Miracle Throne Chapter 213: Thunder State

Chapter 213: Thunder State
The five war ships had just been patched up.
“Chu Tian is back!” Meng Yingying was very excited as she noticed that Chu Tian was back. She immediately waved with her small hands, “Chu Tian, did you really go to the pirate’s nest? What is that place like? Is it fun!”
Everyone was speechless. This Meng Yingying was a person who knew no fear.
Chu Tian entering the nest of the Giant Shark Gang was a very dangerous matter.
Nangong Yun quickly asked, “What about your discussions?”
“I’m 90% confident.” Chu Tian revealed a mysterious smile and said to Yingying, “Just wait and see. Your canned food will be sold to half the Southern Summer Country, perhaps the entire country.”
The Divine Wind Marquis’ eyes flashed.
He knew what this meant!
This kid had only gone in for a while and had already came to a conclusion with the vicious pirates? If it really were like this, it was a good thing! Otherwise, the Divine Wind Marquis would not have tolerated them and would have definitely taken care of them.
“There is an urgent task, so it’s not convenient to slow down.” Chu Tian said to the Divine Wind Marquis, “The pirates won’t bother us anymore, let’s hurry to Thunder State.”
The Divine Wind Marquis nodded, “Let’s head out immediately!”
The five war ships began to move at once, flying over the calm waters, navigating across the vast lake.
Other than the Giant Shark Gang, they only ran into small troubles. There were a few attacks from water demon beasts, but they did not run into anything big.
On the dusk of the next day, the ships reached the Thunder State docks.
The reason why Thunder State was named Thunder State was because of its special environment. Thunder and rain frequently fell, and even meteorites sometimes dropped. Chu Tian guessed that the space above Thunder State was not stable and this was probably one of the reasons why the plane crack appeared.
“Everyone, disembark!”
The warship’s decks opened and the cavalry rode their horses onto land.
The strongest cavalry in Central State were all in the Body Refinement Realm. They rode level one top class demon beasts, the “Azure Storm Colts”. They each had a horn on their heads and an azure qilin’s body. Not only did they have explosive endurance, they could also use wind blades to attack enemies.
This was the standard cavalry mount for the Southern Summer Country. It could accelerate itself with the wind, reaching a speed of three hundred kilometers per hour with ease and a speed of four hundred kilometers per hour if it went all out.
At this high speed, a normal person would find it hard to breathe, let alone brandish a weapon to fight. So the recruitment standards of the Storm Cavalry were very strict. One had to be at least at the 7th Awakened Soul Layer and train a suitable spear martial art. Even if they were a thousand miles away, they could quickly charge into battle.
They were truly worthy of being known as a high mobility blade.
When the one thousand mounts came ashore, they lined up and charged out as fast as lightning.
Meng Yingying was also given a Storm Colt. She was high spirited as she sat on the horse’s back, pointing at a towering city with the horse whip. She excitedly called out, “Chu Tian, Chu Tian, I can see Thunder State’s main city!”
The Thunder State Main City was like the Central State Main City. It was constructed on the bank of the Four States Lake, making it easily accessible by boat.
Thunder State Main City was currently filled with a serious atmosphere. The city gates were tightly closed and full of soldiers. There were also many bumps on the ground in front of it, signifying a very fierce battle.
The pastures were already destroyed. The farmland, medicine fields, and fruit trees were all polluted by something, turning the crops yellow. It seemed like very serious damage was dealt.
The Central State people were shocked!
Even the Main City was affected by this?
The seriousness of this disaster was greater than they had expected!
When they arrived at Thunder State City, they saw holes in the ground everywhere and even dents in the wall. There were some soldiers wearing Southern Summer Country armour carrying corpses, piling them in a large hole outside the walls.
There were a total of six holes!
Each hole held around three or four thousand corpses, forming small but tall mountains.
Everyone was completely shocked. When had they ever seen such a terrifying image? Especially for pure people like Feng Caidie and Meng Yingying!
This was truly terrifying!
They had never seen people’s bodies be thrown away like trash before. Seeing this pile of corpses piled together, it seemed like a demonic picture being painted in front of them. With the sulfur smell in the air and the strong burning smell, their stomachs turned and they almost vomited on the spot.
Meng Yingying was completely shocked, “These…..These are the people who were injured?”
“It should be!”
Chu Tian looked at the corpses. He saw that each one was withered with hollowed eyes. They were burnt black like they had been affected by a kind of cultivation technique. The little fox excitedly stared at the corpse and forcefully sucked in, as if it could feel the dark attributed energy that it loved.
“When the Abyss Demon crossed through the plane crack, it should have brought a large amount of abyss aura with it. This abyss power should be polluting the people of the city, letting the Abyss Demon control them, turning them into demon soldiers controlled by the demon!”
Feng Caidie couldn’t hold it back, “Now that many people have been demonized in Thunder State, Chu Tian…..can you think of a way to save them? They are all innocent people who were turned this way by the disaster, it would be too cruel to kill them!”
“That’s right!” Meng Yingying quickly said to Chu Tian, “You’re so resourceful, you should be able to think of a method to help them!”
“You should understand that it is impossible to reverse a life form after it has been demonized. Even if there is a solution, we cannot accomplish it with the resources we currently have.” Chu Tian laughed bitterly, “Every demonized life form has their body changed, their spirit smashed apart, and their souls deeply polluted. In a sense, they have become demons…..For demonized life forms, it would be best to immediately exterminate them to help relieve them of their endless suffering.”
The Thunder State soldiers had already filled the holes with oil and they set fire to the thousands of corpses.
Meng Yingying and Feng Caidie silently watched the six fires burn for a while.
They could not believe this cruel scene in front of them.
“Don’t feel sad.” Chu Tian patted Yingying’s shoulder, “Didn’t we come to Thunder State to help them?”
Meng Yingying nodded.
She realized once again that strength was important!
“Divine Wind Marquis, you’re too slow!”
At this moment, the city gates opened and two middle aged men walked out. Their auras were very strong, not being inferior to the Divine Wind Marquis’. These two should also be Southern Summer Marquises.
One person was wearing golden armour and had black and rough skin, making him look like a general. He had a decisive temperament and a dragon shaped long bow on his back. His aura being released was as sharp as arrows.
Feng Caidie whispered, “This person should be the Golden Arrow Marquis!”
The other person was a middle aged person with graying hair. He seemed to be around fifty years old with a square face and a tall nose, making him look extraordinary. He was wearing a dark gold robe made of an unknown material and holding a black spear in his right hand. This should be the Western Marquis.
The Golden Arrow Marquis said, “Brother Feng, brother Shangguan, this Jiang thanks you for helping Thunder State. Please come this way!”
“What, the Western Marquis is surnamed Shangguan?”
“What bad luck!”
Chu Tian’s face sank and the others all felt helpless. They just hoped that the Western Marquis did not know about what happened in Central State!
Thunder State City should have been as lively as Central State City, but with this disaster, Thunder State City firmly closed its gates. The stores were closed and there were barely any people on the street. The streets only had soldiers patrolling.
The cavalry was stationed in the suburbs.
Meng Yingying led the mercenaries to bring in the canned food donated to the army.
The others all went to the Golden Arrow Marquis’ palace. There were already sixth youths waiting inside the palace. Out of the six youths, three were from Thunder State and three were from Southern State.
The Thunder State’s talents included, the Golden Arrow Marquis’ successor, Jiang Shan, Thunder State grand general’s son, Lian Pojun, and Thunder State large family successor, Lin Changge.
The Southern State talents included, the Western Marquis’ successor, Shangguan Zhenfei and the other two were called Wei Long and Wu Yang, who were from large Southern State families.
Jiang Shan and Shangguan Feichen were both at the 5th Awakened Soul Layer.
Lian Pojun, Lin Changge, Wei Long, and Wu Yang were all at the peak 4th Awakened Soul Layer!
The Golden Arrow Marquis Jiang Xionglong gave a quick laugh, “Central State is filled with talents and the Four Young Masters are well known. There is the famous Chu Xinghe, arrogant and sharp beyond compare. Why is he not here today?”
“Chu Xinghe, Luo Xianglong, and Ye Tianlang were all injured, so they had no way of coming.” The Divine Wind Marquis gave introductions, “The Central State Purple Lightning Young Master Yun Yao is the leader this time.”
Yun Yao did not dare be rude, “This Yun Yao has seen the two marquises. These are Feng Caidie, Nangong Yun, and Chu Tian.”
Chu Tian?!
Shangguan Hong’s eyes flashed.
“What!” A voice sound, “I was wondering why the quality of the Central State people was so bad. It turns out Chu Xinghe isn’t here! I wanted to test my strength with the Central State geniuses!”
This was a man wearing a vest, revealing two sturdy arms with red muscles. His name was Wu Yang, one of the geniuses brought by the Western Marquis.
This person was at the peak 4th Awakened Soul Layer, with a similar style to Central State’s Luo Xianglong. However, his might was not below Luo Xianglong’s and he was also a top class genius.
Yun Yao’s face sunk.
This fellow was clearly provoking them.
Nangong Yun flew into a rage, “You dare say that we aren’t good enough?”
“Isn’t it true?” Wu Yang gave a cold laugh and said, “How about we have a match if you’re not satisfied?”
Nangong Yun rolled up her sleeves and took the giant hammer from her back, “Come! Let’s have a match!”
The Divine Wind Marquis knit his brows, “Don’t cause trouble! You can’t forget the mission given to us!”
The Western Marquis Shangguan Hong smiled and said, “Divine Wind Marquis, young people are strong willed. Competing with one another is a good thing, otherwise how can we improve ourselves? The Calm Martial Ruler arranged for the young ones to come to Lei Zhou to allow them to gain experience, letting them try their luck and see how high the heavens are. Talents like these rarely meet, so we should let them compete.”
Shangguan Feicheng proposed, “I agree with my father’s thoughts, but if one’s cultivation base is too high, it would be hard to control and there will be injuries. How about we nominate the weakest person among us to fight this match?”
“That’s good!” The Western Marquis Shangguan Hong did not give them time to reject, “Wei Long, your defense is the highest and your attack power is not strong, we’ll have you compete with Central State’s Chu Tian.”
Chu Tian!
Everyone understood as soon as they heard this!
After circling around for a while, this fellow was just making trouble for Chu Tian!
