"Enough!!"
Nalan Xun roared, trembling all over. "No... no, it's not like this!"
"Tian Yuan still exists!"
"Tian Yuan still exists!!"
"Useless! I thought you, Nalan Xun, were still a man. Today, I see you are nothing more than this!"
Cao Wei shook his head. Before attacking the Tian Yuan Divine Dynasty, the situation there had already been thoroughly investigated through the intelligence provided by the Brocade-Clad Guards.
He had intended to subdue the Nalan family, and Nalan Xun had decent potential. As a prodigy of the new generation of the Nalan family, he was only five million years old and had already achieved the Holy Lord realm.
Subduing the Nalan family would also be a feather in the cap of the Great Han Divine Dynasty.
"You~!!"
Nalan Xun looked up in anger, but the words died on his lips. No one understood the situation of the Tian Yuan Divine Dynasty better than he did.
His choice today was merely due to his lack of ability to move the Tuoba family. What was even more infuriating was the decline of the Imperial Vein lineage. Three consecutive Divine Emperors had been lacking in ambition, relying on powerful officials. The Tuoba family had thus gained its current supreme power over three generations.
Nalan Xun, out of desperation, had trapped himself, living in the dream he had woven for himself. He was unwilling to awaken and face the chaotic Tian Yuan.
Torn apart mercilessly by Cao Wei today, Nalan Xun suddenly felt an emptiness within him, a void where nothing remained. How ridiculous his past convictions had been.
"Hahahaha!!"
Nalan Xun knelt on the ground, throwing his head back and laughing ferociously.
"Nalan Xun, my commander sees your unwavering loyalty to the nation, a rare sight in this chaotic era. My commander values talent and wishes to recruit you as a Deputy General of the White Tiger Legion of the Great Han Divine Dynasty!"
"If you are willing to surrender, the Nalan family will enjoy the grace of the Great Han!"
Xin Qiji stroked his beard, his long sword at his waist shimmering slightly, emitting a sword aura that cut through the air.
Upon hearing this, Nalan Xun's body trembled slightly, and a divine light flashed in his eyes. Su Dan Novel Network
"Surrendering to the Great Han Divine Dynasty is your honor, the supreme honor of your entire Nalan family. In this plane, not everyone can bow down and pledge allegiance to a Divine Emperor!"
Cao Wei glanced at him, then turned to leave. "Han Shizhong, you will lead the First Army to garrison Tianlan City and strictly guard Purple Cloud Mountain and Sword Palace."
"If either of them dares to approach within thirty li of Tianlan City, the army will march out and annihilate them!"
"Your orders, General!"
At this moment, Han Shizhong, covered in blood, walked to the edge of the deep pit. He looked at Nalan Xun kneeling on the ground, and after a long pause, he spoke, "The defenders of Tianlan City numbered over 1.2 million. Over 500,000 were killed, and the rest have all surrendered!"
"Nalan Xun, if you surrender, these armies will still be under your command!"
"Hmm?"
Nalan Xun's head shot up. He had not expected that the army of Tianlan City had not all been killed by the Great Han. Seventy million troops, seventy million troops. The vast majority of Tianlan City was his life's work.
Seventy million troops were still alive!
"General Han, does General Cao's previous offer still stand?"
Nalan Xun, his complexion gradually calming, asked softly.
"Of course!"
Han Shizhong wiped the blood from his armor, looked at Nalan Xun, and said.
"Nalan Xun is willing to surrender to the Great Han Divine Dynasty!!"
Nalan Xun stood up and, facing the direction of Great Han Chang'an City, knelt down. "Nalan Xun is willing to lead the Nalan family to surrender to the Divine Emperor!"
"Long live the Divine Emperor, long live, long live, long live!!"
"From this day forth, you are the Deputy General of the Third Army of the White Tiger Legion, and these seventy million troops will be under your command!"
Han Shizhong smiled slightly, glanced at Nalan Xun, and turned to Zhan Deli. "Notify the entire army to clean up the battlefield and reinforce the defenses!"
......
"Palace Master, do you think the Great Han Divine Dynasty's Qiongqi Legion and Jinni Legion will sweep through the Demon Sea Marsh? Will the Demon Sea Lord be a match for the Great Han's Meng Tian?"
In the six Dao Provinces controlled by the Second Palace Master of the Tai Xuan Palace, the Second Palace's territory was also the westernmost part of the Tai Xuan Palace, all bordering Wolong Abyss.
In the center of the Second Palace's central dominion, a palace floated in the air, with white clouds flowing around it and abundant spiritual energy.
Inside the great hall, a sage, his face grave, asked the Second Palace Master.
When the Great Han Divine Dynasty declared war on the four major powers, all beings considered it a great joke. But after the defeat of the Thunder Cloud Hall, all beings realized that this newly risen power was not as weak as they had imagined.
However, shortly after, the four Holy Lords of the Demon Sea Marsh perished, and a million-strong army was annihilated in a single battle by the Great Han. In an instant, the Great Han Divine Dynasty had seemingly replaced the Demon Sea Marsh's position, becoming a power second only to the three overlords of the Western Frontier.
Just now, he had received news that the Great Han's Vermillion Bird Legion had already besieged the Thunder Cloud Hall's location. Given the terrifying combat power of the Vermillion Bird Legion, the Thunder Cloud Hall was likely finished.
"The current situation is difficult to analyze. The annihilation of the Thunder Cloud Hall is a foregone conclusion. We still need to observe the Demon Sea Marsh!"
"However, do not worry. No matter how powerful the Great Han Divine Dynasty is, it is separated from our Tai Xuan Palace by dozens of Dao Provinces."
"Wolong Abyss is the dragon hunting ground for all Western Frontier forces. The Great Han Divine Dynasty will not dare to provoke the Dragon Lords of the three overlords. You can rest assured!"
The Second Palace Master, with a kind and benevolent demeanor, spoke in a gentle tone.
As he spoke, the panic throughout the great hall subsided. In just a few words, without any oppressive aura or deterrence, he simply said what they wanted to hear!
"Palace Master, I still believe we should remain vigilant against the Great Han Divine Dynasty. This border region should be well-guarded!"
A sage stood up, bowed to the Second Palace Master, and spoke. However, as soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of all beings in the great hall changed instantly, and they all looked towards the outside of the hall.
The Second Palace Master hurriedly stood up, waved his hand, and vanished from the hall. The land for ten thousand li remained as it was, but an indescribable danger sent a tremor through his heart!
But suddenly, the white clouds in the western sky abruptly scattered, layers of flames surged upwards, and the land for ten thousand li instantly turned into a sea of fire, its light illuminating all directions!
Then, a terrifying killing intent swept over!
"Palace... Palace Master, that direction is the western border!!"
A sage trembled, looking at the western sky ablaze with fire. The western border adjoined Wolong Abyss.
Wolong Abyss was a no-man's-land. Who would cause trouble on their border? Judging by the commotion, it was not small, and it had directly shaken the location of their palace.
The Second Palace Master narrowed his eyes. Faintly, he saw phantom figures of armies sweeping across the land.
A banner burning with fierce flames flapped in the sea of fire!
"What is that?"
The Second Palace Master murmured softly, his pupils contracting incessantly. Suddenly, he cried out, "Quick! Enemy attack!! Notify the disciples to defend!! Quick! Enemy attack!!"
