146: C146 Azure Dragon Army

C146 Azure Dragon Army

Qi Tianyuan's voice was deep and trembling. He could not control himself and even the entire palace was letting out a slight wail along with his grief.

The palace, which had always been lonely, was even more forlorn.

"Elder Qi, Senior Qin has already told me that you sacrificed your son's life for his sake, and even more so for the sake of protecting the young prince of the ancient country. In this lonely life …" Xiao Chen sighed and slowly said, "Furthermore, the last inheritance of the ancient country, the Burning Body, will be used to protect the ancient country for 1700 years …"

At this moment, the eyes of Xiao Chen and the two others turned red.

What kind of righteousness and loyalty was this!? He actually didn't even care about sacrificing his own flesh and blood. Furthermore, he even transformed into a Heroic Spirit to protect the ancient country for almost two thousand years. This kind of strength could be said to be incomparable.

To sacrifice one's own son, how much perseverance and determination was this? Was Qi Tianyuan heartbroken? Of course, that was his own son, blood related to him, how could it not hurt? This was definitely a heart-wrenching pain, but he had no other choice. It would be difficult to get both of them into his home country, and without a home country, where would he be able to get them from?

He had to give up his son.

Thinking of this, Qi Tianyuan drank his wine and cried. He was in so much pain that he wished he were dead.

These two things alone had to be passed down through the ages.

"My Lord has not forgotten me …" "He didn't forget himself …" Qi Tianyun cried loudly. Chu Yanran, who was at the side, also cried sorrowfully. Xiao Chen and Chu Yuan, on the other hand, could not help but shed hot tears for Qi Tianyuan.

Then, Qi Tianyuan laughed.

The laughter was so relaxed that it made him feel as though it had never happened before. There were many inheritances in the ancient country, and his responsibility had already been fulfilled. It was time for him to take a break. It had been 1700 years, and he was really tired.

He wanted to go to the underworld to accompany his wife and children …

Buzz! Buzz!

The ancient country shook, and white smoke emerged. A middle-aged man with a head full of white hair walked out. His face was resolute, but his face was now full of tears. His eyes were filled with longing and disappointment.

Looking at it made one's heart ache.

And at this moment, Qi Tianyuan was truly worthy of heartache.

At this moment, Qi Tianyuan smiled at Xiao Chen and the two others, "Haha, the ancient country has successors. I can go now without worry. In the future, the fate of the ancient country will be up to you."

With that, Qi Tianyuan stroked his head of white hair and said, "I'm old, and I can't hold on any longer, and I don't want to. 1700 years have passed, and my wife and children are still waiting for me. I have to go find them …"

These words were inexplicably heart-wrenching.

Following that, his gaze landed on Xiao Chen. There was a look of anticipation and pleading on his face. After that, he said bitterly, "Little friend, this old man begs you to bring me a message."

Xiao Chen thought in his heart as he nodded his head.

"Senior's instructions."

Qi Tianyuan laughed and said, "Tell the Lord for me, that I don't need to regret it, I have never resented him. Men are supposed to throw away their heads and shed hot blood for the sake of their country. "I'll be leaving first. I'll be going now, let him take care of himself …"

After which, Qi Tianyuan slowly walked into the distance. His silhouette also gradually faded before finally disappearing.

"Brothers, my wife, children, all of you walk slower. I'm old, I can't walk anymore. Wait for me …" These words echoed unceasingly within the ancient hall, shaking the hearts of these three people.

The three of them stood there for a long time with solemn expressions on their faces.

Afterwards, the three of them left. They had already spent several months here, so they needed to leave.

Boom! *

Three figures flew out from the lake surface. They were shockingly Xiao Chen, Chu Yuan and the two others.

Now that the three of them had undergone the transformation from the legacy of the ancient country, their strength undoubtedly soared by leaps and bounds.

"There is an account that we need to settle." Xiao Chen slowly said, his gaze filled with cold arrogance. Back then, they had been forced to a perilous state by his army of Dao and Profound Realm. Xiao Chen had always remembered this debt.

But now, it was time to settle things.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense instantly turned into hundreds of li. After that, he used his Spiritual Sense again. Those soldiers actually did not leave but stayed by the lake instead. Were they waiting for the three of them all this time?

Then, he smiled. That would be perfect for him not to take the time to look for them.

However, in the next moment, what shocked the three of them was that all the experts from the Dao and Profound Realm jumped down from their Demonic Beasts and knelt on one knee. They were extremely respectful to Xiao Chen, as though they were seeing a sovereign.

"The Azure Dragon Army greets my lord!" The leader of the Dao and Profound Realm experts said, his eyes filled with respect, while the dozens of people behind him also spoke in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.

"We will participate, my lord!"

Chu Yuan and Chu Yanran were not the only ones who were shocked, even Xiao Chen was shocked. Looking at the people kneeling on one knee, he could not help but feel some doubt, "You called me Master?!"

"You are the inheritor of the ancient country, and we are the personal guard of the ancient country's lord. We naturally have to respect you as the king. From today onwards, you will be the lord of the ancient country."

The person in the lead said.

Xiao Chen could not help but feel some shock.

"Then you all …"

The head of the personal guard said respectfully: "I am the leader of the Azure Dragon Army, my name is Yang Yan, the one hundred and twenty people behind me are the only remaining portion of the Azure Dragon Army." Speaking up to here, Yang Yan's voice was somewhat low.

"In the past, there were four factions of personal guards, named after the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise. The other three factions were all destroyed during the Ancient Kingdom's calamity. Although my personal guard wasn't destroyed, it's still not enough.

Yang Yan's words touched three people.

Xiao Chen slowly relaxed his hatred for the three of them. They had done this in order to protect the ancient country. What crime did they commit? It would be a great disrespect if they were the ones to barge in.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt great admiration for the people in front of him. They were the same as Elder Qi; they had protected the ancient country for more than 1700 years; they were true heroes.

It was worthy of admiration and praise.

"Brother Yang, what is the current situation of the Azure Dragon Army?" Xiao Chen asked.

Yang Yan smiled shamefully: "The Ancient Kingdom has met with calamity. We fought valiantly, but in the end we were unable to withstand the invasion of the Heavenly Dao and other countries. We had lost over ten thousand experts as personal guards, among which the Azure Dragon Army had lost over ten thousand.

In the past, we were all experts in The Heaven realm, and the leaders of the personal guards of all four directions were even at the pinnacle of The Heaven realm.

As he said till here, Yang Yan's eyes filled with pride.

"But now, with the great loss of our strength and the corrosion from the years, we have all regressed to the level of Dao and Profound Realm. I am currently at the peak of the Dao and Profound Realm and my brothers are all around the fifth level of the Dao and Profound Realm."

"Hua!"

The three of them could not help but take in a breath of cold air.

Looking at Yang Yan and the rest, their expressions were filled with shock. Didn't that mean that the ancient country used to have an army of forty thousand The Heaven realm! It must be known that the Profound Sky Continent s today were incomparably rare, yet there were actually over ten thousand people in the ancient country. This was simply too shocking.

But today, with the remaining one hundred and twenty people, the strength of the Azure Dragon Army was actually at the fifth stage of Dao and Profound Realm or above. If such an invincible army was brought out, it would be enough to sweep away an entire country.

As expected of the ancient country, its foundations were actually so deep.

"In the future, we will advance and retreat together with our masters. Our masters will charge into the fray, and we will be at the end of our days." Yang Yan and the others said in unison, their eyes filled with loyalty.2

Xiao Chen could not help but smile.

Elder Brother Yang, we are brothers. Although I obtained the inheritance of the Ancient Kingdom's Lord, you can't call me master. In the future, just call me by my name and call me Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen said sincerely.

This made Yang Yan and the others admire Xiao Chen. At this moment, they truly believed in Xiao Chen. At this moment, he was exactly the same as their previous lord. He loved his subordinates and was like a brother.

"Alright." Yang Yan smiled, and replied.
