In this enigmatic space-time of the Yin Ruins, which exists outside the regular Taixu Universe, Xu Qing seemed to have broken free from an invisible shackle, allowing him to unleash his Heavenly Demon Magical Power without any restraint.
If he were in the Pure Yang Realm, the Heavenly Dao Power from the Taixu Universe would act like a strict overseer, subconsciously suppressing the expansion of Demon Qi, while Xu Qing would also have to endure the frenzied attacks of countless Red Dust Demon Thoughts. But the Yin Ruins Space-Time is vastly different. Here, the warriors of the Yin Dynasty are purer than Xu Qing could ever imagine. Immersed in the traditional beliefs of the Yin Dynasty since childhood, their loyalty to King Yin is deeply ingrained. Because of this purity, when faced with the Demon Qi emanating from Xu Qing, they did not reject it; instead, they viewed it as a symbol of powerful strength and accepted it gladly.
Initially, the disciples of the Heavenly River and Pure Yang sects experienced some discomfort when assisting in suppressing the aristocrats. After all, they come from different cultivation systems and uphold their own beliefs and moral standards. Yet, the mystical "crowd effect" quietly came into play.
Immortals, when traced back to their roots, are also human. Amidst the surging tide of the times, even as disciples of the Immortal Sects, their hearts were subtly changing. Moreover, Xu Qing's brutal suppression of those slaver aristocrats coincided with the moral views upheld by the disciples of the Heavenly River and Pure Yang sects. The four Great Daoist Sects acted with dominance, but they were never demons of the Evil Path who treated human life with contempt. Such acts as live sacrifices were not unheard of in the Four Great Daoist Sects, but they were always based on sufficient and legitimate reasons.
Xu Qing's domineering demeanor displayed in the role of King Yin left a profound mark, firmly etched in the depths of the Yin Dynasty warriors' hearts, growing deeper as time passed. The warriors already possessed a loyalty to King Yin, and now Xu Qing's Heavenly Demon Magical Power further reinforced this loyalty. Each of his commands resounded like a great bell, stirring strong echoes within the warriors' hearts.
After the army thoroughly purged, it smoothly cleared the remaining aristocratic forces in Chao Ge, with everything progressing surprisingly easily, as if a farmer was easily and simply clearing weeds with a hoe. The former arrogance and haughtiness of the aristocrats crumbled under the might of the powerful army, their fortresses and territory quickly breached, wealth confiscated, and minions dispersed.

The State Preceptor Bi Gan snapped back to reality, feeling a wave of dread rising in his heart. Paradoxically, there was also an inexplicable sense of comfort. After all, he had always deeply loathed these greedy and brutal aristocratic slave masters. These aristocrats typically preyed on the common folk, excessively plundering public resources to satisfy their personal desires, even resorting to live human sacrifices to pray for the protection of illusory Divine Spirits.
Now that the detestable individuals have completely vanished, although the process exceeded his expectations, the peace before him was finally clear, and his ears were no longer disturbed by those noisy disputes, bringing forth an unprecedented feeling of ease and freedom.
"Those who stir chaos shall be culled!" King Yin's domineering words softly echoed in everyone's ears, carrying a unique Dao Rhyme that deeply resonated with the soul and awakened the mind. The disciples of the Heavenly River and Pure Yang sects, with Breaking Illusion and refining Primordial Spirit as their guiding principles, could profoundly understand the profound implications in Xu Qing's words. They seemed to see a path leading to a higher realm through these words, further enhancing their respect for Xu Qing.
However, the Grandmaster Wen Zhong felt something was amiss. Though the outcome was quite favorable, the approach was overly straightforward and lacked finesse and adaptability, seemingly not aligned with the orthodox way of kings. He pondered in his heart that the way of kings should balance authority and grace, flexibly combining toughness with gentleness. Such straightforward suppression, while quickly solving problems, inevitably leaves hidden dangers.
Xu Qing seemed to read Wen Zhong's mind and softly continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Great Dao lies only in taking the straight path, not seeking the crooked. Let us strive together." This simple sentence, like sparks cast into a frying pan, instantly ignited the army's momentum. The warriors raised their arms in enthusiastic shouts, boosting morale to the extreme.
Subsequently, the army firmly dismantled their camps, marching grandly towards Green Dragon Pass.
Actually, plundering the aristocrats was also a part of Xu Qing's plan.
Because both plundering and sacking cities were means to motivate morale.
These warriors had already shared the aristocrats' wealth and lands, becoming completely tied to the chariot of reform in the Yin Dynasty. The assault on the Great Zhou is akin to the Qin entering the East.
Like arrows drawn to the bowstring, with no choice but to release.
Once defeated, the warriors themselves know that the things they've gained cannot be preserved, so they must fight with everything they've got.
Only interests can truly deeply unite people's hearts.
Xu Qing also believes that, through the baptism of war, he will gain an unexpectedly formidable team, more invincible and unstoppable than the Immortal Dynasty warriors of the Great Yu Dynasty.
More importantly, these warriors are also outsiders to the Taixu Universe, unbound by the Heavenly Dao of Taixu.

At the mouth of Green Dragon Pass, the Qi Fortunes of Yin and Zhou clashed intensely, like two ferocious giant beasts engaged in a life-and-death struggle. The Qi Fortune of the Yin Dynasty appeared purple tinged with black, resembling a demonic dragon with open claws and fangs, exuding a savage aura of dominance over all life. This was due to the mysterious change brought by the fusion of Xu Qing's Heavenly Demon Power with the original Qi Fortune of the Yin Dynasty.
Meanwhile, the Qi Fortune of the Zhou Dynasty transformed into a golden dragon, though at this moment it seemed rather dispirited. Nonetheless, it resisted stubbornly with all its might, preventing the demonic dragon of Yin's Qi Fortune from crossing Green Dragon Pass and invading the territory of Zhou Country. The golden dragon of Zhou's Qi Fortune appeared weary, yet each struggle testified to its resilience and unyielding spirit, embodying the indomitable will of the people of Zhou.
