Chapter 2159 - 2163: Demon Clan, The Situation Is Settled!

Every word, every condition was like a shell, directly hitting Zhu Bowen's heart.

He originally worried that his high prestige in the Demon Clan army, combined with his previous relentless efforts against the West State army, would result in Qin Tian, reigning over the Demon Clan, conducting a reckoning against him.

But unexpectedly, Qin Tian not only did not proceed with a reckoning but instead offered such enticing conditions, leaving him momentarily at a loss.

The conditions were so generous that they almost moved Zhu Bowen to tears.

Qin Tian observed Zhu Bowen's subtle changes in expression and said, "General Zhu, I've been straightforward about the guarantees and conditions I can offer. I believe you've made a judgment in your heart; you're a straightforward person. Could you give me a firm, straightforward answer?"

"I, Qin Tian, have always trusted those I employ and never employ those I distrust. If you agree to serve the Demon Clan, I will trust you wholeheartedly. Except for leaving behind forces to help stabilize the Demon Clan's situation, I will, within a month, lead my senior generals to leave the Demon Clan and return to West Capital."

"Of course, if you do not agree to come forward, I will not force you. Moreover, I can assure you that I won't give you any trouble in the future, nor will I harass you again. You can rest and recuperate peacefully."

Qin Tian's words were full of implications, a blend of carrot and stick.

After he finished speaking, seeing Zhu Bowen's expression, he felt confident.

Sure enough, the excited Zhu Bowen immediately got up, knelt before Qin Tian, and exclaimed, "King Qin, what virtues or abilities do I possess to warrant King Qin's visit to this humble abode? Since King Qin shows such sincerity, I am deeply grateful and willing to serve the Mu Family, willing to dedicate all my efforts to the Demon Clan, doing everything to the best of my ability until my dying breath!"

Zhu Bowen was very excited, which Qin Tian could see as well, as he expressed loyalty to Mu Yunxi and the Demon Clan, without mentioning Qin Tian.

However, Qin Tian had expected this, knowing it would take time for Zhu Bowen to change his mindset; at least now he had agreed to step forward and serve him.

"Good, General Zhu, please rise. I hope that under the leadership of the Mu Family and General Zhu, the Demon Clan will be able to revive its glory and shock the Spiritual Domain!"

Immediately, Qin Tian invited Zhu Bowen to the Demon Capital City Palace to discuss the governance of the Demon Clan.

After discussions, Qin Tian decided to have Mu Yunxi ascend the throne to become the Demon Clan Queen.

Zhu Bowen was appointed as the Demon Clan's State Preceptor and Great General.

The matters of deposing and establishing within the Demon Clan were all handled solely by Zhu Bowen, assisted by other Demon Clan ministers.

Of course, to prevent the court from losing control, at Qin Tian's suggestion, Mu Yunxi arranged for several officials from the original Demon Cloud City to enter the court as her confidants.

Qin Tian did not intervene in the affairs of the Demon Clan, quietly watching Zhu Bowen announce Mu Yunxi's ascension to Queen, allowing the Demon Clan court to recover once more.

After the Demon Clan stabilized, Qin Tian was ready to leave the Demon Clan.

At this time, the Imperial Capital army of the Fourth Prince had begun attacking Yueya City, while Yan Ruolan and Liu Fei'er had already left after Mu Yunxi's ascension.

After some hesitation, Qin Tian appointed Jian Tianhao, the Deputy Commander of the Qin Family army, to lead a force of 100,000 soldiers to station at Demon Capital City for Mu Yunxi's use, thereby stabilizing the Demon Clan.

Meanwhile, he left five hundred Qin Family guards to protect Mu Yunxi, then bid farewell to her and hurried toward West Capital City with Zhou Yang and others.

Of the fourteen thousand soldiers, ten thousand were left behind; previously Xu Kuan had returned, taking away four thousand, so this time as Qin Tian and Zhou Yang hurried back to West Capital City, only a little over a thousand Qin Family soldiers followed.

All along the way, everyone's marching speed was fast, as the situation in Yueya City was unclear, and there was a great possibility that the Fourth Prince would unexpectedly seize Yueya City.

Boom!

On this day, torrential rain poured from the sky.

The group could only find a valley to take shelter from the rain under the trees.

Boom!

Boom!

This place was beyond the Demon God River, just entering the barren mountains of West State territory.

"Boss, this time, we've dealt with the Demon King and the Jin family father and son. Although Jin Lin, the main culprit, escaped, we've stabilized the situation. Next, upon returning to West Capital City, should we officially declare war on the Fourth Prince?"

Under the rain in the cave, Zhou Yang asked Qin Tian.

"It's about time. Now, the Demon Clan, Barbarian Clan, and Demon Clan can be used by me. Our rear is stable, and it's time to challenge the Imperial Capital."

Before Qin Tian's voice fell, Xiao Zhuang aside chuckled and said, "Indeed, the Demon Clan, Barbarian Clan, and Demon Clan, the three royal families, are now all my sister-in-law. Hehe... If anyone dares to harbor malicious thoughts against us, isn't that courting death?"

Lin Yu heard this, chuckled, and gave Qin Tian a thumbs up: "Boss, I'm truly impressed by you, able to recover the three clan territories and take in the three clan queens. Hehe, good insight! I never imagined that one day we'd mingle into our current status."

Qin Tian also smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect it either, but the path is walked one step at a time. The wheel of history rolls forward, and we must be the trailblazers of history."

Boom!

In the thunderstorm, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and the sky even turned purple.

Qin Tian was recalling past events in Dragon Soul with his brothers, the obscurity and embarrassment when they initially arrived at the Spiritual Domain. At this time, his brows suddenly furrowed, sensing killing intent closing in!

"There's killing intent! Have the brothers ready for battle!"

Sensing a slight killing intent, Qin Tian immediately stood up and instructed the Qin Family army to prepare for the enemy.

"Boss, killing intent? I didn't sense anything..."

Lin Yu, Xiao Zhuang, and others carefully sensed but couldn't detect the location of the killing intent.

Qin Tian's cultivation was higher than theirs, so the killing intent was quite apparent; therefore, he could ascertain that there were certainly enemies approaching.

Sure enough, within less than a minute, Lin Yu and others also sensed the killing intent drawing near!

Qin Tian expanded his divine sense and could clearly feel that there were large troops drawing near to them!

Not approaching but besieging!

These individuals moved quickly with minimal sound, and even in the heavy rain, they were as quiet as dragonflies touching the water, their sounds subtle, hardly detectable from a hundred meters away unless one was a top expert.

"Hmm, it seems these folks are coming for us, and they're all masters."

Qin Tian stood up, his expression serious.

Zhou Yang was also puzzled: "Strange, now we're on West State territory, and someone still dares to attack us? Are they really tired of living?"

At this time, those assassins were getting closer, and everyone sensed that the enemies numbered at least over two thousand!

Moreover, the cultivation and combat power of these individuals likely weren't much lower than the soldiers of the Qin Family army!

In an instant, Qin Tian, Zhou Yang, Xiao Zhuang, Lin Yu, and Duan Xiaodao looked at each other, each carrying the same doubt in their hearts:

Just who was attacking them?
