#167 - The ruthless way, Zhu Menglan

Since Qin Qixian was willing to fight alone, they couldn't stop him, but they all enveloped the battlefield with their divine senses at all times, ready to provide support in case of an accident.

And now Qin Qixian indeed had the capital to show off his abilities in front of others. He had already reached the late stage of the God Transformation realm, making it effortless for him to crush the Left Commander, who was only at the middle stage of God Transformation, with ease.

The opponent was retreating steadily under his flying sword, raging in vain.

"No—"

Watching figures fall powerlessly like rain before him, Emperor Yuwen Han of the Ironwing Dynasty was filled with despair, realizing that his situation was hopeless.

"Are you in pain?"

Suddenly, a voice echoed faintly. Yuwen Han turned his head abruptly, only to see a strange young man clad in spiritual armor standing behind him at some unknown time.

It was Qin Qishuo.

This guy took advantage of others' inattention to secretly strip off the spiritual armor of a dead guardsman and put it on, quietly approaching.

"Protect the Emperor!"

Yuwen Han was immediately horrified.

Qin Qishuo didn't care. So what if it was a sneak attack? Who stipulated that someone with high cultivation couldn't use sneak attacks? The winner is king, the loser is a bandit. What do you care what means I use!

"Your Majesty… Run!"

The Left Commander was directly cut into more than a dozen pieces by Feng Jun and others' joint attack, dying on the spot with lingering regret.

The strength of the two sides was not at the same level at all. Whether it was the number of God Transformation Heavenly Lords or Golden Core Nascent Soul cultivators, they were overwhelming. Moreover, they cooperated tacitly, mastering all kinds of strange combination spells, often able to produce unexpected effects, catching everyone off guard.

With the miserable cry of the Right Commander, the battle came to an end. Most of the Falling Leaf Dynasty's cultivators were killed, and a small number, seeing no hope, chose to surrender.

Now, the only one still persisting was Yuwen Han.

The guards around him were all killed, and he himself was retreating steadily under Qin Qishuo's attacks, covered in a disheveled state.

"Will you surrender or not?"

Feng Jun and others flew over together, staring coldly.

Yuwen Han suddenly laughed loudly, saying in a sad voice: "The situation is hopeless. My dynasty is gone. What's the point of living? I will be with the dynasty, never a slave!"

He understood that he was also a rebellious subject to the Phoenix Nirvana Dynasty, and even if he surrendered, he would not have a good end.

As he spoke, the protective flying swords surrounding him suddenly turned in a circle, directly piercing his chest, and then strangling his Nascent Soul.

Bang!

Emperor Yuwen Han of the Ironwing Dynasty committed suicide!

"Tsk tsk…"

Feng Jun and others flew forward to check, and smiled after discovering that the other party was indeed lifeless: "This guy has quite the backbone!"

With Yuwen Han's death, the entire Ironwing Dynasty was completely destroyed.

Feng Jun floated in the air and shouted loudly: "Everyone listen to the order, immediately start cleaning up the spoils of war, no private hoarding. After returning, the alliance leader will reward you according to your merits!"

These things had to be collected, and 60% would be handed over to the alliance leader at that time. This had long been a customary rule.

Everyone responded one after another, and then dispersed, searching the entire palace for treasures.

Soon, everyone found a treasure house deep underground in the palace. The resources stored inside immediately made everyone excited. Spirit stones, treasures, and spirit medicines were piled up, and the spiritual energy was rich and lingering.

In addition, under the palace, a fifth-order spiritual vein was found, surrounded by several fourth-order spiritual veins, no wonder it could be used as the palace residence…

"Hahahaha, as expected of the vast and resource-rich Central Region, even a small dynasty has so many treasures and resources!"

Feng Jun and others were also excited after collecting all the spoils of war. The treasures of this dynasty alone were enough to match the resources of a cultivation country in the Eastern Region. This was only a small dynasty that was split from the Phoenix Nirvana Dynasty in the past, and its foundation was not deep enough.

They were already looking forward to following the alliance leader to conquer a wider world!

A figure suddenly appeared, it was the black-robed clone.

"Alliance Leader!"

Everyone saluted respectfully, their eyes filled with excitement.

"You have done well!" The black-robed clone praised without hesitation.

"It's all thanks to the wise guidance of the Alliance Leader." Feng Jun presented a storage ring and said: "Alliance Leader, this is 60% of the spirit stones confiscated from the Ironwing Dynasty. Those treasures and spirit medicines will be exchanged for spirit stones and then offered to the Alliance Leader!"

The black-robed clone took the storage ring and scanned it with his divine sense, discovering that there were actually billions of spirit stones inside. This was only 60% of them, and there were still some resources that had not been exchanged…

"Everyone has worked hard. Leave a part of the people to continue cleaning up the battlefield, and the rest will rest in place first. There will be tough battles to fight later!"

The black-robed clone instructed and disappeared in place.

—

Chu State, Evergreen Hall, Qingyun Mansion.

Sitting in the courtyard, Qin Changqing's eyes flickered slightly. He turned his head to look to the left, and a black robe appeared.

With a wave of his hand, the black-robed clone sent four storage rings floating towards Qin Changqing.

Qin Changqing reached out to take them and carefully checked them, his face immediately filled with surprise.

The spirit stones in these four storage rings added up to more than 20 billion. This was only a part of them. Later, when they recovered all the lost land of the Phoenix Nirvana Dynasty, the benefits could be imagined.

"You continue to go back to observe the battle situation, and don't let the children get hurt!"

Qin Changqing waved his hand, and the black-robed clone disappeared again.

Putting all the spirit stones in the storage ring into the system space to slowly absorb, Qin Changqing immediately felt more confident.

A lean horse fattens on poor pasture, a man grows rich on ill-gotten gains!

Murder and arson lead to a golden belt. The ancients did not deceive me!

"Vice Alliance Leader ~"

A soft and charming voice came from outside. Qin Changqing raised his eyebrows slightly, opened the formation, and a graceful woman draped in gauze walked into the courtyard.

"You are?"

Qin Changqing blinked. This woman was above average in both appearance and figure, but she gave him a strange feeling.

"This humble servant is Zhu Menglan, and I am here to deliver some spiritual wine to the Vice Alliance Leader on the order of the Hall Master."

Zhu Menglan smiled sweetly, took out a jar of spiritual wine from the storage ring, and opened the seal, immediately releasing a refreshing aroma of wine.

Qin Changqing looked at Zhu Menglan, and finally realized what was wrong.

It was the smile.

This woman's smile was a bit fake. To put it bluntly, it was a forced smile, a bit of a forced smile.

"… It's really embarrassing for you!" Qin Changqing was a little speechless, and he also found it funny in his heart.

It seemed that the Hall Master Su had also put a lot of effort into this. Was it so difficult for a woman who cultivated the Path of Emotionlessness to smile?

Patting the side of his body, Qin Changqing said softly: "You don't need to be so restrained, just be yourself. Isn't it uncomfortable to smile like this?"

Zhu Menglan's smile disappeared immediately, turning into a cold look: "The Hall Master said that if you don't smile, you will be unhappy. Master seems to make you not very happy."

Qin Changqing suddenly understood that she was Shen Qingwei's disciple. No wonder she had cultivated the Path of Emotionlessness so deeply…
