"No need for introductions, you should just die."
Ye Qiu struck down with his palm, killing the border king.
With the death of the border king, his 200,000-odd men were thrown into complete chaos.
They looked at each other, all filled with fear, terrified of being slaughtered.
Ye Qiu turned his gaze, his sharp eyes sweeping over the crowd, and calmly said, "Now, I give you two choices: one, submit to Ancestral Dragon City; two, those who do not wish to submit may leave on their own."
"Can you really walk?" someone asked in a trembling voice.
"He can really walk," Ye Qiu said.
"I...I choose to leave."
The soldier who had asked the question turned and left.
Ye Qiu neither stopped him nor killed him, letting him leave.
Everyone else was astonished by what they saw.
Then, someone shouted, "Palace Master Ye, I am willing to follow you."
"I'm willing too."
Once someone spoke up, others quickly followed suit, expressing their desire to join Zulong City.
They witnessed the power of Zulong City firsthand and were greatly shocked.
When given the opportunity to join, most people did not hesitate.
Ultimately, out of the approximately 200,000 people, 180,000 joined Zulong City.
The remaining 40,000 or so scattered like birds and beasts.
Wei Hu approached Ye Qiu and asked in a low voice, "Palace Master, should we send someone to kill all those who escaped?"
"No need," Ye Qiu said. "If I say I won't kill them, then I won't. There's no point in killing them anyway."
"Yes." Wei Hu nodded: "Then should we take this opportunity to take control of the border city?"
"What's the point of taking over the border city? Zulong City is the safest place. Chaos is coming, and we don't need to get involved in this mess. Let's protect Zulong City first," Ye Qiu said seriously.
"yes."
Wei Hu nodded respectfully.
Ye Qiu turned around, looked towards the border city, and said calmly, "After you finish cleaning up the battlefield, you will lead 10,000 men into the city and empty the royal palace for me. If there are any experts in formations or alchemy, you will also 'invite' them to Zulong City."
In addition, the training academy in Zu Long City needs teachers, and there are good teachers in the border city, so you can join them as well. Cough, be sure to be as polite as possible.
One thing you must remember is that you must never disturb the civilians, and you must not rob them.
"Yes, I understand."
"Let's get started."
Ye Qiu patted Wei Hu on the shoulder.
Okay.
Wei Hu chuckled and began directing the cleanup of the battlefield.
At this moment, he felt that joining Zulong City was the best thing he had ever done in his life.
Wei Hu had a strong premonition that the future Zulong City would inevitably become a peerless city renowned throughout the Tianxing Realm...
Time flies, and dawn breaks in the blink of an eye.
A sudden downpour struck, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and the sky turned eerily dark.
Ye Qiu stood atop the city wall, hands behind his back, gazing towards Longdu, pondering whether he should set off for Longdu now to collect some interest.
What are you thinking about?
Beitang Yu came to Ye Qiu's side, tilted her head and looked at Ye Qiu with admiration in her eyes.
After last night's battle, Beitang Yu's impression of Ye Qiu has completely changed.
Ye Qiu didn't turn to look at Beitang Yu, and said softly, "I'm wondering if you should honor your bet now that you've lost?"
"I came here to talk to you about this. I, Beitang Yu, am a man of my word and I will never make excuses," Beitang Yu said with a smile.
"Forget it," Ye Qiu said. "Girl, I was just joking with you. Don't take it seriously."
“I knew you’d do this.” Beitang Yu puffed out her chest abruptly. “I’m not a little girl, I’m an adult. If I lose, I will definitely punish myself. You wait, I’ll go right away.”
"Uh, sulking?"
“I’m not being spiteful. I just want you to know that I, Beitang Yu, am a person of my word.”
Beitang Yu turned and left.
Ye Qiu shook his head, ignoring Beitang Yu.
But not long after, Wei Hu came to report: "Palace Master, Miss Beitang is crawling around the temple in the pouring rain, cursing herself as a pig's head as she crawls. What's going on? We can't persuade her to listen."
"Uh, she actually went?" Ye Qiu was taken aback.
"Your Highness, it's pouring rain and there's thunder and lightning right now. It might not be safe for her, being a young woman all alone. Why don't you go and try to persuade her?"
"I'll go take a look."
Ye Qiu's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
Wei Hu was startled and gasped, taking a while to recover: "Has the Palace Master's cultivation level actually reached such a level?"
...
On the other side, Ye Qiu had already arrived at the dojo and saw Beitang Yu crawling, his whole body soaked by the torrential rain, looking like a drowned rat.
Ye Qiu walked up and stopped Bei Tangyu: "You can stop now."
"Don't stop me, I haven't finished yet."
Beitang Yu wanted to avoid Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu frowned: "Don't be stubborn. The more stubborn you are, the more you act like a child."
"I'm not a child, I'm not."
Beitang Yu shouted loudly, his emotions suddenly becoming somewhat out of control.
Then, she continued crawling forward.
Ye Qiu found Bei Tangyu's neurotic behavior somewhat incomprehensible and did not continue to stop her. Instead, he stood in the rain and quietly watched her climb.
Beitang Yu climbed around and around, and finally completed the bet.
At this moment, Beitang Yu revealed a bright smile and waved to Ye Qiu: "I've done it. I'm not someone who breaks promises."
Ye Qiu gazed at the girl lying face down on the ground ahead, and for a moment, he was inexplicably moved...
