"Senior brother, Li Xiaotian is too insidious. He has provoked my Desolate Hall several times, so I..."
Huang Wuya began, but was interrupted by Huang Wudi.
"Enough!!!"
Huang Wudi reprimanded, cast a disappointed glance at Huang Wuya, and continued.
"Go into secluded cultivation. Until Master wakes up, you are not allowed to leave!"
"What!!!"
Huang Wuya looked incredulous, his eyes filled with unwillingness and anger. He was the master of the Desolate Hall, the true owner.
Now, Huang Wudi was ordering him into secluded cultivation!
This was an attempt to seize his power!
In the great hall, the many powerhouses of the Desolate Hall were also shocked. Huang Wudi ordering their Hall Master into secluded cultivation was, in essence, seizing power and imprisoning him!
How dare he?!
Was he not afraid of being held accountable by the Hall Master's parents upon their awakening?
"What? You are unwilling?!"
Huang Wudi looked at Huang Wuya coldly, his eyes narrowed, and the temperature in the hall dropped instantly.
"I, I!"
Huang Wuya spoke with difficulty, his heart roaring wildly. He desperately wanted to say he was unwilling!
He wanted to say, who did Huang Wudi think he was, to dare seize this seat's power?
But he dared not!
He knew that Huang Wudi was serious now. If he refused, the other party would force him into seclusion, and it would likely be far more unbearable than voluntarily entering it.
"I will go into seclusion. The Desolate Hall will be managed by Senior Brother for now."
Huang Wuya gritted his teeth, lowered his head, his eyes bloodshot, filled with anger and hatred.
One day, this seat will reclaim all the humiliation!!!
Huang Wudi! Li Xiaotian! Great Qin!
One day, this seat will make you all kneel before me, make you regret it, and make you wish you were dead!
Huang Wuya roared inwardly, unwilling, extremely unwilling!
"Send the Hall Master to secluded cultivation! From now on, the Desolate Hall will be temporarily managed by this old man. All matters of the Desolate Hall are to be reported to me, and the Hall Master need not be disturbed."
Huang Wudi said to the powerhouses of the Desolate Hall in the great hall, his expression devoid of emotion.
"We obey your command!"
The powerhouses of the Desolate Hall in the great hall all responded, filled with trepidation. Of course, some harbored a hint of secret joy.
Although Huang Wudi's seizure of power was a bit much, they were certain of one thing: Huang Wudi would manage the Desolate Hall better than Huang Wuya.
"Send people to the Blazing Fire Sect, the Divine Sect, and the White Bone Sect to invite the Fire Child and the others to the Desolate Hall for a discussion. Say that this old man invites them to discuss dealing with Great Qin!"
Huang Wudi spoke unhurriedly, his eyes narrowed. Great Qin's unification of Yanzhou had been too smooth, and the attitudes of the major powers made him feel something was amiss.
In any case, he absolutely would not allow Great Qin to rule Yanzhou peacefully!
Because they were not worthy! Li Xiaotian was even less worthy!
"Hmph, only one Overlord dares to unify Yanzhou? Overestimating themselves!"
Huang Wudi sneered. If he hadn't wanted to hide his strength, Li Xiaotian would have died in the capital that day!
Great Qin took a full day to complete the handover of all cities. Excluding the cities controlled by the Desolate Hall and the Blazing Fire Sect, Great Qin had currently taken over three-quarters of Yanzhou's cities.
Although it was not a true unification of Yanzhou, the current situation was much better than before.
Late at night, in Shencheng, the outermost city in the northeastern region of Great Qin. Shencheng was previously occupied by a small sect, the Mountain Support Sect, and was just taken over by Great Qin today.
At this moment, soldiers of the Great Qin War Department had set up defensive lines outside the city, and an Emperor-level expert was stationed in the city.
Shencheng's location was rather special. It bordered the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain to the north and was not far from the sea to the east. Both the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain and the sea were inhabited by ferocious beasts.
The only reassuring factor was that the Heaven and Earth energy here was not strong, so there would be no beast tides impacting the city.
However, to be safe, defenses could not be neglected.
At this time, not far from Shencheng, more than a dozen figures exuding powerful auras were rapidly approaching Shencheng.
"Who are you?! Halt! This is Great Qin territory. Flying is prohibited within the city. If you wish to enter, please descend and register!"
On the city wall, Kong Wenbin instantly ascended into the sky, holding a long spear, looking cautiously at the group.
He was the Emperor-level expert stationed in Shencheng. His injuries had recovered, and his strength had also improved considerably, nearing the late Emperor-level.
Sensing the aura of the approaching group, Kong Wenbin was filled with shock. Eleven of them were at the late Emperor-level, and two of them had even stronger auras, likely peak Emperor-level experts.
Who were they? Where did they come from?!
Kong Wenbin frowned. They were coming from the northeast, clearly not from any sect within Great Qin.
Suddenly, Kong Wenbin shivered violently, a flicker of horror flashing in his eyes. He knew where they came from.
"Great Han Dynasty!"
Kong Wenbin's face became solemn. Previously, the Crown Prince of the Great Han Dynasty had acted presumptuously in the capital, and all of them were killed by Li Xiaotian.
And now, these people were clearly hostile, coming for revenge!
"Immediately send a message to the capital, stating that eleven late Emperor-level experts from the Great Han Dynasty are launching a surprise night attack on Shencheng! Request reinforcements! Please, Lord Dragon King, descend upon Shencheng!"
Kong Wenbin ordered below the city and then charged forward with his spear.
