Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1302: Chapter 1270: Many Citizens Survived

At the same time as the breakthrough of Heishui Minor World, Yellow Sand Minor Realm.

The Immortal Gate Recruitment Fleet attacked, countless cannons blasted towards the army formation of the ruling race, Crystal-tailed Demon Scorpions. Fire Spirit Dao Body Huo Baosan was the first to charge, like a blazing giant wielding a Flame Greatsword, slashing down with one strike, leaving countless Crystal-tailed Demon Scorpions’ bodies shattered.

These so-called rulers, these so-called kings, were utterly defeated under the assault of the First Group Army and Huo Baosan.

Even though Huo Baosan could not compare to the Immortal Sect Disciples and lacked substantial resources for training, his innate talent as a Human Fire Spirit Dao Body surpassed that of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan’s Emperor, and his strength also exceeded theirs.

The slave clans of these Minor Thousand Worlds were too fragile before an Emperor and a truly organized fleet.

With just one round of attack, the supposedly impenetrable formation of the Crystal-tailed Demon Scorpions was completely shattered, followed by a relentless pursuit.

The Crystal Tail King, sensing the dire situation, attempted to flee.

But shortly after escaping the realm wall and traveling through the starry sky, he was caught by Huo Baosan, who beheaded him with a single sword stroke.

From then on, this slave king, once teeming with endless ambition, perished.

The fleet of the First Group Army slowly entered the Yellow Sand Minor Realm, starting the execution of all demons that were meant to be executed, restoring the order of the Immortal Sect, establishing teleportation formations, and resuming production.

In a short time, the rebellion in the Yellow Sand Minor Realm, Heishui Minor World, and Magical Stone Minor Realm was completely crushed, with even their rulers unable to escape, nearly driving the ruling races to extinction, causing a massive upheaval in the neighboring domains.

Many rulers were terrified, restless, either fleeing, banding together, or seeking external intervention, desperately searching for survival.

…

Great Sun Heavenly Pond.

“Vice Marshal!”

“It is expected that in another two years, we will be able to form the Third and Fourth Group Armies.”

The Chief of Staff of the Second Expeditionary Army reported: “The newly formed Third and Fourth Group Armies are lacking in strength, so it is recommended to assign Hua Teng Heavenly Monarch and Leopard Third Heavenly Monarch as deputy commanders for these two armies, to escort these fledgling conscripted fleets and complete the pacification of a world.”

“The First and Second Group Armies already possess independent combat capabilities, and they should each be responsible for a strategic attack in a different direction. If they encounter difficulties, they can seek help from Hua Teng Heavenly Monarch, but only limited to the suppression of the second and third worlds.

Beginning with the fourth world, Hua Teng Heavenly Monarch are no longer obliged to support their battlefield without special reasons, and success or failure will be left to fate.”

“Following this principle, the army of the Immortal Sect will continue to diversify and grow.”

“If a fleet is completely destroyed, then another fleet will be formed, to forge the conscripted army we need from the fires of war and life and death.”

The Chief of Staff, Shanjian True Monarch, said somewhat coldly.

The conscripted fleet is fundamentally weak, its members are cultivators from the surrendered myriad races, with diverse origins, inconsistent strength, and significant differences in customs and habits, with mutual hatred not uncommon.

Only through the war of life and death can these chaotic elements be eliminated, forming a strong army.

This is a righteous act by the Immortal Sect.

Because under the rule of the Magic Stone Clan, Blue Electric Snake Demon, Crystal-tailed Demon Scorpions and the like, their lifespan was limited, their lives could be taken at any moment, and in terms of death toll, over a long time span, it was far greater than those killed in war.

And now, the Immortal Sect has provided every race’s cultivators with a path to rise, which is sure to unite the powerful cultivators among them.

Because they gain battle merits in the process, immense benefits, as well as cultivation base and lifespan increases.

Killing and hunting had originally been a part of their life, not so comfortable.

“Proceed accordingly.”

Jiang Ding said indifferently.

In the circumstance where the myriad races have different thoughts, with thinking going in opposite directions and fundamentally unable to coexist, only the cold and ruthless rules within the domains can be adhered to in all four directions.

Mercy can be shown when coexisting becomes possible in the future, but not out of feminine benevolence now.

Everything is for the Righteous Dao within the domains!

Everything is relative.

There is no doubt that compared to the Horned Demon Imperial Clan and the many ruling races of Minor Thousand Worlds that are more brutal and cruel after the rise of the slave clans, the order of the Immortal Sect is justice, an order that can benefit more people, allowing more of the myriad race cultivators to live in stability.

This is the Righteous Way!

This is the order the myriad races need to acknowledge.

“Yes.”

Shanjian True Monarch put away the documents, respectfully took leave, and went to execute his orders.

Meanwhile, another army staff officer entered, saluted, and reported: “Vice Marshal, the envoys of the ruling races from the remaining nine small thousand worlds in the Flame Stone Star Domain are kneeling outside the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, bearing bruises to plead guilty, among them are two Nascent Soul cultivators, should we summon these enemies?”

“Invite these fellow Daoists in.”

Jiang Ding said indifferently.

No matter how hostile, communication is necessary. This is the foundation for the advancement of all Immortal Tao civilisations, indispensable.

“Greetings, Great Sun Celestial Lord!”

“Greetings, Immortal Sect Envoy…”

“Greetings…”

After a moment, nine envoys knelt in salute.

They brought a large envoy delegation to sue for peace and plead guilty with bruises, but only the nine strongest gained an audience with the Great Sun Celestial Lord.

Among them were three Human cultivators, two Nascent Soul monks, one Divinity Transformation cultivator, and six cultivators of all races, with one Divinity Transformation cultivator and five Nascent Soul monks.

In common, all of them were trembling before the Great Sun Celestial Lord, with no difference.

“Fellow Daoists, please rise.”

Jiang Ding gestured with his left hand, supporting them to stand.

“Celestial Lord, we have realized our mistakes and are willing to hand over the criminals, compensate with three pieces of Fifth Order Treasures, fifty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, numerous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and twenty thousand pairs of slave clan concubines and maidservants…”

Just after standing, a Yellow Rock Giant couldn’t wait to speak.

“Celestial Lord, my clan is willing to compensate…”

One by one, the envoys respectfully spoke, each giving out vast amounts.

They all bled heavily, emptied their race’s treasuries, willing to submit once more, and this wasn’t the limit.

They could negotiate further if the Immortal Sect had the will, as long as their position as the ruling race could be preserved, everything could be conceded.

Jiang Ding quietly listened, attentively to each envoy’s plea.

Lastly, only two envoys hadn’t spoken.

They were a Human Divinity Transformation cultivator named Gu Yan Heavenly Monarch, a black-robed elder.

And a Fox Tribe Divinity Transformation, named Rouxi Heavenly Monarch, a stunningly beautiful woman with an overwhelmingly voluptuous figure.

“Fellow Daoists, what conditions do you have? Feel free to speak.”

Jiang Ding patiently asked.

“In front of the Great Sun Celestial Lord, what conditions could there be?”

“Isn’t that laughable?”

The black-robed Gu Yan Heavenly Monarch let out a bitter laugh: “All we seek is to lay down all resistance, submit to the Celestial Lord, in hope for the Celestial Lord’s mercy and a slim chance of survival.”

“What?”

The envoys from the surrounding Minor Thousand Worlds were stunned.

However, an even more shocking event occurred.

“Fellow Daoist Gu Yan, survival… that is a very difficult issue.”

Jiang Ding said indifferently.

He flatly refused the opponent’s surrender.

Slaying citizens is an unforgivable capital crime.

No matter how sincere the sinners are, it’s to no avail unless displaying power greater or equal to the entire Immortal Sect, leaving the Immortal Sect helpless.

Other than that, there’s no possibility of amnesty.

Gu Yan Heavenly Monarch’s body stiffened.

A cold wind blew, leaving him exceptionally cold and numb inside.

“Celestial Lord!”

“I haven’t finished speaking.”

Gu Yan Heavenly Monarch showed no anger, instead becoming more obsequious, squeezing a smile: “The Immortal Sect citizens did not die, those were merely death row prisoners I summoned, transformed their appearance and used them to deceive the Shadow Demon Abyss cultivators.”

With a wave of his hand, one after another unconscious Immortal Sect citizen appeared in the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, their cultivation ranging from mortals to Golden Pill.

“Oh?”

“Haha!”

Jiang Ding’s Divine Sense swept over them, his heart rejoiced, finally revealing a smile: “Fellow Daoist Gu Yan, had you mentioned it earlier, everything could be negotiated. However, let me assure you, you will not die, rest easy.”

He looked expectantly towards Rouxi Heavenly Monarch.

“With the Celestial Lord above, a humble concubine dare not harm the Immortal Sect citizens.”

Rouxi Heavenly Monarch of the Fox Tribe gave a respectful bow, her ample curves heaving, releasing more than ten thousand Immortal Sect citizens with a wave of her hand.

“Excellent.”

“Punishment will be discussed later, but I assure you, you won’t die either.”

Jiang Ding laughed heartily, extremely satisfied.

Within the domains, it turns out not everyone is a fool.

There are still sufficiently clever individuals; even if they hail from the slave clans, with narrow vision and lack of political experience, they cannot be underestimated.
