"The peerless hero Xue Rengui of the ages, who suppressed the two supreme Immortal Emperors, Hedao and Diyan, in Chang'an City, his fame and prestige permeated the sky, he was conferred the title of General of the First Rank, Marquis of the First Order, with the posthumous title of Pingyang, and was appointed commander of the Qilin Legion!"
"Your subject, thanks the Holy Emperor for his profound grace!" Xue Rengui, kneeling on one knee, said with emotion. Beside him, Wang Zhongsi excitedly walked to Xue Rengui's side and said, "General Xue, the million soldiers of the Qilin Legion have long awaited your arrival!"
"General Wang!"
Xue Rengui solemnly took the military tally from Wang Zhongsi's hand. The Qilin Legion, with its million soldiers, were all soldiers born of the Tang Dynasty. Wang Zhongsi's words were not wrong.
"Xue Rengui, Lian Po!"
Yang Hao, seated on the imperial throne, spoke, "Wield the Jintai Scroll and conquer the Dao Hai Alliance!"
"Your subject obeys the decree!"
Lian Po and Xue Rengui rose, accepted the imperial decree, and left Xuanzheng Hall. After the two great heroes departed, Yang Hao spoke again, "Lu Bu, Jia Fu!"
"Your subject is here!"
"You two shall return to your respective legions immediately and suppress the borders of the Great Han!"
"Your subject obeys the decree!"
Zhuge Liang commanded the Vermilion Bird Legion, far in Mengzhou in the eastern part of the Immortal Realm. Zhou Yafu commanded the Azure Dragon Legion in Dengzhou, which was originally the territory of the Seven Star Pavilion and had now been uniformly designated as Dengzhou.
"The remaining officials shall attend to their duties and strictly investigate the borders!" Although the Sun Moon Heavenly Court had also invaded, the Great Han's foundation was insufficient to declare war on two major powers. The Jintai Scroll had been presented, and he still needed the Xiang Yu Scroll to guard Chang'an.
...
The eastern border of the Dao Hai Alliance.
"The Dao Hai Alliance has threatened the rivers and mountains of my Great Han. Today, by the decree of the Holy Emperor, we shall conquer the Dao Hai Alliance!"
High in the boundless firmament, Wang Zhongsi, temporarily in command of the Qilin Legion, surveyed the vast army before him with a cold expression. Xue Rengui and Lian Po, wielding the Jintai Scroll, had already entered spatial traversal, heading directly for the core of the Dao Hai Alliance. Meanwhile, Wang Zhongsi, commanding the million soldiers of the Qilin Legion, stood at the eastern border of the Dao Hai Alliance. The terrifying aura of battle and bloodshed defied the millions of soldiers of the Dao Hai Alliance. The might of a single army was immense, suppressing the Dao Hai Alliance army to the point where they dared not utter a sound!
"Great Han!"
The Quasi-Emperor being who commanded this border defense army looked at the Qilin Legion of the Great Han with a pale face. The commander of this legion was Xue Rengui, who had suppressed the Immortal Emperor Hedao! Above Chang'an City, three arrows had been fired, and the supreme Immortal Emperor who controlled more than twenty imperial destinies had scattered like strands of hair in the wind.
"Surrender and live!"
Wang Zhongsi spoke. To subdue these millions of troops without expending a single soldier would be a great victory. The million-strong army clad in Qilin armor continuously honed their blades, awaiting the command to strike.
"General!"
The Quasi-Emperor stepped down from his mount, removed his armor, and holding the seal of command for the eastern border army, walked before the vast ranks. He knelt on both knees, raising the seal above his head, and said, "I am willing to surrender!"
"I implore General to treat these millions of soldiers and the myriad races of the eastern region with kindness!"
At this moment, Meng Juehai rode out from the front of the army, approached the Quasi-Emperor, and with the force of his spear, flicked the seal up, caught it with one hand, and delivered it to Wang Zhongsi.
The southern border of the Dao Hai Alliance.
Murong Ke, who had hoped for a peaceful surrender like the others, found the situation at the southern border of the Dao Hai Alliance to be far from what he had expected. The one defending this border was the companion of the Immortal Emperor Hedao, who had recently perished in Chang'an City, a powerful Quasi-Emperor!
"Humans, you killed my husband, I will never surrender!" Amidst the Dao Hai Alliance army, a woman of gentle appearance roared to the heavens with great ferocity. Her powerful Quasi-Emperor might made the surrounding beings dare not approach.
"A woman, a Quasi-Emperor." Murong Ke, seated in his war chariot, chuckled lightly as he looked at the figure. How dared this woman be so presumptuous in front of him? He waved his hand, and the million-strong army was shaken.
Boom!
The Xuanwu Legion's formation condensed, and under the command of General Xian Zhen, it charged downwards. The million-strong army moved, their bloody aura soaring, their battle intent engulfing the sky. Under the rule of the Dao Hai Alliance, this territory likely had no idea what the color of blood was. At this moment, a rain of blood poured from the sky, and countless beings were so frightened their faces turned pale!
"Kill!"
Xian Zhen gave the order, and Fu Hao, Tian Dan, Chu Li Ji, and Yang Youji each led their troops into the fray. They hadn't intended to fight, but now this land was strewn with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood. The dense bloody aura permeated the battle banners, exuding a chilling coldness!
"Kill!"
The Quasi-Emperor woman paid no heed to the millions of soldiers behind her, raising her imperial-grade immortal treasure, stained with the imperial might of Immortal Emperor Hedao, and charged towards Xian Zhen. A trace of imperial might erupted, causing Xian Zhen's face to change drastically. However, as Murong Ke glanced over from his war chariot, the imperial-grade immortal treasure, stained with a trace of imperial might, instantly shattered. The Quasi-Emperor woman was directly impaled in the sky by this single glance!
"The Quasi-Emperor is dead."
"Surrender and live!"
Xian Zhen raised his battle banner, regaining his senses, and roared. At that moment, the millions of beings who were already in awe of the Great Han's powerful army, seeing the companion of Immortal Emperor Hedao perish in the void, threw down their weapons and surrendered to the ground.
In the core of the Dao Hai Alliance, Lian Po and Xue Rengui stood in the palace of Immortal Emperor Zunhai, gazing at the cushion that still held a trace of imperial might.
"It seems that Immortal Emperor Zunhai smelled something and entered the ancient star path!" Lian Po extended his palm and gently touched a point in space, sensing the fluctuations.
"It's better that he fled."
Xue Rengui, holding the Jintai Scroll, spoke calmly. The master of the Dao Hai Alliance was called Immortal Emperor Zunhai, controlling thirty imperial destinies, and had already reached the level of a Peerless Immortal Emperor. To suppress him would truly require the use of the Jintai Scroll, a trump card that diminished with each use and was the fundamental means of survival for the Great Han.
...
After surveying the core territory of the Dao Hai Alliance, Lian Po and Xue Rengui stepped into the void, entered the chaos, and sped towards the western border of the Dao Hai Alliance. With the surrender of the eastern and southern border armies of the Dao Hai Alliance, the Xuanwu Legion and the Qilin Legion utilized the teleportation array and, after half a month, arrived at the core of the Dao Hai Alliance. The two armies marched, the Xuanwu heading north, and the Qilin heading west.
The departure of Immortal Emperor Zunhai caused the already chaotic regions of the Dao Hai Alliance to completely collapse, with no will to resist. Wherever the victorious army of the Great Han went, white flags were raised, and they surrendered to the Great Han.
In just one month, the Dao Hai Alliance, a powerful force in the southern region of the Immortal Realm, collapsed under the conquest of the Great Han's two legions.
