Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 334 - 332: So It Was You

The third Qian King's Seal?

The Qian King's Seals number ten in all, representing the seven provinces and three territories of Daqian!

When there are only two, they suffer immense suppression before the Imperial Scroll of the Son of Heaven!

But if there are three, then certain shackles can be shattered!

Rivaling the Imperial Scroll itself! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Especially since this Imperial Scroll is but a holy roll, not the real Son of Heaven descended in person.

Even so, when driven by Song Tianchou's terrifying strength, the Imperial Scroll will be hard-pressed to resist!

Before Zheng Xuan could react, the only surviving Barbarian powerhouse's expression changed drastically. He roared in rage and terror: "Barbarian Divine Blood? How do you possess my clan's Divine Blood?"

A mocking smile curled at Song Tianchou's lips—

As if the Barbarian was not worth his reply, Song Tianchou gave not a single word in response!

Song Yuanhao sneered sideways, disdainful: "Your Barbarian Race is no more than a pawn. After this day, you'll either submit or be annihilated. Was it so difficult to obtain your so-called Divine Blood?"

At these words, the Barbarian was struck as if by thunder.

He had no idea how this could have happened, nor how Song Tianchou and son had acquired his clan's Divine Blood, but he knew at this moment—this was no lie!

Extermination?

Subjugation?

At the thought, the Barbarian powerhouse swallowed hard, his face ashen as death!

He had never dreamed it would come to this!

The Barbarians had sought to use Song Yuanhao—who could have known an existence so terrifying stood behind him!

Escape!

He turned and fled!

Not one among them budged; none moved to pursue.

Song Yuanhao laughed coldly, "Run? Where could you possibly go?"

The entire Barbarian Race was already caught in their web.

No one could prevent it!

Below, Tuoba Hongyu, Tuoba Dajiang, and the others stared, their eyes nearly bursting from rage!

"Qingzhou's Qian King's Seal!"

As that shout rang out—

The whole of Qingzhou was, for an instant, violently shaken.

The next moment, a figure appeared from thin air, holding aloft a Qian King's Seal, and walked to stand before Song Tianchou.

Everyone was struck dumb with disbelief.

"The Qingzhou Governor!"

"He—he was Song Tianchou's man all along?"

"How can this be?"

An uproar swept over the mountains and plains.

Xu Yang's face turned pale as sheet.

Qingzhou had already fallen!

He secretly rejoiced that he had prepared the Zhang Family and others to flee in advance.

"This one's played his hand to the extreme..."

Gu Jun marveled, as shaken as Xu Yang and the rest.

Even having seen countless upheavals a millennium past, he found today's spectacle beyond belief!

This, by the heavens—was nothing less than overturning a dynasty!

Zheng Xuan, curse your damned grandmother—if you don't keep your promise, old man, even in death I'll claw you out of your grave!

Gu Jun thought viciously.

"So, it was you!" Zheng Xuan's gaze was chilling as it bored into the Qingzhou Governor, rattling the latter's resolve.

Yet thoughts of Song Tianchou steeled him, and he drew a deep breath, smiling faintly: "King Beixuan, each serves his own lord, nothing more!"

"Can the present Son of Heaven truly emerge today?"

Zheng Xuan said nothing, his silence heavy.

Swoosh!

Song Tianchou hooked his hand, and the three Qian King's Seals converged at their apex!

In that instant—

Heaven and earth froze, calm as the still depths of an ancient well!

Even the mystical light swirling around the celestial void seemed to be caught in stasis!

Beneath, countless souls were gripped by a terror that was all-consuming!

As if a world-ending calamity was about to erupt.

Martial Artists retreated en masse, afraid to be dragged into annihilation!

Xu Yang was no exception.

"Mr. Meng, to the Zhang Family!"

Xu Yang whipped around, shouting to Meng Ziqiu.

Startled, Meng Ziqiu instantly understood, nodded fiercely, and sped off toward Qingzhou.

"Zheng Xuan, what now?"

Song Tianchou's smile was playful, tinged with mockery.

Zheng Xuan's expression was bitter.

Gazing at the three Qian King's Seals, he suddenly erupted in laughter.

"It's over!"

Boom!

Crack!

The Imperial Scroll of the Son of Heaven was shattered in an instant—ancient characters swirling around it, rising as a golden causeway into the heavens.

"Think to flee?"

Song Tianchou's face shifted; he had never expected Zheng Xuan to be so resolute, destroying the Imperial Scroll to make his escape!

Swoosh!

The three Qian King's Seals shot out like lightning at the golden passage.

Boom!

The Qian King's Seals severed the passage at its waist.

The corridor splintered into fragments; within came Zheng Xuan's agonized scream—yet in an instant, he was gone, leaving only drifting motes of light in his wake!

Xu Yang watched, throat working as he struggled to swallow, then turned and bolted without a word.

"Go!"

"Quick, get out of here!"

Liou Yunfeng and the others, realizing doom was imminent, fled in wild desperation.

"Boy, gather them together!"

Gu Jun too was uneasy; gritting his teeth, he ignored the price—sleep after another Greater Transposition be damned.

Whoosh!

This whole group vanished from the borders of Qingzhou!

Above the Northern Territory—

Song Tianchou gazed placidly at the three Qian King's Seals before him.

"Father, could there still be a hidden hand?" Song Yuanhao frowned deeply.

Song Tianchou's eyes trembled with an unfathomable look. "Even if there is, what of it? For today, how many preparations have we made?"

"Today, I've used but a third of my hidden aces!"

"Even if Can Sutian, the Son of Heaven, yet lives, he cannot reverse this fate!"

Can Sutian—he is the true Emperor of Daqian!

"The Barbarian King approaches."

Song Tianchou suddenly turned north.

...

Qingzhou, the Zhang Family estate.

Xu Yang and his people materialized from thin air.

Just as Meng Ziqiu arrived!

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Liou, how are you here so quickly?" Meng Ziqiu was flabbergasted.

"King Beixuan has run." Liou Yunfeng's words drained all color from Meng Ziqiu's face.

At that instant, Zhang Lingqiao and many others rushed out as well.

Such an uproar—how could they not sense it?

Xu Yang wasted no words, speaking grimly: "Mr. Zhang, quickly—gather the entire clan and leave Qingzhou at once!"

"Qingzhou is on the verge of falling!"

At those words, Zhang Lingqiao's face shifted, but without hesitation, he nodded hard and dashed into the family compound.

"Master."

"Master?"

Xu Yang called inwardly, but Gu Jun gave no reply, making Xu Yang's expression sink.

Gu Jun has fallen into deep sleep!

Damned it all!

Xu Yang's fists trembled, his face more unsightly than ever.

This turn of events—who could have foreseen it?

It was, simply, unparalleled and shocking!

After today, Daqian will truly be shaken to its core.

Suddenly—

Xu Yang shuddered head to toe, raising his eyes in terror.

The sky was calm, but he sensed an inescapable, formless force pinning him—a dread like standing before a True Sovereign.

"Who is it?"

Xu Yang's mind raced, struggling fiercely—

But he could not budge an inch!

Even fighting desperately, he could not break free!

And his master had fallen back into sleep... Damned it all!

"Mr. Xu, what's wrong?"

"Xu Yang?"

Liou Yunfeng and the rest stared in astonishment, watching Xu Yang's form flicker, growing translucent, about to dissipate.

This sudden change left them utterly bewildered.

But all sensed disaster, and instantly thought of Song Yuanhao and his father—tense as if before a mortal enemy!

Glancing down, Xu Yang gritted his teeth and barked, "Mr. Liou, Mr. Meng, gather the Zhangs and leave Qingzhou at once! Head for the forbidden lands of Central Province and await me!"

"I'll be fine!"

With those words, his body vanished into the void.

Swoosh!

He felt solid ground underfoot—eyes snapping open, he scanned his surroundings, bracing for war.

With a single glance, Xu Yang's soul quaked and his vision grew dazed!

"It is you?"

"What right do you have to appear here?"
