Chapter 608: The Arrival of the Celestial Ambassador
Translator: StackThatCoin Editor: Hitesh_
A head flew high and far, belonging to Daoist Fatduck, the master of Mount Black Duck; Wu Qi had removed it from its body with a powerful kick . The mountain was beautiful, but everything was smeared with blood right now . Corpses of cultivators were scattered everywhere, at least four hundred of them . Another two hundred or so cultivators had buried their heads between their hands, kneeling obediently in the square on the mountaintop, surrounded by soldiers clad in heavy armor who emanated menacing auras .
Laughing merrily, Huang Liang was dragging a few young and beautiful female cultivators towards the square . "Your Excellency!" He shouted as he neared, "These few girls are really young, with the oldest only nineteen years old! Hehe… And, they are all virgins!"
Wu Qi waved his hand, signaling Huang Liang that he could do whatever he liked with the girls . Thrilled, Huang Liang and a few hundred-men lieutenants from Ningbo City immediately cupped up the few girls and rushed into a nearby building . Before long, shrill cries of help rang out of the building, and was quickly followed by the rapid noise of body slapping on body and vague moaning .
Although the few youngest and prettiest female cultivators on the mountain were taken by Huang Liang and the few lieutenants, there were still several hundred decent-looking serving ladies around . Wu Qi turned and gestured at a few nearby military officers . At the sight of this, these officers excitedly led their soldiers and rushed towards the serving ladies who had been captured alive, forcibly dragging them into a nearby pavilion as they struggled and begged for mercy .
According to Great Yu's military laws, adultery and raping were strictly prohibited during the war . However, the same laws did not protect Immortals, their clan members, and servants . A general would be beheaded if he was found committing adultery with a fox demon, even if it were the demon that had seduced him . But, no matter how many women related to Immortals were raped during wars, Great Yu's military laws would never protect these unfortunate women .
All the living beings born on Pangu Continent were spirit beings blessed by the Heavenly Dao . Therefore, they were strictly protected by Great Yu's military laws . On the other hand, the Immortals had jumped out of the Three Realms and were not part of the Five Elements . They could no longer be considered humans, as their behavior had violated the Heavenly Laws . Because of that, when it came to Immortals, Great Yu's military laws had no mercy, but rather, encouraged the cruelest means of killing .
It took Wu Qi half a month to breach Mount Black Duck with the help of three thousand private guards of Yu Clan . During the process, he had killed all the stronger Immortals and cultivators, and eventually Daoist Fatduck himself; only managing to capture two hundred or so cultivators below the realm of Nascent Divinity . It had been one year since he participated in wars with the army from Hai Province . The soldiers had fought in many fierce battles, and did not rest for almost a year . Hence, he simply permitted them to act wildly, hoping that it would boost their morale and strength .
Even if he were strict with the army, if he forbade the military officers from raping those female cultivators and serving ladies, according to Great Yu's military laws, they would still be sold into brothels . He could do little to nothing to change their destiny .
The suppressive mission against Myriad Immortal Alliance had been going on for more than a year . After the blood sacrificial ceremony, accompanied by dozens of elites from the Scouting Office and three thousand private guards of Yu Clan, Wu Qi had joined the army of Zhong Province in the war .
The new Prefecture Overseer of Zhong Province, Bo Zhongfu, had thought of establishing his authority by sending one hundred thousand private soldiers of Bo Clan to reinforce Ningbo City . But in the end, the meteor thrown by the three Gold Immortals had completely wiped out the army along with the city . The outcome had sent him fuming .
Meanwhile, as Myriad Immortal Alliance continued to stir up trouble and destroyed over two hundred capital cities of ninth-grade provinces, they had successfully provoked the Human Emperor, who decreed the alliance to be annihilated . With the decree, Bo Zhongfu immediately assembled another army to attack the various bases of itinerant cultivators . Wu Qi had joined the mission with three thousand private guards, and they were placed in the left wing of the army .
Under the leadership of Daoist Fatduck, all the itinerant cultivators within ten thousand miles around Mount Black Duck had gathered together to resist the army led by Wu Qi . Even as the battle was progressing, Bo Zhongfu's third son, Bo Yunting, was leading tens of thousands of soldiers to besiege the Green Phoenix Rock, some thirty thousand miles away . A very famous itinerant cultivator in Zhong Province, Fairy Phoenix, had called upon many itinerant cultivators to fight against him . The situation of the other battlefield was more tragic than here, with both sides suffering great casualties .
While some of the soldiers were enjoying the tender bodies of serving ladies, the others who did not hunger for women were conducting a raid . They seized all of Daoist Fatduck's treasures, such as gold and silver ingots, pearls, corals, turtle shells, gemstones, and many other valuables; piling them up into a small hill in the square .
Later, a flying ship flew over and hovered in the sky . Dozens of Oracles from Dong Hai County's Directorate of Celestials jumped off the ship, landing before Wu Qi and bowing respectfully . After that, with some restraining devices such as Immortal Detaining Needles and Soul Suppressing Talismans, they detained all the two hundred or so cultivators who knelt in the square . When they were done, the ship slowly descended, and after all the cultivators were escorted up the ship, it quickly flew back to Dong Hai County .
Wu Qi looked up at the clouds in the sky as he quietly did some counting with his fingers .
Currently, there were more than six thousand itinerant cultivators being held in the dungeons of Dong Hai City, but their quality was far inferior than that of Reverend Yao Yue and his clan members . It seemed there was still a very long way to go, before he could gather enough offerings to hold three hundred and sixty sacrifice ceremonies as requested by Lei Meng .
Nevertheless, with so many itinerant cultivators caught in the crossfire between Great Yu and Myriad Immortal Alliance, it was not difficult to capture some of them . As long as the war could last for more than a decade, Wu Qi was confident that he could gather enough itinerant cultivators as sacrifices .
