Chapter 794: Alliance's New King

"We surrender!!" Immediately afterward, warriors from one City Law Enforcement Hall after another laid down their arms. Trapped in the center of Youming Grand Town, the more than 30,000 Alliance army warriors in total no longer maintained a stance of standing resistance. All prostrated themselves on the ground, bowing and pledging allegiance to Xu Yang in the sky.

"Very good. Given your performance, I will not only revoke the order to kill you but also escort you safely back. Three days from now, I will personally lead the Sacred Flame Divine Sect headquarters to Anping Commandery City, and as the new generation leader of the Alliance, I will issue a unified summons to all ongoing operations within the entire Alliance! As for those Law Enforcement Hall warriors among you who wish to join the Sacred Flame Divine Sect, you will have the opportunity for subsequent membership assessments. Those who meet the criteria will have the chance to serve the Sacred Flame Divine Sect."

"Long live the Sect Master! The Sect Master is brilliant!" Mighty shouts echoed throughout every corner of the jungle battlefield. Undoubtedly, Xu Yang had once again become the biggest winner, leading the Sacred Flame Divine Sect to victory in this classic, seemingly impossible battle.

After this battle concluded, the more than 30,000 Law Enforcement Hall soldiers departed. Xu Yang also led the Sacred Flame Divine Sect warriors back to Changle Commandery first.

Inside Yun Manor, Cobalt knelt before Xu Yang and the others, respectfully drawing out the entire Anping defense formation map and handing it to Xu Yang. Xu Yang merely glanced at it casually before handing the map to Old Man Tan. Then, he stared at Cobalt with interest. "Don't think I don't know what you're planning. The moment I let you go back, you'll immediately take Anping Commandery's Alliance seal, go to the Upper Realm to seek help from other alliances, and use Third Master as a pretext to gather higher-level resources to attack us."

Xu Yang's gaze was incredibly cold and sharp. At this moment, Cobalt didn't even have the courage to meet his eyes. Since Cobalt had already decided to grovel, he had to fully commit to this lowliness; otherwise, he would have no hope of escape except death.

"Sect Master, please see clearly! I sincerely and truly surrender to your feet. Even if I were to be the Sect Master's dog, I would be willing! I truly wouldn't dare to have any ulterior motives!" Xu Yang, who had long seen through his thoughts, merely smiled, shook his head, and took a sip of tea.

"When you mercilessly eliminated those partners who trusted you on the battlefield, you sealed your fate to never have any connection with our team in this lifetime. And our Sacred Flame Divine Sect has no shortage of worthless dogs like you. The reason I brought you back and said all this to you is to make you abandon any thought of a desperate comeback early on. You will never have a chance to turn the tables in this life. As long as you cling to life in this world, you will forever live in indignity and humiliation. And this is how I take revenge for the eight Commandery Law Enforcement Hall Chiefs."

After Xu Yang finished speaking, he gave a look to Yue Wu beside him. The Northern Heavenly King understood immediately, grasping Xu Yang's intentions, and promptly dragged the good-for-nothing, who was fantasizing about biding his time for revenge, out of the hall. As for what methods Yue Wu would use to torment and punish this captive, that remained unknown.

"Hahaha, how exhilarating!" someone exclaimed. "Sect Master, this battle was truly satisfying for us. Not only did we minimize our combat losses, but we also gained tens of thousands of followers for free. I believe even if those Law Enforcement Hall members return to their respective commanderies, they will widely publicize our strength. It seems our further takeover as Alliance leader is now a certainty."

Xu Yang nodded in satisfaction. "Speaking of which, if that good-for-nothing hadn't groveled and tried to curry favor with us, ultimately backfiring, it would have been difficult for us to so easily win over the hearts of the warriors from those eight major commanderies simultaneously. I've seen too many people like him who think that by abandoning their dignity without limits, they can achieve a future rise. The laughable truth is, not everyone gets the chance to bide their time for revenge. Those who dare to oppose me, Ah Yang, once they fail, will never be able to turn the tables."

Third Master, sitting nearby, also couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Now with your help, Ah Yang, I believe it won't be long before I, Third Master, can retire early and enjoy a peaceful life."

Xu Yang smiled and shook his head. "I told you, I will personally bring you back to the Yingzhou Imperial Family, and make all the brothers present here nobles above ten thousand people! Old Man Tan, take the brothers and prepare. Three days from now, the entire force of the Sacred Flame Divine Sect will march with me to Anping! With this formation map, even the die-hards in Anping Commandery won't stand a chance."

"Understood!" Everything proceeded in an orderly manner, guided and controlled by Xu Yang.

Just one day later, news of Anping Commandery's leader leading the eight major Alliance armies in a failed attack on Changle Commandery spread throughout the entire Alliance. The news that the ambitious Cobalt had become a stepping stone naturally became the biggest headline across the Alliance.

Immediately, tens of thousands of Law Enforcement Hall warriors throughout Anping Commandery were in a state of panic and also filled with extreme anger. After all, Anping Commandery had suffered the heaviest losses in this battle. In just one day, the once high-and-mighty commandery, home to the Alliance leader, had become a laughingstock for all.

Three days later, Xu Yang led the entire Sacred Flame Divine Sect army to besiege Anping. Following the secret passage provided by that worthless dog Cobalt, the Sacred Flame Divine Sect warriors successfully passed through with minimal casualties and directly captured Anping Commandery's city. Inside the city, over five thousand die-hard Law Enforcement Hall members were killed by Xu Yang's team, while the remaining three thousand-plus finally chose to surrender.

After this siege battle concluded, all the governors from the twenty-three commanderies across the entire Alliance came to Anping Commandery and presented their respective commandery seals to Yun San.

"Greetings, esteemed Alliance Leader!" The more than twenty commandery governors in the hall all knelt on one knee, paying homage to Yun San as if he were a king. This included the newly appointed Anping Commandery Governor, Lang Xian.

"There's no need to be so formal," Yun San said. "Since you have appointed me as the Alliance Leader, the first thing I will do is reorganize our Anping Alliance. From today, the Anping Alliance will officially be renamed the Sacred Flame Alliance. Anping Commandery will be the headquarters of the Sacred Flame Alliance. Ah Yang, the Sect Master of the Sacred Flame Divine Sect, will be the Grand General of the Alliance. His status will be second only to mine, above everyone else in the Alliance, and he will have the right to mobilize all resources from any commandery in the Alliance at any time."

"Greetings, Grand General!" After hearing Yun San's words, the governors all bowed in homage to Xu Yang, who was standing nearby. Xu Yang, naturally indifferent to such earthly formalities, subtly waved his hand, and everyone stood upright on their own. This single, understated gesture deeply awed the governors with Xu Yang's power.
