Chapter 628 – Mo Yixie! (1/2)

Merging with the other 2 Sword Intents wasn’t as difficult as Yang Ye had imagined because both of them were very cooperative and didn’t resist at all. However, it wasn’t that simple as well. Because all 3 of them could be said to contain countless different types of Sword Intent, so merging them into a completely new Sword Intent required gradual comprehension and discovery by Yang Ye.

To put it simply, it took time!

During the time that Yang Ye was merging with the 2 other Sword Intents, a few major events had occurred in the central territory.

The Exalted Han Empire didn’t have a Half-Saint anymore after Luo Dao fell, and coupled with the fact that it had lost 5 ninth rank Monarch Realm experts, the Exalted Han Empire had truly suffered heavy losses and didn’t possess the strength to deter the clans and sects of the central territory anymore.

Besides that, when the Exalted Han Empire’s domineering att.i.tude and Luo Jun’s actions were taken into consideration, and especially when Luo Jun’s actions of slaughtering tens of millions of people to summon experts from the ancient times were exposed, the Exalted Han Empire’s reputation suffered a terrible decline and the Mortal Emperor was utterly infamous. He’d become the first Mortal Emperor in history to suffer from infamy.

So, countless clans and sects announced the dissolution of their alliance with the Exalted Han Empire.

After that, all of them dispatched envoys to Ancient Domain City. They hadn’t done this because they wanted to, and it was because they had no other choice. Because there was only a single Half-Saint in the human world.

When faced with the friendly display from these clans and sects, Ding Shaoyao returned the gesture after careful deliberation. After all, the southern territory’s path wasn’t one that had the goal of destroying the human world. If it wanted to grow stronger, then it had to make even more powers join the southern territory’s side. Only then could the southern territory s...o...b..ll rapidly!

However, not only had she refused some clans and sects, she’d even dispatched forces to subdue them. For example, the Mo Clan which had left that day….

No one liked people who abandon their companions during times of difficulty. If it were up to her, she would have just annihilated the Mo Clan. Indeed, the southern territory had the strength to accomplish that. However, she hadn’t done so because there was a link between Yang Ye and the Mo Clan, so she’d decided to let Yang Ye make the decision once he awoke!

After she formed an alliance with numerous clans and sects of the central territory, the 1st thing Ding Shaoyao did was to clear out all the Oceanic Clans in the Ocean of Anarchy. The Oceanic Clans would naturally not stand by idly and wait for death to descend upon them, but they were utterly powerless to resist once the southern territory’s army pressed down upon them. At this moment, the southern territory’s strength was sufficient to go against the Exalted Han Empire!

Once she’d finished clearing out the Ocean of Anarchy, she joined the southern territory, Ancient Domain City, and the Ocean Anarchy into a single territory. At the same time, she moved the army in Ancient Domain City to the Ocean of Anarchy.

Everyone understood her intentions.

They were very well aware that the moment Yang Ye woke up would be the moment that the southern territory attacked the central territory.

At this moment, could the Exalted Han Empire resist the southern territory?

Perhaps it could if Yang Ye didn’t wake up, but what could it do to resist the southern territory if Yang Ye did wake up?

…

The Imperial Palace of the Exalted Han Empire.

At this moment, the officials were having a meeting with the emperor, but the entire hall was horrifyingly silent. It wasn’t Luo Jun who was seated on the throne right now, and it was the emperor who’d lost his position some time ago, Emperor Han.

“War or reconciliation?” Emperor Han’s voice suddenly resounded, and then the bodies of everyone here couldn’t help but tremble. Obviously, Emperor Han’s prestige and strength was far superior to Luo Jun. But it couldn’t be helped because regardless of how great his prestige and strength were, he couldn’t defy Luo Dao’s word.

No one answered Emperor Han because only misfortune awaited that person. Because the current situation was one where the Exalted Han Empire had no right to choose. That decision was in the hands of the southern territory.

“War, of course!” Right at this moment, a voice resounded from outside the hall, and then a man and woman appeared before them.

Their expressions changed a little when they noticed this pair because they were members of the Hallowed Grounds!

Actually, all of these officials and even Emperor Han didn’t have a good impression of the Hallowed Grounds. Because if the Hallowed Grounds hadn’t instigated them to take such action, then the Exalted Han Empire would have definitely not fallen into such a state where it was in dire straits.

Even though they were displeased, they didn’t dare to display it. Conversely, all of them heaved slight sighs of relief because the empire had some support at least, and it hadn’t fallen to a state of being helpless and alone.
