Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

The towering black dragon, which blotted out the sky, was pressed down by this great force, and its massive body suddenly sank from the sky, and some of the black dragon's fortune that was wrapped around its body dissipated.

"Roar!!!" The Heavenly Black Dragon couldn't help but let out a roar of unwillingness, trying to break free from the suppression of this power of heaven and earth. However, the great power falling from the sky became heavier and heavier, pressing it down so that it could only hang in place, unable to move at all.

This is a true imperial edict that invokes the power and authority of heaven and earth!
The Heavenly Black Dragon was imprisoned, and so was Dong Zhuo, even though he was currently blessed by Heaven and Earth, held the highest position among the subjects, and possessed boundless fortune.

But he is not yet the supreme ruler and must be subject to the constraints of the emperor!

Standing beside the Yongzhou Cauldron on the altar, Dong Zhuo felt its weight and was filled with shock and anger. He never expected that Wang Yun, who had been hiding in the shadows, would have such a hidden plan and become the Lord of the Yellow River, mobilizing the power of the Yellow River and the status of heaven and earth, and combining it with the power of the Han Dynasty to intercept and kill him here!
When he accepted the officials' suggestion to prepare for the abdication ceremony, he and Li Ru and others knew that there would be tests from heaven and earth, and that there would be twists and turns.

That's why they used all their resources to set up formations and arrange all their troops and generals.

He even discussed with Li Ru and others the possibility of an imperial edict being issued!
Indeed, Dong Zhuo had anticipated that the imperial edict read by Wang Yun would appear, since they had all proactively sent Sun Jian an invitation to attend the ceremony, and there was a high probability that Sun Jian would come...

In other words, the Imperial Seal of the State will come to Chang'an!
However, using an imperial edict to guide the power of heaven and earth is not so simple, especially since they have already extracted Emperor Liu Xie's dragon fortune, making the power of the imperial edict even weaker. Given his situation with the Tongtian Black Dragon, it shouldn't be a big problem.

But they never expected that Wang Yun would be ranked as the chief official of the Yellow River, using him to mobilize the great power of heaven and earth, which was beyond their expectations!

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Dong Zhuo's mind. As if realizing something, he pointed at the floating Wang Yun and asked sternly, "Diao Chan told me about the Lord of the Yellow River. Did you deliberately have her say that?!"

Wang Yun stared at Dong Zhuo, snorted coldly, and remained silent. However, this attitude already indicated that what Dong Zhuo said was true.

When Dong Zhuo saw Wang Yun's attitude, he knew he had guessed correctly.

The woman who usually whispered sweet nothings in his ear was actually a pawn planted by Wang Yun!

However, for some reason, Dong Zhuo had an ominous premonition. He suddenly turned his head to look at Lü Bu behind him, who was holding a halberd and looking arrogant.

Lu Bu seemed oblivious to Dong Zhuo's gaze, his eyes fixed firmly on one spot—the very location of the Yongzhou Cauldron!

Normally, Lu Bu, at the level of a Heavenly General, is very perceptive. He can sense even the slightest movement from Lu Bu, even if Lu Bu is behind Lu Bu's back, and will respond to him immediately.

But now, she ignored his gaze and stared greedily at the Yongzhou Cauldron, the meaning of which was self-evident!

This adopted son, whom Li Ru had always been wary of and who had been nurtured with countless resources, turned out to be an ingrate after all!
In his view, he treated Lü Bu very well, even more so than his own sons and daughters.

Now, at this crucial moment, they might betray him and stab him in the back?!
At this moment, not only Dong Zhuo was shocked, but Lin Mu, Sun Jian, Yuan Shu and others who were watching the ceremony were also completely dumbfounded.

Even Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song, among the officials, were completely bewildered and shocked.

Wang Yun is such a master of hiding his true intentions!
Even our allies have to keep it a secret!

The immense power of heaven and earth descended, rendering everyone immobile and forcing them to obediently listen to Wang Yunxuan's imperial edict.

Lin Mu tried to speak and found that he could, but he didn't say anything. He tried to move his body, but found that it was very restricted.

He was also imprisoned during the reading of the imperial edict, after all, he was now a general of the Imperial Guard of the Han Dynasty, a subject!
Wang Yun ignored Dong Zhuo, glanced at the civil and military officials below who were gradually becoming restless, and then looked at each of the positions he had carefully arranged before bowing his head to continue reading the imperial edict.

This imperial edict will clearly not be discontinued.

"I, the Minister of Works, acting on behalf of His Majesty, exercise the authority to execute the traitor Dong Zhuo. I hereby appoint Lü Bu, the most valiant general in the land, the General of the Household, and the Marquis of Duting, as the Vanguard General in the Execution of Dong Zhuo, and entrust him with the authority of the Han Dynasty!!!"

Wang Yun's next words were a game-changer!
Upon hearing this, Dong Zhuo slowly closed his eyes, which revealed a complex light.

Lü Bu had clearly been colluding with Wang Yun for a long time!

The vanguard general in the campaign to eliminate Dong Zhuo—laughable, utterly laughable!!
A hint of sadness flashed across Dong Zhuo's face, but it was quickly replaced by indifference and resoluteness...

"The righteous Zhao Yun is hereby appointed as the vanguard general in the campaign to eliminate Dong Zhuo, and entrusted with the authority of the Han Dynasty!"

"General Dian Wei is hereby appointed as the Vanguard General in the campaign to eliminate Dong Zhuo, and will inherit the power of the Han Dynasty!"

Wang Yun directly provided the three fierce generals who were besieging Dong Zhuo with power and status, enhancing their advantage in the confrontation.

"Buzz!~~~" After Wang Yun finished reading the imperial edict, three strange golden rays descended from the sky, enveloping Lü Bu and the two armored warriors not far away.

Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei positioned themselves in a semi-circular formation, surrounding Dong Zhuo.

Good heavens, such a commotion has directly exposed Zhao Yun and Dian Wei.

The two men, still on guard duty and ready to follow orders, were bewildered as they felt the power bestowed upon them.

It seems that Wang Yun's previous plan has failed!
This was definitely not a last-minute change of tactics; rather, it was Wang Yun who used some means to try and deceive everyone!

Wang Yun truly lived up to his reputation as a cunning old fox; he didn't reveal his final methods and plans until the very last moment.

After reading the imperial edict, Wang Yun glanced at Lü Bu, and the two nodded to each other.

"Roar!!!~~ Dong Zhuo, I told you long ago that this traitor who has served three masters is not to be trusted, look!!" In the sky, the long-silent Tongtian Black Dragon roared angrily, criticizing Lu Bu.

The adopted son turned into a vanguard of slaughter; it's utterly ridiculous.

This dramatic change was broadcast throughout China via the light screen.

The onlookers watched the spectacle silently.

At Mei County, the allied forces and the defending forces have ceased hostilities... because they can see the scene of Dong Zhuo being executed from thousands of miles away, so they will wait for the outcome of the situation in Chang'an.

If Dong Zhuo were truly killed, then Dong Zhuo's camp would be finished. The allied forces would not need to fight desperately against the defending troops. Instead, they could use persuasion to subdue the enemy without a fight!
At the Temple of Heaven, although the civil and military officials were somewhat agitated and the loyal Han officials were somewhat excited, they did not make any substantial moves, after all, the lessons of the past were still fresh in their minds!
They are waiting... waiting for the final result. If Dong Zhuo loses, they will be the ones to push down this wall. If Dong Zhuo wins, they will shout "Long live the Emperor!"

Floating in mid-air, Wang Yun was well aware of the officials' concerns, and he didn't expect these guys to help him.

After reading part of the imperial edict, his face turned even paler, as if he had exhausted himself.

Unfortunately, the decline of the Han Dynasty meant that even as Minister of Works, he lacked any celestial status or identity; otherwise, he would never have needed to rely on the status of Lord of the Yellow River to issue imperial edicts.

If the imperial edict is proclaimed in a title that is merely nominal, the effect will be greatly diminished!
The title of Lord of the Yellow River is not so easily borrowed; he is not the true Lord of the Yellow River, nor is he even the Lord of the Mountain.

Everything was borrowed at the last minute!
Sun Jian, who was observing the ceremony, took in everything.

He hadn't expected that the imperial edict would possess such power. If he used it for other purposes… would it have any miraculous effects?!

Sun Jian involuntarily glanced at Lin Mu, who was hiding in the distance, a ruthless glint flashing deep in his eyes...

Afterwards, the sound of Wang Yun reading the imperial edict continued to echo in the sky:
"General Lin Mu has been promoted to the position of Vanguard General in the campaign to eliminate Dong Zhuo!"

"General Yuan Shu is hereby promoted to the position of Vanguard General in the campaign to eliminate Dong Zhuo!" "Prefect Sun Jian of Changsha is hereby promoted to the position of Vanguard General in the campaign to eliminate Dong Zhuo!"

"Bao Xin, the Chancellor of Jibei, is hereby appointed as the second-in-command general in the campaign to eliminate Dong Zhuo!"

"Huangfu Song, a Gentleman of the Palace, is hereby promoted to the position of Vanguard General in the campaign to eliminate Dong Zhuo!"

"Lu Zhi, the Grand Master of Ceremonies, is hereby appointed as the second vanguard general in the campaign to eliminate Dong Zhuo!"

"..."

Afterwards, a series of imperial edicts were issued promoting officials, including not only the princes who were present at the ceremony, but also Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi, and others who actually participated in the execution of Dong Zhuo.

This reading caused a slight change in the expressions of Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi, and others who were hiding in the shadows.

Wang Yun had not told them this information beforehand. By reading it aloud in public, he was essentially implying that they had all participated in the assassination of Dong Zhuo. If they succeeded, all would be well, but if they failed, they and their families would definitely suffer a bloody purge!
Wang Yun is simply putting everyone on the hot seat!

Upon hearing the imperial edict, Lin Mu's lips curled up slightly. Sure enough, that old schemer Wang Yun ultimately wanted to shift the blame onto others and gather everyone's strength to fight against Dong Zhuo!
Once this imperial edict was issued, those named had no choice but to exert themselves, and to do so with all their might...

But for Lin Mu, as long as he wasn't stripped of his official position and title, being named or subjected to moral blackmail was unimportant and posed no threat to him!
Just as Wang Yunzhi had predicted, Dong Zhuo listened carefully to the names mentioned in the imperial edict and memorized them one by one.

If he wins, he will definitely carry out a brutal purge. Even if they haven't contributed anything yet!
Of course, polite words still had to be said, so Dong Zhuo roared, "Minister Wang Yun has forged an imperial edict, disrupted the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven, and acted against Heaven's will! Furthermore, Minister Wang Yun has imprisoned Emperor Liu Xie and prevented all officials, including myself, from visiting him. Minister Wang Yun has long since seized control of the court and is even more corrupt than the Ten Attendants!!!"

"Gentlemen, if anyone is willing to join me in resisting the traitor Wang Yun and fighting against Lü Bu, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei, I will certainly reward them handsomely afterwards!"

"Gentlemen, Wang Yun is trying to hold you hostage; do not trust him!"

"The tragedies involving the Yuan family, the Zhang Wen family, and others were all orchestrated by Wang Yun. It was he who advised me, the Prime Minister, to do it!!"

"You must not believe them!"

"If you do not wish to join forces with me, you may remain neutral and retreat a thousand steps. I promise that I will not pursue the matter afterward!"

Dong Zhuo has begun to confuse the public...

However, Dong Zhuo's words did indeed sway many officials.

After stating his position, Dong Zhuo slightly raised his head and looked at the Tongtian Black Dragon.

Suddenly, it opened its enormous dragon mouth, and a huge seal-like shadow shot out from it, along with a mysterious power that spread outwards.

Then, the imperial seal shot towards Dong Zhuo.

A profound power spread out, forming a terrifying energy fluctuation, as if a horrific hurricane had swept through.

The immense power that had imprisoned heaven and earth loosened slightly, allowing everyone who had been immobilized to move again.

After breaking free of his restraints, Lü Bu slowly raised his halberd, its cold tip pointing at Dong Zhuo. A strange golden power emanated from the halberd, leaping across its blade and bathing half of his figure in a dazzling golden light.

If a player is killed by Lu Bu, it's not just a simple matter of being redeemed; their soul will be banished to the void, resulting in permanent death!
Even if the Temple of Heaven is not currently equipped with a deadly formation, Lü Bu, empowered by the authority of the Han Dynasty, can still wield the deadly power of life and death.

Once the constraints of heaven and earth are lifted, it will be time to make a choice.

For example, Lin Mu immediately turned around and retreated a thousand steps, quickly arriving at the foot of the Temple of Heaven... No... Lin Mu was still walking, a thousand steps, two thousand steps...

Good heavens, Lin Mu is hiding as far away as possible!
Under Lin Mu's leadership, quite a few officials did indeed evacuate.

Many of these officials were loyal to Dong Zhuo, but they lacked real power and were illiterate in their studies, so they could only cause trouble.

Some lower-ranking officials hesitated for a moment, but also followed suit and left...

Soon, the densely packed civil and military officials became extremely sparse...

Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and others were among those named... They came to Wang Yun's rear and formally stated their position.

Unlike Lin Mu, Sun Jian, Yuan Shu, Bao Xin, and others did not back down and remained bystanders.
Meanwhile, a group of officials who were loyal to Dong Zhuo quickly walked up to the altar of the Temple of Heaven and stood behind Dong Zhuo to show their loyalty.

The two sides are clearly distinct.

Dong Zhuo slowly opened his eyes and looked at the adopted son he had painstakingly raised, who was now pointing a halberd at him. The anger on his face gradually faded, leaving only a cold mockery: "Fengxian, my son, I have treated you well. I have granted you land and titles, and I have never treated you unfairly. Yet today you are willing to draw your halberd against me for the sake of that old scoundrel Wang Yun?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Bu's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light. He took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "You traitor Dong Zhuo! You have disrupted the court, harmed the emperor and his ministers, and caused immense suffering to the people. The people of the world want to kill you. As a general of Han, I am obliged to punish this traitor according to the imperial edict. Today is your death day!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Bu's body shone with golden light. He gripped his halberd and charged towards Dong Zhuo. On the other side, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei exchanged a glance and shouted at the same time. They attacked from the front and back, left and right, with the two golden lights merging into a dazzling point of attack, instantly enveloping Dong Zhuo.

Good heavens, Lü Bu doesn't mention Dong Zhuo's kindness to him at all... What a righteous and awe-inspiring face!

Even from a distance, Lin Mu felt that Lü Bu's skin was thicker than the walls of Chang'an...

As for Dian Wei, he leaped up suddenly, showing no fear whatsoever of the enormous, towering black dragon in the sky, eager to fight!
At this moment, the Heavenly Black Dragon also swung its claws fiercely, enveloping Wang Yun's area. If no one had stopped it, that area would have suffered heavy casualties.

Floating in mid-air, Wang Yun frowned slightly when he saw Dian Wei actually going to block the Tongtian Black Dragon. It was reasonable for Dian Wei to block the Tongtian Black Dragon, but after he was empowered by the position of Lord of the Yellow River, he could borrow the overwhelming power of the Yellow River and would be no weaker than the Tongtian Black Dragon.

He originally came to stop and hold back the Tongtian Black Dragon, but when he saw Dian Wei rushing forward, he hesitated and did not make a move.

The more power he uses of the Yellow River, the greater the price he will have to pay!
Let's see how things go first... If Dian Wei can't stop the Heavenly Black Dragon, then it won't be too late for him to make his move.

"Whoosh! ~~ Poof! ~~~" Just then, Dian Wei, who was rushing towards the sky, unleashed his full power, and a thick blood mist surged out.

In an instant, the entire sky seemed to be dyed red.

Not only that, but a series of sounds, like ocean waves, surged through the blood mist.

In an instant, a vast sea of ​​blood enveloped the enormous, towering black dragon.

That is Dian Wei's Heavenly Divine General Dharma Form, 【Boundless Sea of ​​Blood】!!!
Although many formations were set up at the Temple of Heaven, no formations were set up for combat.

Therefore, Dian Wei can be used!

Then, everyone else can use their full strength too!
"Strange, has the imperial edict been read?" Lin Mu, who was watching from afar, stared intently at Wang Yun and murmured in confusion.

He had a feeling there was more to the imperial edict than met the eye, but that cunning old fox Wang Yun didn't read it aloud immediately. Instead, he held it with both hands, waiting for the right moment. (End of Chapter)
