244: Ancient Alliance

Xu Qing's expression was indifferent; he didn't care about the two men's threats, as they were clearly not dead. But why would he care about the threats of two Great Emperors?

He glanced down. Over the vast sect territory, blood splattered. Countless forces residing in the Emperor Sect were annihilated. For them, this was a catastrophe.

The once glorious Nether Flame Emperor Valley had become ruins—broken walls, shattered remnants, and bloodstains. All living beings had died, buried beneath this land.

Xu Qing collected the Emperor Flame and the two Emperor Weapons.

Then, his gaze sharpened, and he reached out into the distance!

Ten disheveled figures were snatched from the Void Realm!

As these ten landed, they looked around, their expressions horrified!

These ten were precisely the powerhouses from the Three Sects and Seven Holy Lands!

They had originally only intended to observe the battle from afar, but they never expected to be discovered by Xu Qing.

The moment Xu Qing's gaze fell upon them, they immediately felt a sense of dread, their hearts filled with fear and regret.

“It’s over, it’s over! How were we discovered?”

“This mysterious powerhouse is too terrifying. We are no match for him at all!”

“If only we had known, we wouldn’t have come to watch this spectacle. Now look, we’ve gotten ourselves into trouble!”

“...”

However, before these thoughts could fully form in their minds, they were already instantly brought to this location by Xu Qing.

At this moment, their hearts were filled with despair and helplessness!

Facing such a peerless fiend, their Life was no longer in their own hands but completely controlled by the other party.

“Long Qingxuan greets Your Excellency. May I ask what Your Excellency commands? This old man is willing to serve Your Excellency!”

The Dragon Flame Hall Old Ancestor immediately bowed!

“Willing to serve Your Excellency!”

The other nine secretly cursed Long Qingxuan as an old fox, but they were quick to echo his words.

“I want all living beings of the Nether Flame Emperor Valley to die. Can you achieve this?”

The Nether Flame Emperor Valley ruled over three Emperor Continents, so there were naturally some who escaped. Xu Qing didn't have the energy to do these things, so these people were very suitable!

“Willing to serve Your Excellency!”

Four of them immediately replied!

Long Qingxuan and the others' expressions changed slightly upon seeing this. “Your Excellency, these four are clearly subordinates of the Nether Flame Emperor Valley. They have done many evil deeds over the years!”

The four Quasi-Emperors, led by the Demonic Fiend Hall, immediately trembled. This was an undeniable fact, and they had no excuse to defend themselves!

“Hmph!”

“Pfft!”

Long Qingxuan and the others grunted, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood!

“You have an opinion on how I act?” Xu Qing’s eyes glinted with cold light!

“Dare not! Dare not!”

“Please forgive us, Your Excellency!”

Long Qingxuan and the others were terrified, quickly kowtowing for mercy!

“Don’t let it happen again!” Xu Qing coldly snorted, “Remember, I only want the people of the Nether Flame Emperor Valley to die. If anyone dares to take advantage of this to commit unjust acts, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

How could these people still harbor such thoughts? After their brief encounter, they had already labeled Xu Qing as temperamental!

“Go! I want the people of the Nether Flame Emperor Valley to completely vanish from this world. Bring me the images of their demise, and that will be your ledger of merit. I will not be stingy with rewards!”

Xu Qing waved his sleeve, sweeping the ten people out!

Long Qingxuan and the others opened their eyes again, back in their original spot. They looked at each other and quickly divided into two factions!

“Hmph! Everyone, farewell!”

The Demonic Fiend Hall Old Ancestor coldly snorted, then left with the other three.

“We should go too! We absolutely cannot let those old devils from the Demonic Fiend Hall get ahead of us!”

Long Qingxuan’s expression was solemn; he dared not linger and quickly departed.

“Master, those four are clearly from the Nether Flame Emperor Valley. Why did you let them go?” Yun Qian asked, puzzled.

“From now on, there will be no one from the Nether Flame Emperor Valley, and the world knows they are my enemies. What do you think the four forces led by the Demonic Fiend Hall will do at this time?” Xu Qing asked.

Upon hearing this, Yun Qian immediately understood. “If they want to survive, they must wash away their identity as subordinates of the Nether Flame Emperor Valley. In this way, they will be even more thorough in eliminating the people of the Nether Flame Emperor Valley than Long Qingxuan and the others!”

“Precisely!”

Xu Qing smiled, “This Ancient Nether Realm is still a realm after all. When one overlord is annihilated, another will rise. Who do you think is suitable to be that overlord?”

Yun Qian understood and smiled, “Naturally, it is Master!”

Xu Qing smiled, then looked to his side, where three black-robed figures emerged from the Void Realm and appeared beside him.

“Greetings, Clan Chief!”

The three were An Ba and his two companions!

All three had reached Perfection in the Quasi-Emperor Realm. Ever since the System upgrade, Xu Qing had elevated the Cultivation of the Family's main powerhouses.

“Rise!”

Xu Qing waved his hand!

“Yes, Clan Chief!”

The three respectfully stood up.

Xu Qing instructed, “Form the Guyou Alliance. Once the entire realm is integrated, gradually devour the entire Southern Desolate Land!”

This was also one of the reasons he left the four from the Demonic Fiend Hall, after all, living people could generate more value!

“Clan Chief, rest assured, the three of us will quickly form the Alliance and expand territory for the Clan Chief!”

An Ba bowed and said.

“Mm!”

Xu Qing nodded, then tossed out a ring!

“Inside are a batch of Cultivation resources and some Cultivation crystals. How to reward them is up to you!”

These Cultivation crystals were naturally obtained by Xu Qing from the previous battle, in addition to some he had acquired from the Tianyang World, enough for An Ba and his group to use for a long time!

“Once this matter is concluded, I will leave this place for you to handle!”

As his voice fell, Xu Qing took Yun Qian and the seven beasts back to the Tianyang World!

“Farewell, Clan Chief!”

...Upon returning to the Tianyang World, Xu Qing took out the Emperor Flame and the two Emperor Weapons.

The three items had gained sentience and, knowing Xu Qing was an enemy, exuded monstrous resentment!

Xu Qing didn't indulge them either.

“System Recycle!”

[Ding! After evaluation, deducting various losses, the total value of the three Emperor items is 70,000. The System will recycle them at 60% of their original price. Do you wish to recycle?]

“Recycle!”

[Ding! Points have been credited to your account. Please check, Host!]

Xu Qing opened the System panel!

[Host: Xu Qing]

[Identity: Xu Clan Leader]

[Cultivation: Peerless Quasi-Emperor]

[Aptitude: Eternal]

[Physique: Chaos Dao Body (Minor Achievement), Void Dao Body (Major Achievement), Chaos Dao Eye (Minor Achievement), Heaven and Earth Dao Heart (60%), Undying Dao Body (Minor Achievement)]

[Luck: Purple Gold]

[Force: Great Emperor Family]

[Family Mall: Supreme Grade]

[family points: 87,869,390,000]

[Clan Luck Spirit: Twelve-Clawed Golden Dragon (33.1 million zhang)]

[Talents: Investment Return, Plunder Luck, Heavenly Secret Obscuration, Heavenly Dao Pressure, Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains!]

[Territory: 1 Realm; 16 Holy Lands; 540 Emperor Domains; >25,000 Major Domains; 10,000 Middle Domains; 50,000 Minor Domains!]

Over 87.8 billion family points were enough for Xu Qing to use for a while!

He had used eight of the ten Low Grade emperor fruits obtained earlier, raising the Cultivation of the remaining Hall Masters and Branch Leaders to the Emperor Realm.

He then spent 3.18 billion family points to raise the 53 core Elders of the Clan to the Perfection of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

This included the twenty-eight core Elders, the remaining eight from the ten-person group, the remaining nine from the Dark Guards, and the eight Great Protector Heavenly Generals!

He spent 3.6 billion family points to raise 72 Family members at the Branch Elder level to Seven-Step Quasi-Emperor.

Currently, including Jade Emperor, the Clan possessed a total of twenty Great Emperors.

Counting himself, there were four Peerless Quasi-Emperors; fifty-three Quasi-Emperors at Perfection; and seventy-two Seven-Step Quasi-Emperors.

This did not even include the Ten Great Heavenly Army and the Tianyang World.

Currently, the Ten Great Heavenly Army's high-end combat power was a bit lacking, which was also due to the scarcity of sacred souls. However, once the Tianyang Divine Court was officially established, he could proceed with the next plan, and then the Heavenly Army would have its use!

Xu Qing shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and instead took out a fragment...
