Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Outside the city of Changling Pass, there were four major military camps, strategically positioned in the areas corresponding to the southeast, southwest, northwest, and northeast corners of the city.

In this way, each military camp could echo the two camps on its left and right.

The four military camps each had 500,000 troops equipped with bows, infantry, cavalry, and armored soldiers, totaling two million soldiers. Adding the one million within Changling Pass, the total force amounted to over three million.

This was an incredibly terrifying number.

After all, this was just the military distribution of a city and its surrounding area within the Great Qian Dynasty, and not even a border pass.

Border cities bore the heavy responsibility of guarding the frontier, located on the front lines against the Wu'an Dynasty. The entire border city region only had three million border troops, with only about a million stationed within the border city itself on a regular basis.

A border city, despite sounding like a city, was actually a smaller provincial-level region on the frontier.

Jun Wuxie utilized the Minor Void Technique and infiltrated the military camp very smoothly.

Within the military camp, there were many Great Saint Extreme Sky Realm generals, with the main general being a Half-step Overlord Saint Realm expert, the same level as the city lord of Changling Pass.

However, Jun Wuxie could sense that there was a difference in the intensity of their natural talent and growth. The city lord of Changling Pass was significantly stronger than the main general of the military camp outside the city.

The military camp was heavily guarded, with armored soldiers patrolling in alternating shifts, leaving no gaps.

On the watchtowers, the sentries constantly monitored the movements in the distance, remaining extremely vigilant.

The central military tent was not large, and Jun Wuxie did not dare to infiltrate it.

In such a limited space and distance, it was impossible to successfully sneak in. Once he got close, he would be detected by the Half-step Overlord Saint Realm commander inside.

He stayed far away from the main tent, hiding in the void, quietly waiting for an opportunity.

An hour later, the commander finally walked out of the main tent, followed by several high-ranking generals.

The opportunity Jun Wuxie was waiting for had arrived. When the commander was far away, he quietly sneaked in and hid inside the main tent.

He kept his body absolutely still, held his breath, and lowered his heartbeat to a near-stopped state. All his vital signs were almost dormant.

Time slowly passed, his heart was calm, and he waited patiently.

The commander finally returned, bringing with him the high-ranking generals who had left earlier, discussing military matters as they walked.

The group entered the tent.

Just as the tent curtain fell, and at the same time as the commander vaguely sensed a strange aura, a flash of ice-blue light appeared in a corner of the military tent.

Before the entering commander and high-ranking generals could see the blue light clearly, a vast expanse of white light swept over.

They only felt a darkness before their eyes, and all senses instantly disappeared, as if they were being pulled into a bottomless abyss of darkness.

At this moment, the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King appeared and sealed the commander-level general's Cave Heaven True Energy with lightning speed.

"Who are you?"

The commander, being the highest realm, was the first to recover his senses and discovered that his Cave Heaven True Energy had been sealed. His face was filled with shock and anger.

He couldn't believe that in his own military camp, he had been controlled and sealed.

This young man's realm seemed not high, but he didn't know what means he had used to sneak in here silently, and he didn't know what divine power he had used to control them.

"Who I am, I'll tell you slowly later."

Jun Wuxie didn't say much to him. He unfolded his Sleeve Universe, and swept the main general and a group of high-ranking generals into his sleeve.

"This general and the other generals have important matters to discuss, no one is allowed to disturb us!"

Jun Wuxie imitated the commander's voice and said to the outside of the tent, the voice spreading far and wide, heard throughout the entire military camp.

Afterward, he hid into the void and quietly left, heading to the next military camp.

Following the same method, he captured the main general and a group of high-ranking generals very smoothly.

In fact, whether it was the Changling Pass city lord's mansion or the military camps outside the city, there were not only heavily guarded armored soldiers patrolling back and forth, seamlessly alternating, but also sensory formations.

In this kind of situation, attempting to sneak in and capture the main generals was almost impossible.

After all, the main generals were all experts with profound realms. How could it be possible to kill them silently?

Any slight disturbance would immediately alarm the armored soldiers.

At that time, trapped in the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers, if only ten to twenty thousand of these armored soldiers were elite, it would be enough to trap and kill three or four Half-step Overlord Saints. Adding the generals in the army, even more Half-step Overlord Saints could be killed!

However, these things were completely overturned for Jun Wuxie.

His Minor Void Technique came from the secret technique recorded in the highest sacred scripture [Myriad Laws Treasure Canon] of the Myriad Laws Sacred Ground.

This secret technique was extraordinary, otherwise it would not have been favored by the Myriad Laws Sacred Ground.

In addition, the experts of the Myriad Laws Sacred Ground used the General Outline of Myriad Laws to analyze and interpret the essence of the Minor Void Technique. Jun Wuxie had practiced this technique for many years and had already cultivated it to a very profound level, giving him extremely powerful lurking abilities.

In addition, his Great Saint Peak soul had a very good level of control over his own energy and life functions. Under the Minor Void Technique, unless the distance was too close, even a Half-step Overlord Saint could not detect his existence.

In Yecheng, Hanzhou, when he sneaked into the Ding family, even the Overlord Saint Minor Sky Realm elder of the Ding family could not detect him within a certain distance.

He sneaked into one military camp after another, quietly waiting for an opportunity, and used the same method to capture all the main generals and high-ranking generals in the four major military camps.

All of this was done without anyone knowing. The armored soldiers in the four major military camps had no idea that their main generals and generals had already fallen into the hands of others.

The main tent was quiet. In the four major military camps, no one dared to approach, because the commander's voice had been heard from inside, telling them that no one was allowed to approach, let alone disturb him and the generals from discussing important matters.

This trip was very smooth.

Jun Wuxie sneaked into Changling Pass in the morning, and by sunset, he had completed the entire plan, capturing the main generals and high-ranking generals in the city and the four major military camps, and headed towards the camp where King Ning's army was stationed.

"Well, the Great Qian is now facing such a situation, we must preserve our strength as much as possible. We must never waste our troops because of internal strife. I have to think of a way to resolve internal strife without loss and unify the Great Qian..."

On the way back to the camp, Jun Wuxie couldn't help but think.

To achieve a lossless resolution of internal strife, the basis for realization is to control the Emperor's army.

If the army cannot be controlled, there is no way to resolve the strife without loss.

"It's a pity, I don't know the art of forcibly brainwashing people..."

Jun Wuxie thought of the old monk from the Great Brahma Zen Sect when he was in the Lower Realm, who wanted to forcibly convert Yao'er and Su Lan at that time.

The Sutra of Salvation of the Demonic Buddha.

Although it is not a good thing, it depends on where it is used.

If it can be used to unify the Great Qian, to unite the people and resist the Wu'an Dynasty, then it would be a good use.

It's just a pity that he was too busy in the Lower Realm, and basically didn't pay much attention to the Great Brahma Zen Sect later, let alone pay attention to the Sutra of Salvation, and didn't even think about cultivating it.

"Master, do you want to control people's will? I may have a way to help Master achieve his wish."

Just as Jun Wuxie regretted not cultivating the Sutra of Salvation back then, the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King in the battle beast space in his body spoke.

"Hmm? What method do you have?"

"Master, you can use a soul contract. Humans can sign soul contracts with creatures of other races, and creatures of other races can also sign soul contracts with humans. It's just that creatures of other races usually don't understand the method of forming a soul contract corresponding to the race, but this subordinate's bloodline inheritance has a method suitable for the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast to use, so they can control their life and death."

When Jun Wuxie heard the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King say this, he immediately understood what it meant, "Are you saying let you forcibly sign a soul contract with them? This is a way, although it is not the best policy, but for now, there is no better choice."

Jun Wuxie stopped in the mountains.

Forcibly signing a soul contract will allow these main generals and high-ranking generals to be controlled by the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King, and he, as the master of the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King, can also control them. No matter how far apart, their souls will establish a close master-servant relationship, and a single thought can cause their souls to collapse.

Doing so will not allow these main generals and generals to sincerely submit and surrender, but it can force them to submit and dare not have any thoughts of betrayal. Once they do, they will be sensed by the main imprinter.

In the future, if he can find a good secret technique to forcibly implant will, it will not be too late to brainwash them at that time.

He did not think about using actions to influence and gain the recognition of these main generals and generals, so that they would voluntarily surrender.

These are the Emperor's people, standing on the opposite side of him, wanting to subdue them in that way would take too long and require doing many things, there is no need for that at all.

He waved his sleeve, and the five main generals, two experts from the Royal Academy, and dozens of high-ranking generals all fell out of the Sleeve Universe space.

"Where is this?"

They looked around, it was all mountains and forests, it seemed to be in the wilderness.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

These people looked at each other, and then they realized that all the garrison commanders and high-ranking generals inside and outside Changling Pass were here.

Each of these people is a strong person with a profound realm, even if they don't rely on the army, going out alone, they are remarkable figures in Qingzhou.

Now they were actually captured here by the same person, it was truly a great shame.

"Of course, it is to have you take the initiative to open Changling Pass, so that King Ning's army can cross the border and go to the border city."

"You're dreaming! The Crown Prince has ordered that Changling Pass must not be opened! Even if you catch us, it's useless!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jun Wuxie slapped the general who was speaking on the face.

"Following the Crown Prince in selling out the country, you are not ashamed but proud! As generals in the army, instead of protecting the country, you actually try to create favorable conditions for the Wu'an Dynasty to seize territory. Do you have any sense of shame or bottom line in your hearts?"

"Do you think we want this? The Crown Prince is in charge of state affairs, and he represents the Emperor's will. We are the Emperor's army. What can we do except obey what the Crown Prince wants us to do? Even if we are unwilling, the Crown Prince will directly take back our military seals and arrange for others to replace us, and it still won't change the current situation!"

"Therefore, I say that you have no bottom line and no sense of shame in your hearts. If the Crown Prince asks you to sell out the country, you will obey. The army of Da Gan, not to mention whether it is the army of Prince Ning or the Emperor, its existence is meant to guard the country and not yield an inch to foreign enemies. If the Crown Prince does this, you should object. If he takes back the military seal, you shouldn't give it to him. What can he do? As it is now, the military seal is in your hands, and the Crown Prince can no longer take it back."

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he summoned the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King and Lan Lan.

Seeing the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King and sensing its aura, the faces of these commanders and generals changed drastically, their pupils constricted, and they revealed a look of horror.

"So it's you, the youth符师 who killed many experts from Prince Ning's府 in the 流云 Forest and subdued the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King!"

"That's not right. Aren't you at odds with Prince Ning's府? Why are you helping Prince Ning now?"

Jun Wuxie looked at them coldly and said, "I am not helping Prince Ning, but to ensure that the most important border town of Da Gan is not breached. In your hearts, the choice of factions in the internal strife for power in Da Gan is more important than the safety of the entire Da Gan's territory. I heard that the discipline of the Da Gan army is very good, very strict, but the overall perspective is far from enough."

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he didn't want to waste any more words with them and signaled the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King with his eyes.

The Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King's eyes suddenly lit up with mysterious blood-colored runes.

The light of its soul bloomed from between its eyebrows, and blood-colored runes overflowed from its eyes, converging towards its eyebrows, fusing with the soul light, and gradually condensing into a soul imprint.

"Soul contract imprint, what do you want to do?"

The several major commanders and senior generals, seeing this scene, were immediately shocked and angry, roaring repeatedly.

"You want the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King to enslave our souls? Impossible! With its soul realm, it can't do it!"

They roared, their eyebrows all lit up with soul light, condensing soul power to prepare for resistance.

In their opinion, although the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King's combat power was extremely strong, it had not yet broken through to the Overlord Saint realm.

It was only a half-step Overlord Saint, and its soul realm should also be in this field. Among them, seven people also had such a soul realm, and the remaining dozens were all Great Saint peak soul realms.

How could a Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King deal with so many of them in terms of soul, so as to forcibly sign a soul contract with them?

"Of course, it can't do it by itself."

Jun Wuxie did not deny what they said, the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King could not do it.

But if Lan Lan helped, the situation would be different.

"Darkness descends!"

As his voice fell, runes flashed in Lan Lan's eyes, and a white light rushed out.

In an instant, several commanders and dozens of senior generals, their eyes went black, and they lost all six senses.

At this moment, both their bodies and souls were in their weakest state.

The Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King seized the opportunity, and the soul imprint from between its eyebrows rushed out, first locking onto the five commanders in the half-step Overlord Saint realm and the two powerful figures from the Royal Academy in the half-step Overlord Saint realm.

Facing targets who had lost all six senses and whose souls were completely unconscious, without any resistance, the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King completed the forced signing of the soul contract in an instant.

By the time they regained their senses, more than a dozen people had already been signed with a soul contract.

"Ah!! We are not convinced, it is impossible to submit to you!"

Those people roared, their eyes fierce.

Jun Wuxie sneered and gave the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King a look.

The Blood鬃 Lion Beast King immediately offered him the master's soul contract imprint.

In this way, Jun Wuxie could directly control their life and death.

Looking at those fierce and unruly eyes, Jun Wuxie's mind moved.

Suddenly, a dozen people let out screams that echoed through the wilderness, clutching their heads, rolling on the ground in pain, as if endless ants were gnawing at their souls, making them wish they were dead.

In an instant, they were covered in cold sweat, their whole bodies twitched, their screams were hoarse, and they were completely curled up into a ball due to the intense and unbearable pain.

"We dare not, we were wrong, we dare not, please stop, stop…"

Some of them couldn't bear it and began to beg for mercy. This kind of pain acting on the soul was unbearable.

"Call me master!"

Jun Wuxie said coldly, and the torture did not stop, continuing to inflict punishment on their souls.

Some people were unwilling to submit and wanted to commit suicide, but since their souls were controlled, any thoughts could not escape Jun Wuxie's perception, and even suicide was difficult to do.

They couldn't die, and they lived in agony, finally causing the few people with the toughest bones to collapse, letting out cries of pleading.

"Master, spare me, I dare not, your subordinate submits, submits to master, please stop, stop ah…"

They let out shrill screams that made people shudder, not like the sound a person could make at all, too miserable and shrill.

"Forget it, I will spare you this time. Remember, don't let there be a next time, otherwise you will be ten times more painful than today! If you act according to my will, you will live well, otherwise you understand."

Jun Wuxie withdrew his control over the soul imprint, the screams stopped, but those dozen people were still curled up on the ground, twitching, their faces pale, their eye sockets sunken, and extremely weak.

This scene made the remaining senior generals who had not been forcibly bound by a soul contract feel cold all over.

"We submit, we surrender to you, please don't use such means on us!"

They were afraid, fearful, and powerless.

It wasn't that they were cowards, nor were they afraid of death.

They weren't afraid of death, as generals who had fought for many years, they saw life and death more lightly.

They were just afraid of a fate worse than death.

Now they couldn't even die. As long as the young man in front of them was unwilling, they didn't even have the right to commit suicide.

The true energy in their dantian was sealed, completely controlled by others, and suicide was impossible.

Once they were forcibly bound by a soul contract, it would be even more impossible to commit suicide, because any thoughts of resisting the master would be sensed by him in an instant.

At that time, the master could control their souls, thereby controlling their behavior, wanting to die but not being able to, and also being punished, just like these people lying on the ground at this moment, enduring that inhuman torture.

"Lan Lan, darkness descends!"

How could Jun Wuxie believe their verbal promises? He preferred the feeling of controlling everything in his own hands.

Because it concerned the overall situation of the entire Da Gan, it concerned his plan. One wrong step would lead to step-by-step mistakes, which would be fatal.

At that time, it was unknown how many times more effort it would take to solve the errors in the plan, which he would absolutely not allow.
