Chapter 1596

1596 What It’s Like to Draw Water With a Holey Bucket
The imperial capital of Great Qi was the center of the kingdom. It was also the center of the world in the hearts of the people of Great Qi. For those who had never left this place, it was the center of the world. The towering city walls were as boundless as a mountain range.

At this moment, the bustling capital of Great Qi was even busier. From afar, one could see teams of carriages carrying all kinds of natural treasures and spirit stones constantly being delivered to the capital. To be precise, they were being brought to a huge basin beside the Imperial Capital.

Countless defensive barriers were flashing with a faint light around the basin, and in the middle of this defensive barrier was an incomparably huge array. It was like an incomparably huge vortex that was stirring rapidly.

...

In the distance, countless carriages of all kinds of natural treasures were transported here. Then, martial arts experts threw these natural treasures into the array. After a while, they turned into orange-yellow energy and occupied the array. Countless spirit stones were also thrown into the surroundings of the array, continuously providing energy to the array.

Around this formation, countless soldiers of Great Qi’s Imperial Army were standing guard, protecting this array. Countless martial arts experts looked at this array from afar, their faces full of pain and indignation. This array was like a bottomless pit that swallowed the entire national strength of Great Qi. Due to this incident, Great Qi had suffered a heavy blow.

For a cultivator kingdom such as theirs, money was nothing. The real strategic resources were spirit stones and heavenly treasures. These were the items that provided Great Qi with an endless stream of powerful martial artists and maintained the operation of the entire kingdom.

However, the strength of Great Qi had been drained all of a sudden, and it would take fifty years for it to recover.

However, they did not dare to step forward to stop this. They all thought of the demon-like figure, the terrifying existence who had single-handedly beaten Great Qi into submission. No one dared to disobey such an existence, because those who dared to disobey were already dead. Their families were exterminated, and their sects and forces were all executed. Therefore, even if they were dissatisfied, they did not dare to show it.

At this moment, they thought of another brother in distress, the Great Wei.

Previously, they had thought of ways to prevent the invasion of Great Wei. However, with the invasion of Grand Xia, Great Wei and Great Qi instantly went from being on guard against each other to being brothers in distress.

Great Qi fell into the hands of the experts of Grand Xia. However, Great Wei was not in a better state. Their capital was also breached and their army was defeated. But when they thought of Great Wei, a hint of envy flashed through these experts’ eyes.

This was because Great Wei had a rare kingdom guardian, Chu Yunfan.

From the news they had just received, Great Wei’s imperial advisor had suddenly appeared and killed Xiang Feiyun and the others who had caused trouble in one fell swoop, ending the chaos in Great Wei. Although the order in the various parts of Great Wei had not been restored, it was still better than the chaotic and disorderly situation in Great Qi.

These experts of Grand Xia had no intention of ruling the Violet Thunder Sword Domain. They didn’t care about the hearts of the people in it. They only wanted to plunder and would plunder all the resources they could. Sustainable development was not within their consideration in the slightest.

And Great Qi didn’t have a hero who could stop this catastrophe. They could only watch from afar and did not dare to go forward.

Suddenly, just as they were filled with grief and indignation, they saw three figures break through the sky in the distance. They seemed to be stepping on lightning and had arrived at the edge of the Origin Energy Fusion Array.

“What is that?” someone exclaimed.

Everyone focused their eyes and saw that the light had dissipated. At the edge of the array, three figures stood tall in the sky. The leader was a young man in black clothes with a delicate face. He looked around 20 years old, but his body carried an unfathomable aura. Beside him was a young girl who looked like she was in her teens. Her face was exquisite, like a fairy from heaven. And lastly, a young man around the age of 20 followed closely behind.

“That looks like Chu Yunfan!”

Someone broke the silence with a cry of surprise. Immediately, everyone was in an uproar.

“Yes, it’s him! I’ve seen drawings of him before!”

“Why is he here? Is his goal the array?” someone asked in confusion. Then, he was suddenly frightened by this terrifying thought and sucked in a cold breath.

Chu Yunfan was probably here for this Origin Energy Fusion Array. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have appeared here.

“How did he just happen to appear here? I received news from my insiders that Liang Ruicai and the others have gathered a group of experts from Grand Xia to hunt him down.”
“Could it have been a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain?”

Many people suddenly thought of this point. Liang Ruicai had been guarding the edge of the Origin Energy Fusion Array. Even if there were some people in Great Qi who resisted and rose up in revolt, there would be other experts from Grand Xia to deal with them. Although these experts were far inferior to Liang Ruicai, they were many times stronger than the people in Great Qi.

Now, Liang Rui had left the capital of Great Qi because he wanted to kill Chu Yunfan. Now, Chu Yunfan had appeared at the edge of the Origin Energy Fusion Array, so it was hard not to think that way.

“If that’s what’s happening, that’s great news. Although I didn’t like Chu Yunfan in the past, I support him now.”

“That’s right. It’ll also allow Liang Ruicai to experience what it means to draw water with a holey bucket.”

The experts of the various major forces changed their attitudes and supported Chu Yunfan.

The three people in the sky were Chu Yunfan, Ye Qiushui, and Chu Hongcai.

Chu Yunfan had called Chu Hongcai over because he wanted to destroy the Origin Energy Fusion Array, and Chu Hongcai was the only person he was close to in the Violet Thunder Sword Domain. In the chaotic world of the future, Chu Hongcai would not be able to stand firmly without strength, so Chu Yunfan wanted to help improve his strength.

“How dare you! Who dares to covet the array?! How dare you!””

Suddenly, a huge ferocious beast charged out of the array. A terrifying pressure swept over from all directions.
