I, the Villain, Become Invincible the More Descendants I Have

Chapter 126 The City is Breached and its Residents’ Homes are Confiscated; The City Lord Kneels and LiesAs twilight descended, the one hundred thousand soldiers of the Great Xuan Xuan Armor Army finally arrived at the foot of Qingyun City.

Viewed from afar, this city, which claimed to be the number one city in the Southern Region, was not even one-third the size of Luoyang in the Mortal Realm. The city walls were mottled and crumbling, still bearing the claw marks of demonic beasts. The city gate hung askew, and a few garrison soldiers huddled in a corner warming themselves by a fire, their posture while standing guard lazy and listless.

”Holy crap! This is the number one city in the Southern Region?” General Black Tiger widened his eyes, his broadsword nearly dropping to the ground. ”It’s not even as big as a county town in our Mortal Realm! Is the Qingyun Dynasty dirt poor? How are they shameless enough to call themselves a dynasty with this?”

The soldiers beside him also chimed in with complaints: ”Exactly! I could punch a hole through this wall! It’s not even as sturdy as the village protection walls in our Mortal Realm!”

”Look at that city gate, it’s about to fall off! I could kick it open with one foot!”

”And here I thought the cities in the Immortal Realm would be so luxurious; turns out they’re just like this!”

Prince Cao Feng clung to Emperor Cao Xukun’s shoulder and pouted: ”Father, this crappy place is so ugly! It’s not even as pretty as our family’s back garden! Can we please not live here?”

”Just make do for a few days.” Emperor Cao Xukun patted her head, his gaze sweeping across the city. ”Once we conquer the entire Southern Region, I will build you a Phoenix Palace even larger than the imperial palace.”

Just then, the city gate suddenly opened with a creak.

A man dressed in a green brocade robe, with a fat head and big ears, strutted out waving a folding fan, accompanied by a few hundred ragtag soldiers.

His face was piled with rolls of fat, his eyes were squinted into slits, and he swayed as he walked, his pretentiousness dialed up to an oily level.

”I am the City Lord of Qingyun City in the Qingyun Dynasty, the Son of Destiny of the Immortal Realm’s Fat Dragon, Qingyun Wanguan!”

The man slapped his stomach hard, making his fat jiggle. ”Listen up, you bugs from the Mortal Realm! The Southern Region is the territory of my Qingyun Dynasty. You country bumpkins dare to trespass with one hundred thousand troops! If you know what’s good for you, hand over all your valuables and leave behind half of your women, and I might still let you pitch tents outside the city to stay for a few days! Otherwise, I’ll order my archers to fire and turn you all into hedgehogs!”

The soldiers behind him joined in the jeering: ”City Lord is right! Get lost, you trash from the Mortal Realm!”

”Leave the women and treasure behind! Otherwise, you’re dead!”

”Our City Lord is a Son of Destiny! He can kill a demonic beast with one punch! You can’t afford to mess with us!”

The one hundred thousand Great Xuan elites burst into laughter: ”Hahaha! Is this fatty here to be a comedian? ’Son of Destiny of the Fat Dragon’? I think he’s the ’Son of Destiny of the Fat Pig’!”

”With his demeanor, he’d be lucky if he could kill a pig with one punch!”

”And he wants to rob our women and treasure? I think his brain is waterlogged!”

General Black Tiger laughed so hard he couldn’t straighten his back, pointing at Qingyun Wanguan: ”I say, fatty, your life as a City Lord is way too pathetic, isn’t it? You only have a few hundred ragtag soldiers? That’s not even as many as one of our squads! I advise you to open the gates and surrender immediately, otherwise I’ll split you in two with one slash of my blade, and you’ll make a perfect roast pig!”

”Presumptuous! How dare you insult this City Lord!” Qingyun Wanguan was furious, pointing at General Black Tiger and roaring, ”Do you know who I am? I am the nephew of the Qingyun Dynasty’s Emperor! A Son of Destiny! My family owns mountains of gold and silver! I have one hundred thousand troops under my command! And three Golden Immortal experts as retainers! If you dare to touch a single hair on my head, my uncle will immediately send a million troops to trample you into dust!”

He lifted his chin triumphantly: ”Let me tell you, in this Southern Region, I am the sky! If I say you die, you absolutely won’t live! If you know what’s good for you, behave yourselves, otherwise don’t blame me for being impolite!”

Emperor Cao Xukun hadn’t said a word, just holding Cao Xuanhuang and quietly watching Qingyun Wanguan perform. Only after he finished bragging did he speak indifferently: ”I will give you one hundred high-grade spirit stones; I am buying this city.”

”What?!” Qingyun Wanguan acted as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, pointing at Emperor Cao Xukun’s nose and laughing wildly. ”One hundred high-grade spirit stones? Are you trying to send off a beggar? This city is worth at least one billion top-grade spirit stones! You poor ghost from the Mortal Realm, let alone one billion, you probably can’t even produce a single top-grade spirit stone!”

”You want to buy my city? You’re dreaming!” Qingyun Wanguan spat. ”How about this, you kowtow to me three times, and leave behind those women beside you, and I’ll sell you the dog kennel at the city gate so you have a place to stay! How about that? Generous of me, right?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding laughter instantly ceased. The eyes of the one hundred thousand elites turned cold, looking at Qingyun Wanguan with murderous intent. General Black Tiger gripped his broadsword tight; the moment Emperor Cao Xukun gave the order, he would immediately rush up and mince this dead fatty into meat paste.

Emperor Cao Xukun’s eyes also turned cold: ”I originally intended to buy it and leave you a way to survive. Since you don’t want that, I can only take it by force.”

”Take it by force? You dare to seize my city?” Qingyun Wanguan acted as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. ”Men! Capture all these bugs from the Mortal Realm! Mince the men into meat paste to feed the dogs, and take the women back as maids!”

Following his command, thousands of soldiers rushed out from the city gate, each holding rusted weapons, shouting chaotic slogans as they charged towards the Great Xuan army.

”Just this many people? It’s not even enough to get stuck in my teeth!” General Black Tiger sneered, waving his hand, ”Attack! Finish the battle in three minutes!”

”As you command!”

One thousand Xuan Armor Army elites charged out like tigers into a flock of sheep. Those Qingyun City soldiers were simply unable to withstand a single blow; they collapsed at the first contact, running back while crying for their parents. In less than two minutes, the thousands of soldiers were all beaten to the ground, lying there wailing endlessly.

”Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!” Qingyun Wanguan widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief. ”How could my soldiers be so weak? You must have used black magic!”

”Black magic?” Emperor Cao Xukun scoffed, walking slowly to him. ”These useless trash who can’t even get enough to eat, they deserve to be called soldiers? I think they’re not even as good as bandits in the Mortal Realm.”

”Don’t come over here! I still have Golden Immortal retainers!” Qingyun Wanguan retreated in fear, screaming at the top of his lungs, ”Two Golden Immortal masters! Come out and save me!”

Following his shouts, two figures flew out from the city gate. Two old men dressed in green Taoist robes, holding horsetail whisks, looked at Emperor Cao Xukun with arrogant expressions: ”Bold Mortal Realm cultivator, how dare you run wild in Qingyun City! If you know what’s good for you, surrender immediately, otherwise we two will surely destroy your soul!”

”Two early-stage Golden Immortals, daring to come out and act tough.” Emperor Cao Xukun shook his head, not even lifting a finger. He just glanced at the two of them indifferently, and a terrifying aura instantly erupted.

”Thump!” Both Golden Immortal old men knelt on the ground simultaneously, trembling all over, not daring to even lift their heads. They felt fear from the depths of their souls; the seemingly young man before them had strength more terrifying than any expert they had ever seen!

”Golden Immortal masters! Why did you kneel? Get up and kill him!” Qingyun Wanguan stomped his feet in anxiety.

”Shut up!” One of the old men turned back and roared, ”You idiot! You had to provoke anyone, but you provoked this master! The two of us combined aren’t enough for him to pinch with one finger! Hurry up and kowtow to apologize to the master!”

”What?!” Qingyun Wanguan was completely stunned, the fat on his face twitching uncontrollably. ”You are Golden Immortals! How could you not defeat a brat from the Mortal Realm!”

”So what if you are Golden Immortals?” Emperor Cao Xukun walked slowly to him, his tone cold. ”In my eyes, Golden Immortals are no different from ants.”

He extended a finger and tapped lightly. The Fat Dragon bloodline inside Qingyun Wanguan’s body instantly shattered, and his entire cultivation at the peak of the Tribulation Transcendence stage vanished into nothingness. His massive body instantly collapsed onto the ground, unable to move like a puddle of mud.

”Ahhh! My cultivation! My bloodline!” Qingyun Wanguan let out a shrill scream. ”I was wrong! Master, I was wrong! Please spare me! I give this city to you! I give all my treasures to you! Please don’t kill me!”

”Know you were wrong now? It’s too late.” Emperor Cao Xukun said indifferently. ”General Black Tiger, take men into the city, take over all the treasuries and city gates. Anyone who dares to resist, kill them without mercy.”

”As you command!”

General Black Tiger immediately led the army into Qingyun City. The remaining garrison had long since been scared out of their wits, throwing down their weapons and surrendering one after another. In less than an hour, the entire Qingyun City had completely fallen into the hands of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Emperor Cao Xukun, holding Cao Xuanhuang and holding the hands of his four empresses, walked slowly into Qingyun City. The commoners in the city had long been hiding in their homes, peeking out from door cracks. When they saw Qingyun Wanguan, who usually threw his weight around, being dragged away like a dead dog, they couldn’t help but cheer.

”Great! This dead fatty has finally fallen!”

”These newcomers look so powerful! From now on, we won’t have to be bullied anymore!”

”I hope they can be good officials!”

Emperor Cao Xukun and his party arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion. Although it was called the City Lord’s Mansion, it wasn’t even as luxurious as a county magistrate’s residence in the Mortal Realm; the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the rooms were covered in dust.

”Your Majesty, this place is too dilapidated.” Empress Bing Yao frowned. ”Let’s just rebuild it.”

”No need, just make do for a few days.” Emperor Cao Xukun smiled. ”Once we conquer the entire Southern Region, there will be plenty of good places to live.”

Just then, a soldier ran in and bowed in salute: ”Reporting to Your Majesty, we have found all of Qingyun Wanguan’s treasures in the treasury, as well as some ancient books. Additionally, according to the captives, there is an ancient relic beneath the Mass Grave in the west of the city, which is said to contain many treasures.”

Emperor Cao Xukun’s eyes lit up. An ancient relic? It just so happens that he is missing a complete map of the Immortal Realm and history books.

”Interesting.” A smile curled on the corner of Emperor Cao Xukun’s mouth. ”Tomorrow, I will go take a look myself.”

A new opportunity was about to be intercepted by him. Meanwhile, the Emperor of the Qingyun Dynasty, upon learning the news of the fall of Qingyun City, was already furious and was mobilizing his army, preparing to come and suppress them.

But they did not know that this was not the end of the Great Xuan Dynasty, but rather the beginning of the destruction of their Qingyun Dynasty.
