Eternal Sacred King

“The army of the Country of Yan?”

Su Hong frowned, feeling perplexed. “The Country of Yan is without a leader. The first thing right now should be to elect a new king, and to keep the army and the officials’ morale high. Why would they lead an army to deal with us?”

“It doesn’t make sense.”

Uncle Zheng shook his head as well. “There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers. That is the entire army of the Country of Yan. Will they go to this extent just to deal with the Su family? I don’t think so.”

“Cultivators?”

There was a coldness in Su Zimo’s eyes and he thought to himself. “It must be the Joyful Clan!”

Ten days ago, the Joyful Clan sent hundreds of cultivators to hunt down Su Zimo. In the end, all of them were slain in Cang Lang Mountain Range. The Joyful Clan could not possibly take this lying down.

More importantly, everyone in the Su family would no longer need to leave their homeland to go to other states, and the black armored cavalry would finally have a place to stay for good.

“Young Master, hurry, accept the edict!” Uncle Zheng was excited, he could not hide his happiness and he urged him softly.

“But…”

Su Hong was in a difficult position. He had never seen the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty before, and the imperial edict came all of a sudden. He could not help but feel worried and perturbed.

Su Hong looked toward Su Zimo automatically.

Su Zimo frowned, shaking his head.

He had never seen anyone from the Great Zhou Dynasty as well. The only possibility was that it was Die Yue’s doing.

Before Die Yue left, she told Su Zimo that she had left three gifts for him. One of them was the spirit root, but she did not tell him the remaining two gifts. Could it be that one of the gifts was the crowning of his older brother?

But that did not make any sense.

Su Zimo felt baffled, he whispered to his older brother. “Brother, you should accept the edict first.”

Su Hong nodded and took a deep breath, making a bow, before he knelt down on one knee, saying in a low voice, “Su Hong accepts the imperial edict.”

The golden armored leader waved his hands and the imperial edict landed softly on Su Hong’s hands. It sparkled with gold radiance, exuding a majestic aura, as if the emperor was here.

Right then, fumes and dust billowed in the wind from not too far away. There was a thunderous sound of hooves. The Country of Yan’s army had just arrived, they were led by famed generals of the Country of Yan, among them was Wei Mingcheng, the general of Jian An City.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers came galloping over. There were so many of them, one could not see the end of the line.

The generals at the front line dismounted and knelt down on one knee at sight of Su Hong, shouting loudly, “We pay respects to the King!”

“We pay respects to the King!”

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers yelled and the loud voices resonated.

The Su family finally realized that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers were not here to seek revenge, instead they were here to pay respects to the new king of the Country of Yan, and to welcome him back to stand guard at the capital.

Although this was a good piece of news, the Su family seemed to be at a loss. They felt that everything was surreal and they seemed to be dreaming.

Su Zimo raised his head, looking toward the carriage that was floating in midair. He fixed his gaze on it as if trying to see through it.

Swoosh!

A porcelain white fair arm reached out from the carriage to lift the bead curtain. A beauty came walking out from the carriage. She was dressed in a yellow long dress, with a ribbon tied at her waist, fully accentuating her exquisite figure.

The lady had complexion that was fair as snow. She looked refreshing and mesmerizing. The moment she exited the carriage, the graceful and magnificent carriage seemed to pale in comparison to her.

“Zimo, didn’t I say that we will definitely meet again?” The lady waved her hands at Su Zimo, smiling.
