Protect Our Chief

Chapter 1033 - 63: Autumn Winds Rise! The Great Emperor Misses Wang Shouzhe

...Even though it’s just a half piece, and it’s quite tattered and unbearable to look at, it’s still a Dao Artifact~~!

You should know that nurturing a legion banner isn’t easy. It’s different from a Divine Power Spirit Treasure; the most important thing is not the material itself, but the military soul nurtured within. And the military soul can only gradually become powerful in war, accumulating quantitatively until it changes qualitatively.

A strong military soul significantly enhances the combat power of an army.

Since the founding of Daqian, it has been emulating the Divine Martial Dynasty’s way of nurturing military flags to cultivate its legion banners. After several thousand years, it has barely managed to cultivate only three legion banners with formed military souls.

Among them, the most powerful legion banner is the Azure Dragon Army’s legion banner, called "Azure Dragon," which is currently stationed on the Outer Domain Battlefield. In terms of power, the Azure Dragon is roughly equivalent to a rather formidable Divine Power Spirit Treasure.

As for the other two, they have barely stepped into the level of Divine Power Spirit Treasure, approximately equivalent to Divine Power Spirit Treasures with Blank Artifact Spirits.

But even combined, those three can’t match this half a Dao Artifact level legion banner!

What did he just do?

Did he actually give away half a Dao Artifact?

Emperor Longchang clutched his bleeding heart, his face pale, his entire body on the verge of collapse.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please hold on." Old Yao hurriedly and tensely supported Emperor Longchang, "Calm down first, let’s discuss this matter at length, at length, don’t rush, don’t rush."

"Uh... haha, the tolerance is a bit weak, I only just exerted my strength, and then..." The Seventh Sister of the Legion Banner looked at Emperor Longchang’s appearance and felt that she might have gone a bit too far in provoking him.

Forget it, forget it~ Better to let it go when possible. It’s not fun if you really anger someone to death.

She chuckled awkwardly, then retracted her momentum, transforming back into a plain black cloth that fell into Wang Anye’s hand, neatly folding itself flat, as if the arrogant flag just now wasn’t her at all.

Wang Anye held that black cloth, feeling a wave of speechlessness.

Though he knew that a Black Cloth Sister capable of speaking, transmitting sound, and being so experienced was certainly not simple, he never imagined that it was the former legion banner of Ancestor Chuanwu, and still a Dao Artifact!

The Imperial Family hid the Azure Dragon Sword so thoroughly, not even allowing a glimpse. It stands to reason that a Dao Artifact must be extremely rare and precious beyond compare.

After quite a while, Emperor Longchang gradually recovered from the state of "losing a Dao Artifact" and a bleeding heart, regaining a bit of Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

He scrutinized Wang Anye up and down with an unusual gaze: "You brat, were you born just to vex Us? The Divine Weapon Hall is a place We’ve visited countless times. That blot, no, Seventh Sister, We’ve also seen it many times, yet never discovered anything special about her. We just can’t understand why she agreed to go with you?"

"In response to Your Majesty." After pondering for a while, Wang Anye answered, "Probably because I’m a descendant of Ancestor Chuanwu, the Legion Commander of the Seventh Legion."

Ancestor Chuanwu my foot!

Emperor Longchang internally retorted furiously.

I’ve been contending with Duke Dingguo’s Mansion for thousands of years, and I’ve never heard of a Wang Family ancestor named "Wang Chuanwu," a Legion Commander of the Divine Martial Army. If there truly were such a person, with the shameless style of the Old Wang Family, they would have long advertised it so that the whole world knew, rather than keeping it a secret till now? Nonsense.

Not just Duke Dingguo’s Mansion, but even the Wang Family of the Cold Moon Immortal Dynasty hasn’t heard of such an ancestor.

"Anye, don’t belittle yourself. It’s actually pretty boring in the Divine Weapon Hall, getting tedious after staying for long. Previously, Sister couldn’t accept the reality of the Divine Martial Dynasty’s demise, using work to numb herself, but now... anyway, Sister just wanted to go out for a walk." Said the Seventh Sister of the Legion Banner, "I had tested you before; you are a child with a clean and pure heart, with care and gentleness, who knows how to organize and tidy up. It just happens that you are a descendant of Old Wang, which only strengthened my resolve to go with you."

"It’s all fate~~ Surely Old Wang guided you to me in the nether, to save me, a legion banner sinking into darkness, letting Sister regain the courage to face the world."

"Seventh Sister, don’t be sad anymore." Listening to the sense of helplessness and the trace of sorrow in the tone of the Artifact Spirit of the Legion Banner, Wang Anye couldn’t help but recall the Sister Artifact Spirit at the recruit training camp.

He had the most interactions with Sister Artifact Spirit, understanding her the best.

Though Sister Artifact Spirit never mentioned it, he always suspected that she had long guessed the Divine Martial Dynasty had perished, just unwilling to accept the truth, continuing to deceive herself. Not having the heart to burst Sister Artifact Spirit’s bubble, he cooperated in the farce.

These Artifact Spirits from the Divine Martial Dynasty era must have been devastated upon learning of the dynasty’s fall. After all, it was their obsession, their pride.

He looked with some reluctance at the black legion banner in his hand, comforting earnestly, "Sister, even though the Divine Martial Dynasty is indeed no longer, the bloodline of the dynasty remains, and so do you. As long as we are here, everyone will always remember the Divine Martial Dynasty, and the dynasty will not be truly gone."

"Anye, I didn’t mistake you, you are a good child indeed." The Seventh Sister of the Legion Banner had evidently let go, smiling and saying, "To think, I, an Artifact Spirit living for hundreds of thousands of years, am not as open-minded as you, a little kid."
