Chapter 140 Belief In The North Collapsed, Jiang Luoshen Confessed!
Soon, Qin Mu and Jiang Luoshen arrived at the city wall and stood side by side.
Qin Mu stood with his hands behind his back, his face calm.
Jiang Luoshen, on the other hand, tightly closed her eyes, as if brewing some emotions.
On the way here, she changed into a pure white dress, slender and delicate, ethereal and untainted by the mundane world, like a fairy walking out of a painting, making people reluctant to defile her.
No one would have thought that such a fairy-like person would have hidden intentions beneath her skirt...
At the moment Jiang Luoshen arrived at the city wall, the Northern Territory cultivator who had been kneeling on the ground praying suddenly stiffened in place, staring wide-eyed, with a dumbfounded expression.
The next second, everyone's gaze focused on Jiang Luoshen.
"Your Highness!"
"It's... it's Your Highness!"
"Oh my god, am I really not mistaken!"
"Your Highness is actually here! Your Highness is still alive!"
"Your Highness, save us, save us!"
In an instant, the entire Northern Territory erupted in excitement.
Everyone climbed up the city wall like madmen, trying to get closer to Jiang Luoshen and seek her help.
"Your Highness..."
"Your Highness..."
The crowd wailed, tears streaming down their faces.
Groups of ordinary people and cultivators from the Northern Territory also gathered around, their eyes red and tears flowing.
At the moment they saw Jiang Luoshen, their hearts convulsed violently, their noses tingled, and tears uncontrollably fell.
This scene was all too familiar.
On the day of the Northern Territory's expedition, Your Highness stood on the city wall like this, full of spirit and vitality.
She was like a female war god, leading them to rise up against the tyrant and march towards Chang'an.
Wherever she went, no one could stop her, and she was invincible.
She was like the bright moon hanging high in the sky, illuminating the direction they were advancing, giving them the courage to move forward and dispelling the fear in their hearts.
Her existence was a belief, a towering mountain!
But now, the former female war god had become a prisoner!
How could they not be heartbroken?!
At the sight of Jiang Luoshen, they realized with unprecedented clarity that the Northern Territory had ultimately been defeated.
A feeling of heart-wrenching grief swept over everyone, even making them forget their fear, only wanting to cry out loud and vent their grievances and grievances.
Qin Mu silently watched her, without urging.
Gradually, Jiang Luoshen opened her eyes, her beautiful gaze looking down at the kneeling people and the wailing Northern Territory cultivators around her.
Her heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife, her eyes burning.
She raised her sleeve to wipe away the tears at the corners of her eyes, trying hard to suppress the pain and guilt in her heart, took a deep breath, and forced a bright smile.
"I'm sorry for all the suffering, it's all my fault."
Her voice was gentle, but her tone was low, filled with intense remorse.
"Your Highness, don't blame yourself, it's our uselessness that failed to help Your Highness."
"Your Highness, there's no need to feel guilty, this was our own choice, no one else's fault!"
"Yes, Your Highness, it's our incompetence that led to such a disastrous defeat!"
"We are sorry, Your Highness!"
The crowd choked up, unable to speak.
When the Great Qin army attacked, they had once despaired!
But they didn't expect that Your Highness was still alive!!
This was an extremely uplifting thing for everyone in the Northern Territory.
Because only with Your Highness alive, there was hope, and the Northern Territory had a future.
Jiang Luoshen, upon hearing this, had a slight redness in her beautiful eyes.
She knew the loyalty of these Northern Territory cultivators to her, but unfortunately...
She was destined to disappoint them.
Jiang Luoshen shook her head and said softly,
"It's not your fault, blame me for being foolish back then."
Many Northern Realm cultivators were stunned by her words, momentarily unable to understand what she meant.
And at that moment...
Jiang Luoshen's voice suddenly grew louder.
"It was my foolishness to attempt to resist the master with my weak power, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in the Northern Realm."
She glanced at the densely packed Northern Realm cultivators below and continued,
"And now, your homes have been destroyed, and you have become prisoners."
"I, Jiang Luoshen, apologize to all of you, to your loved ones and friends, to the billions of people in the Northern Realm, to..."
As Jiang Luoshen spoke, tears welled up in her beautiful eyes, and then they fell, pitter-pattering onto the jade stone floor beneath her feet.
Choking back her sobs, she said,
"I don't expect you to forgive me, I just hope that you can live well."
As her words fell, everyone below fell into silence, their gazes vacant and filled with disbelief.
They simply couldn't believe what they had just heard.
The princess... actually admitted to the charges!
This isn't like the princess!
She is the princess of the Northern Realm, with exceptional talent, and she is the eternal female war goddess in their hearts!
Why would she suddenly admit to such a mistake?
And in such a humble state, referring to the Great Qin tyrant as her master?!
Everyone wore a bewildered expression, unable to believe their own ears.
"Princess..."
"Princess, what's wrong with you?"
"..."
Countless people panicked, anxiously calling out.
And in the residence of the Northern Guardian King, an old servant suddenly threw himself to the ground and roared towards the city wall,
"Princess!! You're not wrong, as long as you give the order, we can continue to fight!"
Tears streamed down his wrinkled face, trembling as he shouted with all his might.
He was heavily injured, his body hunched, but at this moment, he seemed to transform into a majestic lion, roaring with anger, his voice shaking the world!
But the next moment, his voice abruptly stopped!
"Swish!"
A sharp cold light flickered through the void, cutting through the air, and in the blink of an eye, it pierced through the old servant's head, blood spurting out!
A lifeless body fell to the ground with a thud!
Then, calmness returned.
Everything seemed as if nothing had happened, except for the cold body of the servant, proving that something had indeed occurred just now.
And below the city wall, the once bustling crowd fell into silence, without exception.
Everyone stared blankly at the servant's lifeless body.
There, a sharp dagger was still embedded.
After killing, a man in black slowly walked out, holding the blood-stained dagger in his hand.
It was none other than Li Hanshan, the leader of the Dark God Guards!
His eyes were icy cold, like the harbinger of death.
In his hand, he also held a bloody head.
The face of that head was twisted, seemingly filled with fear and disbelief before death.
It was the old servant.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Luoshen stood frozen in place, unable to speak for a long time.
Her eyes still had traces of glistening tears.
This old servant was one of the stewards of the Northern Guardian King's residence. Although he was already very old, he had always been loyal, never marrying or taking concubines, and he didn't even have children.
It could be said that he had devoted his entire life to the Northern Guardian King's residence.
But now...
Jiang Luoshen felt her throat dry, and a mist of tears welled up in her eyes.
"Princess..."
The people called out with a dim expression, but they dared not say anything more, only silently lowering their heads, feeling low-spirited.
