Shang Xingyan pondered, "About seventy percent, perhaps?"

I couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "We went through all this trouble, and only eliminated seventy percent of them?"

Shang Xingyan said, "The Reincarnation Division's infiltration into the Underworld's civil officials has been cleared out by the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"Wang Hun is handling the people in the human world's bureaucracy. It won't be long before they're taken down as well."

"The Huangquan smugglers have also been mostly wiped out in this battle."

"The problem is, the Reincarnation Division handed over the last thirty percent of their forces to General Jiang Chen, who took them to the Land of Returning Souls of Emperors. That thirty percent is the elite of the elite of the Reincarnation Division. They are also their biggest trump card."

"Conservatively estimated, there should be around five hundred people."

"So many people!" My shock was mixed with worry.

Although I didn't see the entire process of the Reincarnation Division's battle against Zero and the Hidden Sky Guard, I could tell that the Reincarnation Division's forces were superior.

If the Embroidered Uniform Guard hadn't joined in time to stabilize the situation,

the two major guards would have had to pay a price of at least three for one to wipe out the Reincarnation Division.

Five hundred extraordinary elites, plus the zombie General Jiang Chen... can Old Liu handle it?

Shang Xingyan said again, "Just now, the Official Lord's palm strike severely injured Zhu Zining, but failed to kill her."

"I think Zhu Zining should have already rushed to the Land of Returning Souls to join forces with General Jiang Chen. I'm afraid this will be another tough battle."

While Shang Xingyan was speaking, an Embroidered Uniform Guard stepped forward and said, "Lord Shang, all the Huangquan smugglers have been captured. Please instruct us on how to deal with them."

Shang Xingyan said, "Bring them all over here. Let the Young Lord decide."

Before long, the Embroidered Uniform Guard brought the hundreds of captured Huangquan smugglers to the open ground in front of me.

Before I could say anything, one of them stepped out and said, "Little Li Po, how about we make a deal?"

Zhu Zining?

The voice speaking was Zhu Zining's, but the person was not Zhu Zining's real body.

Zhu Zining must have taken control of one of them while escaping.

Zhu Zining said, "You release my people, and I won't kill your people."

"I think you should be able to figure out this deal, right? Several hundred ghosts in exchange for all the elites of your Two Realms Hall. You won't lose out."

"In other words: I'm willing to sacrifice these hundreds of subordinates. Are you willing to sacrifice Feng Ruoxing, Butcher Wang, and those sisters?"

"What do you say? Think it over!"

The Embroidered Uniform Guard next to Shang Xingyan said anxiously, "Young Lord, you can't..."

"Shut up!" Shang Xingyan scolded. "The Young Lord will decide everything."

Shang Xingyan was protecting my authority.

Zero and Hidden Sky, who had also arrived, didn't say anything either.

I subconsciously looked at Ye Yang, but that guy just nodded at me.

Later, Ye Yang told me: No matter how we mess around in the Two Realms Hall, you are the master of the hall when we're outside. We can only offer suggestions to you, but we can't make decisions for you.

I hesitated for a moment and said, "Zhu Zining, I won't make this deal with you. However, I can do another business with you."

"Come out and surrender now, and I guarantee you'll have a chance to be reincarnated."

Zhu Zining laughed loudly, "Li Po, you're too naive, and you overestimate your own importance."

"What crime have I, Zhu Zining, committed?"

"When I get to the Underworld, being able to go to the Ghost Slaughtering Platform and have my soul scattered with one slash is the greatest gift the Underworld can give me."

"According to my crimes, I should suffer in the eighteen levels of hell for at least a thousand years. You're guaranteeing me reincarnation? Do you have that kind of ability?"

Zhu Zining sneered, "That's right! You only said you'd guarantee my reincarnation, but you didn't say when I'd be reincarnated, or what I'd be reincarnated as."

"If I'm reincarnated as a beast after a thousand years, that's still called reincarnation."

"You should keep your little tricks to yourself!"

"I'm just asking you, are you releasing the people or not?"

"If you don't release my subordinates, I guarantee that the heads of Feng Ruoxing, Butcher Wang, and the others will be placed in front of you one by one."

I didn't even look at Zhu Zining. "Embroidered Uniform Guard, prepare to execute these prisoners on the spot."

The Embroidered Uniform Guard who had stopped me earlier was the first to be stunned, "Young Lord..."

I turned around and shouted sternly, "Didn't you understand?"

"This subordinate obeys!" That person waved his hand and said, "Prepare for execution!"

The Embroidered Uniform Guard escorting the prisoners immediately split into four rows, two people per group. One person pressed the prisoner to their knees, while the other drew his sword, pointed the blade at the ground, and stood next to the prisoner.

Zhu Zining shouted sharply, "Li Po, how dare you?"

"Raise your blades!" At my command, the Embroidered Uniform Guard's steel blades rose sharply. As a stream of cold blue light shimmered on the blades, the killing intent on the Embroidered Uniform Guard erupted.

Zhu Zining chuckled and said, "Li Po, I don't believe you don't want Feng Ruoxing and the others' lives. You can still state your conditions. However, if one of my people dies, I guarantee the Two Realms Hall will pay a bloody price."

I stared at the blood-stained hillside in the distance and said, "The blood of the Two Realms Hall has already stained the distant mountains and the nearby land red. This blood cannot be shed in vain. If I don't eradicate the Reincarnation Division, I'll be letting down the heroic spirits who haven't gone far."

"Hahaha..." Zhu Zining laughed loudly, "So the so-called righteous and loyal Two Realms Hall is all an act? Our Wolf King, in order to buy people's hearts, doesn't even want his old friends who went through life and death with him?"

"That's right, that's what you call a warlord's heart!"
