Gu Jiang felt his vision gradually blurring, and his throat seemed to feel less uncomfortable. Then... he knew nothing more.

After Ye Qing'an dealt with Gu Jiang, he turned around and saw Gu Duo's water unicorn carrying Li Rui in its mouth. Then, it shook its head and flung Li Rui out, smashing him against the wall and causing some of the wall to collapse.

Before Li Rui could even get up, Gu Duo had already rushed over and held his sword to Li Rui's neck.

Li Rui's eyes were filled with malice, but with his life in someone else's hands, he dared not do anything. He could only pant heavily and stare fixedly at Gu Duo.

Gu Duo raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Qing'an.

With just one glance, Ye Qing'an immediately understood what Li Rui wanted to do.

Ye Qing'an raised her hand, and a white light appeared in her hand. The white light enveloped Li Rui, and Li Rui's hair gradually turned white and began to frost over.

Immediately, Li Rui turned into a block of ice and was frozen inside.

Yi Moxu stood to the side and chuckled, "Everyone else can turn stones into gold, but my wife can turn stones into ice."

Ye Qing'an only glanced at Yi Moxu.

Yi Moxu's smile deepened: "I don't even need to lift a finger. My wife and General Gu have taken care of all the troubles and cleared away all obstacles for me. This feeling is wonderful."

"Please trouble General Gu to send Yi Yun Kui's body to Wangjing City and hang it on the palace gate."

Gu Duo's gaze fell on Yi Yun Kui's corpse on the ground. Without saying a word, he kicked the corpse, which was then lifted up. Gu Duo hoisted the corpse onto his shoulder and strode out of the courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, there were also people brought by Gu Jiang and Li Rui.

Seeing the fate of Gu Jiang and Li Rui, no one dared to stop Gu Duo. They simply retreated to the sides, their hands trembling as they held their weapons.

Yi Moxu and Ye Qing'an stood in the courtyard watching Gu Duo carry the corpse away, their expressions suddenly turning cold: "My troops have already reached the gates of Wangjing City, and another part of them has already infiltrated the city. The troops around Wangjing City have all been dispatched to the Siyou Kingdom's camp outside Anzhi City. No one would have expected that I had already led my men into Wangjing City."

"Ye Qinghao is seriously injured and is currently in Anzhi City. Li Rui is here, Gu Jiang is dead, and Liu Enze is in my hands. The four major families are now all severely damaged. Wangjing City is now poorly defended. Taking Wangjing City will be as easy as taking candy from a baby."

Yi Moxu's voice struck the hearts of everyone present, and for a long time no one spoke.

Yi Moxu's lips curled into a smile: "Now that you have defected and joined me, I am willing to forgive and forget, and bring you under my command to lead you back to Wangjing City. If you want to attack me now, I can also accept the challenge. However... if you choose the latter, I'm afraid you will never have the chance to leave here again."

The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment. After a long while, one of them stepped forward and said, "We are willing to pledge our allegiance to Prince Duan."

"We are willing to seek refuge with them."

Yi Moxu's lips curled up slightly: "Alright, if you're all willing, then come with me back to Wangjing City."

"However, I advise you not to try anything funny in front of me. Otherwise, you'll definitely regret it."

After Yi Moxu finished speaking, he turned his head and extended his hand to Ye Qing'an.

"Ma'am, please."

Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow and placed her hand in Yi Moxu's hand.

The two left the courtyard together, where horses were already prepared.

Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu mounted their horses together and then led their men towards Wangjing City.

Yi Moxu said that the rebel army had already reached the gates of Wangjing City and had begun to attack the city in coordination with the rebel troops he had arranged in advance. This was not an exaggeration.

Before Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu even reached the outskirts of Wangjing City, they could already faintly hear various sounds coming from there.

The sounds of clashing swords, neighing warhorses, roaring spirit beasts, and shouts filled the air...

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes: "How long has the Venerable One been preparing?"

"Six whole years." Yi Moxu's eyes were deep. "From the moment my meridians were severed, my spiritual power was completely destroyed, and I was sent to Qian'an, not a single moment passed without me thinking about how I should take revenge. How should I take revenge..."

“I never stop fantasizing that one day I will lead a large army to break through Wangjing City, storm the palace, kill Yi Yun Kui in front of me, and take the position that Yi Yun Kui has been guarding for decades.”

Yi Moxu's smile was cold: "Actually, it's not that I really want the throne. It's just that I feel that Yi Yunkui cherishes it so much that he would do anything for the throne, even disregarding the pain and life of his own son. So I want to take away everything he cherishes the most and destroy it."

Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "Yi Yun Kui is already dead."

"Hmm." Yi Moxu nodded: "But he just died recently, and his body was hung at the palace gate, so his soul shouldn't have dissipated yet, right? He should be able to see it..."

“Hmm.” Ye Qing’an responded, “He can see it, so let’s move quickly and let him see how we storm the imperial city he once guarded and take the place he guarded.”

Ye Qing'an raised her hand and drew a summoning circle.

Almost simultaneously, Yi Moxu also drew a summoning circle.

A white dragon and a Taotie suddenly appeared in the void.

The two ancient divine beasts rushed swiftly toward the city gate.

Two divine beasts were seen circling above the city wall. The sky and earth changed color, and suddenly a thunderclap sounded. A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the center of the circle formed by the two divine beasts' rotation.

The lightning passed over the two divine beasts, but suddenly transformed into countless bolts of lightning that struck down towards the city gate.

With a loud crash, the city gate collapsed.

"Come on!"

The army suddenly erupted in excitement and charged into Wangjing City.

Jiuxiao hovered in the air for a moment before landing on Ye Qing'an's shoulder: "Tsk... there's not a single person who can fight in Wangjing City right now."

Ye Qing'an turned her head and glanced at Jiu Xiao, who quickly chuckled and said, "Don't mind me, don't mind me. I was just making a casual remark. I was just taking advantage of the situation."

Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and turned to look at Yi Moxu: "Although Liu Enze and Ye Qinghao have both fallen into our hands, and we just used a scheme to lure Li Rui and Gu Jiang out of Wangjing City and defeat them one by one, this is, after all, the capital of Siyou Kingdom. Isn't this a bit too easy?"

"Could there be a trap in the palace? Those concubines in the palace are probably not easy to deal with, are they?"

Yi Moxu turned his head and chuckled, "Has Madam forgotten? Although I have been away from Wangjing City for several years, there are still people who remain in the city and in the palace..."
