Lord of All Gods

Chapter 1422: Chapter 1422 The Bloodbath of Xifeng

At that moment, Qu Jing regretted not being discerning enough, leading everyone into a trap.

If King Xifeng commanded an attack now, even with Ye Liuyun intervening, there wouldn’t be many of his 200,000 people left afterwards.

But currently, Ye Liuyun had no plans to intervene. He stood to the side, observing everything with indifference.

Qu Jing initially doubted him and struck a deal to await Qu Jing’s confirmation. So, if Qu Jing didn’t ask, he wouldn’t take action.

However, Qu Wanying felt perplexed as to why Ye Liuyun hadn’t saved her.

Even after being captured, she remained remarkably calm. She had confidence that if Ye Liuyun were present, nothing harmful would happen to her.

Seeing Qu Jing deep in thought, King Xifeng believed he was about to surrender, and had a smug smile on his face.

"Ah! I never imagined that after saving your life, you would harm me at such a crucial moment, even if you weren’t grateful! I don’t understand people at all!" Qu Jing sighed suddenly.

As he noticed the softened tone, King Xifeng sighed emotionally, "I have no choice. The empire pressured me! In reality, if you look at it differently, we share the same goal, to fight against the empire. Consider mining as our distinct roles, and it might be easier to accept!"

"If you explain it well, I would agree to each of us contributing half our troops, mining together, and sharing the profits equally. However, your current approach exploits others in danger and doesn’t align with gentleman-like behavior," Qu Jing shook his head and sighed.

"Without strength, do I even have the right to speak? Why should I share the country I’ve built with so much effort with others? Is there a need for discussion?"

King Xifeng asked a series of questions, not to make excuses, but because he wanted to understand things.

He believed that only the strong had the right to speak in this world, where everything was determined by interests.

"Mr. Ye, you have great insight! I not only cannot judge people accurately but also struggle to distinguish right from wrong! I sincerely apologize to you and hope for your assistance," Qu Jing earnestly conveyed to Ye Liuyun.

He had entirely lost faith in King Xifeng.

If the delay persisted, he worried that King Xifeng might resort to something even more outrageous.

Hearing his heartfelt apology, Ye Liuyun understood that he had finally seen through the true nature of King Xifeng.

"Okay!" Ye Liuyun agreed and took decisive action.

He attacked, using the Divine Soul, by kidnapping Qu Wanying’s martial practitioner.

Then, a five-headed Sacred Majesty triple fire wolf appeared beside him. While not numerous, their presence effectively subdued the martial practitioners accompanying King Xifeng.

In less than fifteen minutes, everyone he brought, except for King Xifeng himself, was killed.

At that moment, King Xifeng activated the Divine Soul contract, summoning all martial practitioners from the Sacred Majesty and Sacred Terra realms to come to his rescue.

Ye Liuyun already predicted that he would try to get aid, so he purposefully avoided killing him.

Immediately, King Xifeng quickly changed his demeanor, saying, "Brother Qu, what are you doing? I was just kidding, no need to take it seriously! See, I didn’t actually harm your daughter when I had her captured!"

"Cut the nonsense! Save your energy and go back!" Ye Liuyun couldn’t be bothered to even glance at him, ordering the fire wolf to escort him back.

A short distance away, Ye Liuyun’s Divine Sense detected a considerable number of martial practitioners from the Sacred Majesty and Sacred Terra realms rushing towards their direction.

"King Xifeng is truly on the move, summoning all the experts here!"

Ye Liuyun was secretly pleased to be able to eliminate all these experts at once.

As the individuals approached, Ye Liuyun unleashed all the feral beasts and surrounded them.

Simultaneously, Ye Liuyun initiated an attack on King Xifeng with his Divine Soul, probing for information and absorbing the power of his Divine Soul.

Within the battleground, the red-spotted green snake and the arrogant bear stood out as top-tier combatants, engaging in slaughter. After each kill, they stored the bodies in the Interspatial Ring as a food reserve.

These were all feral beasts. The higher the level of the martial practitioner eliminated, the greater the food reserves obtained.

Hence, the majority of feral beasts were pushing their limits, engaging in fierce battles.

Initially, there were numerous feral beasts in the Sacred Majesty realm. The hundreds of martial practitioners who arrived were swiftly eliminated by them, leaving no corpses behind.

However, the Interspatial Ring and weapons were all on the ground, and no one bothered to pick them up.

Finally, Ye Liuyun casually tossed King Xifeng’s body to a feral beast, transferring all his storage space to Qu Jing.

Qu Jing promptly instructed Wen Chenggang and the others to gather all the scattered resources.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun unleashed the evil dragon, waved the Soul Flag, and divided the Yin-soul, feral beasts, and puppets into four teams, directing them to attack the Xifeng army from four directions.

He and everyone hurriedly returned to the camp to assume command.

Upon reaching the camp, Qu Jing promptly instructed several armies to defend themselves and not hesitate to counterattack.

Ye Liuyun’s wild beasts and Yin-souls were enough for the attack. They simply had to defend the camp and minimize the damage.

During this time, Ye Liuyun conveyed the defensive layout and other information about King Xifeng’s territory to Qu Jing, enabling him to prepare for the takeover.

Qu Jing was quite concerned after learning the defense strategy.

"Even though this defense strategy is quite thorough, we still lack powerhouses in the Sacred Majesty realm to fend off surprise attacks from the opponent’s forces!"

Ye Liuyun offered some advice, saying, "I believe King Xifeng’s approach is worth considering."

Hence, Ye Liuyun shared with Qu Jing the information about King Xifeng’s purchase of a martial practitioner.

Qu Jing promptly decided to assign someone to handle the matter as soon as the battle there ended. fгeewebnovёl.com

At that point, screams echoed throughout the Xifeng territory.

Without the protection of high-level martial practitioners, King Xifeng’s 400,000-strong army couldn’t endure the attacks of Ye Liuyun’s Yin-soul and feral beasts.

Qu Jing couldn’t stand hearing the screams all around him.

"You’ll still need manpower for future mining, won’t you? How about leaving some soldiers to work as miners?" Qu Jing proposed.

"I don’t need miners to extract the mineral vein!" Ye Liuyun rejected outright.

He grasped that Qu Jing hoped for him to reduce the number of killings.

However, Qu Jing couldn’t bear the burden of sustaining these soldiers. If they were let go, they would not only pose security risks to the current defense but also potentially harm the surrounding people once outside.

Hence, Ye Liuyun had to handle them here to prevent any further complications.

Seeing Ye Liuyun’s refusal, Qu Jing tried to persuade him once more, saying, "You previously mentioned that a foreign race posed a threat and that you aimed to remove the Xie family. However, as it stands, more lives are being lost because of you!"

Ye Liuyun glanced at Qu Jing and inquired, " Do you think we can afford to support these people? If we let them go, can you ensure they won’t disclose the defense layout here? Can you guarantee they won’t pose a threat to ordinary people outside?"

Qu Jing was well aware of these issues deep down, but he couldn’t overcome them.
