Chapter 200 - 200 200 Sikong Jing Returning to the Great Shang Imperial City

200: Chapter 200: Sikong Jing, Returning to the Great Shang Imperial City 200: Chapter 200: Sikong Jing, Returning to the Great Shang Imperial City No sooner had the voice faded than Yang Tianmo’s eyes widened, and he exclaimed frantically, “A large-scale audition?”

“Doesn’t that mean the secrets of the Divine Spaceship will be completely spread throughout the Canglong Domain?”

Yang Tianmo trembled violently, his eyes ablaze with fury.

“Yes, the secrets of the Long Night Empire can no longer be kept,” Yan Ruyu said, her face flushed with enduring hate.

Yang Tianmo gritted his teeth and paced frantically in front of the throne, cursing under his breath, “Damn it, damn it all!”

“General Yu told me to disembark now and have the Emperor issue an Emperor’s Order to gather a million youths, aged between fifteen and twenty, to the Imperial City within ten days for their selection.”

It wasn’t just about not being able to keep it a secret anymore; they intended to promote this secret, informing everyone in the Canglong Domain.

Suddenly, Yang Tianmo collapsed onto the throne and closed his eyes deeply.

The command from the Long Night Empire was beyond his defiance, and in the end, he could only issue the Emperor’s Order.

“At the same time, other dynasties have also received this order.”

“That wretched General Ning even said they must gather ten million youths across the Canglong Domain, all to arrive at the Great Shang Imperial City.”

“So, we must open our country as well.”

As Yan Ruyu spoke, Yang Tianmo clutched his chest, nearly spewing a mouthful of reverse blood.

All of a sudden, he opened his eyes and said frantically, “Ruyu, Su Yue Immortal is Brother Jing’s elder sister-in-law, right?

I don’t care by what means, but once we reach the Long Night Empire, have her killed!”

The root cause was still Sikong Jing.

Moreover, they suspected that the reason the Divine Spaceship had landed in Yunzhou half a month ago was due to a terrifying human-shaped monster summoned by Sikong Jing from somewhere, their hatred for him overflowing.

“My lord, a second Divine Spaceship has appeared above the Imperial City,”

Just then, Yang Tianmo’s eldest son walked briskly into the hall and reported forcefully.

Yang Tianmo trembled all over, in disbelief.

Yan Ruyu replied casually, “That’s the reason General Ning and her ilk waited so long; it’s a Divine Spaceship specifically for testing martial artists.”

In an instant, Yang Tianmo understood.

After discovering the terrifying talent of Su Yue Immortal, General Ning believed there must be many hidden talents among the civilians of the Canglong Domain, hence relayed the information back to the Long Night Empire.

So they sent a second Divine Spaceship to the Canglong Domain,

specifically for testing ten million youths ten days later.

“If we can’t keep the secret that has been guarded for a thousand years, let’s publicize national pride, making all the youths loyal to the Great Shang Dynasty.”

After pondering long and hard, Yang Tianmo stood up forcefully and then coldly said, “Also tell all the youths that Sikong Jing has betrayed the Great Shang Dynasty, and attribute numerous crimes to him.”

“I want the young people of the Great Shang Dynasty to aim at assassinating Sikong Jing.”

At these words, Yan Ruyu and the Crown Prince of Shang Country responded forcefully and then hurried off to take action.

…

A few days later, Sikong Jing in Yunzhou City received the report and exclaimed in surprise, “The Long Night Empire is actually conducting a comprehensive audition for martial artists in the Canglong Domain, with all the great dynasties grudgingly sending young talents to the Great Shang Imperial City.”

He had not expected to receive such news a month and a half later, nor had he expected the Divine Spaceship to still be around.

Originally, Sikong Jing planned to make Yunzhou an impregnable entity, then, with Su Yuexi, traverse the Minglong Mountain Range to head for the Long Night Empire, but conservatively estimated, this would take another half a year.

But now, fortifying Yunzhou was no longer the most urgent matter.

He pondered briefly, then unhesitatingly said, “I will head to the Great Shang Imperial City alone; you all continue to fortify Yunzhou.”

The Five Dragons Admiral exclaimed upon hearing the words, “Divine Commander, this journey is likely fraught with extreme danger.”

Even though the Divine Spaceship was still within the Imperial City, the Long Night Empire would certainly not intervene, nor would they protect Sikong Jing’s life just because of Su Yue Immortal and Su Zhenglong.

For him, the Great Shang Imperial City was a den of dragons and tigers.

Sikong Jing looked toward the Five Dragons Admiral and smiled, “I have already reached the Yangwu Realm, and within the Canglong Domain, no one can stop me.”

A surge of intense domineering aura exploded from Sikong Jing as he added, “Protect Yue Xi well, wait for my return.”

Then, Sikong Jing found Su Yuexi and bid her farewell.

Although he feared no one on this journey, he definitely could not take Su Yuexi with him, for only he could come and go without a trace.

“Brother Jing, if you see father and mother, tell them I miss them.”

Instead of clinging, Su Yuexi leaned into Sikong Jing’s embrace, whispering softly.

After a moment of tenderness, Sikong Jing mounted the Flying Blood Colorful Winged Horse and soared straight into the clouds.

Three days later, he arrived at the Great Shang Imperial City, and viewing the majestic city, Sikong Jing’s heart turned icy cold.

Once he considered it home, dreaming of fighting for it all his life, but now it was deeply loathed, a den of dragons and tigers.

He patted the Flying Blood Colorful Winged Horse beneath him and flew straight over the city walls, and in the next instant, the masters of the Imperial City, riding their own flying horses, soared into the sky and furiously shouted, “Who goes there, daring to forcefully enter the Imperial City?”

The security structure of the Imperial City was tight, and everyone entering the city had to be searched and their identities verified.

“I, Sikong Jing!”

Sikong Jing didn’t hesitate to declare his name.

Instantly, the knights of the Imperial City’s eyes bulged, their hearts chilled to the core, terror creeping up from their feet.

Sikong Jing, the once Great Merchant Invincible God General, and the now traitor.

“Swoosh…”

The next moment, Sikong Jing had disappeared from the knights’ sight, vanished without a trace.

After a long while, the leader of the knights hurriedly shouted, “Quick, inform the Emperor, Sikong Jing has come.”

Now, only a day remained until the Divine Spaceship’s martial artists’ test.

At the same time, Yang Tianmo stood tall at the Xuanyuan Sect’s gateway in the Great Shang Imperial City, below which lay a boundless plaza, its hundred massive pillars soaring into the sky, engraved with various divine beasts representing the might of the Great Shang.

Below them were a million people, the young talents transported from various states of the Great Shang Dynasty.

Yang Tianmo watched the million youths quietly, his mellow voice ringing out, “Tomorrow is the testing day for the Long Night Empire, and outside the Imperial City, another nine million youths from different dynasties and small countries gather.

Do you wish to lose?”

“No!” the crowd roared in unison.

Yang Tianmo then revealed a satisfied smile and added, “You all are already aware of the Long Night Empire, a mighty empire beyond the Canglong Domain.

If you are chosen, you will have to leave the Great Shang Dynasty.”

“But the Great Shang Dynasty is forever your home, and your families and friends will all become nobles of the Great Shang.”

Upon these words, the crowd was wildly excited.

This was a promise directly from the Emperor’s own mouth!

Among them, some were merely ordinary people, chosen merely because of a simple test.

If they got selected to be taken by the Long Night Empire, they would rise to great heights and bring glory to their ancestors!

“Young people, do you know why the Divine Spaceship of the Long Night Empire remained at the Great Shang Dynasty?”

Yang Tianmo continued to stir their hearts, sweeping his gaze across the crowd and asking, “Why, out of the four great dynasties of the Canglong Domain, did it choose us, the Great Shang Dynasty?

Because we are strong, and because we have heart…”

He concluded, deeply moved, “And because I, Yang Tianmo, love my people like my own children!”
