Chapter 826 The Fall Of The Wu Family
Tens of thousands of Donghua soldiers shouted in unison, bidding farewell to the old war god, Jiang Wanjun.
The yellow sand blew, rustling against Jiang Wanjun's battle-worn armor, and his silver-white hair fluttered in the wind.
This legendary god of war, who had dominated the battlefield for an entire era, took his final breath there and then.
The next day, a piece of news reached Donghua, instantly causing a sensation across the nation and moving countless people to tears.
'Dragon Soul Warlord returns in great victory!'
"The Wargod of the Six Nations, Jiang Wanjun, has fallen, and the ruler of Xi Xia surrendered. The Dragon Soul Army of Donghua, with three hundred thousand soldiers, directly swept into the capital of Xi Xia!"
"We've won! The war is over."
In an instant, the entire nation was in an uproar, and the impact was tremendous. The leaders of other countries were shocked upon hearing this news.
Jiang Wanjun, what a figure he was, a god of war who had dominated an entire era. In the hearts of the people, he was invincible. But now, the once unbeatable Jiang Wanjun had actually been defeated. And by a young commander from Donghua at that!
For a moment, intelligence departments of various countries quickly mobilized, immediately elevating the file of the Dragon Soul Warlord to the 'sss' level, signifying a significant threat.
Multiple departments launched full-scale investigations, aiming to thoroughly understand and research this Dragon Soul Warlord. However, due to the vigorous protection by the Donghua military and the Academy of Records, information about Chu Feng was instantly raised to the highest security level, preventing outsiders from prying.
So now, the world only knew the renowned name of the 'Dragon Soul Warlord,' whose reputation shook both domestic and foreign spheres. Yet, details about his appearance, background, family, and friends remained completely unknown.
In Xi Ye, within the Wu family Prince Ping Xi's Residence, Wu Zhenguo seemingly aged a decade in a heartbeat as he looked at the extensive propaganda from major media outlets and online platforms.
He waved his hand to the steward beside him and hoarsely commanded, "Convey my order. Starting today, the Wu family announces complete retirement. All conglomerates under the Wu family will be handed over, and all officials and corporate executives associated with the Wu family faction will receive no more protection. All relatives of the Wu family are to withdraw from business, politics, and the military. From now on, they will be disconnected from worldly affairs."
"Master!" The steward, full of grievances, choked up and said, "The Wu family will perish. Please reconsider, sir."
Without power and influence, the Royal Wu family was nothing but an overweight pig. Perhaps it could maintain prosperity for two or three generations, but in a few decades, the Wu family would inevitably decline or even perish.
Wu Zhenguo closed his eyes and, in a hoarse voice, said, "My decision is final. See to it."
Before, he was unwilling to completely retire from the Wu family. There was still a trace of fighting spirit within him, waiting for Chu Feng to be defeated by Jiang Wanjun, seizing the opportunity to
rise and strike against the young man. However, now that Chu Feng had defeated Jiang Wanjun, returning in great victory, he became a hero and savior in the eyes of millions in Donghua.
This was not the time to oppose him; that would be seeking death! Therefore, in accordance with the previous agreement with Chu Feng, Wu Zhenguo chose to retire.
Perhaps the Wu family's retreat would gradually lead to decline, but if they didn't retire, their family would enter a countdown to its demise from now on.
All Wu Zhenguo could do was preserve the Wu family's bloodline with all that he could and avoid the tragedy his son had faced. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
As for the future of the Wu family, he would leave their path forward all to fate.
"Yes, sir!" The steward wiped away his tears and left the courtyard with sorrow and loneliness. When he looked up and glanced at the solemn and grand characters 'Prince Ping Xi's Residence' at the gate, he felt an inexplicable sense of desolation.
He understood that the Wu family had lost for good.
