Chen Jiuyang had no time to sigh with emotion.
Prince Yan then said, "We have nothing to worry about. Those who should truly worry about themselves are the old generations of noble families hidden in the secret realms."
Chen Jiuyang nodded. He truly didn't know enough about the current martial arts world. After this 318 City incident, he planned to catch up on relevant knowledge.
Prince Yan raised his hand and beckoned. The Sky Dragon Breaking City Spear flew out from the mountainside and into Prince Yan's hand.
Prince Yan threw the corpse of King Daixuluo in front of Chen Jiuyang and glanced in the direction of 318 City. "The chaos in 318 City has been quelled. Prince Qian, the subsequent matters will be handled by you. I need to return to the Northern Garrison Army and will not stay here any longer."
"This contains my brother's divine soul."
After speaking, Prince Yan placed a small bottle emitting a strong life source aura in front of Chen Jiuyang. Then, holding the Sky Dragon Breaking City Spear, he strode away. With one step, he covered hundreds of meters, and within a few breaths, Prince Yan's figure had vanished.
Chen Jiuyang took a deep breath. If not for the Sky Dragon Breaking City Spear in his hand, Chen Jiuyang would never have been able to connect this young man with graying temples to the famous and widely circulated Prince Yan.
He seemed like an ordinary person, lacking the imposing aura of an unparalleled war god one might expect.
What did this mean? Prince Yan's martial arts strength had truly reached an unfathomable level; even he couldn't discern any edge to Prince Yan's power.
This corroborated the comments made by the old monk Zuokong and the old Daoist Wuwei about Prince Yan.
The martial arts destiny of Long Country, combined over thousands of years, had given birth to Prince Yan.
These words were not false.
From this, one could also infer how terrifying the old monster of the Lotus Sect was.
"Hoo!"
Chen Jiuyang took a deep breath. These were not matters for him, who was only at the fourth level of the Earth Realm, to worry about.
Chen Jiuyang carefully placed the small bottle containing Prince Gong's divine soul into his embrace. Then, carrying the corpse of King Daixuluo in one hand and picking up the Quan Jian with the other, with the Yan Sheng Saber at his waist, Chen Jiuyang strode towards 318 City.
"Kill!"
On the battlefield where the fighting continued, everyone's eyes were bloodshot with the desire to kill.
"King Daixuluo is dead! Those who surrender will not be killed!"
Suddenly, a voice like rolling thunder exploded in the sky. Everyone looked up and saw Chen Jiuyang flying through the air, barely maintaining his position mid-air, holding the corpse of King Daixuluo.
Then.
Chen Jiuyang released the corpse of King Daixuluo, letting it fall to the ground from the air as if it were the carcass of a dog casually discarded by him.
"Bang—"
A muffled thud echoed.
The entire battlefield fell silent.
All the warriors of the Yin Shen Kingdom had blank minds, their faces pale, their eyes filled with terror.
"Clang—"
As one warrior from the Yin Shen Kingdom dropped his weapon to the ground.
Then, the remaining warriors of the Yin Shen Kingdom one after another chose to surrender.
To capture the king, one must first capture the leader. King Daixuluo was dead, and there was no longer any point in continuing the battle.
"Boundless Heavenly Venerate!" The old monk Wuwei closed his eyes tightly, chanting the Daoist scripture, his heart unsettled.
"Namo Amitabha!" The old monk Zuokong also closed his eyes, chanting Buddhist verses, his heart also extremely unsettled.
"This is! An Earth Realm cultivator striking against a Heaven Realm expert!" Gong Luoxue and Gong Liexian's expressions were shocked, then horrified.
Chen Jiuyang took in everyone's reactions. He felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.
He never expected that he, Chen Jiuyang, would one day rely on the prestige of others.
However, to end this meaningless battle, using it once was not a big deal.
Half an hour after the battle ended, the martial arts world of Long Country was shocked. Two hours later, the news reached the globe.
"Is Long Country about to produce a second Prince Yan?"
"An Earth Realm cultivator striking against a Heaven Realm expert! Remarkable, truly remarkable!"
"List Prince Qian of Long Country as an SSS-class dangerous individual!"
"The World Martial Arts Ranking competition in half a year will be exciting!"
"This person must be eliminated!"
It was only after the chaos in 318 City was resolved that Chen Jiuyang informed everyone of the truth: "It was Prince Yan who acted..."
"So that's how it is! Boundless Heavenly Venerate, Prince Yan is unharmed!"
"Prince Yan rescued Prince Gong's divine soul. Amitabha, good karma, good karma."
"However, to have resisted the divine might of King Daixuluo for so long is also truly extraordinary!"
Gong Luoxue and Gong Liexian, in front of Chen Jiuyang, had completely lost their arrogance. What remained was complete admiration.
Chen Jiuyang took out the small bottle and said, "Next is the treatment for Prince Gong. Everyone, please leave the room."
Afterward, the five of them withdrew from the room, and the door was closed tightly.
Chen Jiuyang took out over a hundred silver needles, placed a leaf into Prince Gong's mouth to hold, and then slowly applied his medical skills.
One day later.
"Bang—"
The room where Prince Gong was located suddenly exploded, and a divine might belonging to a Heaven Realm king instantly surged throughout 318 City.
Countless people immediately put down what they were doing, their gazes collectively fixed on the location of Prince Gong's manor, and then their expressions became excited:
"This is... Prince Gong's aura!"
"Prince Gong has awakened!"
"Prince Gong is awake!"
Inside Prince Gong's manor.
"Hoo!" Prince Gong retracted his divine might and slowly exhaled a turbid breath. He looked at his Princess Consort and the others with some confusion: "What happened to me?"
"Husband!"
"Father!"
Chen Jiuyang chuckled, cupped his fists in a salute, and said, "Prince Gong has awakened. After twenty years of not seeing each other, I will return to recuperate from my injuries."
"Boundless Heavenly Venerate, let's go together."
"Namo Amitabha, Prince Gong's family is reunited. Good karma, let's go together."
The three of them walked out of Prince Gong's manor.
Within 318 City, many buildings were dilapidated, and the smell of blood permeated the air.
However, the sun shone in the sky, and everyone was filled with the drive to live.
The destroyed buildings could simply be rebuilt with a little more time.
With family still alive, Prince Gong awakened, and the disaster averted, what was there to fear?
The future days would only get better and better.
Half a day later, Prince Gong, accompanied by the Princess Consort, Gong Luoxue, and Gong Liexian, visited Chen Jiuyang. Prince Gong bowed deeply to Chen Jiuyang and said in a clear and resonant voice, "This time, thank you, Prince Qian. My Gong family will never forget this!"
"Thank you, Prince Qian!" The Princess Consort, Gong Luoxue, and Gong Liexian also bowed deeply: "We will never forget!"
Chen Jiuyang also said seriously, "Prince Gong, there is no need to be so polite. As kings of Long Country, Prince Gong has guarded the border for decades. You do not need to be so formal with me. I have merely done my humble best."
Prince Gong stood up and looked at Chen Jiuyang with satisfaction in his eyes. "I was injured and in a coma for twenty years. For Long Country to have produced a figure like Prince Qian among the younger generation, my decades of guarding the border are fully rewarded, meaning my time was not wasted."
This was the mentality and spirit of a pillar of the nation who carried the national cauldron sixty years ago.
Chen Jiuyang cupped his fists in a salute and said, "Since Prince Gong has recovered, I should also return home."
"This trip to 318 City has been very rewarding."
"Prince Qian, why the hurry to leave? Please stay in 318 City for a few more days, and let us fulfill our duties as hosts." The Princess Consort said, trying to persuade him to stay.
This time, Prince Qian had shown great kindness to 318 City and her Gong family. More importantly, she seemed to have noticed her daughter, Gong Liexian, developing a crush.
Gong Liexian seemed to have feelings for Chen Jiuyang.
