Chapter 225: The saviour of Thunder State

After several hours of riots, the citizens of Thunder State City were now forming long lines, as they brought their possessions and family members to lead a new life of wandering.

Of course, for the residents of a large city like Thunder State City, they couldn’t really run. The people who were leaving were merchants or cultivators, either those that had money or power, being able to make a living if they left Thunder State City.

The lower rank of Thunder State City did not leave because their livelihoods were in Thunder State City. How could they make a living if they left Thunder State City?

If they left Thunder State City, they would be trees without roots.

If they left Thunder State City, they would find it hard to keep their lives.

If they left Thunder State City, they would wander around in destitution.

The three hundred year old Thunder State City did not lose to Central State City. It was full of people just a few days ago and was very prosperous, not disgracing its name as a Main City. This kind of heavily populated city had become this abandoned?

God bless Thunder State!

God bless Thunder State!

Countless white haired old folk carrying children were kneeling in the streets, praying for Thunder State City. Even if they knew that it was impossible, they still all prayed for a miracle.

The Golden Arrow Marquis sat dejectedly in the mayor’s palace.

The entire city was filled with the cries of the elderly and weak women, filling him with deep remorse. Thunder State was falling into disorder in front of him, but he could not save it. He really was the guardian of Thunder State.

This situation had far exceeded the Calm Martial Ruler’s estimates.

Even if the three Rulers left now, it would be too late!

Was Thunder State City really about to be destroyed?

“Marquis!” A general clad in armour walked in and magnanimously said, “Thunder State’s three defense battalions have been gathered, willing to die in battle. Please give your orders!”

The Golden Arrow Marquis was a little surprised, “Weren’t the troops dispersed?”

“Thunder State is the soul of the military, head of all eight states!” The general shouted, “In times of danger, we soldiers should rush into danger, how could we run away? This is what the Marquis has taught us! We are willing to die to protect Thunder State City. We will die with Thunder State City, dying with the citizens!”

“Good! Good! Good!” The Golden Arrow Marquis gave an amazed sigh, “For me, Jiang Xiong, to have this kind of army, my years in Central State have not been wasted! This Marquis will defend Thunder State City with you, waiting for the Imperial City’s rescue!”

The Golden Arrow Marquis made his decision.

Thunder State City could not be lost. If the Abyss Demon attacked Thunder State City, he would personally defend it!

The Western Marquis and the Divine Wind Marquis walked in with ugly expressions, “A group of cavalry just came back, but there were no signs of Shangguan Feichen, Jiang Shan, or Chu Tian.”

The Golden Arrow Marquis’ heart sank.

If they were still not back, did they encounter some kind of trouble?

The Western Marquis Shangguan Hong said, “Golden Arrow Marquis, I want you to sent the Thunder State army to search. You have to find him for me!”

Search?

What search!

“White Jade City is surrounded by Demon Soldiers, once the soldiers come close, it is equivalent to being sent to death. That demon has awakened and the strongest Storm Colts cannot approach because they can’t resist the demon’s aura. I’m afraid normal mounts will not be able to approach at all.”

The Western Marquis flew into a rage, “Golden Arrow Marquis! You’re dismantling the bridge before crossing it! We came to save Central State and now my son’s in an unknown situation, what does your hesitation mean!”

“I ask you to be careful of your words! The Western Marquis’ son has a life, then does the life of the thousands of soldiers not count?”

“Normal soldiers’ lives are cheap! What does it matter if they die? At worst, Southern State can compensate you!”

“Enough! My son is also missing!”

The Golden Arrow Marquis looked aggrieved and Shangguan Hong was filled with anger, the two of them looked like they were about to clash.

The Divine Wind Marquis gave a sigh and prepared to stop them.

“Marquis! Marquis! Good news!” A guard quickly ran in, “Marquis, marquis! The successors have come back!”

“How many are back?” The Divine Wind Marquis quickly asked, “What about the others?”

“No need to worry Divine Wind Marquis. The Central State geniuses are back, they’re all fine!”

The three Marquises gave sighs of relief.

Chu Tian and Jiang Shan rode their horses into Thunder State City. There were only five hundred soldiers that returned from the three thousand sent, one could imagine what fate the others suffered.

Meng Yingying excitedly ran over, “Chu Tian, Chu Tian, I knew you would be fine!”

Chu Tian gave Meng Yingying a faint smile, “I’m sorry, I made you worry!”

“Che, who was worried about you!” Meng Yingying shook her head, “There is nothing in this world that can subdue you! What does a trivial demon count for!”

This girl really was simple minded!

But Meng Yingying was the person who understood Chu Tian best!

At this moment, the three Marquises quickly ran over.

“Feichen, what’s wrong?”

The Western Marquis’ heir was covered in injuries. He was tied to a horse and brought back, almost suffocating.

“Father, please avenge me!” Shangguan Feichen opened his eyes to see his father, whose heroic face was black and body was scorched, but he immediately shouted, “Chu Tian wanted to desert and I wanted to catch him to punish him, but he plotted against me!”

“Daring to hurt my son, I want your life!”

The Western Marquis’ killing intent spilled out like a landslide and the long pen stabbed at Chu Tian. The Divine Wind Marquis quickly came over to block it, grabbing the Western Marquis’ pen.

The entire area fell silent.

These people coming back safely was a happy matter.

Now the Western Marquis wanted to personally take Chu Tian’s life?

“Feng Yuntian! You dare to block me!” Shangguan Hong angrily shouted with red eyes, “This marquis’ son is priceless and he has been heavily injured, even you cannot protect him today!”

That’s right!

Shangguan Hong must kill Chu Tian!

The Southern Summer Eight Marquises’ killing intent was strong and everyone couldn’t help shrinking back.

“Desert? What a joke!” Chu Tian laughed and said, “Are you talking about yourself? You ran when you couldn’t beat the enemy! You abandoned several thousand soldiers without any hesitation! What Southern Summer Eight Marquis, even I feel ashamed for you!”

The Golden Arrow Marquis and The Divine Wind Marquis revealed embarrassed expressions. This brat really was not polite at all!

Shangguan Hong’s eyes turned red, “You dare to argue!”

When the situation turned bad, the three Marquises all ran. The others all lost themselves, after all, who would wait to be killed? So saying that the Western Marquis’s successor arrested Chu Tian on the account of deserting was not a stable charge at all.

Jiang Shan came forward and said, “Sir Western Marquis, I can prove that it was your successor who attack first.”

“I don’t care who attacked first! Daring to hurt this Marquis’ son means death!”

“Western Marquis, calm your anger. The injuries on your son’s body do not seemed to be caused by Chu Tian’s sword.” The Golden Arrow Marquis was very unsatisfied with someone who ignored human lives like the Western Marquis. He asked Chu Tian with a serious face, “What happened here?”

“What happened? Take a look for yourself!”

Chu Tian took out the gourd and patted the side. The Hell Fire Demon’s body was thrown onto the street, instantly occupying the entire street.

Meng Yingying’s mouth went wide with shock, “What is this thing!”

The Hell Fire Demon had been killed, but the dark green jade like body and that strong abyss aura could not be imitated. The three Marquises had fought against the demon, so they could immediately tell that this was the Hell Fire Demon’s corpse.

The three Marquises were shocked.

The Divine Wind Marquis revealed a look of wild joy, “That monster formed from the demon rock, you killed it!”

This remark!

The surrounding citizens all trembled.

This was the main cause of the grief over Thunder State?

Faced with the expectant and anxious looks, Chu Tian nodded without and hesitation and declared, “The Abyss Demon is dead! Thunder State’s danger is over!”

The area turned silent!

How did this even happen?

The three Marquises could not beat the demon, so why was it strangely defeated? This news was like a sudden shock and no one could react to it.

“Are you all deaf?!” Meng Yingying excitedly clenched her fists. She knew that Chu Tian would be able to do this, there was nothing he couldn’t solve in this world. She immediately called out for Chu Tian, “The evil demon has been defeated by Central State’s Chu Tian! From now on, Thunder State is safe! You are all safe! Everyone can go home now!”

After saying this.

Meng Yingying’s eyes turned red because she had seen the riot in Thunder State City, which had greatly affected her.

Meng Yingying realized everyone’s pain and helplessness!

Now it was all fine!

It was fine, there was no need to be afraid. The children could go home and no one would be forced from their homes!

The Thunder State citizens were silent for a long time. Wasn’t this the miracle they had been praying for? When the miracle appeared in front of them, they could not believe it!

Was this true?

Was this really the truth!

The Golden Arrow Marquis blankly stared at the Hell Fire Demon’s dark green corpse and was stunned for a while. Then he walked in front of Chu Tian and gave a deep bow to him, “You are the saviour of Thunder State! This Marquis is representing the millions of people of Thunder State in thanking you!”

Everyone broke out in cheers.

The Golden Arrow Marquis had confirmed it!

historical

“Long live! Long live!”

“Long live Chu Tian! Long live Thunder State!”

“The Thunder State hero has saved out Thunder State!”

“......”

Countless citizens couldn’t help choking up with tears.

“Saviour has saved our family, please let me thank you!”

A tall, strong man kneeled down in front of Chu Tian. With him taking the lead, everyone began to follow him as several thousand people bowed down before the people of Central State.

Nangong Yun, Yun Yao, Chen Bingyu, Feng Caidie, as well as Yingying were deeply shocked when they saw this scene.

This was not easy at all!

When Chu Xinghe was in his prime, wherever he went, everyone kneeled to him. However, those people kneeled because of his terrifying strength and were forced to kneel to him. A scene like this rarely appeared in the Southern Summer Eight States where an entire city knelt in front of someone to thank them.

Their moods swelled. They were feeling emotions of happiness, excitement.....and most of all, pride!

If they had followed their own paths, they never would have had this kind of thing happen to them.

They were basking in Chu Tian’s light, feeling honoured to be a participant. With this kind of beautiful life, what was there to regret?!

Nangong Yun seized this chance to shout, “Chu Tian has solved this large problem for Thunder State, but this pair of malicious father and son continues to provoke Chu Tian. What should we do!”

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

“Whoever dares to harm a single harm on our benefactor will become the enemy of our Thunder State!”

Everyone indignantly shouted out, creating a giant roar.

“Shangguan Hong, scram out of Thunder State!”

“Scram out of Thunder State!”

“Scram out of Thunder State!”

Countless people wildly shouted.

Shangguan Hong was one of the Southern Summer Eight Marquises. The Southern Summer Eight Marquises were akin to Spiritual Gods to the normal people. The current scene was unprecedented in the Southern Summer Country!

The Golden Arrow Marquis also stood up, “I think this matter is very clear. Chu Tian thought of a method to kill the demon and the Western Marquis’ successor chased him down, but was heavily injured instead. I think this matter is purely the Western Marquis’ successor’s fault. Chu Tian not killing him is already giving the Western Marquis face! If the Western Marquis still wants to attack Chu Tian, you will have to pass through this Jiang!”

“You......”

Faced with such a scene, the Western Marquis almost broke his teeth from clenching them, but he could do nothing. He could not go all out to attack Chu Tian because he could not stop the Golden Arrow Marquis and the Divine Wind Marquis. He could only let this matter go!

The countless citizens continued to cheer. Thunder State’s troubles were finally over!
