Peerless: The Evil Soul Master's Guide to Saving the World

"Justice is also a kind of shackle. You need to step outside of justice to look at everything in the world. If you use only a single standard to judge the world, wouldn't everyone be guilty? After all, there are only one or two saints."

Ye Cheng looked at Ye Guyi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a sigh.

"I... understand." Ye Guyi slowly stood up, a hint of understanding in her eyes.

"..."

Xu Cheng glanced at Ye Guyi with a smile, then waved his hand and said, "Let's vacate this entire mansion."

His purpose in this trip was to seize core resources, and coincidentally, under the old system, most resources were highly concentrated in the hands of dukes or local nobles.

So they were already a bunch of fat sheep; slaughtering them would only enrich Xu Cheng.

Xu Jiawei had been eyeing these guys for more than just a day or two, but he was powerless to do anything about it. Now that the latter were "giving up," the rich fortune these nobles had accumulated over thousands of years could only be used as a "pledge of allegiance" to benefit him.

"Send two battalions to deal with the Spirit Bird Sect and the noble mansion of this Salokai. Execute any rebels on the spot without reporting. Send everything you find back to the Empire."

Xu Cheng looked at Huo Lei, the battalion commander of the third battalion of the Fire Phoenix Soul Guidance Group, and gave her some light instructions.

"Yes!"

The latter saluted, his toes touching the ground as he leaped into the air and shouted, "Fire Phoenix Third Battalion, Fourth Battalion, follow me!"

As soon as the words were spoken, crimson figures rose into the air, gave a brief count, and then transformed into fiery red meteors that shot towards the horizon.

"The rest of you, head to the Haotian Sect!"

Xu Cheng looked towards the northwest, his eyes narrowing slightly.

The reason they swept through everything in their path was to give the Haotian Sect no chance to react. At this speed, even if someone noticed and wanted to inform on them, it would definitely be too late...

"Haotian Sect".

Xu Cheng curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

……

Star Luo Empire.

On top of the city wall.

Standing at the highest point of the Star Luo Imperial Capital, the entire ancient city was clearly visible. Xu Jiawei stood quietly here, having watched the entire Continental Soul Master Tournament and witnessed the young man's first appearance on the world stage.

"His Majesty……"

A middle-aged woman slowly walked out from behind him, her expression worried.

"If I'm no longer the emperor in the future, would you still be willing to stay with me?" Xu Jiawei asked wistfully.

"I am His Majesty's person in life, and I will be his person in death..." The Empress was stunned upon hearing this, but she still hurriedly said it. However, before she could finish speaking, Xu Jiawei covered her mouth.

"I know your intentions," Xu Jiawei sighed.

"Your Majesty, have you made your decision?" the Empress asked softly, her expression somber.

“That’s right, he promised me a ticket. Those guys are my pledge of allegiance. I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. If I can really board the giant ship of the Sun Moon Empire, then my Xu family might not be much worse off than it is now,” Xu Jiawei said softly.

"Instead of propping up Xingluo, which is a seemingly bright and beautiful but actually crumbling ancient tree, it would be better to withdraw in time. I only regret that I did not see this sooner... I mistakenly thought that Shrek Academy could still defeat the Sun Moon Empire with a wave of its arm as before."

"Is the Sun and Moon Empire really that powerful?" the Empress asked softly.

"Heh, even the Star Dou Great Forest has been won over by that kid. Even at its peak, the Continental Allied Forces were no match for the Sun Moon Empire. What's more, in this battle, the current Sea God Pavilion Master perished in Mingdu, and the Haotian Sect is now..."

Xu Jiawei sighed softly: "The rise of the Sun Moon Empire is unstoppable."

"Report!" A messenger came from the horizon, rushing to the city wall.

Half kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty, Grand Duke Robin, Lingwen, the leader of the Spirit Bird Sect, Salokai, the head of the old nobles, and their cronies have all been executed, and their three mansions have been looted, but the ordinary soldiers have not suffered any casualties."

"..." Xu Jiawei remained expressionless upon hearing this.

This news will surely cause an uproar throughout Xingluo.

Especially those parasites of the empire, after all, there are far more than just Salokai among the old nobles. He is just their "leader," and there are more than twenty dukes, as well as some reclusive sects.

The consequences of moving one thing can affect the whole situation, which is why he dares not touch these guys.

If things really get out of hand, he won't be able to control it.

But now...

Go talk to Xu Cheng!

"Send two Royal Guard units, along with Cheng Gang, to Parsak Province to take over the army and ensure stability in major cities. Anyone who dares to cause trouble during the chaos will be dragged away and hanged!" Xu Jiawei sneered.

"Furthermore, I will not be seeing any guests for the next few days, not a single one!"

As for traitors… Hmph, I sell out my own country, what's wrong with that?!
……

"No way out? A dead end?"

Tang San, in his divine consciousness, stood atop the Haotian Sect's fortress, overlooking the vast sea of ​​clouds and the breathtakingly sculpted rocks, and pondered.

Da Ming and Er Ming were a step behind, their expressions also filled with worry.

One step after another.

The potential of the Sun Moon Empire is now terrifying. Without divine intervention, no one on the entire continent can rival it, not to mention that it has secretly allied with the Star Dou Great Forest...

No wonder Xu Cheng protected Wang Dong'er to the death when the two of them infiltrated the Sun Moon Empire last time, intending to take her away. It seems he already knew about this.

"How could he deduce my relationship with Xiao Qi?" Tang San frowned.

"It seems so... I asked Tang Chao, and he was the one who took Dong'er to the Star Dou Great Forest. According to his answer, Xu Cheng is terrifyingly talented. He deduced most of the facts based solely on the divine imprint you left in Dong'er's spiritual sea." Da Ming nodded slightly, his expression solemn.

"Damn it!" Tang San gritted his teeth and roared.

He has recently tried to contact his original self multiple times, but all attempts have been in vain.

You know best what you've done.

Before he came, he had blocked this path. It was impossible for the lower realm to contact the main body on its own initiative, and the main body... was probably still leisurely waiting in the God Realm for him to take command.

Damn it!
Tang San was practically swearing.

This deteriorating situation can only be resolved by divine intervention! We must use external forces to forcibly intervene, otherwise, if the Sun and Moon Empire continues to develop for a while, or if other gods discover it, then what's the point of us even playing?

We absolutely, absolutely cannot let them be the first to be discovered by destruction!
Tang San's face turned as bitter as a bitter gourd.

"Boom!"

Just as he was pondering whether to join forces with Shrek Academy to further annoy the Sun and Moon Sect, a booming sound rang out from afar.

"What happened?!" Tang San looked toward the source of the sound, his brows furrowed.

"Oh no! Someone has attacked the Haotian Sect!" Da Ming was the first to react, his powerful aura surging up. "Er Ming, protect the God King, I'll go check..." (End of Chapter)
