I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 522 - : 522. Quickly dispel confusion

Chapter 522: 522. Quickly dispel confusion

The great victory at sea, the good news reached back first thing.

Nobody expected such a brilliant triumph, the whole nation was astounded!

The day’s newspaper sales went up by fourfold, even the hard laborers at the docks went to the teahouses to listen to the outcome.

No wonder people reacted so strongly, given that the original Shun Dynasty had never won a battle and instead had been saddled with a stack of unequal treaties.

The Great Yi Dynasty actually won the first battle, wiping out an entire fleet of Izumo! It was simply unbelievable!

And those with insight understood that this inaugural victory was not only a great morale booster but also of immense strategic importance.

...

With control of the seas, the frontline could be supplied by sea, which was extremely convenient.

In battle, when facing tough nuts that could not be cracked, one need only report the coordinates for the fleet to “cleanse the area”, and even troops could be directly deployed behind enemy lines via the sea route.

As such, embarking on the campaign to Goryeo could be said to be half-won already!

The following day, the Zhenhai Fleet arrived at Jinmen Port, dragging the “Yamato” along to “present prisoners of war”.

At once, emotions surged among the crowd, and the people rushed to the port. Seeing the captured colossal warship with their own eyes, they were all elated.

“What a huge ironclad ship! Tsk, a single turret is bigger than my whole yard.”

“This ‘Yamato’, captured on its first mission, is truly gratifying!”

“The Great Yi Dynasty is really different, throwing punches directly at those little Izumo bastards!”

Because of the influence of Lu Yao, the history of Otherworld had diverged, and Izumo hadn’t had the chance to commit any atrocities, so the hatred had not reached its peak.

Most people were simply there for the excitement.

But Lu Yao thought this was fine, as some things didn’t necessarily have to be experienced again; otherwise, what would be the point of all his efforts?

At this moment, he was floating midair, looking at the captured Yamato with some curiosity, “The technology tree of Otherworld is really peculiar…”

Then he nodded in praise, “But these folks of the Zhenhai Fleet did a good job!”

Lu Yao hadn’t ridden the Spiritual Sparrowhawk, and as the sea breeze brushed by, his form appeared somewhat ethereal.

It turned out his true body was in Jing Yi Garden, and at this time, his divine soul was at Jinmen Port.

Without using any vessel, relying entirely on the strength of his divine soul, he had left his body for 200 kilometers.

Previously, without relying on a pre-arranged Mind Resonance Item, Lu Yao’s divine soul could at most stray 50 kilometers from his body before feeling weak and powerless, and he’d have to quickly return.

This great improvement was thanks to the nourishment his divine soul received after reaching the Flesh Realm following the Marrow-Cleansing Realm.

If a normal person feels spirited with a robust body, a martial artist with flesh pushed to the extreme would naturally benefit his divine soul immensely.

In the month and a half since breaking through to the leakproof realm, Lu Yao had grown 10 centimeters taller. His Qi and blood were increasingly vibrant, and when his True Qi surged, it was like a river.

Stimulated by this, his soul strength soared as well, and with daily diligent cultivation, he finally achieved what he had now.

“But this is just the beginning, I can’t slack off.”

According to the scriptures, the minimum requirement for Crossing Thunder Tribulation was—a divine soul straying 1000 kilometers from the body!

Only by achieving this could one be considered to have entered the minor realm of “Soaring.”

Next was “Lightning Hearing”, letting the divine soul get accustomed to the sound of thunder in advance, preparing for the Heavenly Tribulation.

Yet the step involving Heavenly Tribulation was extremely dangerous; one misstep could lead to the soul being scattered.

Thus, it requires extreme caution, listening to the sound of thunder over countless years, tempering the divine soul, and preparing as thoroughly as possible.

When the soul’s strength was sufficient, one would then fly into the clouds to undergo “Heaven’s thunderous strikes”.

This journey was fraught with danger and complexity, but backed by two worlds, Lu Yao had a bold idea—

Before facing heaven’s thunder, to go back to Blue Star and find a nuclear power plant to refine himself with the electricity of the mortal world!

By doing so, the success rate would surely surge!

~~~~~~~~~

With a multitude of thoughts, Lu Yao left the jubilant crowd and, with a flicker of his mind, returned to his home.

By this time, five days had already passed since Yu Yanmei and the second young lady set off with the military.

The Zhenhai Fleet had achieved a major victory, but there had been no news from the “Imperial Fist,” so Lu Yao was still somewhat worried.

Therefore, using the Mind Resonance Item, he contacted the two women to see how things were going.

The first to respond was the second young lady, who exclaimed with joy, “Uncle Master!”

At that moment, she was over a thousand kilometers away in the north, and the signal for the soul communication was beginning to suffer from interference and exhaustion. However, anyone could easily hear the joy in her voice.

Lu Yao said with a smile, “This is your first time so far from home; how does it feel?”

“Uncle Master, it’s my first time in the northern country. It’s very different from the Central Plains, all covered in ice and snow—it’s incredibly beautiful.”

“By the way, I’m currently in Ice City. Some people here have defected to Izumo, trying to split the borderlands and establish some kind of co-prosperity sphere. The ringleaders have already been captured.”

“After we deal with things here, we’ll cross the river into Goryeo, capture Changjin Province, and then take Pyongyang.”

…

The second young lady prattled on ceaselessly, and Lu Yao listened carefully with a smile on his face.

But to save on consumption, he didn’t activate the video feature and couldn’t see the situation the young girl was in.

~~~~~~~~

At Ice City beyond the borders, the open space in front of the Prefectural Yamen.

This place had always been an execution ground, used for who knows how many years, its soil stained brown.

Today, the area was surrounded three layers deep with people gathered to witness the largest collective execution in history.

A group of military soldiers shaped like human tanks made over a thousand individuals kneel on the ground.

Then, they loudly announced the crimes of these people around them; they were accused of treason and rebellion, serious crimes indeed.

Most of the prisoners had queue hairstyles and were trembling, unable to speak.

The onlookers had various expressions; after a few recognized the accused, they remarked,

“The leaders are descendants of the Jurchen of the Jin Dynasty. They colluded with the Izumo People, trying to restore their country, but they never expected the Heavenly Soldiers to come so quickly, and to fall into the hands of the Asura Fairy, now their lives are over.”

“The Prefectural Governor even pleaded for mercy, saying ‘the crime does not warrant such punishment,’ and criticized the fairy for being too cruel. Guess what happened next? He ended up on the execution ground too! He is the second-to-last one.”

“I heard about this too… It’s just like the Asura Fairy.”

A few idlers exchanged the news they had heard, discussing it with relish, until someone shouted, “It’s starting, it’s starting!”

The military soldiers had finished reading the charges and were about to carry out the execution.

A man dressed in the robes of a Prefectural Governor cried out, “I am an official appointed by the Imperial Court! I want to see His Majesty; I want to see the True Lord…”

But no matter how much he pleaded, it was futile. Imperial Fist soldiers were not merciful and raised their .50 caliber machine guns to execute all the prisoners.

The crowd cheered and shouted their approval, while the second young lady was on the execution ground, talking to her Uncle Master with a blossoming smile.

By her side stood the couple Na Wei and Tong Jia.

Thanks to this couple’s intelligence, the ringleaders were apprehended so quickly.

At that moment, the couple looked at the second young lady, never expecting such a beautiful girl to be so ruthless and decisive.

Without a second word, everyone involved in the matter was executed!

Those who had wanted to “establish a nation” had been utterly eradicated within a few days, and the few who still harbored thoughts had fallen silent, desperately donating money and supplies to the military to show their loyalty.

Na Wei whispered to his wife, “Swift justice isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Keeping these people alive would only lead to trouble sooner or later.”

Tong Jia nodded, watching the “phone-calling” second young lady with a complex expression.

At that moment, an agile personal guard of Division Commander Dong Fuxiang came rushing over and respectfully said to the second young lady,

“Fairy, the military has an order—an urgent assembly.”
