Chapter 389: The Three Empires Belong to the Serpent Pavilion Ya Fei's Extraordinary Management!
Xiao Yi Xian descended swiftly, and the powerful cultivators of the Three Sects immediately bowed in greeting. They had no idea what had just transpired, but one thing was clear resistance was futile.
As she landed, Xiao Yi Xian cast a cold glance at the crowd and spoke in an indifferent tone:
"The war is over. From this moment forward, the Three Armies belong to Jia Ma Empire. The Gold Goose Sect and Mulan Valley… no longer exist."
A stunned silence filled the air.
Her words… were simply too shocking.
They had just witnessed this terrifying woman being embraced by Wu Tian…
But did that really mean she completely switched sides?
Just one hug, and she surrendered?
If they had known this earlier, maybe they would have tried hugging her too!
"Master…!"
Some Poison Sect elders, still in disbelief, cautiously spoke up.
"Silence," Xiao Yi Xian said coldly. "I am not asking for your opinions. This is an order. If anyone dares to resist… they will die."
Her chilling gray violet eyes swept across the crowd.
And in an instant
A cold shiver ran down the spines of every single person present.
"If anyone has an objection… step forward now."
Not a single soul dared to utter a word.
Even those standing behind the fortress walls, the soldiers and disciples of the Three Sects, all silently dropped their weapons.
Hai Bodong flapped his icy wings, melting the frost covering the walls and the mountains.
The chilling cold in the air vanished, replaced by an eerie silence.
Deep down, he smirked smugly to himself.
"I didn't even get to show off my full strength… and the battle is already over? Hah! Next time, I'll have to go all out from the start… so I can truly enjoy myself."
Floating above Black Mountain Fortress, standing atop a massive ice dragon, Hai Bodong exuded an aura of authority.
His gaze swept over the battlefield before he commanded:
"All Serpent Pavilion members listen to my orders. Healers and alchemists, tend to the wounded immediately. Regardless of which side they fought for, treat them all. If there are critically injured, bring them inside the fortress for further care."
"Yes, sir!"
With that order, the healers and alchemists from both Jia Ma Empire and the Three Empires began tending to the injured, working as one.
In the skies above, Wu Tian watched as an entire army surrendered at just one sentence from Xiao Yi Xian.
He let out a soft sigh.
Who could have ever imagined?
That the innocent young pharmacist who once scolded him as a shameless scoundrel…
Would one day become the ruler of the Cloud Mist Empire?
The change was so overwhelming, so powerful…
He couldn't help but feel moved.
A woman like this if he didn't love her, then he would truly be a heartless man.
And as Xiao Yi Xian had said…
Tonight, when she came to find him, he would make it up to her properly.
Down below, as Hai Bodong and the others watched the armies retreat, a dazed expression appeared on their faces.
It was…
Unbelievable.
Truly, following the right person made all the difference.
With just one appearance, Wu Tian won the war…
And his woman simply commanded the enemy forces to surrender.
A disaster that could have destroyed an entire empire…
Had disappeared like it was nothing.
The cheers of survivors erupted into the skies.
Meanwhile, the major families of Jia Ma Empire were ecstatic.
The Three Empires were now under Serpent Pavilion's rule…
Which meant their status and power would soar to unimaginable heights.
They would become legendary clans.
"With the Three Armies retreating… Ya Fei, I'll leave the aftermath to you. These kinds of matters give me a headache," Hai Bodong said, shaking his head.
Thinking about the political nightmare that came with merging four empires made him want to just leave everything to her.
He wanted to live a carefree life, enjoying his days in peace and comfort.
The Jia Ma military couldn't control all these newly acquired armies.
It would have to be Serpent Pavilion's responsibility.
Both the Gold Goose Sect and Mulan Valley would be restructured into branches of the Pavilion.
And for that, they needed Ya Fei.
She was the only one capable of handling such a monumental task.
So, naturally
Hai Bodong and Jia Xing Tian decided to sit back and watch.
Under Ya Fei's flawless management, everything proceeded smoothly.
The armies of the Three Empires retreated…
Accompanied by Serpent Pavilion's enforcers, who would keep them in check.
Neither the Gold Goose Sect nor Mulan Valley had leaders anymore.
And though they wouldn't dare rebel now…
It was better to be safe than sorry.
Meanwhile, Hai Bodong and Jia Xing Tian took a leisurely approach, enjoying the show.
Atop the Black Mountain Fortress, Queen Yao Ye stood gazing down at her empire.
A bitter smile appeared on her lips.
"A queen, huh?" she murmured. "What do I even have to be proud of?"
"In the eyes of true powerhouses, my throne is nothing more than something they could take at will."
"At least we're safe, sister," a soft voice chimed in from behind.
It was Princess Yao Yue.
She smiled gently and said, "The war is over."
Yao Ye smiled bitterly.
"Jia Ma Empire may have survived… but now, I finally see it clearly."
"We are too weak."
"We were so insignificant that we never even had the right to stand beside him."
"Ya Fei… she has incredible management skills. At first, I thought she was only capable of handling a single merchant family."
"But now, I realize how wrong I was."
"She effortlessly managed an entire division of the Serpent Pavilion. And now, she's handling the governance of four entire empires."
"Not a single rebellion has occurred. She is keeping everything in perfect order."
"Even Medusa must have changed her opinion of her by now. This level of skill is on par with the Serpent Pavilion's Black Corner Region division."
"Compared to her, what are we? What is my title of 'Queen' even worth?"
Yao Yue smiled.
"Sister… don't you think…"
"Being protected by him, and simply watching him from afar, is a kind of happiness in itself?"
Yao Ye froze.
Then, she slowly turned her gaze toward the clouds in the sky.
And…
A soft smile appeared on her lips.
