Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Do Whatever You Want_1

Inside the temporary camp, hearing the news, the faces of many heads of various major sects showed shock and horror.

They had originally thought that

the large army of Dawu had come to the Southwestern Contint to expand its territory, and their invitation was more for the purpose of extorting some resources from them and intimidating them once again.

But what they never expected was that Chu Yuan actually directly demanded their complete submission, threating to amalgamate all sects into the Great Wu Dynasty.

Everyone was incsed, they all were rulers of the Southwestern Contint.

Some were about to retaliate angrily, but Qingyunzi calmly spoke, "Emperor Dawu, you should know that we will not accept these conditions; this is not a negotiable attitude."

"You have misunderstood, we never stated that we would allow any negotiation. This is our Divine Decree, a notification issued to you all."

Chu Yuan swept his gaze over them, speaking in a monarchial tone, "From today onwards, the Southwestern Contint is under the rule of the Great Wu Dynasty. All sects are to disband their establishmts on the spot. All powerful members of these sects are to be drafted into the army, following the imperial court's instructions for all their actions.

Additionally, anyone who dares to violate the law of Dawu will be executed without mercy. We will allow you some time to familiarize yourselves with the Law of Dawu. Any objections?"

Arrogant, domineering, and audacious to the extreme!

Although the Southwestern Contint did not have any transcdt powers capable of peering into the divine realm, there were nearly t people who were halfway there.

There were innumerable practitioners of divine abilities and now Chu Yuan wanted them to dissolve their sects and merge completely with the imperial court.

These sect powerhouses, however calm they were, could not bear it any longer.

They were clearly not regarded at all, dismissed as disposable fish meat, to be slaughtered at will.

"Hmph! You are dreaming! From what I know, Dawu does not have many individuals halfway to the Divine Realm either. This Southwestern Contint belongs to us. Do you think that bringing a few hundred thousand soldiers will able you to wreak havoc? Under the suppression of the top powerhouses, they will be absolutely useless!

You are ridiculously delusional!"

A strong man from a sect sneered, speaking aloud, "Emperor Dawu, although we are not sure how precisely you exterminated the Liuyun Sect, I can tell you that if you continue like this, you will have to pay a price!"

"Oh? What price am I to pay?" Chu Yuan asked.

"What? The Great Severing Technique? As per the rumours, it can sever everything, ev cutting through space and slicing apart the world!"

Qingyunzi was shocked. The three thousand divine abilities had differt strgths, such as the Great Karma Technique, the Great Time Technique, and the Great Destruction Technique, all of which were extremely powerful. This Great Severing Technique was also one of the top divine abilities.

If Chu Yuan had just launched the Great Severing Technique against him, he would have be caught off guard as well.

And these sect powerhouses gradually understood the horror that the Liuyun Sect had faced.

Now, Chu Yuan's execution of Fg Chg had terrified everybody. Without leaving his imperial seat, he continued, "My patice is wearing thin. Submitting to me is just an afterthought, but if you are stubborn, I won't hesitate to embark on a killing spree. Do not test my patice. I am certainly capable."

"Emperor Dawu, submission to you is absolutely impossible. We can adopt another method."

Qingyunzi was exceedingly apprehsive of Chu Yuan's power, "Although the Southwestern Contint is not exactly a land of affluce, it is near the ocean, vast and rich in resources. Our sects can contribute some treasures to Dawu. Your Majesty, what do you think?

And we also know that Dawu is likely to face a war, our sects can also dispatch some armies, form a sect army, and ld a hand to the Dawu imperial court."

This Qingyunzi was quite adept at understanding the situation.

He knew that Dawu was about to go to war with the Empire of the Four Hidd Nations, with millions of soldiers from both sides facing off at the border.

If it wer't for the formidable power of these nations, these sects would have already extded their grasp, forming a sect army. It seemed like they wanted to help Chu Yuan, but they were actually planning to loot the resources of the other side and reap the befits.

This Qingyunzi was indeed an old, cunning fellow.

"Correct, we can accept these terms. Each of our sects can contribute t individuals who are tth-tier masters of the divine abilities and a thousand divine practitioners. I highly doubt you'll find such a number of divine practitioners in the whole of Dawu."

These sect powerhouses were agreed with this proposal, after all, they all wanted to plunder treasures from within the imperial court.

"You are indeed very ambitious, and your calculations are quite meticulous. But unfortunately, my appetite is far greater than yours."

Chu Yuan waved his hand, "It seems that without the death of a few more individuals, of you will willingly accept reality. In the imperial court, we believe in the principle of the victor being the king and the defeated being the captive. And in your sects, you all believe in the principle of might makes right. Once a certain level of power has be attained, one can do whatever one pleases."

"If you want to do as you please, you'd have to see if I'd allow it!"

At this momt, an ordinary-looking man, with an unremarkable appearance that could easily be overlooked, had a sudd flash of killing intt in his eyes. Like a peerless assassin, he suddly untapped his half-step to Divine Power, his blade cold as it came slashing through the air with lightning speed.
