Chapter 1324 The Wrath of the Divine Phoenix: Purifying the Entire City
The phoenix cried out to the heavens, its sound waves transforming into golden ripples that instantly swept across the entire central square.
The voice contained no murderous intent, but rather an absolute majesty originating from a higher level of life, a divine final judgment upon the blasphemer.
In the square, hundreds of thousands of people trembled in their souls at the sound of the phoenix's cry.
They knelt down in unison, their bodies trembling violently with extreme awe, their eyes fixed on the platform with nothing but the purest and most fervent worship.
They didn't know what had happened, but they witnessed a miracle.
Their goddess has been angered.
Those assassins who had just launched a fatal attack, hidden among the crowd, were struck as if by lightning by the sound of the phoenix's cry!
They were not intimidated by the sound, but their souls were directly stripped from their bodies and crushed by that supreme divine pressure!
"what--!"
A series of shrill, inhuman screams rang out simultaneously from every corner of the crowd.
The dozen or so assassins disguised as merchants remained standing, their expressions frozen in terror and horror.
But their eyes lost all their luster at a visible speed, becoming dull and empty, like two lifeless fish eyes.
Their souls were completely annihilated by that phoenix cry.
What remains are nothing but soulless, walking corpses.
"Puff... puff..."
Each body, like a puppet with its strings pulled, fell straight backward with a dull thud.
The entire process was bloodless.
It was more chilling than any bloody massacre.
However, this is just the beginning.
The golden phoenix hovering above the high platform seemed still furious after judging those ants who dared to offend their master.
Its cold, golden phoenix eyes slowly swept over the sea of people kneeling on the ground below.
That gaze seemed to pierce through everyone's skin and flesh, looking directly into the depths of their souls, revealing the good and evil within.
It was as if they were searching for those filthy insects hiding in the shadows, equally treacherous and sinister.
Finally, its gaze settled on the edge of the square, on the most magnificent viewing platforms.
Sitting there were the old nobles and slave owners who harbored resentment towards Murong Yan because of her "abolition of slavery decree".
At this moment, their faces were ashen, and their bodies trembled violently.
They looked at the golden phoenix, as dazzling as the sun, its eyes, filled with holiness and majesty, staring intently at them.
A tremendous fear from the depths of their souls instantly and completely engulfed them!
Finished!
It was discovered!
Their most venomous curses and filthiest thoughts were laid bare under that gaze!
They wanted to escape, they wanted to run away.
But to their despair, they discovered that their bodies were completely immobilized under that godlike pressure!
They could only watch helplessly as the enormous golden phoenix slowly opened its massive golden beak, powerful enough to devour everything.
call--!
The next second, a golden aura filled with "holiness" and "purification" gushed out from its mouth!
The golden flames were like a sacred baptism from heaven.
It swept across the entire square, passing through countless devout believers kneeling on the ground.
But it did not harm them in the slightest.
They only felt a warm current filled with "holiness" and "compassion" sweep through their bodies.
A poor man who had once stolen wept bitterly in the warm current, vowing never to do it again.
A merchant who was used to cheating felt his soul being burned, and the burning shame made him want to slap himself a few times.
The violence, greed, and evil thoughts that lingered in the hearts of countless people were cleansed in this sacred warm current, leaving only the purest gratitude and faith in the goddess.
And when the golden flames swept to the edge of the square, onto those magnificent viewing platforms...
But in an instant, it unleashed a destructive power capable of incinerating everything!
"Ah—! No—!"
Desperate and unwilling screams came from those viewing platforms, but then stopped abruptly!
Those old nobles and slave owners who were once high and mighty and regarded human life as worthless could not even struggle in the golden flames.
Their bodies and their sinful souls were burned, evaporated, and utterly reduced to nothingness!
The golden flames came quickly and went quickly.
As the last scream faded, the entire square fell silent once more.
Those magnificent viewing platforms have vanished without a trace, not even a speck of ash, as if they had never existed.
After the deathly silence came a frenzy like a landslide and a tsunami!
After experiencing this divine punishment-like baptism, hundreds of thousands of people felt no fear, but rather as if they had been infused with divine power!
Their faces were filled with unprecedented fervor and worship!
They gazed at the stunningly beautiful woman on the high platform, gently surrounded by a golden phoenix, their eyes filled with nothing but the most fervent faith!
"Goddess! The goddess has descended!"
"The goddess has appeared! She has purified the evil of this city!"
"Praise be to the goddess! The great goddess of the East!"
The frenzied shouts resounded through the sky!
They knew that from this moment on, they were no longer lowly slaves to be bullied by others.
They are the children of the goddess!
They are believers who are blessed by God!
Anyone who dares to offend them will face the goddess's most severe divine punishment!
On the high platform, Murong Yan looked down at the sea of fervent worshippers below, and for the first time, a complex and helpless expression appeared on her usually cool and aloof face.
She reached out and gently stroked the golden phoenix that was affectionately rubbing against her with its energy head.
This touch felt like it was comforting my unborn child, who had already displayed divine power.
She knew that this irrational and terrifying force did not originate from herself.
It came from her womb, from the little life that inherited her and her husband's bloodline.
She could feel the little one moving happily inside her, as if it were proud of its "feat" just now.
She turned her head and glanced at the man who had been standing quietly behind her the whole time, with a smug and proud smile on his face.
A hint of reproach and helplessness flashed in her beautiful phoenix eyes.
This devilish husband must have done something to her divine phoenix descending to earth dress that she doesn't know about.
However, just as she was planning how to "interrogate" this surprise-maker when she got back, a series of hurried footsteps came from below the platform.
Elizabeth rushed up the platform in a horrified expression, without even having time to bow.
Her face, which was always full of wildness and madness, was now only solemn!
"Your Highness! Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened!"
"We have intercepted encrypted communications from the Nihilistic Party's supreme command!"
"That girl from the Rothschild family has deciphered part of the information in the 'Fragments of Civilization'!"
Elizabeth's voice was broken by shock.
"Information indicates that... the East India Company's true headquarters is not here at all!"
She took a deep breath and uttered a place name that made everyone present's pupils shrink.
"It's in a strategic location... a hundred times more important than here!"
