Chapter 396: A Complete Victory

The white-bearded old man of the Sang Kingdom looked up at the sky and laughed wildly.

The five great noble families of the Great Xia and the Hidden Dragon Shadow Guards had all been lured to the front, so the rear of the Great Xia must surely be empty.

When the time came for the soul bodies within the Sacrificial God Prison to sweep out, who could stop them? Who could resist them?

Moreover, the Demon race had already stated that as long as they could tear open the Great Xia's defensive line, the Demon army would press down upon the border and wipe out the Great Xia once and for all!

In his view, the Great Xia was already finished!

The expressions of Xie Hong and the other heads of the noble families changed instantly.

People from the Sang Kingdom had actually infiltrated the Heaven-Refining Secret Realm, and they, these people, had been completely unaware?

Either the methods of the Sang Kingdom people were too brilliant... or... there was a mole within the five great noble families!

Whether it was the former or the latter, it was enough to make their backs feel cold.

One had to know that those who entered the Heaven-Refining Secret Realm were the strongest batch of geniuses under the age of 30 from their five great noble families.

If they all died inside the Heaven-Refining Secret Realm, then their five great noble families would have their generational succession directly severed!

Even in the eyes of the Emperor, a trace of worry appeared.

"Hehehe, open your eyes wide and watch, watch how the heroic souls in my Sacrificial God Prison feast within your Great Xia borders!"

The white-bearded old man took out a bronze mirror; this was one of the three great national treasures of the Sang Kingdom, the Eight-Span Bronze Mirror!

The mirror surface flickered, and the scene at the exit of the Heaven-Refining Secret Realm was projected in its entirety.

Following the killing of the Spirit Mother, the exit of the Heaven-Refining Secret Realm had long since reopened.

Yet, after a long time, no one had appeared at the exit.

The hearts of everyone in the Great Xia skipped a beat and sank to the bottom of the sea; could it be that, just as the white-bearded old man of the Sang Kingdom said, everyone in the secret realm had been slaughtered?

After waiting for a long time, people finally began to emerge from the Heaven-Refining Secret Realm one after another!

However, those who emerged all had panicked expressions and terrified faces, as if something extremely terrifying was chasing them from behind!

Some were even so scared that they fell flat on the ground, scrambling forward on all fours like mad dogs, fearing they would be too slow.

The exit of the Heaven-Refining Secret Realm was a complete scene of a great escape.

And as more and more people ran out, a translucent soul body popped its head out!

Following that was a second, a third, and a fourth!

These soul bodies that appeared were extremely ferocious; they would drag anyone they caught directly into the secret realm, and ordinary class-transferred individuals had no chance to resist at all.

"Hahahaha! My Great Sang Empire is the strongest of the human race! Submit beneath the feet of my Great Sang!"

Seeing those soul bodies, the white-bearded old man laughed arrogantly and wildly.

Their Great Sang Empire's plan had completely succeeded!

Everyone present had ashen faces, save for the Emperor, whose expression was somewhat strange; he seemed to have guessed something, yet was vaguely uncertain.

As the dense mass of soul bodies rushed out from the Heaven-Refining Secret Realm, Ye Lin, carrying a large banner, also drilled out from the exit of the Heaven-Refining Secret Realm.

"Come play, big brother~ This banner of mine is full of girls, JK lolis, black-stocking royal sisters, hip-hugging skirt young matrons, we have everything~"

Ye Lin wore a kind smile on his face, revealing a row of white teeth.

And those soul bodies were catching people and dragging them straight into the Human Emperor Flag.

The white-bearded old man was dumbfounded.

The people of the five great noble families were dumbfounded.

The people of the Hidden Dragon Shadow Guards were also dumbfounded.

Good news: those soul bodies were on their Great Xia side.

Bad news: there really were soul bodies slaughtering wantonly inside the Heaven-Refining Secret Realm.

"This beast!"

The Emperor was caught between laughter and tears; seeing this scene, how could he not know what had happened?

Clearly, those soul bodies from the Sang Kingdom's Sacrificial God Prison had all been packed up by Ye Lin and sent into the Human Emperor Flag as free labor.

But after finishing off the people from the Sang Kingdom, this guy hadn't thought about letting off the other class-transferred individuals inside either.

"This is impossible! This is impossible!"

The white-bearded old man's eyes were filled with red bloodshot veins, staring fixedly at Ye Lin inside the Eight-Span Bronze Mirror; the Sacrificial God Prison that their Sang Kingdom had spent so much time, manpower, and material resources to cultivate had actually been packed up and taken away by someone?

What kind of joke was this?

Seeing that there were no problems in the rear, the people of the Great Xia breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't dare to relax completely.

Especially the people of the five great noble families; they were all very worried now about whether the geniuses from their families who entered the Heaven-Refining Secret Realm were alright, as this guy Ye Lin didn't look like someone who would hold back against them.

Meanwhile, Ye Yutian's expression was somewhat gloomy; that Ye Lin could still appear alive and kicking only meant that Ye Haiquan and the others had all failed.

The most relaxed person here had to be Xie Hong.

His mood right now was just like having gone all-in on the A-shares in September; it was wonderful.

No matter how much of a beast Ye Lin was, he couldn't possibly kill his own Xie family members, right? His daughter had already married Ye Lin.

"It seems your Sang Kingdom's plan has failed."

The Emperor spoke indifferently, his gaze toward the Sang Kingdom people containing undisguised killing intent.

"Attack! Since they dared to come, don't let them go back!"

Following the Emperor's order, the people of the Great Xia, having no more worries behind them, charged directly toward the class-transferred individuals of the Sang Kingdom!

On the other hand, the Sang Kingdom side, seeing the Sacrificial God Prison taken away in one fell swoop, was already in a state of mental chaos.

With one side gaining and the other losing, this was a completely one-sided slaughter!

The Golden Emperor, who was fighting Dongfang Su, glanced at the scene below and snorted coldly.

"The human race is indeed a bunch of trash, useless for anything major!"

A pair of purple eyes looked toward Dongfang Su.

"You are different from those pieces of trash; I am very interested in you. Next time we meet, I will cut off your head to use as my trophy!"

Responding to him was a wild and domineering blade strike from Dongfang Su!

However, seeing the Sang Kingdom's failure, the Golden Emperor clearly had no intention to continue the fight and withdrew to retreat.

Facing a Demon Emperor who was determined to leave, Dongfang Su could not keep the opponent there.

Once the Golden Emperor left, the Sang Kingdom side collapsed like a mountain, abandoning their armor and weapons.

The white-bearded old man's face was ashen, and he could only shout loudly.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

Once these words were spoken, the Sang Kingdom class-transferred individuals, who had already lost their will to fight, turned and fled without the slightest hesitation.

As majestic as they were when they arrived, they were just as wretched now as they ran.

Only after chasing for over a hundred kilometers did the Emperor stop everyone.

"Stop chasing; our true enemy is not the Sang Kingdom. They are not yet worth us going to such great lengths."

The Emperor's gaze looked into the distance, where demonic energy was steaming.

If they really dared to continue chasing the Sang Kingdom people deep into their territory, the Demon race would certainly take the opportunity to act.

In this battle, nearly half of the Sang Kingdom class-transferred individuals brought by the white-bearded old man were left here forever, which could be called a heavy blow to their vitality.

And although there were people injured on their Great Xia side, not a single person had died; this battle was already a complete victory for them.

Even though they had won the battle, there was not the slightest joy in the Emperor's eyes; he knew very well who the true enemy of the Great Xia was.

Those guys were still hiding behind the scenes, biding their time.

"The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is filling the pavilion..."
