#742 - Chapter 742 Life and Death
“Another world, Netherworld Kingdom, we surrender!”
“Another world, Flying Fish Kingdom, we are willing to surrender and become subjects of the Immortal Realm!”
“Another world, Profound Sound Kingdom, we surrender, hoping the Immortal Realm will be merciful and grant us a path to survival!”
… …
With the fall of Emperor Luo, the heavens and earth trembled, and countless venomous insects and previously sealed monsters emerged, seeking to devour the people of the other world.
Under such circumstances, the men of the other world, for the sake of more people surviving, those who previously refused to surrender even unto death, one by one, bent their bodies and bowed their heads to the Immortal Realm.
“Turn in all your weapons, cripple your martial strength and cultivation levels, and you may be spared your miserable lives, otherwise…”
Xuan stood in the void, gazing at the people of the other world, his eyes devoid of any pity, and said coldly.
He still remembered the countless wronged souls of the Immortal Realm people who had died under the blades of the other world’s puppet soldiers.
If it weren’t for Ye Ling’s order, he would have made the other world pay an extremely painful price.
Blood for blood, flesh for flesh!
“Puff!”
“Clang!”
“Boom!”
… …
One sound after another rang out, as the men from various countries in the other world who had come to surrender, without the slightest hesitation, followed Xuan’s words.
“Vice Envoy, count the number of people, make it quick!”
“Xiao Bai, Xiao Qing, keep a close watch on the entrances and exits, no one who comes in is allowed to leave!”
Although things were developing as Lord Ling had predicted, Xuan felt a faint unease in his heart, and this unease became more and more obvious.
Perhaps infected by the tense emotions in Xuan’s words, the Imperial Spirit Guards under Xuan’s command became much more rigorous than before.
Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing were even more earnest, scrutinizing the people who came to surrender, not being careless in the slightest.
Half an hour later, the Imperial Spirit Guards finally finished counting all the people who had come to surrender.
“Reporting, Lord Xuan, no abnormalities found!”
The Vice Envoy wiped the cold sweat that had appeared on his forehead at some unknown time and clasped his fist at Xuan.
Xuan, however, stared in one direction without saying a word, his intuition telling him that there was a problem here.
“Lord Xuan, what’s wrong?”
After a long silence, the Vice Envoy asked Xuan in confusion.
Xuan made a shushing gesture, walked straight through the crowd, and stood in front of the people who had claimed to be from the Netherworld Kingdom.
“You, are you truly people of the Netherworld Kingdom?”
Xuan narrowed his eyes, coldly staring at the crowd in front of him who claimed to be from the Netherworld Kingdom, and suddenly spoke.
“Yes, sir, haven’t we already done as you instructed? Why make things difficult for us?” The person in the lead spoke first.
“The people of the Netherworld Kingdom live underground all year round, with snow-white skin and sensitivity to light. But you…”
As soon as Xuan said this, everyone instantly stared at the dark skin of that group of people.
Now, under the scorching sun, they stood calmly in the sunlight, without the slightest discomfort.
Hearing Xuan’s words, even the people of the other world unhesitatingly distanced themselves from this group of people.
They had finally escaped with their lives, and they didn’t want to lose their chance to live for no reason because of others.
“Puff!!!”
At the moment Xuan spoke, Xiao Bai, Xiao Qing, Ji Changsheng, Ye Wuxin, Ye Xiaoyao, and all the people of the Immortal Realm present were prepared for battle.
However, they still miscalculated.
The people who claimed to be from the Netherworld Kingdom suddenly gave a bitter smile and instantly spat out blood.
“Get down, they’re going to self-destruct!”
Xiao Bai was the first to see through these people’s intentions and immediately rolled to the ground, merging with the yellow earth.
At the same time, a shocking explosion rang out, a blaze of fire soaring into the sky, and continuing incessantly.
In the blink of an eye, the previously majestic city of the other world was instantly burned into a sea of fire.
“Go, these people are extremely strange, we can’t stay here for long!”
Xuan glimpsed blue flames flickering in the sea of fire, a record from ancient books flashing through his mind, and decisively said.
The situation was urgent, and coupled with the fact that the sea of fire was spreading very quickly, the people of the Immortal Realm could no longer care about much.
They immediately leaped up from the ground where they had just been lying and followed the Imperial Spirit Guards towards the outside of the city.
“Whirr!”
Just as Xuan and the others had just escaped from the city, the entire city wall collapsed.
Immediately following, the entire other world shook again.
This time, the earthquake was even more violent than before.
This time, only the people of the Immortal Realm escaped with Xuan, and the people of the other world who had just surrendered obviously did not escape.
They were all left in the other world forever by their own compatriots through different means.
Even many of the people of the Immortal Realm were injured.
“Commander Xuan, what should we do next?”
The Imperial Spirit Guard looked at the other world city in the distance that was still burning and collapsing, feeling lingering fear.
Just a little bit more, and they would have been dragged to their deaths by the people of the other world.
“We won’t attack the city for now, after these two shocks in the other world, the remaining people can’t make any waves.”
“Let’s go find Lord Ling to join up!”
Xuan looked at the red-tinged sky of the other world and said decisively.
“Xuan, what did you do just now? Why did such a big commotion suddenly occur in this other world?”
Before Xuan could go to find Ye Ling and the others, Ye Ling and Ye Kong had already appeared with the rescued Luo Yangtian and Xiaoshan.
“Lord Ling, the people who surrendered in the other world suddenly self-destructed, which caused the earthquake!”
Seeing that Ye Ling was safe and sound, Xuan immediately put his heart back in his stomach and reported.
In the distance, Lin Yaoyao and the others who had been guarding the city also came to join up with Xiao Bai and the others.
Seeing that his disciples were safe and sound, and that the biggest hidden danger, Emperor Luo, had also been resolved, Ye Kong suddenly became a little lazy.
“The remaining matters of the other world are just trivial things, Ye Ling, you can take care of them.”
“I’ll take my leave first.”
Ye Kong had no interest in subduing the other world. Fighting and killing were not good. It would be better for him to go back and sleep well.
“This…”
Ye Ling wanted to say that there were still many unresolved problems in the other world, but when she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Ye Kong’s indifferent eyes, she didn’t say anything more.
“Xuan, take two people to escort Peak Lord Ye and his disciples back, and the others will follow me to seal off this other world.”
At this time, half of the land in this other world had already sunk to the bottom of the ground, and the other half had been burned to ruins by the wildfire, making it too difficult to repair.
Moreover, the issue of where the people of the other world should go is also a major problem.
They cannot be brought into the Immortal Realm, nor can they be left to fend for themselves.
When she and Ye Kong came here just now, they had already discussed a good solution.
Perform a ritual in the sky above the other world to create a very powerful dojo, completely cutting off the spiritual and immortal power sources of the other world.
In this way, it would be equivalent to severing the path of cultivation for the people of the other world. From then on, the other world would only have ordinary people, with no path to cultivation and advancement.
In this way, even if the other world wanted to rise again and attack their Immortal Realm, they would be powerless.
When the other world has repaired itself to a reasonable degree, then the path of cultivation can be opened, but that would be another story.
