Chapter 51: Defeating the Evil Emperor and Arriving at Sun and Moon City
Having successfully entered the forest, Qiu Hougong first led everyone to leap into the canopy of several large trees to hide, and then smiled gently at Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing beside him wearing light black armor, saying, "Zhuqing, I'll have to trouble you with the rest."
"No trouble at all, Brother Qiu, you and the ladies wait here for a while, I'll be right back."
Zhu Zhuqing smiled at Qiu Hougong, then led her 5,000 scouts forward.
Half an hour later, Zhu Zhuqing led the troops back safely. "Brother Qiu, we have investigated the situation ahead."
"Oh? What's going on?"
Reaching out, Qiu Hougong moved Zhu Zhuqing's hair, which was hanging over her face, to one side and asked with a smile.
"About thirty miles from here lies a small city called Fallen Moon City. It has a population of approximately twenty thousand. Among them are five thousand soldiers and fifty Soul Masters. The strongest is the city lord of Fallen Moon City, a level forty-two Power Attack-type Battle Soul Master..."
Zhu Zhuqing recounted the information she had gathered to Qiu Hougong, then asked, "What should we do next? Should we capture that city lord?"
"There's no rush now. Let's go into town and talk to him tonight."
Qiu Hougong said with a smile.
"it is good."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, and then led her people to search for food in the surrounding area.
Night in Fallen Moon City.
Inside the city government, the exhausted Lord of Meteor Moon City, having just finished dealing with some matters, came to his room to rest.
However, just as he entered the room and closed the door, the previously dark room suddenly lit up, and thirty-two unfamiliar figures appeared before the city lord.
Who are you people?!
Upon seeing so many people suddenly appear in his room, the city lord knew something big was about to happen and was about to activate his martial spirit when he was suddenly controlled by a terrifying pressure.
"Name……"
Wearing deep purple armor, Bibi Dong sat on the throne in Qiu Hou Gong, her beautiful eyes filled with murderous intent as she coldly looked at the city lord. "Don't say any more nonsense, or your end will be very ugly."
"Cao...Cao Shicun".
Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from Bibi Dong, Cao Shicun, filled with fear, said in a trembling voice.
"Position."
Bibi Dong continued to ask.
"The current city lord of Meteor Moon City."
Cao Shicun answered truthfully.
"What is the name of this empire? Who is its ruler?"
Bibi Dong then asked.
"They don't even know the name of the empire? Could they be..."
Upon hearing Bibi Dong's question, Cao Shicun, who already had a guess in mind, was about to think of a countermeasure when a sharp pain caused him to lose his ability to think.
"Ah!! My hand..."
Looking at his severed left thumb, Cao Shicun, who was surprised by the decisiveness of the attack, quickly answered Bibi Dong's question, "The empire's name is Sun and Moon, and its ruler is the Red Sun Emperor, Wu Zhengwu, who has only been on the throne for three months."
"How many cities does the entire empire have? What is the name of the capital? How far is it from here?"
Seeing Cao Shicun like this, Bibi Dong, knowing there was no need to warn him further, also lowered her right hand and asked.
"The empire has a total of 351 cities, and its capital is called Sun and Moon City, which is about 1,800 kilometers away from here."
Cao Shicun answered while trying to stop the bleeding from his hand.
Where is the city's resource reserve?
Bibi Dong asked one last question.
"The underground warehouse in the north of the city, here's the key."
Cao Shicun held up the rather exquisitely designed key and said.
"Hmm, you did well. I plan to give you a reward."
Bibi Dong pulled the key from Cao Shicun's hand into her own, and said with a cold smile.
"It is already an honor for me to provide you with information, sir. How could I dare to ask for any reward?"
Noticing Bibi Dong's unusual expression, Cao Shicun quickly declined.
"Don't want it? Is that something you can decide?"
As Bibi Dong finished speaking with a smile, a golden sword aura instantly pierced through the center of Cao Shicun.
"Xiao Qiu, leave the clearing of the city and the guards to us. We guarantee it will be done within half an hour."
Xiao Wu, wearing pink light armor, volunteered. Standing next to her, Ning Rongrong, wearing light blue armor, also expressed her desire to be with Xiao Wu to Qiu Hougong.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you."
Qiu Hougong smiled and nodded, and then Xiao Wu, Hu Liena, Ning Rongrong, and Tang Yuehua walked out of the room together...
A month later, Qiu Hougong, who had completely taken control of the entire Meteor Moon City, left three hundred Soul Masters to guard the city. Then, he led Gu Yuena and the rest of the Soul Master army towards the main city of the Sun Moon Empire—Sun Moon City.
"Xiao Qiu, wait a minute..."
As they walked along the road, Gu Yuena, who had been walking beside Qiu Hougong, suddenly took two quick steps forward and blocked Qiu Hougong's path, saying, "I sensed an interesting fluctuation of soul power."
"Oh? There?"
Upon hearing Gu Yuena's words, Qiu Hougong, who suddenly remembered that the Sun Moon Empire also had a powerful soul beast, asked a question.
"It's in the woods over there, and it has a sinister aura."
Gu Yuena pointed to a dense forest to the north and said.
"Let's go take a look."
Qiu Hougong nodded to Gu Yuena, and then the group ran together toward the dense forest to the north.
A few minutes later, Qiu Hougong, who had already spotted the target, waved to signal everyone to stop while pulling up the target's personal information.

"Disgusting guy, he's giving me phobias..."
After closing the information panel, Qiu Hougong, who did not want to see the appearance of the Evil Emperor, turned to Gu Yuena and the others and said, "Don't move, I'll handle him myself."
"Okay! Be careful." x31
The women nodded in unison, seemingly as disgusted with the Evil Emperor as Qiu Hougong was.
"rest assured."
Qiu Hougong smiled and addressed the women, then leaped and flew towards the direction of the Evil Emperor.
"Huh? A human?"
Above the dense forest, the Evil Emperor, who had just approached Qiu Hou Gong, glanced at him with some curiosity before beginning to gather his soul power.
"Want to attack me? Try boxing with your shadow first!"
Sensing the fluctuations of soul power within the Evil Emperor's body, Qiu Hougong's lips curled up slightly, and he immediately activated the Cloud Bat Armor Mode, instantly appearing behind the Evil Emperor.
"What?! How could he be so fast?!"
Seeing Qiu Hougong suddenly disappear, the Evil Emperor, who had already sensed Qiu Hougong's appearance behind him, was about to finish charging up and turn around when he was hit to the ground by Qiu Hougong's heavy punch.
"Hmm? There are quite a few of these Evil Eye Tyrants. Well then, let me help you relieve some of your survival pressure."
Upon seeing dozens of Evil-Eyed Tyrants of varying sizes appear around him, Qiu Hougong immediately switched to Whale Shark Armor Mode and then summoned the Super Beast, "Whale Shark God!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Boom!
After a flurry of punches and kicks, Qiu Hougong, seeing the Evil Eye Tyrants gathering power under the command of the Evil Emperor, did not approach to interrupt them this time. Instead, he directly unleashed his ultimate move to eliminate the weaker Evil Eye Tyrants, "Black Sea Abyss!"
"Human powerhouse, let's talk this out. There's no need to make things so unpleasant."
Seeing the black vortex centered on Qiu Hougong, constantly sucking everything around it in, the Evil Emperor, knowing he couldn't be sucked in, hurriedly used his tentacles to pierce the ground to resist the suction. Then, while shouting at Qiu Hougong, he secretly gathered his ultimate move—the Light of Destruction.
"Let's talk this out? Sorry, I have nothing to say to you. Black Sea Abyss!"
Seeing that the Evil Emperor wanted to buy time to launch a counterattack, Qiu Hougong sneered and then increased the attraction of the Black Sea Abyss.
"Fine, you forced me to this, now die!"
The Evil Emperor, who had lost control of his body, roared and unleashed the first fully charged ranged attack of the battle—the Light of Destruction.
Swish!
The light of destruction transformed into a gray ray of light and shot towards Qiu Hougong.
Just as the light of destruction was only ten meters away from Qiu Hougong, the light of destruction, which was originally moving in a straight line, suddenly began to twist, and then, to the astonishment of the Evil Emperor, flew towards the vortex above Qiu Hougong.
"How is this possible?! How is this possible?!"
Seeing his ultimate move so easily neutralized, the Evil Emperor roared in disbelief. The scene before him completely shattered his understanding of the world accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years.
"Master physics and chemistry, and you'll be able to roam the heavens without fear..."
Seeing the Evil Emperor's near collapse, Qiu Hougong, who understood his current feelings, further increased the intensity of the Black Sea Abyss while explaining to him: "Let me tell you something: in the face of a sufficiently powerful gravitational source, all known matter and energy in the world will be uncontrollably attracted to it when it passes by, and there is nothing that is an exception."
"No way, no way!! You must be lying to me, Light of Destruction!!!"
Driven somewhat mad by what had just happened, the Evil Emperor roared loudly, and beams of gray light shot toward Qiu Hougong as if they were free.
"Crazy? Well, this is definitely too hard for you to understand and accept."
Qiu Hougong shook his head slightly as he watched the Evil Emperor launch a frenzied attack, and then controlled the Black Sea Abyss to suck the Evil Emperor in.
"Huh? What is this?"
After completely shattering the Evil Emperor, Qiu Hougong, who was still controlling the Black Sea Abyss to absorb the Evil Emperor's soul ring, asked in confusion, and then took out a pair of strange bones emitting a gray light from the Black Sea Abyss.
"Oh, I remember now. This is the external soul bone we get when we defeat the Evil Emperor, but it's useless to me as a Super Beast Warrior."
Thinking about what this thing was, Qiu Hougong held it in his hand and weighed it a few times before putting the external soul bone into his system backpack and flying towards Xiao Wu and the others.
Back with Gu Yuena and the other women, Qiu Hougong first stood still and let them check him over. After they confirmed that he was alright, he smiled and took out the external soul bone that the Evil Emperor had dropped—the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler's Evil Eye. "This is the external soul bone I got when I dealt with that soul beast. Everyone, take a look and see who is the most suitable to fuse with it."
Upon hearing Qiu Hougong's words, the women remained silent for a few seconds before Gu Yuena spoke first: "I observe that the main attribute of this soul bone is spiritual, so Nana, Rongrong, Lingling, Jiuge, and Xuewu, let's choose the five of you sisters as the recipients of this external soul bone."
“Sister Na’er, from everyone’s perspective, it would be more beneficial for Rongrong and the others to give this soul bone to them, so I won’t participate.”
Hu Liena voluntarily withdrew from the competition.
"Okay, since Nana has decided to withdraw, then it will be handed over to Rongrong and the others. Do you all think that's okay?"
Gu Yuena smiled and nodded at Hu Liena, then continued.
"I agree."
"I agree."
"Support Sister Na'er."
……
The women all agreed.
"Well, since everyone agrees, the rest is up to you to decide."
Gu Yuena looked at Ning Rongrong and the other three women and said.
"Okay." x3
Ning Rongrong and the other three women nodded in agreement, and then they gathered together to discuss it.
"Rongrong, you can have this soul bone. You are the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and your strong spiritual power will make it easier for you to amplify everyone at the same time."
Ye Jiuge spoke up, and Ye Lingling and Xue Wu, who were standing next to her, nodded in agreement.
"Ah? No, no..."
Seeing Ye Jiuge and the other two girls like this, Ning Rongrong, who hadn't originally planned to take the soul bone, quickly waved her hand, "My spiritual power is already sufficient, and I don't need to improve it through a soul bone. So please give this soul bone to the three of you sisters."
"No, our soul skills can heal over a wide area without consuming too much mental energy, so you should keep it, Rongrong..."
"No, I really don't need it..."
"Oh, please accept it..."
……
After a few minutes of back and forth among the four women, the ownership of the soul bone finally fell into Ning Rongrong's hands.
"Alright, it's getting late. Let's hurry up, or we'll have to sleep in the wild tonight."
Qiu Hougong said with a smile, and then the group continued towards the nearest city...
A week later, Qiu Hougong and his men, who had cleared out many bandits and outlaws along the way, arrived at a hillside.
"Little Qiu, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire, Sun Moon City, is just ahead..."
Standing next to Qiu Hougong, Ling Yuan pointed to the city in front of them, which was smaller than Shenwu City, the capital of the Shenwu Empire, and asked Qiu Hougong, "What should we do next?"
