At Luohuang Mountain, Lu Chu, along with dozens of experts at the Liquid Aperture Realm, severely injured the seven demon kings and imprisoned them in the Demon Locking Tower.

The blood of the seven demon kings not only has medical value, but is also an excellent material for the royal families of several countries to shape the foundation of their younger generation and lay a solid foundation for cultivation.

Therefore, the seven demon kings are pitiful. They fled and killed many humans. Lu Chu and his group could kill them, but they couldn't bear to.

"Fellow Daoists, the martial arts test should be over. Next is the team battle. I'm sure you all need to go back and formulate tactics. Therefore, I have decided to travel through the night and arrive at Guangxiang City as soon as possible."

At Lu Chu's command, five giant roc descended from the sky, and Wen Xianren and Yu Daoren flew together towards Guangxiang City.

Among the crowd this time was General Fan Lang.

In the main hall of the Li family, Li Mubai placed Tian Jie in a crystal coffin, sat in front of it without saying a word, his eyes lifeless.

After a long while, Li Mubai stood up and walked outside the hall. A thousand warriors, clad in armor and wielding sharp weapons, filled every corner with a chilling aura.

They are all elite veterans who survived the frontier battlefields. The Li family has been supporting them at a high price, and today is the time for them to repay the Li family.

"Brothers, the fate of those going on this mission is uncertain. Those who do not wish to participate are free to withdraw. Those who go will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold. If you die in battle, you will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold to comfort your family and ensure that three generations will live a life of comfort and security."

"We will follow our young master and protect him with our lives."

"Kill, kill, kill."

The three shouts of "kill!" signify the determination of the thousand veteran soldiers to follow Li Mubai in killing Lu Yan.

In the City of Wind, Feng Wuhen stood before a sand table depicting the city of Guangxiang, while behind him were five advisors who continuously recorded the various data he presented.

"It will take five minutes for the 100,000 Qilin Army to assemble, and fifteen minutes for them to march rapidly to support the Crown Prince's residence. These fifteen minutes are our only chance to kill Lu Yan and Lu Cilin."

At this moment, an aide walked in from outside and whispered a few words in Feng Wuhen's ear, and Feng Wuhen's eyes lit up.

"Zhong Yi, go do something for me. This task must succeed or fail. The speed of the Qilin Army will be slowed down by ten minutes. These ten minutes will be the key to our victory or defeat."

Feng Wuhen was exhausted. He not only had to kill the Lu family father and son, but also had to seize control of the royal family of Guangxiang Kingdom.

The country of Guangxiang is rotten to the core, and any uprising by the people is meaningless. Only powerful families like theirs can overthrow Lu Chu's hegemony.

In the Mo residence, Mo Yuan sat on a grand chair, surrounded by more than a dozen officials, all of whom were his most trusted disciples, including both civil and military officials.

"Fellow colleagues, the millions of people in the fifty countries need a peaceful life. The war against the Demon Radiance Sect will begin with the Guangxiang Kingdom firing the first arrow. Tonight's operation must succeed; failure is not an option."

"is teacher."

In the Qilin Army camp, Zhu Tong, dressed in a soldier's uniform, entered Zhu Ke's camp.

Zhu Ke was engrossed in reading when a familiar voice woke him up.

"Father."

Zhu Ke looked up in disbelief. His daughter, who had been missing for a month, was standing in front of him.

Rubbing his eyes, Zhu Ke gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"I'm getting old, my eyesight is failing."

Tears streamed down Zhu Tong's face as she choked out, "Father, you're not seeing things. Your daughter, Zhu Tong, has really come back."

"Zhu Tong." Zhu Ke stood up and hugged his precious daughter tightly.

When Zhu Tong told Zhu Ke about what had happened over the past month, Zhu Ke's expression was uncertain.

“My dear daughter, I am powerless and unable to avenge you. Now that you have escaped, Lu Yan is afraid that his despicable deeds will be exposed, and he will surely try to wipe out our family. I will take you away now and get you away from this place of trouble.”

Zhu Ke brought Zhu Tong home, and the family packed their things at a very fast pace. Just as they were about to leave, a man named Zhong Yi walked into their house.

"Brother Zhu, are you well?"

Zhu Ke looked at Zhong Yi in disbelief. Five years ago, Zhong Yi was ostracized by high-ranking officials in the court for advising on reforming the land law and reducing taxes so that people could live a peaceful and prosperous life. In the end, the Guardians ransacked his home and found 100,000 taels of gold. He was executed by being cut in half at the waist for embezzlement.

This incident caused a great uproar in the court. Zhong Yiren lived up to his name, being loyal and righteous. No one believed that he would embezzle; he was simply killed for threatening the interests of his protectors.

Zhong Yi and Zhu Ke were classmates and lived in the same courtyard. Their relationship was closer than that of brothers. They served as officials in the same court. Zhong Yi was a civil official, while Zhu Ke was a military officer. When Zhong Yi died, Zhu Ke was drunk for several days and nights.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Yi reappeared before him after five years.

Zhu Ke hugged Zhong Yi tightly: "Brother, you're not dead, that's great, that's great."

Zhong Yi laughed heartily: "Not only am I not dead, but I'm also preparing to do something big and fulfill the vow we made at the academy back then."

The two men were drinking in the courtyard when they vowed to change the world of Guangxiang Kingdom and bring a good life to the people, so that they would have enough to eat and clothes to wear.

When the two entered the imperial court, they discovered that the vow made in their youth was nothing but a vow, and Zhong Yi was even executed by being cut in half at the waist for it.

Zhu Ke's eyes dimmed: "We are at their mercy, like fish on a chopping board. The vows we made back then are gone with the wind. Let them go."

Zhong Yi smiled confidently: "I've arranged for your family to leave the city and ensure they have enough to eat and wear. Do you dare to keep your promise to me?"

Zhu Ke's dim eyes lit up again: "I'd be willing to risk my life for you, what's there to be afraid of?"

Under Zhong Yi's arrangement, Zhu Ke's family left Guangxiang City, and the two also secretly plotted to delay the Qilin Army's advance.

At the Crown Prince's residence, Lu Yan arrived with elites and officials from various countries. He first comforted everyone by offering them tea and rest, and then continued to discuss diplomatic matters. He then left under the pretext of inspecting the banquet.

In the back garden, Lu Yan was in a bad mood and smashed the head of the guard captain with a single blow.

"You're all useless. There are eight war chariots in the next room. Can't you just pull them out and kill the masked men?"

The guards knelt on the ground, terrified that they would be the next ones to have their heads smashed.

They all knew that there were eight powerful war chariots in the mansion, but without Lu Yan's order, who would dare to move them?

All the experts were taken by Lu Yan to show off. They were all rookies in the Fusion Spirit Realm. They were more than capable of beating ordinary thieves, but what could they do against the mysterious expert who could kill Lu Yi?

Lu Yan saw a pool of black blood at the stone gate, as well as withered flowers and plants touched by the black blood, and he understood some things.

The assassin who broke into the underground palace was struck by Dongmei's Heavenly Silkworm Poison Needle, so the second assassin must be someone else.

Dongmei's Heavenly Silkworm Poison Needle can only withstand ten minutes for a Liquid Aperture Realm expert, and at most one minute for a Dragon Shaping Realm expert. No matter how long they can withstand it, the end result is death from the poison.

The guard said that the first masked man shouted "Three-section slash" when he killed someone, so Lu Yan deduced that the first masked man was Zheng Qian.

Therefore, it can be inferred that Zheng Qian died of poisoning.

Upon entering the underground palace, Lu Yan looked around and discovered the corpses of the four women. He then smashed the room to pieces with a single punch.

"Zheng Qian, I hope you are not dead, otherwise it will be difficult to quell the hatred in my heart."

After checking around, Lu Yan found that only spirit crystals and gold were missing, as well as Fan Qin and Shen Yang's weapons. His face turned cold.

"Pass down the order: issue arrest warrants for Fan Shuangqiang, the Double-Gun King, and Zhu Ke, the Left Guard General of the Qilin Army, for treason and collusion with the enemy. Execute their entire families on the spot, leaving no survivors."
