You Chuhong narrowed her eyes and looked at the smiling Sei Itō as she said in a deep voice, "You think too highly of yourself."
Clearly, Old Madam You didn't believe that Sei Itō had the ability to wipe out an entire clan by himself, especially one that was guarded by her. After all, even if the three grandmasters were present, they wouldn't dare to say that they could do it. That wasn't something that could be done just by having a high enough realm. At the very least, one had to be able to crush them!
"Then how about this?" Sei Itō had a thought and smiled faintly.
Just as he finished speaking, a clear fluctuation of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi immediately surged in the sky above the Dugu Organization. Then, pale white Yuan Qi swords that were completely condensed from Heaven Earth Yuan Qi suddenly appeared in the sky above the Dugu Organization. The tips of the swords pointed downwards at the people in the Dugu Organization's residence, emitting a chilling aura.
Seeing this, the expressions of You Chuhong and the other members of the Dugu Organization all changed. A strange mixture of fear, panic, and shock appeared on their faces, and they couldn't say anything. Only Dugu Feng, after seeing this scene, besides shock, had an expression of excitement and interest, as if she had discovered something good.
"If that's the case, does Old Madam still think that I think too highly of myself?" Sei Itō controlled the Yuan Qi swords that filled the sky to move down slightly towards the people of the Dugu Organization as he continued to look at You Chuhong with a smile.
When You Chuhong saw this, the expression on her face changed unpredictably.
"To be honest. Your Dugu Organization is really of no use to me. Its existence itself is a tumor that I hate! But no matter what. There are still some talents in your clan, and if used well, they can help me rule the world. In addition, I have a good impression of Little Feng 'er, so I gave you a chance to choose. Otherwise, when I came today, I wouldn't have wasted words with you and would have directly wiped out your entire clan. It would definitely be much more convenient than now. "Sei Itō looked at the hesitant You Chuhong and said faintly.
While he was speaking, Ye Zichen's expression changed. The yuan qi longsword in the sky slowly descended a little more.
You Chuhong's body shook when she heard this, and her expression dimmed.
"Alright, I agree with Your Majesty's proposal. I'm willing to pledge allegiance to Da Hua and serve Your Majesty," You Chuhong said in a low voice. Without waiting for the other members of the Dugu Clan to react, he slowly shook off Dugu Feng's arm and knelt down on the ground with one hand supporting Black Iron Pass.
"Grandma! (Mother!) "You Chuhong knelt down. The faces of the Dugu Organization's members changed greatly as they cried out.
"Kneel down!" You Chuhong shouted angrily as she propped herself up with one hand.
In the end, You Chuhong's accumulated might was very deep. Her might had seeped deep into the bones of the clan's disciples. Therefore, after You Chuhong's explosive shout, the hearts of everyone in the Dugu Organization immediately shook. One by one, they slowly knelt on the ground. With this group of people surnamed Dugu taking the lead. The surrounding servants didn't dare to continue standing. They quickly knelt down on the ground as well.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang …" The clear sound of knees hitting the ground immediately reverberated in the area.
"I lead the Dugu Clan to greet Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. "You Chuhong put down her walking stick and propped herself up with both hands. She placed her forehead on the ground and kowtowed.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!" The other members of the Dugu Clan shouted in unison.
"You may rise." Sei Itō displayed the might of an emperor and said indifferently.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." You Chuhong thanked him respectfully. She then dared to stand up with the help of Dugu Feng.
"Leave a group of people to deal with clan affairs. Spread the news that your Dugu Clan has pledged allegiance to Da Hua. Old Madam You, Little Feng 'er, and the selected clan leader and some talented disciples of your Dugu Clan will follow me." Sei Itō instructed indifferently.
"Yes." You Chuhong replied without hesitation. She then turned around and gave instructions to the members of the Dugu Clan behind her.
However, the Dugu Clan was ultimately a large clan. It wasn't something that could be dealt with in a short period of time. Therefore, Sei Itō, who had nothing to do for now, was led around the Dugu Clan by Dugu Feng, who was specially appointed by Old Madam You.
"Your Majesty, let's have a fight." Dugu Feng said to Ito Sei, who was standing beside her, when they arrived at the backyard where there was no one around.
"Oh? Do you know what this request of yours means? "Sei Itō raised his brows and asked with a smile that wasn't a smile.
"I know." Dugu Feng nodded and replied.
"Aren't you afraid that I will be infuriated and exterminate your Dugu Clan?" Sei Itō's expression darkened. His eyes flickered with cold killing intent as he questioned.
"You won't. I can feel it." Dugu Feng completely ignored the change in Sei Itō's expression and looked at Sei Itō with certainty.
"Furthermore, if you really want me, then fight with me. After the fight, I, Dugu Feng, will be yours." Following that, Dugu Feng's face flushed red. However, she looked at Sei Itō with a serious expression as she said this.
"What are you doing? Are you going to sacrifice yourself for your clan? "Sei Itō frowned and asked.
"As the daughter of the Dugu Clan, I have already expected such a day to come. Rather than marrying someone that I might not like, I might as well use this body to win your favor and win a future for the Dugu Clan. It can also be considered as repaying the Dugu Clan for raising me." Dugu Feng said with a gloomy expression.
"In any case, even if I don't do this, based on the fact that you have repeatedly mentioned my situation, Uncle and Elder Brother will send me to the palace and become your woman."
The world of the aristocratic clans was just that cold and heartless. For the sake of the clan's benefits, no matter how talented a woman was in the martial dao, she was only a bargaining chip that could be used at any time. The only difference was that the value of this bargaining chip was slightly higher than that of an ordinary woman.
"This isn't like you, Little Feng 'er." Sei Itō said softly as he gently caressed Dugu Feng's face.
"I just didn't want to think about it in the past. It doesn't mean that I don't understand what is going on here." Dugu Feng, whose face was red again, turned her head slightly to dodge Sei Itō's palm. She rolled her eyes at Sei Itō and said.
"Alright, I will fight with you." Sei Itō withdrew his palm and nodded. "Don't worry.
"Let's make it clear in advance. I don't need you to show mercy. You just need to use all your strength to fight with me. I just want to see how big the gap is between you and me." Seeing that Ito Cheng had agreed to her request, Dugu Feng reminded him seriously.
"Then you might not even be able to take one move. Is that okay?" Sei Itō smiled and said.
"It is okay. I will only be able to catch up if I see the gap between us." Dugu Feng shook her head and said.
"Alright then." Sei Itō nodded and agreed to Dugu Feng's suggestion.
Seeing this … Dugu Feng didn't hesitate and immediately jumped away from Sei Itō's side. She stood about three meters away from him and waved her hand at her waist. With a crisp sound, a slender short sword appeared in Dugu Feng's hand. It let out a clear and melodious sound as her qi aura surged.
She worked hard to circulate her inner qi. Dugu Feng's qi aura was different. Sei Itō's body didn't reveal any qi aura at all. He stood there like an ordinary person, making people feel indescribable. However, it was also impossible to lock onto him with spiritual perception. It was as if Sei Itō wasn't there at all. There was nothing.
If the twin dragons who cultivated the Art of Longevity, the Taoist Grandmaster Ning Daoqi, or Fu Junzhuo who had been by Sei Itō's side for a long time were here, they would know that Sei Itō's current state was the highest level of the Union of Heaven and Man state. Apart from Ning Daoqi, no one else could compare to him.
"Watch out for my sword!" Dugu Feng frowned and shouted. She felt strange in her heart.
As soon as she finished speaking … Dugu Feng's figure immediately flashed in front of Sei Itō. The peak sword in her hand that combined essence, qi, and spirit was like a bright white meteor falling from the sky. It pierced towards Sei Itō's body.
On the other hand, Sei Itō acted as if he didn't see Dugu Feng's sword at all. He still stood there with a smile on his face. He didn't dodge or resist. However, just as Dugu Feng's flexible sword was about to pierce Sei Itō, Sei Itō's left arm used a state that far surpassed Dugu Feng's sense of time and awareness. It was as if he was lifting his hand to pinch something. Dugu Feng was so depressed that she wanted to vomit blood. He used his index and middle fingers to gently flick the body of the flexible sword. A huge force was instantly transmitted from the flexible sword, causing Dugu Feng's hand to go numb. She couldn't help but throw the flexible sword away.
"You have lost." Sei Itō, who had his right index finger on Dugu Feng's forehead, smiled and said.
"The difference between us is so huge …" Dugu Feng was stunned when she heard that. She muttered with a depressed tone.
"What? Are you going to admit defeat just like that? " The finger that was on Dugu Feng's forehead bent halfway and flicked back to Dugu Feng's forehead as he asked with a smile.
"Hmph! I won't admit defeat like this. Although the gap between us is so big that it makes one feel despair, as long as I work hard to catch up, there will be a day when I reach your level and surpass you." Dugu Feng, who recovered from the pain on her forehead, wrinkled her nose and snorted. She pouted and said stubbornly.
"This is the Little Feng 'er that I know." Sei Itō stretched out his hands and hugged Dugu Feng into his embrace.
"Hmph." Dugu Feng, who was suddenly hugged, instinctively wanted to struggle out of Sei Itō's embrace. However, she immediately thought of the promise that she made before the battle. Her face turned slightly red, and she forced herself not to resist.
"Don't worry, I will not force you. When you are ready, you can hand your body over to me." Sei Itō spoke gently into Dugu Feng's ear.
"Thank you." Dugu Feng's body trembled slightly when she heard that. She lowered her head and said softly with red eyes. A trace of tears gradually flowed out from the corner of Dugu Feng's eyes silently. It streaked across her cheeks and dripped onto the ground, leaving a small wet mark.
Sensing Dugu Feng's abnormality, Sei Itō didn't do anything else. He just hugged Dugu Feng and allowed her to silently sort out her emotions.
"Thank you." A moment later, Dugu Feng expressed her gratitude again. She used a little strength in her arms to push Sei Itō away.
Sei Itō didn't say anything. He used his mind to recall the flexible sword that was bounced away and handed it over to Dugu Feng, who was tidying her clothes and appearance. After he put the flexible sword back into his belt, he acted as if nothing had happened and continued to play with Dugu Feng in the backyard of the Dugu Organization's residence. However, compared to the restrained atmosphere earlier, the atmosphere this time was much warmer and more harmonious.
About an hour later, a maidservant came to report that they had finished their tour and returned to the Dugu Organization's conference hall.
In an instant, more than 20 members of the Dugu Family appeared in front of Ito Sei. Their ages ranged from young to middle-aged, and they were of both genders. They were all members of the Dugu Family.
"Your Majesty, these are the talented and virtuous people that my Dugu Organization has picked out." You Chuhong introduced.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." These men and women, old and young, who had already learned of their following arrangements from Old Madam You, greeted Sei Itō in unison. Some had excited eyes, some had calm expressions, and some had apprehensive expressions.
"You may rise." Sei Itō waved his hand. He then looked at You Chuhong and asked, "Are all those who are leaving here?"
"Yes." You Chuhong confirmed.
"Good, then we will rise and return to Chang 'an." Sei Itō nodded. Then, without waiting for You Chuhong, Dugu Feng, and the others to react, he directly released energy to envelop everyone present. He activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and brought them away from the Dugu Organization and the maidservants. In the next moment, they appeared in Chang 'an City, in the General's residence that Sei Itō had first owned.
After all, it wasn't suitable for such a large group of people to be placed in the palace.
"Alright, we have already arrived in Chang 'an. I remember that your Dugu Clan also has a clan in Chang' an, so I won't keep you any longer." Sei Itō said to the stunned You Chuhong and the others.
"Yes." You Chuhong, who didn't understand how they had arrived in Chang 'an in the blink of an eye, replied in a daze.
Sei Itō didn't care about their reactions. He directly activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and returned to the palace. He continued to study the information about the Dual Cultivation Method in his hands. Then, the next day, he asked a little eunuch to go to the Dugu Clan in Chang 'an to read the imperial edict. The new batch of talents that he had brought from the Dugu Clan in Luoyang were sent to various departments in Chang' an City to receive management and guidance from civil and military officials from the Rubik's Cube world.
Then, it was the fourth day after the founding of the country …
The fifth day …
The sixth day …
It was also on this day that the various prepared attack armies officially set out from Chang 'an, Pengcheng, Yizhou, the cities along the Yangtze River, and the Eastern Sea. They advanced toward their respective areas of influence.
In an instant, the undercurrents that had been stirred up by the emergence of the Jade Annulus of He Clan surged, attracting the attention of all the forces inside and outside the Great Wall to the Great China.
At the same time, at the East Gate of Chang 'an City, two women dressed as laymen and nuns, as well as five monks in kasayas, entered Chang' an City from the East Gate without anyone noticing. Finally, they stopped in front of a temple that was quite popular in Chang 'an City. They were led into the temple by a beautiful woman in white who looked like a fairy who had descended into the mortal world …
