Chapter 553 Departure
“Those who charge into battle will be rewarded, and those who retreat will be killed. Will you follow me on an expedition to foreign lands to slay demons and monsters?”

Xiao Han shouted.

“Kill the demons and slay the devils.”

Such fierce soldiers made the eight priests in the underground palace tremble with fear. Even though they were powerful immortal kings, they couldn’t help but feel a little insignificant at this moment.

“Is this the dynasty that the Emperor created?”

The Eighth Priest spoke up, his tone sighing, “From a mere mortal, in just two hundred years, he has grown to such a terrifying level now.”

The rise of the Xiliang Dynasty is a miracle and an incredible thing for the entire Fairyland, but for others who know about it, they will be terrified and even fearful. Two hundred years is too short for many creatures in the Fairyland. Although it is not a blink of an eye, it is probably just the time for a retreat.

And in the true sense, the Xiliang Dynasty has not set foot in the fairyland for two hundred years, and it is not even a hundred years. In just a few decades, such a huge dynasty has walked out of the Jiuzhou Cave Heaven, and then spent several more decades to conquer the entire Xijizhou, making a number of dynasties and sects tremble in fear.

“Yes.”

The burly chief priest stood on the ladder, looking at the figure, that was the emperor of the entire Xiliang Dynasty, their backbone.

“In heaven and on earth, only the Emperor can do this.”

These priests are all powerful ones from the Fairyland. They have joined the Xiliang Dynasty for quite some time. Although they have not experienced the many battles in Jiuzhou and blocked the Fairyland, these priests have also grown step by step with the Xiliang Dynasty. Their hands are stained with the blood of fairy generals and fairy kings. They have slaughtered many dynasties and destroyed many sects. In their hearts, the Xiliang Dynasty is invincible as long as the emperor is there.

Rather than saying that they are loyal to the Xiliang Dynasty, it would be more accurate to say that they are loyal to Xiao Han, the Xiliang Emperor. The black guards cover the faces of these worshippers, but the fighting spirit in their bodies is no less than that of the soldiers.

There were several figures in the underground palace, including Empress Ning Xi, Concubine Nie Si Niang, Xiao Yue Er, Qing Yao, Yu Wen Yu Lou, and Dayue Er. As for Empress Miao Yu, she stayed in Shuiyun Mountain, sitting in Jiuzhou and dispatching the four directions. Emperor Xiao Han led the army in person. If there was a war in the fairyland, Empress Miao Yu would preside over it. No matter her cultivation or power, in the entire Xiliang Dynasty, she was only second to Emperor Xiao Han. No matter those brave generals who came out of Jiuzhou or the strong soldiers from the fairyland, Empress Miao Yu could suppress them.

After all, her own prestige lies here. Two hundred years ago, when the child was in Xiliang, she had already been helping Xiao Han deal with state affairs. Moreover, Miaoyu’s cultivation was extremely strong. She made breakthroughs again in the past hundred years, and completely developed the phoenix blood in her body to its peak. Her cultivation broke free from the shackles and stepped into the peak realm of the Immortal King. In addition to the phoenix blood and the natal weapon refined by Xiao Han himself, her strength has already stepped into the emperor realm, and even the realm of a half-step Taoist master.

Looking at the entire fairyland, apart from Xiao Han, no one can be Miaoyu’s opponent, not even those veteran emperors. With him in charge, no matter what happens, everything can be foolproof. Emperors and concubines like Qingyao, Yuwen Yulou, and Dayue’er, although powerful, are far inferior to Miaoyu in terms of prestige. Even Ning Xi cannot do what Miaoyu does. The entire Xiliang Dynasty is well-respected.

“It makes my blood boil.”

Qingyao pursed her lips, wrapped in a gorgeous robe, and looked at her husband with a slight smile on her lips.

“Yes.” Yuwen Yulou nodded slightly: “Killing in the fierce area is not enough, so we have to deal with these flat-haired beasts and let them know how much we Xiliang people love us.”

“The army moves out.”

Xiao Han put his hands behind his back and shouted loudly. Under the Emperor, nine thousand-foot-long dragons roared, making a deafening dragon roar. He stretched out his right hand with five fingers spread out, condensing a ball of powerful energy, making the surrounding space tremble and ripples spread.

“open.”

Xiao Han opened his mouth, and his words came true. The azure ball of energy in his hand broke away from his palm and soared into the sky. In an instant, it crossed a hundred thousand feet. After a few breaths, the blue ball of light exploded at the end of the sky.

“Boom, boom, boom”

Immediately afterwards, the space shattered, and a huge black vortex appeared above Zhendong City. The space twisted, and a powerful suction force erupted. The black vortex kept expanding, almost covering half of the sky.

“Set off.”

Liao Huan leaped forward, and the armor on his body glowed with a dark light. Then pieces of armor extended from his shoulders, wrapping his entire head. His cloak whistled, and a huge warship slowly rose into the air from the ground. It was a full 100,000 feet long, with more than a dozen particle thrusters running at the same time, stirring up a strong wind. It was the flagship of General Zhendong, and it was also the crystallization of the highest technology of the Xiliang Dynasty. There were only five such flagships in the entire Xiliang Dynasty. There was one in each of the four towns in the east, west, south and north, and the fleet stationed in Kyushu also had one as a flagship.

Liao Huan landed on the flagship White Tiger. The deck cracked and a ladder appeared. Liao Huan entered the interior of the White Tiger. The White Tiger was 130,000 feet long and 90,000 feet wide. It was equipped with a second-level supercomputing platform and a second-level weapons depot. These weapons and firepower could easily kill a powerful Immortal King.

“Push forward with all your strength.”

Liao Huan gave the order, and all 36 particle thrusters of the White Tiger ship were turned on, rushing towards the black vortex, and the speed was getting faster and faster. Warships took off from the ground, followed the flagship, rushed into the vortex, stepped into the void channel, and rushed to the foreign land. Densely packed warships rushed into the sky, one after another. Even the smallest county-level battleship was a thousand feet long, which could be called a behemoth. The Xiliang Dynasty dispatched thousands of such warships, and there were more than two hundred Xiliang-class battleships.

Xiao Han watched the fleet take off, and when they all rushed into the vortex, he returned to the hall, sat on the throne, and said in a deep voice: “Let’s go.”

“Set off.”

A golden armored general walked out, twenty feet tall, holding a sheathed long sword in his arms, and opened his mouth to shout. Around the underground palace, golden armored soldiers stood with long swords, nine thousand-foot dragons roared, pulling the huge emperor, soaring into the sky, and heading towards the vortex. After the emperor entered the void, the vortex began to close until it disappeared completely. Void, what is void? It belongs to another layer of space outside this world space, which is extremely weak and chaotic. There are void storms everywhere, which is extremely unstable and prone to space collapse.
