Chapter 153: Expulsion from the Xuan Continent
"Your Majesty, whatever you decide is fine. I have no words to say, but please do not involve my brother," Tianya said, looking at Yang Chen with eyes that shimmered with a strange light.
"Hmph! I spare you from death because I consider your intentions are for my sake. However, I will strip you of your position as Fourth Legion Commander and expel you from the Xuan Continent," Yang Chen declared.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing my life," Tianya replied respectfully.
"Tian Guang, receive the order," Yang Chen commanded.
"I am here," Tian Guang responded.
"I appoint Tian Guang to temporarily take over as Captain of the Fourth Legion of the Shadow Kill Empire," Yang Chen said to reassure everyone.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tian Guang looked at Tianya with concern.
"Brother, you..."
"Tian Guang, do well. I will be fine," Tianya said with a smile.
"Brother, without you by my side, I can't do anything well," Tian Guang said sadly.
"Believe in yourself. If you don't believe in yourself, how can others believe in you?" Tianya encouraged.
"Yes, brother, I understand," Tian Guang said, then asked, "Where are you going, brother?"
"Where am I going?" Tianya looked at Yang Chen, then stood up and said, "I will go wherever I need to go; you don't have to worry. When you are not in the Xuan Continent, you will naturally see your brother. If it really doesn't work out, I will come to find you. Work hard; the Emperor is a good ruler. Without me by your side, you will be able to grow even faster."
"Yes, brother. I will wait for you," Tian Guang said.
"Mm." Tianya nodded and then respectfully said, "Your Majesty, Fourth Legion Commander Tianya takes his leave!"
"Mm, you may go."
"Long live Your Majesty!" Tianya knelt on the ground and respectfully bowed three times before getting up and leaving, accompanied by the Celestial Calculator.
"Prepare the troops, assemble! Three days from now, we will officially march against the Rebel King!" Yang Chen shouted.
"Yes, long live Your Majesty!"
"Chen Gu!" Yang Chen called out. "I am here," a plump man stepped out from the crowd.
"How many beast corpses have been gathered?" Yang Chen asked.
"A total of fifty million beast corpses have been collected; among them, fifteen million are fifth-tier beasts and eight million are sixth-tier beasts!" Chen Gu reported.
"Not enough! Issue my orders to collect beast corpses recklessly, as long as they died within the past year!" Yang Chen commanded.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
“Nightmare Legion Commander.”
“I am here.” Shi Heng stepped forward and said.
“I command you and all members of the Nightmare Legion to immediately head to the Heavenly Continent. Use every means possible, regardless of rank. I want to see twenty million Demon Beast corpses within two months!”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Zhan Tao.”
“I am here.”
“You will return to the Earth Continent immediately and do everything you can to collect thirty million Demon Beast corpses for me! Again, regardless of rank.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
“Good, court dismissed! Everyone, if this matter is successful, in three months, our army will establish a nation! We will officially declare ourselves emperor and make our name known across the Eastern Continent!” Yang Chen shouted loudly.
“Congratulations, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!”
Tianle City, Palace,
“Your Majesty, Yang Chen of the Shadow Kill Legion has already proclaimed himself emperor in private. He now has ten Saints of Combat, and with the Demon Beasts, he commands an army of six million.”
“What does having ten Saints of Combat matter? As it stands, even if he Yang Chen proclaims himself emperor, he will not be granted land in my Xuan Continent.” Fan Ying Tian said.
"What are you planning to do, Your Majesty? If Chitianba finds out the truth, then..."
"They won't find out. The only person who knew about that matter is already dead," Fan Yingtian said.
"But the people from the Meteorological Sect are with Yang Chen."
"It doesn't matter. Since the two princes died, Long'er has already possessed the Emperor's Star Will. The Meteorological Sect can no longer reach Long'er," Fan Yingtian said confidently. "Now the biggest trouble is Southern Territory's Heavenly Teachings. Who exactly is this Tongtian Cult Master Yao Tongtian? He actually has ten Fighting Saints following him, already possessing half of my empire's strength. Now this Tongtian Cult Master has organized various sects, and if we give him another month, he really might have a chance to recover those sects!"
"Then, aren't we just making a wedding dress for others? Your Majesty, what should we do?"
"Forget it, perhaps we were too anxious. Starting tomorrow, summon them to submit; take as many as we can. We can't let all the benefits go to this Heavenly Teachings!" Fan Yingtian said.
"Yes, Your Majesty. By the way, there are rumors throughout the East that on July Seventh, Prince Chihong is marrying Princess Silvermoon. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"The news spread from the Shadow Kill Legion; it must be that old fox Chitianba who said it. Otherwise, Yang Chen wouldn't be concerned about such trivial matters. Let Silvermoon prepare. By the way, what is the Duke's residence doing now?" Fan Yingtian inquired.
"They are preparing for a banquet."
"Hmph, I knew it, that fox."
A month later, Yang Chen captured twenty-five cities, while Zhou Shui captured eight cities. At the same time, Yang Chen's kill value had risen to ninety-six million and was increasing at a rate of one hundred thousand per day. Soon, it would break one hundred million and complete one of the three major missions: the Path of Growth! At that time, what rewards the system would grant remained unknown; however, since it was a peak mission, how could the rewards be simple?
"Tell King Yingtian Zhou Shui that in three days, we will directly take Yunxiao City."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Three days later, Yunxiao City.
"I never expected that I, Huang Shan, would actually be defeated by a young brat!" Huang Shan said unwillingly, but the situation was already beyond redemption.
"There are many things you wouldn't expect. I want to know, who is really supporting you behind the scenes, is it Wan San Shi or Wan San Bai?" Yang Chen said.
"You... how do you know?" Huang Shan asked in surprise.
"Nothing much, it should be Wan San Shi. Otherwise, you three factions wouldn't have the guts to rebel! Even if someone incited you, you wouldn't dare to revolt. Now, the people from the Wan Jin Merchant Association have retreated, right?" Yang Chen said calmly.
"It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up like this!" Huang Shan said angrily.
"I think that without you, the Wan Jin Merchant Association wouldn't have approached me. Don't you agree, King Ying Tian?" Yang Chen turned to say.
"You know this too?" King Ying Tian Zhou Shui said helplessly.
"Zhou Shui, you too?" Huang Shan exclaimed. Zhou Shui nodded helplessly.
"It seems that in this game, Wan San Qian has won." Zhou Shui said bitterly. There is a historical record in the Chronicles of the Shadow Kill Dynasty: In the first year of Shadow Kill, on April 28th, His Majesty led three million soldiers and three million demon beasts northward with unstoppable momentum. During this time, wherever the Shadow Kill army went, the city lord of that city would be assassinated, the city gates would be wide open, and the common people would welcome them. A month later, under His Majesty's leadership, the original three million citizens under Rebel King erupted in chaos, along with Zhou Shui's army, totaling eleven million troops and three million demon beasts, advancing toward Yunxiao City.
On June 1st, ten million troops captured Yunxiao City and took two hundred thousand soldiers prisoner. On June 3rd, five Dou Sheng powerhouses under Rebel King fell one after another, and His Majesty advanced from Four Star Dou Huang to Seven Stars Dou Huang!
