Chapter 150: Attacking and Destroying the Yuan Capital
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately guaranteed, saying: “Left Envoy Yang, Zhang Zhenren, since you both think so highly of Zhu,Zhu was willing to pour all his strength into overthrowing the Yuan Court and rebuilding our Han Chinese Empire!”
When he said this, his face was filled with resolute determination.
After hearing this, Yang Xiao did not state his position, but Zhang Sanfeng nodded in satisfaction and said: “Zhu Yuanzhang, since you have such aspirations, this old Daoist can be at ease.
However, overthrowing the Yuan Court does not require your involvement. The primary purpose of our trip this time is to select the supreme ruler of the realm and govern the Han Chinese Empire.
When the time comes, this old Daoist and several friends will personally take action to eliminate the Yuan emperor, the many generals, and the great army. You only need to lead the Ming Cult army to take over the realm.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.
Although he admired Zhang Sanfeng’s strength, he truly found it difficult to believe that Zhang Sanfeng possessed the ability to annihilate the Yuan emperor and the great army.
Yang Xiao, on the other hand, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a face full of envy.
He had just personally experienced Zhang Sanfeng’s terrifying strength at “five-three-zero,” so he believed these words to some extent.
Zhang Sanfeng then said to Yang Xiao and Zhu Yuanzhang: “Since that is the case, you should immediately go and gather the Ming Cult army, assembling them at Bright Peak.
After that, my friend will use a special ability to directly move you to the Yuan Dynasty capital.
Once we have killed the Yuan emperor, the many armies, and the generals, you may directly take over the realm.”
Yang Xiao said in disbelief: “Zhang Zhenren, can this truly be done?”
In his view, this was simply an immortal’s method. Although he acknowledged Zhang Sanfeng’s strength, he still found it hard to believe that he could directly move the Ming Cult army to the Yuan capital.
Seeing this, Zhang Sanfeng said to Lu Xueqi beside him: “Miss Lu, I’ll trouble you.”
Lu Xueqi nodded slightly.
Immediately after, with a light stroke of her right hand, a massive spatial rift suddenly appeared before everyone.
Zhang Sanfeng explained: “This is a spatial rift opened by this friend of mine, capable of moving through the void.You only need to gather the Ming Cult army here, and we can use this spatial rift to move the army out, arriving instantly at the Yuan Court’s capital.”
Yang Xiao and Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the suddenly appearing spatial rift, utterly shocked.
This was completely an immortal’s method!
Their hearts surged with excitement, and they believed Zhang Sanfeng’s words for the most part.
Yang Xiao said excitedly: “Good! Zhang Zhenren, I’ll go gather the Ming Cult army right now!”
He then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang. “Zhu Yuanzhang, come with me. You will be the supreme ruler of the realm in the future,
and the Ming Cult army will also revere you from now on. It’s a good chance to meet the brothers.”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded excitedly and said respectfully: “Many thanks, Left Envoy Yang!”
Yang Xiao waved his hand. “From now on, you will be the emperor of the Han Chinese Empire. You might as well become the Cult Master of our Ming Cult.”
Yang Xiao knew in his heart that with Zhang Sanfeng’s assistance, the chances of Zhu Yuanzhang becoming the supreme ruler of the realm were greatly increased.
As the Bright Left Envoy, he might very well have to rely on Zhu Yuanzhang in the future, so he proactively pushed Zhu Yuanzhang toward the position of Ming Cult Master.
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt even more delighted, yet he feigned alarm and said: “Left Envoy Yang, wouldn’t that be inappropriate? What virtue or ability does Yuanzhang possess to become the Ming Cult Master?”
Yang Xiao shook his head and said: “Zhu Yuanzhang, you are worthy of it. You have just seen Zhang Zhenren and his friend’s immortal methods. With such methods, how could the Yuan Court possibly resist?
In the future, you are destined to become the supreme ruler of the realm, the emperor of our Han people.
Only, when that time comes and you have become emperor, do not forget our Ming Cult, and do not forget the favor bestowed by the Ming Cult’s upper echelons.”
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said in panic: “Left Envoy Yang, what are you saying? Yuanzhang comes from the Ming Cult—how could I forget the Ming Cult’s kindness?”
Yang Xiao nodded secretly after hearing this and finally felt at ease.
He thought to himself that although he could not become emperor, since Zhu Yuanzhang came from the Ming Cult, the Ming Cult’s future development would surely not be poor.
However, Yang Xiao did not know that in the original course of the world, after Zhu Yuanzhang seized the realm, he was not friendly toward the Ming Cult.
If he had known this, he would probably have regretted today’s decision.
But now, with the Ming Cult and Wudang choosing to support Zhu Yuanzhang at the early stage of his rise, the future outcome might be rewritten.
Soon, Yang Xiao gathered the Ming Cult’s Five Element Banners army,
and informed the Five Element Banners, the Sack Monk, Wei Yixiao, and others that Zhu Yuanzhang had been designated as the future Ming Cult Master.
Zhu Yuanzhang also exercised the Cult Master’s authority within the Ming Cult for the first time.
Although many experts were unconvinced by him, under the pressure of Yang Xiao and Zhang Sanfeng, they could only choose to submit.
Once the army was fully prepared, Zhang Sanfeng nodded to Lu Xueqi.
Everyone rose and headed toward the square outside the Ming Cult’s main altar.
At this moment, tens of thousands of Five Element Banner elites were gathered in the square.
Lu Xueqi swept her gaze over them and nodded in satisfaction—although these elites were inferior to Wang Baobao’s troops, they still counted as a formidable force.
Afterward, Lu Xueqi did not hesitate any further. She nodded to Yang Xiao and the others, raised her right hand, and a massive spatial rift abruptly appeared……
She and Zhang Sanfeng stepped in first, with Yang Xiao, Zhu Yuanzhang, and the others following closely behind, while the vast Ming Cult army entered in succession.
Although the soldiers were astonished by the spatial rift, having been informed in advance by Yang Xiao and Zhu Yuanzhang, the ranks did not fall into chaos, with only sporadic murmurs.
Once everyone had entered, the Ming Cult’s main altar returned to tranquility.
Not long after, a massive void rift appeared in the sky above the Yuan capital, and Lu Xueqi, Zhang Sanfeng, Zhu Yuanzhang, and the others walked out from it.
Lu Xueqi flashed into motion, bringing everyone to a high mountain near the Yuan capital. She then led the Ming Cult army out and ordered them to conceal themselves there.
According to the plan, after they defeated the Yuan army’s elites and captured or killed the emperor, the Ming Cult army would then take over the Yuan capital.
Zhu Yuanzhang and the others had no objections to this.
Immediately after, Zhang Sanfeng, Lu Yu, and the others flashed into motion and headed toward the Yuan capital.
In a short while, chaos erupted throughout the Yuan capital.
At the same time, Lu Xueqi appeared above the great army outside the Yuan capital.
She gazed down at the densely packed Mongol troops and Han troops below, her expression calm.
When the Yuan army detected the turmoil within the city and prepared to suppress it, Lu Xueqi waved her right hand, and countless bolts of lightning erupted. Several thousand Mongol troops were instantly annihilated.
This single move stunned all the armies outside the city.
The soldiers looked up at Lu Xueqi floating in the sky with her long hair flowing, their eyes filled with terror. Many immediately knelt and begged for mercy, treating her as a heavenly deity.
Seeing this, Lu Xueqi spoke: “Remain here and await orders. The Yuan Court’s mandate has ended—it is time for the Han people to rule themselves. 4.7 days later, you must submit to the new dynasty and defend the Han Chinese Empire.”
The generals and soldiers all saluted respectfully. “Yes, Immortal Maiden!”
Afterward, they gathered their respective troops and waited quietly.
Lu Xueqi then transmitted her voice to Zhu Yuanzhang and the others on the mountain, telling them to come and take over the army.
Zhu Yuanzhang marveled at the wonder of long-distance voice transmission, and upon learning that he could take over the Yuan army outside the city, he became even more excited.
He led tens of thousands of Ming Cult troops down the mountain ranges, heading straight to the outskirts of the military camp.
Looking at Lu Xueqi suspended in the sky, everyone’s expressions were filled with reverence.
Under Lu Xueqi’s guidance, the Yuan troops successively surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang.
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Yuanzhang gained the allegiance of over a hundred thousand troops.
Although these soldiers had yet to truly acknowledge him, out of fear of Lu Xueqi, they dared not harbor the slightest thought of betrayal.
As for whether Zhu Yuanzhang could truly subdue these people in the future, that would depend on his own methods.
