In the Great Qin Dynasty, I, the Unruly Commander, begin by dual-cultivating with Yan Ling Ji.

Master Xu looked at the gleaming swords around him, sighed deeply, and put down his longsword.

“General, today my Mo family admits defeat. When will this cycle of revenge end? I am willing to commit suicide here. You may let the rest of you leave. From now on, the Mo family and the Bad People will have no more enmity.”

Ying Ziqing walked slowly to Master Xu, and suddenly raised her hand and plunged it into the chest of a Mo family elder. With a soft "plop," the Mo family elder instantly lost all life.

Ying Ziqing pulled out her blood-soaked hand and wiped it on Master Xu's robe.

"When will this cycle of revenge end? Don't worry, old man."

"The Japanese commander will then lead the Bad Guys to the Mo Clan's Mechanical City. At that time, the Mo Clan will cease to exist, and the enmity will be resolved."

Upon hearing this, Master Xu's eyes widened in fury. He struggled to fight Ying Ziqing to the death, but he couldn't even stand up under the suppression of Ying Ziqing's true energy.

Ying Ziqing turned around somewhat boredly, waved his hand, and with a cold glint of blade and splattered blood, all the traitors were killed!

Li Cunli quickly walked to Ying Ziqing's side, cupped his hands, and said:

"General, the Yin-Yang School members are waiting for you outside."

"Well, let's go."

After emerging from the valley, Yun Zhongjun, dressed in blue and purple robes, and Xinghun were waiting there. Upon seeing Ying Ziqing, Yun Zhongjun bowed and said:

"Yun Zhongjun of the Yin Yang School greets the Commander-in-Chief."

Xinghun, standing beside him, cupped his hands in a gesture of greeting:

"Yin Yang School Star Soul has met the Bad Commander."

The attitudes of the two were obvious under Yun Zhongjun's deliberate actions.

A slight smile appeared on Ying Ziqing's face beneath the mask:

"interesting……"

"Why did the Eastern Emperor send the two of you to see me?" Ying Ziqing asked calmly.

Yun Zhongjun glanced at the arrogant Xinghun, cupped his hands in greeting, and said with a smile:

"Reporting to the Commander, Xinghun, the forty disciples I brought with me are here to assist you. I am skilled in refining various elixirs, and Xinghun is skilled in astrological divination. Lord Donghuang specifically instructed us to do our utmost to assist you."

"Is that so... In that case, you stay here, and Xinghun, go back."

Ying Ziqing's words startled both Yun Zhongjun and Xinghun. Xinghun, whose personality was inherently arrogant, couldn't help but speak up:

"How arrogant the Bad Commander is! He keeps telling me to get back. I, Xinghun, only obey the orders of the Eastern Emperor! No one else is worthy to command me."

Seeing this, Yun Zhongjun did not come out to defend Xinghun, but silently retreated to the side. He and Xinghun were not on good terms to begin with, and this time Xinghun was facing Bu Liang Shuai, which was just the right time for him to suffer. Yun Zhongjun couldn't be happier.

"Oh? This handsome man isn't worthy? Fine then."

Ying Ziqing shrugged, then suddenly appeared in front of Xinghun, grabbed his neck, and slammed his body to the ground.

Star Soul, who was suppressed and unable to move, had a blank mind. How did he suddenly end up lying on the ground?

Ying Ziqing then took out a short blade from the system space and, with a smile on her face, used a pen as a knife to forcefully carve the three characters "Bad People" on Xinghun's youthful face.

“Now it looks much better,” Ying Ziqing said jokingly, standing up.

Looking at Xinghun's blood-soaked face, Yun Zhongjun shrank back in fear. Luckily, he hadn't provoked the Bad Marshal, or he would have ended up like Xinghun.

Xinghun stood up with gritted teeth, touched the words carved deep into his flesh on his face, starlight surged around him, and with a ferocious expression, he slapped Ying Ziqing from behind.

A slight smile appeared on Ying Ziqing's lips as a scarlet sword suddenly pierced through Xinghun's left chest.

Somewhat bewildered, Xinghun looked down at his pierced heart. The dazzling starlight that had once shone on his body vanished, and he collapsed to his knees, the tip of his sword embedded in the ground.

Ying Ziqing turned around, leisurely drew her horizontal sword, and a ball of flame appeared out of thin air in her hand, striking Xinghun's body. Immediately afterward, Xinghun's body began to burn fiercely, and after a moment, only a pile of black powder remained.

Then Ying Ziqing turned to look at Yun Zhongjun, whose face was grim, and smiled slightly:

"Have you seen Xinghun?"

"No, no, General." Yun Zhongjun forced a smile onto his terrified face.

"Hmm... Yin Yang School's Star Soul was unfortunately killed by the Mo Family traitor, and his body has disappeared without a trace," Ying Ziqing said after a moment's thought.

“That’s right, just as the commander said, I saw it with my own eyes…”

That's right. From the very beginning, Ying Ziqing had no intention of keeping Xinghun alive. There was no need for Ying Ziqing to keep Xinghun, this traitor, alive. He could use Xinghun's life to intimidate Yun Zhongjun.

Ying Ziqing was quite interested in Yun Zhongjun's unique alchemy skills...

——Dividing——Line——

Inside the mansion, Ying Ziqing, wearing a mask, sat on a stone chair, while Fusu, engrossed in a game of chess, sat opposite him.

"Fusu, can you see anything?"

"Reporting to the Commander, Fusu is foolish and dull-witted." Fusu stood up, bowed, and said.

"There is no need for formalities during your leisure time, Fusu. For others, Confucianism and its practices mean that every action must be obeyed. But it is different for you; you are the Crown Prince of Qin."

Confucianism should be a tool for you to maintain your rule; the one who wields the sword should not be controlled by the sword.

Ying Ziqing's earth-shattering words caused a great stir in Fusu's heart. He had never heard such words before. Upon reflection, he realized that he had indeed been too immersed in Confucianism.

“Fusu, I know what you are thinking: to educate the people of the world with Confucianism and establish a country of benevolence, righteousness and propriety. But how can you be so sure that Confucianism can save the people of the world?”

Confucianism cannot save those people who have suffered from natural disasters and man-made calamities!

Confucianism could not save the soldiers who died because of foreign invasion!

Confucianism cannot save those who are seriously ill and have no cure!

"Fusu, later the Mirror Demon will take you to Han County to see for yourself what the world truly needs, and what you should truly do."

After Ying Ziqing finished speaking, her figure disappeared into the courtyard, leaving Fusu alone sitting in the same spot.

After a long while, the Mirror Heart Demon came to Fusu's side, cupped his hands and said:

"Young Master Fusu, the carriage and horses are ready, please come in."

Sorry for the long wait, everyone. Yesterday I spent the whole day traveling by ferry, bus, and high-speed train, so I didn't update. This chapter was written while waiting for the train. Thank you for your understanding! (?°3°)-?
