Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

Half an hour later, the battlefield of Yulong Pass gradually ceased, and the fierce fighting turned into wailing and dead bodies.

The smoke-filled city streets were littered with the incomplete corpses of the Condor Empire soldiers. Some were smashed to pieces by the Spider Main Battle Mecha, some were beheaded by flying swords, some were eaten by poisonous insects, and some were hit by the heavy attack arrays of the Flying Magic Boat, leaving no trace of their bodies.

The Daxia monks patrolled back and forth and cleaned up the battlefield, gathering and comforting the civilians who had been looted, while finishing off the Divine Eagle Empire soldiers who were wailing on the ground, completely cutting off their chance of survival.

When the battle was over, it also meant that the Great Xia Dynasty had won the first great victory at Yulong Pass, annihilating 20,000 barbarian warriors of the Divine Eagle Empire in one battle.

Each of these barbarian warriors had some skills, but facing the Great Xia Dynasty army that was several times larger than themselves and whose high-end combat power completely crushed them, they were defeated completely and had almost no ability to fight back.

In the well-preserved general's mansion in Yulong Pass, Su Jie sat at the top seat, with Zhang Junwei, Qin Yushang, Shen Baining, and Wei Yushuang standing on his left and right.

In the middle of the hall, there were two people kneeling on the ground.

One is Zhu Tianyou, the guard of Yulong Pass, who had his acupoints and meridians sealed and was tied up.

One of the most worrying things was Bater, whose legs were cut off. He was ultimately unable to withstand the siege of Wei Yushuang and the three Purple Mansion monks, and was seriously injured and captured.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I was just confused for a moment. I really didn't intend to rebel. My attitude towards these barbarians from the Condor Empire was just false. Don't take it seriously! I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. I hope Your Majesty will spare my life."

Zhu Tianyou burst into tears, begging for mercy repeatedly, full of regret.

"You don't know you're wrong, you just know you're going to die."

Su Jie's eyes were cold. A scum like Zhu Tianyou could not cause any fluctuation in his mood.

"At the beginning, the emperor ordered you to be the commander of Yulong Pass and never treated you unfairly. However, you defected to the Divine Eagle Empire and allowed the cavalry to invade Jinzhou, causing the corpses of the people to be scattered all over the ground. Countless families were destroyed because of this."

On the side, Wei Yushuang couldn't help but frown and glare, gritting his teeth in anger.

Zhu Tianyou was the most important general appointed by their Dali Dynasty on the border, but he let the wolf in, causing the people in the territory to fall under the iron hoof of the Condor Empire and committing numerous bloody crimes.

Thinking of what he had seen and heard in various places in Jinzhou while traveling, the villages burned down by the soldiers of the Divine Eagle Empire, the cities emptied of people by massacre, and the countless tragedies of wives and children being torn apart and families destroyed, Wei Yushuang wished he could cut Zhu Tianyou into pieces.

"Drag him away and torture him thoroughly. Don't let this disloyal, unrighteous fool who colluded with foreigners die so easily."

Su Jie knocked on the table. It would be too easy for him to kill this guy with just one blow. He must make him regret why he didn't commit suicide on the battlefield.

Zhang Junwei beside him understood and nodded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. We are the best at torture. We will use the ten tortures in turn to make him regret being born as a human being."

Ignoring Zhu Tianyou's pleas for mercy and kowtowing, several monks came in and dragged Zhu Tianyou out. A moment later, bursts of shrill howling came from outside. The sound was desperate and shrill, which made people shudder.

Bater, who witnessed the whole scene, trembled slightly when he saw Zhu Tianyou's end.

"Bater, one of the five Dharma Kings of the Condor Empire, nicknamed the Golden Lion Dharma King, is the co-leader of the Condor Empire and the right-hand man of the Divine King Temutu..."

Su Jie told Bater's intelligence information one by one. He was a cultivator in the late Purple Mansion period, and his status in the Divine Eagle Empire was second only to the Divine King Temutu.

"Don't compare me to that coward. Emperor Daxia, you can kill me or chop me up if you want, but don't even think about getting any information from me."

There was a fierce light in Battelle's eyes. Perhaps he knew that he could not escape death, so he behaved very tough.

"Do you think I can't guess your Divine Eagle Empire's plan without you telling me? Aren't you trying to lure me into the grassland and surround and attack me? You even prepared a great Dao formation specifically for this purpose."

Su Jie's expression remained unchanged as he spoke calmly.

"you……"

Battelle's face changed again and again. At the first moment, he thought that there was a traitor in his Condor Empire.

Otherwise, how would Su Jie know their plan.

"Idiot, Zhu Tianyou revealed all your secrets when he was arrested."

Zhang Junwei sneered. When Qin Yushang and the other three Purple Mansion monks besieged Bater, he was responsible for leading the team to capture Zhu Tianyou. This commander of Yulong Pass had no intention of keeping secrets and would not die for the Divine Eagle Empire. He had already told all the plans regarding the Divine Eagle Empire.

"Asshole, this little guy."

Bater's pupils dilated and he was extremely angry.

However, after getting angry, Bater suddenly thought of something and said, "Emperor Xingyuan, since you know the plan and are unwilling to go deep into the grassland, the conflict between our two countries can end. I am willing to mediate for Daxia so that the two countries can end the state of war."

In Bater's opinion, since the plan was exposed, Su Jie would definitely not go deeper into the grassland, and the two countries would naturally not fight. He, the prisoner, might also become one of the requirements for peace talks, and maybe he could be saved with his life.

No one wants to die if they can live.

"hehe!"

However, upon hearing Battelle's naive remarks, Su Jie couldn't help but reveal a mocking look on his face.

"why are you laughing?"

Bater's eyes were gloomy and he felt uncomfortable when Su Jie laughed at him.

Su Jie's smile faded, his eyes indifferent: "Who told you that I want to end the war? You, the Condor Empire, come when you want, fight when you want, and cease fire when you want. You have taken all the good things. Do you think that my Great Xia is the Great Li Dynasty?"

Wei Yushuang: “…”

Su Jie stood up from his seat, walked to Bater step by step, looked down at the Purple Mansion Dharma King in front of him, and said contemptuously: "I don't care about your so-called military encirclement, ambush by the Great Dao Dharma Array, and the four Dharma Kings and the God King joining forces. I will defeat them with my own strength. If the Divine Eagle Empire is not destroyed in this battle, the army will not return to the court without a single person. The fate of your Divine Eagle Empire has long been doomed."

Qin Yushang, Wei Yushuang and others were shocked physically and mentally, feeling the strong domineering tone in Su Jie's words.

Especially Wei Yushuang, as the eldest princess of the former dynasty, she knew the value of Su Jie's words better. Su Jie's remarks just now were something that had never been seen before in the Dali Dynasty. The Dali Dynasty had always compromised repeatedly in the face of the Divine Eagle Empire.

Bater was stunned for several seconds before he reacted and his face turned pale with anger at Su Jie's arrogance.

"Emperor Xingyuan, do you really think you are invincible? You still want to overthrow my Divine Eagle Empire? It's a foolish dream. I think your Great Xia Dynasty will be overthrown by our Divine Eagle Empire cavalry."

Bater roared, knowing that if Su Jie chose to start a war, he would definitely die. "Kill me if you can, and the Lord God King will avenge me."

Bater stretched his neck, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and he spat fiercely at Su Jie. If his acupoints and meridians had not been blocked and his legs had not been cut off, he would have jumped up and rushed towards Su Jie.

Bang!
The spit turned into smoke and dissipated before it even got close. Su Jie's face remained calm. Why would he be angry at a dying man?

"Your reliance, the so-called Divine King Temutu, is nothing but a loser of the Yang Palace Holy Land. He played dead when Emperor Tianwu was alive, but now he dares to come out and stir up trouble. It's ridiculous."

Su Jie said calmly that he had already received information from Zuo Lin of Baibao Pavilion regarding the mysterious so-called God King of the Divine Eagle Empire. Of course, Su Jie bought the information for free this time.

This Tiemutu came from the Yanggong Holy Land, one of the five holy places. He was one of the candidates for the Son of God, but he lost in the election and was excluded by the jealous and ostracized Yanggong Holy Son at that time. In the end, he ran away and came to the Canggu Continent thousands of years ago.

At that time, the Canggu Continent had not yet entered the era of great contention. When the era of great contention began, he encountered Emperor Tianwu again. As a result, Temutu had no will to fight at all. Seeing that Emperor Tianwu was invincible, Temutu buried himself in the ground early using the secret technique of living burials. He had never been unearthed once while Emperor Tianwu was alive.

There was no need for Su Jie to be afraid of such a person. Not to mention that he was a loser in the fight for the title of Holy Son, he had killed real Holy Sons before. The grass on the grave of Meng Lei Ze, the Holy Son of the Nine Skies, was not even tall yet.

"Nonsense, the Lord God King is a real dragon in the world. You, a fake dragon, will be overthrown sooner or later. This world belongs to the Divine Eagle Empire and Lord God King Temutu."

When Bater saw Su Jie wantonly belittling Tiemutu, he became furious and roared continuously.

"Don't worry, I will send the God King you mentioned down to see you soon. I will send you on your way first."

Su Jie opened his right hand, and in front of Bater's horrified gaze, it suddenly fell down and covered his crown.

Bang!
Bater's head shook, and white brain matter flowed out of his seven orifices. At the same time, a hideous and painful soul was pulled out by Su Jie, who looked it up and down, and stuffed it into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner he carried with satisfaction.

Then Su Jie picked up the corpse at his feet, turned around and walked out of the general's mansion, and came to the training ground outside. Qin Yushang and others followed closely.

At this time, the army of monks who were cleaning up the Yulong Pass battlefield had already gathered in the parade ground. The battle just now was nothing at all. In addition, speed was of the essence in war, and there was no time for rest. If there was a slight delay, the Condor Empire would receive the news.

Walking up to the high platform of the parade ground, Su Jie casually hung Bater's body on the central army flag so that all the monks in the parade ground could see it clearly.

"Everyone, this is Bater, one of the five Dharma Kings of the Condor Empire, but he has now become a corpse. What does this mean? This means that the Condor Empire is just a silver-plated spear head, which looks good but is useless."

Su Jie's voice spread throughout the venue like rumbling thunder. The cultivators in the audience were all beaming with joy, feeling proud of it. Although Bater's death was simple, no matter when, killing a Purple Mansion cultivator would be a major event that could shake a country.

“Now we are standing here, at the border Yulong Pass. To the north is the vast grassland where the Divine Eagle Empire’s lair is located, where many nomadic tribes live.

They lived by following water and grass, grazing cattle and sheep. Every winter, they would go south in the name of herding horses, recruit young and strong men from various tribes, send out cavalry to plunder everywhere, take food from the enemy, kill and burn, and even create horrific disasters such as massacre, causing countless bloody incidents.

They in the Condor Empire call this behavior "beating the grass valley", and they treat us people as fodder for harvest."

Su Jie's voice became louder and louder, and his words were sincere. Many monks shared the same hatred for the enemy, and their eyes were full of murderous intent.

“The Divine Eagle Empire has been doing this for countless years. It can be said that the history of the decline of the Dali Dynasty is the history of the rise of the Divine Eagle Empire’s Dacao Valley.

Countless generations of northern civilians died tragically under the iron hoofs of the Condor Empire. Their wives and daughters became tools for their entertainment, and their young and strong became their two-legged sheep, working like oxen and horses for them and dying from exhaustion.

To be honest, before this war started, some ministers in the court offered suggestions and asked me to negotiate with the Divine Eagle Empire and not to resort to violence or start a war lightly.

But looking at the countless people who died tragically in the North, the burned villages and towns, and the wives and daughters who were looted, since I am the emperor of all the people in the world, I cannot remain indifferent. What do you think we should do?"

Su Jie's eyes were as fast as lightning, sweeping across the entire venue.

"war!"

"war!"

"war!"

One hundred thousand monks shouted in unison, their momentum reaching the sky, shattering the clouds in the sky, and the murderous aura filled the entire land.

Around the parade ground, there were some Northern civilians who had just been rescued from the soldiers of the Condor Empire. Their eyes were red, their fists were clenched tightly, and the crowd was in an uproar.

"Kill, kill, kill. I want those grassland barbarians dead."

"Woo woo, Xing Yuan Emperor, please make the decision for us!"

"I also want to join the army to avenge my parents who died tragically at the hands of the barbarians on the grasslands."

These people knelt on the ground outside and petitioned Su Jie in a black mass.

In the past, the Dali Dynasty did not care about their life or death and regarded them as bargaining chips for compromise with the Divine Eagle Empire. Now in the Daxia Dynasty, Emperor Xingyuan treats them as human beings. They suddenly have the idea that a man should die for his friend and are willing to follow Emperor Xingyuan through fire and water.

Wei Yushuang had a complicated expression. She felt a kind of personal charm in Su Jie. Perhaps this was what she imagined an emperor to be like.

"I am the Great Emperor of Xingyuan, and I shall rule for the people."

Su Jie pointed at Bater's body on the central army flag, and asked someone to fetch a carriage wheel, and said in a cold voice: "The Condor Empire dared to plunder our Great Xia border, and our Great Xia will certainly fight back with tooth for tooth, blood for blood. Even if the enemy hides in the vast grassland, our Great Xia Dynasty will not retreat or hesitate. Those who offend our Great Xia will be punished no matter how far away they are.

Pass on my order, all teams bring soul-calling banners, and immediately march into the grasslands and into the heart of the Condor Empire. Any male who exceeds the height of the wheels will be killed to prevent future troubles."

Su Jie pushed the wheel down and laid it flat, his voice revealing a hint of cruelty and ruthlessness.

Most of the cultivators below were from Guiling Palace and did not think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, they responded one after another.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Amid the murderous roars of the monk legions, teams of monks received soul-calling banners from the quartermasters, inserted them on the backs of the Spider's main battle mecha, and then dispersed towards the grassland in a mighty force.
