Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 478: The Queen of Cang Yue
The ice flames separated from Yun Che's palm and adhered to the stone door. There was no roar of power, nor the explosion of Feng Yan and Feng Yi. There was not even the slightest sound or light of the release of power. It was just slow and silent. Slowly extinguishes and disappears.
And the part of the stone door where the ice flame is attached has a depression the size of a fist!
This depression presents an extremely regular hemispheric shape inwards, which is extremely smooth and smooth, comparable to the most flawless mirror surface, as if it was polished with the most exquisite craftsmanship in the world.
Looking at the depression so close, Yun Che had a look of surprise on his face. Before, he opened Purgatory, used the strongest attack, and even shattered the Dragon Fault, only to create a gap the size of half a fingernail, allowing him to see just a glimmer of hope to get out of here, but now, the miracle created by the ice flames... But it made him almost clearly see the day when he walked out of here!
"Very good!" Yun Che clenched his hands excitedly: "In this case, at most a few hundred times, a big enough gap can be blasted!"
Yun Che opened his hands again, burning the Phoenix Flame and condensing the Bing Yi, but this time, before the fusion started, his brain felt dizzy, and a deep sense of weakness appeared in his profound veins. The reaction of Xuan Li and mental power made him hesitate for a while, then he put away Feng Yan and Bing Yi, then closed his eyes and concentrated, and restored the Xuan Li and mental power with all his strength.
Half a day passed, and Yun Che's profound strength and mental strength finally returned to their peak state, and he began to reintegrate the ice flames. This time, the fusion time seemed to be slightly shorter than the last time. As he blasted the ice flames towards the stone door, the location was the depression created before. Suddenly, as the ice flames swallowed and destroyed silently, the previously fist-sized depression significantly expanded in width and depth, but it was still as smooth as a mirror, without any roughness or corners.
In this place where he has been imprisoned for eighteen months, the only thing he has to do is to get out of here. In the following time, Yun Che basically spent all of it fusing the ice flames and restoring his profound strength and energy. He repeats the same actions and processes every day... Unconsciously, he fuses the ice flames faster and faster, from at most two times a day to three times a day, to four times a day... five Months later, in the extreme state, he could barely fuse five times a day!
Compared to the beginning, both the time required for fusion and the consumption of profound energy and energy have been reduced several times.
Moreover, during this process, his profound strength and mental strength were also greatly tempered...

Tianxuan Continent, Blue Wind Country.
At this time, two full years had passed since the news came that Yun Che was buried in the Ancient Xuan Ark. While Yun Che was struggling in the ancient profound ark, the Blue Wind Kingdom had already become chaotic and full of smoke.
The capital of Blue Wind Kingdom, Blue Wind Imperial City.
"Your Majesty the Queen, something bad has happened. Crescent City has been completely occupied. Lord Murong and General Zhenhuai have died in battle one after another. Some of the disciples of Crescent Xuanfu organized a spontaneous resistance... and all of them died in battle... Now, Crescent City The city, the Canghuo Realm, and the Thick Earth Realm... have all been lost..."
When the bad news came, everyone present was furious. Dongfang Xiu, the master of Blue Wind Palace, exclaimed in shock: "How could it happen so fast! There are 400,000 defenders over there in Crescent City!"
"Back to Master Dongfang, yesterday there were suddenly four more powerful men from the Divine Phoenix Sect in the siege team of the Divine Phoenix Empire. It is said that they are all powerful men in the Tyrant Profound Realm... Most of the 400,000 defenders were killed by them. Under the phoenix flames... half of Crescent City has been burned to rubble!" The wounded soldier was crying loudly as he spoke.
Four Overlords...
The people present were all people with extremely high power in Blue Wind Kingdom, but under such news, their faces were still pale with shock, their whole bodies were sweating, and they even felt a sense of despair in their hearts. Their eyes were all focused on Cang Yue.
Cang Yue was dressed in gold and wore a purple gold crown. She stood on top of the city tower and looked to the south, seemingly seeing the ruthless smoke coming from the distance. Her face remained majestic and her beautiful eyes were calm. The news of the fall of Crescent City did not seem to have the slightest impact on her.
She is no longer the gentle and weak Princess Cang Yue who only has Yun Che in her life, but the Empress Cang Yue who holds the highest power of Cang Feng and leads all the people of Cang Feng in the chaos of war.
She turned around, her phoenix eyes swept over everyone, and her voice was as calm as water: "Everyone, do you have anything to say about the fall of Xinyue?"
All the generals looked at each other, but no one stood up and spoke. The Divine Phoenix Empire was simply too powerful. Compared with Blue Wind Nation, the disparity in national power could be called a world of difference. The battle with the Divine Phoenix Empire could not be called a war at all, but a one-sided massacre and crushing. It has only been less than two years since the sudden invasion of the Divine Phoenix Empire. More than half of the territory of Blue Wind Kingdom has been lost, and the five most important main cities have all fallen. It won't be long before they attack the Blue Wind Imperial City. Below... let alone the current Blue Wind Nation, even if it were ten times more powerful, it would be basically impossible to resist.
In the face of absolute strength, any strategy and fighting spirit are useless and vain.
In the deathly silence, someone finally couldn't help it and stood up and shouted: "Imperial sister! There is no way we can win this battle. All resistance is meaningless except for increasing casualties! Divine Phoenix! The empire is already overwhelmed by a large army, and it won’t take long for troops to reach Blue Wind Imperial City. It is the most correct choice for us to surrender as soon as possible to quell this war!”
The person who spoke was the second prince Cangye... No, with Cangyue ascending the throne, he is now a prince. As soon as he said this, some generals on the scene suddenly showed anger on their faces... And these were only a small part, the eyes of most people flickered. Because Cangye said what they had been holding in their hearts for a long time, but they dared not say it.
"How dare you!" Cangyue shouted angrily: "In the face of national crisis, Xinyue City has fallen, but you are not concerned about the national crisis, angry and hate Shenhuang, but instead shout out such a shameful word of surrender in public! You really disappoint this emperor!"
Canggye glanced at the reactions of the people around him, gritted his teeth, and said sternly: "Imperial sister! How powerful the Shenhuang Empire is, and whether Cangfeng Kingdom will still exist in a few years, we all know it! The so-called resistance is meaningless! If we surrender and take the initiative to welcome the Shenhuang Army, the war can stop immediately. After the Shenhuang Empire accepts our Cangfeng Kingdom, it will not only keep us alive, but also give us a lot of Identity..."
"Shut up!" Queen Cang Yue raised her eyebrows, furious: "Cang Ye! As a royal prince, you actually said such treasonous and shameless words! Have you forgotten how the Shenhuang army ravaged my Cang Feng territory? Have you forgotten how many Cang Feng people lost their lives to defend the territory? Have you forgotten how your father died... In front of such national hatred and family feuds, and countless heroic corpses, you are so greedy for life and afraid of death, willing to be a slave of a fallen country..."
Cang Feng's chest rose and fell violently, obviously disappointed and angry: "Since this is your first offense, this emperor will temporarily forget what you said just now. If you do it again If you dare to say anything that will damage the dignity of my royal family, I will never forgive you!"
Being scolded by Cang Yue in front of all the important ministers, Cangye's face darkened. He gritted his teeth and roared unwillingly: "Royal sister! This king is not afraid of death, but for my Cangfeng royal family, for the safety of everyone present, and for the entire Cangfeng country! Wherever the Shenhuang country goes, major sects surrender one after another, and even sects like Xiao Zong take the initiative to welcome them and show their loyalty... Everything depends on fate, and only those who can endure temporary humiliation are real men... And royal sister, you are now the emperor of Cangfeng, as long as you surrender, maybe Shenfeng will be able to save you. The Phoenix Imperial Family will still appoint you as the Lord of Blue Wind, otherwise, you will have no choice but to die. The fate is completely different... Imperial sister, you really should stop being stubborn!"
"Asshole!" Queen Cang Yue was completely furious, and her majestic eyes became icy cold: "Come here, take Cang Ye down the tower and behead him in public!"
When Cang Yue said this, everyone present was shocked, and more than a dozen old ministers hurriedly stood up, but before they could speak, Cang Yue said coldly: "Anyone who dares to plead will be implicated!"
Two golden-clad guards immediately flew up, held Cang Ye tightly, and dragged him back. Cang Ye never thought that Cang Yue would actually behead him... After all, he was Cang Yue's biological brother, the prince of the Blue Wind Imperial Family. He struggled and screamed: "You... you dare to kill me? I am the Prince of Cangfeng, your brother... all my words are for the sake of the royal bloodline, why do you kill me... if you kill me, how can you be worthy of my dead father!"
"If I don't kill you, I will be sorry for my father and my ancestors of the Cangfeng royal family! It is a shame for my Cangfeng royal family to have a scum like you who is greedy for life and afraid of death and willing to be a slave... No need to drag it on, behead it immediately on the spot!!"
"Royal sister... you... wait, royal sister... ah!!"
Chi...
As the golden guard raised his knife and fell quickly, Cang Ye's head flew from his neck in front of everyone's eyes, splashing blood, and then fell to the ground with a bang, dragging scarlet blood and rolling far away.
Everyone's throat "gurgled" heavily, and those who came out to plead for Cang Ye retreated in a panic, their legs trembling. After Cang Yue ascended the throne, Cang Feng Xuan Fu, under the leadership of Dongfang Xiu, was completely loyal to her. She controlled the power of Cang Feng Xuan Fu, and as an emperor, she had the highest power of life and death. Even if Cang Ye was a prince, she wanted to kill him, and no one dared to stop her or complain.
"Cang Feng can be destroyed in a grand manner, but it will never live in humiliation! If Cang Feng is destroyed, I will die. As long as I am still alive, I will swear to fight to the death with the Shenhuang Empire... Do any of you want to surrender?"
The Queen Cang Yue's eyes swept over everyone, her voice carrying a heavy sense of dominance and a hint of murderous intent. As her voice fell, all the hundreds of important officials on the scene knelt down in a hurry, and were silent. No one dared to mention the word "surrender" anymore.
Dongfang Xiu stood at the front, silently looking at Queen Cang Yue, sighing in his heart: he had been with Cang Wanhe for a long time, and Cang Yue could be said to have grown up under his watch. In a place like the royal family, which was full of gunpowder smoke, her heart was like a clear and quiet water, a soft and delicate flower. She hated disputes, never bullied any servants as a princess, was gentle and kind, not to mention killing people, from childhood to adulthood, even a small animal, she never hurt.
After she married Yun Che, she no longer asked about the affairs of the royal family, and even completely forgot her identity as a princess. Her whole heart was completely tied to Yun Che. After Yun Che went to Bingyun Fairy Palace, she leaned against the window every day and looked forward to it. She did not hesitate to ask all the palace maids around her, and quietly learned all kinds of things that a wife should know, just thinking about how to become the most outstanding and perfect breath of Yun Che.
Now, she has completely become another person, decisive in killing, dominating the world, and sometimes even cruel and ruthless. The gentleness of the past has completely disappeared.
Two years ago, the news of Yun Che's death in the Ancient Mysterious Ark came, and Cang Yue fell into a coma on the spot and fell ill. Three months later, the three million strong troops of the Divine Phoenix Empire broke into the border and invaded on a large scale. From then on, Cang Feng was in chaos and in danger... Three months later, Cang Wanhe was assassinated, but when he was dying, he couldn't find anyone to inherit the throne... Those princes usually schemed against each other and tried every means to please Cang Wanhe, dreaming of inheriting the throne, but at that time, the army of the Divine Phoenix Empire invaded, and Cang Feng was doomed to perish. Who would be willing to be the king of this doomed country? It was too late to hide.
At this time, Cang Yue, who was still immersed in the pain of Yun Che's death, appeared in front of Cang Wanhe's bed, and took the initiative to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the doomed country with his soft shoulders. In the history of the Cang Feng royal family, there has never been a female emperor, but when Cang Yue succeeded to the throne, all the princes did not object, but breathed a sigh of relief.
Dongfang Xiu still remembered that at that time, Cang Wanhe grabbed Cang Yue's hand, his eyes were filled with tears, and he gently said: "Yue'er, you have suffered..." Then his eyes were fixed, tears fell, and he died with his eyes open.
Yes, she really suffered. She was bearing the pain of her husband's death and the difficulty of the country's demise at the same time... If it were an ordinary woman, it would be impossible to bear it. But she bore it. After succeeding to the throne, she did not shed a tear, and her temperament changed completely... Or in other words, before the national crisis, she had to change.
She has been in office for a year and a half, and what she has experienced and endured is more than Cang Wanhe's decades in office. And her current prestige and imperial demeanor are no less than Cang Wanhe's at the beginning. Every word and action is full of imperial power.
Dongfang Xiu didn't know whether to be relieved or heartbroken.
"General Feng, you must lead all your cavalry to march south immediately, and at the same time, send a message to the Desert Lord Geng Wanli, asking him to abandon the northwest and set off to the south immediately... Travel day and night, and meet at the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range north of Xinyue City within 15 days! Then hide on both sides of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, and wait for the Shenhuang Army to arrive, and ambush on both sides!"
"Remember! The deeper you go into the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, the more ferocious the mysterious beasts will be, so just hide on the periphery, and never go deep!"
When mentioning the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, Cang Yue's heart trembled... because they fell in love with each other in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range during the hardships they shared.
"I have received your order!" A mighty general wearing silver armor and full of majesty came out to salute, then raised his head and asked: "Your Majesty, if Geng Wanli wants to go south, he will pass through the Tianjian Mountain Range. Do you want him to ask for help from Tianjian Villa again?"
The beautiful eyebrows of Queen Cangyue frowned suddenly, and she turned her eyes to the direction of Tianjian Villa, and said in a cold voice: "Thousands of years ago, my Cangfeng ancestor and Tianjian ancestor were friends of life and death. The two supported each other, one held the power of the world, and the other held the power of the world. They swore to each other that they would live and die together. If one side was in danger of extinction, the other side must help with all its strength... At that time, my Cangfeng royal family was in turmoil, and my father was poisoned by a traitor. They turned a blind eye to it, which was unkind and unjust, but at that time the royal family was not facing the danger of survival, so they could still be forgiven."
"And if Today, Cangfeng is on the verge of extinction. In the past two years, we have asked for help from Tianjian Villa nine times, even at the cost of groveling, but they have closed the villa and never paid any attention. Since they have broken off their friendship, why should we humiliate ourselves again! "
General Feng nodded slowly: "I understand, I will take my leave."
"Wait!" Queen Cangyue turned around: "Although we have broken off our friendship, we should indeed go to Tianjian Villa again."
Queen Cangyue's voice fell, and a piece of light golden silk was spread out in her hand. She gathered her profound power and wrote quickly on the silk...
"Unrighteous hatred, indifference, this emperor will remember! If Cangfeng is not overturned this time, Cangfeng and Tianjian will no longer have any favors, and will be enemies forever!"
Queen Cangyue did not cover up when she wrote, and anyone who was slightly closer could clearly see what she wrote on the silk. After writing, she handed the silk to General Feng: "Send someone to Tianjian Villa, no need to see anyone, just throw it at the foot of Tianjian Mountain Range! Regardless of whether Cangfeng lives or dies this time, this emperor will never take back this word!"
Looking at the handsome handwriting on the silk, which exuded the power of the emperor, General Feng nodded heavily, put the silk away, and quickly retreated.
Queen Cangyue watched him leave, then turned around and looked into the distance. No one knew what she was thinking.
"...I am the daughter of Cangfeng and the wife of Yun Che. Even if I die, I will never tarnish the reputation of my family and my husband!"
