Chapter 526: You Cannot Kill Me!

"Qin Jian! —"

Dai Mubai lay flat on the ground, letting out a roar, but a mouthful of blood sprayed out instead.

"Why are you looking at me with such hatred?"

Qin Jian's Silver Dragon Spear pointed diagonally at the center of his brow, with drops of blood falling onto his forehead.

The surroundings were silent for a moment; all the Star Luo Empire troops dared not move, and soon they were smoothly brought under control by the Guard Army.

"You are the one who is ungrateful, you are the one who surrounded and hunted Xiao Wu, and you are the one who plotted against me. In the struggle for power, the loser must pay the price. Why are you looking at me like that now?" Qin Jian said indifferently.

Dai Mubai's mouth was full of blood, and his handsome face was gradually covered in bloodstains, but he still glared at Qin Jian, his eyes wide with rage: "I am not wrong! What I am doing is for the sake of this world! It is for the greater good! You deserved to die!"

"You are not wrong? It is for the greater good?"

Qin Jian sneered: "Do you know? What I hate most is... people who use the banner of the greater good to coerce others into doing things, but in reality, are only seeking private gain for themselves!"

Bang!

He lifted the foot he had been stepping on Dai Mubai with, then brought it down heavily.

"Pfft..."

Dai Mubai sprayed blood again.

"A Soul Beast, dying for the world and for me, what is wrong with that?!"

Bloodshot veins filled his wide-open eyes: "Just you wait! I will have my revenge!"

"You want me to wait?"

Qin Jian slowly rotated the Silver Dragon Spear and said leisurely: "Did you think I would let you go?"

"You cannot kill me!"

Dai Mubai opened his eyes wide and laughed loudly: "You cannot kill me! He will protect me! If you go against him, you will surely die!"

"Is that so?"

The Silver Dragon Spear suddenly stood upright, and Qin Jian casually plunged it downward, straight into Dai Mubai's chest.

"Uh..."

Dai Mubai's previously arrogant face suddenly stiffened, and his expression slowly turned into disbelief.

"Why... why... not save me..."

"Idiot..."

Qin Jian withdrew the Silver Dragon Spear and said indifferently: "As a pawn, one must have the awareness of a pawn. Since the operation failed, why would the existence behind you still protect you?"

Dai Mubai's body was gradually stained red by the flowing blood; his eyes slowly became vacant, and he was still muttering in his mouth: "Why... why... not save me..."

"Goodbye..."

Qin Jian did not hesitate any longer; the Silver Dragon Spear slid from his hand and pierced directly through the center of Dai Mubai's brow...

"You just let him die like that?"

In the void, two imperceptible figures stood quietly.

"He was just a pawn used on a whim; once the goal was reached, if he died, he died," the figure on the left said indifferently.

The other figure on the right said: "It wasn't exactly reaching the goal, was it? He didn't strip away the rules, and instead, you wasted Divine Power after laying out the plan for so long."

"That was the best outcome; I didn't expect it to truly succeed, it was just a test."

The figure on the left said: "This concerns the future of the God Realm; it is not just my business. This time, I buried a nail in his heart, and that is enough."

The figure on the right nodded: "That is true. Influencing his God Trial to this extent is already the limit; any more and there would be a backlash. You buried this nail of 'not giving up on becoming a god,' and if they apply pressure from the side to make him despair, then the chances of success will be much greater."

"Even if it fails, it doesn't matter. We can force it if we have to, it just takes too long," the figure on the left said.

The figure on the right nodded, suddenly thought of something, and let out a soft laugh: "The Rakshasa God, however, suffered a great loss. The successor she originally chose is actually rejecting her power and influence. Hehehe, it is too funny..."

The figure on the left seemed unable to help but laugh as well: "She was so adamant that there would be absolutely no problem, and yet, hehehe..."

"Doesn't she have a new candidate this time? It's the disciple of the original successor, right? Their strength is still low, so it should be easier to influence."

The figure on the right said: "She said this time she will definitely make that Love Flower despair, so let us watch a show."

"Better not. We cannot wander around him all day; we should try to influence him through successors as much as possible, otherwise, we ourselves will suffer a backlash..."

The figure on the left sighed: "What a powerful and tempting law it is..."

"Fine, we should go too..."

"Mm."

"......"

After killing Dai Mubai, the morale of the Star Luo army completely collapsed; except for a few who fled, almost everyone else was taken prisoner.

"Commander, these nearly twenty thousand people are all prisoners. How should we deal with them?" Guibao Douluo stood by Qin Jian's side and asked.

Qin Jian stood before Dai Mubai's corpse and shook the Silver Dragon Spear to flick off the bloodstains.

Hearing Guibao Douluo's question, he turned his head and said: "These forces are of little use to us, and they are expendable to the Star Luo Empire... however..."

He gave a cold sneer: "Ambushing and surrounding the Spirit Hall Chief Judge and the Guard Commander is not something that ends with just the death of one Dai Mubai..."

Guibao Douluo glanced at him, a hint of anticipation in her eyes: "What does the Commander intend to do?"

It was not her first time seeing Qin Jian's unconventional tactics; for instance, his proposal for the Spirit Academy had left her in awe.

Qin Jian pondered for a moment and said: "Take the Guard Army and escort these prisoners to the Star Luo Empire. Make a big scene along the way and spread the news throughout the Star Luo Empire. The message is this..."

He gave a cold sneer: "The Star Luo Empire Crown Prince privately surrounded and attacked the Spirit Hall Chief Judge, and now twenty thousand people have been captured. If the Star Luo Empire does not provide compensation to redeem them, then these twenty thousand people will lose their lives."

Guibao Douluo was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, her eyes lighting up: "If it becomes known to everyone, then the Star Luo Empire will not be able to escape the responsibility of attacking the Commander. If they, being in the wrong, do not redeem these twenty thousand people, they will lose the hearts of the people. And for the Star Luo Empire, their foundation of statehood is the hearts of the people, their powerful cohesion and control."

Qin Jian nodded and said: "So they will yield, even if the Crown Prince is dead. Being in the wrong, his death will have been for nothing."

"What kind of redemption compensation conditions does the Commander want to propose?" Guibao Douluo asked again.

She had already guessed that Qin Jian would not go to the Star Luo Empire, as he would certainly return to the Star Dou Great Forest for a period of time, and the subsequent matters would undoubtedly be executed by her, which is why she had to ask clearly.

"Two conditions, both must be met."

Qin Jian said indifferently: "First, all Spirit Academies across the Star Luo Empire are to be renamed Spirit Hall Academies and brought under the unified management of the Spirit Hall."

"Rename them directly?" Guibao Douluo was stunned.

"That's right, no more hanging names, one step to the end."

Qin Jian said: "Rest assured, they will accept it, because this doesn't count as some great humiliation; I didn't ask them to cede territory or pay reparations."

Guibao Douluo nodded thoughtfully.

"There is one more condition..."

Qin Jian thought for a moment and said: "Sever the relationship between the Star Luo Royal Family and the Zhu family, and make them relinquish the position of Head of Family of the Zhu family."

"This... will it be a bit difficult?"

Guibao Douluo frowned and said: "The Zhu family and the Star Luo Royal Family have always been one entity, because of that Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

Qin Jian shook his head and said: "If they push back too hard, then tell them that the next Head of Family will be the direct descendant of the Zhu family, Zhu Zhuqing."

Guibao Douluo: "..."
