giants who were thousands of feet tall. They wore thick armor and their steps caused the ground to shake.

The one at the front was a black dragon that was 100,000 feet long. Its majestic body gave off a majestic feeling. It flickered between the clouds and fog, looking mighty and astonishing.

A person sat cross-legged above its head. It was none other than King Tian Lan. His eyes were closed and his expression was cold and dignified.

Wherever the army passed, wind and clouds surged, and the world trembled. They passed through the territory of the Grand Duke Holy Wave and reached the ruins of the original capital of the Heavenly Wind Dynasty. The army stopped here.

On the black dragon, King Tian Lan opened his eyes and stared at the ruins. After observing it for a while, he fell into deep thought. He closed his eyes again and the army continued to move.

This lasted until they arrived at the border of Fenghai County, and the three provinces that Fenghai County had gotten back from the Seventh Prince back then.

All living beings in the three provinces trembled. Regardless of whether they were mortals or cultivators, they were all trembling.

The black mass of troops crossed the sky with an earth-shattering aura, forming a storm that swept across the ground, crushing everything in its path, causing the mountain range to shatter and the ground to collapse.

The array formations of the three provinces instantly dissipated. Some forces and sects of the various races were suppressed if they were on the path of the army.

Even the Sword Holding Ministry that was stationed in the three provinces was suppressed.

Domineering, powerful, invincible.

These terms fully manifested on the army, causing the sky and earth to change color. The storm grew even larger and approached the capital of Fenghai County.

In an instant, Fenghai County was in danger.

Fenghai County's capital city naturally received the news. They weren't too surprised by the arrival of King Tian Lan. From the start, after suppressing the military governor, the cultivators of Fenghai County already knew that this day would arrive.

Hence, they had been preparing for the war all along.

The moment they received the news, the Taboo magic treasure of Fenghai County was activated along with the magic treasures from other sects. They were controlled by the county's Taboo and formed a large net that enveloped a range of 50 kilometers.

There were also cultivators from the three palaces and sects, dressed in armor and prepared for the fight. Various formations shimmered on the ground, forming divine arts.

A large number of battle magic artifacts were also activated, ready to erupt at any time.

There were also puppets controlled by many people, accumulating energy and waiting.

In the air, Old Master Seventh's great wing flapped its wings and the flying ships of the various sects filled the air. There was also a huge palace in the sky. Old Master Seventh, Marquis Yao, the three Palace Masters, and the various sects' Nihility were all here. Xu Qing and the captain were also among them.

They were all staring at the distant sky.

The various forces in the entire Holy Wave Large Region were paying attention to this place.

If it was in the past, these forces would definitely think that Fenghai County was about to be wiped out. However, as the Sun of Dawn appeared in Fenghai County some time ago, it shook the surroundings.

Hence, the various forces were all watching the arrival of King Tian Lan. They wanted to see what Fenghai County would do in this storm.

The one who paid the most attention to this confrontation was Grand Duke Holy Wave. With his cultivation, he could clearly sense the matters in Fenghai County. He wasn't willing to provoke King Tian Lan, but the Sun of Dawn in Fenghai County piqued his interest.

However, he didn't care about the result of the confrontation. What he was more concerned about was using this opportunity to see the true strength of both sides.

"It's a pity that Fenghai County is still too weak. If Fenghai County was more bold and detonated all the Suns of Dawn, things would be interesting."

The Grand Duke's expression was relaxed as he smiled.

He didn't think that this matter had anything to do with him, nor did he think that this matter would have any impact on the future unless… Fenghai County really erupted with such boldness.

However, such a mad action would most likely not be taken.

Hence, he felt regretful.

Among the forces paying attention to this battle, there was one that was the most excited at this moment. It was the hidden Seventh Prince.

He knew that Fenghai County wasn't simple but he trusted his uncle even more. After all… that was the Soul Accumulation realm.

Hence, he was filled with anticipation for the outcome.

"Xu Qing, what choice will you make this time?"

Just like that, while the various forces in the Holy Wave Large Region used different methods to pay attention to this battle, King Tian Lan's army appeared outside the capital of Fenghai County.

Their arrival caused the sky of Fenghai County to lose its color. The ground churned like an earth dragon and continued to fluctuate.

The pressure formed by countless soldiers shook the minds of all the cultivators who were paying attention.

What was even more astonishing was the figure sitting cross-

legged and meditating on the head of the black dragon at the front.

Fenghai County's side was silent. No one spoke as they stared at the mighty middle-aged man on the black dragon.

The moment everyone's gazes gathered, King Tian Lan opened his eyes. They were like two furnaces, sending energy to the surroundings, creating a storm in the surroundings.

A cry of surprise rang out from the sky as Qingqin rapidly retreated, not daring to look at him at all.

A vast world appeared in the sky above the capital of Fenghai County, becoming the sky of Fenghai County, blocking the light and becoming a shadow that enveloped the capital.

The great world was filled with flames and was accompanied by countless roars. It was as if it was filled with fiends and demons.

In an instant, Fenghai County was illuminated by the flames of King Tian Lan's great world.

The Taboo magic treasure's net that covered an area of 50 kilometers emitted an ear-piercing sound and rapidly dissipated before barely reassembling. The cultivators in the county capital were the same.

Every one of them deeply sensed the terror of the Soul Accumulation. Their auras were all instinctively stimulated and they resisted together.

However, against the Soul Accumulation, all of this was useless.

If King Tian Lan wanted to, he could destroy everything in front of him with a thought.

However, it was obvious that his goal in coming here this time wasn't to destroy or force Fenghai County to detonate the Sun of Dawn to perish together.

Therefore, although this pressure appeared, it didn't really descend into Fenghai County.

This was just a warning.

At the same time, a general in black armor walked out of the army behind King Tian Lan. He sat on a flood dragon and his fourth stage Nihility cultivation transformed into an illusory world that blurred outside his body.

He flew all the way until he arrived in between the two armies. He looked at Fenghai County with a complicated expression, but he still spoke in a deep voice.

"Fenghai County's County Governor, Yao Tianyan, and Deputy Governor, Zheng Kaiyi, accept the Heavenly King's decree!"

"Fenghai County committed five crimes. Firstly, disrespect towards the imperial family."

"Secondly, refusing to obey the enlistment order."

"Thirdly, suspected of conspiring to kill the military governor and the ten thousand soldiers of our army."

"Fourthly, the soldiers of Fenghai County fled the battlefield."

"Fifthly, with the aforementioned actions, delaying the war effort, causing significant impact that is akin to aiding the enemy!"

After calmly speaking, the general stared at the figures in the palace hovering in the sky.

"Do you admit your sins?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the cultivators in King Tian Lan's military behind him let out deep shouts in unison.

"Confess!"

The voices surpassed thunder and exploded in all directions, shaking the world and stirring up a strong wind. It blew in front of everyone in Fenghai County, causing their clothes to flutter.

This caused waves in their hearts but no one spoke. Xu Qing calmly stared at the army.

Their silence caused the gaze of King Tian Lan to turn slightly gloomy. The general in front of him also swept his gaze across Fenghai County and continued to speak.

"However, on account that you are humans and we aren't willing to see the human race kill each other, the Heavenly King has four commands for you to follow, thereby redeeming yourselves."

"Firstly, hand the deserters over to our military for custody, to be tried at a later date."

"Two, immediately release the ten thousand soldiers and the military governor."

"Thirdly, Yao Tianyan and Zheng Kaiyi, lead a million soldiers of Fenghai to join the frontline."

"Fourthly, present all the remaining Suns of Dawn as tribute."

After the general finished speaking, he retreated and returned to the army. As for Fenghai's side, they were still silent.

When King Tian Lan saw this, he slowly stood up from the black dragon and looked down at the county capital. His voice was like thunder as it echoed.

"If we win the combat of the Black Heaven Race, this king will exempt Fenghai County from all crimes. Fenghai County can continue to be autonomous in the Seventh Prince's fief."

"Otherwise…"

A cold glint rose in King Tian Lan's eyes. His Soul Accumulation cultivation spread out, affecting the sky and causing the wind and clouds to stir. It was as though the county would be destroyed with a thought and the people would be plunged into misery and suffering.

In the palace, Old Master Seventh rotated and stared at Xu Qing.

Marquis Yao also stared at Xu Qing. At that moment, the gazes of everyone in the surroundings landed on Xu Qing.

As for the captain, his face was filled with pride.

This scene attracted the attention of King Tian Lan. He frowned slightly. Previously, he had sensed the strangeness of Fenghai County. At this moment, this feeling was even more obvious. He snorted coldly and calmly spoke.

"Looks like you guys have other things to rely on. Feel free to take them out. This King is also very curious."

Xu Qing's expression was calm. He didn't look at the dignified King Tian Lan. He stared at the heavens and cupped his fists.

"Grandpa Ninth, he's calling for you."
