The Eternal Holy King
Chapter 53: Su Hong is Crowned King

"Yan State Army?"

Su Hong frowned, feeling confused. “Yan Country without leader. The first thing now is to choose a new king, and keep the morale of the army and officials. Why are they leading an army to deal with us? "

"That doesn't make sense."

Uncle Zheng shook his head as well. “There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers. It was the entire Yan State army. Are they going to go this far just to deal with the Su family? I guess not."

"Cultivators?"

There was a chill in Su Zimo's eyes and he thought to himself. "That must be the Joyful Clan!"

Ten days ago, the Joyful Clan sent hundreds of cultivators to hunt Su Zimo. In the end, they were all killed in the Cang Lang Mountain Range. The Joyful Clan couldn't possibly allow this.

Furthermore, the Su family and Su Zimo had no interaction with the cultivation world, their only enemy was the Joyful Clan.

“Brother, take the Su family to retreat to Cang Lang City first. I will follow after,” Su Zimo said in a heavy voice.

Su Zimo had just finished her sentence and she seemed to sense something, looking into the distance.

At the end of the sky, there was a group of over a thousand people rushing at an alarming speed. They were all cultivators and they used the Sword Kinesis Flight in the air!

Su Zimo narrowed her eyes, she could see it very clearly.

The cultivators moved at a rapid speed, they were already at the Foundation Establishment realm!

This was a group composed entirely of Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Could it be that the Joyful Clan is so powerful?

"It's too late." Song Qi looked grim as he shook his head.

Su Hong clenched his hands, saying in a cold voice, “I will gather the black armored cavalry. We can't sit here waiting for our deaths."

"Wait a minute."

Su Zimo stopped Su Hong, shaking his head. "Don't act rashly, we'll act according to the circumstances."

Regardless of whether it was Su Hong or Song Qi, they had not fought with the Foundation Establishment Cultivators before. But Su Zimo knew the capabilities of the Foundation Forming Foundation very well.

If the group of over a thousand Foundation Establishment Cultivators attacked them, the 50,000 strong black armored cavalry would be wiped out, regardless of the 5,000 strong black armored cavalry!

They are not in the Cang Lang Mountain Range. Su Zimo was not the opponent of one Foundation Establishment Initiator, let alone a thousand Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

They could do nothing but wait.

The thousand Foundation Establishment Cultivators reached the skies of Ping Yang City in no time. They were dressed in uniform, and they exuded a violent and deadly aura. They did not look like cultivators, rather they looked more like national soldiers.

Far ahead of the thousand Founding Initiators were graceful and majestic carriages that floated in the air. It was adorned with brilliant, dazzling and sparkling jewelry and pearls in the air. Although no one carried the carriage, it floated in the air steadily.

There was a gleaming bead curtain on the front of the carriage. There seems to be someone sitting on the train. One cannot tell the person's facial features because of the beaded curtains.

"This is…"

Everyone in the Su family was shocked.

Song Qi, who was a Qi Refinement Warrior, had never seen such a large army, he was startled.

"Something's wrong."

Uncle Zheng said softly, "The mark on the cultivator costume seems to be from the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Every Foundation Establishment Cultivator that was in the air had a beautiful five-clawed golden dragon imprinted on his sleeves. It was very realistic and magnificent.

Just then, the founder leader of the Foundation Establishment walked out from the crowd. He wore a golden Taoist robe and stood floating in the air. He swept his sharp gaze over everyone in the Su family, pausing slightly when he saw Su Zimo.

He then took the golden silk from his storage bag and spread it out.

Su Hong and Uncle Zheng were very surprised to see the golden silk, exclaiming in shock. "Emperor's government!"

The Great Zhou Dynasty was the only one who had the right to take out the golden silk and it was from the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Who was the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

He was the supreme leader of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He had accomplished many good deeds, surpassing the ancients and dazzling contemporaries, holding absolute power in his hands!

Since the imperial edict was issued, every country in the Great Zhou Dynasty had to submit unconditionally, otherwise it would be seen as an act of defiance and they would be punished by the Great Zhou Dynasty!

“King Qian of Yan is dishonest and traps loyal subjects, causing chaos in his country and government. It's true that he was transferred. It was said that Su Hong was the son of Su Mu, and he was much loved by people and had courage and intelligence, loving people like his. He is qualified to be the next king. I hereby issue this imperial edict crowning him as king. Everyone should spread the word and not obstruct the spread of this decree."

The golden armored leader who was in the air rolled up the imperial edict. He looked at Su Hong and said in a deep voice, "Su Hong, accept the imperial decree."

"It's…"

Su Hong froze on the spot, looking shocked. There was mistrust in his eyes.

The Great Zhou dynasty hardly intervened in the affairs of various countries. It was rare that it would issue an imperial decree, let alone crown someone as the king of a vassal state.

It was not that Su Hong did not want to become king.

The reason why he rejected Wei Mingcheng's proposal was because he was worried that if he was crowned king, a war would definitely break out and it would involve the innocent people in Yan Country.

But right now, with the imperial decree, Su Hong could be crowned king, yet there would be no war in Yan Country.

If anyone objected and launched a war, he would not oppose Su Hong, but an imperial decree!

No one would be that stupid to do such things. It was similar to seeking death.

More importantly, everyone in the Su family would no longer need to leave their homeland to go to another state, and the black armored cavalry would eventually have a place to stay for good.

"Young Master, hurry up, accept the decree!" Uncle Zheng was excited, he could not hide his happiness and he urged him gently.

"But…"

Su Hong was in a difficult position. He had never seen the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty before, and an imperial decree suddenly appeared. He could not help but feel worried and agitated.

Su Hong looked towards Su Zimo automatically.

Su Zimo frowned, shaking his head.

He had never seen anyone from the Great Zhou Dynasty either. The only possibility was that it was Die Yue's deed.

Before Die Yue left, she told Su Zimo that she had left three gifts for him. One of them was a spirit root, but he did not tell her the two remaining gifts. Could one of those gifts be her elder brother's crown?

But it doesn't make sense.

Su Zimo felt puzzled, she whispered to her elder brother. "Brother, you must accept the decree first."

Su Hong nodded and took a deep breath, bowing, before he kneeled in one voice, saying in a low voice, "Su Hong accepted the imperial decree."

The golden-armored leader waved his hand and the imperial edict landed gently in Su Hong's hands. It gleamed with a golden light, emitting a majestic aura, as if the emperor was here.

At that time, smoke and dust billowed because the wind was not too far away. There was a rumbling sound from the nails. The Yan State Army had just arrived, they were led by the famous generals of the Yan Country, among them was Wei Mingcheng, the general of Jian An City.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers came closer. There were so many of them, one could not see the end of the line.

The generals on the frontlines descended and knelt on one knee as they looked at Su Hong, shouting loudly, "We salute to the King!"

"We honor the King!"

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers shouted and the loud voice echoed.

The Su Family finally realized that hundreds of thousands of soldiers were not here to take revenge, instead they were here to pay their respects to the new king of the Yan Country, and to welcome him back to stand guard in the capital.

Although this was good news, the Su family seemed to be confused. They feel that everything is not real and they seem like they are dreaming.

Su Zimo raised his head, looking towards the carriage floating in the air. He looked at her as if trying to see her.

Swooshes!

A white porcelain arm stretched out from the carriage to lift the curtain of beads. A beautiful woman got out of the car. She was wearing a yellow long dress, with ribbons tied around her waist, fully accentuating her beautiful figure.

The woman had fair skin like snow. He looked refreshing and charming. As he exited the carriage, the graceful and majestic carriage looked pale in comparison to him.

"Zimo, didn't I say that we will definitely meet again?" The woman waved her hand at Su Zimo, smiling.
