Wang Xiaoqiang and Ding Chunqiu returned to the Imperial Palace and found where King Hetu was.

King Hetu had heard that Wang Xiaoqiang went to chase and kill Ding Chunqiu, so he had relaxed his guard. His tense nerves had eased, and his Divine Sense was also retracted, so he did not notice the two in time.

Suddenly seeing Ding Chunqiu and Wang Xiaoqiang approaching, he thought he was seeing things. After rubbing his eyes and looking again, it was still these two people.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang, who terrified him, his body involuntarily trembled, and he pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang and commanded Ding Chunqiu, "National Master Ding, kill, kill him!"

Ding Chunqiu sneered, "The one to kill is you."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at him. Suddenly an Immortal Sword, driven by Immortal Qi, shot towards King Hetu.

King Hetu was terrified and immediately raised the Dragon Qi Shield to defend himself,

With a bang, the Dragon Qi Shield was pierced by the Immortal Sword, and with a puff, the sword penetrated an inch into King Hetu's chest.

King Hetu's face turned red, his eyes protruded, full of shock and anger. Pointing at Ding Chunqiu, he spat wrathfully, "You, you traitor."

Ding Chunqiu lowered his head, his face showing some hesitation, seemingly a bit reluctant,

Wang Xiaoqiang saw this, waved his hand, and sent out a Dragon Qi Orb, which with a swoosh, struck the hilt of Ding Chunqiu's sword,

With a puff, the Immortal Sword, under the impact of the Dragon Qi Orb, fully embedded itself, piercing through King Hetu's chest.

King Hetu opened his mouth and spat a mouthful of blood, his eyes widened, pupils gradually dilating.

Wang Xiaoqiang turned his head and smiled at Ding Chunqiu, saying, "A man uses poison without hesitation. How could an Immortal Emperor behave like a woman...?"

With a beckon, the Immortal Sword embedded in King Hetu's chest withdrew, bringing out a spray of blood, and finally returned to Ding Chunqiu, drenched in blood.

"Remember, you killed him." Wang Xiaoqiang turned to Ding Chunqiu and smiled again.

Ding Chunqiu wiped the blood off the Immortal Sword with a swipe and stored the sword back into his Storage Ring, then his eyes wandered, seemingly searching for something.

Finally, his gaze settled on a certain spot in the main hall. With a beckon, a rectangular object wrapped in brocade flew out from the hall and fell into his hand,

He held the rectangular object with both hands towards Wang Xiaoqiang and said, "This is the Jade Seal of the Hetu Kingdom. Please keep it,"

Wang Xiaoqiang grabbed it and asked, "Can this Jade Seal command the three armies?"

Ding Chunqiu shook his head, "Not necessarily."

"Then what use is it." With force, Wang Xiaoqiang crushed the Jade Seal with a bang.

Ding Chunqiu's face turned pale.

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Ding Chunqiu, you are talented. I am one to cherish talent. Follow me, and I will let you govern the Hetu Kingdom. How about it?"

Ding Chunqiu pondered for a moment, then slightly bowed and respectfully said, "Ding Chunqiu is willing to follow the Lord, serving forever!"

"Ding Chunqiu really can't let go of the worldly fame and power. Otherwise, he would not have condescended to be a State Preceptor. Well, since he's willing to submit, I don't mind. To have an Immortal Emperor as a subordinate, that's really prestigious if word gets out," Wang Xiaoqiang thought to himself, smiling at Ding Chunqiu, "Good, very good!"

"My Lord, the Grand Marshal of Soldiers and Horses of Hetu Kingdom is an old acquaintance of mine. I think I can persuade him to surrender," Ding Chunqiu said.

"Great, let's go and take the troops now, then march on Black Tortoise Kingdom and seize its power. Haha..."

Wang Xiaoqiang laughed.

...

As Wang Xiaoqiang and Ding Chunqiu headed towards the Hetu National Barracks, a message had already reached the Hetu Kingdom — the Martial Emperor and Sima Jiang were assassinated by Wang Xiaoqiang, both dead!

This news was too terrifying. Upon hearing it, the Hetu National Barracks was in complete chaos, panic enveloping every soldier.

The Grand Marshal Hu Yuan was in panic upon hearing the deaths of the Martial Emperor and Sima Jiang. Suddenly seeing Ding Chunqiu bringing a young man of the Immortal Emperor Realm, he felt slightly at ease, and therefore approached to pay respects.

"Kneel before the Lord," Ding Chunqiu shouted commandingly.

Hu Yuan's body trembled, pointing at Wang Xiaoqiang, confused and unsure, "This, he, he is the, the Lord..."

Ding Chunqiu said, "He is Wang Xiaoqiang, inheritor of the True Dragon of the Flame, the future Tianjiao of the Immortal Realm!"

Upon hearing that the young man before them was Wang Xiaoqiang, all the soldiers were terrified, and Hu Yuan directly knelt down in fright.

Ding Chunqiu timely informed them of the death of King Hetu.

Hu Yuan, being sensible, upon learning of King Hetu's death and seeing Ding Chunqiu submit to Wang Xiaoqiang, knelt and pledged, "We are willing to submit, swear to serve loyally unto death."

Seeing the Grand Marshal submit and kneel, the soldiers also knelt in turn.

The national power of the Hetu Kingdom was weak, naturally, its military force was also weak, with only over a million soldiers in total, and just over two hundred thousand elite troops.

Though weak, it's better than nothing. At the very least, it bolsters our momentum.

Seeing Hu Yuan submit, Wang Xiaoqiang ordered him to gather all the forces and join them in capturing power in the Black Tortoise Empire.

After the deaths of the Martial Emperor and Sima Jiang, the Black Tortoise Kingdom had fallen into panic and chaos, with several princes fighting for power in the Imperial Palace.

The army entered the Black Tortoise Empire in great numbers and eventually surrounded Tianxuan City. Inside, chaos reigned, and the gate guards stood no chance against the sudden army, especially with Ding Chunqiu, an Immortal Emperor Level individual.

Boom!!!

Ding Chunqiu waved his hand, and the immense city tower collapsed with a boom.

It wouldn't be inaccurate to say it was a wave of destruction!

Upon entering Tianxuan City, the army encircled the Imperial Palace tightly.

"My Lord, how do we proceed, make them surrender or directly kill?" Ding Chunqiu asked.

With a thought, Wang Xiaoqiang released Yany Tingxiang from his Sumeru Ring. Yany Tingxiang exhaled a deep breath, asking in confusion, "Husband, where are we?"

"We are surrounding the Imperial Palace of Black Tortoise Kingdom. The princes inside, how do you want to handle them?"

"Tingxiang obeys the husband!" Yany Tingxiang said obediently.

"Good. The Martial Emperor killed your family, so let's have him pay in blood." Wang Xiaoqiang ordered, "Kill all the male descendants of the Imperial Clan and keep all the females as slaves."

"Yes!" Ding Chunqiu responded, then led the army into the Imperial Palace to commence the slaughter.

Screams and wails filled the Imperial Palace as cries of agony echoed one after another,

Inside the palace, more than a dozen experts at the Immortal Emperor Stage were lurking. Seeing Ding Chunqiu slaughtering everywhere, these experts jointly besieged Ding Chunqiu,

Facing the combined attacks of over a dozen Immortal Emperors, Ding Chunqiu was momentarily overwhelmed, gradually revealing signs of defeat.

Suddenly, an Immortal Emperor expert unleashed a stinger-like magic treasure from behind, which flashed with ghostly light and silently struck towards Ding Chunqiu's back.

Puff!

The stinger-shaped magic treasure pierced through Ding Chunqiu's Immortal Qi Barrier, embedding in his waist.

With a muffled grunt from the pain, Ding Chunqiu staggered, about to fall. He abruptly turned around, glaring at the assailant.

Seeing a man with a blackened face, his eyes as cold as a snake's. He sneered sinisterly, "Heh, Ding Chunqiu, old monster, didn't think you'd be wounded by my Black Snake Stinger, did you?"

Ding Chunqiu was furious. His right hand gathered Immortal Qi, and he slapped his own abdomen, trying to force the Black Snake Stinger out of his body.

But unexpectedly, not only did this palm fail to expel the Black Snake Stinger, but the stinger continued to burrow into his body, relentlessly absorbing his Essence Blood.

"Ah, damn!" Ding Chunqiu exclaimed in frustrated panic. He had only heard of the formidable power of the Black Snake Stinger before, not realizing it was so terrifying.

"Haha, when the Black Snake Stinger burrows into your body, it can rot your internal organs and suck all your Essence Blood until you shrivel to a dried corpse. Haha, are you, an Immortal Emperor, feeling aggrieved to die under this magic treasure... If you don't want to die, you can kneel and beg me..."

Supporting himself with his sword, Ding Chunqiu stood strong, his face full of rage and hatred boiling over.

"Die!" The black-faced snake-eyed man conjured two True Dragons, ready to smash Ding Chunqiu... when suddenly.

Puff!!

The terrifying sound resounded, as the black-faced man froze just as he was about to strike. An Immortal Sword burst through his chest, bringing out a spray of blood. At the same time, the sound of an infant's cry emanated from the sword, exceptionally eerie and terrifying. (To be continued.
