A Victory Left Incomplete

Ba Shenhuang nodded slightly. "That Demon King was quite powerful. It took me twenty moves to severely injure him, but unfortunately, his subordinates rescued him, and I was unable to kill him."

Si Ming, "The Demon Race is an ally of your Remote Heaven Society. Rather than waiting for you to invite the Demon King to help, we might as well take the initiative and cut off one of your arms."

"Is it truly a flawless plan, leaving us not even the slightest hope of turning the tide?" Nether Lord shook his head and sighed. "It seems this operation is destined to fail; we have no choice but to retreat."

Despite her resentment, the Moth Emperor had to abandon her desperate plan when she sensed the imposing aura emanating from Ba Shenhuang, especially since her allies were about to flee.

"If I let you leave, how can I have the nerve to call myself 'the Calculates All Ghosts and Gods'?"

"Oh, it's undeniable that the God of War God's strength ranks among the top five in the world, but if we want to leave, you'll find it extremely difficult to stay." The Nether Lord activated his Divine Arts, intending to lead everyone away.

At this moment, Si Ming turned to the Moth Emperor and said, "The Remote Heaven Society is only using you and has no sincerity towards you. Why don't you consider cooperating with us?"

"What!" Even the Moth Emperor hadn't considered this suggestion. "Do you know what I want? If you knew, you wouldn't have uttered such a ridiculous suggestion."

Si Ming shook his head and said, "It's not funny at all. We investigated the past intelligence. When the Divine Pillar was established, many Monster Race were sealed away. I suppose you cooperated with the Remote Heaven Society to rescue your clan?"

"That's right. Do you also intend to sever the Divine Pillar?"

"No, you've misunderstood something. The Divine Pillar is the Divine Pillar, and the seal is the seal. To rescue your people, you only need to break the seal; you don't necessarily have to sever the Divine Pillar. With more research, we'll eventually find a way to break the seal without harming the Divine Pillar. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

"Is such a thing possible?" Though her tone was doubtful, the Moth Emperor revealed an expression of interest.

"Don't trust this person..."

Just as Nether Lord was about to speak to stop them, Ba Shenhuang immediately attacked the three members of the Remote Heaven Society, giving them no chance to speak.

Si Ming pressed his advantage. "Cooperating with the Remote Heaven Society is pointless. Even if you rescue your people, what then? Severing the Divine Pillar means you will become the common enemy of the Sea Continent people, forever unable to see the light of day, with no place to stand. Moreover, you killed many people of the Su State when you broke the seal, offending the Mohist School family. The only ones in the world with the courage and ability to protect you are our Military School. Once your people are rescued, our Nation of Valor can allocate a piece of land for you to live on."

Upon hearing this, the Moth Emperor's eyes shone brightly. She didn't want to hide like a rat, but she had no choice before and could only cooperate with the equally shameful Remote Heaven Society. Compared to an Evil Dao organization, a country was definitely more worthwhile to pledge allegiance to, especially a first-rate power.

In this world, only Germany and Nation of Valor can withstand the pressure from the Su State. However, Germany has always been unwilling to provoke trouble and avoids problems if possible. In addition, it has a good relationship with the Su State and would not offend the Mohist School for the sake of a group of Monster Race. However, the Military School and the Mohist School are enemies. Nation of Valor does not need to give face to the Su State. If there is any hope of seeking refuge, only Nation of Valor can meet the conditions.

But the Moth Emperor still had some concerns. "Monster Race and Human Race cannot coexist. Since you investigated my intelligence, you should know that Monster Race are beings that distort reality..."

"I know that your Monster Race feeds on negative human emotions, especially fear. So the method is simple: we build a large haunted house, you Monster Race create illusions to scare people, and we attract a large number of tourists through advertising. In this way, we can obtain a continuous stream of fear and incidentally boost the entertainment industry. Just be careful not to scare people to death."

If there are too many Monster Race, this method will certainly not work, but Si Ming felt that after being suppressed by the Divine Pillar for so many years, even if the Monster Race have long lifespans, they should be almost all dead by now.

The Moth Emperor paused for a moment, then said, "How can I trust you?"

"We will not impose any restrictions on you. You are free to come and go as you please. If in the future you feel that we have no integrity, or that we cannot find a way to break the seal, then you are free to leave. With your strength, we cannot keep you here."

Anyway, let's lure them here first. Then we'll use all our emotional and financial cards to keep them in the Divine Strategy Office. If we can get another Peak Spirit Transformation fighter for our forces, Si Ming thinks he can laugh out loud in his dreams.

The Moth Emperor pondered for a moment, then finally decided, "Remote Heaven Society dishonest first, they won't blame me for being unjust in return."

Si Ming smiled and said, "Can I take that as a sign that we're happy to cooperate?" He then extended his hand.

Instead of shaking hands, Moth Emperor said, "I've heard that your Human Race has a custom called a pledge of allegiance before joining a group. I'll use these three from the Remote Heaven Society as my pledge of allegiance." With that, she pounced on Nether Lord and the others.

Si Ming paused for a moment, then quickly reminded him, "Try to catch them alive."

"Rest assured."

With the addition of the incredibly fast King of Monsters Moth Emperor, the three members of the Remote Heaven Society had no chance of escape. Not to mention, there was also a War God of the Military School. In less than ten moves, the three were easily captured. However, Nether Lord chose to self-destruct when he was captured, which surprised everyone. Fortunately, Shentu Chuang and Li Shuang were still alive, so their efforts were not in vain.

Ba Shenhuang threw down the two men whose acupoints were sealed, and asked Si Ming, "Next target?"

Si Ming said in a solemn tone, "Military God, I suspect he is a member of the Remote Heaven Society."

"It's him!" Ba Shenhuang's expression shifted slightly, then he laughed heartily, "Excellent! I've long wanted to spar with him and see who is truly superior, the Military God or the War God!"

Si Ming sighed. If he could, he really didn't want to face that Military God who was also known for his strategy. However, glancing at the Moth Emperor beside him, he thought to himself that he now had a 70% chance of winning and could go all out. A sense of pride welled up in his heart.

"Now, the future is even more interesting!"

Volume Eleven: A Word of Advice to Yourself Not to Waste Your Golden Robe

Chapter 706 Unfinished Mission

"Thank you all for coming from afar to help."

At the foot of the Divine Pillar, Si Ming was bidding farewell to the reinforcements from the Barbarian Continent. The Flesh and Blood Wormhole could not be maintained for long. If they did not hurry back, they would have to wait for Yu Shuying to collect materials again before setting up the formation. Although those materials were not rare treasures, they were not something that could be collected at will.

"Actually, it's not a thousand miles away. Although Barbarian Continent and Sea Continent are indeed thousands of miles apart, we only crossed a secret passage."

"Namo Glazed Medicine Buddha, as long as the scourge of this Monster Race can be eliminated, we will travel thousands of miles without hesitation."

"So the leader is from the Sea Continent. No wonder I've never heard of the 'Ming Cult' before. It seems the Ming Cult is quite a martial arts holy land here."

Si Ming recalled that he had indeed made such a boast back then, in order to create a mysterious and powerful background for himself. Thinking of this, he was even more determined not to keep the person. If the boast was exposed, what would become of his image as a wise and powerful leader of the alliance?

"In the fight against the Monster Race, many heroes sacrificed their lives, and I am deeply ashamed that I could not attend their funerals. I hope you can convey my apology and gratitude to them."

The dead were mostly killed instantly by the Moth Emperor, unable to withstand a single blow from the King of Monsters, but they all sacrificed themselves to help him, and the guilt on Si Ming's face was genuine.

A wounded man glanced at the corpse on his back and said, "To be called a hero by the Alliance Leader, my friend would be proud if he knew in the afterlife. Alliance Leader, there's no need to feel guilty. We Jianghu people are born to live on the edge. Compared to dying of old age in a sickbed or at the hands of petty villains, to die for righteousness is enough. I have no regrets in this life."

"Namo Glazed Medicine Buddha, not to mention that we all did so voluntarily. Back then, the Heavenly Martial Alliance stood up to protect our temple, facing the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King alone. The entire temple remembers this kindness. Now, we have only repaid one ten-thousandth of it."

People living in the Jianghu era are obviously much more carefree than people in peaceful times. Even if they can't say they laugh at life and death, they still have a kind of heroic spirit. In particular, the monks of Glazed Temple who dared to confront the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King are still alive.

Si Ming watched everyone leave, and after the last person disappeared, he noticed that the Flesh and Blood Wormhole was not closed. He then looked at Yu Shuying questioningly.

"I plan to go to the Barbarian Continent," Yu Shuying said without looking away. "The Heaven-Defying Society probably be lying low for a while, since their reputation has plummeted. Anyone who dares to show their face will be an enemy of the martial arts world. Rather than being idle by your side, they should find a way to improve their cultivation first."

Si Ming quickly replied, "I don't want you to stay by my side just because you're useful to me."
