The Dust Settles, Life and Death Decided in a Word
"Please, senior, help me!"
Princess Changle's voice, filled with pleading and... a glimmer of hope, echoed across the now desolate ruins.
All the surviving powerful demonic cultivators and the rebellious patriarchs of the aristocratic families were horrified the moment they heard these words!
The Fifth Prince, even more incredulous, stared at that woman who should have been utterly defeated... his "good sister"!
He never dreamed that she would dare to stand up at this moment!
However, Dongfang Yueming simply shook his head calmly.
"This matter has nothing to do with me."
Having said that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"What?!"
Upon hearing this!
Princess Changle's face instantly drained of all color!
Those powerful figures from the demonic path and aristocratic families, who were still filled with fear, all breathed a sigh of relief!
[Very good!]
He... he doesn't care anymore!
In the Fifth Prince's eyes, the flame of "ambition" was rekindled once more!
[Hmph! You're smart to know what's good for you!]
[Once I have complete control of this world, I will slowly and meticulously mold you!]
Just then!
Princess Changle suddenly spoke again!
Her voice was filled with an undeniable... resolute determination!
"Our Great Qian Dynasty is willing to continue to serve our predecessors as our masters!"
"For generations to come, we will offer sacrifices to you!"
Upon hearing this!
Those powerful figures from the demonic path and aristocratic families who had just breathed a sigh of relief now had their hearts in their throats again!
They all watched with tense expressions as the figure in green robes was about to depart!
I'm afraid he might change his mind because of these huge profits!
However, Dongfang Yueming remained steadfast, never turning his head back.
I said that.
From now on, we will have no further connection.
"Call..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief once again.
The Fifth Prince's face revealed a smug smile!
Princess Changle, on the other hand, was completely plunged into endless... despair.
Just then!
Dongfang Yueming's calm voice drifted over once more.
"But..."
"To take action, that's not out of the question."
"Only..."
"... It will cost more."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Princess Changle was first taken aback, and then her eyes burst forth with unparalleled... ecstatic joy!
"Rest assured, Senior!" Without hesitation, she patted her chest and assured him, "As long as Senior is willing to help, all the treasures within the treasury of my Great Qian Dynasty are at your disposal!"
"Very good."
The Dongfang Yueming, and finally, the journey came to a halt.
As for those powerful figures from the demonic path and aristocratic families, they were completely panicked!
"Senior... Senior, spare my life!"
We are willing to submit!
We are willing to serve our seniors like oxen and horses!
However, why would Dongfang Yueming pay them any attention?
He simply waved his hand casually.
"Boom--!!!!"
In an instant!
Regardless of those arrogant patriarchs of powerful families!
Or perhaps, those ferocious and terrifying demonic powerhouses!
In that instant, everything turned into dust that filled the sky!
With a casual wave of his hand, Dongfang Yueming collected all the dozens of unclaimed storage rings into his pocket.
Now, only the Fifth Prince, who was already terrified, remained, limp on the spot, trembling!
"Senior... Senior, spare my life!"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty! Save me! Save me!"
Dongfang Yueming looked at him, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.
He turned his head and looked at Princess Changle, who was already standing there, stunned.
What should be done with him?
Princess Changle looked at the man who had killed her father and overthrown the entire dynasty, yet now, like a stray dog, wagging his tail and begging for mercy... "Good brother."
A flicker of deep... disgust flashed in her eyes.
"Kill!"
[Kill?!]
Upon hearing this!
All the surviving members of the royal family and the civil and military officials present were utterly horrified!
[She... she actually... is going to kill her own brother?!]
The Fifth Prince, even more incredulous, stared at that woman who should have been utterly defeated... his "good sister"!
"No--!"
"Royal sister! You can't kill me! I..."
"Noisy."
Dongfang Yueming glanced at Princess Changle with some surprise. After experiencing the destruction of her family, she seemed to have undergone a complete transformation in an instant.
Then, he simply and casually pointed out with one finger.
"Pfft--!"
The Fifth Prince's roar, filled with fear and resentment, abruptly ceased.
Princess Changle watched the blood mist slowly dissipate, and felt that the heaviest stone in her heart had finally been lifted.
She slowly stood up.
He bowed deeply to that figure, which resembled a god or demon.
"Thank you, senior."
"Alright," Dongfang Yueming said calmly, looking at her, "Now, it's time to talk about compensation."
"Yes."
