Douluo Continent: Starting with Ten Kings of Hell, Shocking Qian Renxue

Chapter 9 In my eyes, I have no need for allies! Submission or death are your only choices. [Please continue reading]

In the side hall of the Duke of Qin's mansion.

"This is outrageous! We are nobles, after all. Even if our titles are not as high as Duke Qin's, we are still among the most prominent figures in the Heavenly Dou Empire!"

"But what about him? He killed nearly half of my clan's guards just because of a disagreement. Outrageous!"

"In the hundred years since the founding of the Tiandou Kingdom, has it ever produced such a rule-breaker?"

"He only has a Soul Master in charge; isn't he afraid that my noble family will rebel against him too?"

The clamor was deafening. The side hall of the Duke's mansion, which was originally quite spacious, was now packed with people, all of whom wore expressions of anger.

Because they weren't invited, they were threatened into coming!

King Qin Guang did not waste any of their time. He started a massacre without warning, killing anyone who offered a reason or directly told him they wouldn't go!

The killings were endless, the blood flowed like rivers, but they had no choice but to come!

This is simply unbelievable. In the entire Heavenly Dou Empire, has such a thing ever happened before?

Even though all the races are now being abandoned by Xueye, they still retain their noble status. Until they completely break off relations, they remain nobles, beings above ordinary people.

They are not sinners at this moment!

But Qin Zheng treated them like this; who could accept that?

"His Majesty has ordered that you all come to the council hall for a discussion."

Suddenly, a hoarse voice rang out in the room. It wasn't loud, but it drowned out everyone else's voice.

The scene fell silent instantly!

Everyone turned their gaze towards him, and upon seeing King Qin Guang's unchanging, lifeless face, a chill ran through them, and they dared not act as recklessly as before.

"You are utterly outrageous! I will definitely report you to Duke Qin!"

"lead the way!"

Some people swallowed hard, trying to keep their voices quiet.

"please!"

【…】

Soon, people began to enter the council hall of Duke Qin's mansion.

The moment they entered, they were suppressing their anger and began to denounce King Qin Guang's behavior.

"Duke Qin, your men have killed many of our people!"

"We are not your enemy, yet your men are killing innocent people indiscriminately."

"Excuse me, would you like to give us one...?"

Before they could even utter the word "explanation," the people who had come in to make their accusations all fell silent.

Not far from the main entrance, a young man dressed in black, exuding an air of nobility and mystery, sat in the main seat.

The boy held a teacup, his sharply defined face shimmering in the candlelight.

Those eyes were filled with a fiery, blazing light. Just by looking into them, even though there was no trace of soul power, they sent chills down the spines of anyone who looked at them!

"What's wrong with you? Keep talking!"

Seeing the noise stop, the other nobles who had originally planned to interrogate them all looked puzzled and slowly stepped into the inner hall from both sides to look inside.

"The tea has gone cold, Qin Aiqing."

Inside the inner hall, Qin Zheng held a teacup and spoke calmly. Then, as if only then noticing that everyone had entered, he slightly raised the corner of his eye and looked down at them.

His eyes, filled with flickering firelight, gradually reflected the figures of many people. Although he didn't utter another word, an extremely oppressive atmosphere emerged.

Swah——

The atmosphere in the entire inner hall suddenly dropped and became heavy.

The nobles who were originally planning to cause trouble felt as if their hearts were being squeezed by an invisible hand, and their cheeks were covered in a fine layer of sweat.

"Oh--"

Only then did Qin Zheng smile faintly and put down his teacup.

"Don't be nervous, I don't intend to do anything to you."

"Yes. Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Qin Zheng. Qin as in Great Qin, Zheng as in political power..."

"From now on, you will be our new masters."

The scene fell into a deathly silence!

All the nobles who heard Qin Zheng's voice wanted to retort and rebuke him, but they were all overwhelmed by the invisible aura emanating from Qin Zheng, and even when they managed to open their mouths, their voices were hoarse...

I can't utter a single word; it's not just that I can't say it, it's that I dare not!

Now, since Qin Zheng condensed the destiny of the [Emperor of the Underworld], his aura is very different from before. If before, he was still a fledgling dragon that had not yet grown up.

Now, behind this fledgling dragon stands a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and every move it makes exudes majesty!

"Duke Qin... Duke Qin."

"Although we also hate Emperor Xueye to the core, how can subjects defy their emperor?"

"Although you have powerful backers, the Heaven Dou Royal Family also has Title Douluos behind them!"

"We are nothing but ants, and dare not openly oppose the Heavenly Dou Empire."

"But if Duke Qin truly intends to rebel, then... we will provide His Excellency with some assistance!"

"Duke Qin, what is your opinion?"

An old man swallowed hard and stepped forward with difficulty. Although Qin Zheng's aura was indeed strong, they had known each other for a long time. How could they easily submit and allow themselves to be insulted?

If word got out, the fact that countless nobles were afraid of a mere child would be enough to make people laugh their heads off!

"Hmm, that's a good suggestion." Qin Zheng still had that gentle smile on his face, and he tapped the table lightly with one hand, making a crisp 'clanging' sound.

The next moment, King Qin Guang raised his aged eyes, which had been lowered.

"boom--"

The old man, who was originally prepared to deal with Qin Zheng and stay out of it, was suddenly blasted into a bloody mist by the terrifying aura. He didn't even have a chance to scream before his body was completely destroyed!

"Unfortunately," Qin Zheng calmly surveyed the scene, his smile unchanged, and slowly said, "In my eyes, there are no allies!"

"Of course, I don't need your so-called help."

"What I want is submission. I want you to submit to me like dogs."

"Everyone, did you understand?"

The atmosphere froze to freezing point. Everyone standing in the inner hall felt a terrifying despair as they looked at the old man who had been shaken into a pool of blood, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

They wanted to scream in terror to release their inner fear.

But they dared not, they really dared not!

The smiling man, who looked like a boy next door, gave them an extreme sense of oppression.

This oppressive feeling was enough to kill them all!

"Very good, everyone here is a smart person."

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic."

"In the previous battle between me and the Crown Prince, I lost many guards. You gentlemen saw this and felt sorry for me. You wished to take out your family wealth to confiscate and voluntarily submit to me."

"Gentlemen, does anyone have any objections?"

Qin Zheng's gentle tone echoed in the small space, like a death knell returning from hell, making everyone present even more fearful and horrified!

The sound of each word was so calm, yet it filled one's heart with a deathly despair!

In the midst of laughter and conversation, they manipulated human lives with ease.

This Qin Zheng is terrifying!

He is a thousand times more terrifying than the Snow Night Emperor!

Is this person really a teenager?!
