Chapter 1269

Upon hearing Ximen Wudi's voice, Yang Jian spoke up respectfully.

Then, he slowly rose and retreated to the lower seat, standing still.

Yet the corner of his eye kept surveying his surroundings—clearly this Yang Jian's courage was far smaller.

After all, he was merely at the modest cultivation of Quasi-Saint First Layer, and facing a powerhouse at the Saint level, he was still panic-stricken.

However, those who came this time were not only Yang Jian alone.

1096 Kill without mercy!

1096 Kill without mercy!

Besides him and the Thunder Sea Saint King, there were several others, all at Quasi-Saint Fifth Layer cultivation, likewise top-tier experts under their command.

"These fellow Daoists are all my closest friends.

Today, I am going on campaign; you remain to guard the palace. If anyone dares to set a single foot inside the palace—kill without mercy!"

Ximen Wudi said flatly.

His voice was icy cold, without the slightest expression.

"This general obeys the decree!"

Upon hearing Ximen Wudi's voice, the men spoke up respectfully.

Then, one after another, they took their leave.

And after they had gone, Ximen Wudi's gaze turned to Yang Jian, who stood within the great tent, and he spoke.

"From today onward, you are responsible for garrisoning this place. If enemy forces invade, do not hold back—slay them all.

But you must also mind the defense!"

Upon hearing Ximen Wudi's voice, Yang Jian dared not delay and hurriedly spoke up.

"Yes, Your Majesty. This subordinate will keep strict watch!"

Once the words fell, he withdrew.

And just as Yang Jian had just stepped out of the great tent, Ximen Wudi called out.

"Cao Zhengchun!"

Upon hearing the voice, Cao Zhengchun, who stood to one side, hurriedly spoke up respectfully.

"Dispatch the Shadow Guards and have them keep a tight watch on every corner within the Eastern Extreme Heaven Province.

No matter which sect—even a powerhouse at Saint Seventh Layer—keep them under your dead gaze.

The moment any abnormality is discovered, kill them at any cost!"

Ximen Wudi said.

Thick killing intent burst from his eyes—since these people wished to seek their own deaths,

then sending them on their way would be no trouble at all!

"This general obeys the order!"

Upon hearing the voice, Cao Zhengchun dared not delay in the slightest and hurriedly spoke up.

Then, he withdrew.

And at this moment, elsewhere within the chaos, atop the Sun Star, it was extraordinarily lively.

It turned out that, under Ximen Wudi's orders, while Cao Zhengchun led the great army to encircle and suppress the alien races,

the Taichi Dao尊 had dispatched his two sons, Taiyin and Taiyang, to this great star.

As enshrined offerings of the Great Zhou, their strength was beyond doubt—beings at Saint Eighth Layer.

Now, with them stationed here, even the Chaos Demon Ape would not dare act recklessly.

After all, these Taiyin and Taiyang were the most beloved disciples of Ancestor Taichi.

Although in terms of cultivation resources they could not compare with Ximen Wudi, son of the Saint Emperor, their status was no small matter—even the Chaos Demon Ape had to treat them with caution.

Moreover, Ximen Wudi had now ascended the throne.

Having become the new Saint Hongjun, even the Chaos Demon Ape had to address him as senior brother.

Therefore, they naturally wished to throw in their lot with Ximen Wudi.

Now, they were already subjects of the Great Zhou.

Building cities upon this great star was no difficult task.

Especially after Taiyin and Taiyang joined, the task was completed with great speed.

Within a short span of time, one after another, grand and majestic cities stood upon the Sun Star.

Yet these alien races had no idea at all that they were about to face a calamity of utter destruction.

Not only did they not rein themselves in, they intensified their efforts.

They even began slaughtering cities and plundering strongholds.

In their view, the stronger Ximen Wudi's power within the Great Zhou,

the greater the benefits they would reap by seizing it.

So long as they conquered a single city, they would obtain massive gains.

Hence, they kept expanding without cease.

However, just as they had just occupied a city, a squad of burly great men came charging straight at them.

1097 Attack and subjugate the nearby cities

A fierce, blood-soaked aura radiated from their bodies, suffocating all who felt it.

Their eyes were crimson red, like evil ghosts walking out of purgatory.

A savage, bloodthirsty aura made one's heart tremble.

The leading general had even reached Saint Sixth Layer cultivation.

This time, it was precisely to slay some demon race members and earn merit that he chose to attack the nearby cities.

He hadn't expected these demon beasts to be so pathetically weak.

They were broken through in a single charge, and what was even stranger was that these fellows seemed to have no minds at all.

Their eyes were full of savage cruelty, killing anyone they saw.

"Squelch!"

A demon race expert, unable to dodge in time, had his skull crushed by his claw, a mist of blood drifting into the air.

"Haha, truly delicious!"

Gazing at that fresh blood, the burly man at the head spoke with excitement.

"General, these demon race members aren't all that strong — why bother going through the trouble of attacking?

It's simply a waste of time."

The adjutant at his side spoke up, somewhat puzzled.

He couldn't understand why his own General would do such a thing.

"Hmph, what do you know. Every one of these fellows carries a trace of an ancient Ao Jue's bloodline within them. If I devour them, it will be enough to push my strength up another level.

Moreover, such opportunities are far too rare. If I don't take advantage to plunder now, after some time passes, I'm afraid I won't be able to find them even if I wanted to!"

Upon hearing that vice-general's voice, the burly man at the head gave a cold snarl.

What he didn't know was that these ancient Giant Crocodiles were all livestock raised by Ximen Wudi.

If he were to find out, he'd probably regret it to his very guts.

"Bang!"

As a burst of explosive sound rang out, another demon race member was slain.

They kept roaming through the various cities, and whenever they encountered a city, they would begin a slaughter.

For a time, the entire Chaos Demon Ape race could be said to be in utter turmoil.

Even the great clans and tribes were panic-stricken and uneasy.

Who could have imagined that the dignified Chaos Demon Gods, the overlords of the Primordial Wilds,

would actually end up as meat on someone else's chopping block — how could they possibly accept this?

And just when everyone believed the Chaos Demon Ape race would be utterly annihilated in this calamity,

the other side suddenly mustered the most elite warriors from every race and tribe.

In mighty force, they charged off to slaughter those foreign races.
