During the Secret Realm battle, most of those powerful weapons were thrown into the Great Xia Empire, while a small portion was thrown into the Land of Light.

With precautions in place...

During this period, these weapons were dismantled and researched by them, and they have already thoroughly comprehended them.

Now, when striking, any possible enemy counterattack is already entirely under their control.

"Kill!"

No more holding back, no more scruples...

In just three hours, the already struggling defense line of the Baoxue Empire was directly torn to pieces.

The three-way army launched a direct assault, completely annihilating the last army at the Baoxue Empire’s border.

Then they advanced unimpeded.

"Looks like the war might end within seven days!"

Although Xu Lingjun wasn’t on the front lines, he was constantly monitoring the war through communication facilities. When he heard that the Baoxue Empire’s defense line had been torn apart, a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

The Empire’s defense line is the hardest to breach... beyond it lies the interior.

It’s foreseeable that what awaits afterward will be the nobles’ desperate resistance.

To protect their lands, they will undoubtedly do whatever it takes to drive the enemy away...

Unfortunately, in the face of a true military invasion, they are merely trying to stop a chariot with an ant’s strength, only managing to delay things for a bit.

In fact, Xu Lingjun would rather they resist to the end instead of surrendering.

Because then he can mercilessly annihilate them... otherwise, he would have to leave part of his troops to guard them, which would undoubtedly slow down the annihilation of the Baoxue Empire.

"Xu Lingjun!"

Suddenly, Lu Ye spoke up.

Xu Lingjun asked, "What’s up?"

"The King Laine you mentioned, he’s escaped."

"What?"

"He’s fled to a place... wait... it seems to be called the Holy Hall, he escaped to the Holy Hall."

"The Holy Hall?"

Xu Lingjun said in surprise, "I didn’t expect him to flee voluntarily, truly incompetent. In that case, won’t they be going after nothing? Forget it, I’ll go in person, King Laine’s existence is quite important, he must be under our control."

After all, Laine is the king of the Baoxue Empire, having him in hand will be very convenient for mastering those power-holding nobles of the Baoxue Empire and for the transition of power.

He glanced back at the four who were nearly turned into tree people.

Lu Ye said, "Don’t worry, leave these people to me. With me around, they won’t be able to cause any trouble."

"Hmm, thank you for your hard work."

Xu Lingjun nodded and walked out.

But before he took two steps, Arthur, who had already lost an arm, suddenly spoke, "Wait!"

Xu Lingjun turned back and asked, "What, any problems?"

Arthur’s eyes showed some hesitation, then all turned into understanding.

He took a deep breath and said, "If we surrender to you, will you guarantee our wealth and status?"

As soon as he said this,

the other three couldn’t help but show signs of being tempted, though they were embarrassed to speak up.

Xu Lingjun nodded and said, "This place is too vast for us to manage alone, we definitely need the help of quite a few local nobles. If anyone performs well, we don’t mind handing over control of some of the vacuumed powers to them."

"Understood."

Arthur took a deep breath, avoiding the gaze of the other three.

He said, "Be careful while going to the Holy Hall. If the Baofeng City Palace is the power center of our Baoxue Empire, then the Holy Hall is our spiritual bastion, and it is said there is an ultimate guardian inside the Holy Hall!"

Xu Lingjun asked, "What is the ultimate guardian?"

"Don’t know, nobody knows, but it’s the safest place in the entire Baoxue Empire."

"Uther should have been your last Creation Realm master, right?"

Xu Lingjun said, "Even he fell at our hands, how strong can this so-called ultimate guardian truly be? But still, thank you for your words. As long as you survive this battle, rest assured, I’ll ensure your future wealth and status. Can’t promise it will be better than now, but at the very least, you’ll have power and wealth, so be honest. The fall of the Baoxue Empire is already set in stone, unchangeable; there’s no need for you to get buried with a declining empire."

With that, he turned and walked out!
