Just as Wang Xiaoqiang was leading his army southward to campaign against the King of Jinling, the King of Jinling was meeting with a mysterious guest.

This mysterious guest was not from the Yellow Dragon Empire, but a prince of the Yue Kingdom — Luo Sang King.

Back then, Wang Xiaoqiang killed one of Luo Sang King's subordinates in the Yue Kingdom. Luo Sang King used an Information Bird to track Wang Xiaoqiang for half a month. Finally, after the bird thoroughly examined Wang Xiaoqiang's identity and background, it flew back to report to Luo Sang King.

Luo Sang King is a vengeful person; although Wang Xiaoqiang had killed just one of his subordinates, he never forgot this grudge and always thought of taking revenge.

However, Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation base is profound, and he's also a Marquis King of the Yellow Dragon Empire, which made things tricky for Luo Sang King. It was not until now that he found an excellent opportunity.

At present, internal strife had arisen in the Yellow Dragon Empire, and the Yue Kingdom, always coveting the Yellow Dragon Empire, was now even more eager.

However, the Emperor of the Yue Kingdom knew the Yellow Dragon Empire was mighty. He had a robber's heart but not the courage. Despite his continued ambition to annex the Yellow Dragon Empire, he was always cautious and never dared to act until the King of Jinling proclaimed himself Emperor. Only then did the Sovereign of Yue Kingdom form a plan — intending to use the pretext of supporting the King of Jinling to turn the Yellow Dragon Empire into a puppet state of the Yue Kingdom.

With this idea, the Emperor of the Yue Kingdom sent Luo Sang King to the Yellow Dragon Empire to persuade the King of Jinling.

The King of Jinling had proclaimed himself Emperor and established the Jinling Kingdom, yet he was always uneasy, fearing he wouldn't be able to maintain his rule. It was at this time that Luo Sang King arrived.

Within a secret chamber.

The King of Jinling and Luo Sang King sat opposite each other, negotiating.

Luo Sang King folded his hands, saluted in the direction of the Yue Kingdom, and said to the King of Jinling: "Our Majesty has said that he will spare no effort to help you secure your throne. He even promised to help you sweep across the entire land, letting you become the sole Emperor of the Yellow Dragon Empire. To completely rename it, turning it into the true Jinling Kingdom."

Hearing this, the King of Jinling felt a surge of excitement, though his expression remained unmoved. He waved his hand calmly and said, "I'm not one for going around in circles. Just tell me directly, what are your Sovereign's conditions?"

"After it's done, Jinling Kingdom only needs to pay tribute to Yue Kingdom annually." Luo Sang King said.

The King of Jinling's eyes flashed with anger, "What? Doesn't that make my Jinling Kingdom a puppet state of the Yue Kingdom?"

"What puppet state? Don't say it so harshly. It's merely a vassal state." Luo Sang King responded in a leisurely tone.

"That won't do either!" the King of Jinling said. "Or else, I would become someone who sells out the country for personal glory."

"You have no choice." Luo Sang King chuckled sinisterly. "You're no match for Wang Xiaoqiang. Even a great figure like Ann Guochu died at his hands, let alone you..."

The King of Jinling stood up proudly, flicking his sleeves, "This King has already advanced to the Immortal Emperor stage. Do you think I would still fear Wang Xiaoqiang, who is merely at the Immortal Sage level?"

"Alright then, since you're so confident, I won't say more," Luo Sang King smiled playfully as he stood up, "I'm staying at the Golden Serpent City. If you change your mind, you can always come to me..."

Golden Serpent City is a city on the border between the Yue Kingdom and the Yellow Dragon Empire, very close to Jinling City.

...

That evening.

Wang Xiaoqiang's grand army arrived at Jinling City, surrounding it completely.

The King of Jinling immediately gathered the feudal kings under his command to rush to relieve Jinling City.

Thirteen feudal kings each led two hundred thousand troops to aid, totaling over two million, which was double Wang Xiaoqiang's forces.

However, in the face of great power, numbers were merely a string of digits.

Wang Xiaoqiang activated the Myriad Circle Spirit Formation to strike.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle outside Jinling City!

This became the bloodiest civil war in the history of the Yellow Dragon Empire, with over three million troops from both sides clashing fiercely, the sound of battle filling the skies. The battle raged from evening into the depths of night, showing no sign of stopping.

The night sky was illuminated by the dazzling lights from the magic treasures, competing with the stars and moonshine above.

Screams, cries of death, and sounds of combat... echoed for miles, with a myriad of dazzling immortal techniques emerging endlessly.

In this fierce battle, Wang Xiaoqiang's Thousand-Position Spirit Formation was hit while covering the Myriad Circle Spirit Formation, resulting in two formations being destroyed, with over a thousand soldiers killed.

Conversely, the feudal kings' armies suffered heavy losses.

Of the over two million troops, when faced with the merciless slaughter of the Myriad Circle Spirit Formation, fewer than two hundred thousand remained. Outside Jinling City stood a land of Mountains of Corpses and Seas of Blood, flesh piled like mountains. It was like a hell on earth.

The bloody stench permeated the air miles away.

Finally, the remaining tens of thousands of feudal soldiers scattered and fled.

Seeing he lost two Thousand-Position Spirit Formations and over a thousand brothers, Wang Xiaoqiang was infuriated. He did not pursue the escaping feudal soldiers but instead ordered the Myriad Circle Spirit Formation to begin the siege.

Under the mighty Myriad Circle Spirit Formation, Jinling City was in imminent danger.

At this moment, the figure of the King of Jinling finally appeared above Jinling City, surrounded by two Immortal King-level and five Immortal Sage-level powerhouses, like stars crowding around the moon.

In the midst of his subordinates, the King of Jinling flew forward arrogantly, above Wang Xiaoqiang's troops. With a sweep of his Divine Sense, noticing no Sixth Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage figures, he looked bewildered and shouted downward, "Which one of you is Wang Xiaoqiang?!!"

At this moment, the King of Jinling thought Wang Xiaoqiang was at the Sixth Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage, so upon finding no such presence, he asked this question.

Wang Xiaoqiang, with a sweep of his own Divine Sense, spotted the Immortal Emperor realm King of Jinling. He then flew up, facing off against him from a distance, and shouted, "I, the General, am here. Are you the rebel King of Jinling??"

The King of Jinling, with a sweep of his Divine Sense, found Wang Xiaoqiang to be at the Immortal King stage and was somewhat surprised. He did not expect Wang Xiaoqiang to have already advanced to the Immortal King level.

However, after a brief surprise, the King of Jinling did not show any signs of panic, because although Wang Xiaoqiang advanced quickly, compared to him, the gap remained substantial.

On the contrary, he felt a sense of superiority. His voice became exceptionally arrogant as he pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang, saying, "Wang Xiaoqiang, are you not shocked now? You didn't expect this King to have advanced to the Immortal Emperor, right, haha..."

"Hmph! Immortal Emperor... is nothing!!" Wang Xiaoqiang laughed as well.

The King of Jinling's face changed, a trace of fury flashed across his face, and he glared at Wang Xiaoqiang, his gaze narrowing, "The whole world says Wang Xiaoqiang is arrogant... I didn't expect you to be arrogant to such a degree. Today, this Emperor will teach you a lesson for not knowing how high the heavens are, or else you'll truly forget!"

Saying this, the King of Jinling flew up, rushing towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang could have completely activated the Myriad Circle Spirit Formation to strike back, but now, Wang Xiaoqiang wanted to test just how powerful the Immortal Emperor realm truly is, to see if he could stand a chance against the Immortal Emperor!
