Chapter 298: Carefree Alliance

Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Carefree Alliance

Above the Primordial Evil Alliance, Yuan Chou’s body fell straight from the sky.

Yi Xiaoyao caught up in an instant, extracted his Nascent Soul, and devoured his soul. Then, with a single punch, he blasted the body into the ground below.

At that moment, the countless powerhouses watching the battle from afar stared in horror at the scene, witnessing Yuan Chou’s body smash a massive crater into the earth.

Everyone’s minds went blank.

"The Alliance Leader is dead!"

A Squad Leader couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

His voice sent the entire Primordial Evil Alliance into an immediate uproar.

"Yi Xiaoyao really killed the Alliance Leader!"

"The Alliance Leader was so powerful, yet he was killed just like that!" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Yi Xiaoyao... his combat prowess is simply terrifying!"

After the initial shock, they quickly came to their senses, remembering an unavoidable fact.

"So what do we do now?"

As this question hung in the air, everyone fell silent again, turning their nervous gazes toward Yi Xiaoyao.

All eyes converged on the lone figure of Yi Xiaoyao in the void.

Yi Xiaoyao’s black robes fluttered though there was no wind, and his dark hair danced in the faint aura of power he exuded.

His eyes, gleaming with a hidden light, swept over the members of the Primordial Evil Alliance below.

"The Primordial Evil Alliance dies! The Carefree Alliance is born!"

Yi Xiaoyao’s voice thundered and echoed throughout the Primordial Evil Alliance, reaching everyone’s ears.

This was his plan: destroy the Primordial Evil, build his Alliance.

Everyone’s expression changed upon hearing these words.

The Primordial Evil Alliance dies, the Carefree Alliance is born.

The meaning of this sentence was crystal clear to all.

The "dies" and "is born" didn’t just represent the destruction and creation of two factions.

It also meant that those who insisted on remaining with the Primordial Evil Alliance had only one path: annihilation. Only those who joined the Carefree Alliance would be allowed to live.

"We are willing to join the Carefree Alliance and follow the Sovereign of the Carefree Alliance!"

Everyone responded in unison, their shouts shaking the heavens.

Yi Xiaoyao felt their response from below, a flicker in his eyes.

He knew that if he didn’t wipe out the Primordial Evil Alliance today, news of this battle would surely spread, and his identity would be exposed.

However, Yi Xiaoyao still made this choice, because he no longer intended to remain hidden.

Since he was taking the second step toward unifying the Chaotic Alliance Domain and establishing his own faction, his identity had to be made public!

Today, the Carefree Alliance is established!

With that, the next step was naturally to make the necessary arrangements and appointments.

Poised in the void, Yi Xiaoyao began to appoint his commanders.

...

「Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in Yunzhou City, at the City Lord’s Mansion.」

Outside the mansion stood a man in magnificent golden robes, and behind him were two Golden Armor Powerhouses with terrifying auras.

Immediately after, Yun Cang hurried out of the mansion to greet the gold-robed man.

"I was unaware of the Second Prince’s arrival. Please forgive my discourtesy," Yun Cang said, bowing with clasped hands.

The gold-robed man gave a casual wave of his hand and walked into the Yun Mansion.

"I have been enfeoffed as a Marquis here, in charge of twenty-one cities including your Yunzhou City. I came today to conduct an inspection," the Second Prince said.

Yun Cang followed behind him, ushering the Second Prince into the main reception hall.

Almost everyone in the Great Xia knew that although this Second Prince was not the Emperor’s eldest son, he was uniquely favored by Emperor Xia.

Now that Emperor Xia had enfeoffed him, giving him control over twenty-one cities and a portion of the Imperial Army Mansion’s power, it was clear that he intended for this Second Prince to inherit the throne.

The Second Prince had just sat down in the hall when he spoke to Yun Cang. "Yun Cang, I hear that your Yun Mansion is home to the number one beauty of Yunzhou City? Why don’t you let me have a look?"

Yun Cang’s expression changed at his words. He finally understood why the Second Prince had paid a visit so late at night.

Clearly, the man had not come for an inspection, but with a specific goal in mind.

That goal was Yun Mengling.

However, given the Prince’s status, Yun Cang couldn’t refuse. He had no choice but to instruct Yuncheng, who was standing behind him, "Have Meng Ling come over."

A moment later, Yun Mengling walked into the hall with a confused look on her face.

"Grandfather, why did you call for me so late?"

Yun Mengling asked Yun Cang, frowning as she glanced at the Second Prince seated to the side.

But as her gaze passed over him, the Second Prince’s expression froze for a moment before his eyes lit up, and he burst into excited laughter.

"Hahaha! Excellent! The rumors are indeed true! Worthy of being called the number one beauty of Yunzhou City. In my opinion, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call her the number one beauty in the entire Great Xia Empire!"

The Second Prince’s eyes were fixed on Yun Mengling. He was so captivated that he unconsciously stood up and started walking toward her.

Yun Mengling’s pretty face turned cold, and she warily took a few steps back.

Seeing this, Yun Cang let out a few heavy coughs.

The Second Prince finally came to his senses, but he still swallowed hard, savoring the sight.

"Ling’Er, this is the Second Prince of our Great Xia Empire. Hurry and pay your respects," Yun Cang said.

Yun Mengling felt the Second Prince’s gaze on her. Her brows furrowed tightly as she gave a slight curtsy.

The Second Prince licked his lips, nodding repeatedly in extreme satisfaction.

"Alright, you may go now," Yun Cang said to Yun Mengling.

Yun Mengling was about to leave when the Second Prince’s voice stopped her.

"Wait. My business here today concerns a matter for the rest of Miss Yun’s life. It’s better if she stays," the Second Prince said with a smile.

As soon as he said this, the expressions of both Yun Mengling and Yun Cang changed.

"Second Prince, what is the meaning of this?" Yun Cang asked in a low voice.

"Have I not made myself clear?" The Second Prince raised an eyebrow and said coolly, "In seven days, I will come to marry Miss Yun. The ’inspection’ I mentioned earlier was to inspect her."

Hearing this, Yun Mengling’s face grew cold, her icy gaze fixed on the Second Prince.

Yun Cang’s face darkened as well. As far as he knew, this Second Prince already had forty-one concubines. If Yun Mengling married him, wouldn’t she become the forty-second?

Yun Cang was a City Lord, after all, and Yun Mengling was his most beloved granddaughter. How could he be willing to let her become someone’s concubine? And the forty-second one at that!

Even if he was a prince who would one day become the Emperor of Great Xia, it was absolutely out of the question!

Seeing Yun Mengling’s pleading gaze, Yun Cang said coldly to the Second Prince, "I’m afraid Meng Ling cannot accept the Second Prince’s kind intentions. She was already engaged to another before this."

"Engaged?"

The Second Prince let out a cold laugh. "To Shao Jingyun of the Shao Family?"

"It seems that this Shao Jingyun has already been killed, hasn’t he? And the one who killed him is named Yi Xiaoyao, a heavily wanted criminal by my Imperial Army Mansion! Most importantly, it seems this Yi Xiaoyao has quite a close relationship with your Yun Mansion, doesn’t he!"

At this, the Second Prince slammed his hand on the table.

"Yun Cang, the crime of colluding with a Bounty Hunter from the Chaotic Alliance Domain... I don’t need to tell you what the consequences will be if I decide to pursue this, do I?"

Yun Cang’s face turned deathly pale upon hearing this.

’How does the Second Prince know about this in such detail?’

"If you don’t want the Yun Mansion to be ransacked and the Yun Family to be executed, then in seven days, Yun Mengling will be my concubine!"

After saying this, the Second Prince gave a triumphant, cold laugh and left the Yun Mansion directly with the two Golden Armor Powerhouses behind him.

In the hall, Yun Mengling’s face was also pale. She looked at Yun Cang helplessly.

"Grandfather, in this life, I will marry no one but Xiaoyao! If you make me marry that man, it’s the same as sending me to my death!"

Yun Cang’s expression was complicated. He let out a heavy sigh. Finally, he said to Yuncheng behind him, "Yuncheng, make a trip to the Chaotic Alliance Domain and inform Yi Xiaoyao of this matter."
