Transmigrated Scoundrel's Exchange System
176 Aftermath
The remaining members of the Crimson Serpents and Aurelian Dragons stared at the devastation around them, their eyes wide with shock and awe. The battlefield was unrecognizable, a testament to the power and fury of the Spirit Harmony Realm cultivators. The once beautiful landscape had been transformed into a desolate wasteland, a haunting reminder of the destruction that had unfolded.
As the dust settled and the shock of the battle began to fade, both the Crimson Serpents and the Aurelian Dragons realized that the conflict had come to an end. Exhausted, battered, and bruised, they surveyed the carnage around them, the price of their bitter rivalry etched into the very earth.
While they were trying to cope with the destruction, they suddenly felt as though space was sealed around them, and their cultivation was sealed too. Before they could comprehend what was happening, one after another, heads rolled.
The royal ancestor who stood at a further distance looked with his mouth agape, and before he could understand what had occurred, his cultivation was sealed, and he lost consciousness.
When the royal ancestor woke up, he found himself lying on the ground. The devastation caused by the battle was still evident, but there were no bodies or rolling heads which he had seen before losing consciousness. The ancestor felt a deep sense of fear and immediately flew towards the royal castle, vowing to never leave the capital again.
The morning after the epic battle, an eerie silence had fallen over the Mystic Sky Kingdom. People were still reeling from the shock of the devastating battle that had taken place in a distant location far from the capital. Even though it had happened far away, the sounds of combat had reached many cities within the kingdom, and the populace was left wondering what had happened.
The royal family announced that a battle between immortals over a divine-grade treasure had occurred, which could have been catastrophic. However, the royal ancestor intervened just in time and stopped the battle. While attempting to stop the battle between immortals, the ancestor was injured and will be recuperating in seclusion for the next hundred years, during which time he will not meet with anyone.
During this chaotic period, the disappearance of the owners and staff of the Khaleesi Inn and Khaleesi Auction House went largely unnoticed. It was only later, when the situation began to settle down, that the locals realized the once-famous auction house had mysteriously vanished, leaving behind an empty building that had become a landmark in the Royal Capital. People assumed that most of the patrons had lost their lives in the catastrophic battle between the immortals.
Months passed, and while the people of the Mystic Sky Kingdom struggled to come to terms with the aftermath of the earth-shattering battle, a secret meeting was taking place in the headquarters of the Shadow Lotus organization. Present at this meeting were all council members, the leader of Shadow Lotus and Han Cai.
The third council member spoke up, questioning Han Cai about his actions. "You said you would support the Royal family, but instead, you caused a massive battle between the Crimson Serpents and the Aurelian Dragons."
Han Cai replied coolly, "Isn't this what you all wanted?"
The council member responded, "Initially, yes. But inciting them to such a level was not expected. If the Royal family's Ancestor hadn't interfered, this battle might have destroyed half the country. Our agenda was to support the Royal family, wasn't it? Why did you change your mind and incite such a large-scale battle?"
Han Cai simply said, "Plans change."
The leader of Shadow Lotus voiced his concerns, "Han Cai, we planned to support the Royal family. Now that their ancestor is injured, if the Crimson Serpents and the Aurelian Dragons decide to team up and capture the kingdom, dividing it amongst themselves, all your hard work will be for nothing."
Han Cai shook his head. "I wanted to follow our initial plan, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, we had to change our plans. Nevertheless, both factions have violated the Daxing Treaty."
The leader of Shadow Lotus shook his head in disbelief. "If either the Crimson Serpents or the Aurelian Dragons alone had violated the treaty, we could hold it against one of them and team up with another powerful faction. But since both of them have violated the treaty, who will hold them accountable?"
Han Cai replied confidently, "You will."
The leader of Shadow Lotus looked at Han Cai curiously. "What do you mean?"
Han Cai explained, "Neither the Azure Messenger nor Xue Lian returned to their organizations. They have all been wiped out. While the Royal family's Ancestor only lost their senses for a short time, he was not injured. He was just afraid because someone had killed all the immortals of Crimson Serpents and Aurelian Dragons in front of his eyes. Ask your spies, or I know you have a great relationship with the Iron Talons and the Silent Ravens. You can check with them about this news."
The leader of Shadow Lotus was shocked. "Who wiped them out? We do keep good diplomatic relationships with the Iron Talons and Silent Ravens."
Han Cai responded, "I don't have much time to waste, so I'll get to the point. I'm going to give you the Daxing Continent, but I need a promise from you in return."
The leader of Shadow Lotus gave Han Cai a confused look. "What do you mean?"
Han Cai continued, "You have already seen my abilities. I am not even at the Nascent Soul stage, but I can manipulate the laws of this world. I made two Spirit Harmony Realm cultivators break the Daxing Treaty. From my actions, you know that when I promise you something, I am not jesting."
Han Cai then made his offer. "So, I'm making you an offer that you can't refuse. I will give you the Daxing Continent to rule for the next ten thousand years, but in return, what I want from you is to support and protect my Sky Soaring Sect and my family for the same duration. You and the council members must take a Dao oath to uphold this promise."
