Chapter 1373

He walked directly toward the surroundings.

"Your Majesty!"

After seeing Ximen Wudi.

Everyone knelt to the ground.

Especially the common folk, who were ecstatic.

And on the other side.

The elder of Jin Lingzong, at this moment, had a venomous look in his eyes.

He never expected Jin Hong would die here.

"Han Emperor, you killed my sect master—I cannot coexist with you under the same sky.

Today, I'll make you die with me!"

The voice carried a shrill, mournful tone.

But Ximen Wudi's face showed contempt.

He spoke softly.

"You're not worthy!"

As his words ended, he stepped forward.

"Roar!"

Long Xiang roared.

One punch came down.

The elder's body was smashed backward in an instant.

Then he crashed onto the ground.

Blood gushed from his mouth and nose, his eyes filled with terror.

But before he could rise.

Ximen Wudi grabbed him by the neck.

Then a chilling voice rang out.

"Jin Lingzong has done wrong.

It must pay the price!"

As soon as his words ended,

He twisted the elder's neck until it broke.

This scene was brutally cruel.

Yet the people within the city dared not speak a word.

After all, even their sect master had been slain.

How could they dare open their mouths?

At this moment, they wished to worship Ximen Wudi as their ancestor.

And right after Ximen Wudi killed the Jin Lingzong elder,

Cao Zhengchun led his troops to surround them.

They arrived with incredible speed.

In the blink of an eye, they had completely encircled Jin Lingzong.

"Your Majesty, your humble general has not failed you!"

Cao Zhengchun said with a smile.

And upon seeing this scene,

Ximen Wudi's face showed satisfaction.

He barked out.

"Cao Aiqing, you've worked hard.

From now on, Jin Lingzong shall submit to me.

Remember, treat these common folk well!"

Ximen Wudi instructed.

He knew these common folk had suffered oppression for years.

If they couldn't live in peace, unrest would easily arise.

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhengchun was stunned—he hadn't expected Ximen Wudi to make such a decision.

Yet he dared not delay.

He immediately said:

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

As soon as his words ended,

The former Jin Lingzong disciples dared not hesitate.

Eyes bulging with rage,

They swiftly changed Jin Lingzong into a territory under Han rule.

Within just a few months, they fully absorbed Jin Lingzong.

This sudden change made the former bigwigs' eyes bulge with rage.

They never expected they had lost.

And worse—they lost so miserably.

However, Ximen Wudi paid no attention at all.

Now, he sat within the main camp.

Waiting for the reinforcements of Jin Lingzong to arrive.

Only, while they held off the Great Han army,

the leaders of the various clans had also received the news.

Inside an ancient, unadorned palace,

a man in a black robe sat quietly upon Wang Zuo.

A savage look appeared on his face.

"Hahaha, that useless Jin Hong—

to think he was slain by a man of Great Han.

Worthy of being a man of my Black Water Imperial Dynasty.

However, this time, my Black Water clan will not let slip the chance again.

Jin Lingzong must be destroyed.

Though this Jin Hong is useless,

the sect master of Jin Lingzong, Jin Yang, is truly beautiful and alluring.

If taken to serve in bed,

I might consider sparing the others.

As for Jin Hong—hmph!"

After speaking, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

A jade talisman appeared in his hand,

displaying the other's aura.

Then he spoke:

"Reveal Jin Yang's whereabouts to me—this is your reward.

Remember, there must be no mistake!"

After his voice fell,

a look of pleasant surprise appeared on the black-robed man's face.

He said deferentially,

"Thank you, Young Master. Your subordinate understands."
