World-Ending Demon Emperor

Chapter 2125 - 1010: Sweeping Across the Realm! Old Acquaintances!

"Minister Hai Gang greets Your Majesty, long live, long live, long long live!"

"I, Haidei’er, greet my husband, long live, long long live!"

The two knelt in front, causing Lanling to be slightly taken aback, only recalling after quite a while.

Oh, there was such a person.

Hai Gang, after betraying the Yan Tribe’s vice-king family, seized a large island named Yingzhou Island, roughly as large as one or two provinces. During the struggle between Suo Lun and Zhi Li, he repeatedly switched sides, eventually choosing to pledge allegiance to Suo Lun.

And this enchanting woman Haidei’er before him was once Yan Mo’s wife. After Yan Mo was defeated, she poisoned Yan Mo and eventually became Suo Lun’s concubine, acting as his representative on Pirate Island.

Not only that, later when Lanling liquidated the royal treasury of Yin Zhou and established the United Bank, Pirate Island, Hai Gang, and even Haidei’er played very important roles, considered major figures within the Suo Lun Group.

But after Suo Lun was slain...

Hai Gang first sent troops to occupy Pirate Island, seized control of all East Sea trade in Rage Wave Kingdom, and further detained all Gold Coin belonging to Tianshui City and the Suo Lun Group’s maritime assets. Ultimately, he succeeded in using astronomical amounts of Gold Coin, maritime trade, and shares in the United Bank to ally with Fu Lingxi.

His final position was Duke of Rage Wave Kingdom, protector of Yingzhou, governor of East Sea trade, and vice-president of Rage Wave Kingdom Bank.

An absolute power player, not only that, his daughter Haidei’er changed her man for the third time, becoming the concubine of the new young master Fang Qingtu of Yin Zhou.

Of course, Suo Lun took her as a concubine as merely a gesture of alliance, never truly touching her, not even conducting the concubine ceremony.

Furthermore, during Turing Chen’s anti-Suo Lun movement, Hai Gang pursued de-Suo Lunization with fervor, rivaling Turing Chen in malicious vilification.

When the Dragon Temple built the Ten Thousand Great Mountains defense line, they also started constructing a navy, intending to defend the Human Kingdom’s East Sea. Hence, they carried out a comprehensive re-equipment for the maritime forces including Hai Gang, replacing all wooden sailboats with crystal stone ironclad ships. And Hai Gang became the deputy commander of the Rage Wave Kingdom fleet.

Just as Hai Gang was overjoyed and planning to undertake grand measures.

For inexplicable reasons, the Ten Thousand Great Mountains defense line collapsed.

Moreover, it collapsed without a fight, the main force of the Dragon Temple, tens of thousands strong, along with three floating fortresses, fled pell-mell.

Millions of Dragon Legion, millions of Human Race troops, and the Ten Thousand Great Mountains defense line built with the boundless national strength of Rage Wave Kingdom, Xiliang Kingdom, and Night Orchid Duchy, did not hold for even a day, it was directly obliterated.

In just two or three days, the entire Rage Wave Kingdom fell.

Originally, Hai Gang intended to wait and see, but Flame Demon Empire’s army surged like a tide, arresting all those associated with the Dragon Temple, so this father and daughter could no longer contain themselves and promptly came to pay homage.

Moreover, outside the palace, they directly revealed the identity of being Demon Emperor Suo Lun’s concubine, hence no one outside stopped them, allowing them to directly meet Lanling.

"Minister waits day and night for Your Majesty’s northern campaign, now that Your Majesty has reclaimed the entire Rage Wave Kingdom, this old servant dies without regret!" Hai Gang knelt on the ground, crying uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, Haidei’er seductively knelt on the ground, her alluring waist and hips even more enticing, hoarsely said, "I have seen Your Majesty countless times in dreams, now seeing once more, it is like rebirth."

Upon seeing the two, Lanling smiled, rising from the throne and said, "Come, you come."

Instantly, Hai Gang and his daughter rose, bending over to follow.

Lanling walked to a pool within the palace, the water inside was crystal clear and enchanting like jade.

"Go for a swim." Lanling said.

Hai Gang and his daughter looked at each other but dared not defy.

Lanling waved his hand.

Instantly, the pool water turned into a terrifyingly strong acid, with corrosiveness a hundred times greater than sulfuric acid.

Hai Gang and his daughter let out a miserable howl, desperately trying to escape to the shore.

And Haidei’er’s enchanting demeanor vanished, desperately screaming and wailing.

In less than half a minute, this father and daughter were corroded into white bones.

"What a pity, Yan Mo is away on a mission, didn’t see this scene." Lanling thought to himself.

...

"Are you Yi Manman?" Lanling incredulously said.

"I, greet Your Majesty." A scarred woman knelt before Lanling, making him completely unable to recognize.

Yi Manman, Suo Lun’s confidante in the brothel.

Whether the real Suo Lun or the impostor Suo Lun, both received much kindness from her, for the sake of the real and fake Suo Lun, Yi Manman nearly emptied her savings to assist, ultimately encountering catastrophic disaster.

"How did you get these scars?" Lanling asked.

"Acid pouring." Yi Manman said.

Splashed with strong acid, hence the complete disfigurement from head to toe.

"Who splashed it?" Lanling asked.

"Myself." Yi Manman said, "After Your Majesty was killed by Zhi Yan, all associated with Your Majesty were implicated, I was no exception and imprisoned. Though initially, they didn’t settle accounts with me, after all, I was just a brothel woman. Later, when Duke Zhi Ao rose to power, he granted us clemency as relatives of prisoners, letting us serve as maids in the palace. Subsequently, as Fang Qingshu returned, he and Duke Turing Chen frequently hosted gatherings, entertaining dignitaries from the Dragon Temple and the four major Mizhou territories. Each time, they would summon numerous beauties, then public orgies. As I was once Your Majesty’s confidante, naturally I was the prime choice for entertaining these dignitaries, plus I was still considered beautiful."

Lanling sneered coldly.

The women of the World-Ending Demon Emperor, could they not attract attention? Of course, the true Demon Emperor’s women were all imprisoned by the Dragon Temple, beyond reach. But Yi Manman, she was beneath Dragon Temple’s interest.

Yi Manman said: "Actually, my relationship with Your Majesty is entirely that of an admirer and the king, at most a civilian friend of His Majesty. But those disgusting people don’t care, probably wanting to put a green hat on the Demon Emperor. Once, when Fang Qingtu, the new master of Yinzhou, came to the Rage Wave Kingdom, Turing Chen intended to offer me to him and took me to their filthy gathering. I really didn’t want to go, so I poured strong acid on myself and disfigured myself. This way, I escaped the fate of being abused, but after Turing Chen healed me, he still threw me in prison, holding me until now, to vent the anger of Fang Qingtu."

Lanling slowly ordered: "Go see if the Turing Clan has anyone left. If yes, kill them again."

"Yes!" Gou Li said.

Lanling continued: "Exhume Turing Chen’s body and pulverize his bones."

"As you command." Gou Li said.

Then, she led a unit of Human Cavalry into the Turing Clan for another round of search and capture.

Yi Manman was stunned, touched her face, then reached into her chest, lifted her skirt, and inspected her body. This posture was really indecent, making Lanling unable to look directly.

"Manman, what do you want to do in the future?" Lanling asked. "As long as you say it, I can agree to it."

"Really?" Yi Manman said.

"Really." Lanling said.

Yi Manman thought for a while and said: "I don’t want to be the president of the art association anymore, it’s too hypocritical and superficial. I plan to be the chief leader of the brothel women in the Rage Wave Kingdom, in other words, manage all the brothel women in the country, not as a boss. But, be the biggest backing for all the brothel women, regularly check their health, prevent guests from abusing them, and setting prices to prevent brothels from excessively exploiting them."

Lanling frowned, this ambition was really unique.

"Well, alright then!" Lanling agreed reluctantly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." Yi Manman bowed down and said: "If Your Majesty is not bothered by my disfigured appearance just now and wants to favor me at any time, summon me."

"Uh, okay..." Lanling said awkwardly.

...

The next person Lanling pulled from prison was Yan Wuzhi.

This person was once the cousin of Prime Minister Yan Wujie, who joined Suo Lun in the Southeast Province and became the first civil servant under Suo Lun.

When Suo Lun was killed, he was also immediately purged, and was directly sentenced to be beheaded. Later, thanks to Zhi Ao’s protection, he wasn’t killed but remained imprisoned. Zhi Ao wanted him to come out, but was questioned by Turing Chen, asking Prince, are you going to flood the court with Suo Lun’s direct descendants?

And thus, it was left unresolved.

Lanling’s attitude towards Yan Wuzhi was not as good as towards Yi Manman.

"Things will be different in the future, if you can keep up, do so; if not, then retire at home." Lanling said.

Yan Wuzhi bowed: "I will study hard and strive not to be left behind by the times."

"Go find Gui Xingfu and Tuli Ming, the internal affairs of the Rage Wave Kingdom are managed by these two." Lanling said.

"As you command!"

...

Lanling didn’t appear as a compassionate ruler, but rather as a dominator and deity of his realm.

The so-called heavens with deep emotions would age, perhaps he is merciful to all humanity, wanting to protect, liberate, and develop it. But the specific attitude shown was very indifferent, not at all restrained in killing.

Therefore, in the Rage Wave Kingdom, heads rolled every day.

All nobles, vassals, etc., who had colluded with the Dragon Temple, all males over sixteen, or females deeply brainwashed by the Dragon Temple, were executed.

The entire Rage Wave Kingdom was awash in blood.

If before the battle past the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Demon Emperor Lanling’s evil and terror were only legendary, now it has become reality.

The entire Human Kingdom was enveloped in fear, unable to relax for even a day!

...

On this day, Zhi Ning and Yin Ji traveled north with their son.

Zhi Yu was conferred as the King of Rage Wave, with the original Rage Wave Kingdom as his fief. From beginning to end, Zhi Yu did not change his surname, considered as a comfort from Lanling to the spirits of the former king Zhi Bian, Duke Zhi Ting, Duke Zhi Ao.

Not only that, King Zibian was titled Prince of the Flame Dragon Empire, Zhi Ting was Prince of Rage Wave Country, King of the Flame Dragon Empire. Duke Zhi Ao was titled King of the Flame Dragon Empire, Prince of Rage Wave Country.

The several nobles, all entered the temples of the Zhi Family’s royal clan, to receive incense and admiration from the descendants.

Gui Xingfu was conferred Duke of Rage Wave Kingdom, appointed Prime Minister of Rage Wave Country, Yan Wuzhi as Deputy Prime Minister, Tuli Ming as Commander-in-chief’s Office Commander, the three ministers controlled the military and political power of Rage Wave Country.

Moreover, Rage Wave Kingdom abolished all vassal lords and implemented provincial and county system. Also, from the Flame Demon Empire, a large number of Near-Human Tribe officials were promoted to Rage Wave Country to implement reforms.

A few days later, Hell Knight Lan Tu led an army of thirty thousand to attack Night Orchid Duchy.

Hell Knight Zhi Li led fifty thousand troops to attack Xiliang Kingdom.

Hell Knight Bingren led an army of one hundred thousand to attack the Flame Empire.

Empress Ashi Liren, Hell Knight Yan Mo, led an army of one hundred thousand to attack East Li Kingdom.
