Chapter 1270

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

The Chaos Demon Ape clan had ultimately lived in this primordial wilderness for hundreds of millions of years.

It had long since seeped into their very bones, so even when their clan leader perished,

not a single one was willing to betray.

Now, with a single decree from Ximen Wudi,

these infamous fierce beings of the primordial wilderness were all gathered together.

This left those foreign races with no chance of survival at all.

In an instant, they suffered heavy casualties.

But even so, no one retreated, still fighting desperately, hoping to escape.

However, before absolute strength,

they appeared incomparably fragile, utterly unable to match it.

After one round of assault, every member of the Chaos Demon Ape clan was bearing a heavy burden, collapsed on the ground.

As for those foreign races, they fled in utter disarray.

However, upon seeing those wounded who had been rescued,

a ferocious look crossed their faces, and they pounced to kill without the slightest hesitation.

In an instant, blood flowed like a river.

And this was merely the beginning.

After Ximen Wudi's decree was issued, nearly all the Sage realm generals of Great Zhou swarmed out, surrounding the surrounding cities so tightly that not a drop of water could leak through.

1098 suffered repeated defeats.

When they appeared, without a word spoken, they charged straight in to kill.

And those foreign races were also furious at this moment.

But now they had already lost the initiative—how could they possibly be opponents?

In an instant, they were beaten back step by step.

In a short time, the entire continent was controlled by Great Zhou's soldiers.

Everything was developing with extraordinary smoothness.

Only, at this moment, Ximen Wudi was unaware, sitting quietly upon the Long Yi.

In his mind, the system's voice kept transmitting.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host on completing the side quest: eliminating all foreign races on the continent. Reward: Summon Card ×1!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host on obtaining 500 Merit Points. Would you like to use them?"

Upon hearing the voice in his mind, the corner of Ximen Wudi's mouth curved into a smile.

He had not expected that within such a short time, he would obtain 500 Merit Points.

That was no small gain.

Then, he slowly said,

"System, use the Summon Card!"

The moment the words fell, a ball of Jin Guang appeared before his eyes.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host on a successful Summon Card, obtaining the Dongwanggong, requesting descent!"

When that Summon Card vanished,

a figure appeared before him.

This Dongwanggong was the Grand Preceptor of the Heavenly Court, his cultivation had long since reached the Ninth Layer of Quasi-Sage, and his combat power was extremely formidable.

His coming out of seclusion this time was precisely to carry out Ximen Wudi's decree.

His goal was to re-establish the Heavenly Court beyond the Chaos.

However, for those foreign races who had been beaten senseless,

this was indeed a nightmare. They had originally thought that the Chaos Demon Ape clan was already at its last gasp, and they only needed to wait one or two epochs before sending people themselves.

Then they could take them down.

They had not expected that within just a few short days, they would lose the majority of their experts.

Moreover, now they were surrounded, and even escape had become a luxury.

Although these foreign races were unruly and untamed, at this moment they were truly afraid.

Once they lost their shelter, they would undoubtedly die.

Therefore, outside a city gate, a group of foreign races knelt on the ground, trembling.

As long as those experts of the primordial wilderness did not leave, they would surely find it hard to escape death.

Therefore, they did not dare to make even the slightest move.

They could only await the pronouncement of fate.

"Your Majesty, these foreign races refuse to surrender!"

Huang Feihu stood beside Ximen Wudi and spoke respectfully.

Upon hearing the voice, Ximen Wudi's brow furrowed slightly, and he could not help but ask,

"They refuse to submit? Then kill them. Remember, leave one alive!"

Ximen Wudi said indifferently.

Once the words fell, he signaled Great Zhou's soldiers to surge toward those foreign races.

In an instant, the battle cries shook the heavens.

And at this moment, the Chaos Demon Ape clan had already gained the upper hand.

Over these years, having run rampant through these cities unchecked, now that he had finally turned the tables, he naturally had to take a vicious revenge.

The clash between the two sides could truly be said to have bloodshot their eyes with killing intent.

And at this moment, Ximen Wudi, seated upon Long Yi, had a face that was calm and unruffled, no one knowing what was on his mind.

However, just at this moment, a palanquin carriage appeared outside the great hall.

One saw upon it Yang Jian, clad in a golden robe, step down from the carriage and reverently prostrate himself at Ximen Wudi's feet.

"Your humble general pays his respects to Your Majesty!"

His voice carried a trace of reverence.

"My dear minister, no need for such ceremony. Rise and speak!"

Ximen Wudi spoke, opening his mouth.

"Many thanks to Your Majesty for the grace!"

Upon hearing the words, Yang Jian rose to his feet.

Then he continued, "Your Majesty, I observe that the guards at your palace gate are sparse and lax — this seems somewhat improper.

I have come specially to remind Your Majesty that it would still be best to deploy some troops!"

Yang Jian spoke, offering his counsel.

"I have my own plans. Rather, my dear minister — it is so late, yet you have not yet rested!"

Upon hearing the other's voice, Ximen Wudi spoke, opening his mouth.

A trace of surprise flickered in his eyes.

This Yang Jian was one of his most loyal ministers; ordinarily, he had never been this long-winded.

That he should break precedent this time truly made him feel it was strange.

"Your Majesty, of late your humble general has constantly had a feeling of unease — I fear some upheaval may occur, so it is still best to muster troops.

As for your humble general, if Your Majesty places trust in him, you may have him attend upon Your Majesty at your side!"

No sooner had Ximen Wudi's words fallen than Yang Jian spoke again, opening his mouth.

A steadfast gleam shone in his eyes.

Clearly, over these years his cultivation had increased by no small amount.

"Haha, since my dear minister has such a wish, then I shall take a trip with you!"
