At this time, more than a thousand kilometers away from the capital of the Immortal Demon Kingdom.
An army of the Immortal Demon Kingdom was clearing out the surrounding forces.
The demonic beasts of the Dark Forest, local factions, and territorial forces were all targets of the kingdom's army.
Jin Xuan and her Endless War Puppet Legion were also part of this army.
She was currently leading her Endless War Puppet Legion in besieging a territorial force belonging to the dark, evil, and chaotic faction, whose territorial troops were Dark Demonic Apes.
"Jin Xuan!"
At this moment, the lord of the Demonic Ape territory roared at Jin Xuan, "You are a top lord, recognized by everyone as Fairy Jin Xuan. With your cohesion and fame, how could you defect to Qian Mo? Isn't this unfair to top lords?!"
Jin Xuan sat on the shoulder of a giant war puppet, her expression calm as she looked at the lord of the Demonic Ape territory and slowly said, "Fairness? Does this world have fairness?"
The lord of the Demonic Ape territory's expression changed slightly, and he said angrily, "Regardless, I have no enmity with you, and I have never invaded Qian Mo's Immortal Demon Kingdom. You have no reason to attack my territory!"
Jin Xuan glanced at him coldly.
"Don't forget, this is a hegemony game, and there is no such thing as a fair fight in this game!"
"Your Majesty Qian Mo is still very merciful. He is giving you lords a chance to survive! You can now take one-fifth of your troops and leave the Dark Forest using the teleportation array!"
"As for everything else in your territory, it is all spoils of war for the Immortal Demon Kingdom!"
"One-fifth of the troops?"
The lord of the Demonic Ape territory gritted his teeth and said, "Then let me take my Territory Heart with me!"
Jin Xuan shook her head, "That is absolutely not allowed!"
The lord's face immediately changed drastically, and his eyes were filled with anger. "If you destroy my Territory Heart, I will be forced to change professions to a lone wolf! What's the point of me taking one-fifth of my troops then?"
"When these troops are all dead, won't I be alone?"
A cold smile flickered across Jin Xuan's lips, "You have no other choice!"
The lord of the Demonic Ape territory gritted his teeth and said, "I surrender! I am willing to become a subordinate force of the Immortal Demon Kingdom and hand over troops and resources daily!"
This was something all the lords in the Dark Forest knew. The Immortal Demon Kingdom's army had only two ways of dealing with these lords.
Either surrender, or die!
If they surrendered to the Immortal Demon Kingdom and became a subordinate force of Qian Mo, they would need to hand over one-fifth of their troops and one-third of their harvested resources to the Immortal Demon Kingdom daily.
For all the lords, these conditions for becoming a subordinate were very harsh.
But compared to losing their lord status or their lives, these harsh conditions were nothing.
Therefore, the lord of the Demonic Ape territory chose to surrender to the Immortal Demon Kingdom.
However, Jin Xuan still shook her head, "We do not accept your surrender! Because your territorial forces belong to the dark, evil, and chaotic factions, which are inconsistent with the faction of the Immortal Demon Kingdom!"
The Immortal Demon Kingdom only accepted the surrender of lords whose factions were consistent with its own. Lords of other factions did not meet the conditions for surrender.
This meant that if the lord of the Demonic Ape territory wanted to survive, he only had one choice.
He could only take one-fifth of his troops and leave through the teleportation array.
When the lord heard Jin Xuan's words, he knew he had no other choice. He could only angrily lead forty Dark Demonic Apes into the territorial teleportation array.
But as he was leaving, this fool turned his head and glared resentfully at Jin Xuan, saying, "Go back and tell Qian Mo that I will repay this humiliation one day!"
"Seeking death!"
Jin Xuan's expression turned cold abruptly.
This lord was truly ungrateful. After his defeat, she had spared him, yet instead of feeling fortunate, he was filled with hatred.
Now he dared to boast and vow to make Xiao Mo regret it.
This was a potential enemy!
"Die!"
Jin Xuan did not hesitate and immediately ordered the Endless War Puppet army to attack the teleportation array.
"Heh heh... You want to kill me now? Too late!"
The lord of the Dark Demonic Ape territory sneered, and the brilliant light of the teleportation array had already enveloped him.
Before Jin Xuan's Endless War Puppets could get close, he would be teleported away.
As he left, he glared hatefully at Jin Xuan, as if etching her face into his bones.
This woman, and Qian Mo, would be his lifelong enemies.
No matter the cost, he would regain his honor and seek revenge.
Even though he had lost his lord status and become a lone wolf, as long as he didn't give up, he could still have the chance to become a powerful deity!
This was the lord's psychological activity at this moment.
But at this very moment.
A terrifying power descended from the sky, directly suppressing his territorial teleportation array.
Under the effect of this terrifying power, the spiritual energy runes of the teleportation array shattered layer by layer.
In a short period, his territorial teleportation array began to disintegrate and gradually disappear.
This scene instantly froze the expression on the Dark Demonic Ape lord's face.
He looked up at the sky, where a tall Immortal Demon stood, exuding a terrifying aura.
His strength had reached the Saint rank!
The lord immediately cried out in terror, "You promised to let me go!"
The Immortal Demon merely glanced at him indifferently. Then, his figure flickered, and he vanished into thin air.
From beginning to end, he did not pay attention to the lord, leaving him to Jin Xuan and her Endless War Puppet Legion to deal with.
"Isn't it better to just leave quietly and live well?"
Jin Xuan slowly walked over, sitting on the shoulder of a giant Endless War Puppet. "This is inherently a cruel game of competition among myriad races. You, who have been defeated, are already fortunate to be alive. Yet you still harbor hatred and intend to take revenge! Do you really think of yourself so highly?"
The lord's face turned pale with fright at this moment.
He shouted in panic, "I was just joking!"
"Then I congratulate you, your joke has gone too far!"
As Jin Xuan's words fell, thousands of Endless War Puppets swarmed forward, quickly reducing the territory before them to ruins.
And the lord was also killed with a scream.
This was the nineteenth territorial force Jin Xuan had destroyed today!
The Immortal Demon Kingdom's army advanced at an extremely rapid pace. Coupled with her Endless War Puppet Legion, they could only continuously conquer territorial forces.
She dared not slacken in the slightest, because if her speed slowed down, she would be left behind by the Immortal Demon Kingdom's army and get nothing.
Under such circumstances, she could only fight desperately.
Just then.
She received a war directive from Xian Qing'er, ordering her to lead the Endless War Puppet Legion to a location one hundred kilometers to the north to rendezvous with the Immortal Demon Kingdom's army.
"Endless War Puppet Legion, move out!"
Upon receiving the order, Jin Xuan, ignoring the piles of supplies on the battlefield, led thousands of Endless War Puppets and quickly disappeared into the deeper parts of the Dark Forest.
These supplies would be collected by the kingdom's logistics army that followed behind.
As for her Endless War Puppet Legion and other combat legions of the kingdom, they were only responsible for conquering enemy forces.
When the spoils of war were tallied, as a participant in the war, she would naturally receive a portion of the resource rewards.
