Conceptual melting pot, the fusion of all realms starting from the Qin Dynasty.

If Bai Yifei dies, there will likely be a lot of unrest on South Korea's borders.

"Your subordinate dares not speak presumptuously!" the white-armored soldier hurriedly replied, "When the Marquis was pursuing Tianze and his three companions, he encountered an ambush by powerful figures in the forest. Ultimately, he was no match for them and was killed on the spot." 27

"Because of that person's methods, the Marquis was left with only some remains, which we have already collected and brought back."

King An of Han slumped onto his throne in a daze for a moment. After regaining his senses, he immediately asked angrily, "Who exactly murdered my Marquis of Han?"

After hesitating for a long time, Bai Jiajun stammered, "It seems to be Mr. Chen Hao from Qingpingzhai."

Han Wang'an frowned, his expression one of disbelief: "Mr. Chen Hao of Qingpingzhai? The one who is so famous for his painting in Xinzheng City?"

"Yes!"

The white-armored soldier nodded reluctantly.

"How is that possible?" Han Wang'an said angrily, "I also know about Chen Hao from Qingpingzhai. He is just a boy of about sixteen years old."

"Although Chen Hao is exceptionally talented in painting, how could he possibly be a match for a grandmaster?"

Although many talented cultivators have appeared in this world, there has never been a grandmaster around the age of sixteen.

How could King Han An accept such absurd intelligence?

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" the white-armored soldier quickly begged for mercy. "The powerful warrior who fought against the Marquis used the same golden light and thunder as Mr. Chen Hao."

"Furthermore, since the other party did not conceal his appearance and figure, we concluded that the other party was Chen Hao of Qingpingzhai."

King Han An froze, muttering to himself repeatedly:

"Golden light? Thunder?...Could the other party really be Chen Hao?"

Although King Han An appears muddle-headed and incompetent, he has his own sources of information regarding the unusual events that have occurred in Xinzheng City.

Although Chen Hao has not made many moves, Han Wang'an knows more about him than anyone else.

Therefore, after hearing about the golden light and thunder, King Han An believed most of what the white-armored soldiers below were saying.

Even if King Han An could confirm that Chen Hao was the murderer of Xueyi Hou, he would still be unable to avenge Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei through legitimate means.

Because a Grandmaster-level expert is beyond the reach of ordinary armies to besiege.

and...

How could Chen Hao become a Grandmaster at such a young age? Who knows if he has an old monster-like master behind him?

The thought of South Korea seeking revenge against Chen Hao, and possibly even attracting an old monster at the Celestial Realm, made even Han Wang'an feel a chill run down his spine.

There's another reason for this!

Han Wang An had naturally been paying close attention to the news of the appearance of the "Azure Dragon" scroll.

If Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei were to actually obtain the "Azure Dragon" scroll, King An of Han didn't know if he could still maintain control of the situation in Han.

Therefore, it can be said that Chen Hao, to some extent, is also Han Wang An's benefactor.

Although Han Wang'an was conflicted, he still continued to ask, "As far as I know, Chen Hao and Xueyi Hou should have no enmity between them, so why did he still try to kill Bai Yifei?"

"This..." The white-armored soldiers below the stage hesitated and stammered.

Many of the White Armored Army soldiers near the battlefield where Chen Hao and Bai Yifei were fighting had overheard their conversation and naturally knew why Chen Hao had killed Bai Yifei.

However, since this concerned their lord's reputation, the White-Armored Army dared not speak recklessly.

"Um?!"

King Han An naturally noticed the unusual behavior of the white-armored soldiers below the stage, and immediately roared angrily, "Speak!!!"

"Don't forget that you are now just a South Korean soldier; you are no longer Bai Yifei's subordinate."

Thinking of the current predicament of the white-armored soldier, he forced himself to say, "According to Chen Hao, the Marquis seems to have been absorbing women's blood and cultivating with women's lives."

"Chen Hao killed the Marquis under the guise of acting on behalf of Heaven."

Bang~!

Han Wang'an slammed his right hand heavily on the armrest of the chair beneath him, his face filled with an unpleasant expression.

"..."

After a long silence, King Han An finally dismissed the White Armor Army and then summoned his personal guards: "Men! Investigate everything in Blood-Clad Fortress immediately. I need to know what Bai Yifei has done."

"Yes!"

The guards of King Han bowed in response, then quickly left the King Han Palace, leading their men towards Blood-Clad Fortress.

...

Ji Wuye's General's Mansion!

Bang~!

The bronze wine cup slipped from Ji Wuye's hand. He stared blankly at the Nightfall member in front of him and asked, "What did you just say...?"

"Reporting to the General!" The Nightfall member responded briskly, "Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei was killed two hours ago in the jungle dozens of miles to the west by someone suspected to be Mr. Chen Hao of Qingpingzhai."

"The White-Armored Army has collected the Marquis's remains and has gone to the Han King's palace to report to the King."

Jade Tiger broke out in a cold sweat, trembling as he looked at Ji Wuye: "General, this...this...103...?"

"Is the Marquis really going to leave like this?"

Ji Wuye, who was seated above, became unusually silent, his face dark with anger.

Influenced by Ji Wuye, the entire general's mansion became unusually quiet.

However, after a moment of silence, Ji Wuye suddenly burst into arrogant laughter: "Ahahaha~ Ahahahahaha~~~!"

"It seems like fate is on my side!"

"With Bai Yifei gone, Nightfall is now completely in my hands, and the whole of South Korea will become my possession."

"Hahaha~~~!"

Ji Wuye clenched his right hand tightly, his eyes filled with an arrogant confidence.

Jade Tiger was not surprised by Ji Wuye's ambition, but hurriedly congratulated Ji Wuye: "Congratulations, General! Congratulations, General! Now that Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei is dead, the King of Han can only rely on you, General, if he wants to stabilize the border of Han."

Ji Wuye laughed loudly, then calmed down: "Don't speak recklessly!"

"Our biggest concern right now is news about Chen Hao; he could very well be a major enemy of Nightfall."

Speaking of Chen Hao, Ji Wuye was filled with rage.

Not only did the other side cause us to lose two capable generals, Mo Ya and Bai Feng, but they have now grown to a level that rivals Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei!

How could this not infuriate and frighten Ji Wuye?

Chapter 183 The Tide Demoness's Gentle Paradise, and the Establishment of the Seven Star Seats

Seeing Ji Wuye's caution towards Chen Hao, Emerald Tiger cautiously inquired, "General! Should we then take action against Chen Hao?"

"Yes! Why not?" Ji Wuye's ugly face twisted and gloomy as he looked at Emerald Tiger. "After Bai Yifei disappeared, the only ones blocking our way now are Han Fei, Wei Zhuang, and Chen Hao."

"How can I allow them to continue blocking my way?"

"Then what should we do?" Emerald Tiger's face showed that he completely obeyed Ji Wuye.

Ji Wuye stood up and walked to the window, his cold gaze fixed on the direction of Zilan Pavilion: "The Luo Net has suffered heavy losses in Chen Hao's hands, and the two top-tier assassins, Xuan Jian and Jing Ni, have fallen into Chen Hao's hands. I imagine they will soon take action against Chen Hao."

Jade Tiger's eyes lit up instantly: "General, you mean..."

Ji Wuye turned around and said with a cold smile, "Let the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) probe ahead, while we, the Nightfall Drivers, eliminate Chen Hao and Han Fei."

Pa~!

"General, you are brilliant!"

Emerald Tiger clapped his chubby hands and moved his obese body with difficulty to Ji Wuye's side. He helped him straighten the wine cup and refilled it with red wine. "In this way, even if Chen Hao has a powerful backer, he will not be able to escape our scheme."

Gurgle gurgle~!

Ji Wuye downed his drink in one gulp, a shrewd look flashing across his rugged face. He then said to Emerald Tiger, "Since Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei is dead, we must bring Tide Demoness into our hands as soon as possible."

The jade tiger turned its plump body to the side, its eyes gleaming with shrewdness:

"General, do you mean we should take action against the Empress now?"

"Of course!" Ji Wuye said decisively, "The Tide Demoness influences the entire Korean court. In the past, she had Bai Yifei protecting her. I don't want to do anything to her."

"But Bai Yifei is gone, how can I let the Tide Demoness be out of my control?"

Jade Tiger was not surprised by Ji Wuye's decision, and then tentatively asked, "General, Her Majesty is deep inside the royal palace. Even with our current strength, it is not advisable to go too deep."

"Controlling the Empress will probably not be an easy task."

Ji Wuye pondered for a moment, then said, "Everyone has weaknesses! As long as we can grasp the weakness of the Tide Demoness, we won't have to worry about not being able to control her."

"After Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei died, his sins hidden in Blood-Clad Fortress could no longer be concealed."

"Everyone associated with him will likely face Han Wang An's reckoning."

"And as for the Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei's cousin, the Tide Demoness is naturally the one most deeply involved."
