”Who? Who is it?”

Upon hearing the King’s words, Qin Tian furrowed his brow. Seeing that he didn’t seem to be lying, Qin Tian became even more anxious. He stared at the King, just about to ask more questions, but saw that the King was already smiling faintly, closing his eyes slightly.

At the point of death, the King used his last breath to mock Qin Tian: ”Qin Tian, you will die miserably, by his... hand...”

Qin Tian stared at him, speechless.

This old man, what secrets does he hide in his heart?

Within the Imperial City, what kind of person is hidden?

A person whom even the War God is willing to serve; it’s not the Ice Emperor... then who else?

In Qin Tian’s mind, he quickly reviewed the formidable figures in the Imperial City. Thinking it over and over, the identity and reputation that could be compared with the War God, besides the Ice Emperor, there was only one more person—

The State Preceptor!

Qin Tian’s brow gradually relaxed, and he muttered to himself: ”This State Preceptor, hiding beside the Ice Emperor, could he actually have such formidable strength?”

”Forget it, I’ll just pay attention to this person in the future.”

Unable to figure it out, Qin Tian shook his head, snapped back to reality, and smiled fully as he stared at the King’s corpse.

A red glow slowly emanated from the Red Sword, enveloping the King’s body. Qin Tian gradually maneuvered the Red Sword, and between the sword and the King, a bright red light flashed, slowly energizing and beginning to operate...

”Hehe, the King’s strength is a great tonic...”

Qin Tian silently chanted the mnemonic. As the Red Sword absorbed the King’s primordial energy, he also gradually circulated the purified energy from within the sword’s body into his Dan Tian Qi Sea, refining and absorbing it...

”Huff, huff, huff!”

Half an hour later, the absorbing was still not complete, but Qin Tian’s Dan Tian Qi Sea was already struggling, and he began to gasp heavily...

”Such abundant primordial energy strength, hmm hmm, within a month, advancing to the Middle Stage of the Great Immortal Realm will be effortless.”

When the Red Sword finished absorbing, Qin Tian looked down at the King’s body and said: ”Old man, thank you. But, I still need to borrow you for a bit; such a great merit needs verification. You should return to the Imperial City, for that is your final resting place...”

After speaking, Qin Tian directly placed the lifeless King’s body into a brand-new Storage Bag and strode towards the West Capital City.

On the way, he even took the leisure to stop and retrieve the Storage Bag from the King’s body, inside which were thirty million High Grade Spirit Stones, a Golden Saber, five-grade High Stage elixirs, and six-grade Initial Stage elixirs, innumerable—

Qin Tian made a huge profit in this battle!

…

When Qin Tian returned to West Capital City, the battle situation was already completely under the control of Xu Kuan and Zhao Lanjin.

At this time, the army was aggressive, with flames of war all around. The remaining troops of the King were completely unable to resist, most surrendered and a few fled. By the second day, the battle was over.

Ultimately, Qin Tian sacrificed forty thousand soldiers but captured West Capital City.

However, the senior generals of the King’s faction were almost all killed. Out of more than two hundred thousand people, except for Li Fang’s fifty thousand men who surrendered early, in battle, more than seventy thousand surrendered; the remaining ten thousand, several thousand escaped, and the rest were completely annihilated.

As expected, a spectacular victory.

A single battle stabilized the universe, Qin Tian’s troops now instantly expanded to over eight hundred thousand, fierce and well-trained!

”Boss, did that old King guy die?”

”Boss, how about it? We’ve captured West Capital City, and the rest of West State is surrendering. Now, it just depends on whether the King has escaped.”

When Qin Tian arrived at the City Lord Mansion in West Capital City, Lin Yu and Zhou Yang asked anxiously.

Qin Tian smiled without speaking, took out the Storage Bag, and revealed the King’s body.

”Hiss!”

Everyone was initially stunned at the sight, then rejoiced.

”Wow!”

”Hahaha... Perfect! This battle was too perfect!”

”A great achievement, not easy at all.”

Seeing the King’s body, everyone was jubilant, and each face showed satisfaction.

After being in West State for so long, today, they finally eradicated the King’s faction completely, a significant achievement!

Qin Tian put the King’s body away and said: ”This is the final outcome of our blood-soaked battles in West State. I will have the Supervisor report to His Majesty to evaluate and reward our merits.”

Qin Tian looked at his trusted generals and said: ”Everyone rest assured, this time, if His Majesty doesn’t give us satisfactory rewards, I will go to demand them for you!”

After speaking, Qin Tian assigned Xu Kuan to handle the post-war arrangements for West Capital City, then dispatched Lin Yu and Xiao Zhuang to bring Fan Bing, Du Qiuniang, and others from Yueya City to West Capital City.

Of course, Qin Tian also sent people to inform Gongsun Sanniang to come to West Capital City as well.

West Capital City is even more prosperous than East Capital. From the first glance Qin Tian took, he was already prepared to use it as his base in the future. Having captured it without much effort, he naturally needed to start making arrangements swiftly.

Three days later, the forces from Yueya City arrived. Qin Tian and Fan Bing had a good gathering. That afternoon, they visited Gongsun Sanniang’s temporary residence to pay a visit to Gongsun Sanniang.

At the celebration banquet the previous day, Gongsun Sanniang conducted herself with poise and composure, addressing him as ”General Qin Tian” with elegance, living up to her status as the third-ranked figure in the Gongsun family.

And today, when Qin Tian arrived at Gongsun Sanniang’s residence, she quickly and obediently walked over, taking off Qin Tian’s coat like a maid, leading him into her room.

The room was vibrant with springtime.

Gongsun Sanniang poured Qin Tian a drink, delightedly saying: ”Congratulations, Master, just as Sanniang predicted, you quickly defeated the King.”

Qin Tian nodded. Indeed, during this period, there was always pressure from the Imperial City. The Ninth Prince and the Crown Prince, upon seeing that Qin Tian was gaining leverage over the King, frantically submitted memorials requesting to lead troops against the King—

They wanted to seize Qin Tian’s final glory.

However, in the end, because Gongsun Sanniang sent three secret memorials in succession, explaining the situation in West State, and also informing the Ice Emperor that now was the best opportunity to defeat the King; if they took down Qin Tian at this moment, it would plunge West State into chaos, giving the King another breathing space.

The King was the Ice Emperor’s deep-seated worry, so finally, the Ice Emperor adopted Gongsun Sanniang’s suggestion, openly issuing an edict to support Qin Tian and stabilize the army’s morale.

It was under such circumstances that Qin Tian was able to eliminate the King without any worries.

In this, Gongsun Sanniang played a crucial role in stabilizing the rear; thus, her loyalty, Qin Tian was well aware of in his heart.

”Did your memorial reporting the battle situation reach the Imperial City? My memorial is already on its way.” Qin Tian took a sip of the drink and asked.

Gongsun Sanniang stood behind Qin Tian, amidst a fragrant breeze, extending her delicate hands to gently massage Qin Tian’s shoulders, whispering: ”It’s one day ahead of Master’s memorial; by now it should have arrived at the Imperial City.”
