170: Three major forces

Wei Tieshan, who had been smiling and agreeing, lost the smile on his face when he turned to look at Hei Bu Guan.

"Who gave you the right? Is my Young Master someone you can hit?"

Wei Tieshan looked at Hei Bu Guan with disdain.

After speaking, Wei Tieshan raised his right hand, and a giant blood-red handprint immediately appeared in the air.

Following Wei Tieshan's movement, it slowly, incomparably, clenched towards Hei Bu Guan.

In fact, the moment Wei Tieshan turned around, Hei Bu Guan wanted to communicate with the spatial power of this place and escape as quickly as possible, because he could feel that the iron tower-like giant in front of him was not someone he could resist.

Although they hadn't fought, that was the feeling he got.

However, Hei Bu Guan's efforts were in vain; all the power of heaven and earth in this place seemed to have completely vanished, and space was sealed.

Seeing the giant blood-red handprint approaching, Hei Bu Guan could only fill the space around him with the power of laws, resisting as much as possible; he couldn't run, he could only endure it.

Watching Hei Bu Guan's actions, Wei Tieshan's lips curled into a playful smile, and the giant blood-red palm had already grasped Hei Bu Guan.

As the giant handprint slowly tightened, Hei Bu Guan's facial muscles were visibly contorting.

Clearly, Hei Bu Guan was enduring immense pain at this moment.

Xun Xiuyuan and Ghost Elder and the others were all wide-mouthed and quite discomfited at this exaggerated scene.

They had originally thought the two would engage in an intense battle, but they hadn't expected the situation to be so strange.

It was as if a strong adult was disciplining a toddler who had just learned to walk; the difference was unimaginably vast.

Hei Bu Guan knew that as long as he shouted surrender, he would surely be fine; there was no deep-seated hatred between them to begin with.

But he was truly unwilling; after all, he had endured hardships and finally unified the three regions with great difficulty. Who knew that his first campaign would end in regret here?

Wei Tieshan saw the unwillingness in Hei Bu Guan's eyes and snorted coldly: "It's better to kill such an unruly person to avoid future trouble."

Subsequently, under Wei Tieshan's control, the grip of the red giant palm suddenly increased, preparing to crush Hei Bu Guan into a pulp.

At the same time, he took out a golden lamp, looking at Hei Bu Guan with a smile on his face.

Xun Xiuyuan didn't recognize this lamp, but Ghost Elder and Hei Bu Guan's expressions changed simultaneously upon seeing it.

Hei Bu Guan shouted, "I surrender! I am willing to pledge allegiance, willing to pledge allegiance!"

Wei Tieshan heard Hei Bu Guan's words but didn't act on his own accord, turning to glance at Xun Xiuyuan.

Xun Xiuyuan nodded.

Wei Tieshan put away the golden lamp, withdrew his handprint, and stood to the side.

He was like a loyal guard, protecting Xun Xiuyuan.

Xun Xiuyuan gave Wei Tieshan a meaningful look, then walked in front of Hei Bu Guan.

"I need to place a restriction on you. I'm afraid that in the future..."

Xun Xiuyuan didn't finish his sentence.

Hei Bu Guan looked at Wei Tieshan again and immediately said, "Alright, I hope Master can lead his subordinate to unify the world."

Hei Bu Guan was very clever; the quasi-god opposite him had a powerful background.

Pledging allegiance to him might be much faster than slowly developing in the Chaotic Realm on his own.

Thinking of this, his mood gradually calmed down.

Xun Xiuyuan looked at Hei Bu Guan and said, "Do not resist. After the restriction is placed, the soldiers of the Six Regions will all be under your command, and you can continue to fulfill your wish of unifying the Chaotic Realm."

Upon hearing Xun Xiuyuan's words, Hei Bu Guan, who had been preparing to struggle a bit, completely let go of his mental defenses.

He allowed Xun Xiuyuan to cast the Soul Control Technique on him.

Wei Tieshan saw Xun Xiuyuan quickly cast the Soul Control Technique. Was it that simple?

A little uneasy, Wei Tieshan reminded, "Lord, is this restriction reliable? Or should I place another restriction?"

Xun Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "No need, it's very safe. He won't have a chance."

Of course, in this world, it's estimated that no one's spiritual power growth rate could be faster than Xun Xiuyuan's.

Hei Bu Guan, controlled by the Soul Control Technique, spoke again, "Master, since the Six Regions are unified, I think it's necessary to select elite soldiers and strong generals to gather in one place and form a powerful army to lay the foundation for our subsequent expansion."

Xun Xiuyuan's original goal was only to protect the human race in the Cage Domain, and later, the allegiance of the Beast Domain made Xun Xiuyuan the lord of the Beast Domain.

Now, under the pressure of circumstances, Xun Xiuyuan had actually become the co-ruler of the Six Regions.

Although he had become the common lord of the Six Regions, it hadn't been for long, only a few months in total.

So Xun Xiuyuan had no plans for expansion in his mind at all; he was being forced into it, so where would he have plans?

At this moment, hearing Hei Bu Guan's words, Xun Xiuyuan's heart also stirred: "That's right, why not? Why should the Cage Domain be exiled? As long as I occupy the southern part of the Chaotic Realm, I can do whatever I want. By then, the people of the Cage Domain won't have to stay in that cage forever, making advancement difficult."

"Hei Bu Guan, are you clear about the situation in the southern part of the Chaotic Realm? What are your plans?"

Having figured it out, Xun Xiuyuan quickly got into character.

Hei Bu Guan saw that Xun Xiuyuan indeed had a grand plan and immediately said excitedly, "Our Six Regions are located in the easternmost part of the southern Chaotic Realm, a corner position. To the north, it borders the new territory unified by the human race. To the south and east are barren void areas, with thin spiritual energy, making survival difficult."

"Only to the west are hundreds of regions that the Ghost Clan wants to occupy. At this time, there are three major forces with the greatest power."

At this point, Hei Bu Guan glanced at Wei Tieshan.

Xun Xiuyuan, seeing this, also looked at Wei Tieshan.

Wei Tieshan scratched his head and said, "Young Master, what I said is true; I really came to pledge allegiance to you. If it doesn't work, you can also place a restriction on me."

Xun Xiuyuan was a bit surprised at this moment. Originally, he didn't trust Wei Tieshan much, but now he was actually willing to let him place a restriction, so his motives should be fine.

Then Xun Xiuyuan looked at Hei Bu Guan and nodded.

Hei Bu Guan was immediately overjoyed and continued, "Apart from the three major forces, there are some scattered individual regions. The current warfare mainly takes place within the three major forces. Due to the intervention of the Ghost Clan, the Ghost Clan within the three major forces has launched wars against the Exotic Beast Clan and human race within those forces."

Xun Xiuyuan pondered for a moment after hearing this and asked, "Three major forces? What is the relationship between them?"

Hei Bu Guan said, "The three major forces are Ghost Valley, Defying Heaven Pavilion, and the Beast Alliance. Among them, Ghost Valley's power is undoubtedly the largest, with nearly two hundred regions within its sphere of influence, mainly composed of the Ghost Clan. The human race and Exotic Beast Clan-occupied regions within it are barely surviving and could be wiped out at any time."

Xun Xiuyuan didn't speak, listening carefully.

Hei Bu Guan thought for a moment and then continued, "Defying Heaven Pavilion is a human force, with nearly thirty regions. It is the smallest of the three forces, but it is the most united. At least so far, the annexation wars instigated by the Ghost Clan have not affected this force."

"The last force is the Beast Alliance. As the name suggests, it's an alliance organized by powerful Exotic Beasts, with both Ghost Clan and human race present, and it's also the most chaotic force. Its territory covers nearly a hundred regions."
