Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Hundred Sects Alliance【Third Update】_1

The Southwest State is adjact to the sea! Although it's located in a corner bordering the Beast Mountains, its overall area is massive, ev larger than Dawu, and due to its coastal location, it can gather many resources that are not found on the mainland. Therefore, there are many powerful figures here. Through Zhao Jing's words, Chu Yuan learned that the Southwest State has a population of about one billion, which is incredibly large. "No need to retreat for now. The Southwest State has a large population and is rich in resources. It's an area that other imperial dynasties have not developed much yet. If our empire conquers it, not only will our territory and population greatly expand, but we will also obtain a vast and resource-rich land," said Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan ordered, "Loyal and Brave Marquis, go in my name and summon all the clans here to see me." Upon learning of Chu Yuan's plan, Lu Qianfu was excited as this meant expanding the territory and establishmt of a great cause. The way of the emperor is to expand and conquer, and as a military leader, he naturally relishes conquest. He thought for a momt and said solemnly, "The Southwest State has many powerful figures, possibly sev or eight who are close to reaching the Divine Realm. What if they refuse to come?" "They refuse?" Chu Yuan said coldly, "If they do not come, they will be the next Liuyun Sect. Tell them, those who refuse to come see me will have their clan wiped out by my army. What I care about is not the clans but the people and resources within the city. It would be better if they surrder, but if they do not, it does not matter either." "Your servant obeys!" Lu Qianfu said. "Right, let Dragon Lord go with you." After all, there are powerful figures in the Southwest State who are close to the Divine Realm, it would be safer for Purple-scaled Thunder Dragon and Lu Qianfu to act together. The news of what happed to the Liuyun Sect spread like lightning. As a large clan that ranked in the top five in terms of strgth in the Southwest State, it was completely wiped out by the army from Dawu within a day. All the powerful figures from the tire clan were killed. Who wouldn't be chilled by such an evt? Everyone was terrified, fearing that the next blade might fall on them. Before these clan leaders could ev discuss strategies, Chu Yuan's imperial edict had be delivered to their gates. Who dares not to respond to the Great Wu Emperor's edict? The consequces would be the eradication of their clan, leaving no one alive! The imperial edict was extremely domineering, which infuriated all the clan leaders! The Hundred Sects acted with caution this time, not completely tering the area. Many powerful figures from Original Spirit Realm and Divine Realm stayed outside, confronting the opposition army. Those who tered were the best fighters from each clan, mostly Headmasters and Supreme Elders. Upon tering, they immediately saw a figure sitting on an imposing royal throne. Behind him, a purple thunder dragon coiled up, akin to a totem. "The Great Wu Emperor!" Upon seeing Chu Yuan, the elders felt a chill in their hearts, especially due to the profound depths in his eyes and the black light that was continuously slicing through the void a him. "You're all here." said Chu Yuan. "So you're the Great Wu Emperor!" An elder in a Taoist robe with hair came forward and said, "I am Qingyun Zi, Supreme Elder of Qingyun Sect, although I am lacking, I was elected as the Alliance Leader of the Hundred Sects Alliance by my fellows to negotiate with the Great Wu Emperor." Qingyun Zi's cultivation level was also extremely high, ev surpassing Yun Xi's, and was at the peak of half-step to the Divine Realm, capable of breaking through at any time. "Is this how Dawu treats its guests? We traveled a long way to come here. Not to mtion a cup of tea to quch our thirst, there isn't ev a seat. Are we supposed to stand here and talk to you?" Said a man veloped in a fiery aura, "Ev though you are the Great Wu Emperor, we are also the headmasters and Supreme Elders of various sects." "In the Dawu court, ev civil and military officials, including the prime minister and the geral, have to stand below and look up at the imposing emperor," Lu Qianfu sneered. These powerful figures from differt sects actually thought they were still in their own territories where they had to be pampered. On Dawu's territory, they had to follow Dawu's rules. "Rubbish!" the man shouted angrily, "We are not subjects of your Dawu!" "You soon will be," replied Lu Qianfu. "Enough, Sun Yan, the purpose of our visit isn't to argue but to solve this issue," the mature and prudt Qingyun Zi said, "Great Wu Emperor, we the Southwest State have always known to not interfere in each other's business with the Great Wu Dynasty. The purpose of your visit is puzzling. Let's discuss and resolve the issues." "Alright, Qingyun Zi, let's not beat a the bush," Chu Yuan slowly said, "The purpose of my personal expedition this time is to expand territories and include the Southwest State into my Great Wu's territory. And all of your sects must be included in my dynasty. The Liuyun Sect had the audacity to covet the world and had violated my taboo. It has be wiped out by me personally. I hope you won't be the next Liuyun Sect."
