Biluo Realm.

A Celestial Blessed Land.

Auspicious Qi surging, Immortal Qi lingering.

Two Immortal Cranes, each holding an Immortal Herb in their long beaks, flew into a Cave Abode. This Cave Abode was extremely lavish, akin to a palace. It was named "Purple Mist."

Inside the Purple Mist Cave Mansion.

An incomparably beautiful Immortal Fairy sat cross-legged on the ground, her long hair cascading like a waterfall reaching the ground. Her white clothes fluttered without wind. Her beauty was indescribable; any adjective seemed pale in comparison.

She could only be called an 'Immortal Fairy.'

The Immortal Fairy was meditating with eyes closed, her entire being exuding Immortal Qi.

She was cultivating.

The Immortal Cranes flew into the Cave Mansion and silently placed the Immortal Herbs from their beaks on the ground before the Immortal Fairy.

The Immortal Fairy separated her joined hands and pressed downwards. Instantly, a cloud-like mist enveloped the Immortal Herbs.

The Immortal Herbs, covered by this mist, turned a purple mist color as if burning. A rich Immortal Qi rose from the herbs, entering the Immortal Fairy's hands, traveling up her arms into her body, down to the depths of her Dantian.

The Immortal Fairy withdrew her hands, exhaled a long breath, and opened her eyes, in which a flash of brilliance shone.

Suddenly...

The Jade Wall hanging on the Cave Mansion's wall began to hum and vibrate. The square Jade Wall, resembling a liquid crystal television, emitted smoke while vibrating, then lit up like a television, displaying an image.

In the image, two armies clashed furiously, blades flashing, blood and chaos everywhere. The two battling sides bore the banners of the Yellow Dragon Empire and the Yan Kingdom.

The millions-strong Yan Army was no match for the Yellow Dragon Empire's million-man force. Under the powerful assault of the Myriad Circle Spirit Formation, the Yan Kingdom's army was retreating step by step, suffering massive casualties.

The fierce battle took place in the Yan Kingdom's Jingzhou territory.

Seeing her hometown in the Immortal Realm faced with a foreign invasion and about to be conquered by the Yellow Dragon Empire, the Immortal Fairy slightly trembled with a touch of sorrow and anger.

She wiped her hand across the Jade Wall, the image changed to show the Yan Capital City Palace. She touched the image again, focusing it on the Sacrificial Altar.

Around the altar, the assembled ministers and the Yan King were captured. The Yan King had already put down a small flag, holding both hands together with an incense stick raised high above his head, in a Heaven-Lifting Power pose, praying aloud:

"The Yan Kingdom is under foreign invasion; the nation is falling apart. I beseech Supreme Fairy Zixia to descend to this realm and drive away the enemy..."

Seeing this, the Immortal Fairy wiped the image off the Jade Wall, frowning prettily, her face heavy with thought. She hesitated, suffered internally...

After a long moment, she wiped her hand across the Jade Wall again, the shimmering light reappeared, and the Jade Wall lit up with a new image.

It was still the Jingzhou territory, but now, the flags on Jingzhou's city walls had changed from the "Yan" character to the "Dragon" character. This symbolized that Jingzhou had been occupied by the Yellow Dragon Empire's army.

The Immortal Fairy tapped the Jade Wall, the shimmering light flowed,

and Wang Xiaoqiang appeared in the image.

Wang Xiaoqiang, surrounded by two women and a squad of personal guards, walked with a dragon-like stride into the great hall of the Dongbo Marquis Mansion, sitting confidently on the throne in the great hall.

The Immortal Fairy's gaze lingered on Wang Xiaoqiang with a hint of disdain, saying, "The leader of the Yellow Dragon Empire's army is merely at the Immortal King Stage; it's unlikely to destroy the entire Yan Kingdom! That Yan King really makes a mountain out of a molehill!"

Muttering softly, the Immortal Fairy waved her hand to turn off the Jade Wall.

...

Immortal Realm.

Jingzhou.

Dongbo Marquis Mansion.

"Little Qiang, we should leave this place quickly. I always feel that Jingzhou is a trap," Leng Qingqiu said.

The Heavenly Demon replied, "It's clear they lured our troops here with false pretenses, but now that we've captured Jingzhou, it doesn't seem like much of a trap. Besides, our goal is to annex the Yan Kingdom, even if it's a deadly trap, we must break through it..."

Wang Xiaoqiang nodded, "Yes, the midnight hour has passed. It won't be long before dawn. Let's rest here for the night, and tomorrow morning, we shall attack Yan Capital City and head straight for the Yellow Dragon!"

...

Yan Capital City.

Imperial Palace.

Sacrificial Altar.

The Yan King and the ministers looked up at the night sky, their faces marked by emptiness and disappointment.

"The willpower has connected to the Biluo Realm, Supreme Fairy Zixia should have sensed something. Why is there no sign of movement, could it be she refuses to descend to help? Alas, Heaven seeks the demise of our Yan Kingdom!" the Yan King said with grief in his voice.

"Without Supreme Fairy Zixia's intervention, the Yan Kingdom will surely perish. We might as well surrender early to avoid casualties," an anxious minister suggested.

"Die!" the Yan King suddenly turned, both palms striking the minister's chest. Dragon Qi erupted from his palms, sending the minister flying with a bang,

the minister's chest collapsed as he spat out three mouthfuls of blood, his body flew like a kite with a broken string, clearly not long for this world.

"For those advocating surrender, I will exterminate their Nine Clans!" the Yan King roared.

The ministers shuddered collectively at his outburst, none daring to utter another word.

...

The sky brightens.

The morning wind chilled, blowing away the night mist.

The grand outline of Yan Capital City emerged, but this morning was different from any before. Today, Yan Capital City was enveloped in a cloud of gloom and doom, surrounded densely by the Yellow Dragon Empire's army.

Surrounding Yan Capital City, Wang Xiaoqiang sent a general to persuade surrender.

The general flew into the city, hovering above the Imperial Palace, using power to amplify his voice: "Listen, Yan King! Yan Capital City is surrounded by the Yellow Dragon Empire's forces. Surrender early, and your life will be spared. Resist and your Nine Clans will be exterminated."

Upon hearing this, the Yan King and the ministers were filled with despair. Hearing the threat of extermination, they whispered among themselves like ants on a hot pan. Despite knowing that they risked decapitation by suggesting surrender, there was a clamor for it.

The Yan King, seeing the situation was lost, sighed heavily upon hearing that surrendering would spare his life, and said, "Fine, let's surrender!"

The ministers, hearing this, felt a collective relief and knelt, calling out loudly: "Your Majesty is wise, long live the King, long live, long, long live!"

This echoed like a slap in the Yan King's face; he flushed with shame and fury.

Shaking his sleeves, he asked, "Who is willing to meet with Wang Xiaoqiang to negotiate?"

A martial official stood up and said, "I am willing to go."

"Good, tell Wang Xiaoqiang to keep his word and not harm anyone once he enters the city."

"Yes!" The martial official turned and flew out of the hall towards the city wall.

...

In the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the army occupied Yan Capital City. Wang Xiaoqiang kept his promise, entering the city without killing a soldier or harming a civilian.

Now, Wang Xiaoqiang sat on the Dragon Throne in the Imperial Governance Hall.

Leng Qingqiu and the Heavenly Demon stood on either side.

The Yan King and the ministers stood to the sides of the hall. Their expressions were filled with the disgrace and defeat of a conquered nation, all trembling, fearful that Wang Xiaoqiang might break his promise and kill them. (To be continued.
