Chapter 529 Submission to the Great Qin
“Xuan Kongzi, you can’t do this! We are the backbone of the human race. If we are gone, the entire human race will be in chaos.”
"By then, even if the Qin Dynasty forcibly unifies the human race, it will not be able to truly win over everyone's hearts. Without the support of the people, the country will be unstable! Do you really want to see the Qin Dynasty's rule falter and the human race fall apart?"
"We still have our uses! You don't want the Qin Dynasty to be unable to govern the entire human race in the future, do you?"
A sect leader stepped forward, his voice tinged with urgency and resentment.
He knew that Xuan Kongzi was serious this time, and there was no point in begging for mercy anymore.
Rather than waiting to die, it's better to take a gamble and perhaps seize a glimmer of hope.
"Are you threatening me?" Xuan Kongzi's face turned cold upon hearing his words, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
His aura suddenly intensified, and the terrifying power of a Human Immortal pressed down like a mountain, forcing the sect leader to the ground, making it difficult for him to even breathe.
"No... I wouldn't dare! I'm just stating a fact!"
Although the sect leader was unable to move under the pressure, he still managed to raise his head with difficulty, his eyes fixed on Xuan Kongzi, filled with stubbornness and unwillingness.
Xuan Kongzi looked at him, a meaningful smile suddenly appearing on his face, as if he were looking at a group of ignorant ants.
He spoke slowly, his voice cold and mocking: "It seems you know far too little about the Great Qin. Did you think that without you, the Great Qin couldn't control the human race? Too bad, you've miscalculated!"
Upon hearing this, the faces of those sect leaders instantly turned deathly pale, and a chill ran through their hearts.
They had assumed that, given their status and influence among the human race, Xuan Kongzi would at least have some reservations.
However, Xuan Kongzi's words shattered their illusions completely.
"Moreover, do you really think the people of the human race truly accept you?" Xuan Kongzi's voice rang out again, tinged with sarcasm and contempt. "In the eyes of ordinary human people, you are even more despicable than other races. You are high and mighty, exploiting the people, and have long lost their hearts. Apart from you, Great Qin will find it easier to control the human race, and the people will only applaud!"
These words were like a sharp blade, piercing the hearts of those sect leaders.
Their faces grew even paler, and their last glimmer of hope vanished.
They finally realized that Xuan Kongzi had seen through everything long ago, and that their existence was already a superfluous burden to the Great Qin.
After Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, he gave Li Sheng a wink.
Li Sheng immediately understood, a cold smile appearing on his face. He slowly drew his longsword, its blade gleaming with a blinding cold light in the sunlight.
"Gentlemen, let's go!" Li Sheng said coldly, his voice devoid of any emotion. Before he finished speaking, his figure rushed out like a ghost.
Under Xuan Kongzi's oppressive aura, the sect leaders were completely unable to move and could only watch helplessly as Li Sheng's sword approached.
A flash of sword light, a splatter of blood, and a sect leader fell to the ground. Then came the second sword, the third sword… Li Sheng's movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
A moment later, only deathly silence remained in the arena. Those once high and mighty sect leaders were now all lying in pools of blood, without a trace of life.
Xuan Kongzi stood high up, coldly observing everything as if it had nothing to do with him.
His gaze remained unwavering, as if the lives and deaths of these people were nothing more than pieces on a chessboard, to be discarded at will.
"The human race will become even stronger in the future..."
Xuan Kongzi looked at the corpse in the main hall and slowly spoke.
"Li Sheng, issue the order: these people who disobeyed Great Qin have all been executed. The remaining sects and their leaders are to immediately come to the ancestral court to discuss their allegiance to Great Qin..."
Xuan Kongzi looked at Li Sheng and gave him instructions.
"Yes, sir! I'll go and relay the order right away!"
Li Sheng said respectfully.
He had long disliked these sect leaders, and now that he had killed them, his mind was much clearer.
I have a vague feeling that there are signs of a breakthrough.
The sect leaders that Xuan Kongzi summoned this time were not all of them.
Rather, it was those who opposed the unification of the human race.
He naturally wouldn't eliminate the rest of the people who didn't oppose the unification of the human race.
Most of those targeted in this cleanup were people who lived in the rear of the human race and had been indulging in pleasure for years. Their years of indulgence had completely robbed them of their fighting spirit and made them forget the plight of the human race.
However, those forces on the borders of the human race still uphold the greater good of humanity.
They also support the unification of the human race.
These people are naturally incomparable to those lying in this hall.
Xuan Kongzi's orders were quickly relayed to those forces.
Previously, they had received news that Xuan Kongzi had summoned a group of people to the ancestral court, but they had not received any orders, so they did not go.
Now, Xuan Kongzi's orders have arrived, and they know the fate of those people.
They were all killed.
This sent a chill down their spines. They wondered if they would be killed as well when they were summoned to the ancestral temple.
However, after reading Xuan Kongzi's orders, their worries vanished.
These people did not support the unification of the human race; they deserved to die.
But they are different; they all support the unification of the human race.
Moreover, the deeds of the Qin Dynasty had long been known in traditional Chinese medicine, and they had naturally longed to see it for a long time. So, they had no objection to submitting to the Qin Dynasty.
After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, these people set off directly for the ancestral temple.
This time things went smoothly; all the sect leaders, emperors, and monarchs supported submitting to Great Qin and becoming part of it.
With the Qin Dynasty backing them up, they no longer needed to feign compliance with those foreign tribes.
After finishing his business, Xuan Kongzi summoned Yue Fei, who was stationed at the ancestral temple.
He recounted the whole story to Yue Fei.
"General Yue, the matter of the major human forces merging into the Great Qin still requires your attention. I have already dealt with all the leaders of those forces that were unwilling to unify the human race. What remains are the forces that are willing to unify the human race..."
"However, although those faction leaders have been killed, there are still powerful individuals within their sects, and these people could potentially become obstacles..."
Xuan Kongzi looked at Yue Fei and spoke.
Yue Fei was stationed at the ancestral court of the human race, so he was naturally well aware of what had happened before. He had already advanced to the Human Immortal Realm, so the situation inside the main hall could not be kept from him.
He hadn't expected Xuan Kongzi to be so ruthless, actually killing all those faction leaders.
"Rest assured! I will handle this matter..."
"Our Qin army, numbering a million, is still stationed in the Fengyuan Mountains. I will immediately send a message to General Han Xin, instructing him to lead the army to the border of the human race to guard against attacks from those alien tribes..."
"As for matters concerning the human race, I will leave them to you..."
Yue Fei looked at Xuan Kongzi and spoke.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, General..."
Xuan Kongzi stood up, bowed slightly to Yue Fei, and spoke.
"This is all I should do..."
Yue Fei returned the greeting and spoke.
After that, the Qin army in the Fengyuan Mountains set off towards the border of the human race.
Within the human realm, Yue Fei also began to complete the tasks he needed to accomplish.
Now, the spies he had previously planted in various factions can finally come into play.
Previously, many people came to visit Yue Fei. These people were all high-ranking officials from various forces. Many of them had been turned by Yue Fei and he gave them a lot of support.
Now that those forces are leaderless, it's the perfect time for these people to take over.
