An Chenyu fully understood "what kind of place Accumulating Thunder Mountain is now."
It was a journey of chaos that isolated the continent, and also... an insurmountable natural barrier.
This barrier had become many times stronger than the original Accumulating Thunder Mountain, safeguarding Great Song.
In this way, only a small number of troops were needed to defend many passes.
Even so, she was very tense.
Because the intelligence on "Law of Heaven and Earth" had come back, and because the invincible Song An had unexpectedly died in battle...
Madam Tong was heartbroken...
Although not much time had passed, for An Chenyu, it felt like an eternity.
An Chenyu hadn’t slept for two days and two nights, and just as dawn broke, she suddenly rose, intending to discuss some matters with Zhao Hua...
The once supreme Regent King still maintained the title of "King Zhao".
Unsurprisingly, King Zhao was very reliable.
At the moment when An Chenyu had just risen, she heard a servant announce from outside: "King Zhao has arrived~~~"
An Chenyu, with her eyes red from exhaustion, straightened her clothes and went to the main hall for guests, only to see that man, whose whole body emitted an air of dark and lethal intensity, walk rapidly towards her, then stop at a distance and respectfully greet her with a bow, saying, "Sister-in-law An."
An Chenyu dismissed everyone else and sat upright on the wooden chair with dignity, seemingly nonchalant as she fiddled with the bronze incense burner on the rosewood table, her expression focused. From the side, her grace was unparalleled.
"Sit."
The voice was calm, betraying no hint of her inner emotions.
Zhao Hua glanced at An Chenyu’s reddened eyes, found a chair at a distance to sit down, and chuckled: "Sister-in-law An was thinking of going together with me, right?"
An Chenyu was selecting the monarch and ministers from the mixed incense, and then said, "Then... how about King Zhao and I each write a character on our palms and then verify with each other, is that alright?" frёewebnoѵēl.com
Zhao Hua nodded.
Immediately, they each wrote a character on their palms.
Then they revealed them to each other.
An Chenyu wrote "retreat".
What Zhao Hua wrote was: Escape!
The two looked at each other in silence.
Zhao Hua decisively said, "We can’t care about that much anymore. Big brother is not here, and the Melting Fire Empire has produced a powerhouse of ’Law of Heaven and Earth’. Since such a powerful figure has emerged, we can’t stay here any longer.
We will pack up immediately, we must retreat from the Imperial Capital within three days, then feign uncertainty, not letting anyone know our whereabouts.
If anyone refuses to go, then let them stay behind..."
If it were someone else, perhaps they would have said things like "Is this necessary?" "The enemy hasn’t attacked yet, have they?" "Don’t we still have the natural barrier of Accumulating Thunder Mountain?" and so on.
But An Chenyu just nodded her head.
Even if it was an empty glory, she had still broken free.
If it were only her thinking of escaping, she might have given more thought to whether she should go or not, after all... it did not seem the most desperate of times just yet.
But since Zhao Hua had the same idea as her, there was no need to wait.
Both of them were resolute in their decision.
Then, it was time for immediate action.
...
Three days later...
The lines of King Song and King Zhao were as if everyone had vanished.
But after all, there were still many who did not wish to leave.
Ji Youke was unwilling to go; not only was she unwilling to leave, but she also hid Ji Changjian away, in a place that neither An Chenyu nor King Zhao could find...
They were not the only ones; numerous other descendants of the Song Family had all gone into hiding as well.
Having no other choice, An Chenyu and Madam Tong could only awaken the slumbering Su Ningyu and Su Mengzhen, briefly explain the situation, and then lead the descendants of the Song Family who were willing to leave, quickly evacuating the Imperial Capital, spreading deception afterwards, and completely disappearing from public view, transforming from the prominent imperial Song Dynasty family to a hidden noble family.
...
...
"Finally, they’ve all left, finally..."
Ji Youke, adorned with the Flying Phoenix Gold and Silver Net Ornament, finally emerged from the shadows.
The Ji Family and the connected forces on the Ji Family’s side had already informed her of the departure of An Chenyu and King Zhao.
Beside her, a man said, "Cousin, even the Empress Dowager and King Zhao, who are so clever, are thinking of fleeing. Is it really safe for our Ji Family to stay?"
Ji Youke replied, "Both under someone’s power, in the shadow of the Empress Dowager and King Zhao, our Ji Family had no chance at all... But if it’s the deity of the enemy nation, that’s different."
"What’s the difference?"
"Fool."
Ji Youke coldly rebuked, and then said, "When have you ever seen my father-in-law care about these grand matters of the dynasty? The transfer of power? What my father-in-law cares about is all his cultivation.
So, if that deity comes here, he will surely be here for cultivation as well, and... he will need a power that is familiar with this land.
Our Ji Family can be that power."
After speaking, she asked, "Where is Changjian?"
The man answered, "Cousin, Changjian is hiding well."
Ji Youke said, "The crown prince’s ascension is only natural, tomorrow will be the water offering and seal conferment ceremony!"

...
Months later...
In Thundercloud State, the Black Demon Eagle Riders swept across the sky like a coat of pitch-black blades, the resounding clamor of their formidable black veil slicing directly towards the invading man.
The man leading them was mighty and valiant, with electricity dancing in his eyes. Clutching a long spear tightly in his hand, he charged forward at the head of the Thundercloud Cavalry without a hint of fear, as he roared the word "kill!"
Unfortunately, the man’s figure shifted, assuming the invincible posture of "Law of Heaven and Earth," soaring into the sky, shoulders touching the clouds. With a wave of his hand, he tore the invincible Black Demon Eagle Riders of Thundercloud State to shreds.
The man was the new deity of the Melting Fire Empire—the Melting Flame Divine Edge.
The Melting Flame Divine Edge looked indifferently at these Eagle Riders. Perhaps a long time ago, such power could have injured him, but now... even faced with thousands of elite troops, they were no more than toys.
With several waves of his hands, the Black Demon Eagle Riders that Yan Baixiang had built with a lifetime of effort were effortlessly torn apart...
The clouds, the sky, huge swathes of feathers fluttered and fell. The several-feet-long wings were nothing more than mosquitoes before the Melting Flame Divine Edge...
