An army at the gates of Nether City

Three days later.

The Nether City, the Duke's Mansion.

In the Back Courtyard, in the scenic pavilion.

Qian Renxue, Bai Wanwan, and Zhu Zhuqing sat in the pavilion, chatting and laughing.

And at that very moment...

The sound of footsteps could be heard outside the pavilion.

Everyone looked toward the source of the sound and saw Yang Wushuang walking briskly toward the pavilion.

"Young Master, Young Lady."

"A large army of around 100,000 men, bearing the banner of the Star Luo Imperial Family, is approaching Nether City. At their current marching speed, they are expected to arrive in Nether City this afternoon."

Yang Wushuang reported the Message she had gathered in detail.

"An army of 100,000?"

Qian Renxue muttered to herself, then reached out and patted Bai Wanwan's slender waist, saying, "The Star Luo Imperial Family has sent a large army; they seem to be angry."

Upon hearing this, Bai Wanwan continued peeling lychees without a care and fed the peeled lychees to Qian Renxue.

"An army of 100,000—that sounds like a lot."

"Little Xie, can you handle this?"

Bai Wanwan looked at the Evil Emperor leaning against an ancient tree and asked softly.

"Kill them all?"

"It will take a little time."

The Evil Emperor crossed his arms, speaking in a very calm tone, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

Hmm~

In the Spirit Master World, an ordinary Spirit Emperor is enough to deal with an army of several thousand people.

For Demigod like the Evil Emperor, who stand at the very top of the Pyramid, no matter how large their army is, it's meaningless unless their quality can be improved.

The only troublesome aspect of an army of 100,000 men in the eyes of the Evil Emperor is that it would take some time to kill them all.

After all, an army is made up of people, not fearless machines. Once the death toll reaches about one-third, morale is basically destroyed, and the problem then becomes collapse.

If the army collapses, it will actually take the Evil Emperor some time to annihilate them all.

"Forehead..."

"There's no need to go that far. Just bring back the army's commanders or leaders."

"By the way, it has to be alive."

"Half-dead is fine, but they must be alive."

Bai Wanwan coughed lightly, tidied the stray hairs by her ears, and looked intently at the Evil Emperor.

"No problem."

I'll go right now.

The Evil Emperor straightened his clothes and prepared to leave.

"Wait, there's no need to rush."

"You can make your move once they arrive."

Bai Wanwan called out to the Evil Emperor was about to leave.

The Evil Emperor paused for a moment, nodded to Bai Wanwan, and then leaned back against the ancient tree.

After exchanging a glance, Bai Wanwan and Qian Renxue led Zhu Zhuqing toward the Hall, intending to find Nether Duke.

Afternoon.

The gates of the Nether City were tightly shut.

Qian Renxue, Bai Wanwan, Xie Di, Evil Emperor Ling Yuan, Yang Wudi, and Nether Duke stood on the city wall, silently watching the billowing dust at the end of their line of sight.

Riding Warhorse and clad in armor, the army emerged from the billowing dust and headed straight for the Nether City.

"Yo~"

"They're all cavalry, Hundred Thousand Iron Cavalry."

Bai Wanwan leaned forward, carefully observing the Hundred Thousand Iron Cavalry approaching from afar.

When Bai Wanwan noticed the Dragon Carriage in the center of the army, her eyes lit up almost imperceptibly.

Within the Star Luo Empire, the person surrounded by Hundred Thousand Iron Cavalry in the center, riding in Dragon Carriage, was undoubtedly the Star Luo Emperor.

"Little Xie, do you see the Dragon Carriage in the center of the army?"

"When we make our move, ignore everyone else and just bring the people from the Dragon Carriage back to me."

Bai Wanwan pointed to the location of the Dragon Carriage and spoke softly.

"Good."

The Evil Emperor agreed and then fixed his gaze on the Dragon Carriage.

"By the way, I want it alive, not a corpse."

Bai Wanwan gave a slightly worried reminder.

"Clear."

The Evil Emperor nodded, indicating that Bai Wanwan could rest assured.

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves gradually reached everyone's ears.

The commotion created by the galloping of Hundred Thousand Iron Cavalry gave one the illusion that the earth itself was trembling.

Soon, the army of Hundred Thousand Iron Cavalry stopped not far from the Nether City. A road parted in the middle of the army, and the Dragon Carriage drove out from the parted road.

Dai Tian stepped out of the Dragon Carriage and looked at the people standing on the city wall.

"I've heard that His Your Highness Cang Lan and Chi Yang of the Heaven Dou Empire have come to stay temporarily at the Nether Duke Mansion."

"It would be beneath the dignity of Princely Title to temporarily reside in the Duke's Mansion. I have specially sent someone to invite you both to stay at the Imperial Palace temporarily. We can discuss any matters there at our leisure."

Dai Tian's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of Qian Renxue, Bai Wanwan, and the others.

"The fact that His Your Majesty sent Hundred Thousand Iron Cavalry to invite us is enough to show how much he values us, the two sisters."

"We've traveled a long way from Heaven Dou City to Nether City, and we're exhausted from the journey. We haven't had a proper rest yet, so we won't go to the Imperial Palace. However, we will invite His Your Majesty to Nether City. We can discuss anything there."

Bai Wanwan gave a gentle smile as she looked down at Dai Tian, but secretly gave the Evil Emperor a wink.

"Rest assured."

The Evil Emperor uttered two words softly, his gaze fixed intently on Dai Tian.

"Siege."

"But remember, you must not harm the Two Princely Titles, Cang Lan Chi Yang."

After giving an order to the Grand General commanding the army, Dai Tian returned to the Dragon Carriage.

The Dragon Carriage gradually retreated to the rear of the army.

The reason Dai Tian instructed the Grand General not to harm Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan was because he only wanted to deter them and let them know that the affairs of the Star Luo Empire were not something they could interfere with.

They didn't really want to be locked in a life-or-death struggle with the King Canglan's Mansion.

After all, the power displayed by the King Canglan's Mansion is enough to make any force feel wary.

The Grand General rode forward, glanced briefly at the layout of the city walls, and then ordered about 30,000 troops to dismount and launch an attack on Nether City.

Nether City was originally a city within the Star Luo Empire, and the Nether Duke was also a subject of the Star Luo Emperor. Therefore, breaking through the city gates of Star Luo City was not a difficult task in the eyes of the Grand General.

Watching the army's movements, Bai Wanwan gently waved her hand. "Little Xie, it's your turn."

"Give them a shock."

"Let them see what it means to take the enemy emperor from among ten thousand troops as easily as taking something out of a bag."

Bai Wanwan gave the instructions softly.

"Is it shocking?"

The Evil Emperor murmured to himself, and his figure vanished from the spot in a few flashes.

He had already given the other party a shock, and he knew what to do.
