Chapter 552: Chapter 393: The Emperor's Enlightenment, The Elusive Mountain Lord

The Celestial Court deployed its troops grandiosely, and generals were dispatched, but no matter how swiftly, it still took time.

A day had passed in the Celestial Court, but a year had gone by on the ground.

In the span of a year on earth, far too many things had happened.

War blazed across the Mortal Realm.

Yu Dynasty Emperor Xu Qi led a mighty army, conquered the Tiger's Rest Pass with overwhelming force, and with the vigor of shattering dry woods and pulling out rotten weeds, breached the Capital City.

The Wu Dynasty Emperor had no escape, cornered within the Imperial Palace.

Xu Qi was fiercely leading his troops in a violent assault on the Wu Dynasty's Imperial Palace.

It was fortunate that Wu Dynasty's Great Ancestor Huang Xu had constructed the Imperial Palace sturdily enough; otherwise, it would have been overrun by Xu Qi long ago.

Still, the inevitable breach of the Wu Dynasty's Imperial Palace was only a matter of time.
