Zhou Yan looked at the opponent's corpse and said, "He was still a monarch and did not beg for mercy."
Zhou Yan extended a finger, a stream of fire emerged, and with a gentle flick, Gerwin Neil's corpse was incinerated.
With the death of the Emperor of the Netherworld Dynasty and the fall of the entire imperial palace to Zhou Yan, the Netherworld Dynasty also perished.
Zhou Yan arrived at the treasury of the Netherworld Dynasty's imperial court, but after seeing what was inside, he was stunned.
There was too little here.
The Netherworld Dynasty had long been hollowed out by a group of parasites. Zhou Yan then ordered his soldiers to raid the homes of the ministers of the Netherworld Dynasty.
As expected, the wealth in these people's homes was more than ten times that in the palace.
Zhou Yan spent the following period in the Netherworld Dynasty.
In September, school began.
In Zhou Yan's third year at the Ziwei Academy, he and Ye Bufan and others were promoted to inner disciples.
Zhou Yan studied in the academy in the morning and spent his afternoons in his territory.
The Netherworld planet was vast, and it would take Zhou Yan a long time to plunder all its wealth, but he had the time.
Zhou Yan's strength continued to improve, and he spent a lot of time cultivating every day.
Every month, he would trade with countless merchants on the Canglan Continent, each transaction involving a large sum of spirit coins.
The number of max-level buildings in Zhou Yan's territory grew, and the number of strong individuals increased day by day.
Sometimes, Zhou Yan would participate in various trade fairs, challenge opponents in the arena, or often enter [Cultivation Secret Realms] with the women in his territory to cultivate.
He would also lead people out of the [Cinema].
The buildings in Zhou Yan's territory increased daily, and his strength improved a little each day.
The Mid-Autumn Festival event arrived again, and Zhou Yan successfully took first place, receiving many rewards.
Five months later, it was the New Year on the Canglan Continent, and the entire territory welcomed the new year.
In March of the following year, Zhou Yan successfully conquered the remaining territories of the Netherworld Dynasty and plundered all the wealth of the entire Netherworld planet.
After the plunder, Zhou Yan led all his subordinates away from the Netherworld Realm. As for the future of this planet, it had nothing to do with Zhou Yan.
With the matters of the Netherworld Dynasty resolved, Zhou Yan finally had time to deal with the enemies on the list provided by Wu Qingfeng.
The forces on the list were all independent entities, not countries. Zhou Yan carefully reviewed them and began to eliminate them one by one, starting with the first.
Zhou Yan did not need to transport his territory to these places, as these forces were not worth such an effort.
Zhou Yan looked at the first force, a territory called the Nine Heavens Continent, named the Profound Yin Sect.
The Profound Yin Sect was a major power, having produced several divine-realm powerhouses. The sect did not have lords but was composed entirely of cultivators. However, they cooperated with other lords.
They exchanged a large amount of cultivation techniques and secret manuals with other lords for their cultivation, and their influence was quite significant.
Because many countries obeyed their command, these countries paid countless tribute to the Profound Yin Sect every year, making them the undisputed number one sect.
There were countless other sects like the Profound Yin Sect on the Nine Heavens Continent, and they controlled the entire Nine Heavens Continent, being its masters.
After Zhou Yan briefly reviewed the information, he instructed Shang Yang to manage the territory's teleportation. Shang Yang was to teleport wherever materials needed to be mined.
Zhou Yan, on the other hand, began to teleport towards the Nine Heavens Continent.
Zhou Yan was now very proficient at drawing formations, taking only a few seconds to create an interstellar teleportation array. He stepped into it and traversed the entire teleportation channel.
A few minutes later, Zhou Yan successfully arrived at the Nine Heavens Continent.
This was a world of cultivation, a world of immortal cultivators. To ordinary people, cultivators held supreme status.
The strongest individuals in this world had reached the peak of the demigod realm.
Zhou Yan decided to first inquire about the specific location of the Profound Yin Sect. He flew towards a mountain forest and suddenly saw a group of people being chased by a pack of demonic beasts.
Zhou Yan flew towards them and saw a demonic beast pounce on a man dressed in opulent robes.
Zhou Yan descended and struck the demonic beast with a palm, sending it flying. The beast crashed into a tree with a bang.
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
The surrounding guards quickly rushed forward to help the man in robes.
Upon seeing Zhou Yan, the man in robes immediately stood up and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you for saving me. Who might you be?"
"I am merely a traveler passing by; you need not mind me," Zhou Yan replied simply.
The man in robes noticed Zhou Yan's extraordinary aura and felt that this person was undoubtedly a powerful expert, capable of easily defeating a formidable demonic beast.
"Roar!"
At this moment, the surrounding demonic beasts regrouped. The guards quickly said to the man, "Your Highness, you go first, we will cover your retreat."
"How can I abandon you? We leave together," the man declared resolutely, refusing to leave.
Then, the man cupped his hands towards Zhou Yan and asked, "Are you an immortal cultivator?"
"You could say so," Zhou Yan replied.
"I request you to save us from here. Whatever the reward, I will provide it with both hands," the man said.
"Do you know where the Profound Yin Sect is?" Zhou Yan asked.
"The Profound Yin Sect? Are you from the Profound Yin Sect?" the man asked curiously.
"I am not from the Profound Yin Sect. I am simply going to cause trouble there," Zhou Yan replied.
"You have an enmity with the Profound Yin Sect?" the man asked, greatly surprised.
"Someone hired me to destroy them, and I accepted," Zhou Yan replied.
"What? Hired you to destroy the Profound Yin Sect? How is that possible? You are alone?" The man was speechless. What kind of place was the Profound Yin Sect that could be destroyed so easily?
"Why do you ask so many questions? Just take me to the Profound Yin Sect," Zhou Yan said.
"Of course, I know the way. If you are willing to help, I will surely take you to the Profound Yin Sect," the man replied.
"What are these few minor demonic beasts?" Zhou Yan waved his hand casually, and a terrifying spiritual energy formed a destructive storm. The terrifying storm then reduced all the forest within a kilometer radius to ashes.
The people around watched this scene with wide eyes, utterly incredulous.
"This, this, this..." The man in robes could hardly believe his eyes. This was merely a fluctuation caused by the other party's casual wave!
"Alas, my strength has increased too much recently, and I haven't controlled it well," Zhou Yan sighed.
The man in robes: щ(ﾟДﾟщ)
