A group of soldiers in red armor and a group of people in black military uniforms rushed in from outside the palace gate like a surging tide.

The weapons in their hands flashed a chilling light in the moonlight, making people shudder.

Leading the group was none other than General Xie Jiang, who commanded the other half of Southern Shu's troops. Walking side by side with Xie Jiang was Su Yi's personal bodyguard Ling Yu. Following on horseback behind him were a group of Moon Shadow Guards.

After Su Yi and Mu Jin smiled at each other, Su Yi put his arm around Mu Jin's waist, flew up, and went upstairs to the Dragon Saliva Palace.

"General! It's bad!" Lin He's voice was like thunder, exploding around Lin Zhengyong and the Lin family soldiers: "They are not the reinforcements brought by the young master, but the Xie family soldiers and the Moon Shadow Guards."

Lin Zhengyong and the rebels behind him looked terrified. They never expected that Xie's army and Yueying Guards would appear at this time.

Xie Jiang looked at Lin Zhengyong who was protected by shields with cold eyes, and shouted loudly: "Lin Zhengyong, you are so bold to rebel! Why don't you surrender quickly!"

"I'm telling you, the rebels you've been hiding outside of Bianliang City, as well as your son Lin Jingtian, have all been strangled by us. If you surrender now and plead guilty, maybe the emperor will be able to keep your body intact!"

Lin Zhengyong's originally cold and hard face instantly became twisted and ferocious after hearing the news that his son Lin Jingtian was killed. His eyes were wide open, full of disbelief and anger.

Then, his body trembled violently and the weapon in his hand almost fell.

He roared angrily: "Xie, old thief, you actually dared to kill my son!" Lin Zhengyong's voice was filled with grief and rage. His voice echoed over the palace, making the Lin family soldiers around him feel a palpitation.

Xie Jiang sneered, "Not just your son. Anyone who resisted in your Lin Mansion has been killed." Xie Jiang laughed loudly and continued, "Guess who is still alive in your Lin Mansion?"

"If you surrender with all your rebels now and kneel down to beg me, maybe I can tell you who is still alive in your Lin Mansion!"

When Lin Zhengyong heard Xie Jiang's words, his face turned pale quickly, and a trace of despair and madness flashed in his eyes. He couldn't believe that his son and the people in the Lin Mansion died because of his rebellion.

What was even more unacceptable was that the great cause he had built up over many years was destroyed in less than one night. Everything was a fact he could not accept.

The grief and anger in his heart intertwined together, forming a powerful force that almost made him lose his mind.

Lin Zhengyong's eyes were bloodshot, he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe it! Tonight I will let you know that this South Shu will definitely belong to me, Lin Zhengyong!"

Lin Zhengyong pushed aside the guards surrounding him, drew his sword, and shouted, "Kill them!"

In an instant, shouts of killing rang out, the sound of swords clashing resounded through the sky, and scarlet blood splashed everywhere like a fountain, gathering into a shocking river of blood.

The Xie family army and the Yueying Guards are veterans of the battlefield, and they have a tacit understanding with each other, and are capable of both offense and defense. In contrast, the Lin family army is in panic and has lost all fighting spirit. Faced with such a fierce attack, they can only retreat step by step.

Seeing his army's morale was low, Lin Zhengyong was extremely anxious. He gritted his teeth and immediately fled towards the palace gate, shouting, "Retreat to the palace gate!"

Seeing this, the Lin family army followed closely and rushed towards the palace gate desperately.

At this moment, the open palace door seemed to be their only way out in their desperate situation, like the last straw that they had to hold on to tightly. Perhaps they could still have a chance of survival.

"Close the palace gate!" Xie Jiang raised the token in his hand and gave the order in a stern voice.

As the words fell, the huge city gate began to make a dull roar and slowly closed.

Lin Zhengyong and the Lin family army behind him were forcibly blocked inside the palace.

Many members of the Lin family army watched the palace gate gradually closing, with endless despair in their hearts.

"General." Lin He looked at Lin Zhengyong with a horrified look and asked, "What should we do now?"

Lin Zhengyong said: "Smash it! Smash the palace gate open for me!"

Just as the Lin family army tried to move forward toward the palace gate, they were shot to death by the Moon Shadow Guards stationed on the city wall before they could even get close.

Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more critical, Lin Zhengyong knew that the game was over, so he resolutely chose to fight to the death.

He held the sword in his hand and swung it violently, then turned and looked across the endless crowd behind him, staring sinisterly and viciously at Emperor Gaozong and Su Yi who were standing on the top floor of the Ambergris Palace.

Lin Zhengyong was filled with deep despair and unwillingness. He slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he turned around without hesitation. He let out a deafening roar and rushed straight towards Xie Jiang.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: even if he died, he would drag Xie Jiang into hell with him!

However, Xie Jiang was no ordinary man. He easily avoided Lin Zhengyong's attack and stabbed Lin Zhengyong in the chest with a sword.

Lin Zhengyong took a few steps back to avoid the fatal blow. But before he could catch his breath, Xie Jiang launched several fierce attacks, making him exhausted.

Suddenly, a sound of breaking through the air was heard! A feather arrow shot out like lightning, heading straight for Lin Zhengyong!

Lin Zhengyong heard something wrong in the wind and quickly dodged to the side. Although he successfully avoided the fatal position of the arrow, the arrow still embedded deeply into his right shoulder!

Lin Zhengyong felt a sharp pain in his right arm, and couldn't help but reach out to support his injured shoulder, and turned around in astonishment. He found that the person who shot the arrow was Su Yi.

"Lin Zhengyong, I advise you to surrender! In consideration of your father's help to me, I will spare your body!" Emperor Gaozong shouted loudly.

Lin Zhengyong felt despair as he watched the Lin family soldiers around him fall down one after another. Even though he knew the situation was hopeless, how could a man as proud as he be willing to confess his guilt?

Lin Zhengyong looked at Nan Gaozong fiercely: "You are a man with no family, how can you continue to sit on the throne of Nan Shu? You might as well give it to me. After all, I have half of the Nan family bloodline in me, so I am worthy of the throne."

"I just hate that I wasted so many opportunities to attack you. Otherwise, why would I let you yell at me here?"

After Lin Zhengyong finished speaking, he slowly pulled out the bow and arrow from his shoulder. Then he laughed wildly and finally shouted to the sky in unwillingness.

"I have been invincible all my life, and I have ridden my horse all over the world. But now I die at the hands of a brat! I cannot accept this! I cannot accept this!"

After saying that, he picked up the sword, and with a fierce look in his eyes, he flew up in the direction where Emperor Gaozong was standing. However, the moment he flew up, countless arrows pierced his body, and he fell heavily to the ground.
