143: The coalition forces were defeated, Jiang Taibai took action!

“Jiang Taibai…”

Wan Lei’s gaze also fell upon him, but his eyes remained calm.

At the same time, Jiang Taibai’s figure appeared before Wan Lei and Gu Qing.

“Lord Jiang, this person, without distinguishing right from wrong, crippled my cultivation and disrespected my Misty Rain Tower. I implore Lord Jiang to uphold justice for me!” Gu Qing urgently sought help from Jiang Taibai.

She feigned an innocent and wronged expression, a white lotus demeanor that made Wan Lei feel a little sick to his stomach.

Indeed, women are born actresses.

In such a situation, Gu Qing could still put on that pitiful, innocent appearance to gain Jiang Taibai’s sympathy.

Jiang Taibai looked at her expressionlessly, then turned his gaze to Wan Lei: “Release her first.”

Wan Lei did not refuse. He knew Jiang Taibai’s attitude from before in the Great Xia Imperial Palace and believed that he definitely knew what to do.

After Wan Lei released her, a hint of triumph flashed in the depths of Gu Qing’s eyes.

Immediately, she looked at Jiang Taibai and pleaded, “Lord Jiang, this person’s methods are vicious. My life’s cultivation has been ruined by him. Now Gu Qing is like a cripple. I beg Lord Jiang not to let them off easily!”

However, there was no trace of pity or sympathy in Jiang Taibai’s eyes. “Gu Qing, you have seriously violated the Tower’s rules. Now that you’ve been caught red-handed, do you admit your guilt?!”

Gu Qing was bewildered: “Lord… Lord Jiang, I don’t understand what you mean?”

“Gu Qing regards the Tower’s rules as the supreme Law and has never dared to overstep them in the slightest. She has always been diligent and conscientious. I implore Lord Jiang not to listen to slanderous words!”

Gu Qing’s words at this moment sounded better than a song.

Jiang Taibai looked at her, his eyes cold: “Gu Qing, you truly won’t shed tears until you see the coffin.”

The next moment, Jiang Taibai stretched out his hand, and the power in his palm, in an invisible manner, instantly seized Tang Ge.

“Soul Control Heart Refinement.”

Jiang Taibai sent a wave of power into Tang Ge’s mind, and the latter’s expression immediately became dull and empty.

“Lord Jiang, what is the meaning of this?”

Gu Qing’s heart sank, but she still feigned a puzzled look as she watched him.

“Tang Ge, I ask you.”

“What is your relationship with Gu Qing, and why did she come here?”

Jiang Taibai ignored her and directly questioned Tang Ge.

Tang Ge, now under a spell, answered dully: “Gu Qing is my Senior Sister. I invited her here this time.”

“To secretly deal with a few Saints of the Great Xia Dynasty.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing’s already pale face instantly turned bloodless.

Her entire Soul felt as if it had been drained, losing all strength in that instant.

“Hmph.”

“Gu Qing, have you forgotten what Misty Rain Tower does?”

“Did you truly think your relationship with Tang Ge could be hidden from the General Tower?!”

Jiang Taibai looked at Gu Qing and let out a majestic cold snort.

Anyone could feel Jiang Taibai’s anger towards her at this moment.

“Lord Jiang, spare my life!!”

“Lord Jiang, spare my life!”

“I was temporarily possessed by a ghost. Please, Lord, spare me this once, considering that my cultivation is completely lost!” Gu Qing knelt down, begging for mercy with tragic remorse.

“Opportunities are reserved for useful people.”

“As for you, you are not worthy!”

As soon as Jiang Taibai finished speaking, he struck Tang Ge and Gu Qing with a palm, and the power that erupted from it instantly engulfed the two of them.

In an instant, Gu Qing and Tang Ge’s Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, without even a chance to speak, turned to ashes on the spot.

“Your Majesty!!!”

“Ge’er!!”

The two Saints of the Nine Heavens Dynasty and many high-ranking officials of the Imperial Dynasty, seeing Tang Ge killed, were immediately filled with grief, roaring with eyes wide in fury.

But the killer was Jiang Taibai, the Guardian Elder of Misty Rain Tower’s General Tower.

Despite their grief and hatred, not a single one of them dared to say a word against Jiang Taibai.

Each person buried their hatred and killing intent deep in their hearts, not daring to show any of it.

This was the supreme deterrence brought by absolute strength and power!

After Jiang Taibai purged the traitors, he turned to Wan Lei: “The scoundrels within the Tower have been dealt with. You may continue.”

With that, Jiang Taibai’s figure vanished from where he stood.

At this moment, Wan Lei put away Tang Ge’s Storage Ring.

After this, he no longer delayed, directly unleashing his Undying Realm pressure, causing the sky to change dramatically, with countless bolts of Holy Lightning Qi gathering above.

Rumble…

Streaks of lightning continuously fell, forming a lightning storm blockade that surrounded all the armies and warships of the Eight Great Dynasty.

The next second, his lightning power transformed into a lightning cloud, crushing the defenses of the six Saints and striking them.

“Ah!!!”

Bang bang bang!!!

Wan Lei’s lightning power was formidable and overbearing. The six Saints, caught in the lightning cloud, did not last more than three seconds before their Souls exploded, perishing on the spot!!

“Old Ancestor!!!”

The Emperors of several Imperial Dynasties cried out in sorrow.

The armies on those warships were now in disarray, their morale completely shattered.

“Retreat!!!”

“Retreat!”

Huang Jingmu suppressed the shock and fear in his heart and immediately organized the army to retreat.

But it was already too late.

Wan Lei’s figure transformed into a streak of lightning, speeding past and directly shattering their warship.

The seven Emperors were instantly terrified, all retaliating with King Sealing Realm level power, but they simply could not counteract the lightning power.

After Wan Lei found Huang Jingmu, a bolt of lightning power surged into his body.

“Ah!!”

Bang!!

Huang Jingmu screamed, and his body exploded with a bang. As the lightning power scattered, his Soul was also torn apart.

His spatial ring was also taken by Wan Lei.

For the remaining six Emperors, Wan Lei released a massive lightning net from his palm, covering them directly!

“Ah…”

The six Emperors were directly immobilized by the lightning net, their bodies entangled in lightning, unable to move at all!

“Your Majesty!!”

“Your Majesty…”

The generals and King Sealing Realm Cultivators of the Eight Great Dynasty, seeing their Emperors suppressed, were filled with despair!

Furthermore, the clan Old Ancestors of those Imperial Dynasties, even when united, could not tear open a single lightning blockade.

Staying meant certain death, and they couldn’t get out.

For a time, all the soldiers of the Imperial Dynasty felt their hearts darken, utterly despairing.

At this moment, Meng Changzhong, who had been watching the show from the city wall, finally moved, seeing the current situation.

His figure flew out, quickly entering the lightning blockade.

“Those who want to live, stop immediately!!”

“I, the Prime Minister, have an Imperial Edict to proclaim!!”

“If you continue to resist, you will be executed first, then annihilated!!”

As Meng Changzhong’s words rang out, those of the Eight Great Dynasty who were still forcibly attacking the lightning blockade gradually stopped.

Including the suppressed Emperors and the King Sealing Realm clan Old Ancestors of the Imperial Dynasty, their gazes were now all focused on Meng Changzhong.

An Imperial Edict to proclaim?

Is it the Chu Emperor of Great Xia’s Edict? Is it directed at them?

The high-ranking officials of those Imperial Dynasties were all filled with apprehension.

For them, this was already a certain death situation.

What else did the Great Xia Dynasty want to do?

Seeing all eyes gathered on him, Meng Changzhong calmly took out the Imperial Edict and read: “You Imperial Dynasties, misled by treacherous individuals and believing villains, mistakenly started a war with Great Xia.”

“Considering Heaven’s virtue of cherishing life, this Emperor is unwilling to resolve everything through slaughter, and thus grants you an opportunity!”

“The high-ranking officials of the six Imperial Dynasties, namely Shangqiu, Datai, Baihua, Xuanbing, Sahai, and Qingmu, shall surrender your Soul Blood, and swear an oath to henceforth submit to the Great Xia Dynasty and never betray it!”

“If so, the Great Xia Dynasty will let bygones be bygones for today’s events and grant you the freedom to survive. By Imperial Edict!!”

After Meng Changzhong finished proclaiming the Imperial Edict, the King Sealing Realm Cultivators of several Imperial Dynasties all looked thoughtful.

Great Xia’s meaning was very clear: as long as they declared their submission to Great Xia today, they would live.

Otherwise, given the current situation, all of them would likely be annihilated!

“My Xuanbing Imperial Dynasty is willing to submit to the Great Xia Dynasty from now on. We thank the Chu Emperor for his grace!!”

The Xuanbing Emperor made his choice the fastest, kneeling down to receive the Edict and express his gratitude.

The other royal clan Old Ancestors and King Sealing Realm high-ranking officials of the Xuanbing Imperial Dynasty also bowed in submission.

For the sake of the entire Imperial Dynasty, they chose to surrender.

“We thank the Chu Emperor for his grace!!”
