Chapter 40: Yun Country

Emperor Chu was dead, and the old emperor was dead too. Everyone held their breath, looking at the young figure standing on the battlefield with eyes full of awe. This figure was not grand at all; in fact, he seemed a bit thin.

Years ago, at this moment, it was this slightly thin figure that stood like a pillar of strength in countless people’s hearts, never to be seen at the end.

That was true greatness, something everyone could only admire from below.

Above the walls of the Imperial Capital, Marquis Wenyuan and the others were still in deep shock. Even though they had hope and expectation in their hearts, they never imagined that Yun Yi would truly bring them such a huge miracle by eliminating the old emperor.

Yun Yi’s strength went beyond their imagination and everyone else’s. He was a prodigy unlike any other.

For Marquis Wenyuan and the others, it was undoubtedly the best decision made at a critical moment in their lives. Although they still couldn’t shake off the shock that Yun Yi had given them, one thing was certain: at this moment, the three of them finally felt a true sense of relief.

Young General!

Young General!

Young General!

……

The Yun Family Army shouted in unison, echoing outside the Imperial Capital like rolling waves, their voices shaking the sky.

At that moment, Yun Yi became the true God of War, the one whom everyone respected and admired.

He was a man capable of creating miracles, and from this moment, a brilliant new star, an extraordinary talent, was about to be born in Qizhou State.

"The Chu Kingdom has been defeated, who else wants to fight?"

Yun Yi’s gaze swept over Marquis Fanyang and the Imperial Capital Guards who were battling the Yun Family Army.

No one dared to meet Yun Yi’s sharp gaze. At that moment, everyone couldn’t help but lower their heads, and many Imperial Guards began to drop their weapons, giving up their resistance.

Even Marquis Fanyang and the others felt the same way. The three of them had expressions of great sadness, but they were utterly hopeless. They knew they had no chance left; in front of Yun Yi, they were like ants, easily crushed.

"My Chu Kingdom is doomed!"

The Second Prince shouted to the sky, drew his sword, and took his own life, dying on the spot.

The powerful members of the Chu family had all been killed by Yun Yi, and with Yun Yi’s methods, he would certainly not spare the Second Prince.

Therefore, instead of living on in shame, it was better to end it all with a quick death.

Marquis Fanyang and the grand preceptor looked at the fallen body of the Second Prince, their faces turning as pale as ghosts, but sadly, they did not have the courage to take their own lives.

When all was said and done, Emperor Chu’s attack on the Yun family ultimately led to the downfall of the Chu Kingdom, which could be considered a consequence of his own actions.

That day, the Yun Family Army entered the Imperial Capital, and all the soldiers surrendered.

The next day, the Chu Kingdom was overthrown and renamed Yun Country. Yun Feilong became the new emperor and took the throne half a month later.

The Yun family did not desire the power of an emperor, but now that the Chu family was destroyed, such a large country needed a true ruler. For the sake of the people, Yun Feilong had no choice but to take on the responsibility.

Furthermore, in the entire Imperial Capital, there was probably only Yun Feilong who was qualified to be emperor. The reputation of Cloud General Feilong had already won the hearts of the people.

As for Yun Yi, he had no interest in the throne at all. The Qizhou State was too small for him; he had lofty ambitions and was not someone to be confined like a fish in a pond.

With the establishment of the new country, the entire upper leadership had to be renewed. Marquis Wenyuan, General Zhennan, and the Western War King were naturally given important roles, as the three already had a good relationship with Yun Feilong.

Moreover, when the Yun family was in trouble, the three did not add to their misfortune. As for why they did not come to help, there was simply nothing they could do. Given the circumstances at that time, if they had tried to assist the Yun family, it would not have helped at all and could have brought them great danger, leading to a greater loss.

Marquis Fanyang and the grand preceptor were directly executed and displayed to the public.

Yun Feilong and Yun Yi did not have much mercy; when dealing with enemies, they did not understand what mercy meant. The harm caused by Marquis Fanyang and the grand preceptor to the Yun family could only be repaid with blood.

If it hadn’t been for Yun Yi turning the situation around during the previous battle in the Imperial Capital, father and son would have been dead by now, falling into the hands of Marquis Fanyang and the grand preceptor. Their fate would have been no better than that of the two men now.

On the fifth day, the emperor of the Liang Kingdom personally arrived in Yun Country and signed a peace agreement with Yun Feilong, using the Northern Desert as the boundary. The two countries would each control Qizhou State.

Naturally, Yun Feilong was pleased with this situation, as Yun Country’s current strength was not suitable for war.

Moreover, the emperor of Liang Kingdom’s intentions were very clear. The battle at the Imperial Capital had been widely talked about, and everyone in Qizhou State knew about it.

Yun Feilong raised a good son, a remarkable genius who could defeat even those in the third grade of the Innate Realm. His mere presence was enough to shock the entire Liang Kingdom.

Liang Kingdom naturally feared that Yun Yi would take action against them. If that were to happen, the outcome would be uncertain. It was likely that Liang Kingdom would meet the same fate as Chu Kingdom, which was beyond doubt.

Otherwise, why would Liang Kingdom choose to make peace at this time?

This peace could very well be permanent, bringing true peace to Qizhou State. As long as Yun Yi lived, this powerful deterrent would never disappear.

On the eighth day, Yun Yi, who had been in seclusion, woke up.

Since the battle that day, Yun Yi had chosen to go into seclusion. This time, forcibly activating the Fire Spirit Body brought him great enhancement and benefits, which he needed time to comprehend and digest.

When Yun Yi walked out of the room, there were already many people standing outside the door: Yun Feilong, Qian Luofeng, Brother Yuan Lang, Marquis Wenyuan, General Zhennan, the Western War King, Yun Canghai sitting in his wheelchair, and the Black Flame Lion that Yun Yi had tamed.

Yun Canghai’s face was still a little pale; he had suffered greatly from his injuries that day, sitting in his wheelchair like an elderly man in the twilight of his life.

But the moment Yun Canghai saw Yun Yi come out, he could not hide the smile on his face, a joy that came from deep within his heart.

This was Yun Canghai’s pride, and the pride of the entire Yun family.

"Grandpa, Dad, Uncle Bloodcoat."

Yun Yi greeted them with a smile.

"Yi’er, how do you feel?"

Yun Feilong quickly asked. He clearly remembered that day when Yun Yi used his life force to open the spirit body. Now, seeing Yun Yi looking radiant and his cultivation firmly established at the first grade of the Innate Realm, he could hardly tell there was any difference from before, which made Yun Feilong feel a bit relieved.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine. The side effects of forcibly opening the Second Spirit Body have almost all been cleared."

Yun Yi said, giving everyone a comforting smile.

Yun Yi did not mention that he only had three years left to live. Even if he did, it would only make everyone worried and wouldn’t help at all. He would have to depend on himself for everything.
