In the fourth chapter, a change occurs in the imperial court.

In the Golden Palace, all the officials pay homage, and the civil and military officials praise the emperor. Cang Shitian, in the appearance of Huangfu Tengyun, sits on the dragon throne and summons all the officials.

A long, drawn-out eunuch's voice rang out: "Speak if you have something to say, otherwise the court is dismissed!"

An old minister stepped forward; it was Qi Huan, a former friend of Cheng Yuanzhi. He said, "Now that Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and our dynasty has suffered two major battles—the Iron Wall and Fengdu—the nation's strength has been greatly depleted. I beg Your Majesty to temporarily cease hostilities and give the people a chance to recuperate."

Cang Shitian replied, "The rebels are rampant, attempting to disrupt the fate of our Great Heng Dynasty. We cannot tolerate them. If I give them a chance to breathe, and they grow stronger in the future, wouldn't it be even more difficult for the court to eliminate them?"

Qi Huan continued, "The northern border is currently besieged by the combined forces of Tie Lie and the Western Regions, and the people are suffering. I beg Your Majesty to send troops to their aid."

Cang Shitian said, "Tie Lie and the Western Regions have already submitted their surrender, vowing to submit to our Great Heng Dynasty forever. They are merely helping me eliminate the rebels entrenched in the northern border!"

Qi Huan's expression darkened slightly. He said, "Your Majesty, those who are not of our race are sure to have different intentions. These barbarian tribes should not be trusted easily. Nine times out of ten, they are using the pretense of surrender to gain greater benefits from our dynasty, and then they will seize the opportunity to cause trouble." Cang Shitian snorted and said, "I have my own solutions. There is no need for you to worry, sir."

Another civil official stepped forward. It was Xue Le, the newly appointed top scholar. He bowed respectfully

and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report." Cang Shitian nodded and said, "What is it, Minister Xue?"

Xue Le said, "Your Majesty, this article has been circulating among the people recently, and it has caused quite a stir among scholars. I have specially written it down word for word to present to Your Majesty for your review."

Cang Shitian smiled and said, "An article that can catch the eye of a top scholar must be extraordinary. I would also like to read it." Xue Le took out a memorial and handed it to the chief eunuch.

Cang Shitian unfolded the memorial and was immediately enraged. He threw the memorial down and shouted, "Nonsense! Xue Le, how dare you use such treacherous writing to mock me!"

Xue Le bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This document was not written by this humble subject."

Cang Shitian snorted, "Where is the Minister of Justice?"

The Minister of Justice stepped forward and responded.

Cang Shitian raised an eyebrow and said, "I order you to immediately arrest the person who wrote this article and bring him to justice without fail!"

The Minister of Justice said, "Your Majesty, the person who wrote this article is none other than Gao Hong, the former Minister of Personnel!"

Cang Shitian flew into a rage, slamming his fist on the table and standing up, "Outrageous! I personally promoted him to Minister of Personnel, and not only did he not appreciate the favor, he also sided with the rebels. Now he dares to insult me with his writing! Guards, take the entire Gao family back to the Imperial Prison and execute nine generations of their relatives!"

The Minister of Justice replied, "Your Majesty... Gao Hong has been an orphan since childhood, without father or mother, and without any relatives. He has relied on the charity of some kind-hearted people in his hometown to survive."

Cang Shitian snorted, "Then throw all those who helped him into the death row!"

These words shocked the court.

Qi Huan said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable!"

Cang Shitian narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Why does Grand Secretary Qi think this is inappropriate?"

Qi Huan said, "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the most severe punishment has only been the extermination of nine generations of one's family; I have never heard of anyone implicating neighbors and friends!"

Cang Shitian snorted, "Since there is no precedent, then I will set a precedent and exterminate ten generations!" Grand

Secretary Shen Shiyuan of the Wenhua Hall, Mr. Haoming Li Panlong, and the recluse Yue Donghai, along with other upright officials, all stood up to object. Cang Shitian said coldly, "If it weren't for these ignorant people who rescued and raised this little thief, how could Gao Hong be who he is today?" "He has committed the crime of harboring thieves; how can he not die!"

He paused, then added, "Long Hui and Gao Hong are students from Wuyai Academy in Baiwan Town. Therefore, all the teachers should be convicted of negligence in teaching!"

These two charges were unheard of, and the officials immediately erupted in uproar. Xue Le raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, please reconsider! Such charges are utterly absurd. If these innocent people are truly convicted, I fear the people's hearts will be greatly disturbed!"

Cang Shitian's face turned frosty. He chuckled and quietly looked at the civil and military officials below. An inexplicable pressure descended, and everyone's hearts tightened, falling silent.

"Is there anyone else who thinks my decree is wrong?"

Cang Shitian asked coldly.

Xue Le stepped forward and said, "This humble subject humbly requests Your Majesty to rescind your decree."

After him, a group of officials stepped forward to plead for the emperor.

Guo Fei and Zhang Ming were among them, along with Qi Huan, Shen Shiyuan, Li Panlong, Yue Donghai, and other veteran officials.

Cang Shitian said, "Good, very good. The top three scholars advance and retreat together, what a deep bond of kinship! Qi Huan, you old ministers are quite compatible, actually coming out together to rebel against me!"

His tone was extremely calm, yet there was a chill in it.

Cang Shitian slammed his hand on the dragon throne and said in a cold voice, "Guards, remove their official hats, banish them from the court, and never let them be employed again!"

At this moment, Xue Le laughed loudly, causing everyone to be stunned.

The head eunuch roared, "Xue Le, you've caused a disturbance in the court! Do you know your crime?!"

Xue Le sneered, "Xue Le finally understands, understands..."

Cang Shitian asked in a deep voice, "Understood what?"

Xue Le stared directly at him, unfazed by his gaze, about to speak his mind, when Guo Fei hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, and Zhang Ming immediately knelt and kowtowed, saying, "Having committed the offense of disrespecting His Majesty, this sinful subject has no face to remain in the capital and will leave immediately!"

Guo and Zhang were familiar with Xue Le and knew his temperament well. Fearing he might say something disastrous, they quickly confessed their crimes to stop him from speaking further.

Cang Shitian snorted, "Each of you will receive thirty strokes of the cane and be expelled from the court. You are given three days to leave Yujing and will never be allowed to enter the capital again. Those who disobey will be executed without mercy!"

With that, he turned and left.

All the officials whose official hats had been removed were dragged out by the guards and given thirty strokes of the cane.

Fifty-three people were dismissed from their posts this time, half of whom were elderly and frail. A beating left more than a dozen dead on the spot, and the rest barely clinging to life.

The men dared not linger, enduring their injuries, and ordered their servants to pack their belongings, sell their property, and leave the capital as quickly as possible. Xue, Guo, and Zhang, having only recently achieved official rank, possessed little property and quickly finished packing. Having few servants, the three hired a carriage together to return to their hometown. Leaving Wenwu Hutong, they encountered a white hearse, carrying mournful cries as it drove away into the distance.

Xue Le sighed, "Alas, this world..."

Guo Fei and Zhang Ming also shook their heads with bitter smiles. Still injured, they couldn't move around too much, so they told the driver to stop for a while and let the hearse pass. Only after the hearse had gone did they continue their journey. After

leaving the capital, the carriage traveled another thirty li on the official road. As dusk fell, they stopped to rest.

Just then, a caravan approached from the side, carrying children and raising clouds of dust; they, too, were spending the night there.

After the caravan stopped, the curtain of the opposite carriage was lifted, and an old man, supported by others, stepped down—it was Qi Huan.

"My lord, you are still injured; you shouldn't move around too much," said

an old woman following him down; she was Qi Huan's wife.

Qi Huan scoffed, "I just wanted to see how dark it really is!"

The old woman said, "My lord, it's getting late; don't wander around anymore. We have to travel tomorrow!"

Qi Huan glared, his beard bristling, and said, "Tomorrow? The clouds have already covered the sun; what tomorrow is there to speak of!"

Upon seeing this, Xue Le and the other two hurriedly got out of the carriage and bowed, saying, "Lord Qi, we are so grateful for your hospitality."

Qi Huan was slightly taken aback and said with considerable surprise, "I never expected to see three young heroes again!"

The three repeatedly expressed their humility.

Qi Huan said, "In that vast court, among all the civil and military officials, only a mere thirteen dared to speak the truth. You three have just achieved fame and honor, yet you are not afraid of powerful figures. What else could you be but young heroes? You three truly deserve the title." Xue Le sighed, "The past is past, let's not dwell on it. Lord Qi, how are you? Is your injury serious?" (Advertisement: Still relying on your hands? How can that be enjoyable?

. Qi Huan said, "It's alright, although I'm old, my bones are still strong, definitely better than that dizzy..."

Old Mrs. Qi hurriedly stamped her foot and said, "Master, please say less!"

Qi Huan angrily said, "What does this old woman know? I'll say it, I'll scold you, let's see what this dark sky can do to me!"

The old woman reached out and wiped away her tears and said, "Master, I know you have a proud spirit, but you also have to think about our children and grandchildren!"

Qi Huan's expression stiffened, he sighed deeply, and helplessly closed his mouth.

Xue Le and the others sensed his reluctance to speak, so they changed the subject, saying, "Lord Qi, what are your plans for the future?"

Qi Huan replied, "I have lost my official position, so there's no need for you three to address me as 'Lord Qi' anymore. I am already exhausted, and it's time for me to go home and enjoy my retirement."

Xue Le sighed helplessly and casually recited, "The worm soars arrogantly across the land, dark clouds obscure the sun, bringing disaster for thousands of miles. The sky is dark and the earth is shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to see. When will the clear sky be seen again?"

Qi Huan understood the meaning of the poem and laughed heartily, "Young Master Xue is truly a man of great talent. This poem has made me feel very comfortable, expressing what I wanted to say but dared not say!"

The poem was good, but if you took the second character of each line, it would be "Soaring Clouds and a Tyrannical Ruler," which was a scathing rebuke of the clowns in the imperial palace.

Guo Fei sighed, "It seems Gao Hong's article wasn't entirely baseless!"

Qi Huan said, "Gao Lingyun is Grand Secretary Cheng's prized student. His talent and character are quite like Grand Secretary Cheng's. I greatly admire him. His article hit that man's weak spot, which is why he was so enraged and expelled us from the court to cover up his ugly purpose."

At this moment, a fast horse came from behind, and a man dismounted, saying, "This humble one requests an audience with Elder Qi Huan!"

Qi Huan was about to reply when Zhang Ming pulled him back, saying, "Elder Qi, be careful of treacherous people plotting against us."

Qi Huan said, "It's alright. If someone really..." "If you wanted to take my old life, there was no need to show yourself in front of so many people."

Qi Huan stepped forward and said, "I am Qi Huan. What brings you here so late at night?"

The man cupped his hands and said, "I am here on my master's orders to deliver a letter to Lord Qi. I originally intended to deliver it to your residence, but upon learning that your entire family had left the capital, I rushed here. Fortunately, I managed to catch up, otherwise I would have jeopardized my master's important mission."

Qi Huan frowned and asked, "Who is your master? Do I recognize him?"

The man handed over a letter and said, "My master said that once you read this letter, you will understand everything."

With that, he mounted his horse and rode away that very night.

Qi Huan was very surprised. He opened the envelope and read the letter. His face immediately changed, cold sweat poured down his forehead, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Xue Le helped him up and asked, "Elder Qi, are you alright?"

Qi Huan murmured, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is!"

Zhang Ming asked, "Elder Qi, what exactly was written in the letter that surprised you so much?"

Qi Huan hurriedly gathered the letter and looked at the three men warily, but after only a short while, he sighed and said, "The three of you are not afraid of powerful figures, so you must be upright men. If I were to keep hiding anything, I would appear petty!"

With that, he stretched out his hand behind him, gesturing for them to get into the carriage.

The three men followed Qi Huan into the carriage, and Qi Huan then dismissed everyone else, ordering people to guard the area around the carriage and not allow any unauthorized personnel to approach.

Qi Huan handed over the letter, saying, "This is a secret letter from Gao Lingyun. After you read it, you will know everything. However, the three of you must first swear a solemn oath not to reveal the contents of this letter."

The three nodded and swore an oath one after another. Qi Huan then handed over the letter, which listed the Haotian Sect's conspiracies one by one, from the Iron Fierce War thirty years ago, to the Bai Fei's wrongful conviction, and finally to Cang Shitian's substitution of Li for Tao, replacing the Xia King and ascending to the throne.

After reading it, the three felt a chill run down their spines, and a cold air rose from the soles of their feet, spreading throughout their bodies.

Xue Le lowered his voice and said, "Elder Qi, do you think this letter is credible?"

Qi Huan said, "Alas, the things here are truly unbelievable, yet they make sense. Each event seems unrelated, yet there are inexplicable coincidences. If we connect the events of these past years, then Gao Lingyun's words seem true. Moreover, the letter is signed by Madam Guoyuan, the widow of Grand Secretary Cheng, so it seems genuine." Guo Fei said, "The current invasion by foreign tribes is very similar to the war thirty years ago. If the person on the dragon throne is truly not of Huangfu blood, then these two events can be explained."

Zhang Ming nodded and said, "Brother is right. This emperor treats foreign tribes very well, sending them grain and weapons. This is already unusual."

Guo Fei snorted, "Since that's the case, then let's reveal the truth to the world and let the usurper... " "A treacherous villain deserves the condemnation of the world."

Xue Le was somewhat cautious, and he hurriedly stopped him, saying, "This matter must not be publicized. First of all, without concrete evidence, rashly revealing the truth will only bring about your death. Secondly, if it is truly an evil god who has become emperor, then the farce at the morning court three days ago was very likely his doing."

Qi Huan had been an official for many years and, after learning the truth, had also come to understand many things. He nodded in agreement with Xue Le's words: "What Young Master Xue said is very true. If what is said in the letter is true, then Cang Shitian is definitely a great hero and a great villain. All great villains and evildoers have extraordinary abilities and extraordinary magnanimity, so how could Cang Shitian be so enraged by an article, let alone utter those absurd and ridiculous accusations?"

Guo Fei and Zhang Ming were new to officialdom and did not understand some things. After hearing Qi Huan's words, they felt enlightened.

"Cang Shitian is actually using this as an excuse to eliminate officials who oppose him,"

Qi Huan pointed out incisively. "The officials who can attend the morning court are all important figures in the court, either wielding great power or young talents with immense potential like the three of you. The fifty-three people who have been demoted are either upright and honest or those who originally opposed the Xia King's ascension to the throne. In this way, it's like killing two birds with one stone: eliminating forces that don't belong to him and intimidating those wavering and neutral officials. In time, the entire court will submit to his tyranny. Even if the truth comes out then, Cang Shitian's position will be unshakeable."

Xue Le said, "Elder Qi, this Lord Gao invited you to Jiangnan in his letter to raise the banner of rebellion together." "What are your plans?"

Qi Huan said, "I am also about to die. I have lived for several decades and that is enough. If I can do something great before I die, then my life will not have been in vain! After settling my family, I will go to Jinling to pay my respects to General Long and Princess Huguo!" Xue Le and the other two were filled with enthusiasm and gritted their teeth, saying, "We three are also all alone, so we have no worries. We will also follow Elder Qi to Jiangnan and make a name for ourselves in history!"

Qi Huan nodded and said, "The three of you are indeed heroic young men. I will first write a letter to Lady Guoyuan and Gao Lingyun, and then contact some old friends to join the righteous army!"

Linghu Da stayed behind to guard the fleet and wait for the Cui family's fleet to arrive, while Yue Biao and Ma Yi led 10,000 men ashore and marched quickly towards the Cui family's army.

Scouts reported that the Snow Eagle King's army was not far ahead. Yue Biao immediately perked up and ordered the entire army to prepare for battle.

In the distance, they could see the Western Region barbarian soldiers wading through the water, carrying supplies. Their armor was soaked, and their spirits were low. Most of the earthen walls had collapsed, and the crossbows were still submerged in the water.

Taking advantage of the enemy's lack of respite, Yue Biao drew his battle axe, mounted his White-browed Bear, and roared, "Barbarian dogs, prepare to die!"

He led his army in a charge. Water sources were scarce in the Western Regions, and the land was covered in yellow sand. Few of these barbarian soldiers could swim, and most had already been swept away by the spring floods. Now, facing the Dragonscale Army, who were fighting with their backs to the river, they had no chance of fighting back. They had already lost most of their forces before the battle even began.

King Xueying was alarmed to see the Dragonscale Army return. He mustered his troops for battle, but the Dragonscale Army arrived with overwhelming force, while the Western Region barbarian soldiers were demoralized. The first engagement saw them crumble like a house of cards. Yue Biao, wielding his axe, hacked down the Western Region barbarian soldiers, leaving a trail of floating corpses, turning the water crimson. King Xueying, terrified, immediately led his army in retreat, but the waist-high water greatly slowed their escape.

Yue Biao, however, fought with increasing ferocity, while White-browed Bear, undeterred by the tide, charged forward, creating a splash.

"You dog king, prepare to die!"

Yue Biao roared thunderously, the sound piercing the ears of the barbarian soldiers. King Xueying was so frightened he fell from his horse, only to be caught by Ma Yi, who attacked from the flank and beheaded him.

The Western Region barbarian soldiers were utterly terrified, crying and scattering in all directions.

Yue Biao laughed heartily, "Brother Ma, beheading the Western Regions' dog king with a single stroke is truly a great achievement!"

Ma Yi picked up the head, wrapped it in his cloak, and carried it with him, saying happily, "This time, we owe a great debt to Brother Yue's command!"

The Western Regions' barbarian troops suffered a crushing defeat. Yue Biao ordered his men to retrieve the sun-shooting crossbows from the water, and then selected elite soldiers from the crossbow battalion to practice the weapon's usage.

The Dragon Scale Army retrieved enemy supplies, rested briefly, then selected useful items to carry, discarding the rest, and continued their frantic march. In just three hours, the Dragon Scale Army, like a swift blade, forcefully broke through the alien coalition's defenses, fighting from east to west, killing and seizing supplies, using war to sustain themselves, and constantly closing in on the Cui family's army.

As evening approached, they finally arrived at the Cui family's camp. Cui Xuanyi was leading the troops this time. Upon learning of Yue Biao and the others' arrival, he immediately came out to greet them, asking, "General Yue, why have you come to my western front?"

Yue Biao sighed and recounted the events at Qingyu River. Cui Xuanyi exclaimed in surprise, "That Iron-Fisted Grand Preceptor actually managed to slay a dragon bare-handed?"

Yue Biao replied, "Our plan to advance along the waterway has been shelved. Our only option now is to join forces with Young Master Cui to jointly relieve Shuofeng."

Cui Xuanyi nodded, "Very well. Let's discuss our next move."

He then invited them into his command tent.

Shuofeng City was in ruins. The allied forces of the foreign tribes had launched numerous attacks, unleashing a barrage of sharp weapons. The soldiers of Iron Wall Pass suffered heavy casualties, and the city gates were breached several times. Fortunately, Liu Guanglin led his troops in a valiant fight, barely managing to repel the enemy.

Several breaches had appeared in the city wall, but thanks to the spontaneous efforts of the people of Shuofeng, who dismantled their own furniture and walls to fill the gaps, the city was barely holding on.

Murong Xi, covered in blood, leaned against the city wall, his eyes closed in respite. Beside him lay a bloodstained military knife, its blade chipped in several places. Suddenly, footsteps approached. Murong Xi snapped his eyes open, like a taut bowstring, and leaped to his feet, gripping the knife. After days of fierce fighting, he had developed this instinctive reaction to battle.

"It's me, General Murong!"

A gentle voice tinged with a hint of coquettishness rang out. The newcomer was Beicheng Lu. Having defended the besieged city for many days, her clothes were stained with dust and blood, her hair disheveled, but this did not detract from her beauty; instead, it added a touch of serene, poignant beauty.

Murong Xi put down his saber, took a breath, and laughed, "Sixth Sister, why didn't you rest down there? Why did you come up?" Bei Chenglu rolled her eyes at him and scolded, "I came to call you down. It's time for the change of guard!"

Murong Xi glanced around and saw that it was indeed time for the change of guard. He put away his saber and followed Bei Chenglu down the city wall.

Shuofeng City was now a city where everyone was a soldier; all able-bodied men were armored and armed. Even back in the residential area, one could see many soldiers in armor.

Murong Xi was temporarily staying in a small house. The house was small, containing only a stone bed and a stone table. Wooden stools, chests, and other furniture had been dismantled to repair the city wall.

Bei Chenglu brought a basin of water, dampened a towel, and wiped his face. Her fair hands holding the rough towel had a certain charm. She wasn't wearing any makeup, and her natural beauty was even more captivating. The baptism of war had also given her a mature tranquility.

Murong Xi took the towel and asked, "Sixth Sister, have you eaten?"

Bei Chenglu replied, "I ate with the women in the city."

While the young and strong men went to the front lines to fight the enemy, the women provided support from the rear, cooking, boiling water, bandaging, and preparing medicine. Bei Chenglu lived and ate with these women, taking care of the city's logistics and protecting these vulnerable women.

Murong Xi held her soft hand and said, "Sixth Sister, you've really suffered this time."

Bei Chenglu leaned gently against him and said sweetly, "You were fighting on the city wall, covered in blood, while I was just helping out from the rear. It's nothing."

Murong Xi held her tightly and said, "Sixth Sister, don't worry, I will never let those bandits in, and I will never let you get hurt in the slightest."

Bei Chenglu's eyes were slightly red, and she whispered, "I know, I was so afraid that something might really happen to you..." Murong Xi quickly lowered his head to kiss her and comforted her, "It's alright, silly girl. In the battle, my cultivation has even reached a new level."

Bei Chenglu pouted and said, "Bragging, aren't you afraid of being exposed?"

Murong Xi said with a grin, "You don't believe me?"

Bei Chenglu said, "No!"

"Then let's verify it ourselves!"

Murong Xi smiled mischievously, his hand reaching down to touch her shapely buttocks.

Bei Chenglu blushed and scolded, "What time is it? Still being so indecent!"

Murong Xi didn't pull away, but instead pinched her buttocks with his fingers. Bei Chenglu let out a soft moan and reached behind her to stop his mischievous hand.

Unexpectedly, Murong Xi's other hand came to cause trouble again, grasping the girl's round and firm buttocks. Bei Chenglu let out a soft moan, her eyes shimmering with tears, her face burning with embarrassment.

"You naughty thing...you want to bully me again!"

Bei Chenglu bit her lips, scolding shyly.

Murong Xi lowered his head to kiss her jade-like neck and said, "It's because Lu'er is so beautiful that I can't help but want to tease her a little."

Although Bei Chenglu hadn't washed or groomed herself for several days, she was naturally beautiful, and having bathed in fragrant flowers and dew since childhood, her skin exuded a subtle fragrance. Murong Xi didn't notice any odor at all; instead, his lips tasted refreshingly sweet.

The days of fighting had left him feeling incredibly repressed. Now, with the beauty in his arms, Murong Xi couldn't resist pouring out his emotions. He embraced Bei Chenglu's delicate body and kissed her luscious red lips. Bei Chenglu was initially startled and struggled slightly, but Murong Xi's kiss, biting her lips and teasing her tongue, quickly ignited her passion. She slowly closed her beautiful eyes and let him do as he pleased.

Their lips parted, and Bei Chenglu's lips glistened with moisture, making them even more translucent. A thin silver thread hung between them, a delicate connection.

Bei Chenglu gave him a reproachful look and said, "You, fighting for days, aren't you tired?"

Murong Xi laughed, "I told you, your fiancé is getting stronger with each battle. After these days of training, my inner strength has become even deeper and purer."

Bei Chenglu said shyly, "You rascal...you're so unserious!"

Murong Xi gently stroked her hair and said softly, "Sixth Sister, my dear Lu'er, may your Third Brother kiss you one more time?"

Bei Cheng Lu replied, "Only one more kiss."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

He then kissed Bei Cheng Lu's snowy cheek, but it was as if he were pressing against it, moving from her cheek to her jade-like neck, and then sliding down to the woman's full, firm breasts.

Bei Cheng Lu's breasts were warmed by his breath, and her heart felt a tingling sensation. She punched him lightly and said, "You've gone too far! We agreed on just one kiss."

Murong Xi lay between her soft breasts, sucking on the faint fragrance of her milk, and said, "My mouth hasn't left her the whole time, so it only counts as one kiss."

Bei Cheng Lu was both amused and exasperated. She wanted to push him away but couldn't bear to, so she let him continue his antics.

Murong Xi intensified his actions, reaching out to grasp one of her tender breasts and caressing it through her clothes. Bei Chenglu, having spent years traveling the martial world and diligently practicing martial arts, possessed skin that, while not as smooth as that of a typical young lady, was firm, taut, and supple .

"Third Brother…"

Bei Chenglu could no longer contain herself, her breath coming in hot gasps, her body trembling.

She was wearing a tight-fitting warrior's robe that perfectly accentuated her curves, making her exquisitely alluring, especially her breasts, which resembled two firm peaks, with two faintly visible nipples.

Murong Xi's movements were swift; taking advantage of Bei Chenglu's inattention, he loosened his belt, peeling his robe off her shoulders to reveal her snow-white, fragrant shoulders and a dark blue bodice, bulging and emitting a delicate feminine fragrance.

Murong Xi took a deep breath of the fragrance, pushed up his bodice, and freed his two firm, jade-like breasts. The climate at Iron Wall Pass was still quite cold, and the cold wind caused goosebumps to rise on his breasts, making his areolas tense and highlighting the nipples even more.

What a charming and chivalrous woman from the Jiangnan water towns! Bei Chenglu had a slender and graceful figure, her breasts not large or plump, but rather delicate like a moist peach blossom. However, she possessed a more heroic air than Qin Suya. Her skin was taut and smooth, her breasts delicate like bamboo shoots, and her areolas, the size of copper coins, were fresh and pink, instantly adorable. This ignited Murong Xi's desire, and he bent down to suckle them alternately.

Bei Chenglu's heart trembled with desire, her body filled with longing. She wrapped her jade arms tightly around Murong Xi's neck, offering him her full tenderness and affection.

Murong Xi reached out to undo her belt, but Bei Chenglu quickly stopped him, saying, "Third Brother... don't mess up my clothes . I need to meet up with Aunt Wang later; there are some things to take care of back there.

" Murong Xi said, "Sixth Sister, don't worry, Third Brother will be careful. Turn around, let's try not to take off our clothes." Bei Chenglu placed her jade-like hand on his shoulder, nodded shyly, and obediently turned around, lying on the stone bed, sticking out her round buttocks, striking a charming and seductive pose.

Murong Xi wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind. Her waist was firm and rounded, easily encircled, yet possessed extraordinary explosive power; she was truly a beauty. He casually untied her belt and pulled Bei Chenglu's pants down a little, revealing her snow-white, full-moon-like buttocks. The two plump, round buttocks squeezed tightly inward, creating an alluring cleft. A sweat towel shyly covered the spring light in the crevice, but it clung tightly to the protrusion between her thighs, vaguely revealing the shape of her two fleshy lips.

Murong Xi reached out and pressed down on her, eliciting a soft moan from Bei Chenglu. He ran his fingers between her labia, lightly kissing her cool, smooth buttocks. A moment later, his fingertips felt a slippery sensation, and a damp patch appeared in the center of his handkerchief.

"Stop it, you bad boy..."

Bei Chenglu's eyes were filled with desire as she turned back, her breath hot and fragrant.

Murong Xi swallowed hard, lifted the hem of his robe, unfastened his armor, and pulled down his trousers, revealing his already erect penis. He first rubbed it between Bei Chenglu's buttocks for a moment, and when she could no longer contain her moan, he immediately lifted the handkerchief and thrust it into her.

*Ugh!* Bei Chenglu, blushing with shame, endured the blows, but fearing to alert outsiders, dared not utter a sound. She could only bite her hand, lying prone on the stone bed, her snow-white breasts swelling into two hemispheres with each downward thrust, her areolas bright red, her nipples trembling playfully. Her snow-white buttocks and jade thighs were sometimes rounded, sometimes flattened, by Murong Xi's thrusts, the white, fleshy waves incredibly alluring.

As his jade stem penetrated deeper, the woman's crotch became a mess, her juices flowing down her inner thighs, wetting her trousers that had slipped down to her knees, quickly forming a small puddle in her groin

. Her pubic hair, damp with the juices, clung to her lover's hair, reluctant to part. Murong Xi reached down, grasping Bei Chenglu's two drooping breasts, feeling their heat and firmness. He continued thrusting, eliciting soft moans from the beauty, her hair disheveled, her pink back glistening with sweat, like snow illuminated by moonlight.

"Third Brother...give it to me!"

Bei Chenglu was as beautiful as if she were floating on clouds. She reached out and hooked her arms around Murong Xi's neck, turning her head to offer him a sweet kiss.

Murong Xi kissed her deeply, his hands caressing her breasts, while his lower body pressed tightly against her pink hips, his glans thrusting hard into her flower palace.

Bei Chenglu's love surged, her desire raging, and in the blink of an eye, she reached orgasm, a stream of vaginal fluid pouring down, causing Murong Xi's lower back to ache and numb. Hot semen gushed out one after another, scalding the woman with extreme pleasure.

"Sixth Sister, you're getting more and more charming..."

"Third Brother, promise me you'll live no matter what..."

"For my Lu'er, this Third Young Master will never die, and we'll have a whole bunch of kids."

"No way! Do you think I'm a sow?!"

"Hehe, it's not your place to say no. I've already planted my seed inside, little Lu'er, get ready to give birth!"

"You bad guy... Waaah, you actually shot so much inside, it's bloating me! I hate you!"

Though the time was short, their bodies and minds were intertwined, a spring breeze swept through, exhilarating and unrestrained.

In the fifth chapter, a fierce battle

against the Jiangnan Dragon Scale Army, inside the commander's mansion, Mu Xin'er personally visited again, and Long Hui received her with great respect.

Upon entering, Mu Xin'er went straight to the point, handing over a letter and saying, "Long Hui, this is a secret letter from Grand Scholar Qi Huan, and Scholar Xue, among others."

Long Hui took it and read, "General Long Hui, Cang Shitian has usurped the throne and expelled loyal officials. If you do not abandon us, we are willing to sacrifice our lives to help you restore order and restore justice to our Great Heng Dynasty."

Mu Xin'er said, "Grand Scholar Qi has already contacted many loyal and righteous men, preparing to go south to join the Longlin Army. This letter was secretly passed to me by him, entrusting me to deliver it to you."

Chu Wanbing asked curiously, "Master's wife, how could Grand Scholar Qi, a mere scholar, manage to get the letter through the heavy blockade of the imperial army to Jinling?" Mu Xin'er said

, "Yaxuanzhai was founded by Grand Scholar Qi, specializing in books on literature, poetry, and other subjects, and it is quite famous. He has invited some literary giants and scholars to invest in it to increase his prestige and reputation. I am one of the owners, and he..." The secret letter was hidden in a book and transported to Jinling through this route. Although Jinling was under blockade, the focus was on grain, iron ore, and timber; the guards didn't bother with books and paintings.

Chu Wanbing said "Oh," and then asked, "Master's wife, has Lord Gao Hong also invested?"

Mu Xin'er said, "Ling Yun's literary talent is known throughout the land, so Scholar Qi will naturally invite him to invest. Bing'er, why do you ask this?"

Chu Wanbing said, "Bing'er just wanted to give my husband more secret channels to contact the outside world, so I asked a few questions. Please don't be offended, Master's wife."

Mu Xin'er smiled and said, "Bing'er is virtuous and considerate, always thinking of her husband. I like you more than anything, how could I blame you!"

Chu Wanbing said, "Master's wife, my husband and I will discuss Lord Qi's matter first and draft a detailed plan. We'll give you an answer later, okay?"

Mu Xin'er said, "No problem. Then I'll take my leave now."

After Mu Xin'er left, Chu Wanbing casually picked up the secret letter, glanced at it, and asked, "Little thief, news came from Lianyi's Sparrow Shadow Division that Cang Shitian used Qi Huan and those people as bait to purge another batch of officials, essentially punishing them collectively, and confiscating all their property."

Long Hui said, "Bing'er, tell me in detail, what positions did these officials hold? What were their family circumstances like?"

Chu Wanbing smiled and said, "You little thief, you're quite shrewd. I haven't even said anything yet, and you've already guessed what I'm thinking." Long Hui feigned anger

and said, "You little vixen, your mind is so twisted, how could you bring up the matter of confiscating property for no reason? Quickly confess honestly, or I'll make your buttocks bleed!"

As he spoke, he reached out and slapped her plump, round buttocks.

Chu Wanbing giggled and said, "You're not stupid. These officials are all idle people who only eat and do nothing, but they occupy some lucrative positions. Huangfu Wuji and Prince Qi wanted to deal with these people before they died, but they were too busy to do so, so they let them live freely until now, which gave Cang Shitian a good opportunity."

Long Hui said, "Cang Shitian seems to have made a lot of money by confiscating their property from house to house."

Chu Wanbing shook her head and said, "Not at all. Cang Shitian distributed all these people's property to the soldiers on the front lines. From the commander-in-chief to the centurion, everyone received a reward, and he also freed up many vacant positions."

Long Hui said, "Cang Shitian's methods of confiscating the property of idle people are quite ruthless. Back then, Huangfu Wuji was also extremely dissatisfied with these idle people, but he kept putting it off because of the power behind them. Now that the court is at war with us, he can use the war to divert attention." The internal conflicts within the court and the impact of the dismissal of officials have diminished. Chu Wanbing nodded and said, "Yes, in this sensitive period, anyone who dares to stand up for these idle people will immediately be labeled a traitor. Cang Shitian's move can be considered using someone else to do his dirty work." Long Hui

agreed, "He didn't pocket the money he confiscated, but distributed it to the soldiers on the front lines. In this way, he has won over a group of military officers, and those roughnecks are even more grateful to him, the new emperor."

Chu Wanbing said, "The Sparrow Shadow Division also sent back news that the soldiers' salaries on the front lines have doubled. I suspect that Cang Shitian has added all of these salaries to the soldiers on the front lines."

Long Hui said, "That is indeed possible. As long as Cang Shitian can win over the military officers, he can both consolidate his throne and launch a full-scale attack on us."

Chu Wanbing sighed softly, her eyes sparkling with a seductive light, as if she was thinking about something.

Long Hui hugged her slender waist and asked, "Bing'er, do you think your husband should accept Qi Huan, Xue Le, and the others?"

Chu Wanbing replied, "Yes! They are all civil officials, very skilled in governing domestic affairs. But for Cang Shitian, there are countless civil officials in the court, many of whom are adept at managing politics and finances, so he doesn't hesitate to discard them. However, our domestic affairs are almost entirely managed by Sister Die, while the criminal law is handled by Dean Mu Tianqing. There is inevitably a shortage of manpower, which is always a weak point. These civil officials are just the right thing to do."

Long Hui affectionately pinched her cheek and said softly, "Bing'er, are you really..." "You are my wise and capable wife. With you by my side, I am better than a million soldiers."

Chu Wanbing said coquettishly, "Don't flatter me. In terms of internal affairs and finance, I am not as good as Sister Die; in terms of military campaigns, I am not as good as Lingyu; in terms of spell formations, I am not as good as Birou and Wuhen; and in terms of intelligence, I am not as good as Sister Lianyi. How can

I be better than a million soldiers?" Long Hui kissed her earlobe and said, "But as long as Bing'er is here, I will not make any mistakes in principle. As the saying goes, with a woman in hand, I have the world. That is exactly what you, Bing'er, are like."

The young couple cuddled for a while, and then invited everyone to discuss important matters.

Upon hearing that Qi Huan and other civil officials were coming to join them, Cui Die was overjoyed and smiled radiantly, saying, "That's wonderful! With these civil officials, we can better recuperate and stabilize our internal affairs."

Bai Lingyu frowned and said, "But we are already heavily surrounded by Cang Shitian. It won't be easy to communicate with the outside world. The only land route is through Liaodong and Tiebi Pass, but Tiebi Pass is currently under fierce fighting, so this route is effectively cut off. As for the waterway, although Cang Shitian can't defeat our navy, he has blockaded all ports and forbids anyone from approaching the waterways without authorization. Violators will be punished for treason. It will be very difficult for Lord Qi and his men to enter our territory."

Chu Wanbing recalled the map left by the King of Qi and asked, "Husband, does the map left by His Highness the King of Qi record a secret passage that can pass through most of Xiangzhu?"

Long Hui nodded and said, "Indeed, there is a valley between Cangshi and Xiangzhu." "The forest path is extremely treacherous and quite secluded. If we can make good use of it, we can definitely deceive the enemy."

Bai Lingyu said, "I know this mountain path. It is very steep, with many dense forests and steep slopes. The path is surrounded by steep slopes and trees. It wouldn't be difficult to hide 30,000 to 50,000 people around it. If someone were to ambush them on both sides, those on the path would have a nine-out-of-ten chance of death!"

Long Hui said, "In that case, we must be even more careful to conceal our whereabouts."

After discussing the matter, Long Hui invited Mu Xin'er and Gao Hong to the commander's mansion and said, "I have made a decision. I invite Qi Huan and other scholars to Jinling to discuss important matters. I will personally lead troops to meet the distinguished guests. There is a secluded and hidden mountain valley path about 30 li west of Xiangzhu. It is a good way to enter Cangcheng territory. I will send troops to meet them. Please ask my master's wife and senior brother to tell Lord Qi and Scholar Xue that we will meet at the mountain valley path in ten days!"

After saying that, he handed over a map and added, "This is..." "Give me the map of the mountain valley and forest path, but be very careful not to leak it."

Mu Xin'er took the map and nodded, "Long Hui, don't worry. Although we are scholars, we have our own methods for transmitting information, which can deceive the enemy."

Chu Wanbing asked curiously, "Master's wife, what method is this? It's so ingenious."

Mu Xin'er explained, "It's actually about hiding information in the text, leaving clues in the poems, and then interpreting the true meaning of the text by following the clues."

Chu Wanbing asked, "If an outsider is also a master of literature, wouldn't it be difficult to hide the information?"

Mu Xin'er smiled and said, "There's no need to worry about that. Even if someone is exceptionally talented, if they are not familiar with Lord Qi's habits, they simply won't be able to guess the meaning."

Yu Wuhen interjected, "This is somewhat similar to the art of numerology."

Mu Xin'er smiled and said, "Wuhen, you're mistaken. The art of numerology has rules to follow, but poetry..." "The poems and lyrics are ever-changing and imaginative; only those who know the inside story can detoxify them."

Chu Wanbing frowned and said, "Master's wife, now you are the only channel through which we can communicate with Lord Qi. Please forgive me for being powerless. If you fall ill during this time, it may affect our rendezvous and rescue."

Mu Xin'er smiled and said, "When Master was alive, he and Lord Qi used literature to solve riddles with each other. Over time, they developed this secret method of hiding mysteries in the text. I have been by Master's side for many years and have learned it. Lingyun is Master's favorite disciple, so he has naturally learned these methods as well. Bing'er, you don't need to worry."

Chu Wanbing said "Oh," and turned to Gao Hong, "Then I will have to trouble you, Lord Gao, in the future."

Gao Hong humbly returned the greeting, "Sister-in-law, you are too kind. This is Lingyun's duty."

Chu Wanbing smiled and said, "Everyone is tired from talking. I will go and prepare some tea and pastries."

After saying that, she went out.

Long Hui continued discussing with Bai Lingyu, "Lingyu, who should we send for the rendezvous this time?"

Bai Lingyu replied, "This rendezvous is a secret operation and cannot be publicized. Although Xu Hu is a talented general, he is young and impetuous, and his actions are somewhat rash, so he is not suitable. Although the others are brave in battle, they are not quite up to this kind of delicate task. Ling Xiao and Feng Wangchen have already returned to Muzhou to guard the city, which is in the south and north of Xiangzhu, so they are not easy to mobilize. That leaves only the three generals Wang Dong, Liang Ming, and Sun De. Their troops are stationed in nearby cities and counties, and they are steady in their actions, so it would be best to have them provide the rendezvous."

At this moment, Chu Wanbing rushed in, having prepared no tea or snacks. Her face pale, she handed over a slip of paper, saying, "Husband, Yue Biao just sent back military intelligence."

Long Hui's expression changed drastically upon seeing it. He sighed and said, "Master's wife, Senior Brother Gao, there are too many troubles here. You two should go back to the manor to rest."

Mu Xin'er nodded, "Since Long Hui has urgent matters to attend to, Master's wife will not disturb you any longer."

Gao Hong said, "Then I will also take my leave!"

Long Hui grunted, clasped his hands together to support his forehead, seemingly extremely troubled. He then said, "Order Wang Dong, Liang Ming, and Sun De to lead 30,000 troops to reinforce Yue Biao immediately. We must break through the enemy's encirclement and relieve Shuofeng!"

Through the window, Chu Wanbing looked at the sky and sighed, "The thunderclouds over Jinling still haven't dissipated. That Zihe is truly despicable, bringing such a vast expanse of thunderclouds. We can't even fly up..." "Forget it, I'm worried about being struck by lightning even when I'm sleeping."

Lin Birou said, "Bing'er, don't worry. Wuhen and I have figured out the true nature of the thunderclouds, and we can dispel them in less than three days."

Chu Wanbing smiled, leaned close to their ears and whispered a few words. The two beauties looked troubled, lowered their heads and pondered. Finally, Yu Wuhen spoke up, "These thunderclouds are controlled by Taoist magic, which is very different from the magic we have studied. I'm afraid you can't do what Bing'er asked."

Chu Wanbing murmured, "Taoism, Taoism..."

Suddenly she smiled sweetly, threw a flirtatious look at Long Hui, and said, "Husband, you'll have to work hard today..."

The next day, Long Hui's military order was issued. Wang Dong, Liang Ming, and Sun De led an army of 30,000, boarded warships, and sailed from the Chu River and Chishui River basins into Linghai, heading towards Liaodong by sea. Their armor gleamed, their swords were menacing, and their momentum was overwhelming, showing the strength of their army.

Moreover, this operation involved over a hundred dragons, an unprecedented undertaking. The roars and cries of dragons echoed continuously from the Chu River and Chishui River, causing chaos throughout the Jiangnan waterways. Fish and shrimp fled in terror, and the people on the shore were terrified, none daring to try and catch the fleeing creatures.

Qiu Baifei and Zhang Huanyu, believing the Dragon Scale Army was about to attack, hastily ordered their entire army to be on high alert. Soldiers in each camp were on high alert, never removing their armor or weapons, preparing for a fierce battle.

After several days, Qiu Baifei learned that this force was heading north to provide reinforcements. Taking advantage of the Dragon Scale Army's division of forces, he launched another attack. He mobilized 100,000 troops, assisted by the elite Confucian scholars under Yin Fangxi and Jin Ziyi, and launched a relentless assault day and night on the four cities of Danjun, Hezhou, Kungang, and Suming, determined to reclaim lost territory and avenge their defeat.

If the four cities fall, Muzhou will once again face the threat of the enemy's advance. Facing this strategic location, Long Hui showed no mercy, directly ordering Ling Xiao to lead the army to resist and keep the enemy's fighting outside Muzhou.

The war raged fiercely, and Dan County, being closest to the imperial army, bore the brunt of the attack.

Ling Xiao personally led his army to meet the enemy. The 30,000 Dragonscale Army, using the city walls as cover, fiercely resisted the enemy, determined to keep the war at their doorstep.

Ling Xiao drew his sword, stomped his foot, and summoned a powerful thunderbolt, cleaving all the ladders erected on the city walls.

"Traitor, prepare to die!"

Several generals of the Western Regions army rode to the city walls, pointing at Ling Xiao in a provocative manner. Ling Xiao chuckled, jumped down, and drew his sword to attack. He first plunged his sword into the ground, from which raging flames erupted—the True Essence of the Blazing Sun.

With a surge of fiery energy, Ling Xiao unleashed two slashes of sword energy, cleaving these reckless fools in two at the waist. The flames burned the wounds, stopping the bleeding. Though not immediately dead, they writhed in agony, wailing and howling.

Ling Xiao intentionally used this cruel move to intimidate the enemy. These half-dead men, their cries of agony, spread fear to the others.

The Western Region army's courage faltered, and they instinctively slowed their advance. Enraged, Zhang Huanyu ordered his men to execute the cowards, thus pushing the army back.

Ling Xiao's blade swirled, drawing lightning to aid his attack. Anyone within ten paces was instantly reduced to charred remains.

One man, one blade, Ling Xiao's power was unassailable, and his soldiers fought with increasing ferocity, forcing the imperial army to retreat.

Seeing that a direct assault was futile, Qiu Baifei brought out massive stone cannons, intending to breach the city walls from a distance. However, Feng Wangchen was one step ahead, immediately bringing out cannons improved by Yue Junwan before the stone cannons could even be deployed.

"Men, blast those stone cannons!"

Feng Wangchen pointed his feather fan at the towering stone cannons.

Such massive targets were perfect targets for the Divine Fire Camp. The cannons roared in unison, countless streaks of fire piercing the sky, instantly shattering the stone cannons into pieces, the fragments crushing nearby soldiers.

One stone cannon was hit by an oil-burning cart, triggering an even larger explosion that caused over a hundred casualties.

These cannons, improved from the Refining Divine Pagoda, had an extremely long range, forcing the imperial court to keep their heads down. With

the first day's battle stalled, Qiu Baifei requested Yin Fangxi and Jin Ziyi to lead the elite troops of the three sects to assist in the battle. With the Confucian sect's evil-sealing carts defending the front, the battle formation was pushed forward, allowing the main army in the rear to approach the city walls.

Feng Wangchen sneered, "Let's see how long you can hold out!"

Because the distance was too close, bombarding with artillery might damage his own soldiers, so he ordered his men to use the Thunderclap Crossbows for sniping.

The steel prongs fired from the Thunderclap Crossbows were made of Canghai Firestone; upon impact, they would burst into flames, burning fiercely. Under this barrage of attacks, the Demon-Suppressing Chariot had reached its limit. When it was only three hundred paces from the city wall, it could no longer withstand the damage and was shattered into pieces. The

instant the chariot was destroyed, several figures darted out, moving with lightning speed, covering the three hundred paces in the blink of an eye, and instantly reaching the top of the city wall.

Those who had ascended the wall were none other than the two Vajra Guardians of Buddhism, the Disaster-Removing and Poison-Repelling Guardians, and the three Qi Refining Masters of Taoism: Lingyinzi, Dansong Daoist, and Liudushi. The five of them split up: the two Vajra Guardians engaged Lingxiao, the three Qi Refining Masters blocked Feng Wangchen, and together they used the power of Buddhism and Taoism to resist Panlong Wenwu.

At the same time, a figure emerged from the remnants of the Demon-Suppressing Chariot Formation, wielding a powerful bow and sharp arrows. It was Feng Yi, the Archery Master. He casually plucked the string, and the arrow flew like a meteor, its trajectory wild and unrestrained, shattering all the cannons on the city wall.

With the threat of cannons gone, the remaining six Vajras and eighteen Arhats pressed forward with overwhelming force, showcasing the elite fighting power of the Buddhist sect.

The eight Vajras and eighteen Arhats converged on the city wall, displaying both martial prowess and Buddhist brilliance. Ling Xiao single-handedly fought against the eight Vajras, while Feng Wangchen, riding the Boundless Wind Form, roamed among the eighteen Arhats. The Vajras sealed the Martial King, and the Arhats trapped Zhi Liu. Just when the situation was critical, three powerful palm strikes entered the battlefield, relieving the siege of the Wen and Wu duo.

Looking back, a pair of stunningly beautiful women gracefully arrived, with a cold-faced man standing beside them. They were Lin Birou, Yu Wuhen, and Mu Tianqing.

Feng Wangchen laughed, "The three of you have arrived just in time. Let these bald monks and thieving Taoists witness the strength of our Panlong Sacred Lineage!"

Mu Tianqing snorted and took the lead with a palm strike, unleashing a magnificent attack of the God-Slaying Palm, aimed directly at the two Vajras, Huang Suiqiu and Bai Jingshui.

Shuangfo flicked his sleeves to deflect the fierce palm strike, letting out a long shout as he gathered his energy to meet the attack.

On the other side, Lin Birou smiled charmingly, her red lips softly reciting, "Drawing in energy and condensing qi, breaking through the formation for ten thousand miles, the sea wind rises with thunder and flames!"

With a light wave of her jade hand, her energy surged forth, unleashing the four-scroll combo of Sea Wind Thunder and Flames. The four scrolls of energy would first disperse the Deer-Sitting Arhat, the Bowl-Holding Arhat, the Pagoda-Bearing Arhat, and the Elephant-Riding Arhat.

At this moment, the Cloth Bag Arhat raised his magic weapon, and a cloth bag as large as a water bucket descended from the sky. The cloth bag was of a peculiar texture, incredibly flexible, and could actually neutralize the energy of the four true scrolls. Lin Birou raised a cold eyebrow, pinched her jade fingers, and used the Armor-Piercing Sharp Finger of the Breaking Scroll, piercing through the cloth bag's blockade with a single strike.

Seeing that the magical artifact was damaged, the Cloth Bag Arhat quickly activated his Buddha light to repair it. The cloth bag suddenly grew three feet larger, and swastika seals flashed inside the bag. The seals formed an array and absorbed Lin Birou's vital energy one by one.

Lin Birou's beautiful eyes sharpened as she unleashed another extraordinary technique. She interlocked her right thumb and ring finger, and her left thumb and middle finger, instantly enveloping her in a burst of lightning. With a whoosh, several sharp beams shot out – the Swift Thunder Finger from the Scroll of Thunder. The finger force shot out like arrows, carrying electric and thunderous power, first shattering the cloth bag, then breaking the Buddhist aura.

"Bald monk, take another palm strike!"

Lin Birou cried out, her fingers forming a blade as she unleashed the Dark Current Slash from the Scroll of the Sea. The palm strike appeared ordinary, but contained a violent flow of energy. The Cloth Bag Arhat raised his hand to receive the attack, but the sharp true energy coiled around him, slicing him bloody and forcing him to retreat.

With their fellow disciple injured, the other Arhats were unwilling to give up and surrounded them. Lin Birou giggled and used the Thunder Step to avoid their attack. At this moment, Yu Wuhen stepped in to fill the gap. She took out the Fish-Dragon Silk and poured her true energy into it. She casually waved the silk ribbon, which created a vortex of air. This move used softness to overcome hardness and swirl to trap the enemy. The Long-Browed Arhat, the Gatekeeper Arhat, and the Sitting Arhat were the first to be hit and were spun around.

Lin Birou laughed, "Junior sister, you have quite the skills! Let me join in the fun too!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she approached the Laughing Lion Arhat, the Happy Arhat, and the Reaching Hand Arhat like a ghost. The three Arhats smelled the fragrance and felt a strange sense of crisis. They instinctively raised their palms to meet the attack, but this was the moment Lin Birou had been waiting for. She stretched out her hands and drew a circle in front of her chest. The three Arhats felt as if they had hit cotton. They could not exert any strength at all. Their bodies were trapped in a spiral airflow. They felt dizzy and disoriented. Their lower body was unbalanced. Their true energy was also spinning with the airflow. The three of them turned ashen-white, white smoke curled from their heads, and blood spilled from the corners of their mouths.

Ling Xiao, who was engaged in fierce combat, recognized the origin of this move. It was a fusion of the Vortex Flow and the Gentle Wind Tai Chi Circle. He had been injured by this move before, and a competitive spirit arose in his heart. So he angrily activated his inner energy, and his moves became wide and powerful. Ever since he was defeated by Lin Birou, he had worked hard and cultivated day and night. Finally, he abandoned the martial arts of the Thunder and Flame Scrolls and

created his own new moves. He pointed his left hand and thrust it fiercely at Dingchi Zai Jingang. Dingchi Zai Jingang held his palm with the swastika seal and guarded his position. Unexpectedly, as soon as he received the attack, a bolt of lightning force pierced through his Buddhist energy barrier like a needle, causing him to feel sore all over. This move was called "Thunder Light Cracks Fang". It gathered the lightning force into a point and transformed his palm into the shape of sharp teeth, mimicking the way a beast bites its prey, and broke through the protective energy.

Lightning flashed and tore through the protective energy. Ling Xiao transformed his palm into a fist, adding another "Thunderous Fist," a simple and direct uppercut that sent Ding Chizai flying into the air, leaving him weak and unsteady. Then, he condensed fire in his palms and, just as Ding Chizai was about to fall, thrust them out, striking him squarely in the chest and dantian. This move was called "Iron Sand Blazing Palm."

Although this palm technique evolved from the most ordinary Iron Sand Palm, under the power of Ling Xiao's internal energy, it was magnificent, fierce, and powerful, devoid of any fancy moves, aiming only to kill the enemy in one strike.

Ding Chizai was struck and sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string. Zi Xian Vajra quickly stepped forward, thrusting out his palms to block Ding Chizai's back, using his shared Buddhist energy to help him deflect the force of the palm strike and quickly expel the stagnant blood, restoring his vital energy.

Both originated from the same source, their inner power complementing each other. Dingchi Zai Jingang's complexion quickly regained its rosy hue, his injuries were reduced by 70%, and his fighting strength remained unaffected.

Ling Xiao's fighting spirit surged, and the Thunder and Flame True Essence within his body rapidly merged. He drew thunder from the left and gathered flames from the right, launching a powerful attack from both sides, forcing Dingchi Zai Jingang to retreat. Zi Xian Jingang immediately injected his true energy into Dingchi Zai Jingang's body, combining the inner strength of the two to resist Ling Xiao's powerful attack.

Dingchi Zai Jingang pushed out with both palms, intending to block Ling Xiao's palm force, but as soon as they made contact, they felt a great force coming from him. The two Jingangs were forced to retreat continuously, their inner energy chaotic, and they almost vomited blood. At this moment, Da Shen Jingang rushed over again, pressing his palms behind Zi Xian Jingang and injecting true energy, using triple Buddhist power to repel the power of thunder and flame.

Facing the combined power of the three Buddhas, Ling Xiao was not afraid. He released his inner energy, and his inner power poured out like a mountain torrent, simultaneously shaking the three Jingangs off the city wall.

The five masters of the Panlong Sacred Lineage joined forces against the enemy, gaining a temporary advantage. However, the enemy outnumbered them, with Buddhist and Taoist forces joining the fight from above and Confucianists providing support from below. Most troublesome of all was Feng Yi's occasional sneak attacks with hidden arrows. The five had to be extra cautious. Le Ning used the Heavenly Gang Qin Formation to restore the true energy of the wounded masters. Whenever a master was knocked down from the city wall, they immediately retreated back into their formation, using the music to heal their injuries before charging back up again.

The battle, which had just turned the tide, was once again in a losing position. At the same time, a sharp, strange cry rang out from the sky, attracting the attention of everyone on the battlefield. The clouds slowly dispersed, revealing a colossal bird, shaped like a crane, with only one leg, red markings, a blue body, and a white beak. A purple crane perched atop it, and above the eagle was a Confucianist arrow formation led by Yin Fangxi and Jin Ziyi.

"Traitors and traitors, today I, this humble Taoist, will bury your dog lives!"

Zihe coldly shouted, flicking his whisk and conjuring up the energy of the Four Symbols, his overwhelming power pressing directly towards the Dan County rebel army.

The sky was sealed off, greatly boosting the morale of the imperial army. Fierce beast cavalry, heavily armored cavalry, infantry formations, and iron-blooded cavalry... all kinds of troops were deployed, displaying their various weapons, all aimed at the city of Dan County. Meanwhile, masters of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism also stepped forward, relying on their superb martial arts to dominate the battlefield. The Eighteen Arhats and Eight Vajras restrained the five masters of the Panlong Sacred Vein, while Lingyinzi, Dansong Daoist, the Six Solitary Masters, and the Six Altars of the Confucian School suppressed the ordinary soldiers of the Dragon Scale Army.

Above, Zihe arrived riding a giant bird. With a sweep of its wings, a wave of heat rolled across the city walls, and a great fire immediately broke out.

Lin Birou's expression changed drastically. She hurriedly used her Ocean Wave True Qi to extinguish the fire with water. Yu Wuhen, being of the same mind as her, also unleashed his Ocean Wave Qi to extinguish the flames.

After Yu Wuhen swept away the last flame with his sleeve, he asked, "Senior Sister, what is the origin of this giant bird?" Lin Birou turned around and brushed aside the Pagoda-Bearing Arhat, replying, "Judging from its appearance, it resembles the Bifang monster bird depicted in the 'Ten Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers' painting!"

This Bifang monster bird was one of the ferocious beasts that Zhu Xuzi had trapped in the Hunting Valley. After Huangtian Maya occupied Tianma Manor, he accidentally found this bird and tamed it using the Tianma Secret Technique. However, the Bifang bird was wild and arrogant, and it would not easily submit. It took the Haotian Sect several months to bring it under their control.

Riding the Bifang bird, Zihe was quite majestic, laughing heartily, "You scoundrel, your knowledge is not bad, do you even recognize my formation!"

His Daoist energy surged forth, the Four Symbols Yuan Gong condensed and took shape, transforming once more into the Four Symbols Spirit Venerable Dharma Images, ready to seize Danjun City in one fell swoop.

Feng Wangchen was extremely nervous, chuckling, "Your strength has been revealed, so my army need not hide anything any longer!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his feather fan, and a whirlwind carrying fireworks soared into the sky, exploding with a deafening boom.

The fireworks were a signal; a clear whistle echoed from afar, and golden light flashed within the clouds—it was a roc spreading its wings, a proud bird crying out.

Zihe shouted, "The demon has come at just the right time! Behold the power of the Four Symbols Spirit Venerables!"

He switched his magic and aimed the power of the four symbols of water, fire, wind, and thunder at the Golden Roc. Just as the four spirit venerables were about to capture the golden eagle, a demonic light shot out from the eagle's back. The eight-winged phoenix spread its wings and revealed its demonic form. With a cry of the phoenix, the magnificent demonic energy shattered the four spirit venerables.

Lu Mingluan appeared gracefully, and Yin Fangxi and Jin Ziyi immediately joined forces to attack. The two great scholars possessed profound internal strength and exquisite martial arts skills. Their Ziyang True Qi overlapped layer upon layer, like a raging storm. Lu Mingluan did not show any weakness and did not show any signs of defeat even when fighting two against one. With a light flick of her left hand, she first used the Ice Marrow Force to seal Jin Ziyi's Ziyang True Qi, then used the Azure Wood Tempering Fire to burn Yin Fangxi, and finally used her innate divine power - Seven-Colored Divine Light to blast the two back several feet away. Yin Fangxi stood on the wind and floated in mid-air, while Jin Ziyi gathered her true qi, flipped and soared up, and stood on the back of an eagle.

Lu Mingluan sneered, "You stinking wretch, you've improved quite a bit in the past few days!"

Yin Fangxi retorted angrily, "You wicked woman, you have quite the nerve! I, Yin, will make you die with regret on the spot!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he began to unleash a set of Seven Aperture Exquisite Finger techniques. This set of finger techniques combines the strengths of Confucian skill, avoiding the strong and targeting the weak, concealing the killing intent within the illusion. Once it touches the enemy, the finger force will enter through the wound, first locking the qi channels and suppressing the enemy's internal strength, and then taking advantage of the enemy's weakness to kill them in one fell swoop.

Lu Mingluan realized this finger technique was no simple matter, so she countered with the Lion King Fist. The Lion King Fist was powerful and forceful, perfectly embodying the principle of overcoming complexity with strength.

On the other side, Jin Ziyi launched a palm strike from a distance to disrupt the battle. For a short time, the three sides fought fiercely, evenly matched.

Zihe, having had her Four Symbols Formation broken, was temporarily unable to set up a formation to participate in the battle, so she rode Bifang towards the Golden Roc. The Golden Roc had soared through the sky for many years, and apart from encountering phoenixes and divine dragons, it was incredibly majestic. Now, seeing a bird daring to be presumptuous in front of it, it was enraged. With a cackle, it spread its wings and raised its sharp talons to grab Bifang.

Bifang possessed supernatural abilities; with a flap of its wings, it spat out several fireballs. The Golden Roc's feathers were far superior to metal, so the fireballs did not hurt it, but instead aroused its killing intent.

The Peng bird, with its domineering power and golden armor, and the Bifang, agile and sharp, possessing a strange fire within its body, engaged in a fierce battle in the air, each displaying its power.

The battle on the ground grew increasingly intense. A troop of soldiers found an opening in the fighting and charged to the walls of Danjun City. They pushed their battering rams

and smashed the city gates, which shattered with a deafening roar. The attacking soldiers, overjoyed, rushed into the city, only to be sliced to pieces by sharp weapons before they could take more than a few steps. The soldiers behind them were startled. Looking closer, they saw drops of blood hanging in the air. Behind the city gates, a dense network of transparent, sharp spider silk had been laid, capable of killing silently. Behind the silk stood a demon, Mo Yun, clad in a black velvet robe. His ten fingers moved nimbly, causing the silk to change shape, sometimes forming webs, sometimes spreading out, with many poisonous spiders crawling along it.

"It's a spider demon!"

The soldier recognized Mo Yun and stopped in fright. But those behind, eager for merit, surged forward like a tide, pushing those in front to their deaths. Painful screams echoed throughout the city.

Although the spider silk was strong and sharp, it couldn't withstand the constant onslaught of the enemy. After blocking several waves of attacks, the spider silk web broke apart, and the imperial army poured in, their advance unimpeded.

Mo Yun chuckled, used a movement technique to retreat immediately, and then the ground caved in, from which many giant scorpions emerged. Each scorpion clamped its pincers onto an enemy soldier, and with a powerful slash, it took the enemy's life. With a hook of its venomous stinger, it pierced through the bodies of three soldiers at the same time. Then, the scorpion clan elder Xian Huo and the demon general Xie Ao appeared at the same time. The two directed the giant scorpions to ambush and kill the enemy troops entering the city, and together they released poisonous smoke and mist. Various colored mists drifted in, and the enemy troops entering the city were trapped by the poisonous gas and could not escape. They clutched their throats and fell to the ground, their eyes wide open, foaming at the mouth, and dying after a few cries.

Those who had narrowly escaped death dared not linger and scrambled to escape the city. But just as they reached the city gate, a massive boulder weighing a thousand pounds crashed down, blocking the exit. The boulder was riddled with holes, and strange rustling sounds could be heard. Poisonous snakes emerged from the holes one after another, devouring the remaining enemy soldiers.

Xianhuo was overjoyed and praised, "Tengji, your snake-controlling technique is still incredibly sharp!"

Tengji gracefully emerged from the shadows and humbly replied, "You flatter me, Second Elder. This is merely what I should do."

Demon soldiers lay in ambush within the city, while the Dragon Scale reinforcements had already arrived outside. A military flag was raised in the east, embroidered with a white character. A silver-armored woman rode in on horseback; it was Bai Lingyu. Her spear flashed in rapid succession, her Qilin Seven-Star Spear swaying in all directions, carving a bloody path through the enemy lines. Meanwhile, demonic energy surged in the west. First came the howls of wolves, then the roars of lions, and finally the sound of elephants. Zhiguan led the warriors of the Lion and Wolf clans into the battle. Because Langhaotian had been seriously injured in the previous battle at Jinling, the wolf soldiers were now under Zhiguan's command.

Zhi Guan first targeted the beastmen troops, shouting, "Wolf brothers, manifest your demonic forms!"

Upon receiving the order, the wolf soldiers activated their demonic energy, their eyes turning blood red. They roared towards the sky, their bodies immediately enlarging into wolf-headed, human-bodied forms. With their Bone Forging Scripture foundation, they could properly control their demonic energy, and even in their werewolf form, they remained rational, able to advance and retreat freely, and cooperate with each other.

Wolf-like creatures are cunning and fierce, valuing cooperation above all else. While the warriors of the Azure Wolf Clan couldn't match the numbers of Tie Lie's forces, they were both valiant in battle and capable of assisting their comrades. They were several times stronger than Tie Lie's mad demons, whose mere frenzy caused the beast army considerable suffering with a single charge. Then, Bai Zhan ordered the Lion Clan to attack. These lion demons all revealed their demonic forms, and hundreds of male lions appeared on the battlefield. Their simultaneous roars were like thunder, instantly decimating both the tiger and leopard armies. Humans and beasts alike were knocked down by the sonic waves; some bled from all seven orifices and lost consciousness, while others suffered shattered internal organs and died on the spot.

Elephants and rhinoceroses, relying on their thick hides, escaped the lions' roars, but they couldn't withstand the immense power. Bai Zhan roared wildly, leading Huang Kui and a group of unicorns into the fray. Bai Zhan unleashed his brute force, punching a rhinoceros to death instantly, then kicking a giant elephant to the ground.

The elephant demon, caught up in the carnage, casually grabbed the tails of two rhinoceroses, swinging them like meteor hammers, slamming them down on the surrounding beastmen, sending them sprawling and screaming in agony.

Huang Kui transformed into a three-zhang-tall unicorn giant. The heavy, earth-shaking crossbow in his hands was no different from ordinary bolts. He picked it up and ran through the beastmen's ranks, firing bullets with tremendous force. The steel spears fired from the crossbow pierced through the bodies of the rhinoceroses and elephants.

After hammering the steel spears, Huang Kui used the crossbow to kill several enemy soldiers, then grabbed an elephant, unleashing his brute strength, lifting it high, and tearing it apart with a ripping sound, spraying blood everywhere—he had actually ripped an elephant apart alive.

He was covered in blood, displaying the ferocity of a monstrous demon, terrifying the enemy. Even Bai Zhan, after witnessing his prowess, couldn't help but nod in admiration: "This young man is truly brave and fierce; our clan has a worthy successor!"

In the main battle, the imperial infantry phalanx advanced steadily, seemingly without a doubt. However, they hadn't gone far when they encountered the ambush of the Azure Scale Serpent Clan. Teng Xiao led her clan's warriors, using their serpentine movements to burrow into the battle formation. Possessing the Heaven-Mending Assassination Technique, they were agile and cunning. To them, the infantry phalanx was nothing more than a heavy lump of iron. Even their iron armor couldn't withstand their insidious sneak attacks, and in the blink of an eye, the phalanx was thrown into chaos.

At the same time, Bai Lingyu led his army in a counterattack, annihilating the disordered phalanx in one fell swoop.

The battle beneath Dan County City was a bloodbath, with corpses strewn everywhere. The fighting lasted from dawn until late at night, and the imperial army suffered countless losses, forcing them to retreat in desperation.
