Chapter 31

At this moment, a thought simultaneously emerged in the minds of several Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators.

That is, this person had hidden his cultivation; he was not in the Condensing Dan Realm, but in the King Realm!

Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why the opponent's single spirit technique shattered the Primordial Spirit Dharma Images of so many of them, and why the opponent's spiritual power pressure was so strong!

Damn it, I hate these guys who play the pig to eat the tiger the most. You're a King Realm expert pretending to be in the Condensing Dan Realm—are you sick?

The several Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators felt a wave of resentment in their hearts, but on the surface, they dared not show any dissatisfaction. They immediately bowed and spoke in unison with trembling voices.

"Greetings, Senior!"

"Greetings, Senior!"

……

Everyone around, seeing the performance of these Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators, felt a shock in their hearts and understood Han Yu's identity.

A King!

The battlefield, which had been fighting fiercely, suddenly went quiet; no one dared to make another move.

A King Realm powerhouse suppresses ten thousand troops.

If the opponent were angered, the hundred thousand people here wouldn't be enough for him to kill.

Han Yu instantly became the focus of the entire scene, and everyone's gaze turned toward him.

Zhao Hongying looked at Han Yu standing in front of Ji Yanling, her heart filled with shock and uncertainty.

"I remember this person seems to be the Princess's Senior Brother. I didn't expect him to actually be a King. No wonder the Princess relies on him so much."

"To have such strength, he is qualified to be the Princess's Senior Brother."

Ji Yanling also stared at her Senior Brother's back, unable to recover for a long time. Her cherry lips were slightly parted, and her eyes were full of astonishment.

"I didn't expect the system to be telling the truth. My Senior Brother is really strong—even stronger than I imagined!"

Ji Yanling had been in closed-door cultivation and had not interacted with other Youxian Sect disciples, so she knew nothing of what had happened to Han Yu.

She knew her Senior Brother was very capable, but she never expected him to be capable to this extent.

"Senior Brother can shatter several Primordial Spirit Dharma Images with one sword strike. No wonder he could kill me instantly in the Contrast Space back then. It seems that in terms of Qi Refining cultivation, I have also been left far behind by Senior Brother!"

"I dare say for certain that Senior Brother definitely possesses some kind of special physique, and it is at least Immortal Grade Low-Rank, otherwise he couldn't be this powerful!"

"Fortunately, fortunately, it is a good thing that the next comparison content is 【Sword Art】. I have the experience of my past life, so crushing Senior Brother in this aspect is not a difficult task."

"After all, no matter how good his talent is, the path must be walked step by step, while my past life's experience can be used right now; I only need my body to gradually adapt."

Ji Yanling's thoughts flew, and she let out a long sigh of relief.

She had gained a new understanding of her Senior Brother's monstrous nature.

Ji Yanling, who had always been confident, now felt a faint sense of inferiority for some reason.

Senior Brother is so outstanding; if she were too mediocre, she wouldn't be worthy of being his Junior Sister.

"I originally thought that having just obtained some opportunities in the Flame Mountain Secret Realm and raised my physique to Saint Grade Middle-Rank, I could compete with Senior Brother."

"Now it seems the gap between me and Senior Brother is unimaginably large. This bad Senior Brother, clearly so excessively strong, yet so low-key and reserved—truly hateful!"

In Ji Yanling's eyes, there was already a trace of resentment.

Meanwhile, Han Yu glanced at the several King Realm powerhouses and said indifferently: "Hand over your Life Souls, and you can live."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the several people changed drastically, and they exchanged glances repeatedly.

The Life Soul is the core of one's life and soul; once handed over to someone else, if the opponent destroys it, one will also die and disappear.

"Senior, we serve under the command of the Changfeng King. If Senior is willing to recruit us, we are also willing to serve you, but this Life Soul……"

Before this person could finish speaking, Han Yu's gaze pierced toward him like a sharp sword, and his voice was cold and chilling.

"You were the one who spoke disrespectfully to my Junior Sister just now, right?"

That person's whole body trembled, and he immediately explained.

"Senior, I didn't know she was your Junior Sister……"

Before his words were finished, Han Yu interrupted him immediately.

"Forgot to tell you, they can live if they hand over their Life Souls, but you must die!"

As soon as Han Yu's voice fell, a strand of spiritual power flicked from his fingertip, turning into a streak of light that shot directly into the center of the Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator's brow.

That person didn't even react before his protective spirit technique was shattered, and a blood hole suddenly appeared in the center of his brow, with blood spraying out.

Everyone who saw this scene felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

Strong!

Too strong!

Without even casting a spirit technique, a sliver of spiritual power could kill a Primordial Spirit Realm expert.

This is definitely not an ordinary King Realm powerhouse; he is at least in the King Realm Third Heaven or above!

Moreover, they had all brought up the Changfeng King, yet this person remained completely fearless, showing that he is truly not to be trifled with.

The several people dared not hesitate and immediately made their choice.

They pressed their fingers together against their brows, and a red and blue light cluster emerged.

"Senior, we are willing to follow you!"

The four of them were respectful in demeanor, and Han Yu waved his hand casually, causing those Life Soul clusters to land in front of Zhao Hongying.

"From now on, these people can be used by you. If there is any disobedience, you can destroy them at any time."

Han Yu's voice was cold, and the several Primordial Spirit Realm experts showed complex expressions.

They were Primordial Spirit Realm powerhouses; how could they suffer such humiliation? They wanted to resist, but after thinking about it, they endured it—preserving their lives was the priority.

Looking at the Life Soul clusters in front of her, Zhao Hongying was slightly stunned. She didn't dare to accept them casually, but instead looked at Ji Yanling.

Ji Yanling saw her hesitation, nodded, and said softly.

"Do everything according to what my Senior Brother said."

"As you command!"

Zhao Hongying said no more and took the Life Soul clusters into her own dantian.

With the several great Primordial Spirit Realm powerhouses subdued, the soldiers below suddenly didn't know where to go.

Zhao Hongying immediately stood on the city wall and used the Echo Technique to shout.

"Soldiers, the current Country Lord is muddle-headed, harming the loyal and good, persecuting the people, leading to chaos in the dynasty and displacing the populace. My Zhao family formed the Red-Clad Army to end the chaotic times and return peace to the Chihuo Dynasty!"

"I know that all of you joined this war out of helplessness. As long as you lay down your weapons now, you are not enemies, and everything can be forgiven."

"Afterward, you can choose to join the Red-Clad Army, or you can choose to go home; we will not stop you in any way."

……

Under Zhao Hongying's impassioned speech, most of the soldiers chose to surrender.

It wasn't that Zhao Hongying's words were so inflammatory; it was mainly because the image of Han Yu destroying several Primordial Spirit Dharma Images with one sword was too shocking.

Coupled with the corruption of the dynasty for several generations, which made life miserable for the people, these soldiers didn't have much loyalty to the Chihuo Dynasty, so no one was stupid enough to put up a desperate fight.

Zhao Hongying chatted with the two for a few words, then had someone take Han Yu and Ji Yanling to the City Lord's Mansion to rest, while she busied herself with handling various matters.

Han Yu and Ji Yanling drank tea in the living room for a long time. After a long while, Zhao Hongying finally came to them, panting.

"Princess, Uncle-Master Han, I have found some news about the person you are looking for."

Han Yu didn't expect Zhao Hongying's efficiency to be so high, and he felt a bit more appreciation for this young girl.

"Currently, several great Kings within the Chihuo Dynasty have each carved out their own territories. That Ji Bochang serves under the Qinghuo King!"

"Here is all the intelligence regarding the Qinghuo King. Please take your time to look, Uncle-Master Han."

Zhao Hongying was very respectful toward Han Yu; she was still considered a disciple of Tianhuo Peak, so calling Han Yu 'Uncle-Master' was not inappropriate.

Ji Yanling heard that Ji Bochang had a King backing him and couldn't help but feel worried. Even if her Senior Brother had the strength of the King Realm, she didn't want him to take risks.

"Senior Brother, why don't we put this person's matter aside for now?"

Han Yu smiled and spoke slowly.

"It's fine, you don't need to worry about this matter; Senior Brother will handle it himself. As long as we know that person's whereabouts, everything will be easy to handle."

He prepared to find time to go directly to the Qinghuo King's territory and kill that flower-picking thief named Ji Bochang.

He wouldn't take Ji Yanling along for this process, to prevent any accidents.

Han Yu's physical body was formidable and he wasn't afraid of King Realm attacks, but Ji Yanling was another matter.

Hearing the confidence in her Senior Brother's words, Ji Yanling couldn't help but think that Senior Brother must have his own trump cards, so she said no more.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongying thought for a moment and still spoke up.

"Princess, forgive me for being blunt, but you shouldn't stay in the Chihuo Dynasty for long. The Dayan Imperial Dynasty definitely still harbors evil intentions toward you. Among the several great Kings of the Chihuo Dynasty, at least half are running dogs of the Dayan Imperial Dynasty."

"Now that they know the news of your arrival here, perhaps someone will secretly make a move against you!"
