My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Additionally, aside from Duke of the State, Cheng Shiyuan of Great Zhou, it seemed that several other Sky-Men had arrived at the scene.

He didn’t know whether his own imperial father had come.

No matter what, under the current circumstances, only Sky-Men, perhaps, could get involved; everyone else could only watch.

This might be a good opportunity to watch the drama unfold.

Wu Qiche shifted his gaze away from Cheng Guang and spoke to his subordinates:

"All of you, retreat!"

As Wu Qiche’s voice faded, the multitude of powerful figures from Great Yuan began to retreat one after another, extricating themselves from the assault of the Great Chu’s hundred generals.

Their faces were pale.

Clearly,

the pressure exerted by the Great Chu’s hundred generals was not small; in fact, it was quite substantial.

When Cheng Guang saw Wu Qiche ordering his subordinates to retreat, he wasn’t too surprised; even if they didn’t pull back, it wouldn’t make much of a difference.

At the same time, Cheng Guang had noticed Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan’s presence from the very first moment he appeared.

He shifted his gaze from Wu Qiche to Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan.

Looking at Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, Cheng Guang couldn’t help but feel a mixture of emotions.

He had imagined countless times what he would do if his identity were exposed. How should he face them?

He had not expected that day to arrive so soon.

He looked up calmly and exchanged a glance with Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan.

After a moment of hesitation, he ultimately did not pay respects to Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan as he had in the past, nor did he call out "Grandfather" as he once did.

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan looked at Cheng Guang, his icy demeanor unchanged as he scrutinized Cheng Guang, observing the aura around him, his tiger-like eyes trembling.

He seemed unwilling to believe it, as if wondering if he had seen incorrectly.

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan continued to look for quite a while; no matter how many times he observed, the aura of the Cheng Guang before him left no trace of familiarity.

"When did this happen?"

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan looked at Cheng Guang silently for a moment before slowly speaking with a hoarse, sorrowful tone.

Upon hearing Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan’s question, Cheng Guang realized, without needing further explanation, that Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan was asking when he had replaced the original Town-Nation Duke’s Heir.

Cheng Guang pondered for a moment, "About a month ago, I suppose."

"Not a long time ago."

Drawing a deep breath, Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, suspended high above, slowly closed his tiger eyes and then asked again,

"So what has become of my grandson now?"

Cheng Guang shook his head, "He’s naturally dead; if he were alive, I wouldn’t be."

Upon hearing this news, Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, who had always been upright and dignified, seemed to suddenly stoop; he visibly aged a bit.

His already weary face now looked as though it had lost its spirit. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

His body subtly trembled a few times as a terrifying and vast aura surged out from Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan.

Opening his eyes, he looked at Cheng Guang with a cold gaze, laughing mournfully with tears brimming in his eyes,

"Good, worthy of being the Crown Prince of Great Chu. Your resolve truly exceeds that of the common man."

"If it were me, I, too, would eradicate the roots and leave no survivors."

"Well done, well done indeed."

While saying this, Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan laughed out loud.

In this moment, Cheng Guang felt as though he was caught in the midst of a violent storm, knowing that if Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan so much as entertained a thought, he would be killed instantly.

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan’s tiger eyes teared up, yet he still laughed,

"In my life, I’ve been decisive in killing, walking on mountains of corpses and rivers of blood to get to where I am today."

"All that I have done over these years was not for fame or fortune, but only to seek peace for my family for one lifetime."

"To protect my son, to ensure my grandchildren could live in peace, without struggling among the masses."

"But in the end, in the end…"

"My grandson still died."

"Back then I stormed the Imperial Palace of Great Chu, and today you killed my grandson. Is this how we repay debts of gratitude?"

Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan’s voice grew softer and softer.

Even as Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan’s voice faded, everyone around could still hear his words clearly.

Many people also felt that, even though his tone seemed calm, the grief and rage in his heart could no longer be described in words.

Everyone felt that Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan at that moment was like a volcano on the verge of erupting.

Any slightest mishap, and it could burst forth.

The air fell silent for a time.

No one dared to disturb Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan’s brow, and there was no longer any sound or movement.

Even the Sky-Men didn’t rush to say or do anything at this time.

Continue your adventure with empire

They simply hid in the shadows, quietly watching the scene unfold.

Under the gaze of Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, the pressure Cheng Guang felt was exponentially greater compared to the others around him.

His breath caught slightly.

Merely at the instant Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan’s gaze fell upon him, it was as though a mountain range was pressing down on him.

The skin, flesh, sinews, and membranes on his body trembled, his right hand reaching out quickly as his Qi and Blood surged. Thanks to his long-term practice of both Martial Cultivation and Spirit Dao, both his physique and Primordial Spirit were strong.

Otherwise, under the scrutiny of Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, his spine would likely have been crushed instantly. He wouldn’t have been able to stand upright, much less look as calm as he was now, meeting Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan’s gaze head-on.
