Otherworldly Evil Monarch

Chapter 1261: Cutting the Weeds and Removing the Roots!

“Tian Fa’s Eagle Tribe’s Eagle King, Sky Crusher, sacrificed himself here to protect the interests of the common people and safeguard the future of the continent. His heroic spirit shall live forever, watching over the continent from here!”

The Blood of Yellow Flame rose into the sky, streaking a circle around the stone cliff.

Mei Xueyan and Big Bear looked silently at the gigantic statue, unable to tear their eyes away...

Little Eagle, are you lonely on that side? Are you bored? Will you be thinking of us? I’m sure you will! We miss you so much as well...

After a long period of silence, Big Bear suddenly started howling in a heart rending manner. Snot and tears ran down his face, and he sat on the ground, unable to breathe: “Ninth brother... Ninth Brother, ah! Your Fourth Elder Brother misses you, elder brother misses you ah... you... you need to come back, quickly come back ah....”

Hearing Big Bear letting out his emotions like this, Mei Xueyan, Long Crane, and the others, also could not stop themselves as they began to cry aloud as well...

The autumn wind swept through the camp, carrying Big Bear’s heart broken cries far away. The entire world seemed to be filled with the howls of grief at that moment...

————————

When everything was over, the hundred thousand people all began to move together, digging graves under that newly erected gigantic mountain. They were preparing to lay the fallen warriors to rest! Many of those graves only had a name, without any bodies in them. Because nothing of them was left behind, the others could only grab a bunch of soil and put it in their graves...

Grave after grave was erected, densely covering the area and stretching out for as far as the eye could see.

The early autumn wind swirled through the newly built graveyard, sounding especially cold and fierce, as if those warriors were still embroiled within an intense battle...

Numerous paper bags which carried names that used to be either familiar or unfamiliar to the crowd were placed into the graves.

As the soil was being moved, everyone’s movements were careful and gentle, as if they were afraid of awakening the slumbering heroic souls...

Jun Moxie visited each grave personally, walking silently without saying a single word. His eyes were staring far off, as if he were looking at another world, bidding farewell to the departed souls...

“Number one expert of the Holy Lands, the grave of Gu Han! Gu Han, a peak Saint Monarch, single handedly slayed 3,000 enemy Outsiders Saint Emperors, ultimately perishing alongside countless powerful enemies! Gu Han contributed outstanding meritorious services to the war, and is the number one expert of the continent!”

“Palace Lord of the Elusive World of Immortals, Mo Wudao’s Grave!”

“Palace Lord of the Supreme Golden City, Xi Ruochen’s Grave!”

“Saint Venerable of Heaven Saint Palace, Cheng Yinxiao’s Grave!”

“Saint Venerable of Heaven Saint Palace, Qu Wuhui’s Grave!”

...

There were countless heroes who, when they were alive, were all powerful characters that many people looked up to. Many of them were already legendary characters when they were alive... But now, they were just buried here inconspicuously...

All the glory of the past was dissipated with the wind...

The world was silent as they watched this scene!

The mountains were silent as they stood watch over this place!

Jun Moxie sighed repeatedly and finally unable to withhold his emotions, he left another line of words on a mountain, tens of zhang above the graves.

“This is the resting place of 100,000 heroic souls! These heroes are the pillars that hold the Xuan Xuan Continent together. Here is the true Pillar of Heavens Mountain! This Pillar of Heavens Mountain is built with the fresh blood and soul of 100,000 heroes, indestructible for 10,000 ages!”

The crowd stood in silence and watched the area for a long time. Everyone’s eyes were wet.

“Today’s battle shall be recorded into the history books!” Jun Moxie’s hair flew wildly behind his head. His expression was solemn as he continued. “The sacrifices and the bravery of our continent’s heroes needs to be spread for tens of thousands of years!”

He didn’t specifically instruct anyone to proceed with this task, but behind him, Dugu Zongheng, Murong Fengyun, and the Xuan cultivators of the various countries of the continent, immediately took this as an important mission to carry out. As long as the Evil Monarch uttered a request, no one would dare to not fulfill it for him!

The grand army stayed there for a full 10 days!

On the morning of the 11th day, all the troops were gathered before the graveyard again, under the lead of Jun Moxie and Mei Xueyan.

With Jun Moxie and Mei Xueyan taking the lead, a total of more than 200,000 people stood as straight as pencils, their faces solemn as they looked silently at the graves. Then, in an orderly manner, the entire army bowed deeply three times!

The autumn wind suddenly grew stronger, and colder. Countless leaves flew from the distance, swirling in the air.

The flags of the allied army flew noisily in the air...

It was finally time for the victorious army to return.

Right now, this was the final respect that the army was going to pay to the fallen heroes as they bid their farewell!

The entire army of 200,000 people was completely silent.

After a long time, the army flags were hoisted up again, and the first group of the army departed first. Even after having walked a long distance away, many people kept looking back continuously with endless sighs...

Finally, the allied army began to leave for the continent...

By afternoon, most of the allied army had already left. The battlefield was already feeling somewhat empty. The last batch of soldiers from Tian Xiang had already left. And right now, only the armies of Tian Fa and the Evil Monarch Manor were left.

In the last 10 days, Big Bear had been sitting mutely on the ground, gazing at the Eagle King statue like an idiot. No one knew what he was thinking in his head. In just those few days, that previously robust body now looked several rounds thinner.

Jun Moxie fell silent for a long time, then finally turned to look at everyone.

“Right now, those who’d reached the level of Saint Emperor and above, please step forward.”

With a loud sound, a large number of people stepped out from the crowd. Just by looking at them and estimating roughly, there were at least several thousand!

Jun Moxie looked at them, his face showing a hint of ruthlessness. Gritting his teeth, he said: “I called you all out here, to give you only one mission! This mission is difficult, but it must be done! If it cannot be done, you can all bury yourselves here with those brothers over there!”

Jun Moxie’s tone was strangely fierce, and even Mei Xueyan was hearing Jun Moxie speak like this for the first time!

Everyone’s eyes shone as they looked at Jun Moxie. From Jun Moxie’s tone, they could tell that he must have a grand mission that he wished to entrust them with!

“5,000 people, form up into five different troops! Solitary Eagle, Feng Juanyun, Chu Qihun, Big Bear, and Long Crane, will each lead one troop to kill our way into the Outsiders’ territory! Comb through every corner and utterly wipe out the Outsiders! Thoroughly weed out the root of the trouble, and leave none alive!”

“YES!” All the Saint Emperors chorused together.

Jun Zhantian looked south of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains and said in a deep voice, “There are no more strong experts on the Outsiders’ side. This upcoming battle is just to remove all future troubles and thoroughly exterminate the threat. I will be in Tian Fa, waiting for your good news. I trust that you all will not disappoint me!”

“YES!” All the experts chorused once again.

Some color had once again returned to Big Bear’s eyes, and he was the one who chorused the loudest. The fire in his eyes burned fiercely.

Right now, this Bear King desperately needed a round of grand slaughtering to give vent to the pain in his heart!

Little Ninth, Ninth Brother, Fourth Elder Brother is going to use all the lives of those Outsiders to give you the grandest send off! I am going to take revenge for you!

***

Jun Moxie and the rest simply followed behind the Tian Fa army all the way back. Along the way, both Mei Xueyan and Jun Moxie were somewhat quiet.

Right now, the only power that had the ability to stand alongside the Evil Monarch Manor and Tian Fa—the three Holy Lands, had disappeared. However, neither of them felt any semblance of joy in their heart. In contrast, their hearts were filled with a myriad of complicated feelings. They even felt rather sad at this result. There was a frustration of not knowing what to do next. Like a pair of zombies, they trudged behind the army listlessly...

There was naturally no need to be in a rush for the return journey. In addition, they were travelling with a huge army that numbered over 100,000. After walking like that for over a dozen days, they finally saw some signs of civilization.

After staying at the Pillar of Heavens Mountains for so long, when they saw the sight of civilization again, everyone could not help but feel a bout of emotion surge through their hearts. Everyone had returned from a bitter struggle with death, and to return now like this was an incredible experience that was difficult to understand.

“Moxie, have you discovered that in this War for Seizing the Heavens, no one from the Misty Illusory Manor came to lend a hand? With the relationship between the three Holy Lands and Misty Illusory Manor, this is an exceptionally strange situation.” Mei Xueyan looked at the towns in the distance and spoke with seriousness. “Although the Misty Illusory Manor had never officially participated in the War for Seizing the Heavens, they’d always helped behind the scenes. This time, with the Pillar of Heavens Mountains collapsing, and with how serious the situation was, they actually didn’t appear at all. This is too illogical. Not to mention, we have relations with the Miao Family now. This is extremely strange.”

“You’re right. There’s definitely something behind this matter.” Jun Moxie nodded and expressed his agreement. Why didn’t the Misty Illusory Manor come to help?

Could it be because Zhan Kuang had already returned to the Misty Illusory Manor, and the other seven large families are occupied with saving themselves!?

When he thought of Zhan Kuang again, Jun Moxie felt a headache nagging at his temples. That fellow’s strange state is simply too hard to handle. He cannot be killed, and even something like the Flame of Primal Chaos couldn’t burn him!

What would it take to destroy him completely?

Besides, so much time had already passed because of the war. If Zhan Kuang wanted to devour humans to aid his growth, there was no telling how many people he’d devoured already...

An incomplete Zhan Kuang was already so difficult to deal with. After devouring the essence blood of humans, how much stronger would he have become?
