Chapter 179 Civil and military officials gather, I shall convene a grand court assembly.
boom! ! !
Lu Bu's halberd struck directly beside the black-clad saint.
That terrifying power immediately caused it to tremble once again.
Although they did not die, they were in a state worse than death.
Surrounded and followed by the powerful figures of Great Xia, Xiao Ling arrived at the location of the black-clad saint.
He looked at the guy who was taking in little air and exhaling much air, his eyes remaining calm and indifferent.
"The Wuling Holy Land is one thing, but I never expected the Yanlin Holy Dynasty to be so aggressive towards me."
The former is, after all, a sacred land in the Southern Region, so their actions are understandable.
However, the latter, who was also a force in the Eastern Region and even a major holy dynasty in the Eastern Region, was willing to kill him for the sake of outsiders.
"Tell me about the situation of your Yanlin Holy Dynasty, and I may decide to give you a quicker death."
Xiao Ling spoke to the other party.
Blood gurgled from the black-clad saint's mouth, his eyes filled with contempt.
"court death!"
Upon seeing this, Lü Bu, who was standing to the side, immediately flew into a rage and slashed at the black-clad saint with his halberd.
moment.
The right half of the opponent's body was smashed to pieces.
Saints possess extremely strong regenerative abilities, so these injuries are not life-threatening, but they will inevitably suffer pain and torment.
but.
This black-clad saint was a tough nut to crack; even after being tortured by Lü Bu, his eyes remained unchanged.
"Those who can enter the Saint Realm are all people with strong will."
"However, before me, even the toughest bone cannot withstand my might."
A light appeared in Xiao Ling's hand.
With a wave of his hand, the light instantly transformed into a stream of light, merging into the body of the black-clad saint.
The powerful figures watched with great curiosity as the light that had flowed from Xiao Ling's hand and merged with the black-clad saint mingled with his own.
Your Majesty's methods are endless; this must be extraordinary.
moment.
The black-clad saint's expression trembled, and within moments it became increasingly distorted.
He dragged his already severely injured body, rolling and stumbling on the ground.
"what!!!"
Just moments ago he was resolute and fearless, but now he was writhing on the ground in pain.
Judging from that expression, one can only imagine the immense suffering he must have endured.
Xiao Ling remained expressionless.
He just stared at the other person, his eyes still indifferent.
However, the powerful figures of Great Xia standing nearby were all deeply shocked by the commotion and situation.
For a Saint-level being to behave in this way, one can only imagine the extent of the pain they are enduring.
After holding out for only a dozen breaths, the black-clad saint finally couldn't hold on any longer.
"No no no!!!"
"I said! I said!"
At this moment, the black-clad saint took the initiative to beg for mercy.
Judging from the other person's appearance, they are probably suffering far more than death.
Xiao Ling did not stop immediately. After waiting for several breaths, he waved his hand, and the stream of light returned to his hand as a beam of light.
This item was something he obtained when he completed a mission.
It is called the Soul-Eating Insect.
It can merge into the body of a living being, corrode its soul, and suffer all kinds of pain and torment while being devoured.
This kind of thing isn't very useful in normal times, but it's definitely effective at torturing and disciplining people.
Xiao Ling looked at the other person.
After enduring the torment of the Soul-Eating Insects, the black-clad saint's face was filled with terror.
Sensing Xiao Ling's gaze, he said without hesitation, "I am Su Feng, the Prince of Yanlin Holy Dynasty. I have come here to capture you on the orders of the Yanlin Holy Lord."
"I don't want to hear this nonsense. Get to the point of your Yanlin Holy Dynasty," Xiao Ling said bluntly.
He already had a general idea of who the visitor was.
What he needed to know was the strength of the Yanlin Holy Dynasty. Since the two sides were enemies, he had to understand the other side's strength as well.
"Okay, okay, I say!"
Prince Su Feng decisively said, "The Yanlin Holy Dynasty is the only holy dynasty in the western part of the Eastern Region. It controls seventy-three states and has nearly a hundred imperial dynasties under its jurisdiction."
"Among them, there are more than a thousand Heavenly Venerables, more than a hundred Saints, and a total of one hundred kings and marquises in the Holy Dynasty, all of whom are Saints."
"Besides that, the Flame Scale Saint Lord is even more powerful. He was already a peak eighth-grade Saint Realm existence thousands of years ago. As for his current strength, it is difficult to fathom."
Thousands of Heavenly Venerables!
One Hundred Saints!
Hearing what Su Feng said, even though Xiao Ling had been prepared, he was still very surprised.
The strength of the Flame Scale Holy Land was far greater than he had estimated.
As expected of a Holy Dynasty, even the strongest Imperial Dynasty would never be able to contend with it.
Of course, his Great Xia Dynasty was an exception.
Given enough time, it would not be difficult to confront or even surpass the Yanlin Holy Dynasty.
"Besides these, is there anything else?"
Xiao Ling continued to ask.
Su Feng shook his head and said, "My strength ranks only in the middle among the hundred kings and marquises of the Holy Dynasty. That's all I know. As for the rest, it's beyond my knowledge."
Xiao Ling stared at the other person.
There was only fear in its eyes. After experiencing the power of the Soul-Eating Insect, it obviously dared not play any other tricks in front of it.
However, this also made Xiao Ling cautious.
Even though Su Feng is only ranked in the middle among the hundred kings and marquises, his strength is already so formidable.
The kings and marquises of the Yanlin Holy Dynasty who rank higher are undoubtedly even more powerful.
Currently, our Great Xia only has Lu Bu as a top-tier fighter; the other powerful figures are still improving.
If another powerful figure were to arrive, it would undoubtedly pose a significant threat.
Just then, Su Feng said again, "Although there are countless powerful figures in the Yanlin Holy Dynasty, most of these kings and marquises are stationed in various territories of the Holy Dynasty to defend against enemies, and they generally will not be mobilized."
Also.
Hearing Su Feng's words, Xiao Ling could understand.
While the Yanlin Holy Dynasty is indeed powerful, it is not the only Holy Dynasty; it also has other formidable enemies.
This would give Great Xia some breathing room to develop.
time!
All I lack is time!
Given enough time, there's no need to fear the Yanlin Holy Dynasty. We can easily crush them without any major issues.
"killed."
Lu Bu, who was standing nearby, immediately swung his halberd and killed Su Feng on the spot.
Xiao Ling paused to think for a moment, then strode quickly toward the Imperial Palace.
At the same time, he said, "Immediately issue my decree, ordering all civil and military officials of the Great Xia to gather together. I want to convene a grand court assembly immediately."
moment.
As soon as Xiao Ling issued his imperial decree, the entire Great Xia Dynasty sprang into action.
Great meeting!
Such a gathering of all the powerful civil and military figures of the Great Xia Dynasty was quite a spectacle, and it had only been done once before, when His Majesty ascended the throne.
But back then, the Great Xia was just an imperial dynasty, how could it compare to the great imperial dynasty that now controls a single province?
