Everything was beyond redemption.
An unprecedented catastrophe swept through the entire Danyang County.
The surging floodwaters engulfed everything, drowning all living beings in screaming agony and despair.
...
The news rapidly spread to the capital of the Great Han in a very short ti.
King Han, Liu Jing, looked at the morial in his hand, his face extrely ashen.
"Damn it!"
He struck down with his palm, smashing the desk in front of him to pieces, and the morial in his hand was directly reduced to dust.
"Issue an edict for the Crown Prince to return to the capital imdiately, without delay."
...
anwhile, the events unfolding in Danyang County rapidly spread in all directions.
Even Lu Chengfeng received a secret ssage.
Zhu Yuxian personally delivered the secret ssage, and after reading it, Lu Chengfeng’s face imdiately turned nacingly grim.
"What happened?" she asked curiously; it was rare to see him showing such an expression as his power had grown stronger.
Lu Chengfeng said in a grave tone, "On December 28, snow fell from the heavens, and the south experienced an unprecedented blizzard, causing the vast Dongting Lake to freeze with thick ice."
"On that very day, the Han Army, which had besieged Danyang for months, launched the fiercest attack, and Han Crown Prince Liu Wu killed King Chu Mi Ying with a single spear, bringing the last of the Great Chu Dynasty’s fortunes to an end."
"However, what happened next was unforeseen by all. Even with the snow descending and the lake’s surface frozen, Dongting Lake erupted with a millennium-rare tide, endlessly surging waves drowning the land."
"The waters of the Dan River also burst out of its banks, madly ravaging the entire Danyang County. The whole Danyang County’s populace, ten million people, seven cities, countless villages, and thirty thousand Han Army, were all subrged by the floodwaters."
He said solemnly, "This event has spread everywhere, shocking the world. The whole county has turned into a land of marshes, and corpses float on the water’s surface everywhere."
"This is a disaster unseen in a thousand years, shocking the Martial World, causing chaos in every direction. This is unprecedentedly tragic; even in the past, no matter how great the natural disaster or man-made calamity, it was impossible for an entire county to beco a dead land, with ten million living beings all perishing."
"When the hare dies, the fox grieves; similar creatures mourn their kind. There may be a chain reaction to follow."
Zhu Yuxian’s expression also changed, "A county with over ten million common people, what a disaster."
Lu Chengfeng nodded, "The secret ssage states that as soon as the news spread, countless heroes from the Martial World flocked to the south to relieve the disaster in Danyang."
"Nurous people living by the water, terrified, abandoned their hos and left the places where their ancestors had lived for generations, migrating to other areas."
Although Han Crown Prince Liu Wu destroyed the Chu Kingdom, he also fell into trendous political turmoil. The details of the War of Chu’s Destruction are not known to ordinary people, but they cannot be hidden from the masters of major powers. Now King Han has summoned him back to the capital."
The two were silent for a long ti, their eyes shifting, pondering the subsequent changes this event would trigger.
Liu Wu, disregarding King Chu Mi Ying’s threat, killed him with a single spear as the snow fell and Dongting Lake froze, triggering this unprecedented, imnse catastrophe.
It could be said that he is currently scorned by thousands and cursed by millions; countless people in the Martial World regard him as an executioner and a butcher, wishing to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
King Han issued a silent edict for Liu Wu to quietly return to Han State, disappearing without a trace.
The storm caused by this event not only affected the Northern Lands but also stirred up an uproar inside the Han Dynasty, among civil and military officials, local gentry, and the ordinary populace.
Originally, the Great Han Dynasty aid to unify the south and swallow the world, but now it had to halt its expansion.
Even though Liu Wu’s power is unmatched in the world, he has committed an imnse sin, bearing the burden of endless infamy, causing turmoil within and outside the Great Han Dynasty.
Even if the Great Han Dynasty has unified the south, it inevitably fell into enormous chaos.
Governing the world has never been accomplished by relying solely on powerful martial force. Liu Wu’s assassination of Mi Ying nearly severed the prospects of the Han Kingdom’s fate, stopped the dragon’s rising montum, and forced them to retract their claws and rest.
After discussing for a long ti, Zhu Yuxian and Lu Chengfeng clearly recognized the situation and current state of the world; it seed like a good opportunity to intervene in the south.
But now the Yuncang Sword Sect is blocked by that madwoman Xiang Qingchi, and they can only look on and sigh.
Zhu Yuxian left in haste after communicating briefly with Lu Chengfeng. She had just broken through to Celestial Human and, unlike Lu Chengfeng, her foundation was not yet stable, and she still needed to practice Divine Techniques, requiring a vast amount of ti.
Yet she did not notice the heavy gaze Lu Chengfeng had as he watched her departing figure.
The change in the south, while seen by many as natural disasters and man-made calamities, was discerned by Lu Chengfeng as a contest between Immortals.
For instance, why did the unprecedented snowfall suddenly fall just when Liu Wu needed it most, freezing the entire surface of Dongting Lake for him?
Even if King Chu Mi Ying was a Celestial Human Strong Person and skilled in Array, what right did he have to set up such an earth-shattering Grand Array, capable of causing Dongting Lake and the Dan River to breach, flooding a county?
And yet, the final snowfall and freezing lake surface still resulted in such a disastrous aftermath; what secrets lie behind this?
Lu Chengfeng seed to see two Immortals using Han Crown Prince Liu Wu and King Chu Mi Ying as proxies, each employing their thods, even manipulating celestial phenona and leveraging the terrain to engage in an extraordinarily mystical world-shaking battle.
