Chapter 5389 of the Dragon King’s Order: Will Not Surrender
Above the Divine Capital, dark clouds gathered. Black rain mixed with demonic energy hit the walls, making a crackling sound.
Liu Kun leaned against the wall, staring at the black torrent sweeping in from a distance, his heart pounding.
It was an army of one hundred thousand demon souls. Wherever they passed, mountains and rivers collapsed, lives were scattered, and even the sky and earth were stained pitch black.
“Master, the demon soul army has arrived in the city!”
shouted a trusted advisor, pointing forward.
Suppressing his fear, Liu Kun turned to Xue Wuying behind him and said, “Elder Xue Wuying, I’ll have to trouble you to negotiate with the demon soul leader. If he surrenders to me, I’ll give him half of the Sixth Heaven!”
Xue Wuying sneered and didn’t answer—he didn’t believe Liu Kun’s boasting, just waiting to see how this ambitious man would embarrass himself.
A moment later, the army of one hundred thousand demon souls stopped at the gates of the Divine Capital.
The Soul Eater hovered in the air, its hundred-foot-high shadow covering the sky. The pressure of the Human Immortal Realm was like a mountain, forcing the soldiers of the Nation Guard Legion on the city walls to their knees, unable to even raise their heads.
“Ants, open the city gates and submit to me, and I will spare your lives!”
The Soul Eater’s voice was like thunder, shaking the city walls slightly.
Liu Kun took a deep breath, gathered his courage, and soared into the air. He bowed to the Soul Eater and said, “Lord Demon Soul, I am Liu Kun, Prime Minister of the Divine Kingdom. If you are willing to bring me your demon soul, I will share the power of the Sixth Heaven with you, and share our prosperity and wealth!”
A glimmer of mockery flashed in the Soul Eater’s empty eyes as he raised his hand and attacked.
Liu Kun had no time to react when he was hit by a powerful force, thrown back like a kite with a broken string, hitting the city wall hard, spurting blood and breaking several ribs.
“Submit to me? Don’t you realize who you are?”
The Soul Devourer’s voice was filled with disdain. “You’re just a quick-witted clown, and you deserve to negotiate with me?”
Liu Kun lay on the city wall, his entire body in pain, and his heart in turmoil—he had not expected the Soul Devourer’s power to be so terrifying, and he was unable to withstand even a single move from it.
Seeing this, Xue Wuying immediately floated into the air and bowed to the Soul Devourer, saying, “Junior Xue Wuying, Great Elder of the Evil Dao Hall, greets you, Your Highness! I am also a demonic cultivator, and we are of the same family. Liu Kun has been presumptuous and offended you, Your Highness. Please forgive me!” The Soul Devourer glanced at him.
Xue Wuying sensed his demonic aura. Sure enough, he didn’t attack him, but said coldly, “Since you’re a demonic cultivator, you’ll be my subordinate. As for this Divine Capital, open the gates and surrender, or behead everyone!”
Xue Wuying immediately replied, “Junior obey!”
He then turned and glared at Liu Kun, “Prime Minister Liu, why don’t you immediately order the gates to surrender? Are you going to leave the Divine Capital in ruins?”
Liu Kun struggled to his feet, staring at the demon army staring down at him, then at the trembling soldiers of the State Guard Legion on the city walls. Despair filled his heart.
He knew that resistance would lead to death.
“Hand over… deliver this order! Open the city gates and submit to the Demon Soul Lord!” Liu Kun’s voice trembled, filled with hatred, yet helpless.
“What? The Prime Minister wants us to surrender to the Devil Soul?”
“Absolutely not! We are soldiers of the Divine Kingdom. How could we submit to the devil?”
“Even if it means death, we will fight the Demon Soul!”
As soon as Liu Kun gave the order, the Guardian Legion soldiers on the city walls exploded in anger.
Most of them were natives of the Divine Kingdom, raised by the Divine Kingdom for generations. Moreover, they were Divine Clans, arrogant Divine Clans.
How could they surrender to the devil?
The Divine Kingdom’s status among the Divine Clans was already low. If they surrendered to the devil, the entire Divine Kingdom would be hated by the Divine Clan cultivators.
