175: Great Victory

In the blink of an eye, Sword Douluo's head flew high, forming an arc that landed precisely next to Sword Xingyun's head.

At this moment, his mouth was wide open, his eyes were bulging, and he died with his eyes still open.

He never expected that this pre-meditated and seemingly certain operation, initiated by his Jian Family, would end up costing them their lives!

Feeling Sword Douluo's aura dissipate, Bei Chen Jing, who was fleeing, was greatly alarmed.

He never expected that Sword Douluo, a Heavenly King Realm expert of the Jian Family, would lose his life so easily!

To kill Sword Douluo at such a rapid speed proved that the black-clad man's cultivation must far exceed his own!

This place was no longer safe, and the entire area near the Eastern Family was no longer safe!

He had to return to the Bei Chen family quickly!

He needed to hurry back and report to the Bei Chen family!

However, at this moment, a chill swept over Bei Chen Jing's heart, causing his body to suddenly freeze, unable to move a single inch.

"Old man, where do you think you're going?"

Bei Chen Jing only felt a captivating voice emanating from all directions.

However, before he could react, his consciousness plunged into a blank state, and he completely fainted.

Mu Wuchen arrived beside Bei Chen Jing, completely dealt with him, and spent 500 points of destiny to turn him into his puppet.

As for Sword Douluo, because he had burned his life during the battle, his body was already severely damaged and had little use value. Mu Wuchen simply absorbed both his physical body and soul into the Bone-Suppressing Celestial Puppet Myriad Soul Banner, making him nourishment for the souls within the Wanhun Fan.

With the fall of Bei Chen Jing and Sword Douluo, the tens of thousands of Jian Family members below were also greatly shocked and completely lost their will to fight.

Two Heavenly King Realm experts had been beheaded by the black-clad man in front of them, and the young master of the Jian Family had also lost his head. What could these minor characters possibly do?

The disparity in strength could never be compensated by numbers!

Without strong experts overseeing them, the tens of thousands of Jian Family elites below quickly collapsed like a crumbling mountain. Except for a very few who managed to escape, most of the Jian Family elites became puppets and nourishment under the Bone-Suppressing Celestial Puppet Myriad Soul Banner.

As Mu Wuchen's side settled, battles in other directions had also begun simultaneously.

To the north, two Xiao Family Heavenly King Realm experts faced off against one Bei Chen family Heavenly King and one Jian Family Heavenly King Realm expert. The Bei Chen family Heavenly King was clearly much stronger than the Jian Family Heavenly King, and the two Xiao Family Heavenly Kings were both at an intermediate level of strength. In a 2v2 situation, they were surprisingly evenly matched, with neither side able to gain the upper hand!

On the southern battlefield, Xiao Zhan, Han Yizhou, and Li Hou, the three puppets, also encountered two Heavenly Kings. However, Xiao Zhan and Li Hou were already quite weak among Heavenly Kings, and after becoming puppets, their strength was further weakened, clearly making them no match for the two genuine Heavenly Kings they faced. Fortunately, Han Yizhou's strength was greater, which barely allowed them to hold on.

On the western battlefield, Luo Shuangfei, a Heavenly King of the Second Layer, fought one against two without any pressure!

In the previous period, with the upgrade of the System Divine Hall, her strength had once again risen by a notch.

Furthermore, she had constantly been bullied by Mu Wuchen and couldn't defeat him, so she vented all her pent-up frustration on these two Heavenly Kings.

She overpowered her two opponents of the same realm with absolute strength, leaving them no room to retaliate, and ultimately beheaded both of them, returning victorious!

...

The battle lasted for a full month before finally settling.

Contrary to what others had imagined, the currently prominent Bei Chen family suffered a crushing defeat in their first gamble against the Xiao Family!

All eight Heavenly Kings from the Bei Chen family and the Jian Family were killed by the Xiao Family, and tens of thousands of Jian Family elites were almost completely annihilated!

After the battle, the several surrounding forces that had previously pledged allegiance to the Bei Chen family and attacked the Eastern Family were implicated and completely wiped out!

As for Chu Qing, who was the first to pledge allegiance to the Bei Chen family, he seemed to have received prior warning, abandoned his properties in eighty cities, and used a special teleportation array to escape ahead of time...

After this battle, hundreds of large and small forces near the Eastern Family felt immense pressure and successively chose to submit to the Xiao Family.

After all, times were different now. A month ago, they could choose to observe.

But now, the gamble in the area near the Eastern Family had already determined a victor. If they did not submit now, it would be tantamount to indirectly opposing the Xiao Family, and they would inevitably suffer joint exclusion from other nearby forces!

Moreover, after this battle, various major forces in other places once again held high-level meetings, seemingly to re-evaluate how they should choose in the future.

Previously, most people thought that the Bei Chen family reigned supreme, and with the submission of the Ancient Domain, their strength would inevitably crush the Xiao Family.

But now, the Xiao Family fought such a beautiful battle, causing the Bei Chen family to lose a full eight Heavenly Kings in a single engagement!

Such strength also conveyed a message to the entire Ancient Domain.

The Xiao Family was not a pushover.

And the Bei Chen family might not be as powerful as imagined...

...

Months later, in the Xiao Family's main hall.

By this time, a considerable amount of time had passed since the battle at the Eastern Family, but the entire Xiao Family was still exhilarated.

The victory in this battle greatly boosted the confidence of the Xiao Family members.

"Brother Mu, I offer you a toast. You are the greatest contributor to this battle!"

At this moment, many people were seated in the Xiao Family's main hall; they were all core figures of the Xiao Family.

Xiao Clan Leader Xiao Qian held a golden goblet and toasted Mu Wuchen, who was beside him.

Beside Mu Wuchen, Xiao Ziyan was dressed in a luxurious gilded purple phoenix-tail gown, looking very beautiful.

She stood obediently beside Mu Wuchen, extended her jade hand to gently fill a cup of the Xiao Family's finest immortal brew for Mu Wuchen, and then, holding the cup with both hands, brought it to Mu Wuchen's hand.

Throughout the entire celebration banquet, she was only responsible for pouring wine for Mu Wuchen alone.

This arrangement was naturally to highlight Mu Wuchen's special status.

Behind Mu Wuchen, Su Meier stood quietly to the side, like a little transparent figure.

Within the Xiao Family, no one knew her strength except for Xiao Qian and Xiao Ziyan.

Otherwise, if others knew that a Supreme Realm powerhouse was standing right beside them while they were sitting, their butts would probably not be able to stay seated...

However, even without knowing Su Meier's identity, these people still dared not show the slightest disrespect towards Mu Wuchen.

This was because Xiao Qian's attitude towards Mu Wuchen was simply too respectful, even having the Xiao Family's little princess, Xiao Ziyan, personally attend to Mu Wuchen, and Xiao Ziyan showed no reluctance whatsoever.

Everyone present was not foolish.

What did Xiao Qian's attitude signify?

Either Mu Wuchen's strength was monstrous, or his background was monstrous!
