Chapter 410 Until She Lost Everything (4000 words)
On the plains outside Canghai Pass, the armies of Qin and Qi have already been stationed, and a major battle is imminent.

Almost all the soldiers on both sides knew that this final battle would determine the fate of the world!
With each passing day, the great battle drew ever closer.

From generals to ordinary soldiers, the tension and excitement grew stronger.

This excitement is extremely beneficial for boosting the morale and combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

However, this excitement cannot be maintained indefinitely.

Therefore, when the soldiers' excitement reaches its peak, it is the time when the two armies are about to go to war.

In the past few days, in addition to closely observing the opponent's movements, Xiao Mo often used the Heaven-Mending Iron to polish the Ten Fiends Spear in his hand.

Xiao Mo could often sit there alone and spend an entire day polishing his work.

The generals, including Liu Xing, who arrived at the scene, also knew that this was a way for their general to keep his mind calm.

Let alone the Frost King, even when leading troops alone in battle, he would perform some repetitive and simple actions on the eve of a major battle to completely calm his mind.

Because even a lieutenant general or an ordinary soldier can feel excited, nervous, or even afraid.

But the head coach is the only exception.

As the head coach, one must remain calm at all times and not let emotions interfere with one's judgment in the slightest.

Besides sharpening his spear, the second thing Xiao Mo liked to do these days was to gaze into the distance.

At night, Xiao Mo usually doesn't sleep; he just raises his head and looks in one direction.

Deputy General Hong Bo and others discovered it.

The direction the Frost King was looking in seemed to be the imperial capital.
On the eve of the great battle, an inexplicable silence fell over the Qin court.

The imperial court is much quieter than it used to be.

The conflicts between political parties and powerful families seem to have suddenly stopped in recent days.

Even the conflicts between some up-and-coming officials and powerful families have eased considerably.

After all, everyone in the Qin court was concerned about the situation on the battlefield.

They are using various channels to inquire about the decisive battle outside the Canghai Pass of Qi State.

Some powerful families were even preparing for defeat.

For these powerful and influential families, their primary concern is the interests of the family.

As for who will be the master of this land in the future, they don't care at all.

Those officials who harbored ideals and were solely focused on the interests of the Qin state were even more concerned about this great battle.

They are not afraid of death.

But they were afraid that Qin would lose.

If this decisive battle is lost, not only will all the previous efforts be in vain, but the enemy may even take advantage of the victory and march straight into the capital, thus destroying the Qin state.

Therefore, for a time, the officials in the Qin court had no mind to attack their political enemies.

Qin Siyao, however, appeared remarkably calm inside the palace.

She continued to handle political affairs as usual, and whenever she had free time, she would go to the Xiao residence to visit her mother-in-law.

However, on this day, Qin Siyao asked Peanut to do something:

"Sister Peanut, could you help me carry a war drum to the Sky-Gazing Tower?"

"Carrying war drums to the Sky-Gazing Tower?"

Peanut was taken aback, not quite understanding what Qin Siyao meant.

Wangtianlou was the tallest building in the Qin royal palace, and could also be said to be the tallest building within the Qin territory.

This building was constructed by Mohist monks; it soared into the clouds and was used for stargazing.

What was Ke Siyao doing when she moved the war drum to Wangtianlou?

"Yes, it's the kind of war drum used by the Northern Wilderness Army." Qin Siyao nodded and smiled. "I'll trouble you with that, Sister Peanut."

"I see."

Even though he didn't know what Siyao was going to do, Peanut did as she was told.

In the land of Chu, in the city of Tianji.

The city lord of Tianji City, Wei Xingzi, has recently declined all visits from guests.

The others were unaware of what had happened to the Lord of Tianji City.

But Wei Xingzi's son knew that his father's time was near.

Early in the morning of this day.

Wei Xingzi woke up early in bed and asked someone to call her son.

"Father."

He Qing, the deputy city lord of Tianji City, walked to his father's bedside and bowed respectfully.

"Ah."

Wei Xingzi looked at her son and spoke calmly.

"Qing'er, my time is coming to an end today. There are some things I need to tell you."

"."

He Qing's eyes flickered as he listened to his father's words.

Although he was mentally prepared, and as a Yin-Yang cultivator, he had long since taken life and death lightly.

But when a loved one is about to pass away, a sense of sorrow is inevitable.

“All cultivators who ascend to the Ascension Realm will die, so why won’t I, your father? Besides, I’ve lived long enough, so you don’t need to be sad. In comparison, you must remember every word I’m about to say and pass it down as ancestral teachings. Do you understand?”

Wei Xingzi looked directly into her child's eyes, waiting for his answer.

“Yes, Father,” He Qing replied solemnly.

Wei Xingzi nodded and slowly said:
"As your father, I once foresaw the fate of Tianji City twice."

The first time was when Frost King Xiao Mo led his army to my Tianji City. If Tianji City had refused to send troops, Frost King would have razed Tianji City to the ground.

Fortunately, Frost King Xiao Mo is not an unreasonable person.

My Heavenly Mystery City is sending troops to fight for the Qin Kingdom.

So this time, the issue has been resolved.

The second time.

Wei Xingzi paused for a moment, his aged eyes seeming to shimmer with stars:

"This second time, it was when I was divining for the Frost King that I glimpsed a secret of heaven. Now, come closer and listen."

He Qing stepped forward, bent down, and whispered in his father's ear.

As Wei Xingzi spoke each word, He Qing's mind was shaken more and more, and he found it increasingly unbelievable.

“At that time, the secrets of heaven involved were very profound. When the Frost King asked me, I dared not speak.”

If I were to report this to the Frost King, Heaven would surely retaliate. Not only would I perish, but not a single person in the entire Heavenly Mystery City would survive.

You must not tell anyone what I just told you, and you must never write it down.

You can only pass on the word to the next city lord when you are on your deathbed.

Do you understand? "

"Understood, Father!" He Qing nodded solemnly. "Your son will remember this!"

"Ah."

Wei Xingzi nodded.

"From now on, my Tianji City will remain neutral and will absolutely not participate in the struggles between other sects or the affairs of the dynasty."

But if the demon race were to invade, my Heavenly Mystery City would not stand idly by.

A very, very long time from now—how long exactly—even your great-great-grandson won't be able to see it.

At that time, among the descendants of my He family, there will be two exceptionally talented women.

He has a generous and forthright personality.

A person with a calm and composed personality.

When that time comes, Tianji City will send someone to the Great Wall to defend against the demon race.

As for the other one, let her stay here and guard Tianji City.

Future generations.

Anyone who comes into contact with someone surnamed Xiao must do so with utmost care and caution.

If someone is of decent character, our Tianji City will help them if we can.

Do you understand?

"I understand, Father."

After giving her last words, Wei Xingzi seemed much more relaxed. Her originally pale face became rosier, and she didn't look like she was about to die at all.

But He Qing knew that this was just his father's last gasp before death.

"Alright, that's all I have to say. The future path of Tianji City is up to you to walk. And this world of myriad laws is about to change."

Wei Xingzi looked out the window, and what she saw seemed to be a vast battlefield.

Upon hearing his father mention the words "change of the world," He Qing thought of the impending decisive battle beyond Canghai Pass and asked, "Father, can Qin win this time?"

"Hehehe"

Wei Xingzi smiled softly. "Win?"

What does it mean to win?

What does it mean to lose?
Frost King.
What do you think?

As the old city lord uttered his last word, he slowly closed his eyes.

In the last moment of his vision, what he saw was not the courtyard outside.

Instead, outside Canghai Pass, the two armies were already arrayed and facing each other.

A man in white armor, holding a long spear and riding a snow-treading horse, stood at the front of the million-strong army and slowly put on the Asura Mask.

Behind him stood a million-strong army, all with their faces covered.

The Imperial Study in the Imperial Palace of the Qin Dynasty's capital.

The woman, who had been reviewing memorials all morning, was taking a nap on her desk.

A moment later, Qin Siyao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Xiao Mo."

As if sensing something, Qin Siyao straightened up, pressed her heaving chest, and pursed her thin lips tightly.

Suddenly standing up, Qin Siyao ran towards the Star Gazing Platform.

Upon arriving at the Star Gazing Platform, Qin Siyao stared blankly into the distance, her thoughts drifting aimlessly.

"I don't want anything right now. If Your Highness really feels bad, just take whatever reward you have."

After an eight-year-old boy saved a little girl of the same age, the little girl insisted on giving the boy a gift, and the boy said the following.

“Okay.” The little girl thought about it seriously, then looked up, her bright eyes sparkling. “I know what to give you.”

"what?"

"I want to beat the drum for you!" the little girl said happily.

"Drumming?"

"Yeah yeah."

The little girl nodded repeatedly.

"My father once told me that the best gift he had ever received in his life was on his birthday when he charged into battle and my mother beat the drum for him."

My father said it was the best gift, so it was the best.

And since you're so capable now, you'll definitely become a great general someday.

Therefore, I also want to give you this best gift!
Xiao Mo, say something! I'll beat the drum for you, okay?

Is that okay?

"it is good"

"My husband, I will beat the drum for you."

On the Star Gazing Platform, the woman put aside her thoughts.

Dressed in a simple long dress, she picked up the drumsticks with her slender hands.

"Boom!"

The drumsticks struck the drumhead, producing a deep and powerful sound that echoed through the air.

On the Canghai Pass plain, the two armies clashed head-on like giant waves from two vast oceans.

The leading man led the Snow-Treading Dragon Riders in a charge forward.

Whenever a battle begins, the men are always the first to charge forward, without exception!

Whenever the soldiers saw the general's back, they felt from the bottom of their hearts that even if they died on the battlefield, they would have no regrets in this life!
"Boom!"

The woman struck the drum again, and her plain long sleeves slipped off her arms, revealing her fair, lotus-root-like arms.

The two armies clashed, their battle deafening, and blood stained the earth and the sky crimson.

"Boom!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!!"

One blow after another, one sound after another.

The woman beat the drum faster and harder.

Fine beads of sweat slowly slid down her fair forehead.

A strong wind blew through her cascading hair and gently lifted the hem of her dress.

On the battlefield, every shot Xiao Mo fired cost several lives.

"Humans! Cease your arrogance!"

A demon cultivator from the Elephant Clan at the Jade Purity Realm roared, transformed into his original form, and stomped down on Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo focused his mind, leaped up, landed on its back, and plunged his spear into its body.

The ten ancient fiends on the Ten Fiends Spear surged forth with the spear energy, tearing at the flesh and blood of the Elephant Clan demon cultivator!
"Hooo!"

With a scream, the elephant-clan demon cultivator exploded into chunks of flesh and blood, scattered across the battlefield.

The snow-covered horse galloped towards its master.

Xiao Mo landed on his horse and continued fighting forward.

Xiao Mo fought with increasing ferocity, leading the Snow-Treading Dragon Riders to rampage across the battlefield and charge towards the center of the Qi army.

There, King Qi was watching everything on the battlefield.

High in the sky, cultivators at the Ascension Realm were engaged in a fierce battle, repeatedly trying to shatter the heavens.

In Xiao Mo's ears, the sound of war drums rang out one after another.

The sound of war drums seemed to come not from the grasslands, but from afar.

It was as if a woman in a plain dress stood behind the army, her sleeves rolled up, striking the drum with thunderous sounds!

Two Immortal Realm cultivators and five Jade Purity Realm experts led an army of 200,000 to form an array in front of Xiao Mo.

Within the formation, the King of Qi transformed himself into the core of the formation, using the last remaining fortune of Qi's mountains and rivers to power the great formation.

King Qi stared coldly at Xiao Mo and shouted, "You brat! Do you dare to enter the battle and kill me!"

At the same time, two Immortal Realm cultivators and three Jade Purity Realm cultivators from the Qin Kingdom landed around Xiao Mo.

One hundred thousand Snow-Treading Dragon Riders stopped behind Xiao Mo.

The 100,000 iron cavalrymen were all radiating blood, their armor stained with blood.

"Who is willing to join me in battle!"

Xiao Mo shouted loudly.

"We are willing to fight alongside the general!"

The five cultivators at the upper three realms and the 100,000 Snow-Treading Dragon Riders shouted in unison.

"Northern Wilderness Army!" Xiao Mo pointed his spear forward. "Break through their formation!"

Led by Xiao Mo, the iron cavalry surged towards the Qi army's formation.

Xiao Mo turned his head as if sensing something and looked into the distance.

There.

There is a tall building.

The spring sunshine fell on her, and she beat the war drum again and again, her long hair and long skirt fluttering in the wind.

Xiao Mo was not seen.

But Xiao Mo knew.

This is what she looks like right now.

It must be beautiful.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Dong dong dong dong!"

The woman pounded the war drum with all her might, sweat soaking her hair and clinging to her skirt.

Just as the woman struck the final blow, the drumstick in her hand suddenly broke and fell to the ground.

The drums stopped abruptly.

The woman's eyes flickered as she looked at the two broken drumsticks on the ground.

She slowly squatted down, picked up the drumsticks, and hugged them to her chest.

The woman hugged the drumsticks tighter and tighter.

The woman's eyes were covered with a layer of glistening mist.

Tears slid down the woman's cheeks and fell to the ground, one by one.

The woman cried for an unknown amount of time.

Until her tears flowed like a spring.

Until she broke down in tears.

Until she lost everything.
