Comprehension Ability: Creating and teaching the Dao in various worlds

Chapter 1351: Chapter 27: Eighty Years Later

“The rebel army has invaded!”

“Run for your lives!”

“Why run? I’ve heard that wherever the righteous army passes, order is maintained. As long as we don’t resist, we’ll be fine.”

The mysterious death of the Da Feng emperor could not be concealed in the end.

In an instant, the capital’s defense forces were in chaos. No matter how loyal they were to the Da Feng dynasty, they needed hope to see a future.

Now the emperor is dead, and at such a critical time—

Most of the defending soldiers even began to think that Da Feng’s mandate of heaven had been forfeited.

Moreover, Lin Yuan took the opportunity to make a move within the capital, entangling most of the Entering Dao Masters, while the army outside the capital launched a sudden attack.

This capital city, painstakingly managed by the Da Feng dynasty for seven or eight hundred years, collapsed resoundingly.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

One by one, Entering Dao masters were the first to enter the city.

As practitioners of the Dao, their individual strength was formidable. By entering the city first, they could often take control of the situation in the shortest time possible.

As for the Entering Dao Masters? They waited outside the capital, ready to provide support at any moment.

Even with Lin Yuan’s cultivation, over seventy years, less than two hundred Entering Dao Masters had been trained, and some of them had to suppress the already conquered states.

The Entering Dao Masters are the foundation and certainly cannot enter the capital lightly.

Even if the city gates were breached, who knows if there were contingencies in place that could kill the masters.

No matter how strong the Entering Dao Masters are, they are essentially mortal; an arm severed would be a severe injury, and a shattered heart or head would lead to sure death.

No matter how powerful the Spiritual Power, without the support of a physical body, it would quickly dissipate like smoke.

Outside the royal palace.

A large group of armored generals was full of excitement as they gazed at the splendid palace and pavilions not far away.

The experiences on this journey now seemed like a dream.

Too smooth.

So smooth that it was almost unbelievable.

Since ancient times, overthrowing a dynasty has required an unknown amount of sacrifice.

Surely, wave after wave of rebels had to die, exhausting the last strength of the dynasty to make it possible.

Not to mention a dynasty like the Da Feng dynasty, which was at its peak, a dynasty like this almost has no possibility of demise as long as the emperor doesn’t act recklessly.

With Da Feng dynasty’s control over the states,

there was simply no room for rebellion.

Even a third-rate force like the Red Lotus Sect, which only had ordinary Dao practitioners,

was swiftly annihilated by the Tao Suppression Department’s strategic setup, let alone other slightly noticeable rebel forces.

There was no space for survival at all.

Yet since their ’uprising,’ they had been going smoothly without encountering any substantial resistance.

In a blink, they were at the capital.

Originally, they thought breaching the capital would be a tough battle.

After all, realizing they couldn’t hold off, the Da Feng dynasty had gathered all its forces back to the capital as much as possible.

Combined with the capital’s original foundation,

it was considered one of the strongest forces under heaven.

But just at this time,

news of the Da Feng emperor’s death came.

And at the critical moment, the Entering Dao Masters defending the city were all restrained and suppressed.

The external army needed just one charge to break in.

“We’ve overthrown Da Feng?”

One of the rough-built generals murmured to himself.

“Not us.”

A middle-aged scholar glanced at the general, shook his head, and said, “It was the Lord.”

“It was the Lord who overthrew the Da Feng Dynasty, and we are merely following him.”

The middle-aged scholar added.

Upon saying this,

the many other generals uncharacteristically had no objections.

Anyone able to occupy their position naturally had good judgment.

Since the army’s rebellion, it had been smooth sailing, encountering no real resistance.

Who did they rely on?

Wasn’t it the Lord’s strategy behind the scenes?

Without the Lord, let alone reaching here,

they couldn’t have even left their respective major states.

At the founding of the Da Feng dynasty, for local armies like theirs,

there were heavy restrictions long in place.

An uprising in one state,

neighboring states would immediately dispatch troops to seal it off,

with the capital commanding the whole suppressed.

This practically cut off the possibility of a successful rebellion.

Unless Da Feng dynasty truly fell into its twilight, losing control over the states.

And this was evidently far from the case.

Moreover,

not long after they reached outside the capital,

they heard news of the emperor’s death.

If this wasn’t related to the Lord, who would believe it?

The Da Feng emperor didn’t die early or late,

but chose to die just when we were about to engage in the decisive battle?

…

One could say,

that in this ’uprising’ to overthrow the Da Feng dynasty,

the one who truly played a decisive role was the Lord.

With the Lord present, even if it wasn’t them, even a dog could have overthrown Da Feng.

Without the Lord,

even if their force was ten or a hundred times stronger, they couldn’t have so easily breached the capital.

“Where is the Lord now?”

Another general looked up and asked.

After breaking into the capital, they quickly took control of the city.

Then they waited outside the royal palace, waiting for the Lord to arrive.

Breaking into the capital was not the same as entering the royal palace.

Only the latter truly signified the overthrow of Da Feng dynasty’s rule.

And such achievements, they dared not assume lightly.

Honestly speaking, everyone felt they hadn’t contributed much in this ’uprising’ at all.

Not because they were incompetent, but there was simply no opportunity to prove themselves.

“Just wait.”

The middle-aged scholar glanced at the many generals and waited patiently.

No one dared to enter the royal palace without the Lord.

…

On a certain street,

Lin Yuan was deep in thought.

After killing the Da Feng emperor, Lin Yuan searched the palace again to ensure there was no second emperor hiding.

Then he went to the city wall to suppress the numerous Entering Dao Masters guarding it.
