"Blend hardness and softness, extinguish fire with water!"
The Sect Master of Cangnan practices water and wood divine abilities.
Facing the sky-covering flames, the Sect Master of Cangnan activated all his mana, transforming it into layers of azure mist, surging out like waves attempting to conquer the fire with water.
Yet, the moment his water met Chu Yuan's fire, it instantly evaporated, clearly outmatched.
"Elders and disciples, activate your water divine abilities. I don't believe that our whole clan's power cannot combat this one person!"
The Sect Master of Cangnan roared loudly.
All of the powerful ones within Cangnan Sect who had reached the Divine Realm instantly activated their mana, pouring out raw energy. The energy converged into a majestic river, surging against the flames in retaliation.
"Any resistance is fruitless!"
Chu Yuan waved the fiery flag of Fen Tian!
Boom!
He scorched the earth and boiled the sea!
Not a single blade of grass remained!
In an instant, the river was boiled dry. The elders and disciples were suddenly hit by rebounded fire, each spewing blood as the flames invaded their bodies.
"Burn for me!"
Chu Yuan blanketed the entire Cangnan Sect with flames, reducing all their grand and gorgeous buildings into ash.
Zhao Kong was terrified. Had he stubbornly resisted, the fate of the Cangnan Sect would have been a perfect illustration of his end.
"Master of Dawu, you are utterly cruel, intending to burn down the foundations of my Cangnan Sect. I will fight you to death!"
Upon seeing the widespread fire, Lin Mu's eyes were bloodshot, his energy boiling with fury. He roared, "Water and wood unite, Black Emperor's tidal punch!"
He launched a punch, creating waves of ripples. Centering him, the void itself seemed to take on a liquid color, as if the ancient Black Emperor retaliated with his own punch.
"Seeking death! The Path of the Imperial Dominator, kind within but conquest without. As the ruler, I expand territories. Cangnan Sect, you've missed out on your best opportunity."
Chu Yuan retaliated with a killing palm strike. The War God's Grasp shone in a molten gold hue under the light of the fire.
Boom!
When the palm fell, the War God's Grasp crumbled all of Lin Mu's mana, trapping him within Chu Yuan's field. Next, they saw a molten golden hand wiping out Lin Mu, rendering his body a bloody mess, almost shattered.
"Greeting your majesty!"
The Sect Master of Cangnan, now not in control of his body, knelt before Chu Yuan.
"Very good, the Soul Control Talisman did not let me down." Chu Yuan felt that controlling the Sect Master of Cangnan was like operating a puppet on strings, he nodded in satisfaction.
"I declare, from today onwards, the Cangnan sect is completely disbanded, all disciples will belong to Dawu, rebellion is not allowed, the rebels will be killed!"
Being controlled by the Soul Control Talisman, the Sect Master of Cağnan had become Chu Yuan's slave.
The elders and disciples of the sect looked terrified, seeing the state of their sect master and hearing this order, they felt as if they had been reprieved. They no longer wanted to resist.
"I'm fortunate to have chosen wisely and submitted. Otherwise, the Sect Master of Cangnan would be the perfect example!"
Zhao Kong felt relieved.
Although he submitted to Dawu, he was still the commander of the Wanxuan Army and held a status in Dawu. In contrast, the other party had become a slave, which was simply horrifying.
"The five legions of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth each need a large number of soldiers and strong ones. Zhao Kong, I do not intend to set up a separate army for the Cangnan Sect, you may recruit soldiers from both sects for the expansion of the Wanxuan Army.
The territories of the two sects should be changed to Wanduan and Cangnan states, the former cities to various county capitals, while the people from the two states, after assessment, may join my Shenwu Army."
Chu Yuan issued consecutive orders, treating the territories of the two sects as his cultivations source.
These individuals were strong, and as long as they were trained to cooperate in team fights, they would make the best soldiers. Regardless of how rebellious anyone was in the past, once they joined his Imperial Dynasty, they all had to obey the rules of Dawu.
"Your servant obeys!"
When Zhao Kong first heard that he could select strong ones from the Cangnan Sect to bolster his Wanxuan Army, he was overjoyed. But then immediately, he broke out in a cold sweat.
The people of the Cangnan Sect definitely would not trust him. Only the Emperor of Dawu would be their master. Incorporating the Cangnan Sect would upset the structure of his Wanxuan Sect. But it was not the time for him to argue.
After seeing the state of the Sect Master of Cangnan, who would dare?
On the other hand, the strength in his hands had indeed increased.
As long as he was loyal to Dawu in the future, he would be a meritorious official. Chu Yuan would not treat him unkindly.
Thinking this way, he sighed. His majesty was truly extraordinary, and his calculations were something he couldn't resist.
He couldn't help but feel a little schadenfreude. Although the Sect Master of Cangnan was a soul-controlled slave, he was a commander of a large army.
"There are still two sects of powerful beings contending over the land of the giant mining vein. To prevent accidental fights, Zhao Kong, come with me."
Chu Yuan waved his hand, and the ancient emperor war chariot rose into the sky, taking Zhao Kong and the Sect Master of Cangnan with him, leaving the place.
