Special War God

Chapter 297: Rewards for merit, punishment for mistakes

Yi Guangshan said: "The Lord of Yanri Kingdom, Xia Zhongnan!"

Rui Guangyang was puzzled: "I clearly noticed at that time that the person behind Tushan Fei'er was just a cultivator in the Void Realm..."

Yi Guangshan shook his head: "Master Ruiguang, the people of your sect are too indifferent to the kingdom's affairs. How could you not know that although Xia Zhongnan, the master of the Xiari Kingdom, is in the Void Realm, he has already defeated the master of the Daohe Peak? Learn more about his deeds! I think he arranged for Tushan Fei'er to invite you to the Chimang Mountains. There must be a deep meaning. Maybe it was delayed due to other changes. You can weigh it yourself."

After saying this, he sent the guests away and went back to continue the discussion with the ASEAN representatives. Rui Guangyang left the Kuanglan Palace and began to explore the secrets of Xia Zhongnan, the Lord of the Yanri Kingdom.

In the Kingdom of Yanri, on the eighth day after the war preparation meeting, almost all the cultivators in the Void Realm, whether they were people with official identities or high-level leaders of major sects, received orders from the royal court: they must reach the Echo Valley of Yandang Mountain, east of Lingxiu City in Xiuzhou, within one day, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!

You must know that whether it was the Wu Kingdom in the past or the Yanri Kingdom today, the royal court has never directly ordered the monks of the sects.

After some confirmation, the source of the order was impeccable. Even though they had doubts, everyone had no choice but to follow the order and head to the Echo Valley in Yandang Mountain.

The majesty of the royal court cannot be shaken. Since the order says to kill without mercy, there will be no escape and no one dares to disobey.

In the Echo Valley, the mist was lingering, the scenery was hazy, and a mysterious formation was revealed. Qu Tongtian personally led the various ethereal realm monks in, and everyone dispelled their doubts and stepped into the formation one by one.

In fact, the formation here is mainly used to block outside prying eyes. People from outside cannot see clearly into the valley, but people inside have a clear view and can move freely.

Soon, the cultivators in the Void Realm gathered together, and familiar faces greeted each other, speculating in low voices about the purpose of Wang Ting's action.

Most people are unsure, and the few who know the truth keep it secret, so everyone can only wait for the final answer.

There was an endless stream of visitors, and soon there were more than 120 of them. Putting aside the exotic beasts, there were still quite a few ethereal realm monks in the Kingdom of Yanri.

Suddenly, the whole place fell silent. A young man in a black robe slowly walked out from the high platform in front.

Many of the Void Realm monks hurriedly saluted: "Greetings to the Lord of the Kingdom!"

The few who had not seen Xia Zhongnan also followed suit and saluted, then looked up at the young man in front of them. This was the ruler of the Great Sun Kingdom...

Xia Zhongnan stared at the Void Realm practitioners below, his face as cold as frost, and announced: "I am gathering you today to form a team that transcends the Void Realm and fight the Final Battle with the Molech Cult!"

The Void Realm practitioners were in an uproar, with exclamations and whispers of discussion following.

Xia Zhongnan waited for a moment before asking, "Do you have any objections?"

A young-looking Void Realm cultivator retorted: "Your Majesty, although our sect is located in Xia Kingdom, it has never had anything to do with the imperial court and has never received any salary from the imperial court. Now Your Majesty wants to drive us to fight against the Molech Religion, and I am unwilling to do so."

Xia Zhongnan asked: "Whose son are you? What family or sect do you come from?"

The man was speechless and glanced at Xia Zhongnan fearfully, fearing that he would bring disaster to the sect. Someone nearby immediately shouted, "Your Majesty, this man is Teng Defang, from Qingzhou's Qingtian Sect."

Teng Defang immediately turned around and looked at the person who was speaking. Seeing that it was Ning Wangzhi, the governor of Qingzhou, he immediately lowered his head.

Xia Zhongnan declared: "The whole world is the king's land, and all the people are his subjects. Since you live in the territory of Daxia, you should be under the jurisdiction of the court. I tell you, this battle is related to the survival of Daxia, and there can be no mistakes. All practitioners must obey orders and fight. Now I issue a military order: those who shrink back will be beheaded, those who disobey orders will be beheaded, those who flee will be exterminated, and those who rebel will be exterminated with all their clans!"

Upon hearing Xia Zhongnan's strict order, many of the Void Realm cultivators who were forcibly recruited changed their expressions and secretly lamented in their hearts: "It's really like sitting at home and disaster is coming!"

Suddenly, a strong wave of energy stirred everyone's mind. Looking towards the source of the energy, they saw a hill made of Yuanshi standing there.

These Yuan stones are crystal clear, very different from what ordinary people see, and the purity of the Yuan Qi contained in them is far beyond that of ordinary Yuan stones. If you practice with them, it will be a great enjoyment.

Xia Zhongnan said: "Those who make mistakes must be punished, and those who make contributions must be rewarded. These 30,000 high-quality Yuanshi will be rewarded to the warriors who have made heroic contributions in this battle."

Including many court officials, many Void Realm practitioners' heartbeats accelerated. Last time Xia Zhongnan rewarded Lai Junjie and Xia Chaogui with three top-grade Yuanshi, it had set off a wave of enthusiasm in the court, and everyone was eager to receive Xia Zhongnan's reward.

However, Xia Zhongnan's whereabouts were as elusive as a dragon, and it was difficult to even see him, let alone what kind of achievements he would be able to fight for. Unexpectedly, he would take out 30,000 high-quality Yuanshi at one time as a reward for this battle, and the Void Realm practitioners were eager to try.

Xia Zhongnan then reorganized the more than 100 Void Realm practitioners, divided them into 12 teams, promoted trusted people to be the captains of the 10-man team, and put them under the command of Lang Zhengfeng. After arranging the practitioners here, he went to another mountain range in Xiuzhou called Kunling, where Tu Shanfang'er and Bai Ze were leading a group of strange beasts.

The strange beasts are more orderly than humans. Under the leadership of several leader beasts, everything is in order.

Xia Zhongnan, wearing star armor and holding the Liuyun Sword, came to encourage Tushan Fang'er and Bai Ze, and gave them fairy grass, Yuanjing and magic weapons to break the formation as offerings to conquer the evil demons. Then, he rode the wind and went to the Nether Peak where he had agreed with Yuwen Tuo and Ning Yuanfang.

Nether Peak is located in the realm of illusion, and is the most dangerous place closest to the Shadow Cult. It is governed by Liu Dabazi, and operations here are the most secretive. Xia Zhongnan has hidden all his deployments here.

They have gathered fifty powerful men in the Void Realm from Ji and Bi countries, and Liu Dabazi personally led the troops to welcome them.

Seeing Xia Zhongnan coming, Liu Dabazi and the two kings came forward to greet him.

Xia Zhongnan asked: "Is everything okay?"

Yuwen Tuo and Ning Yuanfang replied: "The mission must be accomplished. A hundred powerful Void Realm warriors have arrived, but we still don't know what they are doing."

They kept their mouths shut. Xia Zhongnan said, "Good, line up. I want to teach you a lesson!"

The two kings waved their hands in signal, and two teams of fifty people immediately got ready to go.

Xia Zhongnan stepped forward, followed closely by the two kings.

When the hundreds of powerful Void Realm warriors saw Xia Zhongnan appear, many of them felt uneasy.

Xia Zhongnan had visited the capitals of the two countries before, and most of the powerful people in the Void Realm knew him, but only a few from the border areas of the two countries had never met him.

Xia Zhongnan stood on the altar, looking down at the hundreds of powerful Void Realm warriors below: "There are many of you who are familiar with me. I am the Lord of Great Xia, Xia Zhongnan."

Many powerful people in the Void Realm secretly said in their hearts: "How could I not recognize him? The figure who suppressed the capital will never be forgotten!"
