Behind them, half a mountain of mud was rolling towards them like a raging wave.

At that critical moment, Su Yi took the vine of the grass and swung it towards Mu Jin. The vine wrapped around Mu Jin's waist and pulled Mu Jin out of the mud and rocks, holding him tightly with his strong and powerful arms.

Su Yi suddenly lowered his head, bit Mu Jin's lips hard, and said through gritted teeth: "You are lying to me again! You want to abandon me and walk away!"

But in the blink of an eye, he whispered in her ear again, "Well, I've been deceived by you more than once or twice, so it doesn't matter if it happens again. Anyway, you must remember to take good care of yourself in the future and don't be soft-hearted to others!"

After listening to what Su Yi said, Mu Jin saw Su Yi smiled at her, but before she could react, she was lifted into the air by a huge force. Only then did she realize that it was Su Yi who wrapped her body with vines and used his internal energy to throw her forward.

When Mu Jin rolled to the ground, he found that he was more than ten feet away from Su Yi.

Mu Jin watched from afar as Su Yi seemed to have exhausted all his strength and could not even stand steadily. He suddenly knelt on the ground, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then fell heavily to the ground without a sound.

"Su Yi!" Mu Jin's heart-wrenching cry shocked the entire valley.

Mu Jin rushed towards Su Yi with all his might like a madman. All the soldiers who had escaped with them before were buried under the thick mud.

In the entire valley, there was no other sound except Mu Jin's desperate and shrill crying while running. It was so quiet that it was suffocating.

Mu Jin watched helplessly as the collapsing mountain approached Su Yi with unstoppable force, but she did not stop. Instead, she ran faster, fearing that if she slowed down any further, she would not be able to die with Su Yi.

Mu Jin ran to Su Yi. She looked at the unconscious Su Yi. There were still traces of blood at the corners of his pale mouth.

Mu Jin's heart was broken. She hugged Su Yi tightly in her arms and gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with trembling hands.

However, in an instant, the mud from the mountain swept over and instantly swallowed the two of them, and the valley instantly returned to tranquility.

On the high mountain outside the valley, Su Yuntian watched coldly at everything that happened in the valley. The cold wind blew his cloak behind him, making a slight rustling sound.

Xiao Chuan, who was beside Su Yuntian, glanced at him stealthily, but he couldn't see the expression on Su Yuntian's face at the moment.

Logically speaking, since Dongyue won the battle, Su Yuntian should have felt the joy of a winner, but now Su Yuntian was as silent as death.

Just as Xiao Chuan was considering whether to ask Su Yuntian for instructions on what to do next, Su Yuntian spoke slowly and ordered him, "Go and see if there are any survivors."

"I obey your command!" Xiao Chuan nodded and bowed quickly, saying, "I will send someone to investigate right away."

So the East Vietnamese army dispersed in all directions and went to explore the valley with torches.

There are so many people buried by the mountain that it looks like a mass grave.

The East Vietnamese soldiers had just witnessed the collapse of the mountain that buried everything here, and they were still frightened. Therefore, they did not dare to conduct a comprehensive and careful search. They just took a look at the edge and then returned to Su Yuntian to report.

"Your Majesty, there is no one left alive in the valley."

Seeing that Su Yuntian remained silent, the soldier added, "We in Dongyue lost 10,000 soldiers this time, but the losses in Nanshu were even greater than ours. They lost at least 20,000 people."

"Besides, the mountain has collapsed. If we walk on this soft mud, we will probably fall into it. Our next step is to go around another 100 miles to Liangmen Pass."

Su Yuntian hesitated for a moment, and did not reply to the soldier's question. Instead, he asked, "What about the emperor and female general of Southern Shu?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then immediately replied: "It is probably buried under the soil."

Looking around, the mountains above collapsed, and the valley was now flattened and lifeless.

It is almost impossible to get out of here alive.

Su Yuntian was silent for a moment, then murmured to himself: "Well, since you don't want to return to me, then die in my hands."

"I just feel sorry that you two died together. But it doesn't matter. When I recover all of Southern Shu, I will order people to find your body and bury it in the imperial mausoleum. Even if you die, you are still my woman after all. I will bury you together after a hundred years."

It was obvious that he was talking to Mu Jin. He felt a little unwilling to see Mu Jin die.

Normally, Mu Jin wanted to escape from his control, but she didn't expect that he would have to use such means in the end. It was a pity to keep her by his side.

However, he did not think there was anything wrong with it. Since she was unwilling to be his woman while alive, she could only be buried in his imperial tomb after death.

Su Yuntian pulled the reins of his horse and turned around to leave. He looked up to the sky and laughed twice, and then said, "You must not have thought that Nangong Ce, that loser, would actually develop such a powerful black gunpowder for me. I just need to put black gunpowder on the mountains here and there."

"This will cause the mountains to collapse everywhere. No matter how many soldiers you have in Southern Shu, they are no match for my few boxes of black gunpowder. I want to see how your so-called grandfather Emperor Gaozong will fight against my black gunpowder after you die."

"When I have conquered Nanshu and Beiqi, and taken over the world, I will have your corpse dug up, smashed, and fed to the dogs!"

Obviously, this time these words were spoken to Su Yi, and then, the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, until finally, the group disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, in the deep valley, half of a hand covered in blood and frozen black suddenly emerged from a pile of mud.

Mu Jin's body was numb, and she could not feel the cold. She was exhausted and just wanted to sleep. However, her whole body was aching, as if she was pierced by sharp steel needles, making it impossible for her to fall asleep regardless of everything.

"Su Yi," Mu Jin narrowed her eyes and her dry throat made a hoarse sound. Seeing no one responded, she called out again: "Su Yi?"

Still no one responded, the tingling sensation all over her body seemed to be trying to awaken her memory, and she suddenly opened her eyes and found herself lying under a pile of mud, surrounded by darkness.

She was sleeping here, so where was Su Yi? Su Yi, yes, she remembered that before she fainted, she was holding Su Yi and was buried by the landslide.

Mu Jin struggled for a while and finally climbed out of the thick and sticky mud. Her whole body was now covered in mud, with not a single clean spot. Only her scarlet eyes, filled with tears, were still clear.

Mu Jin looked around in confusion. She was the only one left in the entire valley. She couldn't help but let the tears fall from her eyes.
