Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 121: Sweeping the World (End)_1

A day later, the ruler of the Da Cang Empire announced his surrender! Instantly, the whole nation was in lamentation. Countless Da Cang citizens wept, kneeling without the strength to rise. Some staunch loyalists chose to end their own lives or spontaneously organized to head for the frontier, intending to stop the Qin army from entering the Da Cang Empire.

Of course, their resistance made not the slightest difference; they were killed by the great army led by Zhao Yun.

Two days later, the Qin army entered the imperial city of the Da Cang Empire, took over city defenses, and planted the flag representing the Qin Empire on the highest building.

Thus, another domain came under the jurisdiction of the Qin Empire.

"Congratulations, you made the right choice!"

On the imperial court, symbol of supreme royal power, Zhao Yun was signing an agreement. Suddenly, he lifted his head and declared this with a sharp gaze.

His words were true. With the current strength of the Qin Empire, they could easily conquer the Da Cang Empire. Once war was ignited, countless Da Cang citizens would die.

"You are absolutely right, General!"

The ruler of the Da Cang Empire held a pen in his right hand and the Jade Seal in his left. Hearing Zhao Yun’s words, his body trembled slightly, and a bitter smile touched his lips. He didn’t rebut. Indeed, it was because he knew they were no match for the Qin Empire that he had chosen to surrender.

If there had been any glimmer of hope for victory, he would have fought them at all costs! Even if it cost him everything, he would not have hesitated!

With that, he stamped the Jade Seal forcefully on the surrender agreement. The bright red imperial stamp marked the end of an era.

ROAR!

From the Void above, a dragon’s sorrowful wail descended. The sound brought tears to the eyes and grief to the hearts of all who heard it.

Outside the court, below the ninety-nine steps, the civil and military officials of the Da Cang Empire knelt in a dense crowd, unwilling to rise for a long time.

Among them, some were utterly devastated. The country they had lived in their entire lives was gone, just like that!

Yet others felt a heavy reluctance—not for their country, but for their official positions. Having struggled all their lives, they had finally attained endless wealth and honor, yet in the end, it was all for naught!

「Gun City!」

Nie Zhenhu and Nie Jinglong sat facing each other in the courtyard. Between them lay a map detailing the current situation of the nine major domains, their faces grim.

"The Qin Empire has occupied the Tianhuo Domain, the Purple Lightning Domain, the Forest Realm, and half of the Wuling Domain. Their momentum in unifying the nine major domains is unstoppable!"

"After Zhao Yun conquers the Da Cang Empire, our domain might be the next target!" Nie Zhenhu pointed at the map, his face fraught with worry. He vaguely sensed an impending crisis of annihilation!

"The ruler of the Da Cang Empire surrendered; he made a clever choice!" Nie Jinglong said indifferently, seemingly unworried by the Qin Empire’s invasion.

"Are you trying to persuade me to surrender?" Nie Zhenhu frowned slightly, his expression souring. How could he give up his ancestral heritage? He regarded Gun City as an extension of himself, like his own child, his kin—an inseparable part of his being.

"Big brother, one who adapts to the times is a person of wisdom!" Nie Jinglong said with solemnity. As he spoke, Qin Wudao’s image unconsciously surfaced in his mind; he had a vague feeling that the Qin Empire owed its current power to him. "The future of the Qin Empire is limitless; perhaps your chance to break through to the Saint Realm lies with the Qin Empire!"

"This..." Nie Zhenhu still hesitated, but his resistance had clearly weakened.

Becoming a Saint was his lifelong pursuit! If joining the Qin Empire could help him break through to become a Saint, then it might be worth considering.

Just then, a voice drifted down from the sky above Gun City: "It seems the City Lord is still hesitating!"

This startled Nie Zhenhu and Nie Jinglong, who immediately sprang to their feet. War spears appeared in their hands, their sharp points glinting as if ready to pierce the Azure sky.

The two looked nervously at the Void. Who was this visitor? It should be known that one of them was a Semi-Saint martial artist, and the other was a martial artist at the Peak of the Reaching the Holy Realm who had comprehended spear intent. Among those of similar strength, who could evade their detection? Unless...

Ripples spread through the heavens and earth. A rich aura of the Literary Dao permeated Changkong, inspiring those who felt it and bringing a sense of profound comfort. Streams of golden radiance filled Changkong. Countless exquisite golden lotuses rained down from the heavens, creating a beautiful, picturesque scene.

Amidst these widespread heavenly phenomena, a figure in a scholar’s robe, holding a feather fan, appeared before them, his aura profound and leisurely.

"A Scholar!"

"A Saint Scholar!"

Nie Zhenhu’s and Nie Jinglong’s pupils contracted sharply, their faces filled with astonishment. For a moment, they were at a loss. Was this powerful Saint representing the Changeable Mansion? Or the Qin Empire? Or some other unknown faction?

"Greetings, Senior." Nie Zhenhu quickly put away his spear and bowed respectfully. "May I ask what business brings you here?"

"I am Wang Yangming of the Qin Empire," the figure said, standing in the Void. He gently waved his feather fan, and a light breeze arose, stirring his hair, which swayed with an indescribable elegance and uninhibited spirit. "By His Highness’s command, I have come to act as a persuader, to urge the City Lord to cease resistance, submit peacefully, and avoid unnecessary casualties."

His voice was gentle, like a spring breeze reviving all things. But his words struck Nie Zhenhu’s ears like ice, and his blood seemed to freeze in his veins.

A thought flashed through his mind: The Qin Empire now had three Saints! First Lv Bu, then Zhao Yun, and now Wang Yangming... How many more Saints did the Qin Empire have hidden away?

"I am willing..." Before Nie Zhenhu could speak, Nie Jinglong answered preemptively.

He understood that Qin Wudao had sent a Saint as a persuader primarily because they had sided with the Qin Empire in the ruins, forming a karmic bond between their two factions.

"Excellent!" Wang Yangming nodded. "Serve His Highness well, and becoming a Saint will be just the beginning..." Seeing his goal achieved, his figure flickered and vanished, leaving only his ethereal voice to linger in the air.

Nie Zhenhu’s mouth twitched, and he muttered to himself, "I hope it truly is as you say..."

「In the Wuling Domain, outside the mountain gate of Daofu.」

Lv Bu rode a blood-red steed, leading an army of over a million elite soldiers. His face was cold, radiating a terrifying killing intent that tinged the surrounding sky faintly crimson. The brilliant sun of the Nine Heavens shed its light, yet it brought no warmth, only a chilling cold.

On the mountain gate, countless Daofu disciples stood, their faces pale, their lips trembling.

They had already learned of the defeat on the front lines!

They also knew of the Qin Empire’s terrifying power!

"Attack!" Lv Bu raised his Sky Piercer Halberd and issued the command.

RUMBLE!

A million soldiers charged as one, their warhorses trampling all before them. A savage assault shattered Daofu’s defenses, leaving corpses littering the ground.

An hour later, Daofu was destroyed!

Apart from the Changeable Domain and the Canhua Domain, the Qin Empire now occupied seven of the nine major domains!

"The Canhua Domain was destroyed by the Changeable Mansion. Now, only the Changeable Domain remains—a tough nut to crack!"

In the Imperial Capital, Qin Wudao read the reports, a hint of a smile on his lips.

When he saw the rewards from the system, the smile on his face became even more radiant!
