The mysterious world: Start working hard from the beggar camp!

Chapter 566: Died before his ambitions were fulfilled, the end of a great power
In Guiyang City, Hong Chengchou stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky.

They had just finally wiped out a swarm of over one billion termite monsters that had been besieging the city for days, allowing their forces to safely survive this greatest crisis.

However, the bite power of this group of termite monsters is extremely strong. They can even eat through the energy shield of the city defense formation, which is really shocking.

Even the shrewd Hong Chengchou did not expect that the strength of the monsters to attack the city was closely related to the city's own defensive capabilities.

Ever since he ordered his army to withdraw completely into the city of Guiyang, he has faced two consecutive attacks from monsters and demons, with the number of enemy troops exceeding one billion each time!

And they are led by more than a dozen level six kings!
To be honest, if Guiyang City was not protected by an extremely powerful talisman formation, Hong Chengchou would definitely not be a match for the enemy and would be doomed to be destroyed.

Fortunately, Hong Yuanfeng obtained the talisman inheritance left by the mysterious ancient Dan, and promptly set up a super talisman formation connected to the earth veins. Only then did he narrowly win the final victory, and the casualties among the soldiers were not great.

However, it was not without a huge price: the huge talisman formation that covered the entire huge Guiyang City was forcibly broken through by the enemy at the last moment.

To repair it, it would take Hong Yuanfeng at least three days and three nights of sleepless work.

Now Hong Chengchou was standing on the city gate tower of East City, looking up at the sky, worrying in his heart, whether he would encounter another group of demons and monsters attacking at this critical moment?
The battle just ended a while ago, and the soldiers are still cleaning up the battlefield. The entire Guiyang city is in a state of not being protected by a city defense formation.

Once that happens, it will be a fatal blow to the defenders!
After all, being attacked by massive monsters twice in a row had already caused serious damage to the spirit of the soldiers, and even the large number of talismans refined by Hong Yuanfeng had been used up.

If Hong Yuanfeng wanted to replenish them, it would take more than a month for him to do it alone.

"I don't know what the various forces in China's Nine Provinces, especially Li Dingguo, are facing."

"The territory of the Renaissance Army is so large, can they protect it?"

Hong Chengchou then lowered his head and thought, "If they only defend a few important cities, such as Luoyang City, Chang'an City, the northern capital, Yangzhou City, etc., it will inevitably cause cities and towns everywhere to fall into chaos."

"In that case, even if Li Dingguo's Fuxing Army survives this disaster, it will be in chaos internally. At least within a few years, it will be impossible to rush the army across the river to the south before resolving the internal chaos."

"In that case, I will have a few years to develop the Hong family army and I. There will be opportunities in the future to unify the nine provinces of China and establish the Hong family's eternal hegemony!"

Thinking of this, even if Hong Chengchou was a shrewd man who could not show his emotions, he could not help but feel a little excited.

That is the real imperial ambition!
What a great achievement it would be if it could be achieved?
If there was any fatal flaw in Hong Chengchou, it was that he attached too much importance to fame, wealth and power.

Although he is a typical selfish person who only benefits himself and never benefits others, it is undeniable that he is one of the most outstanding commanders in the world today.

If the Hong family could unify the world, he would even be able to create a superpower that would far surpass the Ming Dynasty!

"Chirp..."

At this moment, a bird's cry suddenly came from the sky.

Hong Chengchou quickly looked up and looked in the direction of the voice!

I saw a red light flashing from the northeast sky, and it arrived above Guiyang city in an instant.

Obviously, this is a level six spirit bird, which is why it dares to appear here so confidently and boldly.

If it wasn't a level six spirit bird, it wouldn't have the ability to travel thousands of miles alone at this time. It would have been hunted down by other top-level demon birds during the flight and died.

"There are actually two people on the back of this big red bird?"

Hong Chengchou's face changed, and he wondered in confusion, "Who are they?"

"What are you doing in Guiyang City?"

"This can't be Li Dingguo. If it were him, the flying mount he would ride would definitely be that peak level six golden eagle!"

"Let me think... where did the sixth-level red spirit bird come from?"

It was like a flash of lightning in his mind, and he immediately thought of something, his face changed, "Not good!"

"This is the red bird that protects the Ming Dynasty!"

"I heard that they have the rich bloodline of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Bird, and are the exclusive spiritual birds of the Ming Dynasty royal family. They have not been found anywhere else for thousands of years!"

"Could it be that Chongzhen himself has come here to execute a decapitation operation against me?"

In the blink of an eye, the big red bird had locked onto Hong Chengchou's trail, swooped down like lightning, and instantly arrived less than ten feet above his head!
"Hong Chengchou, you traitor! It seems that God can't stand it anymore, and you are suffering retribution today!"

"Without the protection of the city defense formation, I will make you die here today!"

"Are you Hong Chengchou? Give me your life!"

"The Great Dao Treasure Bottle appears!"...

At the same time as the two scoldings were heard, Zhu Mianchu had already activated her own innate magical power: the Dao Aquarius.

I saw a moonlit light spreading all over the sky, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a nine-foot-sized silver-gray treasure bottle, spinning rapidly above Hong Chengchou's head!
An incredibly powerful devouring gravitational force enveloped Hong Chengchou in an instant, even imprisoning his body!

With Hong Chengchou's current cultivation level of the late sixth level, he couldn't even activate the innate divine weapon in his body to protect himself!

This situation completely overturned his cognition!

"No!"

"Chongzhen, it's you!"

"Who is this little girl? How is it possible for her to use such an amazing innate magical power?"

"Ah... Your Majesty, I am willing to return to the imperial court and expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty in the future!"...

However, despite his feeble struggle and constant begging for mercy, he could not withstand the powerful devouring force that enveloped his entire body!
Amid his heart-wrenching screams, he could only watch himself being swallowed by the incredibly magical silver-grey vase.

"Die!"

Zhu Mianchu's eyes turned cold, and she urged the Dao Treasure Bottle to shake slightly, instantly shattering Hong Chengchou's soul inside, killing him easily!

"Great Dao Treasure Bottle, swallow it!"

Zhu Mianchu continued to move, manipulating the vase to spin in a circle, swallowing up all of Hong Chengchou's body and the remaining soul fragments, turning them into nothing!
At this time, there was only a large flag artifact left in the vase, exuding a strong innate aura!

"My natal divine fire, go!"

"Practice for me!"

Zhu Mianchu raised her hand and shot out a silver-white flame, which fell into the vase, wrapped around the large flag artifact, and began to burn and purify it!
Although she was young, she knew through her extensive reading and her father's advice that this kind of artifact contained various hidden dangers.

Before refining it into one's own divine weapon, one must purify and eliminate the hidden dangers within it.

The innate divine fire awakened by Zhu Mianzhu is undoubtedly one of the most powerful flames in the universe. It is estimated that it can be compared with the Xuanhuang Fire inside Li Dingguo's innate divine artifact, the cauldron.

After a while, a faint scream came from inside the big flag artifact, and it turned into a puff of black smoke and was burned to ashes. This top-grade innate artifact big flag finally became a true ownerless artifact. "Hehe..."

"Father, I've heard from you that Hong Chengchou is a very powerful person, and he is also very ambitious. He can be regarded as one of the heroes in the nine provinces of China."

When Zhu Mianzhu saw that she had killed the opponent in one blow, and that he had completely annihilated his soul, she immediately said to Chongzhen with a smile, "Now it seems that he is just like that. He is not my opponent!"

This little girl is not bragging, but telling the truth.

When she used her Dao-level innate magical power to its fullest, Hong Chengchou was no match for her at all.

"Uh……"

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly, but he didn't know how to teach his daughter, who was so powerful that she was truly invincible. After thinking for a while, he could only say, "Changping, don't be proud and complacent!"

"Compared to Hong Chengchou, Li Dingguo is the real enemy."

"If you meet him in the future, don't underestimate him. You may not be his opponent."

At this moment, he could only use Li Dingguo's strength to warn the girl.

It would be bad if she becomes complacent in the future and stops her current rapid progress.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

"I feel like it won't be long before I can break through to the peak of the Qi Refining Realm!"

"Then I will practice hard in seclusion and break through to the Spirit Refining Realm in one fell swoop. Let's see if Li Dingguo can defeat me!"

"Once I have defeated him, I will capture him and help you conquer the country!"

During this period, she often heard her father comparing herself to Li Dingguo, whom she had never met.

Although Zhu Mianchu was extremely curious about Li Dingguo, she was very unwilling to accept it.

Even those big dragons and Hong Chengchou were no match for me. No matter how strong Li Dingguo was, he could only be as strong as me.

Once I reach the same level of cultivation as Li Dingguo, I don’t believe that I cannot defeat him!
"Okay, it's time for us to go home!"

Emperor Chongzhen had already seen a large number of enemy soldiers, discovered his father and daughter as two uninvited guests, and lost sight of Hong Chengchou, so he hurriedly flew towards this side.

If we don't leave now, although we are not afraid of the enemy, we will definitely be surrounded by them.

He knew that killing such ordinary soldiers was useless.

The Chinese people in this big world have such a large population.

No matter how many ordinary soldiers are lost, as long as there are enough training resources, the lost number of soldiers can be easily replenished.

Emperor Chongzhen has always disdained such senseless killing.

After all, these ordinary soldiers were once their own people.

He now knew very well that the main reason for the chaos in the world was those greedy aristocratic families and gentry.

If we want to truly solve the problem, we have to kill all these people and scare them away, only then can we eliminate the source of the disaster.

Just like Li Dingguo, wherever he captured, he would kill people without exception, completely eliminating those corrupt officials and unkind rich people, which made the places occupied by the Fuxing Army so stable.

Thinking of this, the hatred he had for Li Dingguo faded a lot again.

It’s nothing more than the winner being the king and the loser being the bandit.

"Okay, Father."

Zhu Mianzhu looked at the enemy soldiers rushing towards them frantically, curled her lips in disdain, and said to Chongzhen, "Let's leave quickly, so as to avoid a meaningless killing, which is meaningless."

"Xiaohong, come down quickly!"

After saying this, she shouted towards the big red bird circling above her head, waved at it, and asked it to come down to take her and her father home.

"Chirp..."

The big red bird was a level six spirit bird, so it naturally had excellent eyesight. It clearly saw the little master calling it, and it flapped its huge wings and swooped down quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was hovering in front of the two of them.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Upon seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen and Zhu Mianzhu jumped up and stood on the back of the big red bird at the same time.

"Chirp..."

The red bird let out a hissing cry, and a spiritual shield appeared on its body, covering itself and the two people on its back. Then it soared into the sky and reached a height of thousands of feet in an instant.

It circled half a circle, then identified the direction of home, turned into a stream of red light, and disappeared into the horizon in a moment!
"The Grand Commander is missing!"

"This... the Grand Commander wouldn't be attacked and killed by those two people just now, right?"

"It's over! Without Governor Hong, how can we survive the coming catastrophe of the universe and myriad races?"

"Who on earth is this person? How could he get rid of the Grand Commander so quickly?"...

The tens of thousands of soldiers who had just arrived here were stunned when they saw the mysterious enemy disappear in an instant!
After a moment, they came to their senses and exclaimed in surprise, causing an uproar!

"Where's the Grand Commander?"

"Has any of you seen him?"

Uncle Fu and Hong Yuanfeng, who arrived here shortly afterwards, were suddenly informed of this horrible disaster. They looked at each other for a while, then with pale faces they asked the soldiers on the scene one after another.

As a result, after confirming that Hong Chengchou was missing, he was immediately stunned.

Their force, like Li Dingguo's Fuxing Army, was founded and rapidly developed by Hong Chengchou alone.

It can be said that Hong Chengchou was the only backbone.

Once Hong Chengchou was confirmed dead or missing, the party would inevitably fall apart quickly.

Even Hong Yuanfeng had self-awareness and knew that he was not fit to be a local overlord.

Without Hong Chengchou's strategic planning and foresight, their force would most likely be unable to withstand the next attacks from demons and monsters!
Both of them are now very clear that their new great force is completely finished and has no future.
