Before Qin Wuya could finish his words, he saw Qin Hao grinning at him.
Qin Hao snapped his fingers crisply behind him, and a dark golden puppet slowly emerged from behind him.
With every step the puppet took, the space beneath its feet rippled with a series of fine spatial ripples.
A deep and vast aura, like a dormant volcano suddenly erupting, spread outward in all directions from the puppet.
Qin Wuya sensed this aura, hesitated for a moment, then his face lit up with joy:
"Haha, that little brat, where did he get such a powerful puppet? Its strength is no less than mine!"
Qin Wuya and the other Qin family ancestors were already a match for the traitors of the Netherworld Temple from the Three Realms and Nine Heavens.
Now with the addition of a puppet comparable to Qin Wuya in combat power,
the tide of battle quickly turned.
"Damn!!! Where did this puppet come from? How does it have such power? Curse that Qin family—they were hiding a trump card like this!"
"Hold the line! Hold the line!!! If we lose here, the Qin family will go reinforce Liu Ruyan, and then Lord Strong Force will be in trouble!"
Qin Wuya wielded the Time-Severing Saber in one hand and the Nine Tribulations Sword in the other, sneering at the struggling Netherworld Temple forces:
"Hold the line? Can you really hold it?"
The battle continued for three more days.
As Qin Hao joined the fray with the puppet, the situation became one-sided.
In three days, the Netherworld Temple lost three Immortal Emperors and over twenty Immortal Kings.
Liu Ruyan remained locked in an indecisive battle with the Strong Force Shaper. Qin Hao estimated that the two could fight for ten years without determining a victor.
But thankfully, the traitors of the Netherworld Temple couldn't hold on any longer.
The Strong Force Shaper noticed this as well.
It had no desire to keep fighting Liu Ruyan. It wanted to break free and escape with the traitors as quickly as possible.
But Liu Ruyan wouldn't let it have its way.
"Hmph, you think you can save them from me? Wishful thinking!"
"Seal!!!"
Liu Ruyan pressed her hands together, and in an instant, the entire sky was locked down. Even the Strong Force Shaper itself would need considerable effort to escape.
The Strong Force Shaper glanced at the Netherworld Temple members and quickly made a decision.
If this dragged on, the Netherworld Temple would be defeated, and then the Qin family would join Liu Ruyan against him.
By then, not only would saving others be impossible—even escaping himself would be.
"Hmph, your strength has indeed exceeded my expectations. This battle is yours—but we will meet again soon."
"And when we do, it won't be so easy for you to win!"
As the words fell, a devastating explosion erupted from the Strong Force Shaper's center.
"Watch out!"
Liu Ruyan shouted, quickly casting a protective barrier over everyone.
"Boom—!!!!"
When the smoke cleared, the Strong Force Shaper was nowhere to be seen.
The Netherworld Temple members, lacking a powerhouse like Liu Ruyan, had all their low-level Immortal Kings wiped out by that single explosion.
Seeing this, even Qin Hao was stunned. Damn.
"We fought for over a month and barely killed a few of them, but that giant light bulb just killed more than we did with one move."
Liu Ruyan looked at the remaining Netherworld Temple members and sneered, "Now it's your turn!"
Hearing this, the Netherworld Temple survivors all knelt and begged for mercy, pleading with Liu Ruyan to spare their lives.
"Begging me for mercy? Most of you are cultivators from my era. You should know well how I earned the title 'Annihilator'!"
"Blood Refining Array—Rise!!!"
Liu Ruyan sealed all the Netherworld Temple members within a formation.
"Father, I've sealed them. This Blood Refining Array will refine them into pure energy. Use it well, and your strength will surely rise to a higher level."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wuya nodded approvingly, "Not bad, not bad. This is what I expect from my daughter-in-law—much more reliable than my worthless son."
When Qin Hao heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
"Even right in front of me, you badmouth me like this? What would you do if I weren't around?"
"System! Retrieve all my weapons!"
The Time-Severing Saber, the Nine Tribulations Sword, the Nine Revolutions Pagoda... all the treasures were immediately recalled into Qin Hao's system space.
"Hey! You little brat! Where are my two supreme Dao artifacts?"
Qin Hao rolled his eyes.
Your two supreme Dao artifacts?
Do you even have any shame?
Qin Wuya forced a smile and walked up to Qin Hao:
"Ahem, Xiao Hao, with so many people watching, save me a little face. I don't need both—just give me the Time-Severing Saber."
"That thing is really handy. I can slash at enemies and heal myself at the same time—perfect for me."
Qin Hao shook his head, "No obligation to give it."
Qin Wuya's face froze: "Brat, do you really think I won't put you in your place?"
Hearing this, Qin Hao quickly darted behind Liu Ruyan:
"Wife, he's bullying me!"
Qin Wuya's expression turned to stone on the spot.
Liu Ruyan looked at Qin Hao with doting eyes, then spoke gently:
"Alright, husband, just give one weapon to Father. There's still a tough battle ahead."
Hearing Liu Ruyan say that, Qin Wuya straightened his back a bit:
"Brat! Did you hear what my daughter-in-law said? Hand over the supreme Dao artifact!"
Liu Ruyan shook her head with a smile:
"Father, I may have said that, but the decision still lies with my husband."
Qin Wuya: "..."
Seeing Qin Wuya so deflated, Qin Hao finally retrieved the Nine Tribulations Sword and the Time-Severing Saber from his system space and tossed them to him.
"Fine, take them! Take them! I feel sorry for you, having to stew in your own grievances all alone, with no one to comfort you."
Qin Wuya caught the two supreme Dao artifacts and snorted coldly:
"Whose fault is that? You useless son! Back when you went to the Jade Pool, why couldn't you persuade your mother to come back?"
Qin Hao shrugged, "No obligation to persuade her for you."
Looking at Qin Hao's smug expression, Qin Wuya was furious inside, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Suddenly, Qin Wuya's eyes lit up. He turned to Liu Ruyan:
"Ruyan, you know, I really feel for you. My son is too much of a womanizer. In the past month, he's been fooling around with other women, you know."
"Alas, you're the woman who did the most for him. Why can't he spend more time with you? Always chasing after wildflowers out there. Even I, as his father, can't stand it."
Qin Hao's eyes went wide. Damn! Throwing me under the bus! Have you no shame?
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
