For someone like Chi Bianyue with such a cultivation base, if not restricted by age, she could have been selected by the Biluo Realm like Fairy Zixia and ascended to the Upper Realm. This has always been a source of regret for Chi Bianyue.
Since it was impossible to ascend to the Biluo Realm, Chi Bianyue naturally hoped to leave a good reputation in the Immortal Realm. A person of Chi Bianyue's profound cultivation, besides pursuing the ultimate in the Immortal Dao, valued the cultivation of character heavily; losing trust would lead to ridicule by all, and generally, she wouldn't lie.
Wang Xiaoqiang, seeing that Chi Bianyue spoke and acted reliably, said, "In that case, I thank Elder Chi very much..."
Chi Bianyue nodded, cupped her fist, and said, "Farewell."
Wang Xiaoqiang reached out and said, "Elder, take care. I have an unworthy request."
Chi Bianyue, who was about to leave, paused and said, "Speak..."
Wang Xiaoqiang pointed to the Qin soldiers and said, "If the elder does not wish for these Qin soldiers to make unnecessary sacrifices, please persuade them to surrender to me."
Upon hearing this, Chi Bianyue's gaze flickered. Turning towards the millions of soldiers of Qin, she thought if these soldiers refused to surrender to Wang Xiaoqiang, facing his immensely powerful Myriad Circle Spirit Formation, they would all be sacrificed. Chi Bianyue could not ignore so many living beings, so she nodded to Wang Xiaoqiang and said, "I'll give it a try."
Chi Bianyue then turned to face the Qin soldiers and, with voice magnified by her power, said, "Since ancient times, the victor becomes the king, and the defeated becomes the bandit. Qin Wang cannot even protect himself and is not worth regretting. Wang Xiaoqiang has condensed the True Dragon of the Flame and is the Son of Heaven. I, Chi, advise all of you to follow the will of Heaven and do not resist him. If you surrender, your future will be limitless."
In fact, both Wang Xiaoqiang and Chi Bianyue overestimated the loyalty of the Qin soldiers. Once King Qin died, they were thrown into chaos, losing their backbone. If not for Chi Bianyue's presence, they would have scattered like birds and beasts. Now seeing Chi Bianyue not only making peace with Wang Xiaoqiang but also persuading them to surrender, they naturally took the easy way out. They did not want to die nor flee. With such a powerful sovereign as Wang Xiaoqiang, they were willing to submit.
"We are willing to surrender!" The Grand Marshal of Soldiers and Horses, Qin Yugang, immediately knelt to the ground and deeply bowed to Wang Xiaoqiang.
"We are willing to submit!" As the Grand Marshal knelt, his subordinates also knelt in unison, expressing their willingness to surrender.
Chi Bianyue was taken aback by this, not expecting these soldiers to lack backbone. However, it saved her a lot of trouble, so she cupped her hands to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Farewell."
"Thank you, I hope we meet again." Wang Xiaoqiang cupped his hands.
Watching Chi Bianyue's figure fly away, Wang Xiaoqiang then turned to the Qin soldiers and said, "Alright, since you are willing to submit to me, I will take you in as my soldiers. Rest assured, I will not mistreat you because you were Qin soldiers. I treat all my soldiers equally, without favoring one over the other. However, if any of you dare betray me, the consequences will be dire."
"We do not dare!" The Qin soldiers said in unison.
"Rest assured, Lord, my soldiers will not betray." The Grand Marshal of Soldiers and Horses, Qin Yugang, deeply bowed to Wang Xiaoqiang and said seemingly sincerely.
With a playful smile, Wang Xiaoqiang approached Qin Yugang and asked, "What is your name and your position in the military?"
"I am Qin Yugang, the Grand Marshal of Soldiers and Horses. The soldiers of Qin have always been under my command!" Qin Yugang said with some pride and self-satisfaction.
"You just said you and your soldiers would not betray, right?" With a playful smile and a flash of killing intent in his eyes, Wang Xiaoqiang asked, "Then why did you betray Qin?"
Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's eyes filled with killing intent, Qin Yugang trembled, quickly lowered his head, and said in panic, "I misspoke. What I meant is that after following you, Lord, I will not betray..."
Wang Xiaoqiang drew the Penglai Immortal Sword, swiftly decapitating Qin Yugang with a swipe, blood spurting everywhere.
The Qin soldiers shivered in unison, trembling like chaff in fear.
Qin Yugang was the first to kneel, proving he had no backbone or integrity. Able to betray King Qin, he could naturally betray Wang Xiaoqiang. Moreover, Qin Yugang was the Grand Marshal of Soldiers and Horses for Qin, holding too much authority in the hearts of the Qin soldiers, who followed his lead. How could they see Wang Xiaoqiang as their leader? Therefore, Qin Yugang had to be eliminated, and doing so not only had no downside but served as a warning to others, deterring the Qin soldiers from betraying him.
Seeing that this move indeed had a significant deterrent effect, Wang Xiaoqiang said to the Qin soldiers, "Qin Yugang was deceitful and not worth regretting, but you have nothing to fear. As long as you do not betray me, I will not kill on a whim."
Hearing this, the Qin soldiers quietly breathed a sigh of relief, cold sweat breaking out on their backs, with the weaker ones almost fainting.
"Alright, to show your loyalty, you will now turn your weapons back on the Qin Capital, help me regain control of Qin's regime, and those with outstanding performance will be promoted to Grand Marshal of Soldiers and Horses."
Wang Xiaoqiang's words were very encouraging, and all the Qin soldiers readily agreed.
They then turned their direction and headed towards the Qin Capital—Qin King's City.
Wang Xiaoqiang led his vast army behind, advancing mightily to Qin King's City.
Wang Xiaoqiang won the allegiance of the Qin soldiers and turned them against Qin without deploying a single soldier, making this victory extremely smooth and complete.
With no military strength left, Qin was empty, and the forces of the feudal kings were too weak to resist. Naturally, when Wang Xiaoqiang's army entered the country, they watched from the sidelines, not deploying any troops to resist.
The Qin Dynasty, with its millennium-old heritage, had never changed its family name. The Qin descendants, to preserve the imperial throne, naturally refused to easily yield. They fortified the Qin King's City in the Capital, setting up the City Protection Formation and using the palace guards and the Forbidden Guards within the imperial palace to resist Wang Xiaoqiang desperately.
The Qin soldiers, facing fellow Qin soldiers, were naturally hesitant and couldn't strike hard. Moreover, with the strength of the surrendered Qin soldiers, they could not break the formation. Wang Xiaoqiang immediately decided to deploy ten Myriad Circle Spirit Formations to break the formation.
The ten Myriad Circle Spirit Formations summoned ten Immortal Emperor Warriors. The ten emperors joined forces, each wielding spell techniques, and with one strike, they broke the City Protection Formation. In an instant, the Qin Capital was breached, Wang Xiaoqiang's army flooded in like a tide, slaughtering the defending soldiers until none remained, finally surrounding the Qin King's Palace completely.
The Qin descendants, namely the princes and imperial grandsons, used the imperial palace as their stronghold to resist further.
Among them, Princess Mingzhu's battalion of female soldiers resisted with exceptional intensity.
This Princess Mingzhu, around twenty years of age, had a full figure, jade-like and brilliant like a shining pearl. Her cultivation was at the Second Elephant Realm of the Immortal King level, not weak in strength, leading a group of several hundred female soldiers, each with a war chariot, forming a chariot formation. This female chariot formation could attack and defend, dodging the encirclement and killing by the Myriad Circle Spirit Formation, showing overwhelming strength by slaughtering many of Wang Xiaoqiang's soldiers in a fierce battle.
Wang Xiaoqiang ground his teeth in hatred, intending to personally confront this female army formation.
At that moment, a newly surrendered Qin General flew forward to report to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Lord, be careful. This formation is called the Phoenix Chariot Formation. The phoenix head is the strongest, do not meet its spearhead directly..."
