Imperial God Emperor

Chapter 489 - Regaining consciousness

Translator: Aran

In the early years, because of the strength of the empire, some ordinary sects basically could not set off any large waves, but the Three Sects and Three Schools still had some considerable power among the martial arts circle of the Human Race. historical

Back then in Youyan Pass, the disciples of the Crepe Myrtle Sect, Violet sSeven Stars Sect as well as the Tiger Dragon School of the Three Sects and Three Schools, were incredibly arrogant because of their background.

But this time in the war of the Light City, the strength of the Three Sects and Three Schools——and even the power of the various sects within the territory of the empire, were calculated. Not only did they massacre one another, it could even be said that their hundred years of foundation was uprooted.

Finally, besides the few sect experts loyal to Left Minister and old Marshal Li Guangbi, that had resisted the so-called temptation of the treasury of the [Light Palace], and did not enter the Earth Fire spirit spring sword pit, in order to bypass the killing formation, all the other sects suffered a disastrous loss. Some sects were completely destroyed, from the elders to the final generation of disciples. Not one person survived.

The sects that had suffered a calamity a hundred years ago because of the rise of the Snow Empire were once again, through this plan, critically wounded and weakened.

As a result, sects would never have the power to contend with the Snow Empire.

In the past one month, the Snow Emperor was still living in seclusion. Old Commander Li Guangbi, under the advice of Yu Junhan, led an army of elite troops to plough through and tidy up the major sects once more.

For sects that did not obey, their main gate was breached and completely eradicated.

In this regard, Li Guangbi did not have the slightest mercy.

Because he knew the intention of Yu Junhan.

The central Domain Gate would open soon. Whether this was a blessing or a curse, before the foreign forces really came pouring in, they had to first of all completely eliminate the instability within the Snow Empire. This was to prevent the sects that were unwilling to give up their past glory from colluding with forces of foreign domains. The disaster would be even greater at that time.

This process, for these sects, was also tragic.

The Violet Seven Stars Sect was completely destroyed, the armoury of the sect was emptied, the four supreme elders were killed, the leader of the sect was captured, the disciples that were above the Spirit spring realm were assigned to the army, and those below the Spirit spring realm were all dismissed...

The Violet Seven Stars Sect that had several hundred years of history was severed like that.

The Crepe Myrtle Sect’s case was slightly better.

Because they had timely surrendered, the Crepe Myrtle Sect was not annihilated, but the main experts of the sect were also enlisted into the army, and some elders and trusted aides who had authority before were replaced, while the head of the clan was detained.

Divine General Gong of the Five Great Divine Generals of the [Light Palace], Gao Diping personally oversaw everything. The military of the empire had the final say in the important matters of the Crepe Myrtle Sect, including the choice of the candidate for the new head of the sect.

In addition to these two large sects, the other few large sects also were not able to escape.

The dragon sub-sect of the Dragon Tiger Sect chose to surrender, while the Tiger sub-sect chose to flee. The major experts and masters of the Tiger sub-sect fled overnight, and only a few people remained behind, accepting the imperial military takeover...

But those people of the Tiger sub-sect that fled also did not really evade the military. Ten days later, the head of the Tiger Sect Zhao Jin was killed in the territory of the White Mountain Black Waters, and the Tiger sub-sect was declared completely destroyed.

Of the Three Sects and Three Schools, only Matchless Blade City was respected by the Imperial army. Li Guangbi personally visited the Divine Blade Palace of the Matchless Blade City and met with Qin Zhishui who had just become the City Lord. Soon after the Matchless Blade City declared to the outside world that they surrendered and pledged allegiance to the empire, and became a special military ministry of the empire.

Without stopping for a rest, Lu Guangbi rectified the Jianghu sects within the empire’s territory, completely rewriting the martial artist circle that had been in disorder for nearly a hundred years...

And some of the ancient sects and forces that hid behind the Three Sects and Three Schools were also affected.

At the same time, Right Minister, Yu Feiyan and Left Minister began a huge cleaning in the Imperial capital.

Within a hundred miles of the [Light Palace], all people were moved away, regardless of whether they were nobles or civilians, no delay was allowed.

There was a man from an aristocratic family that took advantage of the fact that he was acquainted with the Right Minister and friends with the little young master Du of the Du household. He was not only arrogant but wounded several empire officials who came to urge him to move. He also threatened that he was not moving, and there was nothing they could do...

After an hour, his head was hung directly on the announcement pillar within the relocation area.

The other large and small noble families immediately knew that this time the empire was serious. The Right Minister who was usually very protective of his subordinates also showed no trace of politeness.

After this, the nobles no longer dared to fight back.

This relocation, however, was not a barbarous operation, and the empire had compiled a list of names and amount of money as compensation. Both nobles and ordinary people would receive relatively good compensation, particularly ordinary people. After relocation, they would be given residence and better compensation and treatment than before.

Once this matter was spread, the people that lived outside of the relocation region, were jealous.

The empire machines were operated in a strict and orderly manner, its power and efficiency were undoubtedly shown.

The entire relocation process probably took less than 20 days.

The military even sent out airships, patrolling the skies and helping people to move.

At the same time, the vacated area had become a restricted area, and no one was allowed to enter.

A large number of imperial troops were stationed there.

Countless military projects were built as fast as possible, and rune formations containing terrifying and boundless energy were set up in the first moments. All sorts of resources were endlessly transported to the relocation area.

It was just a sight that some curious people only saw on the surface.

The scene that they were unaware of was that countless military elites and experts were transferred from the frontier and main battle corps, and were quietly stationed in the area within several hundreds miles of Light City.

As time went by.

The storm of chaos swirling vortex in the sky over the Imperial capital had gradually slowed down again, and the gloomy fog was gradually dissipating.

People could finally see the blue sky.

When the sun pierced through the faint clouds, illuminating below, and the warm rays of light once again shone onto everyone’s body, many people’s hearts that had been hanging in the air since the beginning of the battle of Light City finally returned to their chest.

Like a very long dream, it made many people sigh.

Everything seemed to have returned to its original appearance.

In addition to the several hundred miles within Light city, in the other areas of the Imperial capital, there was already a stream of people, horses and carriages on the streets. Stores that have been closed for more than one month could not wait to open up to do business again...

Only Right Minister Lin Zheng and the other people who knew the truth understood that the disaster probably had not passed by yet, and on the contrary, may have just begun.

Evacuating people in the area within a hundred of miles of the Light City, building various defensive structures, dispatching troops, setting down rune formations, and dispatching powerful elite experts of the empire were all in order to guard against potential invading forces after the opening of the central Domain Gate.

And the reason that there were only defensive arrangements within hundred of miles of the [Light Palace] and the entire Imperial capital was not evacuated was because the operation was too large. But also because within this hundred miles, the empire’s most powerful forces and military power had already gathered. If they were unable to withstand the forces of foreign domains, then the entire Heaven Wasteland Domain would be caught in a long, bitter disaster. Even if they Imperial capital was evacuated, it would be pointless.

The real core people of the officials of the empire, during this time, were working non-stop.

Many decrees were issued from the two minister residences.

Some people that do not know about the situation were surprised to find that, in this period of time, the decrees issued from the Left Minister and Right Minister residences were unexpectedly unanimous and coordinated. It was completely different from what they had seen over the past decades.

With the passage of time, more and more people gradually felt that, after the sun was visible again, the atmosphere over the empire seemed to have become extremely tense and unfamiliar.

……

Two months after the war over Light City.

Early morning.

It was the coldest time in winter.

The fire forest of the fourth region of Light City was replanted. Fire trees, which had almost withered, were nourished with the flames and yuan qi of the Earth Fire spirit spring sword pit and became full of vitality again.

But this forest was still sparse, and could not be compared to before, when the tree leaves were blazing like an ocean.

With the support of Jin Ling’er, Ye Qingyu slowly took a walk in the fire forest, stretching his body and breathing the fresh air.

Ye Qingyu had regained consciousness two days ago.

This news was kept a secret for the time being, and only Yu Junhan and a few other people knew.

Ever since Ye Qingyu had awakened, Yu Junhan smiled a lot more.

She examined the condition of Ye Qingyu’s body twice a day, and was gradually feeling much more reassured.

Ye Qingyu’s recovery was much better than expected, his memory was undamaged, his soul was complete, but his mind and power seemed to have weakened by several times. He was now around the same level as a one or two Spirit spring martial artist.

Also, the yuan qi within his body had not fully recovered, it was less than 1% of his former normal state.

It should be said that Ye Qingyu, who had just regained consciousness, was in a strange weak state, his fighting strength was no different to experts of the ordinary Spirit spring realm.

Adding to this, since this body was regenerated from the blood and yuan qi of Yu Junhan, Ye Qingyu was unable to completely control his body, and at the beginning he couldn’t even walk smoothly.

Besides taking care of Ye Qingyu, Yu Junhan also needed to help Right Minister and the others.

Although they have reunited, but there was not enough time in one day. After all, when the nest is overturned, no egg stays unbroken. The current situation was too urgent, only after she gets through this could she protect Ye Qingyu better.

And Ye Qingyu himself, after regaining consciousness, from Jin Ling’er, Bai Yuanxing, Wen Wan, and other people, found out about what had happened after he sustained serious injury and lost consciousness——
