Fantasy: After transmigrating, I effortlessly became a god.

“Lu Jun, of course I will kill them, but I will not kill them, I will kill you.”

Zhang Zhi's words stunned not only Lü Jun's camp, but also the five officers behind him.

Zhang Zhi said that the Hua family had taken the emperor hostage and that they had come to rescue him. Why would Marshal Zhang suddenly say that he wanted to kill Lü Jun?

Zheng Qian was secretly pleased. Only three people knew that he was impersonating Zhang Zhi: Xu Shicai, Consort Mei, and Wu Yuxiao. Tonight, he would use Zhang Zhi's identity to kill the Hua family and the three major families.

"You, you actually betrayed me?" Lu Jun pointed at Zhang Zhi, unable to believe that Zhang Zhi would betray him. After all, his mother, the Empress, was Zhang Zhi's own sister.

The two of them were bound together by fate, so how could Zhang Zhi possibly betray him?

Prime Minister Zhao Baicheng looked at Zhang Zhi with equal bewilderment. What had gotten into his father-in-law that he wanted to kill the emperor?

"You have murdered your father and emperor, and are cruel and inhumane. Everyone has the right to kill you. Not only do I want to kill you, but all the people of the world want to kill you. I, the marshal, am speaking out for the sake of the millions of people, to restore order to this turbulent country!" Zhang Zhi's voice was deep and powerful, reaching everyone's ears.

The people of the land killed the emperor because his tyranny had lost the hearts of the people, and this was a righteous act.

"Grand Marshal Zhang?" Hua Chujie looked at Zhang Zhi with disdain and continued, "Betraying the Emperor is a capital offense. I, Hua Chujie, have long wanted to test Marshal Zhang's Crescent Blade. Today, I will kill you on behalf of the Emperor to uphold the law."

"Haha, Hua Chujie? How laughable," Zhang Zhi's voice echoed in the empty hall, laced with mocking laughter.

"The Emperor is being manipulated by your Hua family, while that fool Lü Jun is still immersed in a false sense of loyalty. The wise people in the world have long seen through it. The true decision-makers of Wuyan Kingdom are not Lü Jun, but the Hua family who are pulling the strings behind the scenes."

These words immediately drew a brief silence, followed by suppressed whispers. A ripple of emotion stirred within each person, prompting deeper reflection on the truth of power, the boundaries of loyalty, and their own place in the world.

"No way, does the Hua family intend to imprison the Emperor and become the rulers of Wuyan Kingdom?"

“It’s been a long time since a powerful family imprisoned the emperor and then became emperor themselves. There’s nothing strange about it.”

"The Hua family has long been local tyrants. People may disobey the emperor, but they dare not disobey the Hua family."

Emperor Lü Jun, whom Zhang Zhi called "Fool," had a face so dark it seemed to drip water. His suspicious gaze darted between the Shadow Master, Hua Chujie, and Hua Yixin, trying to glean a clue from their expressions, but he could only sense an unfathomable darkness.

The Shadow Master, that mysterious being forever hidden beneath a black robe, seemed detached from all of this, simply standing quietly, becoming an invisible observer.

Hua Chujie, however, displayed astonishing composure and arrogance in the face of Zhang Zhi's accusations. A confident smile played on his lips; he neither refuted nor agreed. His unhurried demeanor made one wonder if this number one spearman of Wuyan Kingdom was truly so fearless as to aspire to be emperor.

Just then, Hua Yixin stepped forward, his voice ringing out in the hall with undeniable authority: "Nonsense! My Hua family has been loyal to the Emperor for generations. How can we allow a traitor like Zhang Zhi to spout such nonsense? Your betrayal is a well-known fact, and according to the law, you should be executed as a warning to others!"

"Hua Yixin, are you still trying to deny it?" Zhang Zhi sneered, looking at Lü Jun, but pointing at Liu Xu who was carrying a large knife, and continued.

"Lu Jun, this is Liu Xu, the leader of the Flying Eagle Gang. Do you know what the people of Yancheng call him? They call him the local emperor. And do you know what Liu Xu is? He's just a dog of the Hua family. In other words, the emperor is the Hua family's dog."

Lu Jun suddenly felt isolated and helpless. Zhang Zhi was not only his maternal uncle but also the Grand Marshal of the State, wielding immense power. His words were usually truthful. Was he truly being manipulated by the Hua family?

Feng Ziguo, expressionless, said loudly, "Marshal Zhang is right. The Hua family has long since taken control of Yan City; it's just that the Emperor is unaware of it."

Zhang Tiezhu took a step forward and said loudly, "When my Shengshi Huazhang Chamber of Commerce was established, Liu Xu came to collect protection money. I said that I had already paid taxes to the imperial court, but he said that the emperor was nothing, that the Hua family was in charge of Wuyan Kingdom, and that Liu Xu, the local emperor, was in charge of Yancheng."

Damn it, the entire Hua family and Liu Xu couldn't sit still anymore, and Liu Xu was the first to jump out and curse.

"Zhang Tiezhu, you're talking nonsense! When have I ever asked you for protection money, or said anything like that?"

Just then, a soldier from the Changwu army walked onto the imperial road, attracting everyone's attention. He took off his mask, and Lü Jun couldn't help but shout.

“Lü Jin”.

Lu Jin nodded and said loudly, "Royal brother, how have you been? It's not that I want to seize your throne, but that you are treated like a dog by the Hua family, which is a disgrace to the Lu family. I want to destroy the Hua family, let their blood flow like a river, and tell everyone that the Lu family's dignity is inviolable."

Lu Jin didn't know if Zhang Zhi was telling the truth or not, but it was in his favor anyway. He decided to put the blame on the Hua family first. Without the Hua family's support, Lu Jun's camp would be at least halved in strength.

"How can you destroy the Hua family like that? As long as I, Hua Chujie, exist, who dares to touch the Hua family?" Hua Chujie is known as Liehuo, meaning wild and irritable. From childhood to adulthood, he has never had anything go wrong.

Even if he defiled Cao Wangyuan's wife and daughter, the commander of the Broken Mountain Dragon Cavalry, he could wipe out his entire family and silence him completely. Who in Wuyan Kingdom would dare to disobey Hua Chujie?

As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Yixin thought to himself that things were going badly. At this moment, Lü Jun must have suspicions about the Hua family. Instead of speaking of loyalty, Hua Chujie asked who would dare to touch the Hua family. Wasn't that slapping Lü Jun in the face?

Before Hua Yixin could say anything to smooth things over, Zhang Zhi rode up to Lü Jin's side and looked at Hua Chujie with amusement.

"You brainless idiot, do you think you can control everything just by imprisoning the emperor? The three major families have already made their move against your Hua family."

Pointing to the generals of the Broken Mountain Dragon Cavalry, Zheng Qian continued, "Before we stormed the palace, Cao Wangyuan led his army to destroy the Hua family. These generals, as representatives of various forces, all contributed troops and resources to help Cao Wangyuan. Now, the Hua family has long been wiped out, with rivers of blood flowing everywhere."

"You, you..." Hua Yixin pointed at the heads of the three major families, too angry to speak.

If the Hua family is truly wiped out, he will make all the members of the three major families pay with their lives.

"Old Hua, don't believe him. We're all in the same boat. Why would we help them against you?"

"Yes, if they really send troops, they will no longer be members of our family."

"Yes, they are not members of our family and have nothing to do with us."

The patriarchs of the three major families hurriedly stated that Hua Chujie was a mid-stage expert in the Spirit Fusion Realm, capable of wiping out the three major families single-handedly. They couldn't afford to offend him, and the only way to save their families was to sever ties with all members of the Dragon Riders.

Hua Yixin and Hua Chujie temporarily believed the three clan leaders' words, and now that they were surrounded by the Po Yue Dragon Cavalry, Xuan Hu Army, and Chang Wu Army, there was no use in being anxious.

Only then did the five realize that Zhang Zhi had tricked them. They were heartbroken. Their families had abandoned them, and if the Hua family took revenge, their entire family would be torn to pieces.

"You all heard that, didn't you? Your clan leader doesn't want you anymore." Zhang Zhi laughed loudly and said heroically, "How could the soldiers of my Broken Mountain Dragon Cavalry be afraid of you? Kill them, and you will be the clan leader from now on. This promise is mine, Zhang Zhi's promise."

Lu Jincheng pressed his advantage, promising the five men, "I, Lu Jincheng, promise that you will all become clan leaders and I will ensure your safety."

The five looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.

"Kill Lü Jun, destroy the Hua family and their patriarch, support Lü Jin to become emperor, and then they will become patriarchs, hoping for a lifetime of glory," they said in unison.

"We are willing to follow Marshal Zhang and His Highness the Fourth Prince."

The soldiers of the Broken Mountain Dragon Cavalry were unaware of what had happened. They only knew to obey their general and believed they were protecting the emperor. At this moment, only a very small number of them heard their conversation.

But so what? As long as the five men gave the order, they dared not disobey.

Military orders are absolute. The emperor may not know who those who disobey military orders, but if they disobey orders from their superiors, their superiors will not only know them, but will also kill them.

"You've all used our Hua family as stepping stones? Then you'll all die tonight." Hua Chujie, carrying a silver spear, walked step by step toward Zhang Zhi, his aura constantly rising, and then he transformed into a blur as he attacked Zheng Qian.

"die."
