Chapter 90

Report! Enemy forces are advancing along the entire front of the Eastern Wasteland!

Inside the Demon Emperor Palace on Shouyang Mountain, a piece of news left everyone staring at each other in shock:

Di Jiang…… He's gone mad……

Is he crazy? If that 800,000-strong Wu‑demon allied army goes on a killing spree in the Eastern Wasteland, Di Jiang will incur monstrous karmic retribution!

Xuandu, who had already been designated as half an heir, couldn't help but start cursing.

Di Jiang's move caught everyone off guard, for according to the unwritten rules of the primordial era, if the high‑level battlefield is decided, the defeated side's middle and lower ranks, even if they have the advantage, should surrender immediately.

At this moment, Di Jiang was calculating how many casualties this battle could inflict on Shouyang Mountain when, upon hearing that the army had defected, he was stunned: slaves and cannon fodder, dare to bite their master?

Only those who are Taiyi Golden Immortals or above are qualified to be housed in Ao Guang's high‑grade prisoner‑of‑war camp!

"Next, good!"

Actually, killing them wouldn't matter; after all, humans are even more outrageous than the Wu Clan—even if slaughtering them brings monstrous karma, even sages wouldn't dare intervene……

"9527……"

This long line of prisoners with grim faces naturally consisted of the high‑ranking heavenly officials selected from the 800,000 Wu‑demon allied army after this battle completely shattered Di Jiang's main camp.

Nonsense, if you can't fight back you should run—do you really want to be captured?!

And yet, despite the upper echelon's defeat, Di Jiang still forced the middle and lower ranks to keep fighting—truly a breach of martial virtue!

Jin Bing was about to laugh and agree, but suddenly several people walked forward with strained expressions:

"You don't need to act; we…… are willing to go persuade them to surrender!"

Tianquan Star Lord silently recited it a few times, thus committing it to memory.

You don't have to die, I don't have to incur extra karma—win‑win, isn't that wonderful?

Whatever can be concealed, we should still try to conceal it……

Ao Guang, bearing the air of a prison warden, sat smugly at the entrance of the prisoner‑of‑war camp, gazing at the long line of several hundred high‑ranking prisoners before him—how delightful!

While everyone was furious at Di Jiang's mad behavior, a heavenly official proposed:

Jin Bing looked at them in astonishment; these were precisely the captured Taiyi Star Lords, Wuqu Star Lords, Shangyang demon commanders, and other high‑ranking heavenly officials of the Supreme Heavenly Court!

They no longer reside in the prisoner‑of‑war camp; after clearly surrendering resistance, although Jin Bing did not restore their three flowers and five qi, he still allowed them to move relatively freely within the Shouyang Mountain region—this also lets them see exactly how the rule of the Egalitarian Heavenly Court compares to that of the Supreme Heavenly Court.

"Yuheng Star Lord, peak of the Great Luo realm."

Jin Bing also thought it fine; Di Jiang's crazy‑looking tactic seemed troublesome, but once the Great Luo Golden Immortals had decided the outcome, it was easy to capture them all!

"Tianquan Star Lord!"

Jin Bing also glanced at him, thinking:

In this battle, the Egalitarian Heavenly Court won a total victory; under the wise command of the Demon Emperor, we not only secured a complete triumph on the Great Luo battlefield but also captured 800,000 Xuan immortals and above in one fell swoop.

But what good is that? Aren't they still here?

Prisoner‑of‑war camp.

……

"Capture Di Jiang alive!"

Hmph!

The Taiyi Star Lords and others went straight into the enemy army, declared their identities, first denounced Di Jiang for treating the lives of the great army as a child's play, letting the troops realize they had been abandoned and should not die pointlessly.

Rebels! All rebelled!

Di Jiang flew into a rage, instinctively wanting to strike down these audacious slaves who dared to bite their master, but……

"Next!"

This development exceeded Di Jiang's expectations, so he hurriedly observed the situation across the entire battlefield.

Ao Guang felt contempt in his heart and asked:

"What position?"

Now that they voluntarily requested to persuade surrender, Jin Bing naturally agreed gladly.

Actually, there's no need to ask—the seven Beidou Star Lords are all peak Great Luo; they're basically the strongest fighters below the Heavenly Court's quasi‑sages, and since even Tianquan Star Lord was captured, that means Yang Star Lord is soon to follow……

"We can let the Great Luo Golden Immortals act and capture the entire enemy army alive!"

"Troublesome? That doesn't exist!"

"Then as……"

No matter how powerful your cultivation or how high your rank, you still have to line up obediently and wait for me to register you!

This is a mighty cultivator with a sharp aura; though a prisoner, he remains arrogantly proud, obviously of high status!

"Peak Great Luo!"

As expected, the defecting allied forces and the great army of Shouyang Mountain are roaring as they charge toward his main camp!

Thus, under the Star Lords' persuasion to surrender, the morale of the 800,000 Wu‑demon allied army collapsed rapidly, and before long they all defected……

The astonished Tianquan Star Lord guessed inwardly, but kept his expression unchanged and strode into the prisoner‑of‑war camp……

"Di Jiang, you dog!"

They are all Taiyi Golden Immortals on average; once esteemed in the Heavenly Court, they now can only become common prisoners, awaiting Ao Guang's registration so they may formally enter the prisoner‑of‑war camp……

Then Ao Guang slapped a dragon‑shaped talisman onto him; in the next instant, Tianquan Star Lord's body went limp and his three flowers and five qi were completely sealed!

"Must be the old loach of the Eastern Sea's doing……"

Ao Guang solemnly registered him:

"Remember your number: 9527!"

This proposal gained everyone's approval; although the enemy forces average Xuan immortals, with many Golden Immortals and even Taiyi Golden Immortals, as long as the Great Luo act, capturing them all alive is feasible.

And when the other Wu troops heard this, their morale also fell into chaos; the twelve divisions of Mount Buzhou had already been emptied nine‑tenths by Hou Yi and company, so these Wu troops were originally conscripted by Di Jiang, hardly anyone wanted to fight, and even if they did, it was for merit, not meaningless death.

"Kaiyang Star Lord, peak Great Luo."

That person snorted coldly.

Next one, good!

Several Heavenly Officials can discern right from wrong and great righteousness; that is certainly a good thing; since it is so, then please take the trouble...

【...】

The Heavenly Court's monster army first recognized these old superiors, and upon realizing Di Jiang's vicious plot to use them as cannon fodder, it immediately exploded!

But while that's the reasoning, we can't actually do that, nor can we casually leak the fact that the human race can obtain a kill‑without‑karmic‑debt writ; after all, a large group of people having obtained such a writ would frighten anyone.

Next one...

【"Kill!"】

Xuan Du choked up at once, but the anxiety on his face did not lessen in the slightest.

They can kill without karmic debt, but we would incur it! If we don't kill these eight hundred thousand people, the Eastern Wasteland will surely be bathed in blood; if we kill them…

Ao Guang finished registering another, shouted, and the next prisoner of war stepped forward.

Next one! Position? Cultivation level?

This…

Xuan Du cursed like that, while Ao Guang glanced at him from the side.

You forgot? The Wu Clan incurs no karmic debt from killing.

【Di Jiang angrily put down his hand, then took the remaining forty-something Great Witches who stared at each other, and fled…】

Ao Guang's buttocks twitched instantly, his face turned solemn—this person is none other than one of the Big Dipper Seven Great Star Lords, an absolute heavyweight figure of the Heavenly Court!

Cultivation level?

【A full-fledged Quasi‑Sage, if he were really caught by a bunch of little things and made a prisoner, that would truly be a huge joke—enough to nail Di Jiang to the Pillar of Shame until the Primordial Wasteland's end…】

Well then, all seven of the Big Dipper Seven Great Star Lords have been captured here!

Great Chieftain, invincible! Long live the Monster Emperor!
