Chapter 531: The World Trembles, Ascending to the Pinnacle! (Part 3)
If anyone dares to defy, they will be severely injured on the spot.
Such brawls have occurred more than once in the North.
The South fared better, but in the North, Chen Yuan's prestige nearly rivaled Wei Jinfeng.
His status and origin were even more admirable.
He hailed from the southern Qingzhou and was ordered to Liangzhou to take over as the Heavenly Patrol Golden Envoy. Before the great battle, the Emperor even intended to summon him back to the Capital, but he righteously defied the imperial order.
He chose to share fate with Liangzhou.
This kind of exemplar was truly above reproach.
And as the great battle ended, a Communication Talisman from the Capital arrived; Jingtai personally apologized to Wei Jinfeng, admitting to loose governance.
Shen Wu True Monarch had failed to support Liangzhou promptly, instead going to Youzhou, and was severely penalized.
The court personally allocated fifty million silver, thousands of Primordial Crystals for consolation.
Wei Jinfeng accepted all these but did not send any reply to the court.
He even had people disclose the court's deeds this time, exacerbating the dissatisfaction of northern Martial Artists and commoners, feeling the court was unfair, especially in such times.
This caused the court's prestige to plummet in the North.
Even if Wei Jinfeng were to rebel at this moment, he would gain many followers; he just hadn't let hatred cloud his judgment.
He knows that with Liangzhou's current strength, it's insufficient to confront the court.
Jingtai's plan achieved much, significantly weakening Wei Jinfeng's power, making it hard for him to recover even in ten years, considered both advantageous and disadvantageous.
Gu Tianqiong even sent a message to Wei Jinfeng offering to station troops in Liangzhou on his behalf, but was directly dismissed.
Chen Yuan's critical state concerned not only the Liangzhou populace but also a multitude of people who cared, Zhang Family father and son, even Zhang's second sister, and his former subordinates in the Capital.
All sent people to inquire about Chen Yuan's condition.
Several Daoists from the Taoist Divine Palace swiftly contacted Moluo upon hearing. Most notably, Su Ziyue and Jiang He, Moluo assured them Chen Yuan would be fine.
With him around, he definitely wouldn't die, urging them not to expose themselves recklessly.
This finally gave them a sigh of relief.
Goddess Palace's Shen Yanshu, upon hearing, secretly left the Mountain Gate, but was stopped by Yu Qingyan; their confrontation nearly led to enmity, finally quelled by Daoist Su Qing's intervention.
Su Qing told her Goddess Palace had received news that Chen Yuan was gradually recovering, and her presence in Liangzhou would only cause complications.
Shen Yanshu pondered for a long time before reluctantly agreeing.
Shuzhou's Shangguan Clan's Shangguan Hong also wrote a letter, intending to cross hundreds of miles to Liangzhou City but was blocked by Shangguan Yu.
He explained differently.
He said he too was worried about Brother Chen's injury, but Shangguan Family members had already been dispatched to Liangzhou; Shangguan Hong's departure would infuriate Father.
He promised to update her with the news first.
This made Shangguan Hong reconsider.
Most anxious, however, were the people of Tangshan Prefecture. Lady Xu couldn't sleep the whole night, arranging various matters afterward.
Directly discussed with Han Yu, Du Ming, and others about visiting Liangzhou.
Also to gauge their intentions.
Any ulterior motives?
The result was a relief; Chen Yuan's judgment was correct, neither Du Ming, Han Yu nor Liu Zhengsong had any ulterior motives.
Still earnest, wanting to follow to Liangzhou as well.
They had just begun to act when Jiang He arrived.
Informed them that Chen Yuan's wounds were healing, Tangshan Prefecture mustn't be chaotic, or the court will detect it, words that Lady Xu and others trusted.
Given the numerous incidents showing an unusual relationship between Chen Yuan and Jiang He before.
Only able to suppress their worries to safeguard Tangshan Prefecture for Chen Yuan.
Jiang He came over under Su Ziyue's instructions, saying Tangshan Prefecture was Chen Yuan's foundation, mustn't let the court detect it, or his previous efforts would be in vain.
Thus specifically traveling from Qingzhou City.
In the Capital, Noble Consort Yang was in poor spirits, unable to sleep at night, she found it strange herself, despite past enmities with Chen Yuan.
But now worried for his safety, hard to explain.
Beiliang Royal Mansion.
Wei Jinfeng visited the Secret Realm to see Chen Yuan daily, today was no exception.
To treat Chen Yuan's injuries, Wei Jinfeng used numerous Spiritual Objects, barely adding a trace of vitality to Chen Yuan, still unable to awaken him.
"How is it?"
"Father, Brother Chen is still the same, heart meridian intact, but hasn't opened his eyes." Wei Wuque exhaled deeply.
Looking at the tightly shut eyes of Chen Yuan, Wei Jinfeng's gaze was somber, having personally examined him, knowing his physical vitality wasn't weak now, but the Heavenly Core was somewhat unstable.
In a very bizarre state.
"Prince, Wudang Mountain has sent a message, offering to have Chen Yuan sent to Wudang Mountain, they have a way." An elder stepped forward, bowing.
Wei Jinfeng pondered for a long time before nodding.
Wudang Mountain is the Immortal Sect of the age, perhaps knowing Chen Yuan's current situation.
Then, he prepared to escort Chen Yuan to Wudang Mountain personally to prevent accidents, and as the news spread.
When Chen Yuan lay in the Royal Chariot ready to leave Liangzhou City.
Over a hundred thousand people had gathered along the street, stretching for miles.
Among them were Liangzhou citizens, injured Beiliang Army soldiers, Heavenly Patrol Guards, and numerous Jianghu Martial Artists, silently bidding farewell to Chen Yuan.
Wei Jinfeng glanced at Chen Yuan inside the Royal Chariot, a slight change of expression.
All he could do was this, the rest depended on whether Chen Yuan could awaken, and in the future, Liangzhou would be his great support.
"Go!"
The Royal Chariot streaked through the void.
Citizens of Liangzhou City remained for a long time without dispersing.
