Chapter 69: Chapter 69 - Cowardly Prince

As the words fell, a golden halo began to envelop Song Yang's medium-grade sacred sword. This was the Law of Gold at 100%, which Song Yang understood due to his Sacred Domain of the Five Elements.

With a casual movement, the sword, imbued with the fifth layer of sword intent and the Law of Gold, flew from Song Yang's hand toward Lin Yanghai.

As for why Song Yang did not use the high-grade sacred sword he obtained after destroying the Celestial Sword Sect, or the Phoenix Blood Sword, an imperial-level artifact obtained from the legendary mysterious box:

The first reason is that it is unnecessary; after all, he is dealing only with an 8-star Saint.

Secondly, using the high-grade sacred sword would certainly reveal to the world that he has some connection with the Shura Palace, since it is no secret that it was the Shura Palace that destroyed the Celestial Sword Sect.

On the other hand, using the Phoenix Blood Sword, an imperial artifact, would be even worse. The aura of an imperial artifact would instantly alarm the entire continent.

After all, when he obtained the sword previously, there was no leakage of aura because the Shura Palace was located within a secret immortal-level realm, protected by countless formations that naturally blocked any aura from the outside world.

However, if Song Yang took the sword out here, the imperial visions would naturally alarm even those ancient monsters hidden in the central region of the continent!

Seeing the sword coming towards him, Lin Yanghai could not help but become completely desperate. Knowing there was no escape, he pleaded with Song Yang:

"You can't kill me!"

But before the rest of his words were completely out of his mouth, the sword had already arrived, shattering his body completely. Even his soul was utterly destroyed.

"Can't I?"

Song Yang spoke in a playful tone, looking at Lin Yanghai's remains. He then turned his gaze to the carriage and said coldly:

"You're not going to leave?"

As soon as Song Yang's words fell, the carriage door was quickly opened, and a young man dressed in luxurious brocade clothing stumbled out hastily.

"Greetings, Your Highness, the Eighth Prince!"

But in Yu Canghai's opinion, this was nothing much, as his life was already practically in Song Yang's hands

Facing someone who could easily kill an 8-Star Saint, all his trumps were mere child's play.

Therefore, he thought it might be better to increase his chances and voluntarily offer a piece of his soul.

This meant that from that moment on, he would be forever a loyal servant of Song Yang.

Although Yu Canghai was somewhat reluctant in his mind, in the face of death, he did not hesitate at all. For him, it was better to be Song Yang's dog than to face death!

Moreover, the person he would be serving was the greatest genius in the eastern region. Between death and serving the greatest genius in the eastern region, the choice seemed clear.

"That is indeed a tempting offer, having a prince as a slave."

Seeing the piece of soul offered by Yu Canghai, Song Yang couldn't help but be a little surprised. He really didn't expect Yu Canghai to be so decisive!

"But..."

SWISH

A sword swiftly passed through Yu Canghai's neck before he had time to react. His last glance was directed at Song Yang, as if asking:

Why? Why did Song Yang kill him even after he had promised to be his slave and even offered a piece of his soul?

"If I truly wanted to control a small dynasty like the Yushan Dynasty, I would conquer it with my own strength."

"Why would I resort to petty tricks?"

Looking at Yu Canghai's corpse, Song Yang shook his head slightly.

If his plan were not to create chaos between the two dynasties, he might have considered keeping Yu Canghai as a slave due to his sincerity in offering a piece of his soul.

But Song Yang simply despised such schemes. In his view, with absolute power, any conspiracy could be easily crushed.
