Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up

Chapter 657 - 560: Campaign

"I think many people are wondering why there’s a need for mass slaughter this time. It’s simple, the New World is a home for everyone and the beginning of the New Cosmos. If this beginning is evil, I will personally destroy it!"

"Clap! Clap!"

Zhao Yi didn’t say much, but he went straight to the core. After everyone listened, their blood boiled, and applause thundered, with people continuously cheering.

After the killing was over, Linglong found Zhao Yi to plead guilty. She didn’t say anything, just knelt there with her head down.

With events occurring one after another, she, as the person in charge, bears an irrefutable responsibility. At this moment, any words would seem hypocritical!

"From today, your rank will be lowered by three levels, and your salary for the next year will be stopped. However, the daily affairs of the New World will still be managed by you. Do you have anything to say?"

"Despite everything, I believe this is due to my lack of ability. I hope the king can replace me with someone else!"

"Are you questioning my judgment?"

"I wouldn’t dare. I just don’t know how to continue!" Linglong said, her eyes slightly moist. She had been working desperately hard, yet things still went wrong. An infinite grievance erupted in her heart at this moment.

"About these recent days, there are two reasons. On one hand, the New World was just established and lacks talent. On the other hand, you handle everything meticulously, so trivial matters have consumed much of your energy, leaving you unable to thoroughly consider major directions and critical decisions."

While talking, Zhao Yi helped Linglong up.

"During the killings today, I found those enrolled academy students quite satisfactory. You can establish a secretariat and let them run errands and draft some documents to ease your workload. Remember, the ruler must focus on strategy!"

"I hope the king can attend to state affairs personally to stabilize people’s hearts!"

"I cannot!"

Zhao Yi refused decisively, leaving Linglong somewhat surprised.

"If I take over now, your prestige will be completely gone. Secondly, I need to go and conquer the Power Realm!"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Zhao Yi’s eyes!

It was the first time he encountered such a merciless Law Realm. To him, such a world must be annihilated!

"Return to the Capital City immediately and assemble an army of one hundred thousand, as quickly as possible!"

"Yes!"

After sending Linglong away and handling proper matters, Zhao Yi became gentle, leaving the army camp to find a little boy and an old man.

"How have you been lately?"

"Greetings, King." Seeing Zhao Yi coming, the old man and the little boy rushed to pay their respects, but Zhao Yi stopped them.

"That’s just an intimidating title. I came to invite you. I’m returning to the Capital City in a few days. How about joining me?"

Zhao Yi asked the little boy with a smile, thinking this invitation had no problems, yet unexpectedly, both shook their heads.

"Thank you for your invitation. We are just ordinary people, not cultivators. Following you will only cause trouble."

After the old man finished speaking, the little boy said,

"I have become family with Grandpa and plan to settle in Xin’an Province."

"You don’t want to be a cultivator?"

"No, my dream is to do business, earn a lot of money, and become a great tycoon in the New World!"

Zhao Yi understood that the boy’s thinking was due to being frightened by poverty. He didn’t insist, leaving some money and agreeing to meet again in the future.

Looking at this friend whose name he didn’t even know, an inexplicable sense of loss crept into Zhao Yi’s heart.

"Master, don’t be sad. You’ll meet again in the future!"

"I know, let’s not mention it!"

Zhao Yi tucked away his feelings and returned to the Capital City.

The army of one hundred thousand was fully assembled, and Zhao Yi’s heart surged with pride as he watched his high-spirited subordinates.

"This time, the only goal of the expedition to the Power World is complete annihilation! Depart!"

The vast army, led by Zhao Yi, set out mightily from the Capital City, heading to the Power Law Realm!

Power Law Realm!

Headquarters of the Kangchuan Clan!

A towering tree stood at the center of the headquarters, emanating an unapproachable and powerful aura.

Many young people patrolled around the tree. A young man noticed a withered branch.

He broke the branch lightly, dashed into the hall, and handed it to a middle-aged man. After receiving the branch, the man went to the sixtieth floor of the headquarters building.

"Clan leader, the Kang Fenyang side of the New World has been eradicated!"

The man spoke and handed the branch to the clan leader.

Sitting on the chair was the highest leader of the Kangchuan Clan.

Kang Qingchuan, the spokesperson for the Law of Power in the Power Realm.

He gently stroked the branch, sensing the information it conveyed.

"How long did they stay in the New World altogether? How much power was returned?"

"The stay wasn’t very long, just a few months, and the power returned is only one-tenth of what was previously expected.

I think Zhao Yi discovered it, which led to such an end."

The room sank into silence.

At this time, a man in his forties broke into the office again, looking slightly anxious with an expression of hesitation.

"As the saying goes, fortune does not come in pairs, misfortune does not come alone. If there’s more bad news, just say it.

I am not so fragile; there are some things I can withstand."

"We just received intelligence that an army is heading our way, still three days away. It’s unclear who exactly they are."

The man’s gaze finally fell on that segment of the withered branch.

He handed the branch to him, his expression faint, and said,

"This is the family clan from the New World, now annihilated. If my guess is correct, that army should be Zhao Yi’s.

I did not expect this young man to have the courage to challenge us."

"If it truly is him, we must prepare beforehand. Many Law Realms have already been devoured by him.

Even the Divine Tree is unable to deal with him at the moment."

After hearing the suggestion from his subordinate,

Zhao Yi said no more, just waved them away.

Minutes later, he made a decision.

Immediately convene a family meeting, requiring the heads of other families to attend as well.

Half an hour later.

The meeting room on the sixty-fifth floor.

Nearly two hundred important figures from the Kangchuan Clan and other family leaders were all present.

Expressions grave, they waited for Kang Qingchuan to appear.

Everyone knew well that convening such an expanded meeting must mean something extremely serious had occurred.

Once Kang Qingchuan came in, the crowd rose to their feet.

"No need to go around in circles. The Kangchen Clan of the New World is destroyed. Zhao Yi is leading his army over.

After this meeting, immediately organize your army. We must form an allied force to annihilate Zhao Yi in the Cosmos, and absolutely not let him approach our world."

The meeting lasted only a minute.

We did not raise any questions.

For thousands of years, Kang Qingchuan has never once made a wrong decision.

They believe this decision will be as correct as those in the past.

Nonetheless, a feeling of heaviness settled in everyone’s hearts.

They had never met Zhao Yi, but they knew who Zhao Yi was.
