Chapter 261: Chapter 18: The Great Purge of Cangdu_3

"Anyway, you won’t be able to see it anymore," the Cang King said as he grasped through the air. Under the overwhelming force of magic power, the Archbishop turned into a puddle of flesh, and Xixi quickly closed her eyes—it was too bloody!

Following the death of the Archbishop, the arena once again fell into a sinister stillness.

Those nobles who had been bribed and incited by the Disaster Church all knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe heavily.

The Cang King withdrew the magic formation and leaned back on his throne, whispering, "You all are the pillars of our Cang nation, so why would you side with the Disaster Church? Tell me, what should I do with you?"

"Your Majesty, your old servant is foolish, misled by treacherous people. I beg your Majesty to spare my family; I am willing to die to atone for my sins!" Having said that, without waiting for the Cang King’s agreement, he grabbed a weapon and slit his own throat.

The Cang King waved his hand, summoning the guards, "Did you see who just died?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it was a first-class lord, Lord Yang."

"Mm, whip his corpse, execute his clan!"

"Your Ma...," the guard trembled in fear.

The Cang King looked at the desperate traitors before him and said, "Do you think suicide clears everything? No matter where, treason is unforgivable!"

"But, Father, what if all the people are killed?" Xixi mustered her courage to stand up. Though young, she knew these people all held significant roles in the court; if they were all killed, the Cang nation would surely stagnate, and other nations might take the opportunity to wage war.

The Cang King looked at his daughter and couldn’t help but remark, "Xixi, you have become brave."

"Daughter... daughter is only thinking of the Cang nation."

"Good, good!" The Cang King stood up and pointed at the sinners before him, "Remember, from today onward, every day you live is obtained by Princess Chen Xi for you. If you want me to spare you, it’s easy--sign a slave contract, and from then on, your lives will be in Chen Xi’s hands alone, and she will be your lifelong savior."

After a brief calm.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing our lives."

What to do, at this point, being alive is already the greatest fortune.

While the Cang King thoroughly punished the Archbishop, the fierce battle outside the arena also reached its conclusion.

The Disaster Church’s attack was unstoppable; every fanatical believer carried a magic bomb, aiming for a victory by kamikaze attacks.

However, before the Disaster Church could celebrate with champagne, Cangdu City’s heavy cavalry tightly surrounded the city, and together with the city guard, they slaughtered the assailants in a pincer movement.

The Right Envoy, having fled desperately and being only slightly better at escaping than the Left Envoy, could barely cling to life under old Li’s hands.

While running, he anxiously looked towards the arena. Hadn’t the Archbishop said he would deal with the Cang King quickly and come to help him kill Li Kangna? Why was there no movement yet?

Li Kangna sneered coldly, "Are you waiting for your Archbishop to come save you?"

"Even if I am!" The plan had progressed to its final stages, and telling Li Kangna would do no harm: "The Archbishop has already snuck into the arena; I’m afraid your Cang King is already dead. When the Archbishop arrives, you will surely die."

"Well, you’ll be disappointed to hear that your Archbishop is probably already a corpse, oh no, His Majesty usually doesn’t leave a full body," Li Kangna laughed, "You from the Disaster Church brazenly planted spies in our dynasty; did you never consider that we might infiltrate your ranks?"

"Impossible!" The Right Envoy confidently declared, "No one can resist the baptism of the Holy Scriptures!"

"You can create magical artifacts that suppress the magic formation of Cangdu, so why couldn’t we develop a method to resist your brainwashing?" Taking advantage of his distraction, old Li swiftly moved and punched him in the back, knocking the Right Envoy into the dirt.

Before the Right Envoy could get up, old Li stepped on him, the tremendous magic power pressing down like a mountain, rendering him immobile.

"You think merely thirty Third Transition Middle Stage warriors could control the heavy cavalry legion? His Majesty had already summoned the priests back three days ago; he anticipated every move you made, and by now, the heavy cavalry legion has probably annihilated your people," old Li said, not wasting words, and punched the enemy to death. Turning around, he saw Lu Hong galloping toward him with a group of heavy-armored cavalry.

"Little Lu, are you hurt?" old Li asked with a slight smile.

"Thanks to you, old Li, I’m fine."

Throughout the sweep, Lu Hong felt the might of this group of heavy-armored cavalry; whether it was a few thousand men or tens of thousands, his three thousand heavy-armored cavalry had nothing to fear, and they just charged to settle everything.

Amidst incredibly high resistance, these skilled soldiers resembled gods of war; their highly honed skills, along with the unique Cang nation five-man battle formation, made facing hundreds an easy task.

After listening to the heavy cavalry Commander’s report, old Li nodded in satisfaction, "Little Lu, you did well this time; I didn’t expect you could kill He Sen. It seems I underestimated you."

"Hope I haven’t disappointed," Lu Hong didn’t know what else to say. This event clearly bore traces of a gamble; whether it was the Cang King’s superior strategy or the Disaster Church’s meticulous planning wasn’t clear, but from old Li’s relaxed demeanor, it appeared the Cang King had won.
