"I am Yang Rui, the puppet master, open the city gate and surrender, I can let you live, otherwise after I break the city, you and your family will be executed, and all family property will be confiscated!"

Yang Rui rode on the body of an eighth-order star beast puppet, slowly walked to the outside of the city walls of Dongzhou City, and shouted loudly as he looked at the city lord of Dongzhou City above the city walls of Dongzhou City with a calm face.

"Yang Rui, I am the city lord of Dongzhou City, and I am also the pastor of Dongzhou City, Zhang Jun, we have three eighth-order star warriors in Dongzhou City, if you can defeat the three eighth-order star warriors in our Dongzhou City, our Dongzhou City will surrender to you unconditionally and serve you!"

Looking at Yang Rui riding on the body of the eighth-order star beast puppet, Zhang Jun, the city lord of Dongzhou City and the pastor of Dongzhou Prefecture, shrank his eyes slightly, and immediately decided to admit it and not fight with the puppet army under Yang Rui's command.

"Yes, you three eighth-order star warriors from Dongzhou City should go up together, so as not to delay time!"

As soon as Yang Rui's body moved, he flew up from the eighth-order star beast puppet, suspended in the air at a height of thousands of meters, looking down on Dongzhou City Road.

Seeing Yang Rui's movements, Dongzhou City Chengcheng Zhangjun and the two eighth-order star warriors of Dongzhou City glanced at each other, and without the slightest hesitation or hesitation, they immediately rose into the air and looked at Yang Rui a hundred meters away.

"Strike first, lest as soon as I make a move, you won't have a chance to strike!"

Looking at Zhang Jun and the three of them a hundred meters away, Yang Rui said with a smile.

"Then you have to be careful!

Zhang Jun roared angrily, the star power in his body surged wildly, and a silver sledgehammer appeared in his palm, and under the infusion of his star power, it released an incomparably bright starlight, with terrifying power, turned into a silver lightning bolt, and bombarded Yang Rui's body.

"Streamer Knife!"

"Star Pole Sword!"

With the roar of the two eighth-order star warriors, the other two star warriors in Dongzhou City mobilized the star power in their bodies, waved the long knives and long swords in their hands, and quickly slashed towards Yang Rui's body.

Suddenly, I saw a star-shining silver sledgehammer, a long knife containing sharp edges, and a long sword flashing with cold and cold light, speeding straight towards Yang Rui's body from three different angles.

Whether it is a silver sledgehammer or a long sword and a long sword, they all contain terrifying power, they can easily destroy a small mountain, they can easily bombard and kill a seventh-order peak star warrior, even if they are an eighth-order star warrior, if they resist hard, they will be severely injured by a single blow.

"Starlight Shield!"

Looking at the galloping silver sledgehammer, long knife and long sword, Yang Rui's expression remained unchanged, and the star power in his body surged, condensing a huge starlight shield in front of him.

Bang! Bang!

In the crisp sound of metal colliding, silver sledgehammers, long knives and long swords fell on the Starlight Shield one after another, stirring up brilliant sparks, but they could not break through the Starlight Shield's defense.

"How is this possible!"

"It can't be!"

"It's incredible, isn't it?"

Although they knew that Yang Rui was strong, Zhang Jun and the three of them didn't know that Yang Rui's strength was so strong, and then the condensed starlight shield blocked the three of them from joining forces to strike with all their might, which was completely beyond their imagination.

"Meteor Sword!"

When Zhang Jun and the three of them exclaimed, Yang Rui snorted lightly, the star power in his body surged, and the Five Elements Sword in his hand swung out, and three extremely powerful swords containing terrifying power shot out from them, slashing towards Zhang Jun and the three of them.

Bang! Bang!

With a crisp sound, three sharp sword rays easily broke through the star power shield condensed by Zhang Jun and the three of them, and slashed down on the bodies of the three people, leaving a clear sword mark on each of the three people, and a trace of red blood flowed out of it.

"We lost! Our subordinates have seen the Lord!"

Glancing at the blood-stained clothes on their chests, Zhang Jun and the others immediately knelt down on one knee in front of Yang Rui and shouted loudly.

Seeing the movements of Zhang Jun and the others, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Yang Rui's mouth, and he immediately cast a magic control technique, hitting a trace of spiritual imprint into the bodies of the three people, controlling the life and death of the three people.

As Zhang Jun and the others surrendered to Yang Rui, Dongzhou City immediately opened its gates, allowing the puppet army to enter Dongzhou City and take over the defense of Dongzhou City.

After that, the star stones and various resources above the ninth floor of the Dongzhou Chengzhou Pastoral Mansion and the major families were sent to Yang Rui by the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion and the major families, and were included in the puppet tower by Yang Rui.

At the same time, as the city of Dongzhou fell into the palm of Yang Rui's hands, the entire Dongzhou was reduced to Yang Rui's territory, and the star stones and resources above the ninth floor of Dongzhou were included in the puppet tower by Yang Rui, making the star stones and resources in Yang Rui's puppet tower pile up.

"It's about the same time, the empire's powerhouse should be coming soon, I'd better improve my cultivation strength first!"

In the underground cultivation room of the Chengzhou Pastoral Mansion in Dongzhou, Yang Rui muttered softly, and then entered the Bodhi space and cultivated the eighth layer of the Starlight Technique.

At the same time, the puppet tower began to devour the star stone, refining it, and a stream of incomparably pure star power poured into Yang Rui's body, making Yang Rui's cultivation improve rapidly.

A day later, Yang Rui's cultivation was promoted from the early stage of the eighth-order star warrior to the peak of the eighth-order star warrior, and he was only one step away from being promoted to a ninth-order star warrior and becoming the strongest person in the Star Secret Realm.

It's just that the later it gets, the more star stones are needed, and the star stones that Yang Rui obtained from Dongzhou can no longer support his cultivation to the ninth-order star warrior, so after Yang Rui was promoted to the peak of the eighth-order star warrior, he stopped cultivating and walked out of the Bodhi space.

"Lord, the Imperial Emissary Ninth-Order Star Warrior Zhao Peng has arrived, he wants to see you!"

Not long after Yang Rui came out of the cultivation room, Zhao Yan found Yang Rui and reported softly.

"Bring Zhao Peng to the living room, I'll be there in a moment!" Yang Rui replied in a flat tone.

"Yes, Lord!" Zhao Yan replied, and turned around to arrange.

Not long after, Yang Rui came to the living room of the Dongzhou Prefecture Governor's Mansion, glanced at the imperial envoy sitting at the bottom, a look of surprise involuntarily flashed in his eyes, and he walked straight to the main seat and sat down, looking at the imperial envoy at the bottom and said, "I don't know what the envoy is looking for me?"

Hearing Yang Rui's words, Zhao Peng, the imperial envoy who was sitting at the bottom, did not respond, but agitated the star power in his body, released the coercion of the ninth-order star warrior, and crushed Yang Rui's body.

Feeling the coercion of the ninth-order star warrior released by Zhao Peng, Yang Rui's expression remained unchanged, and with a wave of his big hand, a powerful coercion was released from his body, blocking Zhao Peng's coercion, and said in a flat tone: "Lord Messenger, it's not polite for you to do this!" Seeing that Yang Rui could easily block his momentum and coercion, Zhao Peng immediately withdrew the coercion on his body, looked at Yang Rui with a smile and said, "I just want to try it and see if you are qualified to talk to me on an equal footing!" Now that you've proven your strength, you're qualified to talk to me on an equal footing!

I'm looking for you this time, mainly because I want to make a deal with you! The situation of the Imperial Capital City, Zhao Yan should have told you, I came this time to use the surrounding lands in the southeast, northwest, and northwest in exchange for your full support for the Imperial Capital City to exterminate the star beasts outside the Imperial Capital City!"

Hearing Zhao Peng's words, Yang Rui's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a flat tone: "The strength of the Imperial Capital City is extremely powerful, I am not the opponent of the Imperial Capital City, in case the star beasts outside the Imperial Capital City are wiped out, and the Imperial Capital City frees up its hands to clean me up, wouldn't it be extremely simple!"

As soon as Yang Rui's voice fell, Zhao Peng smiled slightly and said: "Yang Rui, don't worry, the four states of the southeast, the northwest, and west are just chicken ribs for the empire, and they don't care at all! The empire will not offend you, a person with the combat power of a ninth-order star warrior and a powerful puppet legion, for the sake of the four states!"

Hearing Zhao Peng's words, Yang Rui pondered for a moment and said, "If you want me to lead the puppet army to assist the Imperial Capital City in exterminating the star beasts outside the Imperial Capital City, in addition to the four states in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, the Imperial Capital City must also provide me with a trillion star stones and materials for refining ten million puppet warriors, I don't know what the envoy wants?"

"No problem! I can agree to your conditions on behalf of the Empire!" Zhao Penghao replied without hesitation.

For the Imperial Capital City, a trillion star stones and some materials for refining puppets were nothing at all, just a small part of the star stones and various materials accumulated in the Imperial Capital City over countless years.

"Please wait for me for three days, and after I take over Xizhou, Nanzhou, and Beizhou, I will go to the Imperial Capital City at will!"

Seeing Zhao Peng so refreshing, Yang Rui's eyes lit up, and he responded with a smile on his face.

"Yes, if necessary, I can help take over Xizhou, Nanzhou, and Beizhou!" Zhao Peng nodded in response.

"It's great that the envoy is willing to make a move!" Yang Rui's eyes flashed, and he laughed loudly.

After the two sides reached an agreement, Yang Rui immediately took action.

With the assistance of Zhao Peng, with a huge number of puppet legions, as well as a large number of high-level star warriors in Dongzhou, most of the cities in Xizhou, Nanzhou, and Beizhou surrendered directly, and the star stones and resources above the ninth layer were taken away by Yang Rui, and all the resistants in the small number of resisting counties were executed by Yang Rui, and all property was confiscated.

In just three days, Xizhou, Nanzhou, and Beizhou fell into Yang Rui's palm, and the star stones and resources above the ninth layer of the three states were included in the puppet tower by Yang Rui, making the star stones and various materials of the puppet tower pile up.

After having a large number of star stones and various resources, Yang Rui asked Xiao Tian to urge the puppet array on the third layer of the puppet tower to refine the puppet warriors of the fifth, sixth and seventh orders with all his might, so as not to have enough puppet warriors to use after he arrived in the imperial capital.

"Yang Rui, it's time, it's time for us to go!"

After seeing Yang Rui take over Xizhou, Nanzhou, and Beizhou, Zhao Peng urged softly.

"Okay, let's go!"

Yang Rui nodded lightly, and then took off with Zhao Peng and galloped away in the direction of the imperial capital.
