Chapter 1113

That day, violent winds and turbid waves frenziedly struck Wa Island.

Wu Tie brought Pei Feng, Bai Ying, Zhu Ji, Jing Long, Blood Prison, plus Old Iron, plus a host of civil and military officials, plus many members of the Wu clan, forming their own group, standing at a distance, gazing at the execution platform set up on the highest peak of Wa Island.

The high-ranking human commoners likewise brought elders, chiefs, and elite juniors from their own clans, forming their own ranks, watching from afar.

Gong Sun Jun, Qing Ning, and 'Gong Sun Yao', together with their related clansmen, followers, and the human high-ranking figures deeply involved with this family, were all trussed up and sent to the execution ground.

Qing Ning glanced at Wu Tie from afar.

Wu Tie nodded slowly.

On Qing Ning's face appeared a complex smile mixed with mockery and ease.

Perhaps she was mocking the human commoners for being oblivious to their impending death, while at the same time feeling reassured that Wu Tie had fulfilled his promise?

She didn't even glance at 'Gong Sun Yao' beside her; after receiving Wu Tie's confirmation, her gaze never left Gong Sun Jun, sticking tightly to him.

Gong Sun Jun, sensing something, turned his head and gave her a faint smile.

"I'm a bit disappointed, after all the effort fell short…… but I have no regrets." Gong Sun Jun said calmly, addressing Qing Ning publicly: "Back then, I actually knew…… you have taken good care of me these years, but I am not the gentle, jade-like gentleman you imagined; I have known that for a long time."

Qing Ning laughed, she had always treated Gong Sun Jun like a big child.

She had always thought he didn't know.

But he actually knew?

So she hadn't loved the wrong person, right? Even if Gong Sun Jun was a bit scheming, she should have loved the right person, right?

Their complex emotions were now ignored; the tied-up Gong Sun Jun faction of the Gong Sun clan, many people hysterically hurled abuse at Gong Sun Jun.

The shouting was unpleasant, nothing more than accusations of colluding with demons, mistakenly marrying a witch, harming the entire clan, and so on.

Those who had been extremely close to the Gong Sun family in daily life, using the family's power to gain countless benefits, the followers—or so-called 'friends'—burst into tears, wailing to the high-ranking figures of all clans present that they had been deceived and tricked, hysterically trying to prove their utter loyalty, claiming they were innocent!

Where is there any innocence?

At the command of the three clan chiefs of Shennong, Suiren, and Zhuanxu, who were overseeing the execution, experts from the Wu clan's main line came forward carrying Wu blades and cleanly executed these criminals one by one.

This Wu blade of the Wu clan's main line, passed down from the ancient divine war era, had been warmed by secret arts for who knows how many years, passing through countless mighty hands within the Wu clan.

With one slash, myriad Wu curse secret arts erupted all at once.

Flesh and bone vanished, spirit and soul annihilated.

The wailing, lamenting, pleading, and cursing echoed continuously on Wa Island's highest peak for over eight hours, after which the Wu clan's executioners completed the punishment of Gong Sun Jun's faction.

Wu Tie, with his own relatives and subordinates, had already left after Gong Sun Jun and Qing Ning were beheaded.

What happened afterward had little to do with Wu Tie.

Wa Island declined; the last great matriarch Wa Qing'er died under the Wu clan executioners' blades; Xi Valley utterly collapsed, all its masters were beheaded, and the Heavenly Dao Cavern was completely destroyed.

The major affairs of a state are nothing but sacrifice and war.

The Wa clan handled sacrifices, the Xi clan handled war; the two great leader clans of humanity utterly declined, and the high-ranking human commoners took the stage.

Wu Tie returned to Wudu with a large entourage; Wu Zhan, Wa Mu, together with elders like Wu Yu, had already been bustling in Wudu preparing Wu Tie's grand wedding, while the officials of Wuguo versed in ancient rites bustled about frantically.

Seven days after the great execution on Wa Island, the twelve commanders of the Hidden Dragon Army simultaneously visited Wu Tie to pay their respects.

After a secret discussion, the twelve commanders of the Hidden Dragon Army, leading their elite troops, withdrew from Wa Island and formally declared the Hidden Dragon Army a special forces unit directly under King Wu Wu Tie, henceforth obeying only Wu Tie's commands.

The high-ranking human commoners were indifferent to this.

Wu Tie's Wuguo merely occupied the hunting grounds and battlefields of the human territories on Mu Dalu.

Yet the true essence and richness of humanity today lie in the various Destiny Fields. The strongest clans and largest tribes of human commoners, those mighty beings who are reborn life after life, often take refuge in the Destiny Fields.

Regardless of territorial size, total population, cultivation environment, resource levels, or even the proportion of elite geniuses, the great Destiny Fields far surpass the outer hunting grounds and battlefields.

Wu Tie's Wuguo army merely guarded those hunting grounds and battlefields, never stepping half a step toward the Destiny Fields.

Wu Tie further issued an edict to the world—Wuguo's army shall never actively set foot on a Destiny Field; if they violate this oath, heavenly punishment and earthly annihilation will follow.

Thus, the heart that had been lodged in the throats of the high-ranking human commoners finally settled at ease.

Thus, in the second year after the great execution on Wa Island, during the beautiful spring of March, when Wu Tie married Pei Feng, Bai Ying, and Zhu Ji, the human commoners frequently brought large entourages uninvited, presenting Wu Tie with extremely lavish gifts.

Wu Tie, following the good flow, gladly accepted these heavy gifts from the human commoners, and at the same time signed peace treaties with them individually.

Wu Tie pledged that Wuguo's army would never actively attack the human commoners, nor would it send a single soldier to assist any human clan in attacking others.

Wu Tie further promised that Wuguo would not sell any large weapons or military equipment to the human commoners, not even an arrowhead.

However, Wuguo may sell various elixirs to the human commoners without restriction.

By this point, Wu Tie and all of Wuguo, up and down, had already sensed a gloomy atmosphere portending an impending storm.

As for this, Wu Tie paid it no heed at all.

After the wedding, Wu Tie took Pei Feng, Bai Ying, and Zhu Ji straight to the mountains and forests of Dazezhou, touring and enjoying the scenery, and even took time to return to the subterranean world of Fuxi's Divine Kingdom, starting from the ancient Wu Valley's little stone fortress and wandering about.

By the time Wu Tie and the three women had exhausted their interest, it was already about half a year after the wedding.

What delighted the entire Wuguo, up and down, was that when Wu Tie returned to Wudu with Pei Feng, Bai Ying, and Zhu Ji, all three women were pregnant.

Elder Wu Yu and the other Wu clan elders directly used secret arts to observe the qi, joyfully announcing to all of Wuguo that the three women's wombs contained only male offspring, and their talents were extraordinarily fearsome; according to their growth rate, they might need to gestate for a hundred years in the womb before being born.

One Wu clan elder proudly bragged—"These three sons all bear the appearance of ancient sages!"

While the Wu clan elders were busy boasting outwardly, Wu Tie arrived at the Tianjing Battle Star and lifted the greatest divine formation seal within it.
