"this..."
The subordinate hesitated, looking embarrassed.
The King of Qin frowned: "Speak, what exactly is the situation?"
"Your Majesty, according to the scouts, Ye Qiu's men only suffered minor injuries, meaning they did not lose a single soldier," his subordinate whispered.
"Impossible." The King of Qin's face darkened. "In the palace, the Palace Master is at the half-step Divine Seal Realm, and the other five elders are all at the Five Gods Realm. With such a lineup, how could they not kill a single soldier?"
"Yes." The subordinate replied, "Your Majesty, the Palace Master of the Returning King Palace was killed instantly, and the other elders also died very quickly. They didn't even have a chance to exert any combat power before being killed by 100,000 soldiers."
"Those 100,000 Shenzhou soldiers are actually so powerful?" King Qin frowned, his pupils shrinking: "It seems I underestimated those 100,000 men."
"Your Majesty, should we send another assassination attempt? Ye Qiu is not far from Qin Prefecture."
"They will pass through two more cities and encounter three sects. Immediately notify the three sects to unite and intercept Ye Qiu. Kill as many as you can to weaken the strength of those 100,000 men," the King of Qin said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, those three sects probably can't stop us either. Why not summon them to the city and let them join us in resisting? That would be more effective."
"Are you questioning me?" The King of Qin's eyes narrowed. "What I want is for them to weaken Ye Qiu's power. As for whether they live or die, that's not important. Do you understand?"
As for troops, we have no shortage of them. I will inform the Qinzhou Army, which originally belonged to the Great Xia, later. They dare not resist. There are 170,000 of them. Add our 200,000, and we will have hundreds of thousands of troops. We can easily crush Ye Qiu.
Furthermore, the combined forces of three sects will surely inflict heavy losses on him. Once they reach the city walls, we can easily eliminate them.
"Yes, Your subordinate obeys."
"Go take care of some business."
...
Five hours passed in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, one of the King of Qin's men came to report the latest developments.
He was in a hurry, his brows furrowed: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened."
"explain."
The King of Qin clenched his fists.
"Those three sects were completely wiped out, all killed by Ye Qiu alone. Yet, out of 100,000 men, not a single one was lost," the subordinate said in a trembling voice.
"How could this be?" The King of Qin's expression changed: "Among the three sects, there were experts at the Divine Seal Realm, and they were all killed?"
"They were all killed; not a single one survived."
"Damn it!" King Qin was furious. "The three sects had a total of over two thousand people. How did Ye Qiu manage to wipe them all out by himself?"
"Your Majesty, after Ye Qiu killed the high-ranking officials, the people below scattered like monkeys falling from a tree, all thinking of escaping for their lives. As a result, almost the entire army was wiped out. Some of them were disciples recruited by the three sects in the area, who surrendered directly," the subordinate said through gritted teeth.
Upon hearing this, the King of Qin gritted his teeth. The taste of repeated defeats made him extremely uncomfortable, and he felt a strong threat. He said in a low voice, "This Ye Qiu must not be allowed to live. This person is a huge scourge. We must eliminate him at all costs. I will go and ask for the Spirit God Cauldron right now."
...
At this very moment, in a mountain village dozens of miles from Qinzhou City, Ye Qiu led his army to a stop.
Ye Qiu discovered that this mountain village was extraordinary, shrouded in a faint golden light, within which golden runes flowed, revealing endless mystery.
"You wait here, I'll go check out this village," Ye Qiu said before leading Wang Xiaoyu toward the somewhat mystical mountain village not far away.
