168: Chapter 168 Cleverness Backfires!

The voice of the Desolate Beast Mo Yuan spread across the entire world in an instant.

However—no one paid him any mind.

The Imperial Dynasty's army continued to slaughter frantically.

And those five Monster Ancestors not only showed no intention of stopping, but their attacks actually became even more ferocious.

"Boom!"

Another Desolate Beast Old Ancestor was blasted backward.

Although he did not fall on the spot, he suffered extremely severe injuries and had already lost the ability to continue fighting.

"Ah!"

The screams continued one after another.

Blood continued to flow.

The corpses of the Desolate Beasts continued to fall from the sky like dumplings.

You say wait, so we wait?

Who the hell do you think you are?

When you were given a chance, you acted tough.

Now you want to stop?

It is too late!

Mo Yuan's expression changed completely.

He finally realized now just how precious the opportunity the Monster Ancestor had given him earlier was.

And yet, he had thrown it away with his own hands just to show off.

"My Lord!"

He screamed hoarsely at the leading Monster Ancestor.

"We submit! We are willing to surrender! Please, give us another chance!"

Upon hearing his words, that Monster Ancestor still stood with his hands behind his back, not even sparing him a glance.

This was a form of disregard.

It was a method that made one feel even more stifled than a direct refusal!

It was at this moment that Mo Yuan's heart sank to the bottom.

He knew this was a punishment.

A punishment for his Desolate Beast Clan failing to appreciate the situation.

But he had no choice.

He could only watch helplessly as his kin fell one after another.

The compatriots who had once fought alongside him, battled together with him, and guarded the Desolate Beast Clan together were currently being slaughtered.

And he could do nothing but beg for mercy.

"My Lord!!"

He shouted again, his voice hoarse and trembling.

"I beg for your mercy!"

"We… we truly know we were wrong!"

Only then did the Monster Ancestor finally lower his head and glance at him.

That look was cold, calm, and without a ripple.

It was as if he were looking at a dying ant.

At this moment, Mo Yuan's heart was ice cold!

He knew the other party did not intend to give them another chance.

However—just at the moment he was in complete despair, a voice that sounded like heaven's music to him finally rang out.

"Enough."

The Monster Ancestor finally spoke.

"Everyone stop."

As the words fell, the entire world went quiet in an instant.

The Imperial Dynasty's army stopped attacking in unison.

Even those five Monster Ancestors retracted their attacks at the same time and retreated behind the Monster leader.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

It was as if the frantic slaughter just now was merely an illusion.

Only the corpses covering the ground, the blood stench filling the air, and the wounded who were groaning proved that everything that had just happened was real.

Mo Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment!

As long as the other party stopped, it meant that their Desolate Beast Clan was saved!

Although many clansmen had died this time, to him, it was no big deal; the reproduction speed of their Desolate Beast Clan was very fast.

As long as they were not wiped out directly by the other party, they would be able to recover quickly.

"Thank you, My Lord…"

"Thank you, My Lord, for your mercy…"

At this time, the Imperial Dynasty's Monster Ancestor ignored Mo Yuan completely and directly announced, "From this day forth, Qingyu Continent is incorporated into the territory of the Tianxuan Dynasty!"

"All living beings in this realm shall be citizens of my Imperial Dynasty!"

"All Human Race and Desolate Beasts shall be treated equally and govern this realm together!"

As the words fell, there was dead silence below.

Suddenly—

"Thank you, My Lord!"

"Thank you, My Lord!"

This time, the first to react were Mo Yuan and the Desolate Beast Clan.

Those Desolate Beasts that were still alive were all relieved, and they knelt down in the direction of the Imperial Dynasty people for the first time.

And Mo Yuan knelt down slowly at this moment.

The moment he knelt, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

There was humiliation.

There was unwillingness.

There was also a trace of… relief.

At least, they were still alive now.

Of course, this was not what made him happiest!

What made him happiest was that he did not let those despicable Human Race of Qingyu Continent, who wanted to borrow a knife to kill, succeed!

The reason he chose to surrender was not because he was afraid of death—their Desolate Beast Clan was not afraid of death either.

But he just did not want to see those despicable Human Race have it easy!

Thinking of this, the corners of Mo Yuan's mouth could not help but curl into a smile.

That smile grew bigger and brighter.

Finally—

"Hahahaha—!"

He actually started laughing up at the sky in front of the Imperial Dynasty people, laughing until tears were almost coming out.

"Good! Good! Good!"

He said the word "Good" three times in a row.

Each word carried irrepressible triumph.

His gaze turned to look at those Human Race at this moment.

To be precise, it turned toward those three Human Race Old Ancestors.

And the expressions of those three Human Race Old Ancestors were as ugly as they could possibly be.

They had thought that, taking advantage of this opportunity, they could use the hands of the Imperial Dynasty to completely eradicate the Desolate Beast Clan.

At that time, even if Qingyu Continent surrendered to the Tianxuan Dynasty, they, the Human Race, would still be the masters of this land.

But they never expected—that Mo Yuan, the person who loved Face the most, would actually dare to suddenly set aside his Face at this moment and choose to surrender!

Now it was done.

The Desolate Beasts were not wiped out, and instead, like them, they had become subjects of the Imperial Dynasty.

Moreover, listening to the Monster Ancestor's meaning, it was to let them "co-govern" Qingyu Continent!

What was the concept of co-governing?

That meant that from now on, their idea of the Human Race monopolizing Qingyu Continent had completely gone down the drain!

Even worse, with the strength of the Desolate Beast Clan, they might very well continue to suppress them!

"Damn it…"

One Human Race Old Ancestor gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice.

"This Mo Yuan… you… how could you do this? How could you surrender? What about your Face?"

Now it was done.

They had not wiped out the Desolate Beasts, and instead, they had screwed themselves!

The Desolate Beasts they had worked so hard for millions of years to wipe out but could not—today, they finally had a chance, but unfortunately, the other party actually chose to surrender.

Where could they go to argue about this?

And Mo Yuan, looking at their expressions, felt incredibly satisfied.

He stood up.

First, he brushed the dust off his body, then strode in front of the three Human Race Old Ancestors.

"Hello there… the three of you."

He said with a smile.

"From now on, we are colleagues."

"In the future, I will have to ask for your… your guidance."

That smile, no matter how you looked at it, was just asking for a punch.

Upon hearing this, the Faces of the three Human Race Old Ancestors turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

But they dared not act out.

Because Mo Yuan was now a subject of the Imperial Dynasty on equal footing with them.

Even, with his strength as a mutated Desolate Beast, his status might be higher than theirs.

They could only endure it.

Gritting their teeth and enduring it.

"Good… good…"

One Human Race Old Ancestor managed to squeeze out a smile.

"Much… guidance…"

Mo Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he turned around and ignored the other party.

Behind him, the three Human Race Old Ancestors looked at each other, their eyes full of bitterness.

They knew that from now on, Qingyu Continent would return to the way it was before.

And all of this was because they… had made the wrong decision!

They had delusionally tried to use the power of the Imperial Dynasty to destroy the other party!

No one likes this kind of behavior of borrowing a knife to kill someone!

The Monster Ancestor of the Tianxuan Dynasty could naturally see their intentions.

No one likes being used.

This time, they were a classic case of cleverness backfiring!

A good hand of cards, completely ruined!
