Chapter 383: Chapter 382: Ultimate Weapon! City-Destroying Cannon! (15th Update)

The moment the shower of arrows began to fall, Lin Bai’s eyes flashed with a ruthless determination. He turned his head, grabbed Chu Jiangliu’s shoulder, and shot up into the sky.

A streak of purple-blue lightning emerged from the base of Jia Yueguan. In the blink of an eye, it landed on the city wall!

"The Prince Consort can fly..."

"My heavens! Isn’t it said that only those who exceed the Divine Elixir Realm can fly?"

"Soaring through the space, how I envy him. If only I could fly."

"No need to be modest. If I could fly like the Prince Consort, I’d be a king in the Shenwu Kingdom!"

On the city wall, a large group of soldiers watched Lin Bai landing. They couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment.

"Damn! Damn! Damn!" Chu Jiangliu was terrified by this scene, staring at Lin Bai with an incredulous and excited look in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Lin Bai looked down expressionlessly at the scene below, his gaze fixed on Tuoba Feng in the distance.

At this point,

Princess Chang rushed over. Seeing Lin Bai safe on the city wall, she breathed a sigh of relief. The burden in her heart finally lightened.

Tuoba Feng fixed his gaze on Lin Bai and sneered non-stop, "Wait until the City-Destroying Cannon arrives to shatter Jia Yueguan and slaughter everyone in the city!"

"Slaughter the entire city!"

"Hahahaha."

Tuoba Feng, his laughter filled with glee, led his million-strong army back after achieving nothing.

Ji Bei and Ji Bai, also concerned, rushed over and asked: "Lin Bai, are you okay?"

Lin Bai nodded. It had been extremely dangerous earlier, but luckily, everything was now safe.

"Princess Chang, immediately order the arrest of all the Qi Family Army from the Qi Wangfu. In addition, send someone to the Imperial Capital to warn the Emperor about Bai Huatian," Lin Bai urgently instructed.

"With my father in the Imperial Capital, I believe there won’t be any major issues. I’ll immediately issue the order to arrest all the Qi Family Army," Princess Chang agreed.

Orders were given immediately.

Inside Jia Yueguan, there was a lot of panic.

The entire Qi Family Army, hundreds of thousands strong, was detained. However, they were not killed.

The entire operation took a whole day and night to complete.

During the arrest of the Qi family Army, Ji Bei and Ji Bai both went to assist.

Lin Bai, Princess Chang, and Chu Jiangliu headed to the Commander’s Tent.

Chu Jiangliu asked, "Prince Consort, can you really fly? Are you a master beyond the Divine Elixir Realm?"

Lin Bai smiled and said, "No, I just cultivated a flying Martial Art technique."

Chu Jiangliu enviously said, "Wow, Prince Consort, you indeed have an amazing fate. Even in the Miracle Ridge, such flying martial techniques are priceless. Even a single copy can cause a scramble among the powerful."

Lin Bai gave a faint smile but said nothing more.

Chu Jiangliu gave an awkward laugh and said, "Haha, I was nosy. There are certain things I shouldn’t ask. You and the commander should rest well. I’m going to the front line to check on Tuoba Feng’s movements."

"Wait a minute, Chu Jiangliu, where am I staying?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"Of course, you’ll be staying with Princess Chang. It’s strange you ask, where else could you live? The military camp is not the Imperial Palace, there aren’t many rooms," Chu Jiangliu laughed and quickly ran off.

Lin Bai was stunned as he turned to look at Princess Chang.

Princess Chang’s face turned red as she said, "You indeed must be very tired. You fought the genius disciple of the Shengyue sect outside the city, followed by suppressing the rebellion of the Qi Family Army."

"Come with me. I will arrange a place for you to rest."

Lin Bai nodded and said, "Alright."

After a while, Lin Bai and Princess Chang left the Commander’s Tent and arrived at a particularly quiet and secluded courtyard.

As he entered the room, a refreshing scent wafted through the air.

Inside the room, objects of brilliant red and gilded wares, all carried an air of luxury and opulence.

"Where am I?" Lin Bai was taken aback, it looked a lot like a woman’s boudoir.

"This is where I reside. Feel free to rest here, I’ve no plans to rest for a while. It would be a waste to let this place sit empty," Princess Chang casually explained.

Lin Bai nodded in understanding.

This was Princess Chang’s residence. However, as the situation in Jia Yueguan was not optimistic, Lin Bai, the leading general, had no time to rest and needed to continuously monitor the movement of the Dayue Kingdom.

As a result, Princess Chang rarely had time to rest here herself.

Princess Chang poured a glass of water for Lin Bai.

Lin Bai accepted it and asked, "By the way, what did Tuoba Feng mean by the ’City-Destroying Cannon’?"

Upon hearing the term ’City-Destroying Cannon’, Princess Chang’s gaze hardened, and she said darkly, "It’s a battle behemoth, a deadly weapon specifically designed for sieges."

"The walls of Jia Yueguan, standing approximately a kilometer high, have each brick and patch of earth reinforced by an array master with powerful prohibitions that are impervious to ordinary fifth-grade spiritual weapons, making it nigh impenetrable," she added.

"Therefore, Jia Yueguan is easily defended but difficult to conquer."

"However, with the presence of the City-Destroying Cannon, that’s a different story."

"The City-Destroying Cannon is a devastating weapon crafted by the Dayue Kingdom’s team of artifact refiners in accordance with an ancient secret formula. It has always been unique to the Dayue Kingdom."

"Every single shot from this cannon exudes a terrifying force, comparable to the full-force attack of a strong one in the Human Elixir realm."

"Nanning Pass was previously reduced to ruins under the shots of these cannons."

The mention of the City-Destroying Cannon brought memories of Nanning Pass flooding back to Princess Chang.

Princess Chang would never forget the sight from half a month ago at Nanning Pass; the line-up of twenty-five City-Destroying Cannons, whose shots had the force of a prehistoric giant beast’s roar.

Each cannon made huge holes upon hitting the city walls!

Nearly instantly, the kilometer-high walls of Nanning Pass collapsed.

Princess Chang couldn’t help but wonder, if Tuoba Feng transported those twenty-five cannons to Jia Yueguan, what would happen? Would it become like Nanning Pass?

Princess Chang whispered, "Although the City-Destroying Cannon is powerful, it is extremely difficult to manufacture. Even now, the Dayue Kingdom only has about thirty of them. And yet, Tuoba Feng brought along twenty-five of them this time."

"Obviously, he intends to annihilate the Shenwu Kingdom, otherwise there wouldn’t be any need to bring so many cannons."

Lin Bai agreed with Princess Chang’s reasoning. If Tuoba Feng only wanted to establish his authority within the Dayue Kingdom, he would only need to bring one or two cannons to deter the Shenwu Kingdom.

Bringing twenty-five cannons, that could only mean he planned to wipe out the Shenwu Kingdom.

"However, the City-Destroying Cannon has two major drawbacks."

"One, it is extremely large, the size of a small mountain, and is difficult to move."

"Secondly, because the cannon is crafted from an ancient secret formula, it cannot be stored in a storage bag."

Upon hearing Princess Chang’s explanation, Lin Bai had a basic understanding of the City-Destroying Cannon.

A City-Destroying Cannon, like the Shanhe Ding in the Shenwu Kingdom, were all deadly weapons.

Once it was deployed, it could change the course of a battlefield.

It also served to have a deterrent effect on the neighboring Martial Arts Empires.

Tuoba Feng, bringing forth twenty-five such terrifying City-Destroying Cannons, clearly wasn’t here for entertainment. He planned to swallow the Shenwu Kingdom whole.

Lin Bai said, "Since the City-Destroying Cannon is so terrifying, we can’t let it get close to Jia Yueguan. Otherwise, once the cannons arrive, Jia Yueguan will be in danger."

"Where are the cannons now?"
