Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

#1190 - Qingzhou Unification

As the army attacked, the commander of the defending forces within the Imperial City of Wu'an had a cold look in his eyes.

"Release the弩arrows!"

He issued the order, his voice like thunder!

His voice was loud, like a peal of thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth.

However, despite such a loud command, there was almost no reaction on the city walls.

Of the four million defending soldiers, only a few hundred thousand took action, while the rest ignored his orders.

"What are you doing?"

The defending commander was furious!

"Soldiers, the moment to break through the darkness and usher in the dawn has arrived! For our future, for our families to have a better living environment, soldiers, follow us to welcome the royal army into the city!"

Many high-ranking generals shouted in unison, and immediately, countless defending soldiers responded, following them all the way to the city gate area.

"General Zhou, how dare you betray the country!"

The defending commander was shocked and angry, and the Tianke Khan was even more furious, wishing he could rush up and kill those generals immediately.

However, those generals were also at the Half-Step Overlord Saint Realm, the same realm as him, and it was not easy to kill them. Moreover, there were so many talisman-armored troops, so rushing up like that might lead to being counter-killed.

Chaos ensued, both on the city walls of the Imperial City of Wu'an and in the defensive areas below the city.

Of the more than four million defending soldiers in Wu'an City, four million followed those high-ranking generals to open the city gates and welcome Jun Wuxie's army into the city.

The remaining hundreds of thousands of elite talisman-armored troops loyal to the Tianke Khan fought fiercely with them.

These hundreds of thousands of talisman-armored troops belonged to the various tribes under the rule of the Ashina tribe and were not of the same ethnicity as the other soldiers.

The four million soldiers who wanted to open the city gates and the Daqian people were of the same origin.

So many long years had passed, and they had been ruled and oppressed for so long, enduring it generation after generation.

Today, they finally bravely stood up to resist!

"Traitors, you traitors who betray the country!" The Tianke Khan roared, his eyes filled with blood, shouting loudly at the strong men around him: "Go, kill them for this Khan!"

He roared and rushed over first, and the other strong men, seeing this, hurriedly followed.

"Clang!"

Before the Tianke Khan and the others could rush to the generals, a flying sword, its entire body blooming with brilliant sword light and filled with sharp sword intent, appeared in front of them like a beam of light piercing through the void.

The flying sword pierced through the void, causing cracks to spread throughout the void. It seemed to be inserted into the void cracks, the sword body humming, overflowing with waves of sword intent, impacting the Tianke Khan and others, causing them to retreat repeatedly, with many tiny blood marks appearing on their bodies and faces.

"Originally, considering that you are the Wu'an Khan, I was planning to spare your life. I didn't expect you to use the Qin Province strongmen as a knife to deal with the Divine King. You are courting death!"

Jian Chen's voice was very cold, filled with killing intent.

He had already learned about Qin Province from Jun Wuxie through his divine sense, and also knew the level of the people who had come from Qin Province.

"Hahaha! Hahahahaha!"

The Tianke Khan laughed wildly, his voice filled with madness, roaring venomously: "Do you think that by breaking through the Imperial City, you can unify Qing Province? What a fool's dream! Once the strongmen from Qin Province arrive, all of you will be reduced to ashes, and that Jun surname will die without a burial place!"

"Come on, come and kill this Khan! This Khan is waiting for you in the Yellow Springs, waiting for that Jun surname! All of you, these millions of troops, will all die!"

The Wu'an Tianke Khan shouted, acting like a madman, as if he had lost his mind.

He was a high-ranking ruler, the master of a dynasty that controlled millions of miles of territory, and he had possessed too many things over the years.

But these things, today, at this moment, had completely left him, snatched from his hands by these people!

How could he be willing, how could he be convinced, how could he not be crazy?

At this moment, a series of afterimages rushed over, instantly enveloping the entire Tianke Khan.

Then, there was his miserable scream, accompanied by splattering blood.

In just a short moment, the afterimages disappeared, all merging together, appearing in the air dozens of meters away, revealing the perfect and enchanting figure of Dugu Ruyan.

Looking at the Wu'an Tianke Khan again, blood was constantly spurting from his body, and pieces of flesh were falling down, a scene that was shocking.

He screamed miserably, his voice was too shrill, wanting to struggle but unable to, his body was imprisoned, just standing in the air like that, watching the flesh on his body fall down.

This scene frightened the Wu'an officials, their livers and gallbladders splitting, staggering and turning around to run, almost rolling and crawling, in a state of utter disarray.

No one in Wu'an paid any attention to the Tianke Khan anymore.

Those who surrendered surrendered, and those who could barely protect themselves did so, unable to spare any effort to take care of others.

The people of the Ashina tribe were defeated in their confrontation with the rebel army, the city gates were opened, and the armies of the five departments poured into the city like a tide, quickly occupying key points in the city.

Many high-ranking generals led millions of soldiers to voluntarily submit and willingly accept reorganization.

"How could this happen, how could this happen!"

The defending commander was covered in blood, and a large amount of blood was also flowing from his mouth. He was besieged by several high-ranking rebel generals and was only left with his last breath.

Looking at the Tianke Khan, who was almost reduced to a skeleton, and those strongmen who had been killed, as well as the Ashina tribe soldiers who had been completely wiped out, he let out a sharp roar.

But such a voice quickly came to an abrupt end.

His head was chopped off and pierced with a spear.

"Welcome the Divine King into the city!"

The war subsided, and there was no chaos in the Imperial City of Wu'an. The people were very calm, all standing neatly on the side of the street, and then kneeling down towards the outside of the city, their voices shaking the nine heavens, echoing endlessly in the sky above the city.

"Rise." Jun Wuxie's voice was very calm, but at the same time, it had a sense of majesty. He came to the air in the city and said: "Now, Qing Province has been initially unified. The former Daqian and Wu'an will be merged into one country, and will soon be upgraded from a dynasty to—the Dawn Imperial Dynasty! From today onwards, you are all citizens of the Imperial Dynasty, and there will be no more distinction between Daqian and Wu'an. We are of the same origin, separated for eternity. It is time to reunite."

"I will order people to publicize the new laws of the Imperial Dynasty for everyone to read and understand. The small cases, big cases, major cases, and serious cases that have been accumulated in the past will be thoroughly investigated. The various administrative affairs of this city will be subject to review. Once problems are found, regardless of whether they are still in office or have retired, all those involved will be severely punished according to the new laws!"

"From today onwards, all agricultural and small-scale commercial taxes will be exempted, and all other taxes will be halved! If any citizen of the Imperial Dynasty has been wronged but has not been able to file a case, they can report their grievances after the new administrators of this city take office!"

"Long live the Divine King!"

The people of the Imperial City raised their arms and shouted, cheering, as if they were in the darkness and welcomed the shining sun; in the midst of chaos, they welcomed a new order.

"Abide by the laws of the Imperial Dynasty, build a harmonious society, live well, and abide by your duties and responsibilities. In the near future, I will give you new hope. In the future, I will surely lead the Dawn Imperial Dynasty to the pinnacle of the universe, shining brightly in the starry sky for all ages!"

"Protect the Dawn, shine brightly for all ages!"

"Protect the Dawn, shine brightly for all ages!"

… …

Countless people in the entire city shouted, making the city boil to the extreme.

Jun Wuxie and Jingya came to the central area of the city, set up a teleportation talisman formation here, and then issued orders through the teleportation talisman.

It didn't take long for a large number of officials to walk out of the teleportation talisman formation.

"Divine King!"

Those officials stepped forward and knelt down.

"Rise. This city has just been broken. Now that the Wu'an regime has been overthrown and Qing Province has been initially unified, there are many things to do. You should hurry up and go. Be careful."

"Receive the Divine King's decree, your humble servants will take their leave!"

Those officials retreated, retreating a long way before turning around and leaving.

"Ruyan, Wenting, Jian Chen, Jian Xu, Dihui, you have worked hard during this time. Now that the overall situation has been settled, the remaining Wu'an cities are all small counties with extremely weak forces and no longer need your intervention. Go back. Go to Qingyun City. You can stay in the original sect in Qingyun and concentrate on cultivation there."

The five people nodded in response, but did not leave. Instead, they hesitated for a moment, and Dugu Ruyan stared at him with her enchanting eyes: "Divine King, is there anything else you need us to do?"

"Not for the time being. Go back first and stay in Qingyun. Don't go anywhere, otherwise you may be used as a bargaining chip against me. Don't cause me trouble."

Jun Wuxie said this very seriously.

Dugu Ruyan and the others did not feel uncomfortable because of this, because they knew that what he said was the truth, a very serious issue that had to be considered, and a problem that was very likely to occur and be faced.

"Divine King, don't worry. When we can't help you, we will definitely be strict with ourselves and try our best not to cause you trouble."

Thinking about the kind of strongmen he was about to face, their moods were very heavy and worried.

But they knew very well that worrying was useless. Those kinds of strongmen were not something they could deal with at all.

All the crises could only be solved by himself. All they could do was listen to his instructions and stay honestly.

"Divine King, take care!"

They took a deep look at Jun Wuxie, turned and left, entering the teleportation talisman formation and disappearing.

"Aunt Jing, we should also leave this city to avoid harming the innocent."

Jingya nodded, holding his arm, and together they headed towards the outside of the city.
