Chapter 937: Chapter 938: Surrendered in Fear

Within the Sea Spiral Star Domain, located in the Saint Institute Star System, a hidden Netherworld Clan was staring at the news they had just received.

“Sir is actually dead, how is that possible?”

“Defeat for the Hundred Battle Alliance is certain, rumors of the Hundred Battle Emperor’s death, this…”

After receiving the news, this Netherworld Clan obviously couldn’t believe it. Hundreds of people in the room all looked at him with grave expressions.

Not to mention Yan Wudi, even the lord who acted alongside him had exceptional strength. In this Sea Spiral Star Domain, it seemed impossible for anyone to be his match.

This time, the battle between the Hundred Battle Alliance and the Huaxia Empire, in their eyes, that so-called Huaxia Empire was simply overreaching. With the Netherworld Clan secretly assisting them, how could the other side possibly be their opponent?

Unfortunately, they did not know that the vanguard squad sent by their clan was already wiped out completely by the Huaxia Empire.

If they knew this, they definitely wouldn’t dare to boast like this.

Sadly, the facts now placed in front of him likely indicated the truth: Sir truly was dead.

“How is that possible, it shouldn’t be.” The member of the Netherworld Clan shook his head, evidently unable to comprehend.

But when he raised his head again, he found his clansmen looking towards him in shock, as if something unbelievable had happened.

“What, is it hard for you to believe such a thing?” The next second, a light and airy voice sounded in his ear. A hand rested on his shoulder, and a human man blandly sat next to him, as if they were old friends not seen for many years.

He dared not move, only able to watch helplessly as the other picked up the empty teacup on the table, poured himself a cup, and drank it like wine.

The man smacked his lips, nodding slightly, “The taste is quite good. What’s this spiritual tea called?”

“Native… Native Tea.” For some reason, the Netherworld Clan blurted out the name of the tea, “It’s just ordinary spiritual tea from our hometown, so it’s called Native Tea.”

“Yes, hometown is great.” The man nodded, keeping his hand on the other’s shoulder. The Fish Intestine Sword emitted a dim purple light, hovering around his throat, “Then why don’t you stay in your own hometown, running around someone else’s territory to plot and scheme— what are you trying to achieve?”

The Netherworld Clan member couldn’t help but swallow, remaining silent, just stiffly looking towards the man.

“Never mind, you probably can’t say why. Talking leads to death anyway, perhaps it’s a heart demon oath or something.” Looking at the Netherworld Clan member, Jing Ke shrugged and withdrew the Fish Intestine Sword.

But as he withdrew, he accidentally slit the other’s throat, and accidentally obliterated his soul.

Bang! Bang!

The hundreds of Netherworld Clan members in the room also fell dead with a thud, with no more breath. Dark figures emerged from the shadows; it was Night Shadow, the assassination team led by Jing Ke.

After collecting a few representative corpses and spoils of war, Jing Ke led his men away.

“Native Tea?” Within the National War Hall, Lin Qian was naturally aware of the situation on Jing Ke’s side. Hearing the Netherworld Clan’s words, he found it very interesting, “One day, the Native Tea of your Netherworld Clan will become an imperial specialty.”

The team led by Jing Ke that eradicated the Netherworld Clan was already the last batch. Besides them, there were no more Netherworld Clan members within the Sea Spiral Star Domain.

The conflict on the Hundred Battle Alliance’s side was also stabilized at the fastest speed, and the news of Yan Wudi’s death spread quickly. The life token was shattered, such a thing could not be concealed.

Not only that, but the deaths of leaders of major forces like the Huaqiong Empire, the Hard Clan, and the Beast Taming Sect were gradually having a broader impact.

Within their forces, these people were spiritual pillars, the peak individuals, and their deaths naturally led to mental collapses and loss of direction.

As the saying goes, a group of dragons cannot be without a head, especially not when facing a great enemy.

The Execution Immortal Sword’s formation killed these people, allowing the Huaxia Empire’s affairs to progress more smoothly.

Few resisted stubbornly; most forces had already surrendered, announcing their merger into the Huaxia Empire, but some persisted to the end, forcing the Huaxia Empire to crush them head-on.

Lin Qian in the National War Hall grew increasingly relaxed, at the end simply monitoring the development of the battle, not needing to personally command anymore.

Especially Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, who began competing with each other, seeing who could conquer more territories faster.

However, now, Yang Jian was obviously taking a big lead.

In terms of peak battle power data from previous generation’s games, Sun Wukong’s individual combat power was indeed stronger than Yang Jian.

But when it came to leading troops in battle, Yang Jian’s combat ability was even stronger, with abilities greatly beneficial for commanding armies.

“Speaking of which, after this battle, the entire Sea Spiral Star Domain will be mine, how can the Sea Spiral Holy Institute still compete for the Saint mission?” Thinking of this, Lin Qian couldn’t help but laugh; by then, all students of the Sea Spiral Holy Institute would probably address him as His Majesty.

Could it be that before the Holy Institute battle begins, they would have to call him His Majesty before they start fighting?

“No, even if they deliberately concede, it’s not because my master intervened, it’s entirely my own governance of the Sea Spiral Star Domain, so what does it matter.” Lin Qian thought of this, also feeling relieved.

For the Saint mission, Wei Wushuang could not interfere in any matter to assist Lin Qian.

The unification of the Sea Spiral Star Domain was fought by the Huaxia Empire; Wei Wushuang did not directly make a move.

When it came time for the Saint mission, it was naturally Lin Qian’s own skills at play, unrelated to Wei Wushuang.

Thus, the difficulty of the Saint mission was practically nonexistent, easily attainable for Lin Qian.

After this battle, the strength of the external Huaxia Empire would rapidly increase.

Unifying the entire Sea Spiral Star Domain was not just about territories; even the Sea Spiral Holy Institute or the Saint Institute Star System would belong to Lin Qian.

In the past, Wei Wushuang did not publicly confirm Lin Qian’s identity to avoid affecting the Saint mission’s competition.

If students surrendered because Lin Qian was Wei Wushuang’s disciple during the hundred consecutive battles of the Saint mission, even if he helped, it would be all for naught.

Now, even if his identity was revealed, it wouldn’t matter; no one would give up because of it.

But Lin Qian still didn’t plan to let Wei Wushuang reveal it, just maintaining a bit of mystery was more beneficial to himself.

Therefore, the ensuing announcement from the Sea Spiral Holy Institute was earth-shattering, alarming the entire Sea Spiral Star Domain, causing all remaining forces within the Hundred Battle Alliance to surrender upon hearing the news.
