The troops that were left behind in outer space exchanged glances. No one knew what the two of them were whispering about.
Yang Qing cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, are we just going to let them go like this?"
Miao Yi understood what Yang Qing meant. Letting someone as influential as Lord White go would be a potential threat. However, he didn't say anything, nor did he reveal any of his thoughts to Yang Qing. He simply watched as the Netherdragon Ship left.
There was a slight commotion on the Netherdragon Ship. Lord White's gaze fell on Wu Zhang and the others below, only to see them surrounding White Lady.
Lord White descended and landed beside them, asking, "What's the matter?"
Wu Zhang replied, "She refuses to go with us."
Lord White looked at White Lady and smiled. "We agreed that I would take you all with me after this. We'll go somewhere nice. Did you change your mind?"
White Lady sighed. "It's the same no matter where we go. What's important is the human heart."
"Mm. Wherever there are people, there will be grudges." Lord White nodded, understanding her current state of mind. However, he still tried to dissuade her. "It's fine if you want to stay. I won't force you. But you can't disembark here." He turned to look at the massive army and said with a hint of melancholy, "The Sovereign Descends have a different mindset from us. He's at a critical juncture right now. Some rules have been broken, but no one can restrain him. Right now, he's in an extremely dangerous state. This is the time for him to sweep across the world with his massive army. He hasn't recovered from the struggle for supremacy yet, so he might make a move against anything that stands in his way. It's a sin for you to have reached the Divine Soul Realm. Now that you're heavily injured, you're no match for them. As soon as you disembark, even if Niu Youde doesn't kill you, his subordinates will force him to kill you! Listen to me. Don't disembark for now. We'll find a suitable place to put you down. Once you've recovered from your injuries, you can go wherever you want with your cultivation! "
White Lady was silent for a moment. After a moment's thought, she nodded in agreement.
Lord White quickly returned to the deck and entered his room to avoid being noticed. He then took out the dark green bead in his hand. The bead glowed, and a figure appeared. It was another Lord White.
The two of them stared at each other as they walked towards each other. In the end, they collided and fused into one.
Looking back at the situation in the room through the window, Gao Guan was speechless. Then he realized that this doppelganger had been with Niu Youde all the time and had been accompanying Niu Youde through everything. No wonder he knew Niu Youde's situation like the back of his hand and constantly coordinated with Niu Youde's side. He thought he had placed a spy around Niu Youde, but it turned out that the spy was himself.
After leaving the room, Lord White stretched out his hand and put away the huge zither.
Gao Guan tilted his head to look at him and asked, "Your doppelganger is on him. Didn't you tell him?"
Lord White smiled but didn't say a word. He turned to look at Miao Yi. There were some things that shouldn't be told to outsiders. He didn't tell Miao Yi before because he wanted to use his doppelganger as a backup plan. Miao Yi's recent developments had already made him aware of the danger. Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed the demonic monk to resurface and activated the extremely dangerous backup plan that he would only use as a last resort. If he really didn't want the demonic monk's soul to come out, he could have used Gao Guan to warn Qing Bo and Fo. Nan Bo wouldn't have been able to escape the sealed grounds back then and would have died for sure.
And if Miao Yi found out about this, and Miao Yi went out of control, there was a possibility that Lord White's escape plan would be cut off. He couldn't take this risk.
He didn't tell Miao Yi now because he knew too many secrets about Miao Yi. Putting aside everything else, if he revealed these secrets to Cao Man, Cao Man would immediately make adjustments to the situation and allow the Xiahou family to escape from Miao Yi's control. Miao Yi had paid such a heavy price and sacrificed so many lives. How could he just sit back and watch the Xiahou family escape from his control and create an awkward situation between Qing Bo and Fo? Using the entire world to bet on a promise that had no basis? What a joke! That was why if Miao Yi found out about this, he would force Miao Yi to stop him and turn against him. At the very least, he would have to restrict Lord White's freedom until the Xiahou family's matter was resolved. How could he let Lord White go so easily?
There were some things that were better left unsaid!
Gao Guan seemed to have understood something. "You're afraid to tell him, aren't you?"
The people in the distance could no longer be seen clearly. Lord White calmly said, "He's actually not a bad person. Otherwise, the spiritual mountain wouldn't have helped him."
Gao Guan said, "So what if he's not a bad person? In the eyes of others, do you think he's done any less bad things? He's killed so many people to get to where he is today. Whether he's aware of it or not, he has so many enemies that he can't even count them all. Would he dare to give up the power in his hands? The moment he gives up the power in his hands, not to mention his enemies, even those who want to replace him want to stabilize their positions. They're afraid that he'll go back on his word. The first thing they'll do is to eliminate him. He has no other choice … "
The battlefield was still being cleaned up. The generals looked around, feeling heroic and emotional at the same time. Once this battle was over, there wouldn't be any more major battles in the near future.
Many people stole glances at the expressionless Miao Yi. They understood that the barriers between the Four Heavenly Kings, Qing Yu, and Buddha had been completely swept away.
Luo Mang stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do with the Duke of Guang?"
Currently, in the entire realm, only the Duke of Guang still had two hundred million troops gathered on his side. He still hadn't made it clear whether he would surrender or not. Luo Mang was a little worried that Miao Yi would make a move on the Duke of Guang. If he really did make a move, his forces wouldn't be able to withstand Miao Yi's sweep. Regardless of whether he had betrayed the Duke of Guang or not, he still wanted to test Miao Yi's attitude and speak up for the Duke of Guang.
Miao Yi coldly glanced at him and said, "Is he still not willing to surrender?"
Luo Mang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. 'How did he decide that he's not willing to surrender? This wasn't the attitude you had when you were asking for someone else's daughter. '
He had already helped the Duke of Guang sense a strong sense of danger. He immediately cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, he will definitely surrender. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stopped us from doing so." He paused for a moment, then added, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have offered up the Heavenly Consort." He was reminding Miao Yi that he had just conferred the title of Heavenly Consort of Tranquility to Guang Mei 'er. It wasn't appropriate for him to make a move on the Duke of Guang now.
Miao Yi had indeed harbored killing intent towards the Duke of Guang Mei 'er. When he heard the mention of Guang Mei' er, he gradually suppressed the killing intent in his heart. It wasn't because of Guang Mei 'er's beauty, but because he had conferred Guang Mei' er the title of Heavenly Consort in order to stabilize the hearts of the Western Army who had surrendered. If he were to kill her now, his subordinates would probably think that he had abandoned her after using her.
Miao Yi calmly said, "I hope so. Let Marshal Luo contact him and persuade him. If I am forced to send an army to persuade him, I'm afraid the Heavenly Consort will be heartbroken."
"Yes!" Luo Mang responded. He felt cold sweat on his back. He suddenly felt a huge pressure just now. He realized that it was inappropriate for him to speak up for the Duke of Guang as an old subordinate of the Duke of Guang. In that instant, he felt even more pressured than when he was facing Lord Qing all those years ago.
After he turned and left, he quickly took out the Star Bell and contacted Gou Yue.
"Your Majesty, Yan Xiao has finished cleaning up the battlefield and is on his way here." Bluemoon came to report.
Miao Yi didn't answer her question and asked, "Where are Yan Xiu's troops at?"
Bluemoon replied, "They have already entered the Astral Caverns and are on their way here."
Miao Yi turned to look at Yang Qing, who immediately cupped his fists and waited for orders.
Miao Yi transmitted his voice, "Inform Yan Xiu not to come over. Let him lead all his troops and head to the various regions immediately. Uproot all the core members of the Xiahou Clan that are scattered all over. Eradicate the Xiahou Clan's influence in one fell swoop! Take another billion troops and coordinate with them. "
"Yes!" Yang Qing accepted the order. He knew in his heart that a great purge of the world was about to begin.
Miao Yi called out again, "Yu Luocha!"
Yu Luocha came out and made a Flower Pinching Finger gesture in front of her chest, then gave a slight bow.
Miao Yi said, "Take your own troops with you. I will allocate another two billion to you as well. Bring them with you to meet up with Yan Xiao. The two of you will be in charge of commanding the four billion troops. Send them out to the various regions and thoroughly wipe out the remnants of the Qing Dynasty and Buddhist Sect! Later on, I will send Xu Tangran as the Adjunct Officer to assist you! "
He was afraid that Yan Xiao and Yu Luocha would be soft-hearted and let some people off the hook. He had to send a ruthless character to keep an eye on them. Sending Xu Tangran to handle this kind of task was the most appropriate. Xu Tangran would definitely carry out his orders with all his might.
"Yes!" Yu Luocha accepted the order. Like Yang Qing, she went to find Bluemoon to ask for more troops.
Everyone sighed in their hearts. Sending over four billion troops to wipe out the Qing Clan and the great purge had begun. Who knew how many people would die?
But then again, from a certain point of view, most of the people present were in favor of doing this. Leaving too many remnants of the Qing Clan was not in everyone's interest …
Gou Yue walked out of the Guangling Public House and walked towards Lady Mei, who was sitting in the pavilion surrounded by the ladies.
When the ladies saw him, they made way for him. Gou Yue cupped his fists and greeted Lady Mei. Lady Mei looked around the room and asked, "How is His Highness?"
Gou Yue shook his head. The Guangling Duke was still hiding in a quiet corner, not saying a word. He conveyed Luo Mang's message, but the Guangling Duke didn't say a word.
Lady Mei couldn't help but sigh. She knew that this matter had dealt a heavy blow to the Guangling Duke.
Some of the concubines glanced in the direction of the room and muttered in their hearts. He was usually so impressive and acted as if he was very capable. Where did his prestige go?
Gou Yue reported, "Lady Mei, the Qing Clan's army has been annihilated by Niu Youde. The Qing Clan and the Buddha Clan have also been killed by Niu Youde. The world has been conquered by Niu Youde. Now, we have to submit to him. If we delay, we might face the calamity of annihilation!"
The Qing Clan and the Buddha Clan have been conquered? The ladies gasped in shock. Someone blurted out, "Doesn't that mean that Niu Youde has conquered the world?"
Gou Yue nodded, "You can say that."
The ladies' eyes flickered. Some of them glanced at Lady Mei. Even though they were mentally prepared, they were still extremely jealous. The daughter of this lowly woman actually became the wife of the most powerful man in the world. She became the first Heavenly Concubine conferred by the most powerful man in the world. How could they explain this?
Lady Mei was also shocked. Back then, everyone said that Niu Youde would have a bright future. Now that he had a bright future, she was still shocked. Her heart was filled with regret. It was a pity that she couldn't make that marriage happen. Otherwise, her daughter would be the most respected woman in the world. She would be the Empress of the world!
She sighed, "We women don't understand these things. Since His Highness has asked you to take care of it, then let the housekeeper make the decision!"
"Yes!" Gou Yue agreed. However, after he straightened his body, he looked at the Guangling Duke's first concubine, Gao Zixuan. He cupped his hands and said, "First Madam, I'm afraid I need you to give something to Niu Youde."
Gao Zixuan asked curiously, "The world belongs to him. What do I have here that he would be interested in?"
