"You think I wouldn't want your soul? You're dreaming!"
Qian'er sneered. A True King-level Beastmaster's soul was a treasure, and he couldn't possibly miss out.
He winked at the Human Sovereign Banner. The Human Sovereign Banner immediately enveloped the Wang family patriarch's remains. The soul fragments, which were originally dissipating and turning into the purest energy to scatter in the world, were all absorbed into the banner's realm.
Even if it's shattered, it's still edible.
"Come out, you've been watching for so long. What did you see?"
Qian'er waved his hand towards his left side with a smile.
The next moment, a figure abruptly appeared from there, bowing respectfully to Qian'er, his face still showing a trace of surprise and uncertainty, seemingly frightened by the power that Qian'er's Frostglory Bone Dragon had just unleashed.
"Your subordinate, Tian Pu, the newly appointed General of the Southern Expedition of Yan Country, greets Your Majesty."
The figure was dressed in a military uniform embroidered with running beasts, and he solemnly saluted Qian'er. Qian'er could sense that he was a Peak Quasi-King Beastmaster, but he wasn't sure what element he specialized in.
"General of the Southern Expedition?"
Qian'er raised an eyebrow, a smile appearing on his face.
The position of General of the Southern Expedition was quite significant.
The previous General of the Southern Expedition of Yan Country was Fu Jiaping, who had chosen to stand with the aristocratic families and attacked Qian'er, but was later killed by Qian'er and had his spine severed.
However, Qian'er didn't kill him because Yu Feiyi advised him that he was, after all, a general in active service of Yan Country and shouldn't die by his hands, so he was taken away. After that, there was no news of him. He never expected that when he saw the General of the Southern Expedition again, it would be a different person.
"What happened to your predecessor?"
Qian'er asked with a smile.
Tian Pu wasn't flustered at all, as if he had already prepared an answer.
He cupped his fist towards Qian'er before explaining.
"Replying to Your Majesty, the traitor Fu Jiaping intended to rebel and was executed along with his three clans."
Qian'er understood. The charge of treason was purely fabricated. It must have been a trumped-up charge. It seemed that the aristocratic families' actions of extending their influence into the military, even to the position of the Four Expedition Generals, had become intolerable to the authorities, and they had even taken the step of executing three generations of his family.
"Then what are you doing here? Don't tell me that you, one of the Four Expedition Generals, are so bored that you came here to wander around."
"His Majesty sent me to clean up the mess for Your Majesty."
As he spoke, Tian Pu released his beast. The moment Qian'er saw the beast, his eyes widened slightly.
The silver-white body emitted a hazy divine light, and the sound of gears turning continuously echoed from within the metallic torso. Beneath the dragon-scale-like cracked bark, the silhouette of gears could be vaguely seen.
It was actually a Limitless Light Tree, a Quasi-God Limitless Light Tree just like Senior Xiaoyue.
【Limitless Light Tree】
【Attribute: Psychic, Steel】
【Level: 60 (Peak Quasi-King)】
【Aptitude: Gold】
【HP Base Stat: 80】
【Attack Base Stat: 95】
【Defense Base Stat: 90】
【Special Attack Base Stat: 135】
【Special Defense Base Stat: 130】
【Speed Base Stat: 70】
【Total Base Stats: 600】
With a quick glance, the attributes of this Limitless Light Tree clearly appeared before Qian'er's eyes.
"Come on over."
Because of Senior Xiaoyue, Qian'er naturally had a pure and innate fondness for Limitless Light Trees. His tone was much friendlier than before, and he made way.
Tian Pu nodded and then looked at the Limitless Light Tree.
The Limitless Light Tree also swayed its branches slightly, as if countless silver-white hands were slicing through the air, manipulating time.
The city in front of them seemed to rewind to before it was destroyed.
This was precisely the racial talent of the Limitless Light Tree, the ability to manipulate the timeline, but this Limitless Light Tree couldn't do it as effortlessly as Senior Xiaoyue.
"Alright."
After about ten minutes, the city in front of them had been restored from a pile of ruins. Tian Pu bowed to Qian'er, retracted the Limitless Light Tree, and his figure disappeared again.
Qian'er could sense that he hadn't left, but was hiding in the shadows. It seemed that the authorities had ordered this General of the Southern Expedition to follow him and clean up after him.
Taking one last look at the empty, desolate city below, Qian'er turned and left, heading towards his next destination.
Empress Linchuan, Guang Yuanwen.
Because the Zhao family had already been destroyed, Qian'er only had three enemies left, and now half of them were gone.
The Wen and Wang families had been on good terms for generations, and their family lands were in neighboring provinces, watching over each other.
Because of their inherited beasts, the family traditions of both families had been influenced to some extent. The Wang family valued fame, while the Wen family valued power. The Wen family's influence within the official circles of Yan Country was also the widest and deepest among the eight families, even achieving the status of 'Five Lords in Three Generations'.
This feat even surpassed the Yuan and Yang families in the history of the apocalyptic world.
Logically speaking, the resistance encountered in destroying the Wen family should be the greatest, but Qian'er was different. He was a True King of the Darkness element, and those carnivores were the most shrewd in this regard, so they would definitely not try to stop a True King of the Darkness element.
However, being a family of 'Five Lords in Three Generations', Qian'er was still stopped when he arrived in Guangyuan City.
"Stop! No large beasts are allowed to enter Guangyuan City!"
When the Frostglory Bone Dragon reached the airspace of Guangyuan City, it was stopped by the Guangyuan City garrison.
Looking at the man in front of him, riding a Wind-Taming Gryphon and blocking his way, wearing the uniform of a military commander, both Qian'er and the Frostglory Bone Dragon were amused.
"Huh?"
Glug.
Hearing Qian'er's rising tone, the Guangyuan military commander swallowed hard, but still stood in front of Qian'er with a serious face.
Although he was scared to death, he still did it, in order to buy some time, at least to send his children away. Who knew that the Wang family had boasted so much before, but after the real fight, they were so easily crushed? It had only been less than half an hour, and they had already finished killing them over there?!
Now he only hoped that the national law could stop Qian'er for a moment, after all, the national law forbade large flying beasts from entering the city's airspace.
But he still underestimated Qian'er.
Qian'er looked at him seriously for a few moments, making his heart pound. Just then, Qian'er suddenly chuckled, the laughter almost slowing his heartbeat by half a beat.
"Interesting. Bone Forest, seal off the entire Guangyuan."
As he spoke, Qian'er patted the Frostglory Bone Dragon's head.
The Frostglory Bone Dragon nodded and let out a long roar, the ground began to tremble violently. The next moment, hundreds of meters high bones rose from the ground, surrounding the entire Guangyuan City, making it impenetrable.
The military commander's face turned pale, and he looked at Qian'er helplessly, while Qian'er walked up and gently patted his shoulder.
"Now, no one can escape. Tell me, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"
As he spoke, the Frostglory Bone Dragon's eyes stared at the military commander, the cold light in the soul fire making the military commander feel as if his soul was frozen.
